The German yacht builder Lürssen has handed over its latest new build, the 82 metre long “Haven”.
During its construction, the project was known as “Cali”. Now the newly built “Haven” has left Germany to embark on its maiden voyage.
As the Lürssen shipyard reports she was designed in-house, with interiors courtesy of the British design studio RWD. Commissioned by a family who enjoys outdoor activities, “Haven” was designed from the outside in, says Lürssen. A key highlight is a large 300 square-metre sun deck, complete with a Jacuzzi, an outdoor cinema and an al fresco cooking station with a pizza oven and barbeque. Movable windbreak panels provide shelter from all weather conditions.
The owner fell in love with first outline of the Lürssen yacht
Jim Robert Sluijter, Lead Exterior Designer at Lürssen, comments: “The owner fell in love with the first outline of the project, and as a result, ‘Haven’ has barely changed from the original sketch. ‘Haven’ feels very different from many other yachts; she has a practical and functional design that places great emphasis on outdoor living. Thanks to an interplay of light and glazing, all interior spaces are well connected with the outdoors.”
Peter Lürßen comments: “Kees de Keizer and his team, who oversaw the build on behalf of the owner, and RWD were exceptional partners throughout the construction of ‘Haven’, and the relationships they forged with our employees are incredibly robust. I would like to extend my gratitude to everyone involved in ‘Haven’; the results testify to their upstanding communications and commitment to the project.”
