The 85-metre yacht EYE (ex ACE) is geared towards family life. The onboard experience is centred around the upper deck as the main social gathering space, with circulation intelligently designed to facilitate smooth service while preserving the privacy of owner and guests. Andrew Winch also gave EYE a very unusual profile: the two "eyes" are both a design feature as well as a sheltered balcony. The interior, also by Andrew Winch, is a glamorous escape with no compromise. EYE is a truly bespoke yacht that defies design convention and symbolises engineering excellence.

85m Lurssen Yacht ACE Listed for Sale
By George Bains
Eastwind Yachts has been announced as Sales Central Agent for the 85m Lurssen yacht ACE , which is listed for a figure of €145,000,000. Ace has been joined on the market by 67.15m support vessel Garcon, which is asking for €27,000,000.
Delivered in 2012, Ace is a statement of beauty created by the team at legendary German shipyard Lurssen . Lurssen isn’t the only industry giant to have been involved in her development, with her breath-taking exterior profile and contemporary interiors designed by Andrew Winch . Winch’s British-based studio oversaw Ace’s impeccable styling, which certainly hasn’t held back when in comes to exciting onboard amenities.
Around the 85-metre superyacht there are an abundance of facilities to help guests unwind and indulge. She boasts one of the world’s most lavish spas complete with a steam room, massage room, plunge pool and exquisite Roman styled Jacuzzi. Elsewhere, the yacht’s 10 guests will find an extensive beach club, fully equipped gym and even a private movie theatre.
Ace, however, is perhaps more synonymous with adventure despite the luxurious setting she provides for her guests. Ace became one of the first superyachts to have an accompanying support vessel when 67.15m Garcon was commissioned. Garcon was built by Dutch shipyard Damen, pioneers of superyacht support vessels, and she became the largest in the shipyard’s Sea Axe line.
Garcon has been used to compliment the luxury of Ace, carrying a vast array of toys and tenders to ensure that guests are treated to an all-round adventure. Providing exhilarating experiences away from the mothership, Garcon has ample storage both on her spacious deck and pragmatic onboard storage areas. 21 crew members are housed onboard Garcon, available to help guests to get the most out of their time on the water. It is a great part down to Garcon that Ace is able to free up so much of her capacity to providing opulent social and entertainment spaces for her guests, while still having access to such a wide variety of toys.
Both of the superyachts are available for a combined €172,000,000 through Eastwind Yachts , and they are currently located in the Caribbean. A dynamic duo, Ace and Garcon make an eyebrow-raising addition to the brokerage market so early in the year.

Cruising the Moskva River: A short guide to boat trips in Russia’s capital
There’s hardly a better way to absorb Moscow’s atmosphere than on a ship sailing up and down the Moskva River. While complicated ticketing, loud music and chilling winds might dampen the anticipated fun, this checklist will help you to enjoy the scenic views and not fall into common tourist traps.
How to find the right boat?
There are plenty of boats and selecting the right one might be challenging. The size of the boat should be your main criteria.
Plenty of small boats cruise the Moskva River, and the most vivid one is this yellow Lay’s-branded boat. Everyone who has ever visited Moscow probably has seen it.
This option might leave a passenger disembarking partially deaf as the merciless Russian pop music blasts onboard. A free spirit, however, will find partying on such a vessel to be an unforgettable and authentic experience that’s almost a metaphor for life in modern Russia: too loud, and sometimes too welcoming. Tickets start at $13 (800 rubles) per person.
Bigger boats offer smoother sailing and tend to attract foreign visitors because of their distinct Soviet aura. Indeed, many of the older vessels must have seen better days. They are still afloat, however, and getting aboard is a unique ‘cultural’ experience. Sometimes the crew might offer lunch or dinner to passengers, but this option must be purchased with the ticket. Here is one such option offering dinner for $24 (1,490 rubles).
If you want to travel in style, consider Flotilla Radisson. These large, modern vessels are quite posh, with a cozy restaurant and an attentive crew at your service. Even though the selection of wines and food is modest, these vessels are still much better than other boats.
Surprisingly, the luxurious boats are priced rather modestly, and a single ticket goes for $17-$32 (1,100-2,000 rubles); also expect a reasonable restaurant bill on top.
How to buy tickets?
Women holding photos of ships promise huge discounts to “the young and beautiful,” and give personal invitations for river tours. They sound and look nice, but there’s a small catch: their ticket prices are usually more than those purchased online.
“We bought tickets from street hawkers for 900 rubles each, only to later discover that the other passengers bought their tickets twice as cheap!” wrote (in Russian) a disappointed Rostislav on a travel company website.
Nevertheless, buying from street hawkers has one considerable advantage: they personally escort you to the vessel so that you don’t waste time looking for the boat on your own.
Prices start at $13 (800 rubles) for one ride, and for an additional $6.5 (400 rubles) you can purchase an unlimited number of tours on the same boat on any given day.
Flotilla Radisson has official ticket offices at Gorky Park and Hotel Ukraine, but they’re often sold out.
Buying online is an option that might save some cash. Websites such as this offer considerable discounts for tickets sold online. On a busy Friday night an online purchase might be the only chance to get a ticket on a Flotilla Radisson boat.
This website (in Russian) offers multiple options for short river cruises in and around the city center, including offbeat options such as ‘disco cruises’ and ‘children cruises.’ This other website sells tickets online, but doesn’t have an English version. The interface is intuitive, however.
Buying tickets online has its bad points, however. The most common is confusing which pier you should go to and missing your river tour.
“I once bought tickets online to save with the discount that the website offered,” said Igor Shvarkin from Moscow. “The pier was initially marked as ‘Park Kultury,’ but when I arrived it wasn’t easy to find my boat because there were too many there. My guests had to walk a considerable distance before I finally found the vessel that accepted my tickets purchased online,” said the man.
There are two main boarding piers in the city center: Hotel Ukraine and Park Kultury . Always take note of your particular berth when buying tickets online.
Where to sit onboard?
Even on a warm day, the headwind might be chilly for passengers on deck. Make sure you have warm clothes, or that the crew has blankets ready upon request.
The glass-encased hold makes the tour much more comfortable, but not at the expense of having an enjoyable experience.
Getting off the boat requires preparation as well. Ideally, you should be able to disembark on any pier along the way. In reality, passengers never know where the boat’s captain will make the next stop. Street hawkers often tell passengers in advance where they’ll be able to disembark. If you buy tickets online then you’ll have to research it yourself.
There’s a chance that the captain won’t make any stops at all and will take you back to where the tour began, which is the case with Flotilla Radisson. The safest option is to automatically expect that you’ll return to the pier where you started.

85m Lürssen yacht Eye (ex Ace) transformed after multi-year rebuild
The 85-metre Lürssen superyacht Eye (ex Ace ) has been photographed for the first time in the Port of Gibraltar following a multi-year rebuild that has left her unrecognisable.
The superyacht checked into refit repair yard MB92 in spring 2022, likely following her sale to a new owner. She was renamed Eye in January 2024 and emerged from the yard just last month.
Details of the rebuild have been kept tightly under wraps, but recent sightings confirm a complete exterior overhaul – including the removal of her trademark superstructure arches and "eye" balconies.
Eye was delivered by the German yard in 2012. The yacht is known to accommodate 10 guests across five cabins, with each cabin decorated with different themes including Art Deco, classical, contemporary nautical and French Provençal. The master cabin sits on the main deck aft and benefits from a private terrace.
Onboard highlights include a cinema and a gym on the main deck, while a library with a fireplace, a piano and a games table can be found on the upper deck. However, the extent of the work done on Eye 's interiors is yet to be revealed.
This follows the 91.5-metre Oceanco Tranquility 's light refit at MB92 last year .
The three-month stint left her in good condition for the most recent summer charter season and included a number of cosmetic upgrades.
