Luxury Yacht: Antares III
Antares III, a 30 metre (98.2 ft) long composite luxury yacht built by Yachting Developments, was commissioned with stringent noise level requirements.
Designed by naval architects Dixon Yacht Design, Antares III was launched in 2011.
Built of composites, the vessel is incredibly strong yet 25%-30% lighter than similar vessels built in aluminium. The hull has a Kevlar outer skin for outstanding impact resistance.
