She has been professionally maintained since delivery by her owners, Captains. Loaded with options and is a really nice turn-key motor yacht, all ready for her next assignment. I have been on board, and this is one of the best-designed 55s on the market today. She was built for having fun underway and on anchor. Lots of open room for entertaining and exploring the oceans.
