The expedition superyacht named M has already been delivered to her owner

Just like the previously launched 500Exp units, she features the exterior by Francesco Paszkowski Design, while the interiors with a volume of 499 GT were entrusted to British Studio Indigo that has created the atmosphere of a luxury country house on board, which is not quite typical of expedition yachts.

In addition to nine crew members that can be accommodated in their quarters, the explorer yacht offers five cabins for up to 10 guests. The master suite is located on the main deck forward, while four more cabins are located below deck.
