Marco Polo Yacht
Filed under: Water
The Marco Polo yacht shown here is part of a series of explorer yachts by Hong Kong based Cheoy Lee. The yacht is designed to be taken all around the world. The 147-foot yacht, created by Ron Holland design saves 35% in fuel consumption by using a single engine configuration. It also has a forward Schottel azimuth thruster that can control the vessel head to wind in 20 knots plus wind speeds and rough sea conditions and can get the ship to shore if the engine fails. The yacht holds ten crew and eight passengers. This first Marco Polo yacht has a gorgeous interior with an East-meets-West style that is very high drama. The saloon features beautiful Macassar ebony with contrasting walnut and limed oak and large windows. The owner's stateroom is equally dramatic with more Macassar ebony and lighter wardrobe doors with red and gold accents for a contrasting effect. The guest suites are a bit more tame with a more traditional beige look. The owner's suite is on the upper deck and the entire upper deck aft of the wheelhouse is the owner's private area with day spaces for lounging and a private deck. The lower deck offers a VIP stateroom, two large guest staterooms, and a gym and the main deck has a library and lounge area. She is for sale through Ocean Independence for an undisclosed price.
