Freire Shipyard

Though known more for its commercial vessels than its luxury yachts, Freire Shipyard—based in Vigo, Spain—was the perfect place to secretly build and launch what would otherwise have been a high-profile project. H2 Yacht Design and Moore Design dreamed up her exteriors styling and her interior is by Mark Berryman.

Located in Vigo, Spain, the Freire Shipyard, established by Paulino Freire in 1895, specializes in commercial shipbuilding (tugs, fishing boats, patrol vessels, etc.). Little wonder, then, that this expedition-style vessel first managed to avoid scrutiny. Still, the very private Pegaso eventually had to take to the water, which meant that yacht enthusiasts everywhere would try to find out about her.
