Daryl, thanks to your tour of the 117, it has been on my mind. I have rarely seen a larger motor yacht as well conceived. Having briefly reviewed the boat’s sales postings, I offer the following:The private and public spaces of a 125 foot motor yacht delivered in a 117 foot package.
Exterior styling and interior design for the modern market place.
From the superstructure’s commodious electronics and audio/visual equipment “attic” down to the engine room bilges, significant effort has been made to provide ease of service and maintenance. Superlative quality in every aspect of the yacht – from exterior hardware and surfaces, to interior fit and finish, to thoughtfully executed mechanical and electrical systems that utilize top flight equipment and materials.
Best, Ron
