The exterior line of this 135 foot yacht is designed by Unielle Design Studio in collaboration with Heysea Engineering providing naval architecture.
She will feature interior styling by VYDs Paolo Dose. Her layout and facilities are developed by an owner who has definite ideas on how he would use his yacht including a Beach Club with side loading tender garage in the stern.
The ample full height sliding door on both sides of main saloon and dining room delivers fabulous views.
The submersible swim platform gives even non-swimmers a chance to splash around. She has a 8.5 metre beam delivering a roomy interior of more than 500 square meters, but will still measure under 500GT.
12 guests will be accommodated in a skylounge master, plus three VIPs and two guest staterooms.
Powered by twin Caterpillar engines, she will reach a maximum speed of 18 knots and has a range of 2,000 nautical miles at her economical speed with thanks to huge fuel tank capacity and low fuel burn.
The FRP 135 foot will become the second-largest yacht (by LOA) built by the Heysea Yachts with delivery schedule for the third quarter of 2019, after the 43-metre Catamaran which is currently under construction at the factory for China Cup Regatta.
Heysea Yachts also has other 100-foot plus builds on the order book, including two 108-foot vessels due for delivery in 2017 and one 115-foot due for delivery in 2018.
