The 43.5 metre vessel, owned by Cypriot businessman Tassos Papanastasiou, has previously hosted a number of internationally known guests. Its distinctive design has earned it comparisons to a Lamborghini on the sea.<\/p>\n
The yacht can reportedly be chartered for between \u20ac350,000 and \u20ac390,000 per week, depending on the season.<\/p>\n
A floating luxury resort<\/p>\n
This Is It measures 14.5 metres across and features an aluminium hull and superstructure. Powered by twin MTU engines producing a combined 2,636 horsepower, it can cruise at around 17 knots and reach a top speed of 21 knots.<\/p>\n
The vessel has a range of up to 3,500 nautical miles at 10 knots and can accommodate up to 12 guests, supported by a crew of 12.<\/p>\n <\/source><\/picture><\/figure>\n

Guests also have access to a swimming pool, gym, Jacuzzi and a luxury spa equipped with a treatment area and sauna.<\/p>\n
A separate playroom can be used for children or converted into an additional guest room.<\/p>\n
The master suite includes a large patio, panoramic terrace and a striking vertical garden extending across two decks.<\/p>\n
Six spacious cabins can accommodate up to 12 guests, while large windows offer uninterrupted views of the Ionian Sea.<\/p>\n
