ALCYON 120'

Let me introduce the Alcyon SC 120, a very sharp looking and spacious luxury megacatamaran. This catamaran offers really large relaxing and living spaces with a 80 m² "terrasse on the ocean", a 70 m² flybridge and 220m² of interior accomodations. Made in composite and carbon for performance the layout can be customized according to the client wishes.

If you look at the renderings of the interior layout the owner's suite (on Alcyon's website) is located on the platform with a magnificent view on the outside. It features a king size bed, a desk and a sofa, and a private access to a huge bathroom in the portside hull. Guests and crews all have independent access to their suites via the salon. The option of the galley down leaves a lot of space available in the salon for the guests intertainment.

Managed by Paul Renaud, ALCYON is a boat design studio located in the south of France near Saint Tropez. They have also designed a 50 foot power catamaran with a great look. They are very talented in producing virtual images really close to reality just have the look at the website, it is amazing. ALCYON can take in charge a complete project from defining the project to designing the boat and following up the construction.

The Alcyon 120 production will start by the end of the year in a shipyard yet undisclosed (the choice will be made in the month of October).

Nothing will be overlooked, the bespoke Synergy 88 will simply be the best." The Synergie 88 has been designed specially to serve their Synergie Global Yacht club project.
