Sensation Superyacht
Filed under: Yachts & Sailing
The New Zealand-based Sensation Yachts has just finished up a $60 million superyacht called the "Sensation." This yacht is 50 meters long (164-ft.) with a 9.5-meter beam, four decks and room for 12 full-time crew members. The yacht will sleep at least 10 guests very comfortably, but can accommodate many more for entertaining.
The upper deck features an "enormous saloon," panoramic views, space for a fresco dining and a piano for entertainment. The main deck has a smaller saloon, formal dining room, kitchen and the huge owner's suite, which includes a private office, full bathroom and steam room and more than enough space for a king size bedroom suite. The lower deck has guest cabins, two of which can be combined to convert into a second suite, and the sun deck has a lounge, Jacuzzi, bar and a barbecue. Materials used throughout the ship include onyx, marble, handmade carpeting, opulent silks and carefully made furniture of french oak, cherry and madrona burl. Hand-stitched leather patterns and padding grace the walls.
In terms of power, the yacht has 3000 HP Caterpillar engines and a top speed of 22 knots. It will debut in late January in Auckland before sailing to Dubai for the Dubai International Boat Show.
