Few charter yachts carry a provenance quite like FONERS. Originally commissioned for King Juan Carlos of Spain and built by Izar in 2000, she remains one of the most storied vessels ever constructed on Spanish soil. The result of a remarkable creative collaboration between naval architect Donald L. Blount, exterior designer Tommaso Spadolini, and Milan-based interior designer Celeste Dell'Anna, all brought together under the creative direction of Richard Cross, she has been carefully refitted for a new era whilst preserving every element of her timeless elegance. The Balearics are her natural cruising grounds, and few yachts wear these waters quite as well.
