The Experience
An oak and walnut parquet entrance lobby is offset by a striking sculptural staircase in stainless steel, oak and leather, which links all three decks and sets the tone for truly seven star luxe interiors.
An open-plan lounge and dining area boasts an oak and nickel dining table, and a contemporary furnishing scheme punctuated by curated artworks chosen by the owners, including carved limestone sculptures by John Farnham. This versatile space can be joined with the exterior deck to create a beach lounge.
Other personal touches include a rug in the dining area that’s decorated with a free form pattern inspired by the owner’s herd of Shorthorn cattle!
The full-beam owner’s suite includes a study with spectacular views, a walk-in dressing room, black and white photography by Jason Langer and a grand panelled hotel-style ensuite with white marble tops and Art Deco lighting.
Two spacious and individually designed twin cabins with green and red detail, and a further double cabin, make up the accommodation along with a convertible cabin that can be configured as a full-beam VIP stateroom with separate lounge.
Water sports lovers will appreciate the 5m Castoldi Jet tender, two SeaBobs, two Laser Picos, two kayaks, a knee board, wakeboard, paddleboards, water skis, inflatables and snorkelling equipment.
