BLISS is a magnificent sailing yacht, meticulously crafted by Yachting Developments in New Zealand, she is the largest composite Dubois Yacht to have been delivered to date. Designed as a performance World Cruising Yacht, she has proven herself as the ideal Yacht for global exploration, equipped with reliable systems for shorthanded sailing. She is perfectly set up for long- distance passages. Uniquely maintained under the same ownership since her commissioning, BLISS boasts a Captain with over 12 years of dedicated service. This winter, she underwent a comprehensive refit with redelivery in May 2024. Total investment in the refit and upgrade was in the region of two-million-euros. This ensures BLISS remains in peak condition with no major servicing reuired for the foreseeable future. For discerning buyers, BLISS offers unmatched reliability and exceptional value.
Step aboard BLISS and enter a world of refined elegance and comfort. The interior exudes sophistication, with a large main salon that invites relaxation and socialising. On the portside, a U-shaped sofa surrounds a dining table with breathtaking panoramic sea views, perfect for intimate meals or lively conversations. To starboard, an L-shaped sofa offers another cozy spot to unwind. BLISS features a substantial galley with bar stools, perfect for intimate culinary experiences.
Explore BLISS's luxurious below-deck accommodations, highlighted by the full-beam master cabin with an en-suite bathroom for ultimate privacy. Two additional guest cabins ensure everyone onboard enjoys a restful night's sleep in style. From the chic main salon to the serene master cabin, BLISS promises indulgent tranquility on the high seas. Bliss features a contemporary interior designed by Design Unlimited, employing high-gloss finishes and a bold colour palette for a modern atmosphere. The three guest cabins provide an inviting retreat, with luxurious touches that enhance comfort without overwhelming opulence.
BLISS features a spacious covered center cockpit, providing protection from the elements and a secure, relaxing environment for the owner and guests. Ample seating for up to ten guests is positioned on both port and starboard sides, with a central walkway ensuring seamless service by the dedicated crew. Hidden speakers enhance the atmosphere, perfect for alfresco dining or entertaining after a day on the water. Forward, the recessed deck maintains a low profile when the tender is stowed, preserving the yacht's sleek hull lines.
The Naval Architect has ingeniously incorporated a pool in the bow section, creating an ideal spot for relaxation while anchored, whether enjoying a cocktail or a refreshing pressed juice. Boarding BLISS dockside is effortless with the secure passerelle that recesses into the transom, appealing to guests preferring a stable gangway.
