QUINTESSENTIAL 70

What is it? A sporty 230ft concept

designed by Marco Casali, and inspired

by “the quintessence of freedom.”

Why we love it The Quintessential 70

is long and lean with lots of outdoor

recreation: pools both fore and aft,

an outdoor cinema, a beach club

gym and a top-deck spa pool with a

glass bottom that brings light inside.

The concept of freedom applies both

to its performance – long range at

displacement speed as well as the

ability to reach 26 knots – and to the

spacious living areas, inside and out.
