Charter Deal of the Week: the 34m superyacht Cornelia  

The 36.4-metre explorer superyacht Lars has been sold, Fraser has today announced. Conceived in 1995 as the ultimate tug boat, the 36.4-metre vessel was started by the Dutch shipyard Made. Unfortunately, she was not finished at this time, and it wasn’t until her previous owner bought her and took her to Balk Shipyard several years later in 2010 that life really began for Lars.&nbsp;<img src="/uploads/store/photo/23214/image/large-256c9318f51913b0a713f4992580037c.JPG" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/23214"> Transformed by Balk, designer Felix Buytendijk restyled Lars’ superstructure, adding a sun deck, and integrating a new swimming platform amongst a number of significant changes, before she was relaunched in early 2012. Her maiden voyage was an exciting one, taking her owners to the North Pole from Spitsbergen to Nova Zembla that year.&nbsp;Completing an additional refit last year, Lars was sold in an in-house deal at Fraser. Maarten Ten Holter represented the buyer, with Jan Jaap Minnema representing the seller. She is currently located in Corfu, Greece.&nbsp;

The new 38.25-metre motor yacht Soprano departed the Hakvoort shipyard last week as she prepares to be handed over to her first-time owner.​ The project involved Ocean Independence and Ocean Management with Diana Yacht Design working as the exterior designers and Felix Buytendijk responsible for the interior of the vessel.

<img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/165870/image/large-dcca32d9b792bd12adfa3d0062b8f929.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/165870">

Soprano’s classic look was a key request from her owner who was inspired by previous Hakvoort yachts such as Sagamar V and Spada. The owner was also in serach of a medium-sized custom yacht, something that Hakvoort is renowned for. “Soprano is a real gentleman’s yacht, blending the timeless beauty of our maritime tradition with lots of modern touches,” says director Albert Hakvoort jr. “She provides an excellent performance at sea, is exceptionally quiet and is superbly finished.”

<img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/165871/image/large-e4d1f10c9be643046d2f040b1efcf8f7.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/165871">

As the yacht was built with chartering in mind, the interior layout had to be developed accordingly. As a result, she houses two large guest cabins as well as a full-beam VIP suite on the lower deck, with the grand master stateroom located on the main deck. Like her exterior, Soprano’s interior has a strong classic character with contemporary accents. This is exemplified by the combination of rich stained mahogany panels with wood panels painted in matt white lacquer above the wainscot.

<img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/165872/image/large-360064c0b0be96d411a2f44825bcb795.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/165872">

A large swimming platform is fitted in a pocket inside the hull that is up to four metres deep and 2.5 metres high, made possible by the placement of the engine room amidships.

<img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/165874/image/large-59d08969facc07a9061f8c8ac2bbf2b3.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/165874">

Another unique feature on board is the impressive crew areas which were built according to LY3 regulations. “This is quite unique for a boat of this size,” project manager Marc van Ditshuizen points out. “It makes a big difference for the crew especially, giving them a lot more space and comfort than is normally found even on much larger boats – in fact, the crew area is even more generous than the already princely LY3 specifications. It was the owners who asked for LY3 certification from the outset, as they know that a happy crew means a happy boat”

The 52.75-metre superyacht Passion has been sold, it has recently been announced. Completed in 1988 by Swedeship with an exterior design by Felix Buytendijk and an interior by Dvorine Associates, she previously sailed under the names Destiny and Destiny Langkawi, and has enjoyed a successful charter history over the years.
