Superyacht BIG FISH Launched in New Zealand

Written by Mike Smith

McMullen & Wing proudly announce the launch of their latest new build explorer yacht BIG FISH. The mega yacht was moved from her construction shed over the previous weekend and positioned on the slipway and she touched the water shortly after 8am. Over the next 3 weeks the hardtop of yacht BIG FISH and her mast will be fitted, with the hand over to the owner in May.

Superyacht BIG FISH is Launched

The striking contemporary design of yacht BIG FISH is from Gregory C. Marshall Naval Architects. She is a 45m large volume steel and aluminum motor yacht that exemplifies the highest standards of design, construction, fuel-efficiency, safety and comfort.

Yacht BIG FISH

Yacht BIG FISH was built ruggedly to ocean-going specifications, the full-displacement steel hull, and aluminum superstructure vessel is capable of a 10,000-mile range and three full months of independent cruising.

Big Fish is a bold and edgy long range expedition yacht; strong lines and streamlined surfaces coupled with her plum bow and make her highly efficient.

An abundance of glass meets you on every deck, dramatically different tender storage in a unique covered bow “hold”, fold-out beaches and stone decks all contribute to the array of innovative design features making this yacht a stand-out vessel in her size range.
