68M LUXURY YACHT

This 68m luxury yacht was built by prestigious German shipyard Abeking & Rasmussen and launched in 2020. Her exterior styling and naval architecture was produced by the shipyard, who chose a raked bow and white hull and matching superstructure with sweeping lines for an imposing modern design. The interiors come from Focus Yacht Design, who created elegant and relaxing settings using a monochrome palette and matte and gloss textures that amplify the natural light across the decks. The accommodation provides for up to 12 guests and is unusual in that the Master suite is placed on the Owners’ deck and the other five cabins are all on the main deck. On board is a professional crew of 17 to ensure that all guests receive first-class service.

EXTERIOR

The lower deck swim platform is a large and welcoming area for guests arriving aboard by tender, and connects through to the delightful beach club ideal for relaxing beside the water. There is also a gym to starboard within the beach club, and the fold-down terrace allows fresh air and sunlight into the interior.

Two statement stairways sweep up to the main deck aft, where a C-shaped sofa and coffee tables are placed aft, followed by bar and then a circular alfresco dining table to seat all 12 guests in the shade. Side walkway lead to stairways up to the foredeck, where there is a forward-facing sofa beneath the library windows and two additional sofas to be found in the forward corners for quiet moments with music or reading material away from the outdoor social hubs.

The upper deck aft is a private space off the Master suite, and is sparsely furnished with a small alfresco dining table, two sofas farther aft and two coffee tables. The free space can be used for outdoor exercise such as yoga.

The sundeck aft can be accessed from the interior or the Owners’ deck aft, and this final space provides a generous raised Jacuzzi surrounded by sunbeds along the stern and a bar with stools curving around the rim. The forward to port corner is fitted with a sofa and raised table for alfresco dining in the shade.

INTERIOR

The lower deck places the crew accommodation, mess and facilities forward with the amidships section containing water toys storage to starboard, which is launched and retrieved using a side hatch. Behind is the engine room, followed by a spacious beach club area complete with adjoining gym and spa massage room.

On the main deck, the bow section contains the tenders, which are safely launched and retrieved through side hatched using cranes. The guest accommodation is placed forward, with the formal dining area aft to seat up to 12 guests around an elongated oval table in ambient modern surroundings. The open plan setting leads to the formal dining area, where a pair of L-shaped sofas, coffee tables and armchairs are clustered together to form an intimate social space. The cabinetry between the dining area and the salon conceals a pop-up widescreen TV for entertainment day or night.

The Owners’ deck features a library/lounge forward with sofas clustered around coffee tables in the centre of the room to benefit from 180° views and a pop-up widescreen TV that can be concealed within the cabinetry. The section behind leads through to the Master suite via a private office.

Up on the sundeck, the helm station contains a sofa where guests can unwind while at anchor or enjoy the action as she cruises from one destination to the ext. The Captain’s cabin and crew spaces are behind, however a hallway leads out to the amenities on the sundeck aft.

A pair of MTU 12V 4000 M65R engines producing 1,492kW @ 1,600 RPM give a maximum speed of 16.2 knots and a cruising speed of 14 knots with a transatlantic range of 4,500 nautical miles at 13 knots.
