The concept came from the mind of the owner; after having chartered two- or three-dozen different yachts all around the world over the last 20 years, he clearly understood and visualized how his dream boat would be.
He chose a sailboat rather than a motor yacht because of both the real and symbolic power of sails to convey those aboard to another place and time. “Sailing really brings you to another world and provides something magical,” he says.
The yacht was built with enormous outdoor space, he says, because he wanted a real sailing boat—something that brought her guests into close contact with the water, the atmosphere, and the wind. “It appeals to people who love the sea,” he says. “But for us, it was about being closer to the water.”
The interior style is a combination of modern and classical decorative elements. Beside Wenge and Anegre woods, different types of skai are applied on the walls and ceilings, all in beige, ivory, and cream, creating harmony and balance for the carefully designed interiors. The result is a stylish and elegant vessel that doesn’t lose any of its pragmatic side. The owner didn’t want anything that looked like it was showing off; he wanted yacht connoisseurs to recognize that this yacht represents a concept: it is, above all, very comfortable and very livable—constructed to a very high quality.
This yacht was not designed to be commercially viable. It was the expression of his emotion—transformed into a sailing dream by Sunreef under his guidance and advice—where family, friends, and students could come together in a place of discovery.
