Lürssen Launches Second Phoenix
The 87m Phoenix II was launched by Lürssen Yachts 8 April. Her delivery is scheduled for the summer of 2010. The original 60m MY Phoenix was launched at Lürssen in 2004. Due to her success it led to her Owner developing a new project with the same team, which includes Andrew Winch Designs, Moran Yacht & Ship and the Lürssen shipyard.
Phoenix II (project J24) is by no means a simple sequel to the first yacht. She has been carefully designed and constructed to ensure that the essence of the original yacht has been kept. She is however much more complex and larger.
Her exterior, designed by Andrew Winch Designs, incorporates both elegant and streamlined lines that are complemented by more than 100 metres of polished stainless steel handrails uniquely shaped and installed. Her sundeck offers a generous swimming pool with separate Jacuzzi and an exterior cinema. The new Phoenix’s sky lounge opens out to an inside/outside dining area complete with glass screens.
The interior is influenced by the New York 1930’s era. A full beam Deco Duplex apartment offers undisturbed views out to sea. A private staircase joins the two floors together whilst a private foredeck, complete with Jacuzzi, offers the client exterior privacy.
