This yacht has a long history: it was built in 2008 as a cruise tourist boat, but after a few years it changed its owner and now belongs to industrialist George Jay Prokopi. Greek billionaire invited architect Nicholas Dendrinos and designers from Milan Ciarmoli Queda Studio to remake the boat to fit his needs.

The yacht can take on board about fifty people, and the scale of the work was comparable to the design of a large mansion - adjusted for the difficulties caused by the yacht specifics. Numerous narrow corridors became one of the problems, and photographs of Versailles by Briton Robert Polidori helped the designers to solve this problem: having seen pictures of palace interiors, they made transit zones deliberately luxurious (leather, fabrics and wooden panels were used), and therefore not boring.

Simone Charmoli and Miguel Cueda committed the best Italian brands to design living rooms: for example, fabrics were supplied by Rubelli and Loro Piana, upholstered furniture was ordered from Flexform and De Padova, and Annibale Colombo decided to make numerous tables and tables made of marble and leather for the yacht.

Part of the furniture had to be adapted to the marine specificity, and many things were done purposefully for a project according to the sketches of Ciarmoli Queda Studio. For example, the Nisiro dressing table, chairs, the Illios dining table (both names are Greek toponyms) and the teak chair (he does not have a name, but there is a blue-and-white marine upholstery), which have now become part of the Annibale Colombo permanent collection.
