The interior has a tropical and informal feel and Mark Tucker, creative director at Design Unlimited, described her as "joyful and uplifting. Her extraordinary design stems from the owner's spirit and passion for adventure."

Accommodation comprises four guest cabins, each with its own ocean-themed feature wall adorned with wallpapers, and an upper deck dedicated to the owner. There is bamboo detailing and organic woven fibres complement reclaimed timbers.

A 10-tonne crane allows the deployment of watertoys from their position on the lower aft deck, which then transforms into a beach club. A Jacuzzi is hidden beneath the sunpads on the bow and there is a crow's nest for guests or crew to look out from and call "land ahoy!"
