The almost viral-like interest in superyachts that measure over 100 metres could be contributed to the extreme levels of secrecy, speculation, and envy that we landlubbers experience when dealing with these giants of the superyacht world. It is therefore always a truly special occasion to be let inside the goings-on onboard vessels of such size and stature. A sneak peek inside an industry icon such as Luna, however, is extremely rare and it is with much excitement and no small amount of anticipation that I find myself reporting on her recent $50 million dollar refit.

<img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/163120/image/large-f3b4228de20389b998a63f1cc4c8dc4f.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/163120">

Much like an owner would assemble a team of designers, project managers and crew to conceptualise and ultimately build his/her new superyacht from scratch, so the owner of Luna gathered a team of experts to oversee what would become one of the most expensive superyacht refits in history. Over 14 months and 450 individual work-list projects later, and the refit of the mighty Luna was a project truly worthy of the term.

<img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/163121/image/large-aee116cbb5fef99839c0f394b2cce3eb.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/163121">

“Our mission was to give Luna a new look,” explains Thraki Yacht Painting boss, Ritvan Metso. The work list supplied by her captain reads like a comprehensive specifications manual that one might find onboard a large new-build project. Re-caulking of the entire ship, hand sanding, fairing and painting of hull, all new exterior furniture, new steam room, new sauna – you name it, it has been covered.

<img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/163123/image/large-c84550764ad66610fb6ccd9c8f72fac1.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/163123">

The most complex and intensive operation of all during the 14-month project most certainly has had to be the brand new finish of Luna’s hull. From afar, the untrained eye might easily overlook the eight month’s work that it took 80 men to complete, with her new ‘Luna Blue’ shade not too dissimilar to the original tone. Her owner was after a mirror finish unlike any other yacht of this size, and Thraki certainly delivered.

<img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/163125/image/large-57c42e6826a3b88f16b97eaa0abd4705.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/163125">

Following the preparation of the hull - taken back all the way to bare metal - the team applied over 20 tonnes of filler to her once commercial-finish hull. This was then hand sanded by Thraki’s men to achieve the perfect finish for the epoxy and top coats that would follow. “A rather tiring task indeed but well worth it when you consider the quality you get at the end,” continues Metso. This feat is further highlighted by the fact that the ship remained an operation site for all other works that had to be completed in time including the laying of the teak deck as well as stainless steel railings which were completely replaced on the main deck and stern area.

Having acquired the yacht from her original owner in 2014, the new family identified a few key changes that had to be made while onboard during their first season that year. One of these subsequently remodelled areas was the expansive beach deck that is hidden below Luna’s characteristic stretched-out aft deck. Layout and cosmetic changes to this space make this the new indoor/outdoor hotspot on the yacht. Glass sliding doors separate the indoor space from the terrace provided by the fold-down shell doors – the largest of which measuring 12 metres in length.

<img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/163129/image/large-86023f9d5afa4682868a65a378175dd6.jpeg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/163129">

A large aft-facing lounge area at the very aft section of the beach club overlooks the swim platform, with surrounding comforts that can easily have one forgetting that it is indeed the beach club and not the main saloon where you find yourself.

<img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/163131/image/large-db33c571e5344b874246bfaa48b9c88a.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/163131">

The swimming pool one deck above, the largest of its kind when Luna was delivered by Lloyd Werft in 2010, was completely re-tiled and is now more suitable for an afternoon dip in the summer heat than ever.

<img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/163133/image/large-ddb31eaff45c2a7a4c46da4f0dc8211c.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/163133">

Directly aft of the pool, a new raised pavilion area with large shading canopy was created and is sure to become on of the most popular outdoor hang-out spots when at anchor.

<img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/163135/image/large-9ec0a48755e5afab06d485e18026bfab.jpeg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/163135">

All deck furniture, in fact, has been either upgraded or completely replaced. All exterior dining areas are new and designed to cater family-sized groups of guests. Another new element are the 'moon walls' found across the deck areas. Intense blue backdrops with 'Luna' accents serve as running theme throughout the yacht.

<img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/163137/image/large-a4ed63d76a189dd857e4fc7749f846d5.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/163137">

Her fleet of tenders, too, received the Luna treatment - four of which had their own refit work completed with another three brand new additions made to the fleet, further strengthening Luna’s exploration capabilities. A new military type CZ7 Hurricane Zodiac tender with impact-absorbing seats is one of the fleet’s flagship off-road craft, with a modern-classic J Craft oozing style like few other guest tenders do. 

<img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/163139/image/large-3c4ceeea14f21269d7b48a6805c659c6.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/163139">

The two fully-upgraded lifeboats (one on either side) are used as limousine tenders for added privacy and guest transfers during bad weather.

<img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/163141/image/large-18ab77e4a34631c9063937208c8ef33d.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/163141">

From atop, a distinctive ‘Luna’ landing sign on her helipads are now visible after the installation of a new synthetic landing pad on areas by Bolidt.

<img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/163142/image/large-14a2745bd9c36138330c6aed32f096d6.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/163142">

The base aesthetics of her original interior, designed by Donald Starkey, has been retained, however, the new owner has renewed virtually every single fabric, from sofas to walls and the chairs in guest areas - all with a new look and feel. 

<img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/163145/image/large-9aa69e65a0977183db8cbfc386d555cf.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/163145">

Luna is a display of a well-executed design that can truly be classed as timeless. Starkey's rather compressed vision of a 'calm but elegant' interior has been realised in a wonderful collaboration of the natural and the mystical. A playful sense lingers that one would only find in a real family home, framed by custom art pieces and a variety of ornaments throughout the yacht.

<img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/163146/image/large-eecb1b303d234dafd7515b7269829199.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/163146">

The majority of interior works focused on the improving of safety for both guests and crew onboard. Dedicated storage cupboards for new cutlery and crockery sets, an expanded luggage storage facility, and improvements in the main and bridge deck pantries – all changes not directly visible to guests, but play a vital role in refining the way Luna is run on a day-to-day basis.

<img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/163147/image/large-6b6e56ca49bec114cd36d8fcbb01422b.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/163147">

A good amount of time and thought went into making the observation deck more usable as a social area for guests. A new cut-out serves as the perfect area for a secret dining experience with the world, quite literally, at your feet. 

<img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/163148/image/large-a410af61253c0841812a2c0f5158f756.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/163148">

The master suite offers demanding views from its own panoramic forward-facing terrace. Natural light and visibility is something there is no shortage of with a grand skylight overlooking the central bed acting as a porthole to the starry night sky.

<img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/163149/image/large-c586ca305a4e4bee6fc346276b5babcd.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/163149">

Luna is controlled from bridge deck one level below. This location provides easy access to crew areas below, less pitching and rolling motions in rough weather for her sailors, and a peaceful experience for the owner sleeping above, who does not have to deal with tippy-toe bridge watch footsteps at three o’clock in the morning.

<img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/163152/image/large-2c814e1bd5ccebc9851519852c10e415.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/163152">

Crew areas too received their own refit with all quarters reupholstered and fitted out with new carpets, decking and TVs.

<img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/163154/image/large-d325effda3eab35610cd0b45c212f89f.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/163154">

Luna's engine room also deserves a mention. This enormous space is worthy as a guest area in itself with cleanliness levels challenging those found throughout the interior. This mentality is driven by her owner's military background and constant strive for perfection - an idealism that has flourished in each department that her crew oversees. It is from here where Luna's four newly modified stabilisers are monitored. But with a draft of six metres, "we don't even use them" comments her captain. Despite the draft Luna tops out at an impressive speed of 22 knots, and cruise at a comfortable 17 knots. 

<img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/163155/image/large-10fdfcf8a4f74c019a13cc17bcf73048.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/163155">

Safety onboard has been stepped up a notch with a newly upgraded, full HD CCTV system allowing visual access to nearly every corner of the yacht. New anti-drone technology is but a flip of a switch away, capable of rendering any drone flightless from a distance of two kilometres. Other capabilities on Luna's defence system comes straight from an Ian Fleming novel, with diver sonar sensors and even an anti-missile detection system hidden away onboard. A fully equipped onboard hospital and a dynamic swimmer recovery system means guests and crew are always in safe hands. 

<img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/163157/image/large-367c95ef929dfc820bde9a9f720628ea.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/163157">

Built as one of the toughest yachts on the water, in a class well above what is today considered an explorer yacht, Luna can now once again sail with the confidence and steadfastness to confidently take on the seven seas in comfort and style.

Vandal Marine has revealed its latest and largest model to date, the 19.7-metre Vandal 60 Chase. Developed in collaboration with British studio RWD, the foil-assisted yacht is a response to increasing demand for high-performance, long-range chase boats within the superyacht sector.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/363943/image/large-6ae1df2edfb3bc25a6407e73f7b8bb37.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/363943">The first hull has already been delivered as a chase boat to an 80-metre-plus Feadship superyacht, marking a major milestone for the brand and its growing presence in the large tender and support vessel market.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/363941/image/large-6b4532402190d03b5a23dbfb80a9ef85.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/363941">The captain of the first unit in operation praised the design’s functionality: “We’ve found it to be a perfect addition to the fleet, ideal as a long-distance large tender for a mixture of uses, transporting equipment, a floating watersports base and entertaining platform. The rigid foil design provides a noticeable difference in ride comfort and fuel economy.”Building on the success of the 46 Explorer and 50 Explorer models, the Vandal 60 blends Vandal Marine’s established performance and reliability with a new level of comfort and sophistication tailored to the needs of discerning owners and crew.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/363938/image/large-32fe8529b880d4b3735062ed54236ce6.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/363938">“This new model is intended to provide a highly capable chase boat for superyachts taking guests and crew further and faster in comfort, opening up opportunities to explore areas previously beyond reach,” commented Ben Mennem, Founder of Vandal Marine.Ollie Stacey, Head of Yacht Design at <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/61" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="RWD (Company)">RWD</a>, added: “The Vandal 60 is the result of a truly collaborative process with the Vandal team. It builds on the brand’s distinctive DNA while allowing us to apply RWD’s design discipline and spatial thinking. The outcome is a robust, confident vessel, versatile in function and refined in execution.”<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/363940/image/large-32e46e5231756cdce8e6fe4b139c2a9a.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/363940">Developed from the outset as a dedicated chase boat, the Vandal 60 features a semi-enclosed pilothouse, a spacious open aft deck, a flybridge with tender storage and crane and accommodation for up to six guests across three staterooms.The vessel is offered with either inboard propulsion (<a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/1450" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Volvo (Company)">Volvo</a> IPS or <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/5769" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Hamilton Jet (Company)">Hamilton Jets</a>) or outboard engines (quad <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/5750" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Mercury Marine (Company)">Mercury</a> V12 600 horsepower), with a top speed of 40 knots and a cruising range of 700 nautical miles at 30 knots.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/363939/image/large-9b3c7a585d8d5f9b8d9271e62bde54f4.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/363939">Sustainability and seakeeping are at the core of the Vandal 60’s engineering. Constructed from high-strength alloys, the catamaran is built to handle demanding marine environments. A foil integrated between the hulls carries 40 percent of the vessel’s weight, significantly reducing drag and improving stability, fuel efficiency and ride comfort. This foil-assisted configuration enables better high-speed performance and enhanced seakeeping by reducing spray and slamming.The pilothouse features wraparound windows for enhanced visibility and includes a galley, dining area and helm station. It is fully air-conditioned and can be closed off for protection in harsher weather. Forward access leads to the foredeck and an optional bow ramp, facilitating direct beach or water access.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/363942/image/large-573d10a02e84dbb753d046118e909ea7.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/363942">Below deck, there are two independent companionways leading to the accommodation spaces on either side, which can be customised to suit the operational role of the boat for guests comfort, crew transit or expedition support.On deck, modular furniture systems and deck tracks allow for flexible layouts to suit different missions, whether for sunbathing, entertaining, watersports staging, or gear transport. The flybridge adds further versatility, with space for additional seating or sunbeds, and includes a helm station.
