At another large teak-decked area on the upper deck, the full service bar encourages daytime partying as well as lounging. It sports deeply padded lounges and round papa-san chair seating; all with individual cocktail tables.

On the main deck, the aft segment is set up for grand banquets in the outdoors. With round-about seating for as many as 16, this airy but fully shaded party location overlooks the swim platform. All should see plenty of action in the Carib, the Med, or any favorite ocean venue.

On Kismet’s huge upper deck, second from the top, seems large enough for a Governor’s Ball. All stripped teak flooring, it is the avenue for entertainment, even dances, but also sports a fine bar, with a gold/vanilla onyx granite countertop. Red-seated bar stools attend the bar. At the central area, the main, all-floor staircase and the glass-enclosed elevator reach the top floor.

Opposite, on the starboard beam, separate stairs lead up to the sun deck. The lobby features alabaster urns, while throughout the yacht there is Indian sculpture, Brazilian bark bowls, glass jellyfish, African tribal shields, as well as creative murals of African scenes and wildlife.

Better than running around the block, Kismet presents a full, though compact, gym for those inclined to keep fit even while cruising. In this cozy chamber is a programmed cycle, menued treadmill, sit-up bench, plus a full set of chrome-coated free weights, certain to keep your health regimen on schedule, no matter where the sea takes you. Day head and shower are right next door.

Kismet’s helm, as expected, presents every modern, up to date instrument for guiding this admirable craft to its destination. Multiple 20” screens show data for location, weather, speed, fuel, in excellent detail. These include twin Nera Fleet satellite-com systems and Nera Mini-M Broadband, Satcom-C, DSV VHF, SSB Navtex, and Panasonic phones with Wi-Fi. In addition, a GMDSS and VSAT high speed Wi-Fi. Security includes CCTV, lighting, and Ship-Port Security Code; On a dark leather base, each piece of equipment and device is at the Captain’s fingertips, from his Stidd deluxe adjustable chair. Two large C-shaped settees are immediately aft of his station for passengers to monitor his route.

Two steps behind the helm, a large chart table allows a look at the full printed chart, as well as video presentation of surrounding areas and pertinent landmarks. Weather projections are also noted in detail. Directly aft of the wheelhouse, the Captain’s Quarters allow him to be in charge at all times. His lodging consists of a fully furnished stateroom with double berth, bedlamps, hanging locker, storage, and head/shower. Across a short hallway, the ship’s office is conveniently located as well, for the convenience of the captain and passengers as necessary. There is a desk, storage, computer/wireless internet communications.

Seating up to 16, Kismet’s elegant and artistic formal dining room is an artwork in itself. With a gold ceiling reflecting the faux candelabra lights and glittering glassware; softened by the grey-white figured carpeting; and glamorous oil paintings larger than life, capturing the essence of Windows on the Green in New York City, every meal has to be an adventure in the arts. The finest chef would be thrilled to match the splendor of this room, devising menus to match or surpass the mood.

Also on the upper deck, the Disco Bar invites mingling and dancing in the ultimate party room. Under a massive round echo chamber where the music reverberates, luscious couches and easy chairs invite, with various patterns and motifs, while bar stools belly up to the onyx marble-topped serving station.

Complete with flashing colored lighting, the disco’s dance floor will accommodate a crowd. The entire circular area is wrapped in floor to ceiling windows, with large sliders to port & starboard for overflow crowds.

A circular staircase winds upward, flaunting a spectacular bronze bas relief artwork as it winds around the cylindrical glass elevator shaft.

Kismet's elevator quickly whisks to the space you were invited, whether it is a costume party, a dance, the cinema, the salon – graced with a full-size grand piano; the elevator to the top, or simply a tour; this is an impressive achievement. Your dream cruise begins.

Entering through the foyer on the main deck, where most visitors board, you are struck not only by the size, but the glamorous finishes. Floors gleam in polished black/green/gold granite; walls and ceilings reflect in dark mirrored glass, so that every space seems even much larger than it actually is. Gold accents, brilliant Persian cuneiform artworks, splendid white carpeting plus elegant fixtures, radiate classic good taste. There is much use of highly polished satin mahogany paneling and marquetry edging, also quite dark but extremely attractive.

Seats arranged in a wide semi-circle face a giant screen next door to the salon, for movies and video entertainment. Patrons are treated to deeply upholstered couches in light beige to white, with occasional easy chairs placed strategically. The golden circle motif is also overhead at the ceiling, with tiny starlights; while elegant gold/glass urns are placed for artificial lighting. Carpeting is white.

The main salon is a comfortable, spacious living room; it boasts a grand piano, couches arranged around a long coffee table, and a delicate frieze art design on the wall. At its aft end is yet another handy bar, with stools, under a glass oval.
