Perhaps her most defining difference, however, is a complete rearrangement of
the sun deck. Outdoor living was a priority for the owners and the team. The
goal was to create an atmosphere where 12 guests could interact regardless
of their location on the deck. "Whether in the spa pool forward or a sun chair
aft, you can still have eye contact with one another," says Scott. To achieve
this, Johnson established three distinct areas that can be linked or
separated from one another using glass partitions.Forward is the barbecue, spa, sun pads, bar and outdoor shower.
Amidships is the gymnasium, which can be air-conditioned after being enclosed
using the retractable fore-and-aft glass doors. Aft is the alfresco dining
and lounge area fitted with one of the yacht’s two large outdoor dining
tables—the other is aft on the main deck—and loose teak furniture and umbrellas.
The radar arch and a retractable Bimini provide protection from the sun and
wind.

This aft area also converts to a helipad for touch-and-go
landings. Changeable lighting, foldaway TVs and exercise machines, and a great
sound system transform the full deck into a disco complete with spinning
ball. A gently curved stairway
with leather railing leads guests indoors to the skylounge one deck below. The
transition from outdoors to indoors is smoothed using large windows and arced
floor-to-ceiling glass walls/doors aft looking out to another open-air dining
area. The sensation of being on the water is ever present, and a palette of
aqua, yellow and blue boldly references the sea and sky.
As with the sun deck, this lounge features distinct zones. It’s
a theme repeated throughout the yacht’s public spaces—intimate and inviting
seating areas punctuated by large open spaces. Satin anigre paneling is accented
by high-gloss wengé furniture pieces. Aft, a large sectional sofa, a low coffee
table and several ottomans invite you to kick up your feet and take advantage of
the room’s advanced media array. A full-service bar, which conveniently leads to
the upper-deck pantry, separates the television area from a reading area
forward.

The upper-deck pantry is linked via stairway and dumbwaiter to
the main-deck pantry below, allowing for efficient service to the top decks.
Rounding out the upper deck is the captain’s cabin, a guest stateroom and,
forward, the wheelhouse, which is accessed through a hallway inlaid with mosaic
tiles that coordinate with motifs found in the dayheads.
Light enters the bridge through nine large vertical windows. A
large sofa is raised along the length of the aft bulkhead in the center of the
wheelhouse and is the ideal spot for guests to observe all the action. A
state-of-the-art helm console displays everything from oil pressure to security
surveillance to CNN on seven screens.
