Nearly 50 appointments with potential clients had been scheduled even before the show opened for the brand, which has launched 100 yachts over 24 m since 2004.
The V70 clearly focuses on volume and comfort. The main deck is extensively glazed and topped by an immense flybridge protected by a hardtop, while the large aft platforms and swim platform prioritize access to the sea. The builder also emphasizes extensive customization, with its own teams handling naval architecture, engineering, construction and systems integration.
