Read MoreLuxury on the smallest scale
There’s no limit to the length luxury lines go to ensure they offer their customers the most prestige experience on the ocean, certainly when it comes to décor and style. This week a boat on a slightly smaller scale hit the market place priced at the average UK house price. This is no ordinary house […]
