Romeo Marine to unveil Romeo 55 at Dubai Boat Show

In August PressMare reported that the Romeo 55 was preparing for her debut. The shipyard has now set the date: the yacht will have her world premiere at the 32nd Dubai International Boat Show, held at Dubai Harbour from 25 to 29 November.

The 55-metre steel and aluminium superyacht has just completed her sea trials. According to Romeo Marine, she is the first yacht over 500 gross tonnes to be fully designed, engineered and built in the UAE.

The interiors were designed by Pulina Exclusive Interiors, a design and architecture studio that specialises in bespoke projects, and built in Dubai by Romeo Interiors. They take their cue from Mediterranean waterside villas, with a palette of sand and sea tones. In the guest areas, double-height glazing brings in natural light and opens the view outside. A circular panoramic glass lift and a staircase connect the decks and sit at the centre of the layout.

Based in Dubai Maritime City, Romeo Marine describes itself as the largest shipyard in the Gulf region specialising in steel-hulled superyachts. Its 12,000-square-metre facility can handle several projects at once and build yachts up to 120 metres.

At the show the yard will be on stand MD-52.
