Superyacht Insignia

Insignia is a 55 metre 1979 superyacht that was built in Germany by the Elsflether Werft GmbH & Co. KG yard as Hanse. Her sale as Hanse was an unusual one. Her new owner bought the yacht together with her home berth in Antibes. He then resold her soon after, and kept the berth, which would later become the home berth of his 126 metre superyacht Octopus. After her sale, she underwent a major make-over. These days, Insignia looks nothing like the way she looked when she was still Hanse. She offers accommodation for up to 12 guests, and is available for charter.
