New Model: Integrity 55 Flybridge

Dubai builder Integrity Yachts presents its 55 Flybridge launched in the fall of 2008. An interesting motor yacht which competes in a highly battled market segment size. The Integrity 55 Flybridge comes where luxury growth was at a massive rate in recent years, so seeing builders with a good product from the Middle East is just the result of an always increasing boating population. The Integrity 55 is a nice design offering the recent conventional layout for boats this size, that of a main deck reserved for the saloon, dining, galley and a lower deck for the accommodation. Lower deck surprises, offering in its 16 metre plus length a 3 double cabin 3 head layout, of which two en suites for the owner and VIP cabin, with the third being a mix between a day head and third cabin usage. Should be among the smaller yachts in this size to offer a three cabin and head layout, without loosing the much requested full beam owners cabin and the big view windows. Performance wise the 55 Flybridge has a top speed of 31 knots and a cruising of 28 knots with the big twin Volvo D12-800 option. None the less this an interesting offer from a Dubai builder, showing that they are not just letting the renowned brands take over there market, but already to compete on an international level with a high quality product.
