The captivating sailing vessel, launched by the New Zealand-based Yachting Developments in 2011, fosters memories of sailing pleasure and enchantment.

The exquisite design of Antares III is the handiwork of Dixon Yacht Design which expertly blended the strong naval architecture and enchanting exterior.
