The boat was built in Antalya Turkey by Farmont which was a German owned company. I worked at Farmont at the time and was in charge of the interiors department. The woodwork is indeed second to none. Turkish furniture and joinery is remarkably high quality. The broker should have mentioned that the boat was built using Epoxy/fiberglass rather than the much inferior polyester resin. The scantlings are very stout. You'll never get hull blisters on that boat. Looks like the interior lower deck was modified to incorporate a third stateroom to starboard. She originally had just the master and the VIP and the corridor was all the way to starboard. The master was expansive and double doors from the corridor into the room. I can see that the joinery in the new stateroom doesn't match the rest of the boat. It was probably done in Germany. She very comfortable and has a ton of spaces around the boat to hang out in privacy. The comment above about the non-commercial appliances is nonsense... she's not a megayacht carrying 12 guests and 10 crew! Glued down teak decks are great... non-slip and low maintenance. And she is easily handled by owners who know what they are doing on a boat. No need for a "Captain" LOL!... she's only 72' long. The crew quarters are perfectly adequate for a deckhand or extra family member. btw...She is easily worth way more then $850k. People shouldn't shoot off their mouths without knowing what they are talking about. There were only three of these built. The first one was a disaster, avoid a all costs. The second (this one) and the third are good boats. Farmont is out of business.

I Captained this boat on her final leg from the Caribbean to Ft. Lauderdale, bringing to a close the owner's year long trip from Europe to South America and throughout the Caribbean. She is absolutely one of the best built vessels of her size ever, and handles big water like a vessel twice her size. Her owner was a prominent Swiss engineer, and upon arrival to FLL, he asked me to put her in the boat yard and have her surveyed, and oversee that all issues found were renewed. He was a meticulous owner and credited the boat with saving his family's life when confronted with extreme weather in the open sea, and addressed her every need with an open check book accordingly. I oversaw her works for almost 3 mos, and then captained her into the FT Lauderdale Boat Show. I docked her at a brokerage dock after the show, and all these years later, I still keep an eye out on the water for her. with wonder...)) I wouldn't hesitate to take this boat anywhere, as she is of a robust build with redundant systems (critical ones in triplicate!), of the highest quality materials with superb fit and finish. Her QS-11's push her along at 10 knots cruise (12 knot max) very economically while giving confidence of having plenty of power in all points of navigation. Its a very well built boat, very safe & seaworthy as a class A certified vessel., and was very well loved and cared for by her original owner.

It's great to see your comment as well as a former captain (yachtservicessxm2663) below with some interesting facts and the backstory of this boat. Me, i am nobody, just a poor old retired person who asked himself the question: What would i do if i hit the lotto? I had an interest for many years of sailing, being on the water and traveling the world. Life did not work our for me in a way that would do that for me, but, one can dream right? This vessel would be the answer to that question. Thank you for the tour of course, but thank you to the both of you for sharing some very interesting facts about this vessel. 😃

We did it in Army Tug boats 45 feet STs. Get the spring line on FIRST, then rudder all the way away from dock. We docked every time.

They didn't cheap-out on those big QSM-11 engines, which are probably only doing about 125HP each or less to make the claimed 8 knots cruising speed. The claimed cruise speed of 8 knots seems low, perhaps to achieve the significant claimed range with very modest fuel consumption.

These 65 to 75 footers fall into awkward category. A bit too much for a. Couple to handle , but not large enough for adequate crew . No captain is using a bunk bed . Should have captains quarters behind pilot house . Then maybe two crew below works . A 7 ton crane for a RIB ? And it’s not really right deck layout for an expedition yacht . Nor for fishing either. It seems to me the designers were trying too hard to make a relatively small yacht as expedition vessel . And they didn’t succeed. Quality for sure , but they mixed up many things . Who wants teak decks on a vessel that has to work for a living not sit pretty in harbor . This boat tries to do to many things and unfortunately does not accomplish any very well . Actual value 850 k and say goodbye .

Does the RIB have a Portuguese bridge too? Bad idea there.
