Greek yard SSH Maritime has completed a three-month refit on 51-metre explorer yacht Aspire. The works of reported €4,000,000 included major exterior and interior renovations.

Other features on-board include a Jacuzzi and alfresco dining zone on the sky lounge aft. The sundeck meanwhile represents a wellness area, with the aft deck space intended for exercise classes and yoga.
