Spanning six decks, the 77.4 metre yacht called Aqua Lares can carry 30 passengers across 12 design suites and three twin cabins. Suites range from 13 to 66 square metres, including three Owner’s Suites. 


The line revealed that with a gross tonnage of 2,400, Aqua Lares has the highest gross tonnage-to-guest ratio in the fleet. 


The yacht will have five tenders - three 6.5-metre Zodiacs and two 8.5-metre Rafnar Tenders – and paddle boards, kayaks, snorkelling and diving gear and mountain bikes.
