We believe there were eight built in total. The hull and machinery was built at De Vries and then she was brought back to Viareggio for finishing. Refit work was also designed by Carlo Riva. The yacht is commercially registered and can charter. She is MCA certified and in RINA class. The upper fly bridge / sun deck has a bar, and a wooden table which opens out and a large parasol fits into its centre. It has a teak deck, and there is space for sun bathing. The main deck has teak hand rails. There is an enormous sun bathing area forward of the bridge. The aft deck has a dining / lounging area, and access to the recently added swim platform. The interior has two saloons: One saloon aft with lounging sofas and poofs. Bose surround cinema, and plasma TV. Large windows. Fresh decor with new fabrics in 2008. Wooden floor. Alcantara deck heads. Variable lighting. One saloon forward with a good size table. Bose surround cinema, and plasma TV. Large windows. New units with soft closing drawers. There is a completely new bridge, with an attractive leather finish. The galley is well equipped, with a large fridge and separate freezer; and there is a laundry space with washer and dryer. The yacht has a timeless classic design, Riva and De Vries pedigree, and in many ways is like a new yacht in terms of both decor and equipment levels.
