Italian shipyard unveils Classic 108 yacht model featuring steel hull and aluminium superstructure

Italian shipyard Ocean King has reportedly unveiled the model of Classic 108 yacht, featuring a steel hull and lightweight aluminium superstructure. This sleek 340 GT explorer yacht with an overall length of 34 metres has a layout spread out across four decks and five staterooms.

The exterior of the vessel, designed by VYD Studio of Trieste, benefits from enormous outer deck space with multiple separate sunbathing and seating areas, while the interior infused with the right amount of freshness and radiance.

The tender can be tucked away in a garage which is convertible to a beach club so as not to encroach on deck usage.

With a wide-beam, large volume luxury interior, the 108 is the product of contemporary and classic design approach, resulting in a timeless profile.

We are thrilled to be able to offer our customers a class and price-beating model that we are confident will stun the explorer yacht world”.

In terms of performance, the Ocean King 108 will be able to achieve a maximum speed of 14 knots, a cruising speed of 10.5 knots and a range at cruising speed of 4,050 nautical miles.
