How does one go about creating the perfect charter yacht? Commission a new-build at a world leading shipyard? Further develop an already successful charter yacht perhaps? The solution to this request by the owner of the ex 48m Newvida came in the form of a 7.6 meter extension and a series of well executed enhancements to his yacht, transforming the current My Seanna into a guest-pleasing oasis<img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/152479/image/large-28c937405d6157767920783917ba8041.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/152479">It was the work of the owner’s representative, Joseph Leone, to establish what changes the yacht would ultimately undergo. Leone set out to uncover essential features that all successful charter yachts are able to offer their guests today, and incorporated these in a single profile. After meeting with naval architect Patrick Dupuis of Murray &amp; Associates, these ideas came to life in sketches and technical drawings which would eventually steer the 17-month transformation project.<img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/152480/image/large-3c85fe065d57b6642cf59d25d637f5e5.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/152480"> The well established Rybovich Shipyard in Florida was tasked with the completion of these advanced cosmetic and structural changes to the vessel. “The brief was very clear,” explains Francois van Well, Vice- President of Business Development at the yard and a key role-player in the success of the project; an extension to all aft-facing decks had to be completed with a beach club added to the newly extended stern area. The extended sundeck will have to house a touch-and-go helipad, and a new silver metallic paint job for the hull and mast.<img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/152481/image/large-c3d327466213c2b8a8e42a49815ce2ba.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/152481"><img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/152482/image/large-a7dd73f4afe8a72bf6fdbb8910520fdd.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/152482">Following the removal of the existing transom area, focus shifted to the construction and assembly of the brand new beach club. The yard succeeded in creating from scratch a space that now houses a 19ft tender and two jet skis. These are launched through an upward opening garage door using the overhead crane, and reveal an ideal guest area where free standing wooden furniture and contemporary black and white panelling sets the scene for a relaxing day at anchor. Good storage for watersport toys and diving gear can be found on the starboard side with a day head and drinks-fridge to port. Guests are led directly up to the aft main deck through a set of stairs on the port side.<img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/152483/image/large-3b786a8108055ab74de3fc8e55eefc11.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/152483"><img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/152484/image/large-f28b00b6c445142c38ec7d5f13cb86ff.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/152484">The main deck aft area which used to be enclosed by glass side panelling has been completely opened and the space is now one of the main outdoor meeting areas. The 16ft extension to this deck has enabled the designers to add a U-shape settee aft, great for both dining and evening cocktail occasions thanks to the adjustable tables. The entire midships area of the deck has been raised to create a centre island, allowing guests to fully appreciate the surrounding views and also lends a sense of purpose and structure to the deck. Additional free-standing furniture make up the remaining seating possibilities and is easily arranged or even removed by the crew to suit any event.<img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/152485/image/large-1d221ed36e99040f68bd9b4913e13e22.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/152485">The upper aft deck has also been enhanced by the removal of the darkened side windows. The deck feels extremely airy and open, yet completely private and secluded from the rest of the yacht. A perfect location for dining when in port. The large 10-seater dining table could once be found on the main deck aft, but was moved up here during the rebuild. On either side of the table, back-lit blue marble-top counters have been installed. A buffet cabinet on port side and a full service bar to starboard. This keeps wonderfully with the ocean blue colour scheme of the group of sunbeds. The two individual U-shaped seating areas placed aft adds to the symmetrical design of this deck.<img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/152486/image/large-13a630da59798cbcd29710e89d1ac198.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/152486">During the original construction, composite materials where used in the building of all decks above the upper deck including the bridge deck superstructure. The yard decided to continue with the use of this material and added another 10 feet to the sundeck aft. To ensure adequate space for the helicopter, the old Jacuzzi was removed and replaced with an oversized custom pool moved forward.<img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/152487/image/large-cceb97dad3c4834f79e2ceb849d6de08.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/152487">The new pool features two bar tops on either side, suitable for use when in the pool or while enjoying the views from the bar stools on deck. The relaxing sound from the infinity edge waterfall feature is sure to attract guests. It is from here where guests will be able to experience a movie night under the stars made possible by a projector mounted on the deckhead forward of the Jacuzzi and displays an image on a removable screen placed on the very aft section of the deck.<img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/152488/image/large-e96694057f9a032ca7374f512abb90d5.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/152488">An exercise area with free-standing gym equipment was created beneath the superstructure overhang where guests can stay in shape even while on holiday. A sauna was also added to this wellness corner, and guests will be able to enjoy the views here too through a large window. On the starboard side a large cabinet has been installed which houses a BBQ grill and wine cooler. With the helicopter removed from sundeck aft, this space is quickly transformed into a sunbather’s paradise with movable deck furniture and sunbeds.The once cramped and single-purposed crow’s nest has been converted into the ultimate chill spot on board. Guests can retire here just before sundown to capture 360 degree views of the stunning surroundings in absolute peace and security.<img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/152489/image/large-b825540ce21359c7e2286e937ca204d4.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/152489"><img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/152490/image/large-b41da481b19caca5c2b94d0330bbf4f2.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/152490">My Seanna’s interior too has received extensive hours of renovations and upgrades. An area which has been completely transformed is the brand new VIP cabin located forward on the sundeck. Here, the view offered by the large forward facing windows has been utilised to create a living area unlike any other onboard. Keeping with the matt finished wooden panelling and gold brushed accents running throughout the entire interior, the VIP is opulently styled with modern touches such as the rising flatscreen TV forward and new Creston AV system. A private staircase leads guests down to the upper salon landing while another exit leads aft from the cabin directly onto the sundeck.<img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/152491/image/large-5bc92fb55ad30a522da738555f8f23ed.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/152491">Another innovative modification performed on the interior was the redesigned access from the upper salon to the aft deck outside. Before, a spiral staircase directly forward of this entrance used to limit access between these two spaces to two narrow entrances on either side of the staircase. The decision was made to remove the staircase completely, which enabled the yard to create a large sliding door that now serves as a link between these two interior and exterior living spaces. In addition to this, the upper salon also received a new drinks bar on the starboard side paired with the re-organising of some original furniture to make the area as flowing as possible.The four guest cabins located on the lower deck each received two portholes. These cabins had to solely rely on electrical lighting for illumination , now they feel bright and indeed more spacious with this much needed addition.<img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/152492/image/large-c1cbf805898e7f40aa14662059c740a2.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/152492">The master cabin has remained largely untouched save for the upgrade in AV systems and electronic amenities. The cabin itself continues the opulent theme onboard and features rich tones of red brown and cream all tied together with the use of brushed gold accents. The suite has a lavishly decorated his and hers bathroom with large oval shaped portholes on either side.<img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/152493/image/large-d392b5787f125547e557e2560bcdf87e.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/152493">Considerable changes to the vessels handling ability and characteristics can be expected when an extension of this nature is executed. The yard’s technical team did a splendid job with the changes below the waterline to keep My Seanna sailing even better than the vessel once did. Her deeper draft is a direct result of the stern extension, and is due to the angle that the two extended prop shafts follow as they lead aft. Her cruising speed of 12 knots has not been affected by any of the changes and the added 30cm to the bottom of the keel will only improve her sea keeping ability.<img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/152494/image/large-00eb1187f06b1266cd6846ab2abf59e9.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/152494">This project is a setting example of the success that follows when good planning, communication between owner and designer and the integrity that an established shipyard provides, all come together. My Seanna is truly a phoenix that has risen from the ashes. This completely transformed yacht offers an impressive amount of amenities to her guests and with her new arsenal of toys and company of experienced crew, she is ready to hit the charter market.<img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/152495/image/large-4b3dc8ad7a8c2600ec8ef7a9083c16ba.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/152495">My Seanna is currently available for charter in Caribbean waters through Burgess.By Charl van Rooy

The main saloon is framed by structural columns clad in recycled nautical sailcloth, while her dining area features a sculptural table with a gear-shaped metal base and a wood top inlaid with pressed tobacco leaves. Surrounding chairs in curved wood are detailed with bronzed accents and ivory hammered leather, creating a design that defines the yacht’s onboard character. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/395274/image/large-07e95344530c0eee52e87e2688e66a4b.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/395274"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/395268/image/large-f299ae95b83285b23c4618adf9b45a9e.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/395268">At the centre of the space, two custom boomerang-shaped sofas in white chenille and dove-grey leather divide the lounge from the dining area. Functional elements are built into the space, with leather pockets and hidden storage beneath the cushions and a silk and wool rug below to mimic the branching forms of a river delta.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/395269/image/large-33097a9ca9e6c34c4cc32279d71d40ee.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/395269"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/395241/image/large-4284b0e1b10280faac39b4b151cfb27c.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/395241">“It was important to us that every material told a story,” added Luca Boldrini. “Nothing is purely decorative.

Dubbed the “madame office”, it’s a celebration of colour and individuality. Aviation blue features prominently across her &nbsp;leather desk accessories, the raffia wallpaper-lined bookcases and the detailing on the bespoke desk chair. The desk itself has been built from natural oak with hammered bronze detailing and hand-decorated bases. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/395253/image/large-bb140479538c8a4506bae73017d24d93.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/395253"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/395254/image/large-5e793d7ef69f3518e71bbf21af8bf775.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/395254">The space is framed by decorative panels embroidered with three-dimensional orchids, while the carpet below mimics the foam of waves crashing against the shore. “This room isn’t just about work,” said Muzio. “It’s a sanctuary that is elegant, feminine and energising.”<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/395245/image/large-284ab752d07f0ad0aedb80dc91cdfcca.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/395245"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/395243/image/large-f86c36352a28f0139a957f94c6f0d1c3.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/395243"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/395247/image/large-b01f9c97658c14ef17097059b8255de7.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/395247">Further guest areas onboard <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/10946" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Akula59.4m (194'11&quot;)Rossinavi2024">Akula</a> reflect the same attention to comfort and flexibility.

Here, Francesca Muzio has embraced the romance of travel with a design inspired by vintage steamer trunks, complete with &nbsp;bronze hardware, leather handles and cabinetry in warm oak and dark European maple. The washbasins are finished in Imperial Beige marble, further enhancing the refined yet &nbsp;tactile atmosphere.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/395298/image/large-c4367103fda7023f8b0c6d1f6e5f9451.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/395298"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/395264/image/large-766f12a14112b6d835f5c5a8cef4c5e5.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/395264"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/395280/image/large-a5c5a8bf1fa763df6378a380e7f2b4f3.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/395280">Beneath her refined interiors, <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/10946" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Akula59.4m (194'11&quot;)Rossinavi2024">Akula</a> remains a highly capable expedition yacht.

Joining Richard in the azure blue waters of Panama are another 23 <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/1097" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Oyster Yachts (Company)">Oyster</a> sailing yachts, preparing to cross the Panama Canal and head towards French Polynesia. The reason? The 2026-27 Oyster World Rally.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/378811/image/large-09e42b8e3770ce85e64a241b12171e1d.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/378811">The rally around the worldWhat started in 2013, has turned into a well-loved tradition for <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/1097" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Oyster Yachts (Company)">Oyster Yacht</a> owners. Every two years, a group of owners set out to circumnavigate the globe together over the course of 16 months. The only requirement is owning an <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/1097" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Oyster Yachts (Company)">Oyster Yacht</a>. When Richard took over ownership of the shipyard, the rally was well underway: “They were all in New Zealand and didn't know what was happening; they were nervous it was all going to be over.”<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/393554/image/large-a46b63aab5a0e574b8b0b04078059147.png" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/393554">Almost immediately, Richard sent someone out there and said, “Look, you know, we've picked it up. We'll look after you guys. Don't worry. Everything's good.” He kept true to his promise, and, minus a pandemic-related hiccup, the rally has happened every other year. Richard notes that, throughout the past eight years “There's been lots and lots of ups along the way, but my highlight is this rally.”The route is the same each rally, starting in the Antigua harbour, heading south and through the Panama Canal before sailing towards French Polynesia, Australia and the Great Barrier Reef, followed by island hopping in Indonesia, around the Cape of Good Hope, before returning to the starting point. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/378813/image/large-f6e264dfd96b0c95a19266c04a03c9e9.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/378813">An important distinction is that the rally is not a race. Rather, it is a shared passage around the world that blends exploration with the reassurance of a structured support network. Richard emphasises that the <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/1097" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Oyster Yachts (Company)">Oysters</a> are well-cared for, “we fly out our best engineers and they fix all the little teething, little snagging issues. We know our own boats, right? We have the designs. We know every single detail.” It’s a sense of service that provides comfort for everyone involved, as well as those at home.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/393558/image/large-f6540711463b84f7c7f3daf1d2f48eb0.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/393558">Partaking in tradition“It’s always been in my mind's eye, partaking in the rally, as something I'd love to do.” Discussing the ideal timeline with his wife, they were considering either 2028 or 2030, “suddenly we were like, why wouldn't we do it now?” Richard shares, “it was like a revelation.” Thus began the preparations for the 2026 rally onboard his <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/1097" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Oyster Yachts (Company)">Oyster</a> 885, <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/6352" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Lush27.08m (88'10&quot;)Oyster Yachts2012">Lush</a>.<a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/1097" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Oyster Yachts (Company)">Oyster Yachts</a> are built for what Richard describes as ‘blue water’ capability: yachts designed for long distance ocean passage. Construction quality, redundancy in systems and a focus on safety all play a role in enabling owners to undertake global voyages with confidence. Richard’s yacht, <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/6352" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Lush27.08m (88'10&quot;)Oyster Yachts2012">Lush</a>, has crossed the Atlantic twenty times, “she’s twelve years old and she’s already circumnavigated once before. You feel the strength and the security when you’re sailing.”<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/393555/image/large-0abb38e810c7944d433ff5b80a391cf3.jpeg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/393555">Yet despite this capability and the trust in the build, each participating yacht and its crew need to undergo a certain level of training. Participants spend up to a year attending seminars and training sessions covering everything from offshore navigation to safety procedures. Survival courses, fire training and life raft drills form part of the preparation, ensuring that every sailor understands how to respond in an emergency.Additionally, weather routing specialists monitor conditions throughout the voyage, advising the fleet and each vessel carries satellite tracking equipment so that the rally organisers can follow the fleet’s progress in real time.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/396105/image/large-8b5d727cc491eebd0fb5df4f2d7b05e6.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/396105">Slow sailingCircumnavigation can be completed far faster than 16 months. The <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/1097" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Oyster Yachts (Company)">Oyster</a> World Rally intentionally chooses a slower rhythm. The aim is not simply to cross oceans but to absorb the places along the way. “There’s something about travelling slowly,” Richard notes. “You cover every mile and you feel the world changing around you. The temperature shifts, the time zones change, and you understand exactly where you are.”Weeks have been spent among the San Blas Islands, an archipelago of more than 300 islands, where instead of rushing onward, the fleet lingered for days, exploring remote anchorages and travelling inland to jungle waterfalls between sailing passages.The ability to enjoy such slow travel is thanks to certain luxuries the likes of Starlink, which keep Richard and fellow sailors connected to life back home. While the bulk of time is spent sailing and adventuring with his wife, sons and crew, there’s also the opportunity to take work calls. “It’s extraordinary,” Richard notes, “you can go on an adventure in the middle of the day, come back to the boat, and carry on with work.” True to his word, Richard ends our call to go crocodile-spotting with his youngest son.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/393556/image/large-6feb41da1249d7e2cef2c14e05ea49e7.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/393556">Travelling with purposeA newer dimension of the rally is the concept of regenerative tourism, an approach that encourages sailors to leave a positive impact on the destinations they visit. Unlike traditional sustainability initiatives that focus primarily on reducing harm, regenerative tourism seeks to actively improve the environments and communities encountered along the way.&nbsp;Activities range from environmental awareness projects to supporting local conservation initiatives. “It could be awareness, it could be picking up plastic, it could be supporting conservation,” Richard explains. “The idea is that we leave a place slightly better than we found it.”One upcoming stop highlights that ambition. In the Galápagos Islands, the fleet will host a series of discussions led by Sarah Darwin, the great-great-granddaughter of Charles Darwin, who is involved in ecological restoration projects in the archipelago. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/396091/image/large-94301c4c375b86a2cd7253c448878fd6.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/396091">A family voyagePerhaps the most striking element of Richard’s participation is that he gets to share it with his wife and youngest son, who are also onboard <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/6352" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Lush27.08m (88'10&quot;)Oyster Yachts2012">Lush</a>. “My two older sons are now 21 or 19, but when they were like 10, I was watching them jump off the side, and now I've got my two-year-old growing up on the same boat; I love that.”“I’m not someone who likes disposable things,” he says. “This boat has memories in it. My children have grown up on board.” <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/396104/image/large-e045835f24ba5410d34358ef61375d82.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/396104">A year of sailingHaving started the <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/1097" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Oyster Yachts (Company)">Oyster</a> World Rally this January in Antigua, the sailors are, at time of writing, well underway towards the Galápagos islands and tend to be very happy there is still so much sailing to go.For many sailors, the end of the journey arrives with mixed emotions: some find it difficult to return to land after spending all this time out at sea. Richard understands the sentiment, “once you begin to experience the world at the pace of a sailing yacht, the idea of rushing through it again feels strangely unfamiliar. You realise the world is vast, and you’re seeing it properly.”&nbsp;The <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/1097" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Oyster Yachts (Company)">Oyster</a> World Rally may follow a charted route around the globe. Yet for those onboard, the real voyage lies in discovering how large, and yet how connected, that world can be. “There’s something magical about it,” Richard notes.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/393550/image/large-3d80ac007ca3f58263d6eac9af835c80.png" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/393550">

With Lürssen's legacy for complex new-build projects at its other facilities, owners benefit from the same level of engineering knowledge, project management expertise and highly skilled workforce responsible for delivering some of the industry's most advanced yachts.This integration creates a distinct advantage when tackling technically demanding projects. Whether undertaking a major structural modification, a complete interior transformation or a full vessel conversion, clients gain access to the resources and experience of a shipyard accustomed to solving complex engineering challenges.Since acquiring the Hamburg site, <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/23" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Lürssen Yachts (Company)">Lürssen</a> has redelivered nearly 100 yachts, with close to half a kilometre of yachts undergoing refit work at the facility during the past 12 months alone.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/395684/image/large-e860b8408cb8573130a03c0e4ccc63a4.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/395684">A solution for every ownerWhile commissioning a custom new-build remains the ultimate expression of yacht ownership, lengthy construction schedules are often an unavoidable reality. For owners seeking a faster route to a highly personalised yacht, refit and conversion projects offer a compelling alternative.By identifying the right platform and investing in a carefully planned transformation, owners can create a yacht tailored to their individual requirements within a significantly shorter timeframe than a new construction project.The opportunities extend far beyond cosmetic upgrades. Leveraging its commercial shipbuilding heritage, <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/23" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Lürssen Yachts (Company)">Lürssen</a> is increasingly involved in large-scale conversion projects, transforming robust offshore and industrial vessels into capable exploration yachts designed for extended global cruising.These vessels, originally engineered to operate in demanding environments, provide strong foundations for owners seeking expedition capabilities without compromising on comfort, luxury or autonomy.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/395663/image/large-fff7a51890ff3bb2699f3ff16be929a6.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/395663">Advancing sustainability through practical solutionsAs environmental considerations continue to shape the future of yachting, <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/23" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Lürssen Yachts (Company)">Lürssen</a> Refit &amp; Services is also helping owners reduce operational emissions through carefully assessed sustainability programmes.Every project begins with detailed feasibility studies, ensuring proposed upgrades align with the yacht's operational profile and owner requirements. Rather than prescribing a single solution, the shipyard focuses on identifying the most effective measures for each individual vessel.Depending on the programme, improvements can range from LED lighting upgrades and intelligent motion-sensing systems to advanced heat recovery technology and sophisticated energy management platforms that optimise onboard power consumption.Many of these initiatives can be incorporated into larger refit schedules, allowing owners to enhance efficiency while minimising disruption to cruising plans.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/395686/image/large-760964d6aac379d57a85ccebad544ef4.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/395686">Supporting yachts beyond the shipyard<a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/23" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Lürssen Yachts (Company)">Lürssen</a>'s commitment to owners extends well beyond the completion of a refit project.

In addition, the yacht’s indoor and outdoor areas are seamlessly connected thanks to her full-height windows and Baglietto’s signature “cut-out” bulwarks, which strengthen connection to the sea.On her upper deck, a veranda that opens on three sides hosts a panoramic dining room, while her foredeck features a lounge area, sunpads and a Jacuzzi located at the bow. Moreover, a rooftop, rare for yachts of her category, serves as a private retreat where guests can dine, lounge, and relax.Furthermore, a stern garage with a flooding launch system is capable of accommodating a tender up to seven-metres, alongside a second garage forward.The yacht's interiors have been designed to complement the exterior design. Lacquered surfaces, experimental woods such as burnt oak, and artistic lighting all harmoniously contribute to her contemporary design profile. Lightweight materials were favoured over heavier marble and natural stone to support the yacht's high-performance credentials, with even the exterior handrails crafted from titanium to optimise weight.Unlike many of the shipyard’s earlier fast yachts, the <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/13932" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Baglietto Fast 50/0149.9m (163'9&quot;)Baglietto S.p.A.2026">FAST50 yacht</a> has been developed across three full decks, featuring a wide-body owner's suite on the main deck.&nbsp;At an interior volume of 499 GT, accommodation onboard is arranged across four staterooms, including two VIP staterooms and two twin staterooms on the lower deck, all with en-suite facilities. Crew accommodation comprises four dedicated quarters, captain's quarters and a spacious crew mess.In terms of performance, the yacht is powered by four <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/1409" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="MTU (Company)">MTU</a> engines, which are expected to deliver a top speed of 30 knots.&nbsp;
