The megayacht is 80 meters in length and it is among the biggest megayachts of its type designed by Laura Sessa, Paola Zuccon and Giovanni. The yacht cost US$110 million to build and more than 660,000 hours before it was completed, the displacement hull is made from steel and aluminium.

The head of Zuccon International Project, Gianni Zuccon said "We met the client, who we knew was looking for a big yacht, and presented him the project of a yacht of around 250 feet (72 m) with all the features we thought might meet his wishes both in size and style. The primary criterion of the brief was that he wanted it to be a private yacht on which to spend long holidays with his large family. We found out soon that they needed more space – that meant more volume. So, working on the original concept, we incorporated higher volume and added a few meters to the total length to preserve a well-proportioned balance between hull and superstructure."
