First a 50 foot model was introduced, followed by a 43 and now a 55 footer has just been launched. This newest Sense exhibits all of the attributes of the previous models in the Sense range; Open communication and movement between the salon and cockpit, easy access to the sea and exceptional accommodations in every living area, all in a style that has universal appeal.

- The ample benefits - an oversized, separate shower; numerous practical stowage spaces; expansive floor area etc.
Welcoming visitors on board takes place in equally luxurious surroundings: 2 double VIP cabins entered through large pocket doors, front and side access to the berth and each of the guest cabins has its own ensuite head compartment. Other key features of this new yacht: the choice of finishes.
