Giorgio Maria Cassetta, commented: “We are honoured to create a new, beautiful design for a client that showed us his love from our very first meeting five years ago, and continuously supported our vision through his first and now second build with us. The great attention that he and his family dedicated to the definition of the design will be instrumental to the creation of a new masterpiece.”

The design team, shipyard and owner have worked closely together to bring their shared vision to life. The key consideration was to create large outdoor entertaining areas able to accommodate the owner’s multi-generational family and allow them to continue to cherish the peace and tranquillity they enjoy on their current yacht.
