FLYING FOX

The exquisitely designed Flying Fox was built with entertainment in mind – and for plenty of guests. The superyacht is the largest ever available for charter, PYC-compliant and big enough to welcome 36 guests in cruising mode, with a dynamic positioning system that ensures comfortable sailing.

The Mark Berryman-designed interiors exude modern luxury. There’s an impressive two-floor main salon, a 400sqm spa with cryotherapy, and each cabin has its own sea-facing private terrace. The exterior was imagined by award-winning Espen Øino, – the dove grey hull stands out against the water, and at 136 metres in length there’s enough space for luxurious amenities. A 12-metre swimming pool runs along the main deck, plus there’s a cinema with D-Box seats and Dolby Aqua sound system, beauty centre, gym and Jacuzzi. Sports addicts will feel right at home with access to the finest diving materials at the yacht’s own dive centre and a range of water toys, including jet skis, seabobs and the exclusive Zapata flyboard and hoverboard.
