CARINTHIA VII Yacht – Epic $180M Superyacht

The 97m yacht has a value of $180 million with an exterior design by Tim Heywood.

Tim Heywood and Ellehorst Kreuter designed the interior.

Lurssen, the prestigious luxury yacht builder, delivered the completed CARINTHIA VII in 2002 from their Bremen-based shipyard in Germany.

The interior of the CARINTHIA VII yacht was designed by  Tim Heywood Design  and Ellehorst Kreuter in 2002. She has accommodation for 14 guests in 8 suites comprising one VIP cabin, and two twin/double cabins.

She is capable of carrying 37 crew members for a luxury guest experience. Not much is known about the interior of the CARINTHIA VII, except for her accommodations and that she has a beach club, amongst other luxury amenities.

She has features like an on-deck jacuzzi for guests to relax. The details of the yacht’s interior are very private.

Still, the interior is shown to be elegant and luxurious, with the exterior deck featuring plenty of spaces for sunbathing and al fresco dining. 

Tim Heywood was the designer behind the exterior of CARINTHIA VII, featuring underwater lights and a magnificent blue steel hull called “Carinthia Blue.”

It also featured a white aluminum superstructure. She was built by luxury yacht builders  Lurssen  in Germany at their Bremen shipyard.

The exterior exudes a powerful presence in the water and was delivered in 2002. She was refitted three years later in 2005.

She has a teak deck. Her exterior shows her cutting through the water with a sleek hull and superstructure.

Specifications

The 97m CARINTHIA VII has a beam of 18.8m and a draft of 4.8m. She is powered by her 4 MTU diesel engines, which gives her a maximum speed of 26 knots.

At her cruising speed of 22 knots, she has a range of 5000 nautical miles.

She has a volume of 3643 gross tons. The $180 million superyacht has an annual running cost of $10 – $15 million. She was the 12th largest superyacht in the world.

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.

Liegt jetzt in Hamburg

Wer hat die luxusjacht von heidi goëss-horten gekauft.

Ursprünglich kostete die Luxusjacht "Carinthia VII" der im Juni verstorbenen Kärntner Milliardärin Heidi Goëss-Horten 160 Millionen Euro. Ende Juli war das Fünf-Sterne-Schiff für "gerade einmal" 95 Millionen Euro zu haben.

Seit einem Jahr war Port Vauban im südfranzösischen Antibes am Quai de la Grande Plaisance der Heimathafen des Schiffs, wo es auf einen Käufer wartete. Nun hat sich ein neuer Eigentümer gefunden. Über ihn ist nichts bekannt, der Kauf wurde über eine Firma in Monaco abgewickelt. Der Preis soll letztendlich bei 95 Millionen Euro geblieben sein, "billiger" wurde es nicht mehr.

Inzwischen ankert das knapp 100 Meter lange Schiff in Hamburg. Von Südfrankreich trat es Ende September seine Reise in den Norden an, der letzte Hafen war Rotterdam in den Niederlanden, in Gibraltar lag die Jacht am 27. September. Inzwischen "segelt" das Schiff unter der Flagge der Cayman Islands, zuvor war es Malta.

Sechs Decks

Der Käufer bekommt einiges geboten: sechs Decks, eine Länge von fast 100 Metern und eine Breite von 16 Metern, Platz für 14 Gäste und 37 Crew-Mitglieder, ein Wellnessbereich, ein Bentley in der Deck-Garage.

Heidi Goëss-Horten war das Schmuckstück zu einer Last geworden, wie sie schon 2020 in einem Interview mit der Kleinen Zeitung andeutete: "Die Reisen mit meiner 'Carinthia' werden anstrengend. In drei Monaten werde ich 80 Jahre, da will man nicht ständig eine Gruppe von Leuten um sich haben und sich laufend umziehen müssen."

Damals lag der Preis noch bei 160 Millionen Euro, im Juni fiel er bereits auf 120 Millionen Euro . Dann sank er nach und nach auf 95 Millionen Euro – fast ein Schnäppchen. Zu Bedenken gab es allerdings, dass sich die Betriebskosten Medienberichten zufolge auf rund 27.400 Euro belaufen – pro Tag, versteht sich.

Sprit zu teuer? Horten verkauft Yacht um 120 Millionen

Heidi Goëss-Horten trennt sich von ihrer Luxus-Yacht "Carinthia VII" und will dafür 30 Millionen Euro mehr als im Herbst.

Die stark gestiegenen Lebenshaltungskosten lassen selbst eine Milliardärin nicht kalt. Die Wiener Kaufhauserbin Heidi Horten, deren Vermögen auf 2,7 Milliarden Euro geschätzt wird, verkauft ihre Mega-Yacht "Carinthia VII" um 120 Millionen Euro. Im Herbst wurde das 97,2 Meter lange Luxus-Schiff noch vergleichsweise als Schnäppchen um 90 Millionen Euro angeboten.

Acht Suiten, ein Bentley und ein Heli

Die 81-jährige Kunstsammlerin und Stifterin der Wiener Heidi Horten Collection trennt sich nun von ihrer schwimmenden Nobel-Herberge, die zuletzt in Antibes in Süd-Frankreich ankerte. Die 20 Jahre alte Luxus-Yacht aus Bremen verfügt über sechs Decks mit acht Suiten, die Platz für 14 Gäste bieten. Horten verbrachte ihre Ferien hier gerne auf ihrem Privat-Deck mit eigener Edel-Suite und Atelier.

Auch eine 40-köpfige Crew findet auf der "Carinthia VII" locker Platz. Vergnüglich wird es auch im bordeigenen Spa mit Hammam, Sauna, Tauchbecken und Dampf-Dusche. Für spontane Trips steht ein Bentley an Bord ebenso bereit, wie ein Helikopter am Vorderdeck.

Auf "Heute" -Anfrage zum Verkauf wollte Hortens Pressesprecher "kein Kommentar" abgeben. In der Vergangenheit sagte die Milliardärin und Noch-Besitzerin der 45. längsten Yacht der Welt nur lapidar: "Wenn ich ganz ehrlich bin, werden mir die Reisen auf meiner Carinthia einfach zu anstrengend."

Heidi Horten: Austria's Richest Woman Sells Luxury Yacht for 160 Million Euros

Heidi goëss-horten, the richest austrian woman, is selling her luxury yacht, the carinthia vii, for an astonishing 160 million euros. read about ms. goëss-horten's "dream ship" and why she has finally decided to sell it..

The wealthiest Austrian woman, Heidi Goëss-Horten, is reportedly selling her famous luxury yacht, the Carinthia VII, for an astounding € 160 million.

Constructed in the Lürssen Yachts yard in 2002, the Carinthia VII is an impressive dream vessel that includes space for Ms. Goëss-Horten’s Bentley, six suites, a sauna, a steam bath, and a helicopter.

According to Bild , the ship’s captain Andreas Jungblut says, “In professional circles, the Carinthia VII is still considered the most beautiful and elegant yacht in the world, despite many new buildings. It was built according to the excellent taste of Ms. Horten, who is also an exquisite art collector.”

Ms. Goëss-Horten is indeed an exquisite art collector with an impressive private collection and even plans to open her own museum in Vienna , as was previously reported by Vindobona.org.

Bild reports that Goëss-Horten’s reason for selling the yacht is that the trips have become “too strenuous” for her and that it has become “more burden than pleasure.”

In recent years, the ship has remained docked in Venice virtually unused.

The € 160 million price tag for the yacht comes with additional operational costs of € 27,400, and a tank of fuel for the vessel costs around € 500,000.

Ms. Goëss-Horten, who is worth an estimated € 2.7 billion, is the widow of businessman Helmut Horten, the founder of the German department store Horten AG.

She inherited her wealth upon the death of her husband, who passed away in November 1987.

Ms. Goëss-Horten is a member of the board of the charitable foundation Helmut Horten Stiftung and was reported by Vindobona.org to be the largest donor to the Austrian People’s Party (ÖVP) .

“I am proud, with my collection and the construction of the museum, to have created something lasting, which future generations will also be able to experience when they visit my museum and take joy in the art that has given me such joy for so long.”

Heidi Goëss-Horten

The Collection

»The true collector cannot be identified through the things he owns, but through those he would delight in having.«

Marc chagall.

Heidi Goëss-Horten (born 1941 in Vienna) has, with great sensitivity and passion, built an art collection of international stature. Over the last few decades she has amassed an impressive selection of several hundred paintings, sculptures and graphic works that offers a profound overview of the development of art in the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. The collection thus brings together a who’s who of art history covering the period from around 1900, through to classic modernism and contemporary art.

The collector grew up in a family environment in which art was a natural part of life. Her father was a technical draughtsman and engraver and made portraits of his daughter that are now part of the Heidi Horten Collection.  

She shared this avid interest in art with her first husband Helmut Horten. During the 1970s, they laid the foundations of their extensive art collection together, embarking on numerous travels and studio visits, in order to experience art in situ and gain an insight into its creation.

Even in those early days they acquired high-calibre works for their private collection: important pieces from German Expressionism, such as Emil Nolde’s painting Red Evening Sun and works by Erich Heckel, in addition to examples of international modernism, including key works by Marc Chagall and Pablo Picasso.

From today’s perspective, Heidi Goëss-Horten’s decision to intensify her collecting in the mid-1990s was most favourable timing. The art market had collapsed in 1990 and was only slowly recovering (The Wall Street Journal, 1996).

Not submitting to shifting fashions has been consistently important to the collector. Heidi Goëss-Horten has always lived with the works and surrounded herself with them at her home. A collector out of passion, her personal relationship and individual engagement with the works of art is key.

Although aiming for discretion and anonymity, on several occasions Heidi Goëss-Horten attracted the attention of the international media, particularly in the early stages of her more intensive collecting.

One instance was when she acquired some thirty masterpieces of modern and contemporary art for many millions  at a single auction in London, thus, overnight, endowing her collection with art-historical significance and a high profile. 

This altered the scope of the collection, for it now included names that had previously been unrepresented, such as Pierre-Auguste Renoir, Joan Miró, Max Pechstein, Carl Hofer, Pablo Picasso, Henri Matisse, Paul Klee, René Magritte, Fernand Léger, Niki de Saint Phalle, Egon Schiele, Lucio Fontana, Jean Dubuffet, Lucian Freud, Francis Bacon, Yves Klein and Georg Baselitz; artists whose works are undoubtedly highlights of the collection today.

In the years that followed, Heidi Goëss-Horten’s purchase of important works by Andy Warhol and Roy Lichtenstein established a focus on Pop art. The larger the collection became, the more the collector’s love for her art stood out – she engaged intensively with the backgrounds of individual works.

As her collection grew, Goëss-Horten started dedicating more attention to contemporary artists. Groundbreaking works by Damien Hirst, Niki de Saint Phalle, Sigmar Polke or Gerhard Richter were early additions. Moreover, the Heidi Horten Collection now comprises not only paintings and works of graphic art, but also a striking sculpture park that has grown impressively over the years and will be showcased at the newly opened museum.

The Heidi Horten Collection Today

Today, with its main concentrations on the art of “Vienna 1900”, German and international Expressionism, Arte Povera, European postwar art and Pop art, the Heidi Horten Collection is a panoply of images with the scope of a museum. 

What began as a passion, now represents a foray into the art history of the last one hundred years. Surveying the collection, one can appreciate how particular areas of interest formed, how artists have influenced one another, and the revolutionary spirit inherent in the oeuvre of every single artist.

By founding a museum, Heidi Goëss-Horten is taking a step towards a cultural future for the collection that will influence the canon of public art history. She also joins the time-honoured ranks of collectors who, through their vision, have created places for public engagement with art. True to the character of a private collection, these are very personal spaces whose purpose is to foster fresh approaches to art for all interested visitors. 

On Helmut Horten’s asset accumulation

The academic evaluation of Helmut Horten’s entrepreneurial activity during the Second World War was an objective of the collector and of the Helmut Horten Foundation. Heidi Goëss-Horten thus commissioned historian Prof. Dr. Peter Hoeres (University of Würzburg) to write a scientific report on Helmut Horten’s build-up of assets and business in the context of “Aryanization” during the “Third Reich.” The academic research carried out by Prof. Dr. Hoeres took place based on scientific priorities. The results show a differentiated picture of the businessman Helmut Horten and correct some rumors. The expert report was published on the website of the Chair of Modern History at the History Department of the Julius Maximilians University of Würzburg and is available here (German Version).
