Most memorable onshore homes have a great garden and this has been the thinking for Samba, where wonderful outdoor leisure spaces complement an exceptional residence at sea. An expansive aft deck includes a relaxation lounge zone with a large aft-facing sofa and formal dining table for alfresco meals. The beach club has a chill-out zone, luxurious sauna & steam room, day head and lots of washer/drier capacity. A large transformer platform descends into the water to facilitate swimming while a seamless flow with the interior spaces in terms of furniture and flooring adds to the good life vibe.

Smart building
The engineering and naval architecture developed for Lady Lene has been utilised in a fast displacement hull for Samba with the same proven performance, comfort and safety. Guido and the clients have spent many hours developing the rhythmic lines, complex surfaces and sculptural elements of a distinctive explorer-like profile. Finely integrated balconies next to the wheelhouse provide great views for manoeuvring as well as being a neat design feature. Extensive 3D modelling means the owners already know how Samba will look and feel when completed.

The main deck master includes an office and lounge seat for the owners to relax and read. A large bathroom arrangement with separate toilet and shower uses sliding doors to make the suite feel larger while his & her walk-ins further support long-term residency. On the lower deck are two VIPs and two twin suites, separated from three crew cabins in the bow by a watertight bulkhead. The captain’s comfortable cabin close to the wheelhouse includes an office with lots of space for storing files.
