12 guests, 7 crew
SEALYON is
the first superyacht launced from the Viareggio Superyachts and is the latest
yacht from Candy & Candy. She was delivered in 2009 with the accolade of
being the first hull to receive the RINA Green Plus certification. As
sophisticated as you might expect, she boasts a contemporary classic styling
incorporating elements seamlessly arranged to combine 21st century chic with
1930s glamour.
The main saloon is a sophisticaed and formal area where dark and light compete
– the key elements of macassar ebony, black lacquer, black jet beading and
dark stained oak flooring being contrasted by an off-white deckhead, a
silvery-white long-piled art silt carpet and upholstery in shades of taupe and
metallic silver, all moderated by the warm tones of leather wall panelling. All
this embellished with an eclectic collection of ornaments, artworks and glass
assembled by the Candy & Candy designers. Almond gold and Perspex also have
their place, the former plating the many fittings and dividing strips, and the
latter particualry noticeable in the Schimmel grand piano with a totally
transparent case that stands by the glass doors from the deck.
The dining room is beyond the floor-to-ceiling black lacquered divides
separating the main saloon and dinning room is located the elegant macassar
ebony-topped table seating 12 guests. Art takes various forms from the bronze
sculptures by American artist Frédéric Barnley to the “sea anemone”
chandelier above the table and the intriguing “whirlpool whorls” mural by
Based Upon that decorates the forward bulkhead. The whole table top can be
lifted and reversed to reveal a baize-covered French roulette table.
Accommodation: Forward of the main salon, a photo-art lined passage,
exotically floored in luxurious black and gold nero portoro marble, leads to the
VIP cabin and the owner’s suite, passing a well-equipped gymnasium whose
laminated glass wall is inlaid with silk thread to provide privacy for those
inside while flooding the passage with light.
Master Cabin is located in the forward section of the yacht are raised by half a
floor, providing extraordinary views. The master bedroom enjoys an enviable
180-degree panorama over the bows through reflectionless vertical windows. Aft
of the bed on the port side is the magnificent bathroom with separate shower and
bath tastefully decorated in grey-veined grigio carnico marble. A door leads
onward from the bathroom into an elegant dressing room. The wardrobes are
beautifully fitted to the highest standards, while a full lenght mirror hides a
video camera that, on command, replays a picture of one’s back view on a
digital screen hidden behind the mirror. Despite there not being an office in
the master suite, a fully equipped study is located on the upper deck just aft
of the bridge making it accessible to guests without intruding on the master
suite.
The VIP is magnificent incoporating the richest elements of the yacht’s
decorative palette, and provided with every possible amenity, from walk-in
wardrobe to dressing table, extensive show locker and an exquisite
marble-trimmed ensuite bathroom.
Four further guest cabins found on the lower deck are all decorated to the same
standard as the VIP but with slight chromatic twists. Two are doubles, while the
two twins are easily convered into doubles by folding the central side table
into the wall, sliding the beds together and unfolding a replacement side table
from the wall, where it had previously been concealed by the bed.
The aft area of the upper deck offers a formal outside dining area featuring a
round table with an elegant carbon-fibre top seating 12 guests. Sheltered from
the elements by the superstructure and the bridge deck overhang, this is perfect
dinner party setting with its elegant seating along the aft rail for pre-dinner
cocktails, and stylish interior of the adjacent deck saloon with its vast
U-shaped sofa facing a large television screen ideal for post-dinner
entertainment. An instant service is available from the adjacent pantry.
The lobby is distinctive for its grey buffalo hide floor and hare wood paneling.
Additionally, the glass lift shaft picks up the theme of industrial-chic, not
only by displaying its intricate workings but also with stainless steel-edged
glass windows on every floor that allow light to flood in from the sun deck.
Hi-tech motion sensors on each landing automatically grey-out the glass to
preserve the modesty of guests walking over them on upper floors.
By any standards, the sun deck is an incredible space that extends to nearly 50%
of the yacht’s entire length. The forward part of the deck offers a spa pool
and sunbathing mattresses protected by a low glass windbreak. The bar is
centrally positioned beneath the arch mast to maintain a sense of unity between
the forward and aft portions of the deck. Wide passages either side of the bar
can be closed off with glass doors to reduce a strong through-breeze. Opposit
from the bar is located the 12 seater dining table luxurioulsy topped with an
exotic baobad marble veneer with retractable awning. The dining table can also
be lowered to serve as a coffee table or sunbed. A service lift linking this
deck with the main deck galley carrying a stewardess and trolley can easily
ensure an excellent service. Aft of the deck is the circular sun bed that
automatically tracks the sun despite the movements of the yacht while at the
press of a button sun worshippers can be swathed in a cooling water mist.
The aft portion of the main deck is linked to the bathing platform with a pair
of stairways that are only accessible when the platform is hinged down from the
otherwise closed transom, a design that ensures a degree of protection from
uwelcome visitors. A door opens forward from the platform, past a convenient
head and shower, to give access to the two tender bays. The one on the starboard
side carries two jet-skis launced through a shell door that hinges down to
create a boarding platform and a handy place to prepare the diving gear that is
also stowed in the compartment. To port is a larger garage in which the
yacht’s main tender is stored.
