The 31st of May 2010 saw the launch of the 60 metre Lurssen super yacht KATIE SUE II. Motor Yacht Katie Sue II is a very voluminous yacht and her exterior design is dominated by sleek, curved features, which have been extended throughout the whole yacht. Glade Johnson, who is responsible for the interior design, has created generous and warm areas, in which the design blends elegant classical details with contemporary elements.
The main and upper deck salons of the superyacht Katie Sue II are flushed with natural light. These areas offer guests huge spaces for a formal dining inside or a more casual dining outside, splendid spaces for relaxation, watching TV or playing games.
