Motor yacht, 55 metres
Solstice
A 55-metre explorer that goes where the fleet does not: the Maldives in February, the Seychelles in April, the Adriatic in September, with twelve crew and a submarine on request.
Solstice was built to cross oceans and does. Her range of five thousand miles means the Indian Ocean in winter and the Mediterranean in summer without a delivery crew, and her twelve crew include a spa therapist, a personal trainer and a divemaster as well as the usual complement.
Six cabins take twelve, an elevator joins four decks, and the toy garage holds two tenders, a sailing dinghy, jet skis, a seabob fleet and, with notice, a two-person submarine. She is the boat for a family that wants to see the atolls of the Maldives from underneath.
