Superyacht Forever One arrived in Kiel, after her recent refit at Kusch Yachts shipyard in Wewelsfleth. Forever One was built in 2014 at ISA Yachts in Italy. For a 55 meter yacht she is very voluminous with 1050GT. The yacht will be cruising the Baltic Sea again. Last year she already started a Northern Europe tour with visits in Amsterdam, Hamburg and many more ports. She is at the moment moored in the heart of Kiel. As you can see it’s not the typical berth for a superyacht but Kiel is a great starting point for your cruise in the Baltic Sea.
St David ist eine 60 Meter lange Superyacht, gebaut in den italienischen Hallen von Benetti in Viareggio im Jahr 2008. Die Yacht erreicht eine Höchstgeschwindigkeit von 16 Knoten und gleitet bei 13 Knoten. Das sportliche Exterieur zeichnete Andrew Winch, ebenso wie das klassische Interieur. Dunkle Hölzer dominieren die Kabinenbereiche, während sich im Saloon und an Deck helle Töne finden lassen. Sechs Kabinen stehen Eigner und Gästen zur Verfügung. Diese sind aufgeteilt in eine Master, eine VIP, sowie vier Double-/Twinkabinen. Ein Highlight der Yacht befindet sich in der Masterkabine. Sie erstreckt sich über 1,5 Etagen mit einer erhöhten Position für das Bett, wodurch man über die Bordwände schauen kann und somit eine fantastische Aussicht über den Bug hat. Im Eignerbüro ist die Liebe zum Detail sichtbar, statt Hölzern wurden die Wände mit ettlichen Büchern verkleidet, hinter diesen befindet sich Stauraum und eine Tagestoilette. Sobald man einmal die Wendeltreppe an Bord bestaunen durfte ist man direkt begeistert. Blickt man in Richtung des Himmels so sieht man den Glasboden des Jacuzzis auf dem Sonnendeck. Blickt man von Oben herab, so schaut man auf einen großen Globus welcher das Tageslicht reflektiert. Das große Sonnendeck ist für entspannte Stunden in der Sonne designt. Es gibt viele Liegeflächen und einem Jacuzzi mit einer einzigartigen Aussicht über die Yacht. Neben einer Bar auf dem Sonnendeck gibt es auch eine weiter auf dem Hauptdeck. Das Essen wird für Chartergäste meistens auf dem Oberdeck serviert, dort befindet sich ein großer Speisetisch im Freien, welcher trotzdem geschützt wird durch das Sonnendeck. Es befinden sich zwei Tender sowie zwei Jetskis im Heck der Yacht. Ein 7,5 Meter langer Limousine Tender und ein 4,7 Meter langer Crew Tender.
Die Yacht wurde zuletzt im Jahr 2017 überarbeitete und steht aktuell zum Verkauf. Sie ist eine beliebte Charteryacht und wird dieses Jahr unter anderem noch den Hafen von Abu Dhabi während dem Formel 1 Event schmücken.
St David steht für einen Preis von 26.250.000€ bei West Nautical zu Verkauf. Wer eine Woche auf der Superyacht verbringen möchte muss mit mindestens 240.000€ rechnen.
Auch dieses Jahr war ich wieder auf der Monaco Yacht Show unterwegs. Neben einigen Yachtbesichtigungen hatte ich in diesem Jahr auch die Chance eine Tender-Tour durch die Bucht von Monaco zu machen. Hier gibt es nun eine erste Galerie mit Eindrücken aus Monaco. Der nächste Beitrag wird im Laufe der kommenden Woche veröffentlicht. Er wird sich mit einer 60 Meter Yacht befassen. Weitere Informationen werden folgen. Seid gespannt! Schaut auch auf meinem Instagramprofil: Superyachtblog vorbei, dort werden regelmäßig Bilder von der Show gepostet. Ebenso wie auf Facebook: Superyachtblog

Which yacht could this be? More information in the upcoming post!
Early morning on Project 783 (ex. Flying Fox), Nobiskrug
Heesen Yachts is proud to announce the delivery of YN 17755, formerly known as Project Alida. Her new Owners christened her Laurentia.
Laurentia combines efficiency, performance and style in a design package of 740GT, with elegant yet muscular clean lines by Omega Architects. This steel-hulled motor yacht sets a new standard in superyacht performance.
During the sea trials, which were held in the North Sea at the beginning of August in moderate sea conditions, Laurentia exceeded her contractual speed and reached a top speed of 16.6 knots. The vessel proved to be highly responsive, accepting steering commands immediately. The use of large rudders in conjunction with a powerful steering unit makes for a very quick reaction, as does the high pitch of the propellers. The overall effect instils great confidence in the captain when maneuvering in strong wind conditions.
The Owner appointed Ramon Alonso at RADYCA, a Miami-based design firm, to create an interior design that promotes luxury, relaxation and entertainment throughout the yacht.
“The objective was to create a clean and simple, yet sophisticated, interior that evokes tranquility in a relaxed and elegant atmosphere,“ comments Alonso. A consistent use of neutral hues is found in open-grain white oak and different tones of wengé, taupe and grey leathers, wool carpets, and light textured suedes. White Arabescato and Grecale brown marble slabs emphasize the purity of the design. The loose furniture was carefully selected from various European and American brands and each piece was customized to fit perfectly and adapt to the interior scheme. Hand-stitched leather panels and accents play in contrast with the light suedes and dark wengé wood in different tones and finishes.
Laurentia is a fantastic new addition to the fast growing Heesen fleet and will turn heads wherever she cruises!
PRESS RELEASE by Heesen Yachts, Picture by Dick Holthuis
Seven launched by Perini Navi. Picture: Perini Navi/Giuliano Sargentini
On Saturday, 5 August Perini Navi, world leader in the design and build of superyachts, launched the S/Y Seven. The 60m aluminium ketch is the 62nd Perini Navi yacht to be built and the third in the successful 60m series which includes S/Y Seahawk and S/Y Perseus^3 (Perseus^3 spotted in Sardinia by Superyachtblog).
The launch and christening ceremony took place at Perini Navi’s headquarters in Viareggio in the presence of the owners, together with their family and guests, as well as Perini Navi’s shareholders, employees and valued suppliers.
S/Y Seven is a collaboration between the Perini Navi design team and naval architect Ron Holland. World-renowned Italian architects, Dante O. Benini & Partners, designed the stunning interiors of this 60m yacht.
S/Y Seven once again showcases Perini Navi’s commitment to deliver the most innovative and technological solutions for superyacht owners, particularly as it relates to performance, ease of sailing and comfort onboard.
“The launch of S/Y Seven is a moment of great joy,” declared Lamberto Tacoli, Chairman and CEO of Perini Navi. “The realisation of this project represents an important achievement for the shipyard, in which we worked in close synergy with the Owners. This is also the first launch since Perini Navi entered into the partnership agreement with the Tabacchi family and is testament to how the company has kept its core values intact, while at the same time strengthening the brand’s position as a world leader in Italian excellence.”
S/Y Seven will have her international debut at the Monaco Yacht Show from 27-30 September.
Project Antares by Heesen Yachts Picture: Dick Holthuis/Heesen Yachts
Heesen Yachts is pleased to report that on May 14, 2017 the joining of the hull and superstructure of Project Antares, and the installation of her two MTU 8V4000 M63 engines, took place at the facility in Oss.
Project Antares is a 55m steel-hulled FDHF vessel that was sold just over four weeks ago to a very experienced American yachtsman. She will have some special features to carry out her role as mothership to the owner’s sport fishing fleet, such as the possibility to re-fuel and re-charge two sport fishing boats, allowing for several days out at sea.
Moreover, Project Antares boasts a major difference from her equally beautiful sister ships: an owner’s apartment that is 30 per cent larger, having been extended from 62 to 80 sqm.
Italian designers Francesco Paszkowski and Margherita Casprini are now working closely with the owner and his team to personalise the interior design of his new 740GT vessel.
“After the meeting with the client, with whom we immediately had good intellectual connection, we are working on the existing interior design to improve the owner’s 80-sqm apartment, the lobby and the sky lounge, to fully match his life style and taste.” Says Paszkowski. “We are going to propose some layout changes as well as new material and finishes. For the latter we are going to do detailed research into select materials that will add lavish luxury to the interiors. We are confident that the shipyard and their highly talented team from Heesen Yachts Interiors, will be able—once again—to perfectly craft what we have designed.”
Project Antares has now entered the outfitting phase and will be ready for delivery to her owners in November 2018.
AMELS has launched the brand new AMELS 180 named LILI. The Limited Editions yacht is nearing her on-time and on-budget delivery at the Dutch luxury yacht builder’s yard in the Netherlands. IMPERIAL acted as broker for the sale, Owner’s Representative and Construction Supervisor.
Despite the fast delivery just over 12 months after her sale in May 2016, LILI is a highly customised Limited Editions yacht with a unique Tim Heywood exterior styling and custom extended Sun Deck. The very successful colour scheme of Castle Tan and Jet Black create a charming and elegant look that perfectly complements the luxurious interiors created by the Owner’s choice of interior designer Laura Sessa.
“The AMELS 180 has proven highly popular on the superyacht market and LILI will add to that with her many unique customisations and beautiful colour scheme,” comments Rose Damen, AMELS Commercial Director. “She is an exceptionally high quality yacht that will no doubt create many happy memories for her Owners and guests. Once again, working with IMPERIAL has been very smooth and productive and that shows in the end result.”
Julia Stewart, IMPERIAL Director, says: “She is another striking project jointly made with an experienced team and very talented people, confirming our strong and durable links with AMELS over the last eight years. With LILI, IMPERIAL delivers a new superyacht option for high-end luxury journeys at sea with versatile accommodation, Dutch quality and superior level of equipment. We would like to thank all the teams involved in this project, who realised a challenging project with precise deadlines.”
The high level of customisation on board LILI includes:
* The Sun Deck has been extended by 3 metres to 28 metres (92 ft) in length in collaboration with exterior designer Tim Heywood – creating a huge outdoor luxury space of almost 175 square metres (1,900 sq ft)
* An extra-large 4-metre long Sun Deck pool (7,000 litres) featuring counter current jets for swimming
* A Bridge Deck Owner’s Suite and extended aft deck
* On Main Deck, the port and starboard folding bulwarks and sliding doors to the dining room create a light and airy connection to the sea
* Main Deck features a large VIP Suite with a private folding balcony
Heesen Yachts is pleased to announce the sale of YN 17755 (aka Project Alida).
The client, an experienced boater, was introduced to the shipyard by Barin Cardenas of The New Yachts Company, a boutique firm dedicated to new construction, based in Fort Lauderdale, who worked closely with Thom Conboy of Heesen Yachts USA.
Project Alida is a 55m Fast Displacement, steel-hulled motoryacht that combines efficiency, performance and elegance in a design package of 740GT.
Omega Architects created an exterior design that emphasises the indoor-outdoor connection thanks to glass insertions in the bulwarks and the floor-to-ceiling windows in the sky lounge.
Vertical windows on the main deck, together with an original „shark tooth“ design detail on the overhang of the wheelhouse, provide Project Alida with a bold and distinctive character.
The clean and muscular exterior lines without fashion plates and structural support have been cleverly engineered and perfectly executed by Heesen in-house experts, so nothing comes between the guests and the breathtaking views.
RADYCA, a Miami based design firm, is in charge of the interior styling while working closely with the shipyard to ensure that the client’s taste is incorporated into the space, creating a sophisticated, tailor-made and unique experience.
SIMPLICITY, WARMTH, and COMFORT through the use of select materials and a high level of craftsmanship, are the key ingredients in the creation of Alida’s refined interior. The overall design is for an owner who understands luxury, relaxation and entertainment while yachting.
Contrast is achieved by the consistent use of neutral hues found in open-grain white oak and different tones of wengé, taupe and grey leathers, wool carpets, and light textured suedes. White Arabescato and Grecale brown marble slabs emphasize the purity of the design.
Guests will be luxuriously accommodated in six staterooms: five guest cabins on the lower deck – including a full beam VIP – and the master suite traditionally located on the main deck forward.
With the tenders stored on the forward deck, a beach club is set into the lazarette that offers owners and guests a fantastic place to relax close to the water.
However, Project Alida’s beauty also extends below the waterline. Thanks to the progressive hull design devised by van Oossanen Naval Architects and implemented by Heesen in-house engineering team, Project Alida offers frugal fuel consumption coupled with a remarkable range of 4.500nm at 13 knots, while her top speed reaches 16 knots. At 12 knots her range becomes ever more impressive reaching 5.400 nm. Combining magnificent comfort with optimised efficiency throughout the speed spectrum, she sets a new standard in superyacht performance. Project Alida is a true blue-water vessel with Dutch pedigree.
Project Alida will undergo intensive sea trials in the North Sea prior to delivery to her new owners in time for cruising in July 2017.

Axis (Mitte), sowie die Amels Yacht Elixir (2.v.l.)
Axis ist eine 55 Meter lange Support Yacht von der niederländischen Werft Damen. Gebaut wurde sie im Jahr 2016 und in demselben Jahr auch das erste Mal der Öffentlichkeit präsentiert. Ausgestellt wurde sie auf den Yacht Messen in Monaco, sowie auf dem amerikanischen Markt in Fort Lauderdale, wo sie allerdings noch unter dem Namen Fast and Furious bekannt war. Die bereits sehr erfolgreiche Yacht Support Reihe wurde mit dem Modell YS 5009 bereits auf fünf Modelle erweitert. Damit reicht stehen unter anderem Support Schiffe von 43 Meter (YS 4008) bis zu 90 Meter (YS 9016) Länge zur Auswahl. Die in Monaco ausgestellte Yacht erreichte eine Höchstgeschwindigkeit von 22 Knoten und reist mit 16 Knoten, dabei hat sie eine Reichweite von 5.000 nautischen Meilen. Eine siebenköpfige Crew hält an Bord alles im Auge und bereitet die Toys und Tender für ihre Einsätze vor. An Deck befinden sich 225m² Fläche die für Tender, von Beibooten über ein UBoot, bis hin zu einem Hubschrauber, verwendet werden kann. Während der Monaco Yacht Show befand sich zudem ein Tauchcontainer an Bord. Der eigene Schiffskran kann bis zu 12 Tonnen in einem Radius von 5 Metern heben und senken.
Wer sich sein eigenes Yacht Support Schiff bauen lassen möchte, kann aus fast unzähligen Möglichkeiten den Platz an Deck nutzen. So ist es zum Beispiel möglich sich nicht nur ein voll zertifiziertes Hubschrauber Landedeck zu installieren, sondern es besteht auch die Möglichkeit einen Hubschrauberhangar zu verbauen.
