Refitted in 2016 to a design by the fashion guru Roberto Cavalli, the decor screams opulence, making the most of the 10ft headroom afforded to guests relaxing in the saloon.\r\n\r\n<em>Article continues below...<\/em>\r\n\r\n<hr \/>\r\n\r\n[collection]\r\n\r\n<hr \/>\r\n\r\nOther stunning features include the day heads wash basin, which is a work of art in itself, comprised of a geometric skull that Cavalli calls 'Brainwashing'.\r\n\r\nWhen Nick filmed this video at the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mby.com\/tag\/miami-boat-show\">2020 Miami Boat Show<\/a>, <em>Thunder<\/em> was offered for sale with Denison Yachting, priced at $10.8M.\r\n\r\nShe has since had a price reduction to $8.8M and is now offered for sale with IYC following a 2021 refit.\r\n\r\nEnjoy the tour\u2026\r\n<h3><strong><em>Thunder<\/em> specification<\/strong><\/h3>\r\n<strong>LOA:<\/strong> 164\u2019 \/ 49.99m\r\n<strong>Beam:<\/strong> 26'7\" \/ 8.1m\r\n<strong>Interior volume:<\/strong> 445GT\r\n<strong>Engines:<\/strong> Twin 2,960hp MTU V16\r\n<strong>Top speed:<\/strong> 34 knots\r\n<strong>Cruising speed:<\/strong> 18 knots\r\n<strong>Builder:<\/strong> Oceanfast\r\n<strong>Exterior designer:<\/strong> Jon Bannenberg\r\n<strong>Interior designer (2016 refit):<\/strong> Roberto Cavalli\r\n<strong>Price:<\/strong> $8,800,000","excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>First a little history lesson.
