Vava II: What makes the UK’s largest yacht an all-time great
- Superyachts
The largest yacht ever built at a British yard, Vava II features beautiful exterior styling that makes her look sleek and elegant despite her length...
Despite her status as the largest superyacht ever built at a British yard, Vava II’s owner-inspired exterior styling by Redman Whiteley Dixon is not only beautiful but makes the yacht look balanced and sleek.
She’s mainly a yacht of straight lines – the plumb bow, the angle of the superstructure and transom aft to the water, the vertical windows forward – but the sudden kinks of the top deck are a devilish touch.
The interior is by Rémi Tessier. The yacht, refitted at Amels in 2015, has been a regular in cruising hotspots around the world – and she spent the summer of 2016 cruising the Mediterranean.

“Conceived as a ‘world travelling yacht’, Vava II has exceeded expectations in her extended travels to remote locations and such geographically diverse places as the Indian Ocean islands, Indonesia, Alaska, Polynesia, Patagonia and Antarctica, travelling more than 100,000 nautical miles in a little over four years since delivery,” says Captain Richard Bridge.
“The helicopter deck has been used extensively for the embarked Eurocopter AS350B3 for a mix of transfers, sightseeing, heli-skiing and fishing trips, as well as numerous scientific missions. It will shortly be strengthened to be able to operate the larger twin-engined EC 145 T2.
“The main-deck salon with its glass sliding wall opening to become a part of the main-deck aft pool area has proved extremely popular and gives an option of opening the whole indoor/outdoor area for events and parties.
“Another area that has been used extensively is the expansive beach club – adding a large additional deck space, as well as a platform from which to operate the selection of tenders on board.
“The tender garages themselves have doubled as logistics platforms when operating in remote areas such as the Antarctic peninsula and during scientific missions in the Indian Ocean.”
Where is she now? Cruising privately.

Vava II—More like va-va-voom ! Britain’s Largest Yacht Shocks and Awes
Constructed by Devonport, just prior to its acquisition by Pendennis, this superyacht quite literally made waves as she launched in 2012 as the last vessel by the British shipyard—and the largest. Vava II is full of surprising and impressive capabilities. Her owner is a skilled Swiss-Italian sailor and founder of a professional yacht racing team, winning America’s Cup in 2003.
Spotted in Keppel Bay, Singapore, the six-deck yacht shows off her exterior design, brought to life by RWD. Vava II is as long as she is luxurious. At 96 meters, her structure is reminiscent of naval design, with smooth exterior curves and neatly stacked decks, centered for an enthralling balance.
Vava II in NY
Her interior, crafted by French designer Rémi Tessier , is mysterious. There are limited visuals available of the alluring interior design, making Vava II all the more enigmatic. Whatever artistry Tessier implemented on the superyacht is really only known to those lucky enough to be invited on board.
What is known, however, is that Vava II does not short her guests on accommodations . The superyacht is capable of supporting a crew of 34 members, four tenders, a massive swimming pool, and a helicopter pad.

It is the ultimate status symbol for the world's super-rich. And as you would expect, it comes with an astronomical price tag.
But the extraordinary costs are unlikely to concern Britain's richest woman, who has taken delivery of one of the largest private motor yachts ever built in the UK.
The vast 314ft-long Vava II - which costs more than £250,000 just to fill the fuel tanks - was commissioned for former Miss UK Kirsty Bertarelli, 40, by her billionaire husband Ernesto, 46.

Keen sailor Mr Bertarelli triumphed in the America's Cup when crewing his Team Alinghi boat in 2003 and 2007.
He was part of the first team ever to win the prestigious event at its first attempt.
But the team was roundly beaten twice by San Francisco-based BMW Oracle Racing in 2010.
The races followed a bitter two-and-a-half year legal battle between Mr Bertarelli, and Oracle's backer, American software boss Larry Ellison.
Managing Director Stephen Hills said the Vava II was 'an absolute credit to the capacity of the South West as a superyacht building location'.
He added: 'We are looking to continue this industry in the South West.'
Captain Brendan O'Shannassy said of the yacht: 'To have such a ground breaking construction unveiled in Plymouth should make the region justly proud.'
The billionaire Mr Bertarelli does not lavish all his money on extravagant yachts though.
The Bertarelli Foundation - set up by the family to help fund philanthropic projects around the world.
The foundation has worked in partnership with the British government for the Marine Reserve in Chagos and the in the Indian Ocean looking into wildlife preservation projects.

The VAVA II luxury superyacht is the largest ever private motor yacht to be built in the UK, England and Britain. She has been built from steel with an aluminium superstructure and complies with SOLAS codes, able to accommodate 36 guests. She would make a magnificent charter yacht if she was ever put on the charter market.
This superyacht has an array of features including large tender garages aft and forward, fold-down beach club and variable depth swimming pool. The plumb and straight bow is being seen on more yachts not just restricted to concept designs. The ultra-secretive Vava II ex. Project 55 is now a reality.
