YACHTS & YACHTING
The main deck forward is home to six of the yacht ’ s 10 cabins . The cabins are split between four identical doubles aft and two twins forward , and each have their own colour scheme . The doubles are red , turquoise , beige and royal blue , while the twins are green and navy blue . The cabins are awash with their chosen colour , with lacquered sycamore wardrobe doors , silk carpets , custom lampshades , bed frames and even the loo seats all bold and bright . The colours are carried through to the bathrooms as well , with stunning hand-dyed mother of pearl surrounds on the mirrors and bright Calacatta marble throughout .
The upper deck houses three more guest cabins : a double and two matching VIPs . The double cabin may be small in size but it packs a heavyweight punch in style . It boasts a blue and white , nautical-meets-The Hamptons theme , with a beautifully woven wool carpet , dressing room , stunning marble bathroom and enormous windows . The two VIP cabins are identical except for colour , with one in blue and the other in a warm burnt orange . These two cabins boast a stunning accent wood that has been laminated with bronze . Running along the wall and framing the large windows , the whole shimmering structure becomes a piece of art in itself . The bathrooms boast eye catching Zebrino marble and bronze Armani marble , complemented by rose gold taps and handles . On the cabin walls , pictures of vintage seaplanes are an homage to a passion of the owner .
Overlooking the bow is the cinema room . Deep sofas include stainless steel trays to hold drinks and snacks as well as charge phones . From a technical perspective this room also includes a first , with the huge floor to ceiling two-by-three-metre windows boasting electrically switchable glass . A flush-line sliding door on each side leads out onto the foredeck , with a built-in sofa and table on one side and a sunpad on the other , protected from the elements by the height of the bow .
In the upper deck salon a stunning bar in backlit white alabaster with deep blue stripes immediately draws the eye . This is a mature , grownup space , as confirmed by the white Steinway and Sons grand piano in the corner . On the port side , comfortable sofas surround two custom coffee tables . One of the objectives of the brief was to create central guest spaces that would form the heart of the yacht and be easy to move between . The upper aft deck is one of these key areas and is home to the informal exterior dining space as well as the large ethanol-driven fire pit . Glass windbreakers slide in to position along the side decks to provide respite from the elements , a key request from the owner . Next to the dining table is a sizeable Teppanyaki bar .
The bridge deck is home to the bridge forward and the master suite aft . Inside the master suite the brief to include colours and textures has been stepped up a gear and the space explodes into a kaleidoscope of warmth and personality . The wall panelling in white tinted oak finished with a clear blue luminous resin gives the space a stylish , futuristic feel . To port and starboard are two corridors of his-and-hers dressing rooms with spy mirror wardrobe doors . At the end of the central hallway to the cabin a large work of art in bright red makes an impressive impact . On the port side , her bathroom is a feminine , clean space , with a stunning white quartzite light-reflecting floor and geometric inlay work in stainless steel . Among the aesthetic details there are practical considerations too , such as a refrigerator for beauty creams . To starboard is his bathroom , where a dark Travertine marble gives the space a masculine energy , with bold details in brushed painted teak . A huge shower is reminiscent of that of an opulent spa .
