Dragon, the fine lady herself making her U.S. debut, flaunts a spirited, highly artistic quality which sets her apart from other luxury yachts, both inside and out. The 2nd new launch in Palmer Johnson's Sport Yacht series, her sweeping 135' exterior design is so advanced - she is Showtime personified.

As an outstanding, even iconic, luxury yacht, Dragon will likely become a much imitated model of exterior and interior design. Perhaps a surrogate Mona Lisa, as it were, admired and coveted by every viewer at the first ardent glimpse of her 21st Century smile....

A work of artistic taste and mien - far from the pop candy look of some new builds - Dragon was instantly voted a star on Valentine's Day at the Miami International Boat Show. Dragons flamboyant exterior design is only the preface; a threshold in a grand exposition of modern yachting which seems deeply devoted to a study in modern art.

As noted, Dragon was designed by the Italian firm of Nuvolari and Lenard, whose growing list of radical new yacht designs includes the recently launched Amevi and Alfa Nero, as well as Carver's new Marquis line of sport yachts. Of all these, Dragon may be the most visually spectacular of N&L's new sport yacht models. She's also fast; easily claiming a top speed over 34 knots.
