Lady Christine at MYS


vanlent_christineRoyal Van Lent (Feadship) has delivered the 68m Lady Christine to her owners. Built for experienced yacht owners, she features an exterior design by De Voogt Naval Architects and a remarkable debut superyacht interior from British designer Rodney Black. The owners will showcase her to an invite-only audience at the upcoming Monaco show.

A wealth of windows, including the ‘fish-eye’ section aft, hints at the vast amounts of light that bathe the yacht’s interior. A lovely infinity pool with water flowing over the stern from the swimming pool aft on the main deck adds to the spectacular first impression. The overall shape of the yacht is defined by the decision to create an entire owner’s deck, including a private observation lounge above the wheelhouse. This required a split-level approach that significantly enhances the yacht’s volume.

Highlights of the elaborate interior include a cinema for eight on the lower deck and the exceptional bar and dining room on the main deck. The latter features full-height windows either side, which slide back to open up the side decks. Large platforms slide out from underneath the floor to both starboard and port to create a unique double balcony and increase the beam of the deck there, to15 m.
