Renaissance
Following her launch in early 2023, the 112-metre motor yacht Renaissance has not only joined the charter fleet but is now one of the most expensive yachts for charter. Built by the Spanish shipyard Freire, Renaissance is the largest yacht built in Spain and one of the largest projects designed by the British studio Bannenberg & Rowell.
While her sheer size could justify her hefty price tag, her masterful interiors – which include a double-height dining saloon and a private owner’s deck – are impressive enough to fathom the cost. With a sophisticated neutral colour palate and tactile furnishings, the 112-metre has been designed with multi-generational charter in mind. Across her six decks, Renaissance has an expansive beach club stocked with the latest water toys, plus a bar and waterside dining area. A large swimming pool sits on the main deck aft and there is an entire spa deck, which includes a fitness centre, hot and cold plunge pools, a steam room and sauna, treatment rooms and hair and beauty salons.
Renaissance is managed for charter with Burgess.
Lady Jorgia
Stats: 115.1 metres, Lürssen, 2022, 16 guests, 36 crew
Lady Jorgia (ex. Ahpo) made waves when she left the shipyard at Lürssen with her striking duo-tone exterior and half-moon windows. The 115.1-metre superyacht hit the headlines earlier this year when she was sold in what was believed to be the biggest brokerage deal in history.
If her commercial helipad and world-class gym aren’t enough to tempt you on board, perhaps the yacht’s two-storey owner’s suite or eight-metre swimming pool might. Wellness is at the heart of a charter on board Ahpo seen in her nature-themed spa, complete with a massage room, Himalayan salt sauna and a Turkish-style hammam finished in vibrant mosaics and ivory onyx.
Nature is another theme that continues throughout the vessel, seen in the choice of artwork, the central staircase (which depicts an olive tree) and the grand dining room, which is themed around water lilies. She also has a full-time crew of 36, on hand to ensure that every whim is catered to.
