A+ yacht interior
The A+ was designed by U.K.-based design company Terence Disdale Design. She can accommodate 52 guests in 26 luxurious staterooms, with 79 crew members in 40 cabins.
She has a fully equipped gym with the latest in sports technology, two Jacuzzi, a movie theatre, and a conference room. There are several dining areas inside and out.
She has an oversized tender garage that offers a wide choice of water toys such as jet skis, a catamaran, inflatable boats, and a mini-submarine. The tender can be accessed from both sides of the yacht.
There is not much known about the decor style, likely because a member of the Royal Family owns her, but Terence Disdale Design did release that they were briefed with an informal “beach house” decor style.
Exterior
Tim Heywood Designs designed the impressive A+ Yacht. The A+ Yacht was built with a teak deck, a steel hull, and an aluminum superstructure. She was built by the German shipyard Lürssen in 2012.
Her exterior is bedecked in an impressive light display that magnificently illuminates the A+ Yacht at night.
Two elevators connect all eight decks, giving access to the two helipads and the swimming platforms.
