Launched in 2010, Calliope represents an excellent combination of engineering and design, with a splendid interior styled to the owners requirements, perfect for formal entertaining as well as relaxing in comfort.
The interior of Calliope was inspired by contrasting elegant classical architecture with carefully chosen contemporary furniture. Influenced by the architecture of a French Chateau, elegant curves and flowing lines create a calm yet rich background to the loose furniture.
The wood for the cabins is a weathered limed oak, which whilst looking beautifully finished allows you to appreciate the grain and life of the timber, lending a rich patina and life to the interior. The loose furniture provides an eclectic feel, with each piece individually designed by Rhoades Young Design. The custom furniture encompasses everything from large slabs of slate and oiled sleepers to finely detailed rosewood.
The most unusual feature of the yacht is the reverse twin spiral staircases which create a dynamic connection to the three decks - along with spectacular views through the sweeping undersides of the steps - creating a dramatic centerpiece to the yacht and a testament to the quality of craftsmanship onboard.
Rhoades Young Design also styled the exterior dining and lifestyle areas, in collaboration with Naval Architects Langan Design Partners.
