Working with an immensely creative client has enabled rare opportunities to push the boundaries and test the limits of form, material and functionality.”Flowing curves and louvred detailing define her appearance, with very few flat architectural surfaces found throughout the design. Bringing this vision to life required a highly creative engineering approach, transforming rigid materials into soft, organic forms. "Developing vast cylindrical steel forms that are geometrically precise, identical in size, and mirrored in design was no easy feat," the shipyard explained.This design language is carried consistently throughout the yacht, spanning from the exterior aft decks and the framing of the main aft entrance to the numerous exterior doors and even the exhaust mast itself. Moreover, her bold and streamlined exterior is distinguished by a rounded glass observation pod at the bow, with extensive black glazing that accentuates her elegant, flowing lines.This is further enhanced by a continuous glass band that wraps around the entire upper deck. Although much of it is made up of glazing, the bulwarks, doors, and technical spaces are finished in matching materials, creating the impression of an uninterrupted ribbon of glass. The design culminates forward in a 19-metre-wide observation lounge, positioned directly beneath the fully certified bow helipad.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/394551/image/large-e8533ea30c2ed8e2e225e869cbbe9c3b.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/394551">“Innovation in glass has long been a hallmark of Lürssen,” says Peter Lürssen. “From <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/237" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Rising Sun138.6m (454'9&quot;)Lürssen Yachts2004">Rising Sun</a> to <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/8278" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Kismet122.0m (400'3&quot;)Lürssen Yachts2024">Kismet</a>, and now <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/10233" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Nausicaä114.2m (374'8&quot;)Lürssen Yachts2026">Nausicaä</a>, we continue to push the boundaries of scale and structural complexity, creating spaces that are both aesthetically dramatic and functional for our clients. It is rare to find a modern <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/23" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Lürssen Yachts (Company)">Lürssen</a> yacht that does not break new ground in glass engineering.”<a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/10233" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Nausicaä114.2m (374'8&quot;)Lürssen Yachts2026">Nausicaä</a> was commissioned by a visionary owner who worked closely with the team at <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/4739" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Marc Newson Ltd (Company)">Marc Newson</a>. Among her standout features is a striking skydome composed of seven glass panes, each measuring 3,000 by 2,800 millimetres, 62 millimetres thick and weighing approximately 1,050 kilograms. The skydome accommodates an expansive 56-square-metre owner’s office. The area benefits from an impressive 3.15-metre head height and opens onto a private sky terrace, creating a distinctive alfresco dining space for the owner."The engineering behind the Skydome required each pane to be hot-bent by gravity under precisely controlled conditions. This process was validated through multiple prototype bending and lamination tests on full-size 1:1 mock-ups, before a single production pane was made," the shipyard added.<a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/10233" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Nausicaä114.2m (374'8&quot;)Lürssen Yachts2026">Nausicaä</a>'s&nbsp;design takes a highly unconventional approach. Rather than a traditional main saloon, the yacht opens into a dramatic double-height atrium, with the main deck conceived as an art gallery. A large sculptural installation forms the centrepiece, surrounded by bespoke artworks that can be arranged throughout the open plan area.Above, a circular upper-deck gallery provides a viewing platform over the atrium, while the upper aft section is dedicated to hospitality, featuring a sushi bar, a table tennis area, and integrated seating. Every detail throughout the yacht has been custom designed by <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/4739" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Marc Newson Ltd (Company)">Marc Newson</a>.Spread across six decks, the yacht’s aft area is particularly generous. It spans the full 18-metre beam and features a central Jacuzzi alongside a swimming pool suitable for both lap swimming and diving.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/394552/image/large-f68d555f6ced3349ede822e38b484fcd.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/394552">At the far aft, a substantial dry dock houses the 12.5-metre sportsfish tender. It is launched using a sledge mechanism that extends over the swim platform and into the water, with a lifting capacity of up to 16 tonnes. Once the tender is deployed, the system retracts, revealing a protected, teak-finished space. This area can then be enclosed by a flat hydraulic beam, sealing it off when required.<a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/10233" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Nausicaä114.2m (374'8&quot;)Lürssen Yachts2026">Nausicaä</a> features an estimated interior volume of around 6,300 GT and a beam of 18-metres. Comprising two primary and three auxiliary engines, her propulsion system delivers power to fully electric Azimuth pods. A two megawatt battery installation allows all hotel services to operate simultaneously at peak load, supporting silent cruising with zero local emissions for extended periods. She has also been engineered with provision for a future methanol fuel cell system, designed to produce electricity through the conversion of methanol into hydrogen.

37m Numarine yacht One Zero for sale

37-metre Numarine explorer yacht One Zero has been listed for sale with Alexander Kaev of Phoenix Yachts. 

Born not from market demand but from a visionary’s insistence that nothing afloat quite matched an owner’s ambition of circumnavigating the globe, is <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/29" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Hemisphere44.2m (145'0&quot;)Pendennis Shipyard Ltd2011">Hemisphere</a>, a 44.2-metre sailing catamaran. Her captain, Gavin Bladen, who has been with the superyacht since her birth, shares the story of how a search turned into a choice to build, eventually allowing the captain, the yacht’s owner as well as charter guests to circumnavigate the globe and experience some of the world’s most spectacular sights along the way.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/258035/image/large-831af2adae2c1c19c203ed188fb6fc4a.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/258035">From searching to buildingFollowing a three-month pursuit of finding the right naval architect, the search led to <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/39" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="VPLP Design (Company)">VPLP</a> in Paris and architects Marc Van Peteghem and Vincent Lauriot-Prévost.

From Columbia to the Mediterranean and from India all the way to the Caribbean, there isn’t an ocean <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/29" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Hemisphere44.2m (145'0&quot;)Pendennis Shipyard Ltd2011">Hemisphere</a> hasn’t crossed.For Captain Gavin, who has had the joy of navigating the sailing catamaran and her crew of 10 along on all these adventures, French Polynesia remains the ultimate cruising ground. “If I could only charter in one country for the rest of my life, it would be French Polynesia.”With over four years of experience cruising French Polynesia, Captain Gavin and his crew know the archipelago like the back of their hand. “It’s stunning, the water wildlife is amazing and the diving is phenomenal.” It’s the type of place that leaves a lasting impression on charter guests and crew alike. “There are spots where we can put our guests in the water with 500 to 700 grey reef sharks during a single dive in South Fakarava in the Tuamotus.”<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/394790/image/large-e498eca3b04e1a3bcfa3d7e89794c902.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/394790">Such immersion into wildlife is central to the yacht’s ethos. In Papua New Guinea, guests have ventured into rainforest villages to witness fire dancers, while in Australia, <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/29" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Hemisphere44.2m (145'0&quot;)Pendennis Shipyard Ltd2011">Hemisphere</a> supported filming ‘Welcome to Earth’ for National Geographic. The episode featuring <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/29" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Hemisphere44.2m (145'0&quot;)Pendennis Shipyard Ltd2011">Hemisphere</a>, titled ‘Power of Scent’, highlights the relationship of tiger sharks and the critical nesting site for green turtles at Raine Island on the Great Barrier Reef. She became the first foreign-flagged superyacht to legally charter in Australia under the relevant regulations, a milestone that underscores her operational ambition.Captain Gavin has navigated the sailing catamaran to the Norwegian fjords, where guests outfitted with crampons traversed ice and dined next to waterfalls. In New Zealand, charter itineraries combined time cruising through Milford Sound and diving expeditions off Stewart Island with time ashore in varying wine regions.

Half of Gavin’s current crew has been with him and <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/29" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Hemisphere44.2m (145'0&quot;)Pendennis Shipyard Ltd2011">Hemisphere</a> for over eight years, and one crew member has been onboard for 12 years.&nbsp;In today’s industry, the retention of crew is much rarer than when Gavin joined: “When I started in the industry, it was about travelling, about adventure and getting the experience.” Considering the remote destinations the superyacht travels, <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/29" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Hemisphere44.2m (145'0&quot;)Pendennis Shipyard Ltd2011">Hemisphere</a>’s crew remains eager not only to adventure, but to share the experience with both the owner and charter guests too.<a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/29" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Hemisphere44.2m (145'0&quot;)Pendennis Shipyard Ltd2011">Hemisphere</a> usually sees about 10 to 11 weeks of charter per year, with guests that are as adventurous as her crew, often returning for new voyages across varying regions. Plans for the coming day are discussed between dinner courses, and largely centre around diving and fishing excursions. However, she is also a phenomenal platform for more conventional trips around the Mediterranean; and is outfitted with comprehensive equipment”. The yacht has comprehensive equipment and expertise onboard with the entire crew being well-versed in various water activities. The captain himself comes from a diving background, “I used to be on the great on the Great Barrier Reef”; a place Gavin still loves to take travellers to.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/394789/image/large-4f08bf2a54885a2811a70ed54fd56e57.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/394789">Sailing towards new horizonsCaptain Gavin and <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/29" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Hemisphere44.2m (145'0&quot;)Pendennis Shipyard Ltd2011">Hemisphere</a> are inseparable, having been part of her every bolt placed and kilometre travelled, yet the iconic superyacht is now looking for a new owner, and is for sale with <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/159" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Burgess (Company)">Burgess</a>. Ideally the new owner would be someone who is aligned with the yacht’s original vision, someone who is willing to maintain her properly, invest in her crew and continue chartering her across the globe.&nbsp;The captain highlights that it’s about “finding the right person. There's no rush.” The current owner is looking to tidy up certain elements of his life, yet he is still actively travelling with the yacht and has always been active onboard, diving and fishing &nbsp;around the world alongside his friends and family.The bond that exists between the captain, the owner and the yacht is the result of 22 years of working together and seeing some of the most beautiful places in the world; something the captain hopes to share with whomever will come to own <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/29" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Hemisphere44.2m (145'0&quot;)Pendennis Shipyard Ltd2011">Hemisphere</a> next.&nbsp;<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/258061/image/large-7da029ca8bbaa54455d5cd21ee70d634.jpeg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/258061">
