FEATURED YACHTS

scheherazade sailing yacht

(EX. SCHEHERAZADE)

154' ketch.

The best technologies of the past and future were combined to create 154-foot (47 meter) Asolare (ex. Scheherazade). Every detail was carefully considered and flawlessly crafted. Designed by Bruce King Yacht Design without portholes so the exterior could exist as a continuous hull form, she’s a beautiful and highly powerful sailing yacht. Hundreds of hand-crafted carvings and details were blended with state-of-the-art construction and technology.

Every detail of the  Winch Designs  designed interior was carefully considered and flawlessly crafted. The furniture features harlequin bookmatched fiddle back sycamore panels cored for weight reduction and structural stability. All of the exquisite interior joinery was hand crafted by Hodgdon Yachts.

124' SLOOP

Antonisa, a 124-foot (37.8 meter) sloop designed by Bruce King Yacht Design, features highly detailed black cherry interior woodwork incorporated with modern engineering, systems, and technology.  Hodgdon’s passion for excellence is reflected in many details that may typically go unnoticed, including classic Bruce King designed joinery. Complex moldings sawn to shape from solid pieces of wood and various design elements are carried throughout the boat.

100' SUPER MAXI

Designed by  VPLP / Verdier  and constructed in the largest marine oven in the United States in just 12 months, Superyacht Comanche is intended to be the fastest monohull ever built. She is constructed of pre-preg carbon fiber, resulting in an extremely light and strong hull and features a canting keel, daggerboards, water ballast and large sail area. Comanche features a wide, shallow hull and high power-to-weight ratio.

Comanche’s accomplishments include the following:

Setting the 24-hour monohull speed record of 618.01 miles (traveling at an average speed of 25.75 kts)

Line honors at the 2015, 2017, and 2019 Rolex Sydney Hobart Yacht Race

Setting a new race record in the 2017 Rolex Sydney Hobart Yacht Race

Breaking the Newport Bermuda Race record by almost 5 hours

Setting the new Transatlantic monohull West East record of 5 days, 14 hours, 21 minutes, 25 seconds (over 27 hours faster than the previous record)

DELTA HOUSE

(ex. windcrest), 98' ketch.

Designed by  Fontaine Design Group  with graceful overhangs and sweeping sheerline, 98-foot (29.9 meter) Delta House (ex. Windcrest) was designed for coastal cruising and offshore passages. Her impressive performance on the water is supported by a generous sail plan and one-touch sail control that includes in-boom furling. The exquisitely laid teak deck is enhanced by custom designed stainless steel and hydraulic winches. While traditional in appearance, Delta House (ex. Windcrest) is a sophisticated 21st century vessel.

Furniture panels are made of a flame crotch veneers and bulkhead panels are a flat-sawn cherry. Leather and fabrics complement the natural woods and selected upper panels are painted off-white. The entire interior was built by Hodgdon's in-house team.

(EX. YOREL)

83' custom motor yacht.

Built by Hodgdon to the highest specifications of the day, Kizbel (ex. Yorel) was designed by Eldridge-McInnis with modifications by Russ Woodin. Traditionally built at her original owner’s request, this luxury motor yacht has a surprisingly simple layout. The cabin sole throughout is teak and holly and overhead beams are capped with teak beamcaps, adding to the boat’s traditional interior. Kizbel offers accommodation for up to six guests, a crew of three, and is powered by 2 Duetz diesel engines and propelled by twin screw propellers. Complete with a modern stabilization system to reduce roll motion, she comfortably cruises at over 10.5 knots.

80' COMMUTER

Reminiscent of 1920’s Wall Street commuter yachts, Liberty is constructed using Hodgdon’s proprietary cold molded wood boat building techniques and combines traditional design with state-of-the-art materials and innovative systems. This 80-foot motor yacht – designed by Bruce King Yacht Design with interior designed by the owner and Allan Walton Design – is powered by a pair of 1,100-hp MAN diesel engines and comfortably cruises at over 25 knots.

The mahogany interior features an inlaid star pattern forward of the gallery, a rosette motif aft, and book-matched panels. This structured geometric patterning and combination of elegance and boldness provide an “art deco” feel. Every piece of decorative hardware and the portlights on Liberty are custom-cast. Tapering in size as the ports run forward, the portlights are the most unique of these castings. Much of the exterior hardware emulates the “art deco” designed interior.

65' SLOOP

Ideal for racing and extended open water cruising, 65-foot (18.9 meter) custom performance sailing yacht Prevail was designed by  Tripp Designs  and built to CE standards in the USA. The boat is comfortable, competitive, and easily driven, thanks to the hull shape and powerful sail plan. Below deck, there are three modern and luxurious cabins.

The boat’s interior features Alaskan Yellow Cedar inner hull skin ceilings, which provide an elegant modern look. The layout includes three cabins with ensuite heads, galley, salon, and interior navigation and steering station. All joinery is cherry honeycombed veneer and white-painted composite panels to reduce weight.

The numerous overhead ports and hatches combined with the lovely Andrew Winch interior create an atrium-like atmosphere in the main saloon.

The yacht’s composite hull construction method used western red cedar wood, Douglas fir, divinycell, balsa core and carbon. All of these materials were epoxied and vacuum bagged to create a strong, stiff and monolithic structure.

Luxury sailing yacht SCHEHERAZADE was not available for charter during the summer of 2011 however she will be available for charter in the Caribbean this winter season, based out of Antigua .

Below are photos of the sailing yacht Scheherazade taken in Halifax, Nova Scotia on August 29, 2011 by a Charterworld reader Brian William Hagell.

The harbour front was busy with tourists and locals enjoying the beautiful sunny day. There was a small, yet noticeable swell in the harbour, a leftover from Hurricane Irene. Nova Scotia was fortunate to miss much of the wind and rain that the Northeastern USA received.

The waterfront had the usual “buskers” entertaining along the walkway, Nova Scotian fiddlers and other musicians. Young families, strollers and joggers hurrying by, business men and women and tourists from near and far.

The masts of the charter yacht SCHEHERAZADE were clearly a standout on the waterfront. There was a steady stream of admirers enjoying the beauty of the S/Y Scheherazade. It is a pastime of Halifax harbour watchers to imagine who might be sailing on such a sleek boat. Perhaps a famous movie star. In Halifax, it has been known to happen!

She was spotless and well-polished, thanks to her hard working crew.

The Halifax boardwalk has been expanding and improved over the past years and now travels from Pier 21, the national immigration museum (Canada’s equivalent of Ellis Island in New York City) to Purdy’s Wharf, a twin tower office complex near the naval dockyards.

For those less adventurous but would like a little sailing experience Halifax offers several harbour tours such as the “the Mar II”, “the Silva”, the two Halifax ferryboats and on occasions, the Bluenose II. Naturally, there is even a “Harbour Hopper” seen coming in to look at Scheherazade.

Halifax, a safe and exciting port for any vessel and any sailor!

Italy impounds $700 million megayacht linked to Putin

scheherazade sailing yacht

ROME — Italian financial authorities said Friday that they have impounded a $700 million megayacht that has been linked in media reports and by anti-Kremlin groups to Russian President Vladimir Putin. But an element of mystery remains: Italy, in what it called its “ freezing decree ,” did not say who the owner might be.

Italian investigators had raced to investigate the vessel and prevent it from leaving the Tuscan port of Marina di Carrara. The yacht, known as the Scheherazade, had been undergoing repairs since before Russia invaded Ukraine. But this week, it returned to the water, according to a New York Times reporter who visited the marina, prompting fears that the vessel might depart and evade sanctions.

The ship, until the measures imposed Friday evening, would have been free to leave.

In announcing its action, Italy’s Finance Ministry said the yacht’s owner had “prominent” links with Russians already under European Union sanctions. The name of the owner was not specified, and Italy said only that its government had asked the E.U. to add the person to its sanctions list.

A spokesman for the Finance Ministry described Italy’s move as “provisional.”

Italy “proposed to the Council of the European Union the inclusion of the owner of the boat in the list,” the spokesman said. “Until then, the name cannot be public.”

In March, an investigation by the Italian daily La Stampa named the boat’s owner as Eduard Khudainatov, a former Russian oil executive. But the newspaper also raised a question about how somebody not listed as a billionaire could afford to purchase one of the world’s most luxurious yachts.

So, speculation about the Scheherazade has only intensified. Investigators working for jailed Russian opposition politician Alexei Navalny say the yacht’s owner is Putin himself. In March, Navalny’s team published what it said was the crew list of people who had worked on the yacht. They purportedly include members of the Russian state agency responsible for Putin’s personal protection.

“We think that this is a solid enough proof that Scheherazade belongs to Putin himself and must be immediately seized,” said Maria Pevchikh, the head of the Navalny-founded FBK investigation team.

The assets of Russia’s ruling and billionaire class are generally kept in tight secrecy, controlled on paper through opaque offshore companies. That has made it difficult in some cases for European countries to ascertain the real owners of villas, yachts and other luxury items. The Scheherazade is officially owned by an offshore company from the Marshall Islands, Pevchikh said.

Before Friday, Italy had managed to detain a $560 million megayacht connected to Andrey Melnichenko, a coal and fertilizer tycoon who is one of Russia’s 10 richest people. Italy has also blocked access to villas that oligarchs use as summer getaways.

By Katia Damborsky   1 June 2020

Still officially known as 'Project Lightning' the 140m (459ft) motor yacht SCHEHERAZADE  has been delivered and is currently undertaking her maiden voyage to Norway . 

First hitting the water in 2019, Project Lightning has now been delivered as  SCHEHERAZADE .

According to AIS tracking data, she left Lurssen's facilities in Bremen yesterday and is currently en route to Kristiansand, on Norway's southern coast. It comes after the 10,167 GT motor yacht  underwent her first round of sea trials in August 2019. 

Lurssen has kept all details about their fifth-largest superyacht delivery under wraps. It is being reported that the yacht's exterior styling comes from Espen Oeino, but this has not been confirmed by the yard.

Key design features of the six-deck superyacht include a pair of helipads- one on the foredeck and one on the aft deck. She also has impressive underwater lightning and high-volume interiors that allow for plenty of indoor spaces for relaxation and entertainment. 

Lurssen is on track for a busy 2020, with other deliveries including the 142m (466ft) motor yacht OPUS (or 'Project Redwood') scheduled for later this year. The yard also recently sent 87m superyacht 'Project Hawaii'  out on sea trials, signalling promising activity and good progress for Northern European shipyards amid the Coronavirus crisis.

The name Scheherazade comes from an Arabic term meaning "world-freer". In literature, Scheherazade is a legendary Arabic queen immortalized as the narrator of all one thousand stories in the 'One Thousand and One Nights'.

At 10,167 GT Scheherazade is believed to be the 6th largest Lurssen superyacht ever delivered. The largest Lurssen-built superyacht in terms of GT is 156m megayacht Dilbar with a GT of 15,917. At 139.29, Al Salamah has a larger volume of 12,234 GT.

It is not yet known whether M/Y SCHEHERAZADE will become available for superyacht charters .
