It was really cloudy and damp this morning and poor Huw had to go to Nice for his French lesson. I was amazed that the tourist boat did its rounds with a few tourists aboard.

Her restyled beach club measures 15x8m (49.2x26.3ft) and has fold-down sea terraces either side and an extended swim platform with hydraulic bathing steps aft.

A private owner’s deck has a bedroom forward with wraparound views and access to walkaround side-decks and the foredeck. There are his-and-hers bathrooms and dressing rooms, and both the lounge and study have access to balconies. The saloon also has a bar and a dining room with access to the aft terrace.

Up on the sun deck there is a raised jacuzzi flanked by sun-pads and beneath the hardtop there is a sit-up wet bar, day head and a good selection of gym equipment. The main deck is home to the yacht’s dedicated cinema and seven of the yacht’s guest suites, four of which can combine to create two VIP sites. All of the aft deck spaces on main to bridge decks have glass windbreak panels for guest comfort.

Twin 3,000hp Caterpillar diesel engines give her a top speed of 16 knots, she cruises at 13.5 knots and has a remarkable range of 10,000nm at her economical speed. Quantum zero speed stabilisers ensure comfort on arrival.

The lower deck garage, with shell doors either side, is home to two custom Yachtwerft Meyer tenders, a 10.5m (34.5ft) limo and a 9.2m (30.2ft) D-Rib, and a 7m (23ft) Super Air Nautique G23. There’s also a selection of water-toys including SeaDoos, SeaBobs and an inflatable marina and waterslide.
