so
this is m/y Victorious
she is a brand new 85 meter or 278 foot super yacht from Aka Yachting
she debuted at the 2021 Monaco Yacht Show as you can see from the footage i shot at the show -
this vessel is full of contradictions she's a brand new vessel but she's also 14 years old
she's traveled 37,000 nautical miles without ever turning an engine
she started the build as a 77 meter and ended as an 85 meter
-she changed hands twice and traveled to 2 different continents before completion
so let's go back 14 years to South America and Santiago in Chile where the yacht builders Marco
Yachts started to build a 77 meter superyacht with the project name gin and tonic 2 also known as
whole number U77 however before completion the shipyard ran into financial trouble
and the bill stalled so fast forward to 2011 and Kiwi businessman and as we know now serial yacht
builder Graham Hart purchased the project and transported it in a hundred containers
once again however even before completion Mr. Harth had even larger grand designs and began
eyeing up a new build which later became known as Clever Marine built 107 meter superyacht Ulysses
so once again this project found itself partially completed but now a game without an owner
fast forward to 2016 and the stall project was acquired by new interests however the new owner
was having trouble finding a shipyard to take on this difficult task of completing someone else's
vision so as only maybe a billionaire might do he decided to open his own shipyard a chaots and to
finish the project himself again the project found itself being shipped thousands of miles to a new
yard this time to Turkey -once more the project was renamed this time to project Victorious - the
new owner wanted to extend the vessel to fit a helicopter landing pad at the bow section
and the swimming pool at the stern so the vessel was extended 6 meters
and the gross tonnage increased to 2,300 gross tons -the new owner Turkish businessman Voral AK
also decided he wanted to change the design for the interior so he approached H2 yacht designs
a company which coincidentally was designing the interior for Graham Hart's yacht Ulysses
-he'd initially approached H2 to take on the project but they were still busy finishing
Ulysses but after a few years once the project was completed they did end up finishing this vessel so
even after Graham Hart solar vessel there was still a connection so finally after 14 years
motor yacht Victorious was just that prepared for the charter market the interior is a more neutral
design with warm wards and modern looks and nothing too personalised but of course absolute
supreme quality - she sleeps up to 20 guests in 11 cabins with a crew of 21 to take care of them
on main deck there is a 10-seat soundproof cinema and the vessel also has a contraflow
freshwater or saltwater swimming pool three fold down terraces a observation lounge
a 200 square meter beach club with a spa a sauna hammam beauty salon and gym
quite an amazing yacht all right guys stay tuned to the channel because in a future

as you can see here are almost like an aerial view of the actual vessel they're so detailed so
