“On board, the “Gentle Giant” comfortably accommodates up to twelve guests in six beautifully appointed, air-conditioned staterooms. Each room is lined with pale sycamore wood, four of which offer the flexibility of either a queen double or twin single bed arrangement. The spacious cabins, each around 16 square meters, are en suite with separate shower and head compartments, and a convertible desk or dressing table, providing a perfect blend of functionality and comfort.”
“The yacht’s interior is a masterpiece of understated elegance, featuring mahogany and rosewood finishes throughout. Guests can enjoy panoramic 360-degree views from the curvaceous deckhouse, while the large saloon offers a private office space and library, creating an atmosphere that is both luxurious and intimate.”
