She is a 115m (377.3ft) motor yacht of 5,403GT, with a steel hull and aluminium superstructure custom-built to DNV-GL classification and delivered by Lurssen in 2003. She was designed by two of the world’s most celebrated yacht designers with sweeping exterior styling by Tim Heywood and beachside villa interiors by Terence Disdale. Since her delivery, she has had three significant refits. Firstly at Blohm+Voss in 2008 when her second helipad was added, at Kusch Yachts in 2017, and most recently a thorough refit and maintenance period, including her special survey, due to complete in April (2025).
