Previously known as PROJECT KING SHARK, she was commissioned by a private client and is designed with exterior and interior styling from Enrico Gobbi with naval architecture by Arrabito Naval Architects.
The full displacement steel hull and aluminium superstructure are designed for cruising the world over, from the tropical Caribbean islands close to the equator to the icy wonderlands of Greenland or Antarctica. The 1,542 GT volume provides plenty of space onboard for amenities to fill the hours while cruising, and the contemporary interiors offer the utmost comfort and impressive entertainment spaces for hosting celebrations.

Technological benefits onboard include a Satellite Dynamic System (SDS) that allows E/Y POLARIS to hold position even in extreme weather conditions without dropping anchor in environmentally sensitive regions. There is also diesel-electric propulsion for optimum performance, efficiency and reduced environmental impact, and the twin Marelli Motori 1,866 kW electric motors and triple Cat C32 1,081 bkW generators plus pair of Cat C9.3 355 bkW generators give a top speed of 17 knots, a cruising speed of 15 knots and a range of more than 6,000 nautical miles.
The accommodation sleeps up to 12 guests across six en-suite cabins, while the crew of 17 are accommodated over 10 cabins.
