The superyacht comes with a pair of helipads, laying on the sun deck and on the bridge deck. Their D-Values make 18 metres and 14 metres, meaning they are able to host the largest helicopters on the market.

With her wide beam of 20.5 metres, Flying Fox also boasts large sea terraces, wide swim platforms for watersports, a panoramic exterior saloon on the roof deck and a generous 12-metre transverse swimming pool crossways the main deck, the first one for a superyacht of that size.

On the lower deck, spa is connected to the sea lounge which comes with a large Jacuzzi, and access to the sea through the dive centre and sea platforms.

Within the yacht’s beam of 14,1 metres, there are such trademarked as a commercial helicopter landing pad, basketball and golf courts, two-deck IMAX cinema, four VIP suites each with 8k TVs and a large swimming pool to be found on-board.



Meanwhile, the two-deck IMAX cinema represents an extraordinary feature even for a superyacht. It has been an exclusively ordered by the owners, and according to the designers, is so immense, that the vessel “had to be built around it”.

Due to her substantial LOA, Lady S has recently been listed among the largest yachts built for sports teams owners.

Spacious beach club and spa zone with a sea terrace on the lower deck are on the list of Madsummer’s special features. The bow is equipped with a helipad, while the sun deck aft features hidden crane in the bulwark, aimed  to handle an aeroboat.

Madsummer will offer on-board accommodation for 20 guests within 10 suites.
