The exterior of superyacht DRAGON makes a dramatic first impression with the deep fold-down swim platform opening up to the beach club while two staircases sweep up to the massive main deck aft. Here, a sunbed covers the aft and plush C-shaped sofas face inwards around coffee tables.

A staircase to starboard leads up to the upper deck which can be a private space useable only by the occupants of the Master suite located on this level. Sun loungers cover the stern and there is space for an alfresco dining table, while the foredeck comes with a helideck and has more private seating for guests to sit and marvel at the surroundings.

The sundeck is accessible via a lift (elevator) and boasts chaise-loungers along with the bow and a 7m/22.9ft swimming pool to the stern. A blade waterfall separates the whirlpool from the main pool for privacy and serenity while remaining close to the social scene.
