About
M/Y Paraffin was built by Feadship in the Netherlands in 2002, with her last refit being completed in 2010. She is 60 metres (197 feet) and can accommodate 12 guests in 6 cabins; a master suite, VIP stateroom, 3 double cabins and a twin cabin. To cater to the guests, she also accommodates 17 crew in 9 cabins, ensuring a luxury experience.
To keep guests comfortable and entertained, M/Y Paraffin features Wi-Fi, air conditioning, a jacuzzi, a gym with stunning 360-degree views, a cinema, a wine cellar that holds over 400 bottles, and most importantly, stabilizers to provide comfort to her guests when at anchor. The superyacht isn’t lacking in the water toys department either, with sea kayaks, SeaBobs, windsurfers and WaveRunners, as well as a range of fishing, snorkelling and scuba equipment for guests to enjoy. For getting out and about, Paraffin has two tenders; a 7.2-metre Castoldi and a 5.4-metre Boston Whaler.
