The Secret Harbour 49 has found a new distribution point in the shape of the Singapore based luxury yacht specialists Iconovista. As a result the boat is a critical new arrival on the Asian market.
Iconovista managing director Simon Turner said: "For some time we have been looking to bring a unique yacht to Asia that is truly suitable to the conditions we have in the region and genuinely extends an owner’s cruising opportunities."
He continued: "Many owners in Asia now want to take their boats to further off destinations but are limited by fuel range and sea keeping capabilities. The Secret Harbour has not only proved itself in a force 9 gale in the Bass Strait but also managed to cruise from Perth to Sydney (over 2,375 nautical miles) on a single tank of fuel." The
fuel efficiency is indeed outstanding.
The 49-foot vessel has been designed by Australia-Yachts with Asian based owners in mind. It therefore sports excellent protection from the sun as well as luxury air-conditioned accommodation. Added to that it has an easy safe range of over 1,500 nautical miles so it can cruise without flinching between Singapore and Thailand, or from Hong Kong to
the Philippines."
The 49 is the only yacht in its class to offer 3
cabins (with the option for a 4th) and 2 bathrooms, and critically, it's also very simple to handle.
