I couldn't disagree more. Most of the time I've spent on large yachts (I am not saying you haven't just speaking of my experience) people spent most of the time aft of the yacht especially during the day, and this was on yachts that actually had open aft arrangements etc. The ones that didn't have open aft arrangements time was spent on the sundeck and walk 2 decks down to take a swim etc. Dining was usually alfresco on shaded 2nd deck. Notice how many recent yacht launches are dedicating so much space for usage of the aft area. I've been on a boat where the forward jacuzzi near the bow was used only twice in 2 years. Obviously every custom made boat is made for a specific owner and his/her needs, but owners and managers of successful charter boats seem to agree.

Her owner is Celerius Management Partnership. They hired the French designer Joseph Dirand for the Celerius project

Such a big girl with hardly any wake!

I feels to me like an amalgam of 21st century super-yacht with 1920 commuter yacht. If that classic aesthetic was the goal of the owner, then I'd say they are probably quite happy with the end result.

Though maybe one didn't scale up well to the other, in the eyes of some? But hey, we're not the ones that signed on the dotted line.

Then again,, when your on the inside,, looking out,, what others may think about her looks,, just doesn't matter.

This yacht and this thread about the yacht might be solid proof that beauty is in the eye of the beholder... Never fails.
I look at it and see the most elegant gorgeous designs of the recent years, and some people have such negative thoughts about it. Hopefully the owner and his family likes it
