Yachting
Orchid tests the waters


A new 91-m superyacht built by Lürssen is now undergoing sea trials and will be delivered her owners in the fall of 2015.

The German shipbuilder launched the Orchid on April 30 from the floating dock 29 months after her keel was laid in 2012 and 19 months after her technical launch in 2013. 

Orchid will be the second yacht Lürssen will deliver in 2015.

Orchid’s exteriors and interiors have been designed by Reymond Langton Design and feature a bold, contemporary design throughout, personified both by the dynamic, sculptural shaping of her exterior, as well as the bright, elegant spaces in her interior.

A subtle selection of light complementary finishes enhances the open spaces on board. 

Stand-out features of the layout include the large waterside beach club, VIP guest suites with fold down balconies and extensive spa and treatment facilities.

The project is being co-ordinated by Monaco’s Y.CO which is closely with Luerssen, the designers and the owners’ technical teams to ensure the client’s wishes were fulfilled. 

Y.CO’s team will manage the transition to the Y.CO Yacht Management team and the captain and crew to prepare the vessel for delivery for owner’s first voyage.
