The vessel's owner named the yacht after his 1959 Bonneville racer. It sits in a glass display for all to see.
It’s a great turn of events for the yacht that nearly never was, after the first owner from Asia pulled out just months before completion. “I had a call to say the owner was taking the boat, and we then had six months of interior work and just two months to get operational,” says Read. “It was a case of jumping at the opportunity and pulling a crew together.”
The 1,400-square-foot master apartment lives on the level above, with an adjoining study, a private 860-square-foot outdoor terrace with sun loungers and a marble-clad bathroom with a sauna. Both the VIP and master enjoy full-sized bathtubs and private lounges.The interior designed by Green & Mingarelli includes wide-open spaces for socializing. Silk and wool carpets that echo the ripples of shifting sand are paired with Amani marble, fur finishes and Lalique glass.
When it came to the art, however, the owner made his own choices, selecting favorite works from contemporary British photographer David Yarrow. “One group of charter guests included a few high-end models who recognized some of their peers in the Yarrow artwork, which they enjoyed,” says Read., include an ex-tennis player and ex-rugby player, which means fitness-themed charters are very much on the menu.
