Name: JAG
Length over all: 122 m / 400’
Beam overall: 17.80 m / 58’4’’
Builder: Lürssen Yachts
Exterior Designer: Nuvolari-Lenard
Interior Designer: Reymond Langton
Lürssen is proud to announce the successful launch and unveiling of project JAG. She was launched on 22 June 2021 in the traditional fashion: down the slipway! She is built for a very experienced repeat client, who upgraded from his former 96-metre Lürssen yacht.
JAG’s build was supervised by Moran Yacht & Ship, who have a long-standing relationship with the client. For them, as well as for the long-time captain Kyle Fultz, it is the third Lürssen yacht for the same owner, whom they have supported with their vast combined experience.
Exterior designer Nuvolari-Lenard has given JAG very harmonious proportions, and with a length of 122 metres (including bow sprit) and a beam of 17.80 metres she boasts extraordinary volumes, accommodating all of the owner’s requirements whilst still maintaining sleek and elegant lines. Her interior, designed by Reymond Langton, is a beautiful, bespoke homage to the owner’s lifestyle when on board his yacht.

The completed structure of the first Conrad C144S superyacht has been placed into the shipyard’s outfitting hall in Gdansk, Poland where the yacht’s interiors and equipment will be installed. The move reveals the first look of the 44.27-metre yacht’s completed silhouette.
The muscular lines of her exterior are the works of Reymond Langton Design. Her interior, also now well underway, has been designed by m2atelier.
Upon completion, she will be able to accommodate up to 10 guests across five staterooms, including a private owner’s suite and four VIP cabins, as well as nine crew members to take care of them.
The C144S offers ample leisure spaces including an aft platform beach club, four separate lounge areas, two bars and dining areas and an infinity pool on her sundeck. The owner of the first C144S is to visit the shipyard in March to check the progress of the project ahead of her expected delivery date in 2022. A second hull is also currently in-build.

The judges said selecting a winner from among the world’s largest and most luxurious yachts is always a notoriously difficult duty for the judges, given that they do not consider the individual tastes of owners, but focus their deliberations on quality, practicality, functionality and innovation. This year’s task was no exception. This class contained some exceptional yachts and while the ballot revealed extremely close scores, it showed Lady S, built by Feadship’s Royal Van Lent yard, with its elegant exterior design by Michael Leach and interiors by Reymond Langton, as the clear winner.
First, it was the elegance and harmony of her exterior lines that attracted the judges, whose gaze was then drawn past the decks’ practical features and luxurious furniture to the innovative layout that featured fire-pits on two levels, the largest sliding glass doors seen on any yacht, and a fully-certified helipad deck isolated from the bridge deck by a walkway. This, according to her builders, was the most detailed and complex exterior they had built to date in view of its radical shapes and complex engineering.
In the interior, the judges admired the huge windows and cool elegance of the owner and guest areas, and were fascinated by the boat’s many special features. These included a large gym on the bridge deck with expansive 180-degree views and a stunning beach club, as well as the only Dolby 3D IMAX cinema ever installed on a superyacht. This, the judges agreed, was a very special yacht.

Still lightyears ahead of her time, the 95.2-metre superyacht Kismet is a fine example of how project management, a strong chain of suppliers and engineers can help bring to life innovative design work and create astounding technical quality. Stationed at the Lürssen shipyard for the duration of the six-year build, the first-class team brought together for the project included interior designers Pascale Reymond and Jason Macaree from Reymond Langton Design, Espen Øino, List General Contractor (List GC) and Moran Yacht & Ship. The expertise and experience of these companies are what contributed to the crowning of Kismet one year after her delivery as the winner of the 2015 edition of the World Superyacht Awards.

German shipyard Nobiskrug has launched the 80 metre hybrid superyacht Artefact.
Designed by Gregory C Marshall, the yacht has hit the water at the yard’s Rendsburg facility in Germany after 18 months in construction. At 2,990GT, she is now the biggest-volume 80 metre superyacht in the world.
Managing director of Nobiskrug, Holger Kahl, said, “This project is a true example of the owner’s focus and his vision to build a distinctive state of the art hybrid superyacht with as many integrated environmentally friendly features as possible.”

We are honoured to receive win an award for Viatoris who won displacement motor yacht between 300GT and 499GT.
Viatoris was praised by the Judges for her attention was turned to the detail of their general arrangement plans, traffic flow, and other technical issues. he Judges had predominantly admired her lines, which were considered to be both timeless and elegant, while her interior layout was praised for its ideal distribution of the yacht’s volume between guest, crew, public and technical spaces.
An article from Boat International explained that Viatoris is not a yacht for those who yearn for speed as, powered by a pair of economical Caterpillar 500kW diesels, she has a cruising speed of 12-knots, but the benefits she reaps from this are a huge range of 11,100 nautical miles at her economical delivery speed of 8-knots and, aided by excellent sound insulation, also a supremely quiet interior.
The Judges also noted that her four ideally positioned fold-down balconies and adjacent sliding doors create a very airy interior, while her abundance of large windows and portlights provide excellent intimacy with the surrounding scenery and seascapes. The owner requested a yacht in which he could ‘feel at home and not like a guest in a hotel’ and the Judges felt that this long range ocean traveller has successfully provided this – and more.

Feadship unveiled its completed 93-metre superyacht Lady S at its new facility in Amsterdam this morning after the project known as hull 814 arrived here last month to receive its final touches ahead of delivery this spring.
The yacht’s final profile shape can now be fully appreciated after its curved deck balconies and wing stations have been fitted. According to Edmiston, which has listed Lady S as part of its charter fleet, the yacht “is set to become the best-equipped charter yacht in the world” with her commercial helicopter landing pad, IMAX cinema, basketball court and large swimming pool named as just some of the highlights which guests can look forward to.
Built for an experienced owner, designers Michael Leach and Reymond Langton Design worked on the exterior and interior design of the project respectively.

The judges all remarked on the sophistication of Volpini 2’s interior lighting. From stair treads that appear to oat on glowing risers to ambient light that escapes from pockets stitched into walls, the lighting stood out among all interior entrants. Reymond Langton and Amels deserve kudos for the attention and expertise brought to the lighting plan of the inaugural boat of this series.

Dutch yard Heesen Yachts has delivered its 49.4 metre yacht Omaha following successful sea trials in the North Sea.
Previously known as Project Maia, Omaha reached a top speed of 16 knots during her “intensive” sea trials which took place in favourable conditions.
The yard also reported that the 499GT steel and aluminium yacht was “extremely manoeuvrable” and credited this to her large rudders and power steering unit.
The yacht will now leave the Dutch yard and embark on her maiden voyage in the Mediterranean.
Initially built on speculation and sold in December 2017 by Heesen USA and Ocean Independence, this yacht features exterior design by Clifford Denn and an interior décor of light bleached oak and stained walnut by Reymond Langton Design.
The two studios previously collaborated on the yard’s 2015 launch Ann G, and Omaha shares a couple of her key features, such as the foredeck tender locker. Meanwhile, the flowing lines, aft fashion plates and navigation lights were inspired by classic cars.
Accommodation is for up to ten guests spread across five lavish staterooms, including a main deck master cabin and four lower deck guest cabins. Key details include inboard mirrors to reflect the light flooding in through the windows, as well as subtle recessed lighting and integrated artwork panels.
Jason Macaree from Reymond Langton explained, “We were aiming for a liveable and homely feel with an emphasis on light. We are confident that this will be a very special yacht.”
“We tried to keep a similar DNA to Ann G,” Denn added. “The superstructure design is inspired by hammerhead sharks and the raised bulwarks will hide the tenders from view, creating a clean profile.’
Moving the tenders to the bow means more space in the transom for a luxurious superyacht beach club, complete with bar and sauna. Heesen added that the 68 square metre sundeck has been fitted with a superyacht spa pool and a cocktail bar.
Power comes from a pair of 1,341hp MTU 8V4000 M63 diesel engines for a top speed of 15 knots and a transatlantic cruising range of 3,800 nautical miles at 12 knots.
Omaha is the first yacht in the new Heesen 50 Steel collection, replacing the outgoing 47 Steel, which spawned 13 hulls in total.
Omaha’s sister ship Project Triton is currently under construction at the shipyard and is set for a February 2020 delivery.

Dutch builder Amels has successfully delivered its latest superyacht, Volpini 2 – its first hybrid-powered vessel. The 57.7-metre Limited Edition yacht is the first delivered from the Amels 188 design, marking the world’s first Tier III compliant new build yacht with Amels’ own hybrid switchboard and waste heat recovery systems.
Following her delivery, Volpini 2 is currently on her way to the Mediterranean. Amels first introduced its Limited Edition 188 design at the Monaco Yacht show in 2015. The eighth edition in this successful range, not only is Volpini 2 longer than her sisters from the Amels 180 series, she is also larger in size, featuring an internal volume of 970 GT.
The Dutch builder teamed up with designer Tim Heywood once more to create the exterior design of the project, while her owners chose to work with Reymond Langton for her custom interiors. Able to accommodate up to 12 guests, Volpini 2 features an 80-square-metre master suite, with a folding balcony in addition to six suites, including a VIP suite on the bridge deck. In addition, her crew quarters allow for a crew of up to 13. Other stand out features include a 30-square-metre beach club at the stern, next to a wellness centre and gym.
“This design is an important milestone for Amels,” said Hans Konings, Amels Design Manager. “We’re very proud of the technology innovations that have gone into her design, the culmination of our Amels 188 Research and Development programme, which we started in 2014.”
The International Maritime Organization’s Tier III emissions regulations currently require new motor yachts over 500 GT with a global cruising area and a keel laid after 1 January 2016 to reduce the harmful NOX emissions in their engine exhaust gases by approximately 70 percent.
“With our Amels Limited Editions approach to yacht building, we need to look further ahead and anticipate the demands of our future clients,” added Konings. “That’s why as far as we understand, we are the world’s first new build yard to reach this milestone. What began as a challenge for our industry just a few years ago is now becoming standard practice – to the benefit of our environment.”

98 metre Abeking & Rasmussen yacht Aviva was spotted making her way up the Thames in London on July 2, 2018. The yacht, which was last seen in New York just a month ago, passed some of the British capital’s famous riverside landmarks before finally anchoring in front of Tower Bridge.
Delivered in 2017, Aviva was designed by Reymond Langton Design and offers accommodation for up to 16 guests. Her roomy 17.2 metre beam makes room for a number of impressive lifestyle features, including a full-size padel court, which won her a Judges’ Special Award at the World Superyacht Awards 2018.

On Saturday 19th May 2018 Reymond Langton were proud to win a Neptune for our latest design Aviva during The World Superyacht Awards in Florence. Aviva won the award for Judges Special Award. Please see the article below for words from judges and Boat International.
Judges’ Special Award: Aviva
There was little doubt among the judges that Aviva is not only extremely well built, but a very special yacht. From first sight, her flowing modern lines and attractive hull colour draws one’s attention but the thrill continues for those privileged to see her interior, which is perfectly customised to the needs of an owner who lives aboard full time. Flowing lines also dominate an agreeable general arrangement plan, but the most unexpected feature is the padel court (one third the size of an LTA court) that sits at the heart of her lower deck, a quite unique facility that is used every day by the owner, guests or crew. So many judges were enthusiastic about this yacht – a close runner-up in this class – that the award of a Neptune in the form of a Judges’ Special Award was proposed and readily accepted by the whole jury.

Not too many years ago if someone was asked to name a female yacht designer, it would have been tricky to think of even one. Now times are changing and it isn’t just in design. Women have been making their mark across the industry and they’re making a big impact. In honour of International Women’s Day, we have been catching up with a few of the fabulous women in the business to find out how they got into yachting, why they are so passionate about it and whether they feel happiest on land or on the water.
Pascale Reymond: Managing Director of Reymond Langton Design
What is it about the yachting industry you are passionate about?
People working in this industry are very passionate about what they do and this is very contagious.
What is the favourite design you’ve completed?
It would have to be 91m Lady Lara exterior styling and Mogambo for the interior.
What are three of your most proud achievements?
• Setting up Reymond Langton Design
• Winning Serene, a 134m yacht contract without having any yachts completed at the time to show
• 75% of our workforce are women and I am very proud to promote all these super talented persons in the yachting industry
Tell us something about you that might surprise us?
I am a qualified archaeologist and have done many excavations in Italy, France, and the most disturbing one was in the heart of a 12th-century church where I was surrounded by many ancient bodies.
When are you most content – on the water or on land?
On my paddle board, at my beach hut in the south of France which is literally 2 metres away from the most wonderful turquoise water.

Following her launch at the Abeking & Rasmussen shipyard in January this year, the 98-metre superyacht Aviva was put to the test yesterday out on the North Sea. The SYT media team caught her in action for the first time as she sliced through the waters off the German coast during sea trials as captured in these exclusive aerial photos by photographer Tom van Oossanen.
Aviva’s design is the work of design studio Reymond Langton, who also designed her owner’s smaller, 68-metre, yacht by the same name that was launched back in 2007. The team worked with Toby Silverton on the exterior of the yacht.
Her gigantic interior spaces are described by the yard as ‘mystical’. The layout was designed to incorporate a full-sized paddle tennis court that measures an impressive 20 metres x 10 metres x 6 metres.
The effects of her efficient hull shape, said to reduce drag by up to 20%, is clearly visible in these images as she powered through the calm waters off Wilhelmshaven driven by her hybrid propulsion system that allows for a top speed of 11 knots without the use of her main engines.
With outfitting on board virtually complete, Aviva is expected to be handed over to her owner upon successful completion of her sea trials.
