Le Paquebot (Paris Yachts)
Starting from a copy unearthed in Holland, the studies for this 85-metre vessel concentrated firstly on the superstructure and, of course, its lines, before going on to the interior design, which bears more than a passing resemblance to the liners of the Roaring Twenties.
The “Paquebot” can accommodate cocktail parties for 1000 passengers or dinner for 500 at top-flight receptions, while elegantly and majestically plying Paris’ most beautiful avenue, the Seine.
The studies and construction only took 12 months, which is no mean feat when you consider that we are not known as the Atlantic Shipyards.
Characteristics : Steel hull and superstructure, length 85 m, beam 10 m, 2 decks + sun deck, displacement 1.034 tonnes, engines 2 x 300 hp.
