The Ferretti Yachts 750 and Pershing 62: two première for the german market at the Düsseldorf International Boat Show

Düsseldorf, 15th January 2015 – This Saturday 17th January, the 2015 edition of BOOT, the Düsseldorf International Boat Show, will officially open. During the event, which will last until 25th January, the Ferretti Group will display four of the most prestigious models in its fleet: the iconic Riva yachts Rivarama Super and Aquariva Super, and two première for the German market, the Ferretti Yachts 750 and the Pershing 62.

Both these crafts, which have already been enthusiastically welcomed at all the international boat shows they have been taking part in, belong to the “strategic” category ranging between 60 and 80 feet in length, which is particularly sought for in continental and northern Europe.
The Ferretti Yachts 750 and the Pershing 62 are, therefore, two more representatives of a fleet that has always skilfully blended together the most interesting technological innovations and the top-quality of Italian traditional craftsmanship.

The Ferretti Group is taking part directly in the BOOT again after a few years away. At the boat show – the first to be held in 2015 and one of the most exclusive ones for the European yachting industry – yachting enthusiasts and visitors will be welcomed by the Group’s staff in its large, stylish stand set up in Halle 6, both during the nine days of the show and on the occasion of the Blue Motion Night, which will be held on Tuesday 20th January, when the show will remain open until 10 p.m.

“Every year the Düsseldorf boat show plays a crucial role for the Ferretti Group, as it allows us to get in direct contact with customers, journalists, and dealers from central and northern Europe, an area characterized by a high standard of living and a still-growing economy” – commented Stefano De Vivo, Ferretti Group’s Chief Commercial Officer. “This is why this year the Group has decided to take part in the boat show directly and to present four very successful models of its fleet, including two absolute première for Germany: the Ferretti Yachts 750 and the Pershing 62, which are leading crafts for our brands; they both belong to the category between 60 and 80 feet in length, a very appealing range on these markets”.

FERRETTI GROUP’S TWO PREMIÈRE AT THE BOOT 2015

FERRETTI YACHTS 750
The Ferretti Yachts 750 has an overall length of 22.75 metres and a beam of 5.70 metres, and is a true milestone in the evolution of the brand’s range above 70 feet in length. This yacht, which features several innovative solutions both outdoor and indoor, immediately strikes for its streamlined and sporty outer profile, which benefits from the installation of an elongated-tail, aerodynamic flybridge. In the standard version, without the hard top, the flybridge is even more spacious, as there is no davit. The sundeck is in any case also available in the other two versions – with a roll bar and integrated Bimini top or with a hard top and awning. The outer aft area hosts an over-1.5-metre-long electrically-hydraulically operated swimming platform that can be lowered by almost half a metre below the water surface, resulting in very easy tender launch and haulage.
The platform can lift up to 450 kg and can host an almost four-metre tender.
The Ferretti Yachts 750 will come in two different engine configurations: two MTU 10V 2000 M84, 1381 Mhp engines or, as an option, two MTU 10V 2000 M93, 1524 Mhp engines. The standard configuration allows to reach a maximum speed of 30 knots and a cruising speed of 27 knots, while the optional configuration can push the yacht to a maximum speed of 32.5 knots and a cruising speed of 29.

PERSHING 62
Natural evolution of the Pershing 56 and Pershing 58, two of the brand’s most successful models, boasting more than 70 built and sold hulls, the Pershing 62 immediately strikes for its streamlined, slender profile: the bottom line and the superstructure have indeed been designed to obtain a slim, fast yacht characterised by aggressive lines and a sporty personality. Truly breathtaking is also the unique shape of the hull glazing – a typical feature in Pershing’s new era that can now be found in this model too, preserving the family feeling and ensuring great brightness in the full-beam master cabin located amidships. The VIP cabin too benefits from two windows with portholes, which let it plenty of natural light. The Pershing 62 is available in two versions: with three cabins and three heads with separate shower box or with two cabins – the master stateroom and the VIP cabin -, while the guest cabin is replaced by a living area. Moreover, two engine configurations are available for this yacht: two MTU 10V 2000 M84, 1381 Mhp engines or two MTU 10V 2000 M93, 1524 Mhp ones. In this second version, the Pershing 62 can reach a maximum speed of 46.5 knots and a cruising speed of 42 knots. In the standard model the Pershing 62 is equipped with Searex surface drives; upon request the Autotrim system can also be installed.

Two absolute premières for the North America market will be on display from 12th to 16th February within the extraordinary backdrop of Miami Beach: Ferretti Yachts 650, in the hard top version, and Pershing 70.
An overall fleet of 18 yachts, including many of the most successful models of the Group’s brands. At the show in Miami, besides the two premières, Ferretti Group will present the 16 best-selling models of the brands Ferretti Yachts, Riva and Pershing:
• Ferretti Yachts 960, Ferretti Yachts 870, Ferretti Yachts 800, Altura 840 and Ferretti Yachts 690 by Ferretti Yachts;
• 122’ Mythos, 86’ Domino, 63’ Virtus, Rivale, Rivarama Super, Aquariva Super, Iseo by Riva;

The Group’s CEO, Alberto Galassi, together with the Chief Commercial Officer Stefano de Vivo, and Americas President and CEO James Henderson will hold a press conference on 12th February to present the Group’s strategies for the North and Latin American markets and the new models that will be launched in 2015.
“The successful results achieved by Ferretti Group in America are due to the strengthening of our direct presence in the continent and to the amazing job performed by our selected distribution network in North and South America. For this reason, we will take part in the Miami Yacht & Brokerage Boat Show with a large fleet, proving our strength on this market”, declared Alberto Galassi, Ferretti Group’s CEO. “Our target is to continue enhancing our growth, focusing both on a further international expansion and on a strategy aiming at developing and promoting our brands, which are the symbol of Made in Italy all over the world”.
In the Americas, Ferretti Group can boast one of the stronger dealer network of the continent, with nine sales centers located in North America – Miami Beach, Palm Beach, Ft.

THE TWO “NORTH AMERICA PREMIÈRES” AT THE MIAMI YACHT & BROKERAGE BOAT SHOW 2015

FERRETTI YACHTS 650
This model, which was presented for the first time at the 2014 edition of the Cannes Yachting Festival, is the forerunner of a series of models which will set the aesthetic rules of the “Yachts” line under 70 feet. The Ferretti Yachts 650 immediately strikes the eye for its truly distinctive profile. Its outer silhouette is characterized by a flybridge equipped with an aerodynamic hard top and new fiberglass decorative elements that “cut” through the profile of the glazing in the superstructure. An unprecedented decoration connects the windows of the three cabins below deck, providing the craft an even more captivating look.
Its slender lines are further enhanced by the yacht’s aft area, specifically designed to ensure easy and safe tender handling and increase the guests’ on board comfort. A tender lift, which can lodge an over 9 feet tender and be lowered by 3 feet with respect to its original position, has been installed on the yacht to handle the tender without any davit. It allows a comfortable access to the sea, also thanks to some built-in steps.
The main deck is an extremely functional open space. The galley, which is open on all sides, allows using this space as al large bar area open to the bow and facing the dining and living areas, enhancing the sense of comfort and conviviality for guests.
The under deck layout features three double cabins with separated heads. The Ferretti Yachts 650 is equipped with two Caterpillar engines, CAT C18, allowing the yacht to reach a cruising speed of 26 knots and a maximum speed of 30 knots. The optional engines (1150 mhp), in turn, can push the yacht to a cruising speed of 30 knots and a top speed of 33 knots.

PERSHING 70
The Pershing 70 marks a new breakaway from the past and a new step forward in Pershing’s over thirty-year evolution. Its futuristic and imposing shapes are highlighted even more by the two large side wings that endow this yacht with a truly unmistakable look and even larger on-board space, to ensure the utmost comfort. At the same time, thanks to the technological equipment installed on-board the Pershing 70 surpasses its competitors having an equivalent size. A series of MOSFET electronic control units (a technology based on power transistors) has indeed been installed on-board, allowing to simplify the electrical system, reduce the number of on-board cables, and apply power electronics to the electrical system.
Moreover, a series of power boards allows to monitor and control the individual on-board systems, as well as to display on-board data, thereby making available an extremely advanced and easily expandable home automation system at a very competitive cost. The shipyard has indeed developed a number of optional system configurations, i.e. several ‘packages’ allowing the owner to choose one or more ‘custom solutions’ that can be adapted to suit specific on-board requirements or expanded with additional functions and ‘dedicated’ software applications, thanks to the assistance of Ferretti Group’s engineers.
If required, the home automation system can be integrated with the innovative audio/video interaction system VOTIS (Videoworks One Touch Infotainment System), the result of the cooperation between the Research & Development department and Videoworks, the Group’s technological partner. VOTIS allows to control the entertainment system installed on the main deck via an iPad, thereby replacing the various remote controls required for the different devices with one unit only. Upon request, the same control function can be extended to other areas on the yacht or installed on the Owner’s own devices.

Inaugurates its new HQ in Milan and explains its strategy for renewed expansion and growth

Milan, 24th March 2015 – Ferretti Group, leader in the design, construction, sale and service of luxury motor yachts, with a unique portfolio of prestigious brands that rank among the most exclusive in the global yachting industry, inaugurated its new Milan HQ today, right in the heart of the city.
During the press conference, Alberto Galassi, Chief Executive Officer of Ferretti Group, presented their strategies for growth and expansion over the next three years, immediately following the increase in capital worth €80 million, fully subscribed and paid up by its majority shareholder, Weichai Group, with the aim of consolidating and underpinning its net worth and supporting a relaunch that includes a series of targeted actions to implement new strategies and directions.

The Group is focusing on the continued development of the core brands in its portfolio – particularly Riva, Ferretti Group Yachts, Pershing and Custom Line – involving investments in product development and research worth over €50 million over the three year period spanning 2015-2017, that will fund the launch of 27 new models. The new Riva Superyachtsdivision is part of this new direction, endorsing the decision by the historic and iconic brand to enter the 50-metre-plus super yacht segment.

This is what Alberto Galassi had to say during the press conference: “On such an important day, when we are officially unveiling our new HQ in Italy’s capital of design and innovation, we have plenty of reasons to feel proud and satisfied: we are continuing our efforts to relaunch the Group, which is now reclaiming its position as the leader in the yachting industry; we are investing over 50 million in 27 new models; we are launching the Riva Superyachtsdivision, which has already won an order for its first 50 meter craft; we are presenting a Group that has already slashed its losses by half and reduced its bank borrowings to an all-time low and will continue to benefit from the full support of its majority shareholder Weichai, after its decision to continue investing in the industrial excellence of our country by subscribing to a substantial increase in share capital”.

Thanks to the efforts of the new management team, Ferretti Group saw its losses more than halved in 2014 compared to 2013 despite a particularly challenging market situation, resulting in a net loss of about €46 million, with bank borrowing at an all-time low in the history of the Group, amounting to just €34 million at the end of 2014.

The launch of new models and the efforts to develop markets in the years to come, are signs of the Group’s hopes and intentions to reach break-even and achieve sales volume worth €542 million by the end of 2017, compared to estimated sales of €373 million by the end of 2015 and €392 million in 2016. The Group also expects to see steady growth in its margins over the next three years, and aims to achieve a positive EBITDA of €16 million in 2016, expanding to €44 million in 2017.

WIDER 32’

Stylish, Compact Vessel Makes Perfect Superyacht Tender or Sleek Express Cruiser

Castelvecchio (Pu) Italy, 6th March, 2015.

In 2014 Wider announced they started production of the newest addition to the revolutionary Wider fleet: the sleek yet spacious Wider 32’. Designed by Fulvio De Simoni as the perfect tender to the Wider 150’ or any other superyacht, this highly versatile model is equally suited to use as a fast, comfortable sport cruiser.

As you would expect from a Wider yacht, the new 32’ is easily distinguishable from other express cruisers. Its dominant axe bow and low transom give the impression it is leaping out of the water, eager to slice through the waves. The 9’ 8” beam tapers only slightly towards the bow in order to provide maximum cockpit space and freedom of movement, and to facilitate boarding from a mother ship. The cockpit is designed to be easily adapted to the owner’s specific requirements, accommodating as many different configurations as possible from an inviting dining area with folding table to a nice sunbathing platform. The Wider 32’ also comes with an adjustable, easily installed awning to shade the entire cockpit.

Below deck, the stylish cabin is furnished with two facing sofas that provide comfortable seating for entertaining or ship-to-shore transportation protected from the weather; they also convert into spacious berths for overnight stays on board. The galley, equipped with sink, stove ring and refrigerator, disappears seamlessly into the contemporary cabinetry. A surprisingly large, full-beam head with shower is housed in the bow. Storage for personal belongings is maximized throughout the Wider 32’.

The hull is designed to provide a smooth ride and excellent performance. Twin 260-hp Mercruiser Turbo Diesel engines mated to Bravo 1 DTS stern drives deliver a cruising speed of 30 knots and a top speed of 37 knots. This diesel propulsion package also ensures that the tender’s fuel matches that of the mother ship.
Wider Chairman and CEO Tilli Antonelli and his design team have invested thousands of hours into the design and development of the Wider 32’, in order to ensure that it is practical for use as a tender but also reflects Wider’s philosophy of innovation and initiative. When configured as a tender, the dedicated design, engineering and construction process behind this innovative vessel makes it possible to achieve a perfect symbiosis between the Wider 32’ and the superyacht it serves. But no matter how the vessel will be used, Wider offers a high level of customization for the 32’. The owner can select from a wide range of hull and deck colors, window glass and frames, sunpad and seat configurations, upholstery and accessories, to make his or her own final version of the boat come to life.

“The owner is the most important player in the creation of his boat, so his Wider 32’ ultimately will reflect his own individual being,” said Wider President and CEO Tilli Antonelli. “Imagine a project designed to offer you a truly personal and unique experience, which through teamwork involves you in the most inspiring phase, when your yacht comes to life. All that is left is for you to give it an identity. Let yourself be inspired by fragments of your memories to mix and match your favorite styles, colors and materials. Bring all of yourself aboard, because Wider 32’ is made of who you are.”

CRN signs a letter of intent for the biggest megayacht ever sold in the chinese market

Ancona, 21 January 2014 – CRN signed a Letter of Intent (LOI) with a client from mainland China industrial group for a 68 metres superyacht, the biggest vessel ever sold by CRN and Ferretti Group in China.

The historical shipyard of Ancona, part of Ferretti Group, specialising in the construction and sale of fully-customised displacement megayacht in steel and aluminium, ranging from 40 to 90 metres in length, signed on 14th January in Weifang, the first LOI for 2014 for the sale of a 68 metres megayacht.

The signing was carried out in the presence of Tan Xuguang, Chairman of Weichai Group and Ferretti Group;Representatives of Weichai Group Senior Management; Lamberto Tacoli, Chairman and CEO of CRN; Alessandro Tirelli, Ferretti Group Asia-Pacific Sales Director. Xu Xinyu, Executive President of Weichai Group and Ferretti Group, hosted the signing ceremony.

The delivery of the vessel, expected to happen in 2017, is a further step for the shipyard to enter an expanding market, the Chinese one, showing the great support received from the Weichai Group, a strategic partner, which is a competitive advantage for CRN and the Ferretti Group.

The 68 metres long and 12.50 metres wide superyacht project, fully custom and made out of steel and aluminium, has been created by Zuccon International Project.

One of the distinctive features of the new vessel is the innovative floodable garage, which allows the tender to enter the water without using a crane. Introduced for the first time by CRN on M/Y J’Ade 60 metres, exhibited for the first time at the Monaco Boat Show, is now being applied to a vessel of larger dimensions. The garage transforms a technical space into a new living area with a beach that the Owner’s family and guests can enjoy.

At the moment 6 vessels are being manufactured at the Ancona shipyard: 4 steel and aluminium CRN megayacts – CRN 131 of 74 m (designed by Zuccon International Project), CRN 132 of 73 m (designed by Omega Architects), CRN 133 of 60 m (designed by Francesco Paszkowski Design), CRN 134 of 55 m (designed by Nuvolari & Lenard) – together with a maxiyacht of the Ferretti Custom Line product line, the CL 124’, and a Riva, the 122’ Mythos made of aluminium will be added.

The CRN shipyard is today one of the most important international poles for building pleasure ships and is a model for research in style and continuous product evolution in terms of design and innovation. A long tradition of Italian excellence that, in 2013, has seen the realization of the new M/Y Chopi Chopi 80 metres, the biggest vessel ever built by CRN throughout its 50 years of history and among the 100 biggest megayacht built worldwide.

By signing the LOI for the sale of a new 68 metres megayacht in China, the shipyard has achieved an important result in view of the Hainan Rendez-Vous 2014, a high luxury event that will take place between 27 – 30th March in Sanya. In the light of this, CRN will be taking part in what has become, throughout these years, a strategic event.

“The signing of our first LOI for 2014 with a Chinese client is not only something to take pride in, but also a true witness of the strategic path we have embarked on,” affirms Lamberto Tacoli, Chairman and CEO of CRN. “The conquest of new markets, and above all that of the Asia-Pacific basin, is indeed a short-term fundamental objective for the brand, which will be pursued as we continue to invest in our assets: design, innovation, craftsmanship and the Made in Italy.”

Thanks to unique and innovative megayacht and the continuous project research, CRN presents itself as being synonymous with excellence which combines creativity, design, technology and craftsmanship, which gives rise to iconic products of the Made in Italy for Owners from all over the world, more and more appreciated by the Chinese market.

The launching of the new 60 metres CRN is approaching

Ancona, 5th February 2014 – Less than a month to go to the launch of the new 60 metres megayacht in steel and aluminium designed by CRN, part of the Ferretti Group and specialising in the construction of fully-customized displacement megayachts, made of steel and aluminium, ranging from 40 to 90 metres. Hull number 133 of the Ancona shipyard will be launched on March 1st at a private ceremony.

At the shipyard of Ancona work continues in view of the preparation for the ceremony: indeed, the megayacht was moved, with the help of a hydraulic travel lift, to the slipway, an inclined surface where the pre-launching operations will be carried out in the coming weeks while work on the interiors will continue. All the handling phases required great care and attention on the workers’ part.

This spectacular phase presents another work of art produced by the shipyard in all its grandeur. The external shape and internal layout of the new superyacht have been designed by Francesco Paszkowski in close collaboration with the CRN Technical Department which took care of the naval project, while the interior design was taken care of by the CRN Design Department in collaboration with the Owner’s Designer.

The vessel is strongly streamlined thanks to its sleek profile and elegant and sharp exterior lines which offer large external and internal volumes. The design solutions developed by CRN will offer constant contact with the marine elements.

At the moment, besides the 60 metre, 5 vessels of the CRN brand are being manufactured: namely, 3 steel and aluminium megayachts – CRN 131 74 m (designed by Zuccon International Project), CRN 132 73 m (designed by Omega Architects) and CRN 134 55 m (designed by Nuvolari & Lenard) – together with another maxiyacht of the Ferretti Custom Line, the CL 124’, and a Riva 122’ Mythos made of aluminium.

Two new letters of intent signed by CRN for the construction of two 44 metres megayachts

Ancona, 14th February 2014 – Two weeks after the signing of the Letter of Intent (LOI) for the construction of a 68 metres – the biggest megayacht ever sold in the Chinese market – CRN has signed two new LOI for the construction of two 44 metres megayachts, destined for the Middle-Eastern and European markets respectively.

CRN, part of the Ferretti Group and specialising in the construction of fully-customized displacement megayachts, made of steel and aluminium, ranging from 40 and 90 metres, shows its vitality once again only a few months after the 50th anniversary of the shipyard, which was celebrated in 2013.

For these two vessels CRN harks back to the great tradition and history of the brand, taking inspiration from SuperConero, the historic line of the seventies, in a project presented for the first time at the Monaco Yacht Show 2013. The project SuperConero 44 mt, a displacement megayacht with bulb, made of steel and aluminium, 44 metres long and 8.60 wide, within 500 GT, designed by Zuccon International Project and whose project design was developed by CRN Engineering, begins its concrete realization today for the first time with the signing of the two LOI.

The innovation and continual search for unique design solutions, both in the layout of the vessels and in the interiors, are characteristic traits of the shipyard, which offers on these 44metres megayachts all the most important innovations developed over the years: the balcony that can be enjoyed while sailing, the open terrace overlooking the sea, which can be enjoyed when moored offshore, the large beach club at the stern and, not least, the floodable garage for the tender. Introduced for the first time on a vessel on board the 60 metres megayacht M/Y J’Ade, the garage transforms a technical space into a living area for the first time, integrated with a beach, which creates a unique and extensive space at the waterline and can be enjoyed by the Owner’s family and guests. The garage can also hold a tender with a capacity of 10 people.

The transatlantic range, the project design and the manufacturing, to the highest standards acknowledged worldwide in the nautical industry (RINA and MCA), the large internal volumes and the predominant use of glass for the large floor-to-ceiling windows giving a constant view of the sea, make the SuperConero 44 metres megayacht a unique vessel.

The two LOI signed for the Middle-East and Europe highlight an intense period for the Ancona shipyard, where at the moment 6 vessels of the CRN brand are being manufactured: namely 4 steel and aluminium megayachts – CRN 131 74 m (designed by Zuccon International Project), CRN 132 73 m (designed by Omega Architects), CRN 133 60 m (designed by Francesco Paszkowski Design) and CRN 134 55 m (designed by Nuvolari & Lenard) – together with another maxiyacht of the Ferretti Custom Line, the CL 124’, and a Riva 122’ Mythos made of aluminium.

Lamberto Tacoli, Chairman and CEO of CRN, said: “I am happy about the signing of these two Letters of Intent for the 44 metres SuperConero Line; this confirms that we have made the right choices in a very important segment of market for CRN. The shipyard is working hard to plan and produce “unique products” which will make these jewels loved and utilized by their Owners. The European and Middle-Eastern Nationality of Prospects means continuity in historically strategic markets for CRN. For this reason we will be at the Dubai International Boat Show again in March.”

Lamberto Tacoli, Chairman and CEO of CRN, declared: “The “christening” of a new yacht is always an exciting milestone for the Owner and the entire Company. Particularly, we take pride in this launch because it is the eighth megayacht in the 60mt segment of in the last ten years. Each launch reflects the work done over many years and the beginning of new prospects for the future. CRN, now more than ever, has confirmed itself amongst the leading companies that build pleasure ships, taking pride in representing Made in Italy in the world”.

After the launch, the yacht will remain in the Shipyard until the end of April: in the coming months, technical tests will be carried out and the final details of the interior fittings will be put in place, before it is finally delivered to the Owner.

At the moment another 5 vessels of the CRN brand are being built: namely, 3 steel and aluminum megayachts – CRN 131 74 m (designed by Zuccon International Project), CRN 132 73 m (designed by Omega Architects) and CRN 134 55 m (designed by Nuvolari & Lenard) – together with another maxiyacht of the Ferretti Custom Line, the CL 124’, and a Riva 122’ superyacht Mythos made of aluminum.

Moreover, 2 Letters of Intent have been recently signed for the construction of two 44 meter “SuperConero” megayachts, inspired by the historic line of the seventies, and another Letter of Intent for a 68 meter superyacht, the biggest ever realized for the Asian market.

M/Y CRN 133 61 m

133° hull produced by the shipyard of Ancona, made of steel and aluminum, has an overall length of 61,3 meters and a 10.20 meter beam and is equipped with two Caterpillar 3512 C-C 1’230 kW@1800 rpm engines, which allow it to navigate at a maximum speed of 15 knots and a cruising speed of 14 knots.

The construction of this megayacht is the joint work of the CRN Technical Department, which took care of the naval project, and Francesco Paszkowski, who designed the exterior and interior lines, in close collaboration with the CRN Design Department.

The megayacht, with 5 decks and a sub deck, can comfortably host 12 people, distributed in 5 guest cabins and the Owner’s suite, and 15 crew members.

On the main deck there is a large main salon with a dining area, which can be reached from the aft. Towards the bow there is a lift for the guests and a circular lobby, which separate the salon from the sleeping area, which consists of two VIP double en suite.

The lower deck has another three VIP double cabins, each with its own bathroom, and towards the bow there is a crew area with 6 double cabins. The stern area is dedicated to relaxation, with the stern hatch that opens onto a large beach club. Towards the bow, just before the engine room, there are two large garages which can hold two great tender.

The entire upper deck consists of the Owner’s apartment and features a large external dining table and a large indoor skylounge. Towards the bow, separated from the lobby by a lift, there is the Owner’s suite which can be reached from the Owner’s study. For relaxation, the Owner has a square spa pool at the far bow, which can transform into a sundeck. It is worth mentioning the geometry of the main shaft which, thanks to its hollow structure in the central part, allows guests to have a full view from bow to stern while relaxing.

Unlike all the other 60 meter built by the shipyard, this yacht has an extra deck: a fly deck, used as a well-being area and for the captain. In fact, from the stern forward there is a fitness area with a large glass surface and a skylight, a hammam and a circular lobby, which separates the captain’s cabin and that of the crew from the pilot house.

Finally, the sun deck, is furnished with a circular spa pool and is completely protected by windscreen glass.
