Description

GRAND ILLUSION underwent a comprehensive refit in 2017, resulting in a stunning transformation. The entire interior underwent a meticulous redesign and received a lavish redecoration, but this makeover extended beyond just aesthetics. Throughout the refit process, the main deck and aft lounge area were skillfully repurposed, the main engines received expert servicing, and the hull was elegantly extended to accommodate a brand-new transom and a spacious swim platform. Following a highly successful summer season cruising the Eastern and Western Mediterranean, GRAND ILLUSION stands as a 'Must-See' masterpiece of nautical refinement.
