Launch of Natori Superyacht

On Feb 14, 2009, Baglietto launched its 41-meter superyacht Natori. The Natori yacht will be available for charter through Camper & Nicholsons International.

The luxury vessel has accommodation space for 10 guests in five cabins. Of course, it is fully equiped with the latest high-tech entertainment systems, watersports toys and else.

Casino Royale Super Yacht

Casino Royale is the name of the latest in a long list of James Bond-inspired super-yachts. The 163ft yacht owned by John Staluppi was built by Millennium Yachts and the Christensen Shipyard. With a maximum speed of 18 knots the Casino Royale isn’t really fast compared to other yachts in its class, but it offers quite a lot of space considering its length: More than 650 square meters on board, fully furnished and equiped with a high-luxury interior designed by Jeanette Staluppi and Carol Williamson Associates. The master stateroom and the guest cabins, one of them a big VIP suite, are well-appointed. The sky lounge is a party room that also has an entertainment area with a big cinema screen.

Mad Summer Superyacht Trial

Lürssen is going to deliver a total of 5 superyachts in 2008. Inter alia: Martha Ann (70m), Bounty Hunter (60m), Bermuda (77m) and, of course, Mad Summer (79m). Lürssen is also planning to deliver a 150m yacht this year.
