  • Lürssen presents Coral Ocean at the Monaco Yacht Show 2016. A 22 year old Lady still looks magnificent!

    Lürssen presents Coral Ocean at the Monaco Yacht Show 2016. A 22 year old Lady still looks magnificent!

    Lürssen is proud to present a “young” lady at the forthcoming Monaco Yacht Show: Coral Ocean formerly known as Coral Island. Coral Ocean is one of the first original masterpieces of the stylist and interior designer, the late Jon Bannenberg, both in terms of her clean exterior line and her amazing Polynesian interior.

    Coral Ocean was originally launched in 1994 and has been beautifully maintained throughout her life and has spent several winters up at Lürssen – lastly this last winter where certain areas have been changed and up-dated to conform to the rules as she will be for the first time available on the charter market.

    So far, she has been used solely privately and has never been featured in a magazine. Guests who will have the pleasure to cruise on her in the Mediterranean this summer will be amazed by her beach house style interior.
    In 1994, Coral Ocean was one of the first yachts whose interior featured a gym and a spa area, what was a sensation at that time, is considered as standard today!

    Lürssen is happy to present a yacht which is in such a good condition – a proof that a quality yacht can keep her value, even after so many years.

    Yachts Middle East - Lurssen - Coral Ocean a 22 year old yacht

    Refit has become a core business for Lürssen. During the last winter 8 yachts between 40 and 110 meters have used the Lürssen facilities for modifications and maintenance works. Amongst them are some of the world’s most beautiful yachts such as Phoenix², Global, Radiant and Coral Ocean.

    Regardless of whether a yacht is a Lürssen or a yacht built by another yard, a time will come when it will need a refit, some repair, or even a conversion. This is work that Lürssen undertakes with the German precision for which they are world-renowned. And although the work required may differ from ship to ship, their aim is always the same. Once they have been involved, your yacht’s life expectancy and performance should once again be comparable to that of a newbuild.

    Five shipyards provide ample space to build and refit several yachts at a time in covered sheds and docks. And with 1800 people working in the group, Lürssen not only has the space but also the manpower of engineers, naval architects and craftsmen to realize any project – may it be a new build, a refit or a conversion.

    At this year’s Monaco Yacht Show Lürssen will have, in addition to their regular stand outside on the T-Dock, a dedicated Yacht Service stand located in the air-conditioned tent “Antoine 1er A”, where Lürssen staff will be on hand to talk about what services are provided in the world of Repair and Refit.

  • Claasen Classics shine in the Superyacht Cup

    Claasen Classics shine in the Superyacht Cup

    The 20th edition of the Superyacht Cup Palma has drawn to a close, with Claasen classics shining on the water, and in the prizegiving.

    Truly Classic 78 Heartbeat was back again to compete, taking on six fellow battlers in Class C. She put in a steady performance on the course, taking out third place in her final race of the day. Heartbeat will be back in 2018, when the owner and crew are determined to repeat their win of 2013.

    Truly Classic 127 Atlante was one regatta entry all competitors were keen to spot. The regatta, which was her second ever superyacht regatta, gave ample opportunity for this much-lauded yacht to be seen up close.

    Her entry in the Cup comes close on the heels of her win of the World Superyacht Award for best sailing yacht 30-39 metres. The Hoek-designed yacht put in a strong performance with special guests, journalists and race crew all enjoying showing her off on the Bay of Palma.

  • ‘WE REINVENTED THE IDEA OF BESPOKE’ CRN’S LATEST ADVERTISING CAMPAIGN

    ‘WE REINVENTED THE IDEA OF BESPOKE’ CRN’S LATEST ADVERTISING CAMPAIGN

    July 1st 2016 – Bespoke products, reflecting the preferences and the personality of their owner, offered with an innovative approach. These are the messages conveyed by the new advertising campaign by CRN, Ferretti Group’s Italian brand and shipyard specialising in the construction of 45 to 100 metre, steel and aluminium mega yachts.

    The campaign centres on the claim “We reinvented the idea of Bespoke”, expressing the brand’s focus on craftsmanship and style and representing the true added value of products designed & made in Italy. The claim highlights the essence of the shipyard’s role: taking the wishes of its well-informed and demanding customers, and giving them a tangible form with no limits.

    Like a genuine atelier, where customers come to get a suit made to measure, CRN has re-invented a new way of building tailor-made yachts with the same approach as a master tailor. Each customer has their own specific measurements and needs, and no “suit” should ever be the same as another, even if they are made by the same hand. The superyachts built by CRN reflect the vision of their owners, matching their personal taste and style while fulfilling specific needs and desires.

    The yachts are the true protagonists in the new campaign designed by Milan’s Savile Row agency with creative director Lorenzo Cascino, seen to be fully-customised icons for people who expect to stand out from the crowd with a fully-customized pleasure vessel, a unique example designed by CRN’s Bespoke Atelier. Each of the shipyard’s yacht is a unique work of art, expressing the vision described by the owner, before being a recognisable member of the CRN fleet.

    All the yachts in the fleet are a combination of a flexible approach and a sense of passion. The 55 metre M/Y Atlante, the latest to be built by CRN, is the perfect example of this. It’s strong style and personality embodies the Bespoke model of the brand to perfection.

    CRN’s ‘We Reinvented the Idea of Bespoke’ campaign will feature in selected off line media and in the brand’s social media channels starting in July 2016.

  • Commercial success at Heesen Yachts: 50m FDHF hybrid Project Nova is sold!

    Commercial success at Heesen Yachts: 50m FDHF hybrid Project Nova is sold!

    Heesen Yachts is proud to announce the sale of Project Nova (Y/N 17850). The client, a yacht connoisseur, was introduced to the shipyard by Thom Conboy of Heesen Yachts USA.

    Project Nova is a unique example of Heesen’s ingenious approach to yachting: a high-performance, supremely comfortable Fast Displacement yacht with reduced environmental impact, wrapped in an elegant design package with exterior lines by Frank Laupman of Omega Architects and interior styling by Sinot Yacht Design.

    Her eye-catching superstructure, vertical bow and spacious fixed aft platform, put Project Nova a cut above the rest. While breaking with Heesen yachts of the past, her exterior lines still retain the sense of seaworthiness and performance that has become the trademark of the Dutch superyacht builder.

    Thanks to her hybrid propulsion, Project Nova offers the ultimate form of luxury: silent cruising. In this case, ‘hybrid’ means that the yacht can draw on two sources of power for propulsion: diesel mechanical and diesel electrical. Either or both sources can be used at the same time to provide more flexible power management and better efficiency along with less noise and vibration. Up to speeds of 9 knots in electrical hybrid mode, the yacht will be as silent as when at anchor!

    Project Nova: yet another project that puts Heesen Yachts at the forefront of technical innovation.
