The yacht was used to represent the yard at various boat shows (Croatia, Greece, Turkey) and numerous V.I.P. presentations. She was intensely used by the chairman, his family and, sometimes, left at disposal of business relations.
Navigation from Red Sea (Hurgada, El Gouna) to Western & Eastern Mediterranean (France, Italy, Croatia, Montenegro, Greece, Crete, Turkey, Egypt), including 2 Suez Canal crossings.
After having adapted the procedures and documentation as on previous yacht, several new elements were created such as a brief and graphical “Boat Status Report” or a “Ship Standard Operation Manual” describing, and standardizing, all duties onboard, easing operations and service, dramatically shortening the time required for new or temporary crew to become fully operational.
At all time the yacht had to be in irreproachable order almost without notice and the highest guest service was also required.
