Built with a aluminium hull and aluminium superstructure, she offers greater on-board space and is more stable when at anchor thanks to her full-displacement hull. Powered by twin MTU engines, she comfortably cruises at 15 knots, reaches a maximum speed of 28 knots with a range of up to 4,200 nautical miles from her 90,000 litre fuel tanks at 14 knots. An advanced stabilisation system on board reduces the side-to-side roll of the yacht and promises guests exceptional comfort levels at anchor or when underway.
Illusion has aboard a plentiful range of water toys and accessories ready to entertain you and your guests whilst on charter. Principle among these are waterslides for hours of fun for all ages. Take to the sea on the Jet Skis offering you power and control on the water. In addition there are towable toys offering fun and adventure. If that isn't enough Illusion also features waterskis, a seabob, wakeboards, paddleboards and snorkelling equipment. Illusion features four tenders, but leading the pack is a 12.2m/40' Saxdor Chase Tender to transport you in style.
Illusion and her crew are available for charter this winter for cruising within the Caribbean. She is already accepting bookings this summer for cruising in the Mediterranean.
With a highly experienced and talented crew of 15, you can be sure that each and every need will be met and exceeded while on board this prestigious motor yacht.
