Antiquity

She is also the second Lloyd Stevenson Boatbuilders-built Elite motor yacht owned by these Auckland clients. This vessel is powered by twin Cummins QSM11 715 hp diesels on shafts giving a top speed of 28 knots.

Antiquity has all the features that make the Elite Mid Pilothouse motor yacht such a popular and user-friendly configuration. The ease of access to the pilothouse, which is reached from the saloon or cockpit via a few easy steps rather than the usual ladder in flybridge boats, turns the helm station into another living area, meaning the helmsman is not isolated as is often the case on flybridge boats. The separate dinette and saloon areas create space for different groups, while the three cabin, two head accommodation, including a large master cabin with ensuite, provides unparalleled comfort and privacy.

When launched, Antiquity led the way with several features that made her a unique example of this design, including an al-fresco dinette area in the cockpit; a stunning teak-grate style sliding table, oversized electric window and pillarless sliding companionway door, that accentuates the flow from the cockpit to the interior, are now standard features on almost all Elite Mid Pilothouse motor yachts.

The interiors’ stained oak cabinetry contrasts nicely with the light colours of the soft furnishings. The Hi-Macs solid surface countertops and the solid oak soles create an eye-catching feature in the galley/dinette, aft cabin and head areas. The entirety of the stylish interior design enhances the feeling of spaciousness.
