The 34.5 metre superyacht Ibi was built by Arsenal Marine in Cherbourg, France, in 1949 as a heavy duty tug boat. In 2003 the vessel was converted into the luxury superyacht we see today with her original hull lines having remained unchanged. She was installed with new on board systems and equipment and finished to a superyacht standard in order to accommodated her 12 guests in total luxury. Today the 67-year-old Maltese flagged vessel is kept in pristine condition and can often be seen spending time around the Balearic Islands in the summer season.
