AvA Yachts is happy to announce a construction update on the progress of M/Y Infinity Nine, the 2nd of Ava's Kando series being built for Tony Parker, NBA Basketball Star.

Construction is going on at full speed. The hull and superstructure are now complete with the final coating of the hull well under way.

All major equipment has been delivered and installed and the interior fitout has begun in earnest.

An extended swim platform at the stern, a full beam master with floor to ceiling windows and a gym on the upper deck, and some radical interior design styling touches are features which will make this yacht a standout launch of 2021.

Delivery of M/Y Infinity Nine has now been scheduled for the end of March 2021.

Mr Parker has made several visits to the yard this year with his build advisory team. He and his team are happy with progress and are excited and looking forward to the delivery of M/Y Infinity Nine.

Atilla Küçükdiker, Chairman and Founder of Ava Yachts said "it is always a pleasure to welcome Mr Parker and his team to the yard and for us to be able to show in-process the detail, care, attention and quality that is the hallmark of an Ava Yachts yacht. We are proud and confident that Mr Parker will have the yacht of his dreams and that M/Y Infinity Nine will be a pleasurable ownership experience for him and his family".
