The 70.6-metre superyacht Talisman C has been listed for sale with Matt Pinckney of Burgess.
She was built in Turkey by Proteksan Turquoise in 2011 with a steel hull and aluminium superstructure and launched as the flagship of the shipyard. Talisman C was the second in the fleet to bear the name and is designed throughout by H2 Yacht Design with engineering and naval architecture by Hydro Tec.
The original owner was looking to upgrade from a 54.2 metre to a larger vessel that could carry more tenders and toys. The result on board the new Talisman C was a full-width aft garage with lift-up clamshell doors and extending overhead cranes that accommodates a 7.7-metre Ski Nautique Super Air for powered sports, a seven-metre Novurania Chase 23 tender and a Narwhal rescue tender.
Accommodation is for 12 guests in six cabins. A split-level master suite sits forward on the main deck and is described by the broker as having a "boudoir décor", with voile curtains around the king-sized bed and crystal chandeliers as bedside reading lights.
The master bathroom has glossy two-tone wood veneers and gold mosaic tiles around its spa bath and shower room. A large walk-in wardrobe and an owner’s private library – which the brokers pointed out could make an adjoining cabin – complete the suite.
Talisman C's VIP cabin is positioned aft of the owner’s suite. The remaining guest cabins are on the lower deck, comprising two twins and two doubles, also with spa baths. Further accommodation sleeps up to 20 members of crew.
Entering the saloon from the main deck aft, curved sliding glass doors lead into a fully-equipped bar area with club seating, then on to a lounge with sofa and armchair seating around a coffee table and, further forward, a formal circular dining table below a chandelier.
A gym and wellness area with massage table and beauty salon are reached via the corridor leading to the VIP and owner’s suites. Spiral stairs wind around an intricate glass sculpture illuminated from a sun deck skylight.
The sky lounge has a seating area and gaming table, and sliding glass doors open onto the aft deck entertainment area. Forward of the upper deck lobby there is a media room. Her sun deck sports a large glass-fronted Jacuzzi forward flanked by sunpads, a bar, day bed and dining beneath the hardtop. There is more al fresco dining, also served by a bar, on the upper deck aft. Sunbeds on the crow's nest observation lounge, protected by glass bulwarks, are just one of her standout features.
Twin 2,447hp Caterpillar diesel engines give the 1,560GT yacht for sale a top speed of 18 knots, a cruising speed of 15 knots and a transatlantic range of 7,000 nautical miles at an "economical speed" of 12 knots. She is Lloyd's classed.
Talisman C is lying in Monaco and asking €55,000,000 with VAT paid.
