The superyacht demonstrates that basketball court is just the tip of the iceberg with this entertainer’s paradise. For those who appreciate excellence, the 312-footer is home to a massive space on the aft deck, and a sports bar, which doubles as an outdoor cinema. The beach club, meanwhile, can act as a second cinema spot or a nightclub. Alfresco dining can be enjoyed across four decks (with six decks total), and the sun deck has a nearly 40-foot mosaic-lined swimming pool, sat alongside a Jacuzzi. Inside, there’s an ornate staircase situated between two video walls that leads to the superyacht’s custom piano. In addition to a working fireplace, there’s also a grand dining space for 18 guests and an elevator. On the main deck six guest cabins reside, while the upper deck is home to the impressive owner’s suite. That space has its own Jacuzzi as well as an outdoor bed prepped and ready for stargazing.
