VERSILCRAFT PLANET 120' HARD TOP

The latest edition of the Viareggio based Yard proposes an interesting "Long Range" system which allows the boat to plane away at 28 knots by virtue of its three Cat C32s or alternatively to cruise at 13 knots with the centrally mounted engine alone. This translates into a cruising range of 900 nautical miles at standard speeds against one of 1.400 sea miles using the "Long Range" option. The interior design produced in conjunction with the Studio Neri offers another peculiarity by making great use of chrome and unusual materials; the result is an essential but pleasantly elegant low key look purveying comfort and warmth to every available space. The layout below deck provides for a Master stateroom running full beam, comprising as well as the centrally placed double bed, also a 'study' space, a sofa, a wardrobe of generous proportions and a spacious bathroom complete with a hydro-massage. Moving forward we come to a twin guest cabin with en- suite bathroom plus a further two large 'VIP' cabins lying opposite. The crew quarters in the bows sleep three. The main deck's layout moving from bow to stern, provides a living-in galley fitted with all the latest equipment, a mess area, a bar and saloon. This last spacious room includes a large C shaped sofa, arm chairs, tables and an impressive home entertainment cabinet. The outer areas on the same deck offer tables and seating areas in the cockpit and large deck pads for the pleasures of sun bathing lie aft. The Yard has opted for a Hard Top solution for the top deck giving the aft area a superstructure accessed through sliding doors and a completely open stern area. The enclosed space described above, hosts the only bridge on board which is fitted with a saloon area with sofas and coffee table behind it. The outer extension to the top deck provides a Jacuzzi and sun bathing space. Three tenders can be used for short trips: two water-crafts kept on the main deck aft, and an inflatable stowed in the hanger a-stern.
