When she was purchased in 2015, becoming MINE GAMES, she started her cruising life. Now owned by her third owner, she continues to receive the best of care. She recently completed a €2.5M refit that included in part engineering upgrades and maintenance, new interior soft goods and furnishings, deck refinishing, and many other upgrades. She is found in excellent condition
