The yacht yard just launched their flagship powerboat called "Solle One", a 23.2-meter from the Swan Arrow power division. That yacht will be making its debut at next month's Cannes Yachting Festival...

Nemo/Neptune Lounges; Glass-bottomed Underwater Views
Glass application has been advancing and permitting use in areas that normally would not have seen its installation.
