Built to the Lürssen pedigree and delivered in 2019, the 9,022 GT superyacht was penned by Espen Øino while Mark Berryman is the designer behind the luxurious interior spaces, decorated in neutral tones and soft fabrics. Onboard, Flying Fox can accommodate 22 guests and possesses extensive features such as her state-of-the-art diving centre, two helipads, a 12-metre spa pool which runs transversely on the main deck, and her two-floor, 400 square-metre spa with a Cryo-Sauna.

Behind her silhouette appears the 140-metre explorer yacht Solaris. Built for an experienced owner and launched by the German shipyard Lloyd Werft, the flagship project was designed by Australian industrial designer, Marc Newson. Solaris is one of the largest vessels to have touched the water in 2021 and features over 2,000 square-metres of glass, culminating in the largest panes ever used in the luxury yachting industry. Symbolising a new era of naval architecture, innovation and superyacht design, she has a total volume of 11,247 GT, which is more than twice the size of Lloyd Werft’s 2010-built, 115-metre and 5,655 GT superyacht Luna.
