The 61 metre Diamonds Are Forever was launched earlier this week at the Benetti Shipyard in Livorno.
The Bond title of her name identifies the superyacht with the serial superyacht owner John Staluppi whose yachts are always named thus.
Once the final stages of fitting out are complete Diamonds Are Forever will head for the Caribbean where she hopes to begin chartering in December with Ocean Independence acting as Central Agents
She features an Evan K Marshall interior. The design synergy created through the longstanding owner designer relationship with Mr Staluppi has resulted in a well thought out layout and sophisticated styling focusing on a full service guest concept for the charter market.
Accommodation comprises of two panoramic master suites and four guest staterooms. a guest elevator to all decks, a full beam sky lounge and vast open and shaded deck spaces.
Of particular note is the additional top deck located above the sun deck, which forms a very private, panoramic deck, which is also served by the central elevator.
The aft part of the sun-deck also allows easy touch and go helicopter operations.
