Schooner Athena off Positano

Royal Huisman’s Athena pictured while anchored off Positano (Italy) on 26 June 2008. With her length of 90m (including bowsprit) she is the world’s second largest sailing yacht behind the 92.92m Lürssen EOS. Built in 2004, Athena has cruised all over the world since her delivery from the French and Italian Rivera’s to Australia and the United States. The Beeldsnijder designed yacht is for charter through YCO and will be cruising in the Caribbean this winter.
