The Dutch city of Monnickendam witnessed a majestic launch over the weekend as 61m (200ft) Project Asia launched at the esteemed Hakvoort Shipyard, signaling the final outfitting stages before she sets sail to embrace the warmth of sunnier seas in the Mediterranean in the next few months.

Sporting premium levels of luxury and exceptional performance, Project Asia can embark on indulgent voyages of nearly 4,000 nautical miles, making her the perfect choice for long-distance adventures or extended cruises around yacht charter destination favorites like Croatia and the Balearics. Flying the American flag, she was last seen in May 2021 when she made her journey to Royal Hakvoort from the builder's subcontractor for hull and superstructure fabrication.

Also recognized by her build number YN253, motor yacht Project Asia stands as a marvel of modern engineering boasting luxurious accommodations for up to 16 guests, complete with an exclusive owner's suite situated on its own dedicated deck. This private sanctuary features a study, his and hers bathrooms, and sweeping views from the forward-facing windows. Additionally, the yacht hosts an impressive VIP cabin that spans the full width of the main deck, measuring a generous 11.6m (38ft) in width.

Under the meticulous guidance of Sinot Yacht Architecture & Design, Project Asia has an ambiance that reflects the personal taste and style of her owners. Though the finer details of the interior designs remain under wraps at this time, the superyacht's social-centric spirit is undeniable.

Among its many lavish amenities, the sundeck is the crowning glory with a sparkling pool, ample space for large sunpads, and a convivial bar area. The skylounge looks set to continue the elevated social space seen around the exteriors with its own bar setup. Below deck, tranquility reigns with indulgent spaces such as a massage room and a hammam, all conveniently located near the spacious beach club.
