While the London-based design firm <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/161" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="H2 Yacht Design (Company)">H2 Yacht Design</a> may be best known for its work within the Turkish superyacht sector, having designed more than 30 yachts in the region, the company’s canon is varied in both design style and yacht type. Led by the inimitable Jonny Horsfield, whose frank, straight talking attitude has led to many close relationships with builders and clients, the studio is home to a deep level of expertise, with a team that specialise in some of the most detailed work found in the global fleet. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/308201/image/large-7f656666f3ac42ed60e82c2ef71ff971.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/308201">A automotive designer by training, Jonny found his place in yacht design in the late 80s somewhat by chance, cutting his teeth under Martin Francis – designer of the highly recognisable superyachts <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/11" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="A 119.0m (390'5&quot;)Blohm & Voss GmbH2008">Motor Yacht A</a>, <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/5626" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Golden Odyssey123.2m (404'2&quot;)Lürssen Yachts2015">Golden Odyssey</a>&nbsp;and <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/901" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Zeus74.5m (244'5&quot;)Blohm & Voss GmbH1991">ECO&nbsp;</a>(to name a few). Returning to London in the early-90s, he joined the team at Donald Starkey, alongside Pascale Reymond and Andy Langton, future founders of <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/56" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Reymond Langton Design Ltd. (Company)">Reymond Langton Design</a>. Under Starkey, Jonny specialised in interior design, and he describes those years as “the best years of learning for my career.”When Starkey let the team go during the 1993 recession, Jonny and Steve Howard, another of Starkey’s team, decided to go it alone, utilising their experience and contacts gained under Don to pick up work within the Turkish refit market. Officially coining the company <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/161" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="H2 Yacht Design (Company)">H2 Yacht Design</a> (Horsfield and Howard being the two Hs), <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/206" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Yachting Partners International (Company)">Yachting Partners International</a> became a major advocate for the brand’s early success and the refit work was considerable. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/77954/image/large-842bee5b9290948276598155fd15d277.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/77954">“It was a different refit market back then, quick and somewhat dirty, but we learned a lot about costs, budgeting and about how to keep the client happy. The issue was that we really weren’t building a reputation in the new-build sector so changing that perspective took a lot of work.” By 2006 however, <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/161" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="H2 Yacht Design (Company)">H2</a> landed its first new-build with the interior of Talisman C, now <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/373" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Talisman Maiton54.2m (177'10&quot;)Turquoise Yachts2006">Talisman Maiton</a>, at Proteksan, the shipyard that went on to become <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/224" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Turquoise Yachts (Company)">Turquoise</a>. That first build set the ball rolling for new-builds and also forged a hugely successful relationship with the shipyard. <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/161" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="H2 Yacht Design (Company)">H2</a> has now launched 10 <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/224" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Turquoise Yachts (Company)">Turquoise</a> yachts, with two more currently in-build.&nbsp;<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/280772/image/large-6a60d2ad84d85ed0a07b797a98158dc2.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/280772">While Turkish yachts are only part of the <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/161" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="H2 Yacht Design (Company)">H2</a> story, they do make up nearly half of the studio’s portfolio and in some ways Jonny has taken some negative heat over the years for the interior styling of a number of the yachts. The recent launch of the 80-metre <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/1414" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Bilgin Yachts (Company)">Bilgin</a> superyacht <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/6653" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Leona80.0m (262'6&quot;)Bilgin Yachts2023">Leona</a>, which made it onto the cover of a number of publications and garnered millions of views on social media, is an example of one yacht that, while divisive, demonstrates <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/161" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="H2 Yacht Design (Company)">H2’</a>s capabilities when it comes to bespoke superyacht interiors.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/280861/image/large-4fdcc27bcbf5b4f9f516e9fde5e7b11d.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/280861"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/280792/image/large-6a058140153c6376373dfa183966f71c.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/280792">“<a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/6653" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Leona80.0m (262'6&quot;)Bilgin Yachts2023">Leona</a>’s interior is not my style, it's not representative necessarily of the studio’s style, but it also isn’t the role of a yacht designer to force their own style on a client. We never expected <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/6653" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Leona80.0m (262'6&quot;)Bilgin Yachts2023">Leona</a> to be for sale and certainly didn’t expect her to attend a yacht show. For everyone that likes the boat, there is someone that hates it, but it was made for a client who had a very clear vision and it is that vision that we succeeded in creating, which I am proud of.” <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/308206/image/large-38f1f816e359a30c413d3090aca6893e.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/308206">While <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/6653" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Leona80.0m (262'6&quot;)Bilgin Yachts2023">Leona</a>, and somewhat the <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/224" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Turquoise Yachts (Company)">Turquoise</a> yacht <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/6437" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Jewels53.0m (173'11&quot;)Turquoise Yachts2023">Jewels</a> launched in 2022, are at one end of the spectrum, other Turkish yachts have also raised the bar for <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/161" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="H2 Yacht Design (Company)">H2</a> and its global positioning.

Comparing the two boats Jonny explains, “when you look at her you think, that is a spaceship, but in a way her exterior was easier to design, because the brief was ‘do whatever you want, go wild’. Whereas for <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/6415" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Arrow74.98m (245'12&quot;)Feadship2020">Arrow</a> the brief was very particular and fairly conservative and that restriction can be challenging. In a way I am more proud of <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/6415" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Arrow74.98m (245'12&quot;)Feadship2020">Arrow</a> and the way we created this ultra-modern and sleek yacht within more traditional proportions.”&nbsp;While talking about large yachts, it's impossible to not to mention <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/5306" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="REV Ocean (Company)">REV Ocean</a>, which is due to be the largest yacht in the world when launched in 2026. Now expected to be around 195-metres, <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/5306" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="REV Ocean (Company)">REV</a> has been through some highly publicised delays and developments, but despite the broad exposure, <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/161" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="H2 Yacht Design (Company)">H2</a>’s has gone somewhat unmentioned. Involved in the project from a very early point, the owner of <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/5306" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="REV Ocean (Company)">REV</a>, the Norwegian businessman Kjell Inge Røkke, first saw <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/161" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="H2 Yacht Design (Company)">H2</a>’s work onboard the 107.4-metre Ulysses (now <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/4946" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Andromeda107.4m (352'4&quot;)Kleven Maritime AS2016">Andromeda</a>) at the <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Event/13" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Monaco Yacht Show - 2018">Monaco Yacht Show 2018</a>. “He didn’t necessarily like the interior of Ulysses, but Kjell admired what we had done at a commercial shipyard, using cruise ship technology and a tight budget, to create a superyacht finish and so we were commissioned to create the interiors of REV.”<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/308208/image/large-f0eaa1a977e141fe4c590f8d017fa765.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/308208"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/308207/image/large-9548aa44296343ae53a771e521687c0c.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/308207">With <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/5306" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="REV Ocean (Company)">REV</a>’s construction now back underway, Jonny and the team have kicked back into gear, digging out the drawings and revising the interiors, where possible, to align with the new exterior. Kept tightly under wraps, Jonny describes her interiors as “minimal and quite industrial, almost like an apartment in regards to the architecture and aesthetic, with features such as perforated metal doors. It was a really enjoyable project to work on and I’m looking forward to getting stuck back into it over the coming months.”&nbsp;While its portfolio is broad, and Jonny remains firm on the stance that <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/161" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="H2 Yacht Design (Company)">H2</a> does not have a house style, when pushed he does infer that the <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/1414" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Bilgin Yachts (Company)">Bilgin</a> superyacht <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/3262" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Tatiana33.3m (109'3&quot;)Bilgin Yachts2006">Tatiana</a> is most closely aligned with his own stylistic taste. “I would say that ‘house style’ changes over time and develops with the market. <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/3262" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Tatiana33.3m (109'3&quot;)Bilgin Yachts2006">Tatiana</a> has been a really great project for us and we have seen a lot of demand for the modern and neutral aesthetic – you will recognise it to an extent in Al Reem which is due for launch this year. It's a new thing for me to be ‘mainstream’ because we’ve created so many bespoke and ‘unique’ yachts that this is a very positive moment for the studio.” <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/308204/image/large-7e2f73825573a7a526aef0b641b9bd23.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/308204">This article is featured in <a href="https://www.superyachttimes.com/yacht-news/issue-48-superyacht-times-newspaper" target="_blank">Issue 48</a> of the SuperYacht Times newspaper. <a href="https://shop.superyachttimes.com/report/the-superyacht-times-subscription" target="_blank">Subscribe now</a> to receive your copy straight to your door and never miss another issue.

Lürssen superyacht Golden Odyssey in Portsmouth

The 123m superyacht Golden Odyssey, built by Lürssen, is seen here cruising in Portsmouth, United Kingdom.

With 2022 nearly a wrap, <a href="https://superyachttimes.ac-page.com/homepage" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="">SYT iQ</a> has taken a look back at the sales figures for the year – and rather than comparing them to pre-pandemic levels, we’ve done a year-on-year comparison to 2021 – and the figures are surprising. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/241340/image/large-9d572f9bc938600c848018ec5b0dd2ce.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/241340">Straight off the bat, it needs to be noted that there were nearly 200 fewer transactions closed this year than there were during the pandemic-induced boom in 2021. Last year brokers all around the world sold 456 used motor yachts and 37 used sailing yachts of 30 metres or more – it wasn’t just a record-breaking year, it saw close to 200 yachts added onto the annual average. Taking a preliminary look at 2022, sales have rebalanced to the pre-pandemic average of 2020, 2019 and 2018.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/251856/image/large-410e40346f783f7035d9d5ff70506a73.png" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/251856">Thus far in 2022, more than 300 used yachts of 30 metres and longer have been sold; interestingly, the average last known asking price of the yachts sold this year surpassed 2021 by more than €2 million. So even though fewer yachts have been sold this year, on average the price of these used yachts is more expensive than in 2021, which might point to a further tightening of the brokerage market. Last year the average last asking price was just over €11 million for yachts, which has jumped to €13.1m this year. Notably, there was a significant 10 percent decrease in the amount of days yachts spent on the market this year.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/252041/image/large-4f26eb68021633d583101adf5fa1c345.png" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/252041">In keeping with the used sales market trend, there was a substantial decrease in new orders this year compared to 2021. Last year a total of 312 new contracts over 30-metres were signed, 57 percent of which were between the 30 to 40 metre category and 5 percent in the 80 metre and above segment. This year, however, 202 new orders were signed; 51 percent were in the 30 to 40 metre category and 6 percent in the 80 metre and above.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/205414/image/large-41db81b83d07fd6570ab426267a5c782.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/205414">We also witnessed an unexpected sale this year, which was the result of the war in Ukraine and the subsequent blacklist placed on a collection of Russian oligarchs with direct links to the Kremlin.

Since having arrived in Bremen in October last year, the 123-metre superyacht Golden Odyssey has been spending the winter season moored along the banks of the Weser River at the shipyard where she was launched in 2015. Last week, the yacht cruised to the city of Hamburg where she is now hauled out at the Blohm + Voss shipyard undergoing warranty work.

Lürssen superyacht Golden Odyssey moves to B+V facility

The 85.2-metre Lürssen superyacht Pacific arrived in Bremerhaven yesterday as she made her way up the river Weser to reach Lürssen’s facility in Bremen. After a busy season cruising the Mediterranean, Pacific returned to her place of birth for the first time since having been launched in 2010. It is unclear whether Pacific will be conducting a short maintenance period before carrying on to cruise the winter season or, in fact, undergo an intensive 5-year winter refit period. Another large Lürssen superyacht, the 123-metre Golden Odyssey, is also currently visiting the Lürssen shipyard where she arrived just over a week ago.

<img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/161989/image/large-4ee0d22aaf8811e5f40ad637a558eae7.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/161989">

Pacific features an exterior design by Argentinian designer German Frers, with Bannenberg &amp; Rowell Design responsible for her interior spaces. Pacific accommodates up to 12 guests on board with a crew of 28. The owner’s deck is beautifully designed and guarantees the utmost relaxed privacy. MTU 20V4000 M93L 5,764hp diesel engines provide Pacific with a top speed of 20 knots. Since her delivery in 2010, Pacific has been circumnavigating the world, and has been spotted across the Pacific, Caribbean and Mediterranean seas. She was seen in Palma de Mallorca in the Balearics last week.

Superyacht Pacific returns to Lürssen

As many yachts are still enjoying a busy cruising season in the Caribbean or elsewhere around the world, we take a look at some of the coolest yachts currently spending time in Mediterranean Sea. The mild winter conditions, excellent winter refit facilities, and convenience of a centrally located home port might just be some of the reasons why these yachts are currently spending time on this side of the Atlantic.

 

Luna

After recently completing a major refit period in Germany that lasted over 12 months, the mighty 115m superyacht Luna has made her way to the Mediterranean and is currently in Toulon, France.

German shipyard Lürssen has launched the 125 metre Tatiana project, from their shipyard in Lemwerder, Germany. These photos were taken seconds ago, and are brought to you live from the launch location.<img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/152993/image/large-93566d0a1a1f57c0305234a8ef192fc1.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/152993"><img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/152994/image/large-33340bb69f4f9e2ee0645d52d04dc8d3.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/152994">Tatiana is the yacht's project name, and her true name will remain under wraps for a little while longer.

It has not been confirmed, but it is believed that Martin Francis is responsible for her design.<img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/152995/image/large-6760f5ddc78372bcd6dba8ca3654fb8e.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/152995"><img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/152996/image/large-8697ae85db061f5a2ced5dded915e66f.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/152996"><img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/152997/image/large-0859172e05261f0d843dd5ee44071fbc.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/152997">We plan to bring you more photos later today.By Maarten Janssen, photo by Merijn de Waard / <a href="http://www.superyachtphoto.com" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 13pt; line-height: 1.6em;" target="_blank">SuperYachtPhoto.com</a>

Exclusive: Lürssen launches 125 metre superyacht Tatiana

Regular contributor to our site, Martin Fischbacher has just sent us these new photos of the 125 metre Tatiana project, launched by Lürssen just before 3pm today. <img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/153029/image/large-7026eda424b211faef6a7b593d4fdbb4.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/153029">Tatiana measures 125 metres in length, has a gross tonnage of around 7,600. Although unconfirmed, from these photos it appears that there are wing stations just aft of the foredeck, indicating that her bridge is located on the lower of the three upper decks. It also appears that there could be a swimming pool aft on the same deck, as there is a cut-out on the deck above, in the same fashion as on Octopus.<img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/153030/image/large-1d83f08a123db34f38b929e085b3148c.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/153030"><img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/153031/image/large-1fa1f31844bf4f9d37cda2a8fd13f479.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/153031">More launch photos in <a href="#managed-by-application" data-legacy="true" data-gid="gid://syiq/Article/43886">this article</a>.By Maarten Janssen, photos by Martin Fischbacher
