She was built on speculation in Yalova with a steel hull and aluminium superstructure with exterior styling and naval architecture by Unique Yacht Design, and a layout similar to the 80m/262ft BILGIN 263, luxury yacht TATIANA. The interiors have yet to be decided and are awaiting an Owner to make their mark.

The sky lounge comes with a wet bar, while the main salon has a 16-person dining table as its focal point. Other notable features include the 50m2/538ft2 lower deck beach club, sauna and gym.

The accommodation layout currently consists of 7 en-suite cabins (1 Master suite on the upper deck and 2 VIP staterooms on the main deck, and 4 further guest cabins on the lower deck), however, this can be modified to be anywhere between five and nine. The Owner has a dedicated space on the upper deck providing a generous full-beam bedroom with his-and-hers en-suite bathrooms, a dressing room and office, plus a private outdoor area with Jacuzzi.
