Inspired by the graceful lines of classic Italian boat design, the promising beginnings of a musical journey, and a passion for family boating, Dr. Frank Russo envisioned his next vessel—a magnificent 75-foot yacht. 

Years ago, while navigating the waters of Miami, Dr. Russo was captivated by a stunning motor yacht that had made its way from Italy. “It was absolutely breathtaking, and I thought to myself, I need to create a boat like that.” 

Drawing from his previous boatbuilding experience, Russo crafted a scale model of his dream flybridge motor yacht and presented it to a respected marine architect. Brought to life by Hill Marine in Seal Beach, California, using a combination of cold-molded fiberglass and wood, this vessel was launched in Long Beach in 1989. Dr. Russo and his family cherished the boat for three decades, extensively exploring the southern California coastline, including trips to Newport Harbor, San Diego, and Catalina Island. 

**General Construction:** The yacht features cold-molded plywood fiberglass that is mechanically and adhesive fastened to cross-section plywood box bulkheads, with robust 1 1/2” x 7” longitudinals, 2” x 4” hull side stiffeners, and deck beams. The topsides are similarly constructed with plywood and fiberglass, while the exterior is safeguarded by a polyurethane finish. The decks are treated with a nonskid paint, except for the aft area, which boasts beautiful teak.

**Additional Electrical Equipment:** The boat is equipped with a main AC breaker capacity of 30; 50 Amp 3-30 Amp 125 VAC shore power inlets; phone and TV inlets; dual Monitrol corrosion control systems; a Xantrex Pro Sine 3.0 inverter charger; Lewco 2440 and 1240 chargers; six battery disconnect switches; inverter remote control; battery parallel solenoid; AC ammeters; cathodic protection system; Blue Seas DC volt meter; a 50 Amp 125/250 VAC shore power inlet; and a 50 Amp shore power cord.

**Luxury Amenities:** The vessel is also equipped with a Splendide combo washer and dryer, a jacuzzi tub, a Jenn Air grill, and cooking burners, elevating your onboard lifestyle to new heights.
