YACHTS & YACHTING 39
A pool deck finished in travertine connects directly to the main lounge via fully openable glass panels, creating a continuous living space that can transition effortlessly from daytime relaxation to evening entertaining. The deck itself is designed to remain uncluttered, with mooring equipment concealed to preserve a clean and open environment.
Wellbeing is a key element of the onboard experience. A dedicated spa and beach club spans approximately 100 square metres and includes a sauna, steam room, ice bath, snow shower, treatment room and hyperbaric chamber. Developed in collaboration with Heesen’ s human health engineering specialists, the space has been created to meet the growing demand for integrated wellness at sea.
Interiors will be crafted entirely in-house by Heesen Interiors in Winterswijk, ensuring consistency in quality and finish throughout. The yacht’ s Smart Custom platform will allow owners to tailor materials, layouts and detailing to their individual preferences, supported by close collaboration between the shipyard and design teams.
