Carinthia VII

Carinthia VII is one of the few yachts we have delivered twice. Built to an exterior design by Tim Heywood Design, her exterior lines are both timeless and influential. Her original palatial interiors by Fabrizio Frisardi have recently been reimaged by Bizzozero Cassina Architects, during an extensive refit completed at Lürssen in 2023. New features include a state-of-the-art gym, an 11- metre swimming pool, numerous restyling touches to both the interior and exterior, and a set of new zero speed stabilizers. The refit also brought her into class and Carinthia VII is now classified as a commercial yacht, ready for charter.

Carinthia VII

Motor Yacht

Carinthia VII is a 97.20m motor yacht built by Lurssen Yachts in 2002. Her timeless exterior lines and interior design are both the work of Tim Heywood.

The mega yacht, which benefitted from a refit in 2005, has a sleek steel hull and aluminium superstructure with a beam of 15.95m and a 4.80m draft.

As one of the largest yachts in the world, Carinthia VII is celebrated not only for her size, but for the simple beauty of her white superstructure and dark blue hull’s elegant lines.

Carinthia VII can accommodate up to 12 guests and is capable of carrying up to 15 crew members onboard.

With four MTU 8000 engines, Carinthia VII can reach an impressive 26 knots at top speed, with a cruising speed of 22 knots.

Boat of the Week: This 318-Foot Gigayacht Got a New Glassed-In Gym After a Massive Makeover

The most eye-catching changes are a 36-foot glass-paneled swimming pool on the main deck aft and a 968-square-foot air-conditioned gym on the bridge deck. That space used six tons of folding glass doors to create a winter garden. It’s complemented by a large cinema screen.

Perhaps the most significant change, though, is the yacht’s conversion from private to commercial use to allow Carinthia VII to enter the charter market. “The deal was made for the boat to come to our facility on a handshake, and then we only had a couple of days to prepare between the handshake and Carinthia VII sailing up to Hamburg,” Thomas Krischkowski, head of refit and repair at Lürssen, told Robb Report .

The list of technical upgrades completed by Lürssen includes a new waterpower treatment, a full sprinkler system, 18.6 miles of cable for a new AV/IT system, new exhaust filters and fully overhauled engines and zero speed stabilizers. The yacht also had to meet new SOLAS stability requirements to be a charter vessel.

In 2002, when the Austrian billionaire Heidi Horten commissioned Project Faberge, as Carinthia VII was originally known, expectations ran high. The yacht paid homage to the fleet of Carinthia s owned and built by her late husband Helmut Horten, three of which were designed by Jon Bannenberg.

As one of only a handful of women to commission one of the largest yachts in the world, Horten called upon one of Bannenberg’s protégés, a young Tim Heywood, to pen the design.

Horten had become an overnight sensation in the art world six years before commissioning the superyacht, after she spent $22 million in a single Sotheby’s auction. Renowned for her keen eye, she ensured Carinthia VII reflected a similar level of artisanal craftsmanship.

The original curved laminated teak planking, forward of the owner’s deck and bridge deck, is described by Fraser broker Antoine X. Larricq, who managed the sale, as “haute-couture detailing.”

Other original features include the thick exterior teak decks and cross-hatched parquet floors, which remain in fantastic condition, largely because Horten only used the yacht for her annual summer cruise.

The new owner, also a keen art collector, had two strict requests for the refit: to seamlessly marry the old with the new, and for the shipyard to complete the work within 300 days, so he could enjoy the winter cruising season. He enlisted Italian studio Bizzozero Cassina Architects to oversee the design.

The studio only had two yacht projects before this. But it had completed residential projects for the owner that brought a similar look to Carinthia VII’s 8,800-square-foot interior, including redoing all eight guest cabins.

The walls are covered in fabrics by Venetian artisans, and the central staircase is decorated with handmade, laser-cut tiles in an ombré-patterned blue that transitions from deep-ocean blue on the lower deck to pale-sky blue on the bridge deck. On each floor, the artwork in the lobby matches the color of the staircase, and classic gold elements have been replaced with a more contemporary silver.

A full exterior paint job updated the hull to Majestic Blue, with the superstructure in Matterhorn White and the external deck walls painted in Shark Grey. Following a few minor tweaks at the shipyard, Carinthia VII will soon cross the Atlantic to make its charter debut in the Caribbean.

First look inside 97m Lürssen Carinthia VII following 10-month refit

Following a comprehensive 300-day refit at Blohm + Voss , the 97.2-metre Lürssen superyacht Carinthia VII has debuted her new look at the Monaco Yacht Show 2023. 

Lürssen teamed up with the yacht's central agent for charter, Fraser , to present the yacht alongside original exterior designer Tim Heywood and the team who spearheaded the refit, Bizzozero Cassina Architects. Key alterations include the addition of a slender 11-metre pool on the aft deck and a brand new 85-square-metre gym on the bridge deck, which is half-encased by six tonnes of sliding glass panels that can be completely removed when required. 

Carinthia VII also underwent a huge number of technical modifications to convert her use from private to commercial. "This is a very complex job which requires the review of regulations and many negotiations with the class to navigate safely through the sea of rules,” explained Alberto Perrone da Zara, Lürssen's refit sales director. 

The interior was modified dramatically during the refit to give the yacht a fresher look and feel. However, the yacht had been maintained well throughout her life and the new owner decided to keep a single piece of original furniture in each room. The unique wooden floors have also been kept in some areas, as has the carpet on the stairs. Botticino marbles with integrated heating, reclaimed wood from an old monastery, delicate leather wall panelling and a refined art collection were all brought on board during the refit. 

All of the guest cabins were upgraded during the refit with the charter market in mind. The master suite kept the same wooden cabinetry and retro dressing room, but has been given a brand new en suite with a freestanding tub that looks out over the ocean. On the aft of the owner's deck, a teppanyaki round bar has also been installed. 

Meanwhile, the other cabins had their distinctive doors "raised" to meet commercial licensing requirements. Delivered in 2002, Carinthia VII has smaller cabins than a modern-day yacht, but Perrone da Zara pointed out that the windows are full-height, which is "incredible for 2022" and "it's uncomfy and impersonal to sleep in huge cabins". 

Elsewhere, the walls wrapping around the staircase were relaid with laser-cut oblongs of leather, which gradually change from dark blue to sky blue as the staircase ascends. Delicate marquetry throughout the yacht was carefully repainted while in situ and Venetian fabrics have been brought in to reupholster any soft furnishings which required an upgrade.

Aside from the pool and the bridge deck gym, the biggest al fresco change is the sundeck, which benefits from a new dining arrangement for 14, a cocktail bar and another bar with in-built barbecue. There are helm seats on the forward part of this deck, where guests on a yacht charter can take in Carinthia VII 's 25-knot top speed and look out over a mini golf green on the bow. 

The iconic yacht also shed her signature Carinthia blue exterior shade. Her hull was repainted in Majestic Blue, her superstructure was painted in Matterhorn White and the external deck walls were given a new coat of Shark Grey.

Peter Lürssen said: “I am very proud that, after building Carinthia VII, we have now been able to participate in her new lease on life with an extensive refit. She remains a very particular vessel and is a testament to the solidity of our German engineering and manufacturing."

The yacht changed hands in September last year, with a last known asking price of €95,000,000. The deal was handled between Antoine Larricq and Stuart Larsen at Fraser and Ralph de Joode at RYacht.
