Palladino Yacht Design 85 meter

The design philosophy was to create a yacht with world class amenities and wrap it in a package that would stand out above all others. Three basic parameters were set for the overall design. (1) Preserve the elegance of the sleek exterior lines. (2) Incorporate every amenity yacht of this size deserves. (3) Do so in a manner that always creates a feeling of spaciousness.
