Calisto was built in 1944 as a Naval Vessel but today she is a very comfortable, luxury superyacht that will take you on an adventure along the beautiful coasts and through the islands of Thailand.
Her interior features rich mahogany, fine handcrafted carpentry, luxurious fabrics and plush seating which provides an elegant, comfortable atmosphere. The saloon is a great place to relax and boasts a large LCD HD TV and audio system, her dining room provides a cosy ambiance where you can enjoy superb food and quality wines.
