7) Buy a piece of Singapore history: Adamas II up for sale! Built in 1987 by Dauphin in Singapore, the 54 meters was certainly a great achievement for the only Singapore yard that was at the time really making headways in the Superyacht segment. Refitted in 2005 only, Adamas II nonetheless kept a very solid reputation for the seriousness of it's built and design. Our call: a yacht that deserves a discerning owner and a tasteful refreshment of its interiors.
