CRESCENT Yacht – Stunning $600 Million Superyacht

CRESCENT yacht is a 135.50 meter (445 ft) superyacht built by Luerssen in Germany and launched in 2018. She can accommodate up to 18 guests and 40 crew members and cost a rumored US $600 Million.

Despite her considerable price, the owner is unknown and his identity has not been released to the public after her purchase.

CRESCENT is currently considered 19th on the list of largest yachts in the world and the 11th largest ever built by Luerrsen.

CRESCENT yacht interior

The nature of the interior and the exact layout are unknown, and only speculations and estimates are available.

It is assumed that CRESCENT includes a sizable gym, several swimming pools, a movie theatre, spa facilities, a beauty salon with several rooms, and an outdoor barbecue.

Wifi and air conditioning as well as a large elevator are also available aboard the superyacht. 

The renowned French design house Zuretti was responsible for developing an extravagant interior design for the motor yacht CRESCENT.

They specialize in custom projects and have worked on a variety of luxury vessels in the past. 

Their trademark style combines classic elements with contemporary features which is what CRESCENT’s interior most likely looks like as well.

Luerssen has described the interior as “traditionally styled” which suggests high-quality wooden elements, luxurious upholstery, and natural tones combined with opulent light fixtures.

According to the renowned manufacturer this style was chosen in accordance with the owner’s wishes. 

Due to her size, she is estimated to have at least three major salons and most likely very spacious cabins.

CRESCENT has a distinct absence of open-air space since most of her decks are permanently covered.

Her pools and jacuzzis are all located in shaded areas and not visible from passing boats or from the air.

The only exception is a medium-sized pool located in a somewhat hidden spot on the aft deck. At least one of her pools is said to feature a custom-made glass bottom.

The exact layout of her cabins isn’t known, however, CRESCENT features a sizable master suite with panoramic views.

She can host up to 18 guests in an estimated 9 cabins and has space for a crew of 40 members. 

One of the few publicly known features is her large glass atrium which spans three separate floors.

This impressive structure has a tinted glass front and can be seen from both her starboard and port side.

These large window fronts let in additional natural light giving the interior a more modern and innovative design. Across the entire yacht, a state-of-the-art entertainment system has been installed, including large tv screens in all bedrooms and salons as well as a modern audio system.

Specifications

CRESCENT displaces an incredible 9.194 tons making her one of the largest yachts in the world by weight. Even for her length of 135.50 m (445 ft) this is impressive.

Her top speed lies somewhere around 18 knots, although she tends to cruise at 12 knots which is reasonably fast considering her gross tonnage.

She is powered by twin MTU 16V4000 diesel engines and has a beam of 22.04 meters (72.4 ft) and a draft of 5.2 meters (17.1 ft).

CRESCENT sails under the Cayman Islands flag, which is one of the most popular in the world for superyachts.

Although the exact details of her sale from Luerssen are unknown, she is rumored to have cost US $600 Million with average running costs of US $25 to $50 Million every year.

She was constructed at the Lemwerder shipyard, which lies close to the city of Bremen in Germany. Since CRESCENT is currently in private ownership, she is not available for charter or for sale.

The Norwegian naval architect and designer Espen Oeino worked on CRESCENT and developed her eye-catching exterior.

Unlike the majority of large yachts, she is not white, which makes her stand out even more, especially when docked in popular harbors across Europe.

image 32

The secrecy surrounding her owner and interior has made her a popular target for yacht spotters, although there are still very few photos available of this magnificent vessel.

The exterior of CRESCENT is a dark navy blue, and the upper stories feature a silvery chrome color.

Her design has been described as masculine and muscular in the past, with a modern approach to traditional yacht layout that appears especially striking.

She has a large aluminum superstructure and a total of four decks. Guests have their choice of two helicopter landing pads, one located on the bow of the vessel and the other on the top deck.

The latter is equipped with a retractable helicopter hangar which can be extended to cover a small aircraft if needed.

This is a unique feature that cannot be found in very many other superyachts. It’s yet another example of the high levels of privacy that this yacht offers for its anonymous owners.

It goes without saying that a modern yacht such as CRESCENT is equipped with state-of-the-art zero-speed stabilizers.

On the lower aft deck, she has a generous beach club area with a large swimming platform and an adjacent pool.

However, unlike many other superyachts, this area cannot be closed off when the vessel is underway. 

At night CRESCENT is illuminated by an advanced underwater lighting system that was tailor-made for the yacht. She carries at least three tenders, although their make and type are not known.

135m Lurssen superyacht CRESCENT arrives in the Mediterranean

By Katia Damborsky   10 May 2019

Making her maiden voyage into Mediterranean waters on May 8, the recently delivered 135m/445ft megayacht CRESCENT was spotted making a port call in Gibraltar.

Following delivery in September last year, the privately-owned Lurssen superyacht CRESCENT has made her first appearance in the West Mediterranean after spending several months in Norway.

Named ‘Project Thunder’ during her build, the yacht holds the spot for the 16th longest superyacht in the world.

She shares her position in the World’s Top 100 Superyachts with 27  fellow Lurssen builds, including the 136m/446ft superyacht ‘Flying Fox ’, which has recently been made available for private yacht charters.

Lurssen have claimed that she has been ‘traditionally styled’ to reflect the owner’s wishes.

the crescent superyacht

While CRESCENT was shrouded in secrecy during her build, it is now known that the superyacht’s muscular exterior comes from the drawing boards of long-term collaborator Espen Oeino.

The esteemed designer has created a bold and striking profile, with chrome superstructure offset by a glossy ebony hull that lends her a powerful and predatory look.

The yacht holds the spot for the 16th longest superyacht in the world.

The interiors of the motor yacht have been headed up by Zuretti, and have been kept largely under wraps.

It is being reported that she will feature a split-level atrium with tall portions of glazing, and Lurssen have claimed that she has been ‘traditionally styled’ to reflect the owner’s wishes.

Among the yacht’s on-board highlights, photos show that she will have not one, but two helipads, one of which enjoys its own retractable hangar.

On the aft deck, a large swimming pool can be spotted for the owner and their guests to enjoy.

While CRESCENT is not available for superyacht charters , you can view all Lurssen superyachts for charter .

Spain impounds a third superyacht amid E.U. crackdown on Russian oligarchs

the crescent superyacht

Spanish authorities have impounded a third superyacht believed to belong to a Russian oligarch, a seizure that is part of a global crackdown on those seen to support Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.

The Crescent, a yacht registered in the Cayman Islands, had requested to depart the Spanish Port of Tarragona on March 4, authorities said, but it did not set sail. The 443-foot yacht has an estimated value of about $600 million, according to SuperyachtFan , a website tracking luxury yachts, which cited its owner as an “unknown billionaire.”

Governments all over the world are working to identify and freeze the assets of Russian elites and their family members, including luxury apartments, money and yachts. Online sleuths are watching their moves, tweeting names, locations, ownership and the latest status of yachts owned by Russian oligarchs.

The Crescent is supersized even by global elite benchmarks — few of the world’s biggest yachts measure more than 400 feet . It was built by the German shipyard Lürssen , which constructs many of the largest yachts, and reportedly features a retractable helicopter hangar and a big glass-bottomed pool.

Schadenfreude at sea: The Internet is watching with glee as Russian oligarchs’ yachts are seized

Spain’s Transportation Ministry said it was collecting information “to confirm the real ownership” of the vessel and whether control of the ship corresponds to an individual on the list of people and entities sanctioned by the European Council over the war in Ukraine. If it turns out to belong to someone on the sanctions list, it will be “immobilized,” officials said.

Spanish authorities said that so far this week, they have seized the Valerie, in the Port of Barcelona, ​​and the Lady Anastasia in Majorca’s Port Adriano. The former is suspected to be owned by Sergey Chemezov, a longtime ally of Russian President Vladimir Putin and a subject of Western sanctions. Chemezov is the head of Rostec, a Russian industrial and military conglomerate.

The United States and its allies have said they will not fight the Russian military directly or support Ukraine’s request for a no-fly zone , which U.S. officials fear could lead to broader war with a nuclear-armed superpower. But they are waging an economic war against the Putin-connected Russian super-elite .

Russian superyachts and aircraft barred from New Zealand under new sanctions

Protesters this week broke into a white stucco mansion in central London belonging to the family of a Russian oligarch, unfurled a Ukrainian flag, and declared the property “liberated” and ready for refugees. Even countries as far as New Zealand have said Russian superyachts and aircraft would be barred from entering its waters and airspace under new sanctions legislation passed in response to the Kremlin invasion.

CRESCENT 145 LUXURY SUPERYACHT Crescent | From EUR€ 196,000 /wk

The 44m/144ft CRESCENT 145 LUXURY SUPERYACHT was built by Crescent Yachts in 2016 and features a striking charcoal grey hull and white superstructure. Jack Sarin Naval Architects, Inc. completed her naval architecture, while the interiors are the work of Jonathan Quinn Barnett, who chose an elegant modern colour scheme further enhanced by the use of precious onyx. The accommodation sleeps up to 10 charter guests across five large en-suite cabins and a professional crew of 9 provides outstanding service to ensure guests have an unforgettable charter vacation.

NOTABLE FEATURES OF CRESCENT 145 LUXURY SUPERYACHT: ~Approved RYA Water Sports Centre ~Two generous spa pools on the foredeck and sundeck ~Sophisticated interiors designed for entertaining ~Sizeable alfresco living spaces ~Sundeck workout area with a great selection of gym equipment ~Shallow draft of 2.3m/7.7ft

The lower deck swim platform leads into the large beach club, or alternatively, guests can climb the stairs to access the main deck aft. Here, the layout provides an extensive stern sunpad that can also be used as seating while dining alfresco at the raised table. Forward, the alfresco section of the bar has three seats and a hatch for easy access to drinks from the main salon.

On the upper deck aft, the circular table will seat up to 10 guests to an alfresco meal sheltered by the sundeck overhang. After dining, armchairs and drinks tables along the stern can be arranged into separate groups for a private conversation while taking in the views.

On the bow, a curved loveseat is placed in front of the helm station and farther forward a lavish spa pool allows guests to enjoy the sunshine before drying off on the bow sunpad.

The sundeck provides ample space for sunbathing together: The forward area has a port-side sunpad while the starboard section has a massive spa pool with a glass side. The mid-section contains a bar and on the adjacent side, there is casual seating where guests can sit and socialise while taking in the views from the shade.

The sundeck aft is used for storing tenders and motorised water toys, which can be launched and retrieved using a Davit crane. When empty, the area can be used as an additional workout space in conjunction with the gym equipment beneath the hardtop. 

On the lower deck, the stern section hosts a spacious beach club for guests to unwind close to the sea. Forward of the beach club are the technical spaces and the engine room, leaving the section amidships for guest accommodation. Here, the section contains two double en-suite cabins and two twin en-suite cabins that can be converted to lounges for the double cabins. The forward section contains the crew accommodation and lounge/galley.

The main deck forward hosts a full-beam Master suite, within which there is a seating area and a widescreen TV opposite the bed. The bathroom is positioned forward and has his and hers showers, a therapeutic Vichy shower over a horixontal onyx bed and a skylight that allows moonlight through the Jacuzzi pool above. A walk-in wardrobe and study are placed behind the Master suite and complete its facilities.

The main salon employs a curving sofa in the centre for all guests to gather together and enjoy the sunshine and views. As a result of the effective use of space, there is ample room to the aft to incorporate a well-stocked bar with a widescreen TV.

CRESCENT 145 LUXURY SUPERYACHT Specifications

On the upper deck, the sky lounge is situated aft of the main foyer and similar to the main salon, the interior is flooded with natural light with the same sultry colour scheme implemented. A generously sized corner sofa divides the lounging area from the rear wet bar and the games table beside the doors.

2 x 2040 kW MTU 4000 series M90 engines that each produce 2,735 HP allow for a top speed of 18 knots, a cruising speed of 13.5 knots and a range of 2,300 nautical miles.

Yacht Charter Accommodation

The accommodation provides for up to 10 guests across 5 large en-suite cabins: 1 Master suite, 2 double cabins and 2 twin cabins convertible to lounges for the double cabins. The professional crew of 9 will ensure that everyone has a fantastic time on board throughout the cruise.

117 Crescent Superyacht Walkthrough [Boat Review + Video]

Take an extensive tour of the 117 crescent [crescent lady] in fort lauderdale, fl with ryan alexander and ari sherr..

This article is a transcription of the 117 Crescent video from Denison’s YouTube Channel . Tune in daily to discover the latest yacht video walkthroughs from the world’s largest yacht video collection. Watch the full video below:

Ryan: Hey everybody, this is Ryan Alexander with Denison Yachting broker and my friend, Ari Sherr .

Ari: Hey guys, how’s it going?

Ryan: This morning got off to an awesome start. Anything that I do with Ari is always over the top and in true reform. He got us a seaplane to fly to today’s boat to show you around. What was your favorite part of taking the seaplane?

Ari: Definitely cruising past our office on Lake Union and then over the San Juan islands for sure.

Ryan: So we fly for about 45 minutes, this is what that looked like in our footage. I’ve always wanted to take a seaplane if it’s not something that you’ve done you gotta do it check it off the list totally worth it. To me the coolest part was when we touched down, we landed on the water we were a couple hundred yards away from this boat which is what we’re going to be taking you on a walkthrough of today.

If you’ve been following our channel for any time now you will know that we show you a very broad and diverse set of boats on this channel. So sometimes it’s by size, sometimes by interior or by amenity that a boat is interesting. But today’s boat is interesting for a completely different reason, it’s the way in which it was manufactured and while this boat was manufactured in an unconventional way, it certainly was not in an uncommon way. And today Ari and I we get to tell you the story of this boat, we get to go into Crescent’s history a little bit and get to show you some footage from the best sea trial that I think I’ve ever been a part of. Can’t wait to show you around.

Ari: Good day, Ari Sherr with Denison Yachting. The story of this Crescent 117 is best told in context of Crescent, the shipyard. For decades, the Canadian manufacturer has been building boats in North America with remarkable success. Some of her North American hallmarks include a reimagined country kitchen galley on the main deck that’s just steps away from a secluded VIP. She also holds to her roots by boasting a well-designed crew area just off the engine room. The story of this stunning yacht begins in Italy when Destiny yachts laid up her proven production hull we see today. As the superstructure was added in late 2019, the yacht came to life in the form of a 5 cabin 10 guest’s yacht. The design and construction was overseen by legendary naval architect Gregory Marshall who designed the Westport 112 and 117. The result of their combined effort is what we’re here to show you today. In between 2004 and today Crescent has inched its way closer in perfecting what would become this 117.

Now Ryan and I are going to pass things back and forth as we take you through every space on board this Crescent 117. Let’s have a look.

Ryan: As we typically do on boats this size we’re going to start today’s walkthrough up on the tender deck. Running along the aft, there are three stanchions that are a clean safety feature for an essential entertaining area. As you see it, there are deck chairs that are lined up making for an ideal place to relax. But once you get a bird’s eye view and you use your imagination, you can see that this area serves to entertain in any number of ways. The other use for this area besides entertaining is tender and water toy storage. This area is large enough to accommodate a 17 foot tender, 2 sea-doo sparks, 4 stand-up paddle boards and a pair of kayaks. Especially in an area of the world like we’re in today, there are endless opportunities for exploring and having a number of different water toys up here, means that you get to explore it all. The full collection of tenders and toys are raised and lowered by a steelhead davit that can lift 3500 pounds with ease that is located on the port side.

117 Crescent [Crescent Lady] Yacht Aft

Forward of the davit we next arrive at any super yacht essential, a hot tub with seating for 4. This is the perfect place to end the day with a bottle of champagne in a sunset. One of the most usable features of this sunning deck is the full wet bar that we see opposite the jacuzzi to starboard. In this area you have everything that you need to keep the party going with essential summer galley appliances such as a full-sized grill, refrigeration and a dedicated ice maker and sink.

This wet bar is located on the lower level of a split upper deck. Heading up a set of centerline stairs brings us to the raised section where we have somewhat of a Westport inspired flybridge. When you’re up here you get to reap all the benefits of an entertaining area that’s combined with the primary helm from which this yacht runs in the warmer months.

Molded in seating is found aft on both port and starboard and thanks to her thoughtful design you and your guests have a great line of sight even when seated. To me the magic of this area is its proximity to the wet bar and sunning deck aft as well as how much shade is provided by this massive hardtop overhead. The skylights found in the overhead are made up of 3 large plate glass panels with the perfect amount of tinting. This design keeps the area from being covered by a shadow and also keeps the direct sun out. It’s the best of both worlds.

117 Crescent [Crescent Lady] Yacht Upper Deck

The helm is found centerline and forward in this area. Thanks to the size of the space, there’s plenty of room for guests and crew to congregate as you make your plans for the day and start the cruise towards your anchorage. The electronics here revolve around a pair of 17-inch Garmin multi-function displays and other essential controls like bow and stern thruster joysticks. These controls are not only repeated at the lower interior helm where we’re going to go over them more in depth but also there are wing stations that flank the main flybridge controls. These are located to port and starboard and make inching closer to the dock a lot easier.

I’ve already mentioned the adventure that we have this morning on our way to the boat. I also mentioned that Ari is responsible for all of it. One of my favorite things about working with him on shoots like this is how quickly he takes initiative to just make things happen. Whenever we’re working together, I’m always impressed by his ability to juggle 5 things at once, now he does it wearing a blazer.

I also have to acknowledge the extra set of hands that we had today. Ari had his friend Louie join us for the trip and watching these two take charge and handle the jobs of 4 crew members between the two of them was quite the site. Louis just so happens to be the captain of a beautiful fed ship that goes by the name Sea Owl and came in clutch as we made the 5-hour trip from the San Juan Islands into lake union in Seattle. It’s days like this when I’m reminded just how large of a roll experience plays when you’re on a big boat like this and you’re out on the water.

Ari: I’m going to take over for just a minute to show you around the raised pilothouse configuration. Having spent most my life running larger yachts, I know layout and state-of-the-art technology is everything. Let’s first take a look at the seating area. Often here we have seating for 7-8 people to both port and starboard. Each seating area surrounds a black courts table. No matter where you find yourself in this area, you have a panoramic view to take in your surroundings.

Here at the helm we have a Garmin glass bridge with 3 large 22 inch Garmin displays and integrated Marathon vessel monitoring. Just to stab it a two Garmin data displays and a Garmin autopilot. These rest right next to the MTU engine controls and trim tabs. One other noteworthy item to point out at the helm is the stabilizer control. This is found next to your engine monitors.

Ryan: Something I haven’t told you about today’s trip was one of the unique experiences of the voyage from the islands down into Seattle which was passing through the Ballard lock. I’ve passed through a few of these in my day but never one this size. If you’re unfamiliar, a lock is a way that you can keep two different water systems separate while still offering boats access from one to the other. After the boat moves into position from the salt water of Puget Sound a gate spanning the waterway closes the chamber off and then the gate on the other end opens. This is done to help preserve the fragile ecosystems that are found on either side. Once you pass through you’re just a short cruise away from entering the heart of lake union.

After we pulled into the city and we got the boat in position, we backed the yacht into our slip stern first to finish the day shoot. Seeing as this 117 features a full beam salon and doesn’t have side decks, a great workaround is found at the stern. Back here you have a euro transom with chandelier stairs to port and starboard where you can move lines and fenders easily up and down. Equipped with heavy deck gear and Maxwell 3500 cap stands getting ready to dock is a breeze when you’re back here. In addition to being optimized for crew use, this oversized platform is a great spot for entertaining because of the absorbent teak deck and the space it offers for staging water toys. Finally, there’s a water tight door forward in the transom that opens up into the crew area which is our next stop.

Upon entering, we first see that the laundry center is located on the port side. Just opposite is the cruise kitchenette where your team has access to their own appliances that include refrigeration, a microwave, sink and plenty of prep space. The layout of the crew quarters consists of 3 cabins the first of which is on the port side. In here, your second in command has a double berth, plenty of storage and access to a shared head and shower.

Forward of this room is the second crew cabin the chairs the same head and shower. This cabin has a bunk arrangement. Just to step outside of the bunk rooms, we have a crew common area that’s built around a table top doubling as a dinette. This is right next to the captain’s cabin which is outboard on the starboard side.

Passing through the crew area and through the next watertight door brings us into the engine room. A cool feature in this space is the lighting underneath the engines that adds a blue glow to the mechanical space. Stepping inside and looking aft of the engines we see that powering the house are twin Northern Lights generators each of which is 55 kilowatts. These are generally running when you’re not on shore power. But when you’re plugged in, you can do so with confidence because of a pair of Zeus shore power converters. Another essential piece of equipment are twin 1800 gallon per day sea recovery water makers that fill a 700 gallon fresh water tank. The engines themselves are MTU-12V 4000 with 2735 horsepower per side. These work together to give this 117 a 20 knot cruise and a top speed of around 25 knots. When you’re out in open water and moving, her warrantied engines and ABT trac stabilizers offer you a reliable and stable platform for doing some serious cruising whether in the cold waters of the Pacific Northwest or the waterways of the Caribbean.

117 Crescent [Crescent Lady] Yacht Engine

One of my favorite layouts on this boat is found on the aft deck. The first thing that jumps out is the size of the space that makes the most of the area without cluttering it up. The most unique aspect of the aftex design is the sunpad that’s placed aft of the dinette. Most of the day, the sun is shining on this series of comfortable cushions and it’s also a great lookout point to keep an eye on the kids when they’re in the water. The main guest experience here as you might expect revolves around a centerline dinette that’s surrounded by a teak soul. I imagine that this will serve as the primary dining space on board both because of the view and the protection from the elements.

The entire area is shaded by a large molded hardtop that’s not only equipped with lighting and speakers but also a small part of the yacht’s larger CCTV system. When it comes to access, there are a pair of side entry gates to port and starboard for those times when you’re stepping on board at the stern. The final aspect here to cover is the full wet bar located in the port forward corner of the aft deck. This area is home to a sink, cold storage and an ice maker as well as a TV for a little added entertainment.

117 Crescent [Crescent lady] Yacht Salon

Next we’re going to jump into the salon which takes up the full 24 foot beam of the yacht. I love the amount of light in here and how it helps add contrast to a simple darker color scheme. In addition to the 10 windows that run around the outside of the salon, there’s a ton of cabinet storage that’s located immediately below. Looking in we see that the seating area is located in the aft half of the salon and includes a pair of overstuffed L-shaped couches on either side of a coffee table. From these comfortable sofas, you have a clear line of sight to a 65-inch TV on a lift that hides away. This is a small part of the Crestron controlled lighting and entertainment system.

Forward of the living area you step directly into the formal dining room. The mirror placed on the forward bulkhead really magnifies the already voluminous salon and the simple lighting overhead adds to the area’s contemporary look. From here, let’s follow Ari forward as he enters the first part of the galley through a tucked away pocket door.

117 Crescent [Crescent Lady] Yacht Dining Room

We first enter the stews-nook. This is an area dedicated entirely to service and helps the crew keep the food and drinks coming at meal time. All of this counter space and appliances like a commercial dishwasher and under counter refrigeration make it easy for you to grab things on the go. Looking over to the port side we see that beneath the window and the superstructure is a twin sink basin as well as an ice maker with some extra storage. And then looking back inboard, note this clever storage solution in a large cabinet that sits next to a full-size fridge and freezer.

On his way forward Ari passes a side deck access door and steps into a thermador marine galley which we’ll call the galley proper. Here we have all stainless steel cooking appliances that include a 5-burner induction cooktop as well as 2 ovens and a microwave. There’s also a dinette in here which offers a slight variation on the country kitchen designs long associated with North American shipbuilding. This dinette is the perfect breakfast nook and rests next to a pair of cold drawers and a 55-inch TV.

117 Crescent [Crescent Lady] Yacht Kitchen

Separating the cooking and dining areas of the galley is a walkway that leads forward and down into the first of two VIP staterooms. 4 steps down we arrive at a stateroom with an aft-facing queen berth. Also found in this secluded guest suite is a TV on a swiveling arm that’s right next to a full-sized cedar-lined hanging locker. This cabin also features an ensuite head and shower to port.

Let’s pick back up midship on the main deck by the formal dining area and continue into the main deck foyer. The most notable thing in here is a convenient day head outboard on the starboard side and here we see the same stone countertops found throughout the rest of the interior tying all of the spaces together. Just forward there’s a winding staircase that leads up to the wheelhouse which is an area that we’ve already visited. For now we’re going to follow Ari as he heads down the forward staircase that brings us down into the lower guest foyer. Turning aft, our next stop is going to be the master stateroom.

This full beam owner suite features a walkaround king berth with a sizable footprint. Looking first to the starboard side you immediately notice the size of the windows that fill the master with light. These large windows are a consistent theme that are found in all of the lower guest accommodations as we’re about to see. Below the starboard window there’s a love seat that’s just a few steps away from a large storage area here, a walk-in cedar-lined closet. Facing out of this closet we see the master stateroom’s TV that’s mounted on the wall. A few other key features that we find in here are the desk and vanity over on the port side as well as a luxury ensuite with his and her stations and a large shower stall.

Leaving the master and heading immediately to the starboard side brings us to the first of two twin cabins. Each of these guest cabins has a pair of twin berths of which the outermost rest below the hall side window. I love how great the view is as you look out just above the water line. And another great aspect of these cabins is the amount of storage and the fact that these accommodations also have private ensuites with showers. Stepping across the hall and into the port side twin stateroom you’ll see a slightly different layout than the last but with the same amenities.

117 Crescent [Crescent lady] Yacht Head

The fifth and final guest stateroom is the forward most stop in the lower companionway. This is your second VIP with a transverse queen berth set off to starboard. At the foot of the berth is where we have access into the ensuite as well as a private walk-in cedar-lined closet that’s found just forward of the vanity. Wrapping up in the guest accommodations, Ari is going to lead us up to the last stop on today’s walkthrough, the foredeck. Passing through a watertight door we see another entrance into the yacht from the dock through an entry gate that’s integrated into a tall gunnel. This design makes the bow a safe place for guests and crew especially in inclement weather as the crew readies to drop the anchor or to tie off at the dock. Looking inboard along the superstructure you can see a long row of windows that are integrated into the galley design which is something you may have noticed when we looked at the country kitchen dinette. The principal guest used for this space is found at a raised centerline sunpad. Up here you can sit at least 2 to 3 wide comfortably and enjoy the others’ company. This is the most secluded entertaining area and makes for a great getaway at first light.

117 Crescent [Crescent Lady] Yacht Cabin

Forward of this and set into the deck are twin Maxwell 4500 windlasses. These raise and lower twin 300 pound anchors. When she’s underway the 2020 Crescent 117 is stunning. The imposing size and flare of the bow leads the charge with the rest of the long simple and elegant lines tracing aft past the salon and ducking towards the stern. This is the kind of super yacht that really makes you appreciate a true North American design with long range exploration at its core.

Ari: Thanks for joining Ryan Alexander and myself on the walkthrough today at the 2020 Crescent 117. If you would like some more information on the boat or if you would like to see her in person, feel free to reach out anytime.

Newest Turquoise Superyacht Infinite Jest explores Antarctica on her maiden voyage.

The 246 foot-long Turquoise superyacht Infinite Jest left the shipyard on her maiden voyage in the Med on July 27 last year. But unlike many yachts that do the annual pilgrimage between summer in the Med and winter in the Caribbean, this yacht’s new owners had much more adventurous plans. In fact, in just seven months, Infinite Jest travelled 19,699 miles and visited five continents, including a trip to Antarctica.

Infinite Jest - Antarctica Copyright © www.yacht-shot.com Stuart Pearce

“In December 2023, Infinite Jest left the South American continent in her wake and headed towards the great southern continent of Antarctica,” says captain Tim Davison. “Twenty-four hours later, the air and water temperatures dropped to freezing point, the sea changed color, the wildlife changed, the fog closed in, and the first icebergs were sighted. We had crossed the Antarctic convergence zone and entered a new realm, one full of uncertainty and adventure.

Turquoise superyacht Infinite Jest in Antarctica

And as you can see, Infinite Jest features exterior design by Vallicelli Yacht Design that doesn’t look like a typical “explorer yacht.” But that doesn’t mean it can’t explore Antarctica either. Of course, great care must be taken when it comes to venturing all the way to Antarctica on any vessel. But with the right boat and the right planning, exploring certain areas of the white continent is well within the capabilities of a growing list of superyachts.

“It was at this point that nearly three years of planning and preparation came to fruition,” he continues. “All the planning, meetings, surveys, additional shipyard work, and training were finally going to be put into practice.

“What lay ahead of us was the adventure of a lifetime.”

Infinite Jest in the ice strewn waters of Antarctica

So true. And it’s cool to see the way the owners of Infinite Jest struck out over the horizon as soon as they took delivery of their stylish new yacht that is obviously as at home in the ice-strewn waters of Antarctica than it will be in the med next summer.

But one thing is for sure. Anyone who accomplished a “polar plunge” from the large full-beam beach club that opens aft to the swimming platform in Antarctica, will probably enjoy sunbathing in warmer climates later this summer even more!
