Simply Abu Dhabi XXXV

By far the most exciting Pride Mega Yachts project to date, Illusion Plus hugely benefits from the yard’s collaboration with world-class consultants and designers. A combination between performance and comfort, she offers long range world cruising (with an impressive cruising range of 5,000NM). Uniting pure luxury with a sense of adventure, she features a dedicated spa, beauty salon, gymnasium, two jacuzzi pools (one with a waterfall feature) and a touch-and-go helipad. Designed to enhance onboard experiences, Illusion Plus displays innovative design and yacht construction expertise, but it is her contemporary luxury interior and an unparalleled sense of space that caught the eye of the judges at Monaco Yacht Show 2018. Recognised for the “beauty, comfort and functionality of the exceptional interior”, Illusion Plus scooped the coveted Best Interior Design Award. An elevator connects four of the yacht’s six decks. The main deck saloon features a spacious double-height atrium illuminated by floor- to-ceiling windows with a mezzanine that allows the interior to be opened up. Comfortable seating and a cinema screen add to the light and airy ambience. Designed by Sinot Exclusive Yacht Design and outfitted by Greenline Yacht Interiors of Dubai, the areas comprise an 80sqm owner’s suite with his and hers bathrooms, private deck and office, two VIP suites, two doubles, one twin and two double cabins that convert to lounges. All guest cabins include television screens and en suite bathroom facilities, and the positioning of the guest accommodation on the upper and main decks allows for maximum natural light. A further fifteen cabins sleep up to 25 crew. Other key features include four guest lounges and two interior dining areas, a dedicated spa with a sauna, steam room and massage room and a vast lower deck tender garage to house no less than three custom tenders (including a 9.5m Cockwells Limousine), not to mention a lower deck ocean lounge with a bar. A high-quality integrated entertainment, lighting and blinds system is fitted throughout the vessel. Built to impress, designed for living, the 88.5m yacht signals a new era for the bold Chinese shipyard. She remains for sale through Y.CO.
