The yacht's stunning Zen-inspired interiors were built by Sinot Exclusive Yacht Design, and De Voogt Naval Architects looked after the naval design as per Yacht Bible .

At the 2019 World Superyacht Honors, Pi won awards for Motor Yacht of the Year and Best Displacement Motor Yacht Between 1,500GT and 1,999GT, according to Luxury launches . The finishing touch that provided Howard Schultz with a winner to sail was the flawless construction quality of the Feadship.
The yacht can accommodate up to 12 guests in 16 opulent guest rooms with a staff of 18 people. She has a luxurious spa and a pool with a glass bottom, among other features. The comfortable and stylish Pi features several distinctive features, including a spectacular spiral staircase connecting three floors and a large sitting area with a sofa accommodating eight people. She also boasts of a helipad and a garage.

An aluminum superstructure supports the Pi's teak decks and steel hull, and she weighs around 1,592 tons. She comfortably sails at 16 knots and can attain a top speed of 18 knots thanks to dual diesel MTU 16-cylinder 2,700hp engines operating at 1800rpm. At-anchor stabilizers on Pi offer outstanding levels of comfort. Her freshwater tanks have a capacity of about 33,168 liters. She was constructed under the standards of the Lloyds Register classification society.
The vessel's external lines stand out for their inventive use of structural glass with a twofold curvature. The ship, which Jarko Jammsen created as his first superyacht project, has four decks ideally suited for guests' relaxation and entertainment. The big main deck aft can be set up for a casual setting, outdoor dining, or a lot of sunbathing. Additionally, a large upper deck behind the ship connects to the flush foredeck through side walkways. The best location on board for viewing the surroundings is the sundeck above.
