The Dolce Vista Suites:
These come with double private balconies with frontal sea-view. Some of them have a "Lovers" soul created for couples who want to have an out of the ordinary love nest. The suite comes with a corian tub placed in the center of the suite.

Pureness that gives you pleasant sensations. A private place to spend time with your family or to concentrate for your next business meeting.

H2ome Yacht Has A Sleek Profile, Modern Interiors & a $20 Million Asking Price.





The H2ome Yachting Villa is a 44 meter long luxurious yacht with a large open back three level deck. It's designed and furnished with stylish modern interior accomodations for guests and crew, a state of the art kitchen, stunning bathrooms, a living room and dining room divided by a 'plant wall' and teak flooring throughout.







The exterior of the sexy and sleek luxury yacht has teak wood decks contrasting with the yacht's glossy reflective finish.





The concept of H2OME was born during a long conversation between the owner of an Open 35m yacht and Mario Grasso, the owner of the Italian naval design studio Navirex. In addition to engineering, Mario Grasso, guided by the owner's taste, designed the hull and superstructure. As for the interior, it was a design collaboration between Genovese Studio A-LAB and actress/ interior designer Raffaella Berge.



The entrance is in the large main hall, designed as an open loft and includes the living area, dining room (70 sqm) and steering in one connected space. The plentiful windows create a continuum between the inside and the marine environment, filtering in the natural light. The decor inside is characterized by clean geometric lines and balances perfectly with the plant wall, the focal point of the living area. The teak flooring strips helps to create an exotic atmosphere.





In the sleeping area of the lower deck are the owner's suite and four guest cabins which total 100 square meters. Each room has a sophisticated lighting system, which runs along the ceilings, walls and furniture, creating striking effects of lightness and elegance.







The beautiful bathrooms have glass walled showers and modern fixtures :




Forward on the starboard side are the large kitchen and left the laundry room, both accessible from the crew accommodations.



The outside areas consist of a beach (15 m), a well of 50 square meters and a Sun Deck (60 sqm). And the latter is endowed with a square dining area, bar, and lots of sun exposure.






Thanks to twin 1,925hp Caterpillar diesel engines and one Vericor gas turbine the yacht can reach a top speed of 36 knots. H2ome cruises at 17 knots (with the gas turbine engine off).


H2ome Yachting Villa

If you're interested in purchasing one, Fraser Yachts has listed her at an asking price of just under 20 million dollars. $19,910,781 (€14,500,000)
