Overview
About this vessel
With more than 2,000 square feet of modern comfort, this mint condition 60ft Bondway is currently berthed in Langkawi. Very well maintained and was updated by the current owners. The vessel benefits from the "wedding cake" design, three levels of silver-tinted panoramic windows guaranteeing great views while protecting the interiors from heat and direct sunlight. Typically, a much larger vessel would be needed to achieve this much interior space. This model was designed for the Hong Kong market to provide a home on the water in an exclusive upmarket marina. The majority of the owners were Cathay Pacific pilots and their families. This particular boat was custom built for a Danish family, and Dannebrog is the name of the Danish Flag.
The vessel came to life in 2008 and was a home for the first owners in Hong Kong for ten years. The vessel was shipped to Phuket and the present owners took ownership in 2019 and steamed down to Langkawi where the vessel is now berthed.
The layout offers one private level for up to five guests whilst retaining a private suite for the owners. The guests' level comprises 3 bedrooms, sitting room and full bathroom.
