Following a contract signed for the 56m luxury yacht Project 561 by Sunrise Yachts before this summer, the French naval design agency, Franck Darnet Design, has recently signed another contract for the second 45m Sunrise motor yacht Sunset (hull 182). The newest Sunset superyacht is a sistership to the 45m motor yacht Africa, launched by the Turkish builder in 2009, with interior design by Franck Darnet Design.
