Launched under the name Madsummer in 2008 at Lürssen and later renamed TV, superyacht Rocinante’s design is the work of Espen Oeino and Alberto Pinto who created the yacht’s exterior and interior respectively. Her exterior underwent a slight change in 2001 when her original light blue hull colour was replaced with the current light grey scheme we see today. An experienced world cruiser, Rocinante cruises at 12 knots and can reach up to 17 knots at full speed.
