Built with a steel hull and superstructure, she is one of just five of the popular 55 Steel series, with a striking shark-grey hull and powerful lines, making her easily distinguishable on the water.

Her naval architecture was penned by Van Oosannen Naval Architects, her exterior design by Omega Architects, and her interior design by the renowned superyacht designer Luca Dini, the first time the Italian designer has joined forces with the Dutch shipyard.

Reliance features vast outdoor spaces, bringing her guests ever closer to the ocean. On the lower aft deck, she features an expansive swim platform, beach club and wellness centre complete with gym equipment and sauna.
