Viewed from a distance, Mutiara Laut’s sleek hull and imposing masts seem to exude speed and agility rather than comfort and leisure.
This impression, however, evaporates the moment one sets foot on board and is welcomed by her wide open deck.
The invitingly open deck space of close to 200m2 or 2,150 sq ft is arguably the most popular hangout on the ship and multi-functions not only as the staging area for all daily activities and as the dive centre during the day, but also as the al fresco restaurant for breakfast, lunch & dinner and the lazy cocktail lounge during sunset.
Life is always good around the large central table underneath the white canvas “sunbrella”, with comfortable cushioned chairs for everyone and plenty of space left for lounge & sunbathing chairs all around, cooled by sea breezes and offering sea views all around.
The smoothly polished teak wood planking invites barefoot exploration of some of the ingenious design solutions to be discovered all around the ship’s deck, with the sail rigging installations and winches becoming decorative features which are not only fully functional but also add to the luxurious feel of the yacht.
On the open-air rear deck, comfy cushioned benches offer a little getaway corner above the waves, ideally suited for an intimate tête-à-tête with a loved one or for some private solitude with a favourite novel.
