Luxury yacht boasts master SkySuite™ with 270-degree panoramic views

PALM BEACH, FL, Jan. 6 /PRNewswire/ - Argos Yachts delivered and sold its flagship Argos Gulfstream 92 (Argos G92) to a South Florida couple just in time for the holiday season.

Shown recently at the Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show in late October 2010, the Argos G92 was the first hull crafted in the limited-edition Argos Gulfstream series. Argos Yachts guarantees limited production each year; an industry first that contributes to superior investment value.

"Her new owners respect her exceptional engineering, first-class craftsmanship, well-executed and laid out spaces and her enormous boat deck, which is a prominent, much-loved feature of the Argos series," said Dave Adams, Vice President of Argos Yachts. "One of the buyers is a competitive ballroom dancer. She is looking forward to entertaining family and friends on the multipurpose deck. It is just a great example of how the world can truly be yours without compromise on an Argos Gulfstream."

The buyers and their captain put the Argos G92 through a rigorous six-man-day survey, delighting everyone with her comfort, versatility and range of use in 20 knot winds and seas peaking at eight feet.

The Argos Gulfstream Series

A truly revolutionary yacht series, the Argos Gulfstream boasts unsurpassed detailing, amenities, and a hybrid hull that combines long range with high-speed performance never before offered in vessels of similar size and class. The semi-custom series is available in 70 to 100-foot models and on a custom basis from 105 to 145 feet.

The Argos G92 features an industry-first in her class: an unconstrained second-deck master SkySuite™ stateroom. Positioned amidship above deck, the SkySuite™ is secluded, maintaining a level of owner privacy that is simply not available on other vessels of comparable size. Expansive windows supply breathtaking 270-degree panoramic views and ample natural sunlight. Separate his and her heads provide privacy and luxury.

In addition to the master SkySuite™, the Argos G92 includes three well-appointed guest staterooms and crew quarters for four. An additional Sky-Lounge design with galley-up custom layout is also available in this luxury series.

Technical Capabilities

Concept and design of the Argos Yachts series was carried out by the company's internal design team, with naval architecture led by internationally renowned architect, Howard Apollonio.

Purpose built for challenging seas and frequent Gulf Stream crossings, the Argos G92 features a distinct seagoing profile with a low center of gravity and significantly reduced roll. Her proprietary hull is the world's first true hybrid, providing excellent range and high-performance speed.

Engine options include high-horsepower packages that offer speeds of up to 33 knots, and are available from 600 hp to 2400 hp to meet owners' personal performance preferences.

Get Onboard

The Argos G92's new owners will be showing her off at the prestigious Miami Yacht and Brokerage Show, which takes place in February 2011 in Miami Beach. Please contact Argos Yachts to arrange a private viewing.
