The yacht is considered to be the most luxurious and comfortable vessel in the southeastern Pacific Ocean. Sustained conservative style, rigor, solidity and confidence in their superiority, although somewhat shaken by the latest democratic trends - all this is fully embodied in the "ministerial" suite.

Chamber refinement of a semicircular dining room with a table made of wood, black and red Chinese porcelain condescendingly adjoins to a more democratic saloon on the upper deck, similar to a stylish ivory snuff box. The smoking room is designed in the respectable tradition of the English club. At the bar - high, upholstered in thick pigskin leather chairs. The horseshoe steps lead to the upper deck, where there is a hydromassage pool and soft sofas for sunbathing at the stern ...
