DA VINCI, a Mangusta 165E Superyacht, was built in 2017 by Overmaine. Her stunning style makes her an obvious choice for Best Interior Design, Motor Yachts 400GT to 999GT. From her spacious and sophisticated entertainment areas enhanced by large windows and elegant materials, including bleached oak floors and beautiful marbles, to any of the yachts exceptionally well-laid-out and perfectly tailored staterooms, the interior of DA VINCI is well suited for a variety of different guests, all of whom are sure to fall in love as soon as they step aboard. The bar in the main salon is particularly special. It offers a retractable, lit liquor and spirits display that pops during evening entertainment. During the day, it can be put away to create a more home-like atmosphere, unless, of course, you’re hosting a daytime soiree. The main salon is perfect for entertaining of any type from relaxed evenings with family and friends to over-the-top parties, during which the main salon offers a private night-club vibe.
DA VINCI is available for charter with Northrop & Johnson. For more information, contact your preferred Northrop & Johnson charter broker or email PR@NorthropandJohnson.com.
