FELIX yacht interior
The interior of FELIX was designed by François Zuretti, who began designing yachts in 1975 with Triad Condos.
With over 40 years of experience in the industry, it comes as no surprise that François Zuretti is a very well-known name in the yachting industry.
François Zuretti has also been involved in several notable yacht designs, such as the Scheherazade Yacht, a 140-meter superyacht, listed as the 14th largest yacht globally.
Another yacht by François Zuretti is SYMPHONY, a 101.5-meter superyacht capable of carrying up to 20 guests at a time and can be accommodated by 38 qualified crew members in 16 spacious cabins.
Aboard the FELIX yacht, guests are greeted with a stainless steel and glass elevator, a gym, work-out-related types of equipment, an owner’s deck, a 14-person cinema, full air-conditioning, Wifi signal, and zero-speed stabilizers to keep guests safe and steady when traveling the rough seas.
