Evolution

Our vision for this yacht is to give our clients the feeling of going on board a vessel that brings back memories of travels to far away and exotic lands.

She looks as boats did in the 1920's but brings a level of comfort and safety of 2006.  She is a 192 ft /58 m. L.O.A. Cruise Ship that accommodates up to 32 passengers in 18 cabins, twin or double and 3 suites.
