French shipyard, JFA Yachts, has signed a ‘fit out’ contract for completing, testing and delivering of a 135’ Motor Yacht from Overing Yacht Design. The company has been chosen for its versatility in new build, and also for the fact that it offers a diverse range of specialist craftsmen in house across various disciplines. Scheduled for delivery in 2015, the 135’ JFA superyacht project is now quite advanced.

The 135’ JFA yacht offers 5 guest cabins situated on the lower deck (3 double cabins, 2 twin beds cabins). The owner suite is on the main deck and uses the full beam of the boat. 15 large windows offers exceptional light to this large area of 80 square meter which corresponds to the area that can be found on 60m Motor Yachts. This suite contains the owner cabin, 2 bathrooms, a large dressing room and a saloon / owner office. The main saloon with dining area is situated on the main deck and opens to the outside saloon and swim platform. Woodwork of this 135’ is realized in American cherry wood.
