The largest yacht built by Italy-based CRN splashed in January, to great fanfare. The owner’s family attended along with 3,000 others, including every craftsperson who worked on her and their families, residents of CRN’s home base of Ancona and even the Chinese ambassador to Italy.
Jim Harris, of the interior-design firm J.W. Harris, has worked with the owners of Secret on more than a dozen homes and on a previous yacht, so he was a natural choice for this project.
While under construction, Oceanco referred to St. Princess Olga simply as Y708, her hull number. The late designer Alberto Pinto took her on as one of his last projects.
“Quattroelle” refers to what the owner considers the four most important Ls: Love, Life, Liberty and Luxury. You can even spy four Ls, grouped into two sets of interlocking letters, painted on her bow and mast.
Madame Gu, built under the project name Dream, is the largest Feadship thus far and the largest yacht built in Holland. You’ll have no trouble picking her out on the horizon due to her striking turquoise hull.
Azzam officially launched in April of this year, but Lürssen first floated her out of the build shed in late May of 2012 and towed her to another, longer shed to complete her bow section and uppermost superstructure.
Four years in the making, Feadship’s 324-foot-10-inch (99-meter) yacht, project name Dream, recently was launched in Makkum in the Netherlands. The Andrew Winch–designed Dream is the largest yacht built to date by Feadship.
A boat lover from a young age, this superstar and prolific designer usually lives on a boat or near the water where he can easily hop onto one of seven craft of all persuasions that he owns. Surprisingly, though the ocean is central to his life, he has only designed a handful of boats and yachts to date.
This past year saw the launch of a vessel that will likely unseat the current queen of the Top 100, Eclipse. Currently under lock and key at German builder Lürssen’s yard, speculations on ownership of this 591-foot (180-meter) yacht abound, but this wasn’t Lürssen’s only marquee moment.
Mario Pedol is a soft-spoken man not normally given to exclamations of flash and wow. But the recent news that Nauta Yachts was the designer of the 590-foot (180-meter) yacht Azzam, currently under construction at Lürssen, generated quite a buzz. Azzam, a long-time secret project, is believed to be 57 feet 4 inches (17.5 meters) longer than Eclipse, currently the world’s largest yacht.
