In addition to a massive private owner’s deck, eleven other guests staterooms will accommodate twenty-two additional guests in absolute comfort.

69-metre superyacht Spectre built for John Staluppi, with a passion for James Bond, speed and technology

After “Quantum of Solace” and “Diamonds Are Forever”, “Spectre” is the third yacht launched by Benetti for talented New York businessman John Staluppi.

Cassetta.

Newly refitted 52-metre superyacht Falcon is now ready for party

After a detailed refitting process in the new facility of Bilgin Yachts, superyacht Falcon (ex. Sai Ram) was delivered to the Kuwaiti yacht owner in June 2018. The yacht owner started the summer season in Mediterranean on his beautifully renewed yacht.

The 52m megayacht has turned into a party yacht during the refit process. Particularly its sun deck has become an area where the yacht owner can enjoy the gatherings with the friends and family. The deck has been divided into three large areas featuring a large forward sun deck with tables and backrests with a jacuzzi, bar and BBQ. During the refit process, the biggest changes have been made in this area. The current jacuzzi has been replaced with a new one surrounded by glass walls. All the systems have been upgraded. A new dayhead has been placed next to the jacuzzi. Compared to the previous three stable seating areas and tables, now the deck has new tables that will have the functionally of going up and down. Kuwaiti yacht owner preferred to have glowing fabric on the seating areas which would definitely enliven the atmosphere during night. Additionally, bar area has been rebuilt with more lights. New speakers, lasers, steam units and a DJ cabin are added to turn the sun deck into a complete private night club.
