SAMURAI Yacht – The Award Nominee $40M Superyacht

The SAMURAI yacht was built in 2016 by the Turkish shipyard Alia Yacht and delivered later that same year.

She is the largest yacht built by Alia, and was nominated by The ShowBoats Design Awards for Best Naval Architecture in 2017. 

SAMURAI yacht interior

The SAMURAI yacht interior was styled by British design house RWD (Redman Whiteley Dixon).

An exotic Asian-inspired décor and a creative combination of neutral and bold shades of colour are what decorates the inside of the vessel. 

SAMURAI features a stylish and artistic interior that can be seen throughout the yacht, especially in the main saloon, which is wrapped in panoramic windows to enjoy the view. 

She accommodates 12 guests in six beautiful cabins, comprising a master suite and four guest cabins located on the main deck and one guest cabin on the bridge deck. 

The owner’s suite features a lounge area and architectural skylight. She can also carry 15 crew members on board. 

The SAMURAI yacht includes some special features to make the experience on the superyacht even more enjoyable, like a jacuzzi, foredeck seating with a table, air conditioning, a beach club and a very well-equipped gym. 

She also has a Portuguese bridge, a sheltered sun deck, a wet bar and a barbecue. 

Her toys include jet skis, sea bobs, kayaks, stand-up paddle boards, and snorkelling sets. She is also equipped with two tenders. 

SAMURAI yacht exterior

The SAMURAI yacht features exterior design by Omega Architects and naval architecture by Van Oossanen & Associates. 

The vessel’s beautifully clean and horizontal lines give this superyacht a modern and bold aesthetic. 

She has an aluminium superstructure and a steel hull, the latter was built with the Fast Displacement Hull Form, developed by Van Oossanen Naval Architects. 

SAMURAI yacht specifications

The SAMURAI is a 60-meter yacht with an 11.44m beam, a 3.35 draft and a column of 1,029 GT.  

Powered by 2 MTU engines, she cruises at 15 knots and can reach a maximum speed of 21 knots with a range of up to 4,250 nautical miles. She can store 114,300 litres of fuel while cruising at 12 knots. 

She is currently not listed for sale, but her last known asking price was around $41.6 million (360,900,000 EUR). She has an annual running cost of $4.5 million approximately.

The SAMURAI yacht is available for charter and her main cruising regions are the Mediterranean and the Caribbean, in places like France, Italy, Monaco and the Bahamas.

However, she offers some hot spots such as Amalfi Coast, Corsica, French Riviera and Sardinia. 

The weekly rates depend on the season, but it usually goes from 425,000 to 469,000 EUR plus expenses.

The superyacht world is speculating that Mark Zuckerberg just bought this 118-meter boat

• Oops! Something went wrong. Please try again later. More content below

The 118-meter superyacht Launchpad made her maiden voyage last week.

The yacht world is speculating that her owner is Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg.

Here's what we know about the luxury vessel.

In the world of superyachts , privacy is the most valuable asset. It can be next to impossible to discern the details of a superyacht transaction — and that's particularly true if the vessel in question is worth nine figures.

Yet some in the boat blogging world are speculating that Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg is the new owner of Launchpad, a megayacht currently moored in Fort Lauderdale, Florida after she made her maiden voyage from Gibraltar to St Maarten last week. Launchpad clocks in at 118 meters long, about nine meters shorter than Jeff Bezos' superyacht Koru .

The transaction could not be confirmed, with yacht world insiders declining to share what they know and representatives for Zuckerberg not responding to a request for comment from Business Insider. In the past, reports about Zuckerberg owning superyacht Ulysses have proven false.

"It is Feadship's standard policy to never divulge any information about our yachts with reference to ownership, costs, or delivery, etc," Feadship, the ship's builder, wrote to BI. "Whether it is an 18-meter Feadship from the 1960s or a 118-meter Feadship from the 21st century, we do not share private information."

But Zuckerberg's name has been connected to Launchpad for a few months now, beginning in December when reports swirled that he visited Feadship's shipyard in the Netherlands.

Then, earlier in March, yachting bloggers like eSysman SuperYachts and Autoevolution started speculating that he officially snagged the boat, originally built for a sanctioned Russian businessman, at a $300 million price tag. (While that's a seemingly huge amount, it's still less than 0.2% of Zuckerberg's $177 billion net worth.)

Another clue that might point to US ownership is that the yacht bears the flag of the Marshall Islands, a US territory and commonplace for American buyers to register their ships, according to public marine tracking.

If Zuckerberg were to have bought Launchpad, he would join a cohort of superyacht-owning tech billionaires . Along with Bezos, the likes of Oracle cofounder Larry Ellison and Google cofounders Sergey Brin and Larry Page have purchased impressive boats with even more impressive amenities.

SuperYacht Times , an industry publication and intelligence platform, has some of the best images of the yacht. Photos show a swimming pool on her main deck and a large helipad.

While less is known of the interior, a vessel of her size can likely sleep dozens of guests and crew and may have amenities like an expansive gym where Zuckerberg could practice his jiu-jitsu or a spa with a massage area. We suspect there's also space for plenty of toys — which could include his viral hydrofoil foil .

Do you have any details about Launchpad or any other superyachts? Email reporter Madeline Berg at [email protected].

15 Extraordinary Superyachts Setting Sail In 2024

Posted: March 19, 2024 | Last updated: March 19, 2024

Breathtaking dream boats launching this year

Ready to discover the ultimate in nautical eye candy?

With the largest-ever superyacht poised to grace the high seas – and several other spectacular launches on the horizon – 2024 is tipped to be a truly unforgettable year for fans of floating palaces.

Click or scroll through to jump aboard the most hotly anticipated superyachts scheduled for delivery this year, from state-of-the-art explorers to a record-breaking model that's expected to cost a staggering $600 million. 

All dollar amounts in US dollars.

Custom YS 75 Hybrid: Cost unknown

Ushering in a new generation of high-end eco explorers, this expedition vessel from Damen Yachting in the Netherlands boasts a hybrid propulsion system for zero-emission cruising. For the uninitiated, a hybrid propulsion system uses two or more forms of propulsion, such as a biofuel or diesel engine combined with an electric machine.

As buyers become increasingly aware of environmental concerns, naval architects and yachtbuilders are devising green-leaning vessels that don't compromise on style, luxury, or performance. Damen is among the firms leading the way.

Designed by innovative London studio Michael Leach Design and engineered in-house, the 247-foot Custom YS 75 Hybrid has cutting-edge features, including a touch-and-go helipad and a crane for deploying tenders.

It can accommodate 24 crew members and up to 12 guests across six staterooms and boasts plush entertaining areas.

Due to launch early this year, the innovative vessel will also be the first private superyacht equipped with commercial-grade cultivation pods to grow vegetables, further adding to its eco credentials. As for the price tag? Damen is keeping it firmly under wraps...

Blue Marlin and Custom 78: Cost unknown

Admiral Yachts, owned by The Italian Sea Group, is delivering two sensational superyachts this year, according to Boat International : the 256-foot Custom 78 a nd 253-foot Blue Marlin (pictured).

Sleek and elegant, Blue Marlin's exterior and interior are both the handiwork of prestigious Dutch studio Sinot Yacht Architecture and Design.

The superyacht accommodates 12 guests in six staterooms and offers them a wealth of amenities, including a 19-foot swimming pool, a private spa, and a helipad. Its more sustainable credentials include a lower-emission diesel-electric propulsion system.

Precious little is known about Admiral's super-secretive Custom 78 project, as noted by Boat International .

It's known that the superyacht's exterior has been designed by Igor Lobanov, the Barcelona-based Russian nautical designer who's renowned for his futuristic, mega-streamlined creations. (An example of his work is shown here.)

Admiral has yet to disclose the price of either  Custom 78 or  Blue Marlin .

Project Toro: Cost unknown

Türkiye's Turquoise Yachts is getting ready to sign off the 259-foot Project Toro . It's actually running behind schedule and was supposed to be delivered last year.

With the exterior and interiors designed by British studio Harrison Eidsgaard – which is behind some of the world's most luxurious private jets, in addition to its portfolio of yachts – the end result will undoubtedly be a feast for the eyes.

Project Toro's neoclassical exterior is a real head-turner, while its interiors – which apparently include "a huge Neptune Lounge," to quote Super Yacht Times – have been described by the design team as "the definition of serenity and calm."

The fully customized beauty, which was sold in 2021 for an undisclosed sum, can comfortably fit 14 guests in its seven staterooms, as well as providing space for 21 crew members. Amenities onboard include a beauty salon, gym, and swimming pool.

Al Reem: Cost unknown

Formally known as  Silence , Al Reem is getting its finishing touches at the Bilgin shipyard in Türkiye's capital, Istanbul.

Spanning 263 feet, the superyacht showcases Bilgin's signature style – think razor-sharp exterior lines and a super-slender profile – with naval architecture by Turkish studio Unique Yacht Design. It's the third unit of Bilgin's 263 Series and the most advanced of the trio.

Silent by name, silent by nature: the superyacht was sold to a mystery owner in 2022 and the selling price hasn't been revealed. But it won't have come cheap, that's for sure.

Dreamed up by London's H2 Yacht Design, the modern interiors of the boat whisper quiet luxury. The eight suites (including three VIP cabins) can collectively accommodate up to 12 guests, and there's space for 18 crew members. Al Reem's amenities are top-notch too, with the beach club, gym, and movie theater just some of the standout features.

Project Vento: Cost unknown

Just weeks after Project Toro was sold in 2021, Turquoise Yachts found a buyer for Project Vento . As is the case with Project Toro , the identity of the owner and the price tag have not been divulged.

At 285 feet long, Project Vento is the largest superyacht ever built by Turquoise, with the company teaming up with long-time collaborator London's H2 Yacht Design to work on the boat's esthetics. The result? A distinctive two-tone white and blue exterior with soft, flowing lines.

The interiors are just as eye-catching, with the superyacht boasting a wealth of features.

For the billionaire who has everything, there's a helipad that can also be used as an outdoor movie theater and basketball court. But the pièce de résistance  has to be the incredible 21-foot glass-sided swimming pool on the lowest deck.

Project 1012: Cost unknown

With the venture cloaked in mystery, Feadship hasn't released any renders of Project 1012 and has yet to disclose information about the team behind it.

Based on images of the vessel undergoing trials in December 2022, Megayacht News has speculated that it could be traditional in design and may feature a beach club. However, these details won't be confirmed until the superyacht is delivered sometime this year – so watch this space...

Project 1012 is another Feadship superyacht that's slated for delivery in 2024.

The shipyard is being particularly secretive about the vessel, with details extremely sketchy. While we know that the superyacht is 300 feet long, further information about the vessel is next to non-existent.

Project JASSJ: Cost unknown

Spanning 338 feet, Project JASSJ  is the third-largest of the show-stopping superyachts German shipbuilder Lürssen is delivering in 2024.

Sold in 2021 to an anonymous buyer for an undisclosed price, the superyacht features exterior and interior design by RWD Design. American firm Moran Yacht & Ship is overseeing the build.

Fantastically spacious, Project JASSJ can accommodate 22 guests in 11 staterooms.

Lürssen isn't holding back when it comes to amenities, promising an "industry-leading" beach club, as well as a swimming pool, deck Jacuzzi, top-end gym, and elevator, along with a state-of-the-art helipad and side-opening tender garage.

105 Explorer (NB-729): Cost unknown

Hot on the heels of delivering the 367-foot Renaissance (NB-724) , the largest ever yacht crafted in Spain (and shown here in all its glory), Freire's Galician shipyard is set to complete another whopper:  105 Explorer (NB-729) , which comes in at 344 feet.

Renaissance  has been described by Burgess Yachts as a "temple of leisure" and "sanctum of tranquillity." But 105 Explorer (NB-729) is more about adventure than relaxation...

The superyacht may be kitted out with all the classic creature comforts but, as a roving expedition vessel, the emphasis is on performance rather than amenities.

Reflecting other high-end shipbuilders, Freire has chosen to keep the price of the superyacht a secret in the interest of client confidentiality.

Ace 21: Cost $150 million

Ace 21 is one of four show-stopping superyachts that Germany's Lürssen is delivering this year.

Extending over 256 feet end to end, the glamorous vessel spans five decks – the superyachts we've covered so far have just four – and has been designed to provide five-star relaxation in the world's most idyllic locations. It can accommodate up to 14 guests and a crew of 24.

Lürssen, which has taken care of the naval architecture, has reportedly designed the superyacht so it can cruise closer to shorelines and dock alongside paradise-style beaches and coves.

Ace 21 is all about relaxation – and its designated wellness zone, complete with an extensive spa, beach club, and deck Jacuzzi, combine to make it the perfect place to kick back, millionaire style.

SuperYachtFan reports the vessel was ordered by an unnamed individual who's said to be a prominent figure in the yachting world. The site pegs Ace 21 's price tag at $150 million and estimates annual running costs could stretch as high as $15 million.

Project 825: Cost $186 million

On the other hand, the asking price for Feadship's Project 825  has been revealed.

Due for delivery later in the year, the 249-foot superyacht is currently available for $186 million via Burgess Yachts.

Newly-built vessels of this size and caliber are usually custom orders, so it's rare for one to come on the market. The yacht is likely to be snapped up by a member of the super-rich elite who doesn't have the patience to wait years for a bespoke job .

The turnkey superyacht, which is getting its finishing touches at the Feadship Royal Van Lent shipyard in the Netherlands, has a slick two-tone exterior by Feadship's De Voogt Naval Architects. Its chic interiors are courtesy of Parisian design house Gilles & Boissier.

Project 825 has six staterooms with space for 12 guests, who'll have their every whim catered to by 17 crew members. Among its key selling points are an awesome glass-bottomed swimming pool and a private VIP terrace that boasts its own Jacuzzi.

There's also a sauna, deck gym, games room, and touch-and-go helipad, as well as an elevator. 

Project 712: Cost $200 million+

Feadship is practically churning out superyachts at the moment, with multiple deliveries scheduled this year. Project 712 is among them.

The 272-foot vessel features an exterior design by Feadship's De Voogt Naval Architects. Unlike the aforementioned Project 825 , however, the interiors are the work of top Dutch firm Sinot Yacht Architecture & Design, not French studio Gilles & Boissier.

Because Feadship is selling Project 825 , the price has been revealed – but Project 712 's cost is being kept firmly under wraps. Given its larger dimensions, it's likely to be even more expensive than its sister vessel.

The superyacht has space for up to 10 guests across its five cabins, according to YachtCharterFleet,  and comes equipped with a wealth of billionaire-worthy amenities, including a beach club, a gym, and a deck Jacuzzi.

Project 821: Cost $200 million+

The biggest Feadship superyacht launching this year – not to mention the largest the Dutch company has ever built – is  Project 821 , which spans 390 feet.

Feadship is being as secretive about this superyacht as it is with Project 1012 , with very few details known about it. 

The exterior design is characterized by soft lines, and there's a capacious beach club to the rear of the superyacht that leads down to a swimming platform... And that's all we know. 

Both the buyer and the price of  Project 821 are being kept hush-hush, though the superyacht is likely to have cost considerably more than the smaller Project 825 , which is on the market for $186 million.

Project Deep Blue: Cost $450 million

The second-biggest of Lürssen's four superyachts expected to launch this year, Project Deep Blue may not be delivered to its owner until 2025, according to several expert forecasts.

Details about the project are scant. Even the final length of the superyacht is uncertain, but it's believed to measure at least 427 feet.

No doubt the owner is delighted with the sophisticated exterior design, which bears similarities to Lürssen's Ahpo (now named Lady Jorgia).  

SuperYachtFan reports Project Deep Blue is expected to accommodate 24 guests and a crew of 45. It estimates the vessel would cost a staggering $450 million, with punishing yearly running costs of $45 million. The website has vaguely identified the owner as an Indian or Chinese billionaire.

Project Luminance: Cost $500 million (£392m)

The biggest of Lürssen's four show-stopping superyachts hitting the water in 2024, Project Luminance spans a whopping 475 feet, making it almost as long as three Olympic-sized swimming pools.

The superyacht was originally slated for completion last year, but the delivery date has since been put back. A masterpiece of nautical design, Project Luminance wows thanks to its exterior by Monaco-based Espen Øino and equally elegant interiors by French studio Zuretti Interior Design.

Project Luminance is estimated to accommodate as many as 24 guests across 12 opulent staterooms. Amenities are fantastically lavish, with the vessel reportedly boasting two helipads and a massive swimming pool, which comes complete with an adjacent dip pool.

Reported to cost in excess of $500 million, Project Luminance was commissioned by Rinat Akhmetov, the richest person in Ukraine.

A report in The New York Times in 2022 suggested Akhmetov was considering selling the vessel in light of Russia's invasion of his home country. Still, it appears the billionaire might have decided to keep it for now. And who can blame him?

Somnio: Cost $600 million (£470m)

Putting this year's other launches firmly in the shade, Somnio spans a colossal 728 feet, making it the largest superyacht ever built.

The world's first "yacht-liner," this $600 million floating palace for the mega-rich is billed as "the most exclusive address in the world" and will cruise the planet's iconic yachting destinations, from Monaco to French Polynesia.

Somnio features 39 luxe private residences and a wealth of "six-star" amenities, including an enormous resort-style swimming pool, premium spa, opulent movie theater, gourmet restaurants, 10,000-bottle wine cellar, and a library.

Nearing completion at Norway's Vard shipyard, the six-deck nautical extravaganza is a collaboration between Somnio, Fincantieri, and Vard, while Tillberg Design of Sweden and the UK's Winch Design have looked after the interior design.

The potential occupants of the 39 apartments are being carefully hand-picked. On offer are units with two to four bedrooms, with the option to fully customize them with the likes of a gym, personal kitchen, library, and more.

Those lucky enough to get a Somnio invite can expect to pay from $22 million to secure a cabin in the elite vessel, with service charges likely to be sky-high too.

By Katia Damborsky   21 May 2019

The 60m/198ft motor yacht SAMURAI has entered the charter market and will be available for South of France luxury yacht charters this summer.

Delivered by Turkish yard Alia Yachts in 2017, SAMURAI is an enticing blend of sleek interiors and luxurious on-board facilities.

Those looking to experience a luxury yacht charter vacation in the West Mediterranean this summer should look to luxury yacht SAMURAI to play host.

With plenty of entertainment spaces, she is well-equipped for lively social occasions as well as relaxed family holidays with children.

The motor yacht ’s interiors have been headed up the highly esteemed Redman Whitely Dixon, and her living spaces have a refined energy balanced by contemporary touches; although many of her interior features have been upgraded since these pictures were taken.

Accommodation is provided for 12 guests in six cabins, which includes a main deck owner’s suite with a skylight and a convertible sixth cabin.

She enjoys a main deck salon adjoined by an elegant formal dining arrangement, with a second salon on the upper deck that is primed for unwinding at the end of a long day exploring the many beaches and islands of the Cote d'Azur.

One of the yacht’s most striking features is her beach club, which houses a glass-encased gym, a sumptuous seating area and a fold-out swim platform. There is an additional side boarding platform that makes it easy to launch SAMURAI’s selection of toys and tenders.

Crowning the yacht, guests will enjoy the yacht’s impressive sundeck. A large jacuzzi pool is located forward, while a bar and lounging area and sunpads can be found amidships. There are two additional exterior living spaces located on the aft decks below, as well as alfresco dining.

On a private yacht charter around the French Riviera , guests can expect to discover secluded beaches lapped by turquoise sea, with countless opportunities for snorkelling and getting up close to the Mediterranean’s vibrant underwater world.

Strewn along the coast, beautiful towns and ancient villages offer a slice of rich history and culture, as well as mouthwatering seafood restaurants and glitzy beach clubs.

Superyacht von Mark Zuckerberg: Hat er sich diese gekauft?

Gehört mark zuckerberg jetzt diese superyacht insider spekulieren über einen möglichen kauf.

Link kopiert!

Die 118 Meter lange Superyacht Launchpad machte letzte Woche ihre Jungfernfahrt.

In der Jachtwelt wird spekuliert, dass ihr Besitzer Meta-CEO Mark Zuckerberg ist.

Hier ist, was wir über das Luxusschiff wissen.

In der Welt der Superyachten ist die Privatsphäre das wertvollste Gut. Es kann nahezu unmöglich sein, die Details einer Superyacht-Transaktion zu erfahren. Vor allem, wenn das betreffende Schiff einen neunstelligen Betrag wert ist.

Doch in der Welt der Bootsblogger wird jetzt spekuliert, dass Meta-CEO Mark Zuckerberg der neue Besitzer von Launchpad ist. Die Megayacht liegt derzeit in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, vor Anker, nachdem sie letzte Woche ihre Jungfernfahrt von Gibraltar nach St. Maarten absolviert hat.

Launchpad ist mit einer Länge von 118 Metern etwa neun Meter kürzer als Jeff Bezos‘ Superyacht Koru

Die Transaktion konnte nicht bestätigt werden. Insider aus der Yachtwelt lehnten es ab, ihre Kenntnisse mitzuteilen. Vertreter von Zuckerberg reagierten nicht auf eine Anfrage von Business Insider.

In der Vergangenheit haben sich Berichte über Zuckerbergs Besitz der Superyacht Ulysses als falsch erwiesen. „Es ist die Standardpolitik von Feadship, niemals Informationen über unsere Yachten in Bezug auf Eigentum, Kosten oder Lieferung usw. preiszugeben“, schrieb Feadship, der Erbauer des Schiffs, an Business Insider. „Ob es sich um ein 18 Meter langes Feadship aus den 1960er Jahren oder ein 118 Meter langes Feadship aus dem 21. Jahrhundert handelt, wir geben keine privaten Informationen weiter.“

Seit einigen Monaten bringen Leute den Namen Zuckerberg bereits mit Launchpad in Verbindung, nachdem im Dezember Berichte aufgekommen waren, dass er die Feadship-Werft in den Niederlanden besuchte.

Anfang März begannen Yacht-Blogger wie eSysman SuperYachts und Autoevolution zu spekulieren. Sie vermuteten, dass Mark Zuckerberg das Boot erworben hat. Ursprünglich war es für einen sanktionierten russischen Geschäftsmann gebaut worden und wurde offiziell für etwa 276,4 Millionen Euro erworben. (Das ist zwar eine scheinbar riesige Summe. Aber immer noch weniger als 0,2 Prozent von Zuckerbergs Nettovermögen von in etwa 163 Milliarden Euro .)

Ein weiteres Indiz, das auf ein US-Eigentum hinweisen könnte, ist die Tatsache, dass die Yacht unter der Flagge der Marshallinseln fährt. Die Marshallinseln sind ein US-Territorium, auf dem amerikanische Käufer ihre Schiffe üblicherweise registrieren lassen, wie aus öffentlichen Schiffsüberwachungs-Daten hervorgeht.

Sollte Zuckerberg Launchpad tatsächlich gekauft haben, würde er sich einer Gruppe von Tech-Milliardären anschließen, die eine Superyacht besitzen. Neben Bezos haben auch Oracle-Mitbegründer Larry Ellison und die Google-Mitbegründer Sergey Brin und Larry Page beeindruckende Boote mit einer noch beeindruckenderen Ausstattung erworben.

Die Website SuperYacht Times , eine Branchenpublikation und Informationsplattform, hat einige der besten Bilder der Yacht. Die Fotos zeigen einen Swimmingpool auf dem Hauptdeck und einen großen Hubschrauberlandeplatz. Über das Innere ist weniger bekannt. Aber ein Schiff dieser Größe kann wahrscheinlich Dutzende von Gästen und Besatzungsmitgliedern beherbergen.

Außerdem verfügt es möglicherweise über Annehmlichkeiten wie ein großes Fitnessstudio , in dem Zuckerberg sein Jiu-Jitsu trainieren könnte, oder ein Spa mit einem Massagebereich. Wir vermuten, dass es auch Platz für jede Menge Spielzeug gibt – dazu könnte auch seine virale Tragflächenfolie gehören.

Sunrise Yachts, a luxury yacht building company which is based in Turkey, has been made a main sponsor of next year’s 2011 Moscow International Boat Show (MIBS). The four-day Russian yacht show event is currently scheduled to run from April 14-17 at the Moscow’s Crocus exhibition centre.

moscow boat show

MIBS is organised by the ITE Group and it is one of Russia’s leading boat shows and is an internationally recognised superyacht event. The show covering everything from small parts and accessories to large superyacht with over 9,000 people and 178 exhibitors attended the last year show.

The Paolo Scanu-designed Sunrise 45 yacht is an ocean-going cruising yacht that was released in 2009 to much acclaim at this was the group’s first-ever model.

Sunrise Yachts was founded in 2007 by the German entrepreneur Herbert P Baum along with the French-British yacht builder Guillaume Roché. The luxury yacht group is based in Antalya, Turkey and utilises a 10,000sq m shipyard facility. Sunrise has two sheds measuring 100m (328ft) x 16m (53ft), as well as a 70m (230ft) x 16m (53ft) fully acclimatized paint shed that can accommodate new-build and refit projects up to 65m (213ft) in length and 1,200 tonnes displacement.

Along each side of the yacht-building facility, space is available for long-term sub-contractors with the latest equipment and logistics capabilities, along with air-conditioned storage, ventilation and extraction plants. The shipyard is organized as an “assembler,” based loosely on the car industry’s model, with a small, yet powerful project management team charged with running all the in-house long-term sub-contractors.
