It was a very special moment where I also was impressed not only by the hull’s beauty but also by the high quality of the construction standards. I’m sure that this project is a real step forward in the evolution of design and technological innovation.” SY C.2227 has all of the typical Perini Navi characteristics of quality, comfort and performance in safety.
