Built in carbon fibre-reinforced GRP by Japanese yard Nishii-Zosen to a design by Jon Bannenberg and launched in 1986 as one of the yard’s Sterling superyachts, Matrix Rose was refitted in 2008, 2010 and 2016, receiving over 400 improvements.

Aft in the main saloon to port, stairs lead to the upper dining, lounge and gym decks. Past the atrium, on the covered upper deck aft, is an al fresco seating and dining area for up to 20 guests. Her Pininfarina interior exudes luxury with her cream carpets, designer fabrics and dark wood furnishings.
During her most recent refit, in 2016, she received new engines and generators while special features include a hydraulically operated custom beach club complete with diving board and she is helicopter capable.
