30m Liman sailing yacht WK finds new owners

Liman Shipyard has launched superyacht Artpolars, designed by Ginton Naval Architects. The yacht was built in Nikolaev, a Ukranian town with a rich tradition in shipbuilding, dating back to before the soviet era. During the Soviet period, aircraft carriers, nuclear submarines and large variety of other ships were built there. And now, there is the 40 metre luxury yacht Artpolars to add to that list.<img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/146692/image/large-97ddfd4ec8fe827fab57ca69bb536656.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/146692">Artpolas offers accommodation for up to 10 guests, divided over four decks. She features two master cabins, one on the upper deck, complete with a private aft deck, and one on the main deck forward, with private access to the foredeck, complete with sunpads and a Jacuzzi.<img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/146693/image/large-011ab142e9460e7b602f7de37ade5a53.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/146693">Jaron Ginton stated: “The owner have decided to build her to the required level, whatever it may cost. He bought a mountain of marble, a football field of leather , a forest of wood and veneer and a large selection of golden bath accessories. Together with the interior designers Olga Flekey and Marina Rets from FR Design, Kiev, they experimented building different combinations of colours and material to reach the desired result. It may not be the most economical way of choosing, but you do get the desired result without any compromise.”<img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/146694/image/large-9e91fcee7feb72f554326943a049d205.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/146694"> <img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/146695/image/large-bd50ef74233025702e8ad374b3f446fc.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/146695">Although the yacht has already been launched, she has not been fully completed yet.
