IGUAZU is a 77’ (23.5m) custom-built motor yacht by SES Shipyard, delivered in 2019. She’s the result of a collaboration between SES Shipyard’s design team and Duck Design from Italy, with interior design by Barbara Pensoy. IGUAZU boasts a strong composite hull made with vinyl ester resin, enhancing durability and performance.
IGUAZU’s main deck combines the salon, open galley and wheelhouse. Parquetry flooring complements the L-shaped sofa and TV in the salon. The open galley with an island provides a seamless connection between the interior and dining area for eight.
Accommodating eight guests in four cabins, IGUAZU offers a VIP cabin with a king-size bed, two twin guest cabins and one double guest cabin. The owner’s cabin features a spacious ensuite bathroom and a walk-in closet. Crew accommodations include the captain’s cabin and a bunk cabin, sharing a bathroom.
The exterior design of IGUAZU focuses on practicality and leisure. The swim platform features an electro-hydraulic ladder, leading to a partially hi/lo platform with a 4.30m dinghy and a beach club. There’s ample seating on the forward deck with walkaround access. The cockpit, separated from the main salon by a sliding glass door, accommodates up to 10 guests for alfresco dining.
The spacious flybridge with a hardtop houses the helm station, equipped with a Raymarine screen and multiple controllers, with an outdoor dining area for eight.
Powered by twin Caterpillar C12.9 1000hp engines, she achieves a cruising speed of 14 knots and a top speed of 22 knots. The engine room houses low-hour Caterpillar engines and generators, chilled air conditioning, fuel tanks, water makers and other technical components. With 5,000 liters of fuel, she ensures extensive cruising in the Mediterranean Sea.
IGUAZU combines elegance, practicality and performance in a yacht perfect for Mediterranean adventures.
