She has five en-suite cabins to accommodate 12 guests.

The interior by Michael Leach Design expresses a contemporary chic layout and the main salon proves high attention to detail.

Hemisphere’s interior boasts 18 types of leather and 15 types of stone for a unique and beautiful design.

This cat has won 5 awards, including the Interior Design Award for Sailing Yachts at the ShowBoats Design Awards 2012.

Builder Pendennis made sure Hemisphere was one for the records by providing extreme attention to detail and innovative options like the ‘ailes de mouette’ through partnering with VPLP Design.
