Her interesting features include a panoramic owner's saloon with full length picture windows, a large open plan sundeck with jacuzzi and a sizeable beach club.

This is the first collaboration between Andrew Winch Designs and CRN Ancona - and everyone is keen to "raise the bar" according to Burgess.

90m Nero Sold

The magnificent 90m (295ft) "NERO" has been sold by Burgess as central agents in collaboration with bluewater who represented the buyer.

Some of her onboard features include a gym, jacuzzi, a 5 meter pool on the foredeck and a large 18ft side hatch that,s used as a beach club. Who knows what changes will be made and new features added with her new owner.
