The new sale heralds the expansion of Tricon’s Argos Gulfstream series of luxury, offshore performance yachts. Argos Gulfstream yachts boast unsurpassed detailing, amenities and performance never before offered in vessels of similar size and class. The G70 complements Argos Gulfstream motor yacht designs in lengths of 78, 82, 92 and 100 feet.

The G70 motor yacht will sleep six guests in three posh staterooms with ensuite heads. Additional luxury appointments include a large pilothouse, a spacious galley, a beautiful salon, a discrete day head, and a multipurpose split-level sundeck offering infinite possibilities for entertainers and sports enthusiasts alike. The G70 includes crew quarters for two.
The custom-built motor yacht Argos G70 will be fitted with CAT C-12 715 HP engines. Tricon Marine expects a cruising speed of 17 knots and maximum speed of 20 knots, with a range of over 2,000 nautical miles at passage-making speeds.
Argos yachts are crafted under a limited-production guarantee, a first for the luxury yacht industry. Only three hulls across the entire series will be built each year, providing owners with the utmost distinction in ownership and superior investment value.
