Superyacht Leander G departing Gibraltar

Recently spotted departing the Mediterranean port of Gibraltar, is the 75 metre German-built superyacht Leander G. The yacht recently made headlines when she was sold for the first time since her construction in 1992 by her original owner, Vice Amiral Sir Donald Gosling KCVO RNR. The yacht often played host to members of the British Royal Family. Following her sale, the yacht has now been removed from the charter market. Leander G features naval architecture and exterior design by Kusch Yachts, whilst her interior was undertaken in a joint venture by Pauline Nunns Associates, Katalin Landon and Heinz Vollers. In 1998 she underwent an extensive refit with the Devonport shipyard, in which two of her decks were extended and she was modified to meet the then new MCA rules for yachts over 24 metres.

Leander G departing Gibraltar

Constructed by the German shipyard Peene-Werft in 1992, the popular charter superyacht Leander G has been sold. Her original owner was Vice Admiral Sir Donald Gosling KCVO RNR, a member of Britain’s Royal Yacht Squadron, and was often used by the British Royal Family, notably Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Phillip on a tour of Britain, as well as Prince Charles and The Duchess of Cornwall in the Caribbean.

Following an enquiry from a private individual, Sir Donald has agreed to pass on Leander G to new ownership. In regards to her new ownership, she will retain the same name and will maintain her distinguished blue hull. Furthermore, Captain Jules Cope MVO who took over from his brother Giles in July 2005 will remain in command along with his crew. Undoubtedly many prospective charter clients will be sorely disappointed that she will no longer be available for charter for the foreseeable future.

Sir Donald was represented by Peter Insull of Peter Insull’s Yacht Marketing during the acquisition of Leander G. Insull also represented Sir Donald in his two previous yachts purchased, and has managed the commercial side of yacht charter in recent years, guided by Georgette Bouradjdi in Peter Insull’s Yacht Charter. Sir Donald is reportedly already on the search for a suitable replacement vessel.
