A Closer Look at the $268 Million Superyacht Rocinante (Formerly "TV")

Lurssen , the internationally acclaimed superyacht builder, created a five-deck yacht named TV in 2008, and she's still a classic beauty in the yachting world today. To understand the sleek, aerodynamic beauty that is the TV, you have to take a look at this extraordinary company. After all, most luxury builders aren't invested in their commitment to sustainable business practices. Lurssen is truly an industry leader in more ways than one.

Lurssen History

"My firm shall be known as a leader in both quality and performance." Founded by Friedrich Lürssen in 1875, Lurssen Yachts has a simple mission to create a quality product. The building traditions have been handed down through the generations to help preserve and uplift the business. In fact, all the shareholders are Lurssen family members. They hold the company closely so that there are no outside risks, takeovers, or conflicts of interest. This tactic helps them stay on track to make some of the best ships and yachts in the world. So far, it has allowed them to build over 13,000 boats and ships, many of which are in service for decades. Esteemed among the world yacht makers for their investments in state of the art technology, they also hold the current record for most top 20 mega yachts. Lurssen built eleven of the twenty largest yachts in the last twenty years, and they're not stopping anytime soon. To that end, they offer lifetime support for all their vessels.

The yacht formerly known as "TV," has worn other titles over the years. She changes her name as often as she gets new owners, so like a sleek Hollywood starlet using a stage name, you may know her in another guise. Before she was called TV, she was known as the Madsummer. We can only imagine that she lived up to the name admirably. While she surely enjoyed her time as the Madsummer and the TV, this sip's current owner calls her bay a different name. She sails as the Rocinante now. The change is a recent one. The TV went up for sale in 2017, just a couple of years after her 2015 overhaul. She was sold by Robert Shepherd at Edmiston & Company and renamed. The name is a very apropos reimagining of her original guise. For those who don't know, Rocinante was the name given to another famous transport, namely Don Quixote's horse. Brave, brazen, and a little bit mad seems to be a persona the ship keeps regardless of who owns her at the time.

Achievements

Among her many achievements, the TV was featured in the prestigious 2010 edition of The Superyachts book. Her fame that year may be due to the fact that she entered in the 2009 World Superyacht Awards. She competed for Best Displacement Motor Yacht of 1,300GT to 2,999GT (approximately 60m – 84m). More importantly, she was a finalist. Her designer Espen Oeino is known for his incredible work in the ocean-faring world and beyond. With over sixty yachts to his name, the TV is a member of an incredibly prestigious family. You can see the resemblance in the lines around their decks.

Many Amenities

The Rocinante has more features than she's had names and owners. If you begin at the top, her owners' suite has panoramic windows with 360 views of the ocean. Additionally, the massive luxury abode is equipped with a private deck which overlooks several of her other decks. Lower decks have a plethora of pleasing amenities. She can handle twelve or more guests in ten luxurious bedrooms and houses a crew of over thirty. Like other top-tier luxury mega yachts, that's two or more staff per visitor. The private rooms naturally all come equipped with televisions, and there's ship-wide Wifi as well. We can't imagine why you'd want to stay in, but if you did, it would be as luxuriant as sitting out on the deck as she cruises along at twelve knots.

On deck, she has a hot tub for relaxing and unwinding any tense muscles, and two small pools for swimming in fresh water if you prefer. Our favorite feature is the outstanding barbecue arrangement and outdoor dining area. Speaking of the deck, she's covered in gorgeous glowing teak everywhere you look. With plenty of places to relax and catch some sun, plus a padded bed/couch area the size of a room to lounge in on one deck, you'll almost have to get a tan just by visiting.

You can wander downstairs and, with the owner's permission, of course, take out one of the jetskis. The back deck allows ample opportunity for those who wish to scuba or swim in the open ocean. It's not hard to imagine curious dolphins swimming right up to say hello as you take in the view near the water line.

Comfortable Cruising at its Finest

Indoors you'll find cozy niches and large lounges, dining amenities for a family or a whole party. The creme, gold, and teak color scheme is carried throughout the entire ship, and soft lines bring a sense of calm and relaxation of their own. If that's not enough to put you at your ease, try the small spa for a massage, or hit the shipboard gym to burn off some nervous energy in style. Also for the owner and guests comfort the TV aka Rocinante comes equipped with an ultra-modern stabilization system which reduces roll motion. The stability means less chance of motion sickness or sea sickness for those aboard. When it comes to deluxe features, having all the benefits of a yacht without the downside is about as good as it gets.

Final Thoughts

We're not n the market for a superyacht (yet), but if we were, Lurssen would be the first to hear about it. Beautiful yachts like the TV are only part of their appeal. Any business that works so hard to do right and use ethically sourced materials to help promote sustainable and responsible resource use is worthy of a second look. They've certainly shot to the top of our list. When you're ready to purchase your next superyacht, we hope you'll look at this forward-thinking company too, but for now, we'll lay on the beach and daydream about adding the TV to our private collection.

ROCINANTE Yacht – Remarkable $100M Superyacht

ROCINANTE yacht, formerly known as TV and Madsummer, is an exquisite mega yacht that is renowned for its outstanding style and sheer size. 

Originally built by the Lurssen shipyard back in 2008, she can accommodate 12 guests across nine cabins. 

The new superyacht comes with a sophisticated edge stemming from a distinguished, contemporary exterior and the large size of the vessel.

She is the 39th largest yacht built by Lürssen and ranks at number 179 on the world’s list of the biggest yachts. 

Among her other achievements, she was included in the 2010 edition of the popular book The Superyachts.

Her popularity that year may have stemmed from her entry into the 2009 World Superyacht Awards. She was named a finalist for the Best 1,300GT to 2,999GT Motor Yacht (about 60m – 84m).

ROCINANTE yacht interior

The interior design was designed by Alberto Pinto, a design firm that encompasses more than a style and his passion for creating rooms that are both opulent and delightful in their design and construction.

The spacious guest suites reflect the yacht’s clean, fresh, and ambient style. In order to enhance the ambiance, each guest room has its unique style. 

Each furnishing and decorative feature has been carefully selected to create a truly luxurious yet functional space for guests to enjoy while onboard. 

The luxuriously appointed interior of the ROCINANTE yacht, the seagoing mega-yacht built in collaboration between a luxury Italian fashion house and Italian yacht designer Espen Oeino , reveals a spacious layout that is arranged on two decks. 

The top deck houses a forward stateroom with a large jetted tub and a double shower. She also contains the main saloon, which boasts an elegant marble fireplace and is furnished with leather seating areas and sofas surrounding a coffee table by Foscarini Casa .

ROCINANTE was also the name of another renowned mode of travel, Don Quixote’s steed. The superyacht maintains a brave, arrogant, and somewhat insane demeanor regardless of who controls her at the moment.

The boat is completely decked up in lovely gleaming teak. With lots of spots to unwind and soak up some sun and a cushioned bed/couch space the size of a room on one deck, you’re virtually obligated to obtain a tan just by coming.

Accommodation

With its eight suites, five VIP cabins, and a total of 12 guestrooms, the ROCINANTE yacht can accommodate up to 12 people in total luxury. 

Aside from that, there are two staff cabins on board. She can also accommodate up to 32 crew members, ensuring that guests enjoy a stress-free luxury yacht experience. 

A beauty salon, sauna, and beauty salon are among the amenities available. She also has an elevator, satellite communications, a gym, a deck jacuzzi, WiFi, and air conditioning.

Specifications

THE ROCINANTE yacht has a steel hull and an aluminum superstructure, with teak decks and a teak deckhouse. 

Powered by twin Caterpillar (3516 DI TA SCAC) 2,717hp diesel engines running at 1600rpm, she cruises comfortably at 12 knots and can reach a top speed of 17 knots. 

She has a range of up to 6,000 nautical miles from her 126,000-liter fuel tanks when traveling at 12 knots. 

When at anchor or on a cruise, an innovative stabilization system onboard ensures guests will be in outstanding comfort. Her water tanks have a capacity of around 40,000 Litres of fresh water. 

She was constructed in accordance with Lloyds Register 100A1 SSC Yacht, Mono G6 + LMC, UMS classification society guidelines, and is MCA compliant, among other standards.

The ROCINANTE yacht has a price of US $100 million and has an annual running cost of US $5 – 10 million.

Ahoy there! American billionaire's superyacht arrives in Falmouth Marina

• West Country
• Falmouth Harbour
• Friday 15 September 2023 at 7:57pm

An £80million superyacht, owned by an American billionaire, has moored up in Cornwall .

Rocinante, which is 258ft long, arrived in Falmouth Harbour on Thursday 14 September, making everybody else's boats look small in comparison.

Built in 2008 by the Lurssen shipyard in Germany, it was formerly known as TV and Madsummer, before being bought by games developer Gabe Newell.

The billionaire, who is president of the gaming company Valve, was reported to have a net-worth of $4.3billion in 2023.

The luxury vessel costs between £4million and £8million to run, but was renamed by the tech mogul after a less expensive mode of transport — Don Quixote's horse.

Rocinante was in good company this week, with another billionaire's £40million superyacht not far away.

Game Changer is owned by Hong Kong based billionaire heiress Karen Lo.

She was spotted conducting sea trials in Falmouth on 15 September as part of work at Pendennis Shipyard.

Game Changer was initially designed to be a support vessel to allow owners of superyachts to carry more equipment.

But she was later adapted and upgraded to become a superyacht in her own right.

The 230ft Dutch-built vessel not only has a helicopter landing pad, but also a submarine and custom dive centre.

SuperYacht ROCINANTE (ex TV, Madsummer) is a celebrated 78.33m (256' 11") Lurssen-built and Espen Oeino-designed, full-displacement, high volume luxury yacht which was launched in 2008. ROCINANTE is an exceptional vessel that was formally known by the name TV. She is a very large private yacht which provides her lucky guests with everything they could desire and wish for. An often admired yacht, ROCINANTE is interesting, unique and identifiable with her custom exterior design and sheer size. She provides a total of 9 staterooms for 12 guests.

NOTABLE FEATURES: ~ large owner deck with beautiful master suite, office, lounge area and Jacuzzi ~ lovely guest suites ~ plenty of areas to dine both indoor and outdoors ~ entertainment areas including cinema ~ gymnasium ~ swim platform/beach club ~ hammam, spa and massage facilities ~ great selection of toys

Her interior design was created by Alberto Pinto and it could be described as is clean and fresh, yet colourful and ambient. Alberto Pinto has worked on hotels, residences, yachts and jets and he typically borrows from various cultural influences and "has built his works on the interbreeding and mixture of genders from more than baroque to less than bare".

As is increasingly desirable in a modern superyacht of this length and volume, ROCINANTE has a full owner suite which is situated forward on the yacht (for panoramic views) on the owner's deck. In this private area, which is separated from other guests, there is a large master bedroom with a king-sized bed and his & hers ensuite bathroom. There is also an owner's office and private balcony and Spa Pool area forward.

ROCINANTE Specifications

While ROCINANTE offers intimate privacy if desired, she has been specifically designed by naval architect Espen Oeino for socialising and entertaining for a large number of guests. She offers plenty of space for different uses in her common area saloons, dining and relaxation areas, and her outdoor areas are very impressive. For further entertainment on her main deck, an indoor cinema can also be converted into a children’s playroom where required.

The vessel's sundeck area features a large outside Spa Pool pool with a capacity of 16 persons and a contraflow swimming pool. The yacht's lower deck accommodates a health spa facility including a beauty salon, a sauna and massage room and a fully equipped gymnasium for health and fitness. This dedicated health and spa area expand onto a large fold-down sea terrace on the aft for guests to enjoy a relaxing sauna or to receiving massage treatments, unwind in the hammam or engage in gym activities.

Quick Enquiry

"I once had a client who told me, “I will put your name on the side of my boat if it’s good, but if the boat is not good, your name will appear three times as big.” We were brought up with the sense that it is a very personal obligation for the family when we sign a contract to deliver a yacht that the client expects. I cannot go to a client and say “One of my guys made a mistake.” He would say “Is he Mr. Lürssen, or are you Mr. Lürssen?” But a successful delivery is also a great reward. I take the relationships of my clients very personally." - Peter Lürssen of Lürssen Yachts (courtesy SuperYachtTimes)

Cruising the Moskva River: A short guide to boat trips in Russia’s capital

There’s hardly a better way to absorb Moscow’s atmosphere than on a ship sailing up and down the Moskva River. While complicated ticketing, loud music and chilling winds might dampen the anticipated fun, this checklist will help you to enjoy the scenic views and not fall into common tourist traps.

How to find the right boat?

There are plenty of boats and selecting the right one might be challenging. The size of the boat should be your main criteria.

Plenty of small boats cruise the Moskva River, and the most vivid one is this yellow Lay’s-branded boat. Everyone who has ever visited Moscow probably has seen it.

This option might leave a passenger disembarking partially deaf as the merciless Russian pop music blasts onboard. A free spirit, however, will find partying on such a vessel to be an unforgettable and authentic experience that’s almost a metaphor for life in modern Russia: too loud, and sometimes too welcoming. Tickets start at $13 (800 rubles) per person.

Bigger boats offer smoother sailing and tend to attract foreign visitors because of their distinct Soviet aura. Indeed, many of the older vessels must have seen better days. They are still afloat, however, and getting aboard is a unique ‘cultural’ experience. Sometimes the crew might offer lunch or dinner to passengers, but this option must be purchased with the ticket. Here is one such  option  offering dinner for $24 (1,490 rubles).

If you want to travel in style, consider Flotilla Radisson. These large, modern vessels are quite posh, with a cozy restaurant and an attentive crew at your service. Even though the selection of wines and food is modest, these vessels are still much better than other boats.

Surprisingly, the luxurious boats are priced rather modestly, and a single ticket goes for $17-$32 (1,100-2,000 rubles); also expect a reasonable restaurant bill on top.

How to buy tickets?

Women holding photos of ships promise huge discounts to “the young and beautiful,” and give personal invitations for river tours. They sound and look nice, but there’s a small catch: their ticket prices are usually more than those purchased online.

“We bought tickets from street hawkers for 900 rubles each, only to later discover that the other passengers bought their tickets twice as cheap!”  wrote  (in Russian) a disappointed Rostislav on a travel company website.

Nevertheless, buying from street hawkers has one considerable advantage: they personally escort you to the vessel so that you don’t waste time looking for the boat on your own.

Prices start at $13 (800 rubles) for one ride, and for an additional $6.5 (400 rubles) you can purchase an unlimited number of tours on the same boat on any given day.

Flotilla Radisson has official ticket offices at Gorky Park and Hotel Ukraine, but they’re often sold out.

Buying online is an option that might save some cash. Websites such as  this   offer considerable discounts for tickets sold online. On a busy Friday night an online purchase might be the only chance to get a ticket on a Flotilla Radisson boat.

This  website  (in Russian) offers multiple options for short river cruises in and around the city center, including offbeat options such as ‘disco cruises’ and ‘children cruises.’ This other  website  sells tickets online, but doesn’t have an English version. The interface is intuitive, however.

Buying tickets online has its bad points, however. The most common is confusing which pier you should go to and missing your river tour.

“I once bought tickets online to save with the discount that the website offered,” said Igor Shvarkin from Moscow. “The pier was initially marked as ‘Park Kultury,’ but when I arrived it wasn’t easy to find my boat because there were too many there. My guests had to walk a considerable distance before I finally found the vessel that accepted my tickets purchased online,” said the man.

There are two main boarding piers in the city center:  Hotel Ukraine  and  Park Kultury . Always take note of your particular berth when buying tickets online.

Where to sit onboard?

Even on a warm day, the headwind might be chilly for passengers on deck. Make sure you have warm clothes, or that the crew has blankets ready upon request.

The glass-encased hold makes the tour much more comfortable, but not at the expense of having an enjoyable experience.

Getting off the boat requires preparation as well. Ideally, you should be able to disembark on any pier along the way. In reality, passengers never know where the boat’s captain will make the next stop. Street hawkers often tell passengers in advance where they’ll be able to disembark. If you buy tickets online then you’ll have to research it yourself.

There’s a chance that the captain won’t make any stops at all and will take you back to where the tour began, which is the case with Flotilla Radisson. The safest option is to automatically expect that you’ll return to the pier where you started.

River Cruise on Luxurious Radisson Boat

• Description
• Choose date

Equipped with ice-breaking technology, these huge fancy yachts are the only river cruisers running all year around. The round trip journey takes two and a half hours and floats past all the big sights like the White House, Novodevichy monastery and the Kremlin. There’s a large open air observation deck up top, while the main body of the ship houses a restaurant with a dance floor for a romantic post dinner dance. For a particularly romantic experience take one of the evening boats and admire the bright lights of the city skyline at night.

The most relaxing and picturesque tour that Moscow can offer: a great way to see the city center and its main attractions. This is a perfect alternative to exploring the city by car, if you only have time to do sightseeing during weekday rush hours.

Your English-speaking guide is eager to share every bit of their knowledge about the surrounding landscape, the architecture and historical details.

We conduct Moscow river tour on Radisson Flotilla boats all year around!  It’s warm inside during winter months, while there’s air conditioning during hot summer days. You may also treat yourself to drinks, lunch or dinner on board (drinks and food are not included in tour price).

NOTE TO U.S. CUSTOMS & BORDER PROTECTION

Due to the international and fluid nature of the yachting business and the fact there is no global central industry listing service to which all charter yachts subscribe it is impossible to ascertain a truly up-to-date view of the market. We are a news and information service and not always informed when yachts leave the charter market, or when they are recently sold and renamed it is not clear if they are still for charter. Whilst we use our best endeavors to maintain accurate information, the existence of a listing on this website should in no way supersede official documentation supplied by representatives of a yacht.
