Check out the soft-shade pearwood panelling, which is laid horizontally and defined by aluminium bandings between the planks. It's all delightfully complemented by a light ash laminate sole. Most of the furniture is standalone stuff from the likes of Minotti and Poltrona Frau — items as comfortable as they are chic. The upholstery is a mix of cool white and brown leather, and vivid cottons. Some of the lime greens and oranges in evidence echo the early '70s.

The aft half of the main saloon is all lounge. Sofas, chaise-lounges, arm chairs and poufs. There are plenty of them to give maximum flexibility as to how the space is enjoyed.

Halfway down the main saloon to starboard are stairs that lead up to the enclosed flybridge above and to the guest accommodation below.

What makes this such a special feature is the fact that it is constructed almost entirely from green-tinted toughened glass — and that includes walls and stair treads some 17mm thick. There is no real support structure at all. It’s all held together with a minimal amount of stainless steel — joints, support rods and so on.

All RINA approved, it's a dramatic feature and can’t help but draw the eye. Then, immediately to port of the glass staircase, there is a stainless steel bar, fronted by lime green panelling and several stools. But what really stuns as one moves into this middle area, is the way the ceiling of the main saloon suddenly sweeps up, in to what in other Planet 100/115s would have been the raised pilothouse. With bar and staircase together, the maximum ceiling height there must be getting on for about 4.5m at it highest. Fantastic.

Beyond that central area is a space given
over to a dining room comprising a big round table and eight elegant simple Zanotta dining chairs. The bubble in the side glazing also coincides with this spot, so seated guests can appreciate the superb views on offer on both sides. However, the main focus is a Canova mosaic of a young man's face on the forward wall. This feature commands attention the moment one walks into the main saloon as it glares down at you, even though it's some 17m away.

Conveniently, there's also a day head off the dining area.
