Exemplifying European Craftsmanship and American Design, Lürssen's Motor Yacht Envy Makes a Comeback
A heady cocktail of European craftsmanship infused with an American flavor, the Lürssen’s Envy yacht is a sight to behold. Sculpted to perfection by the renowned German shipyard in 1996, the yacht recently returned to the brokerage market, showcasing the high-quality aluminum construction that is a testimony to its pedigree origins. Overseen by Drettmann Yachts, this majestic work of art now awaits the discerning appraisal of potential patrons.
Envy owes its charismatic exterior to Beiderbeck Designs while its ultramodern interiors were brought to life by Patrick Knowles and Birgit Schnaase. The yacht underwent a full refurbishment in 2005 with its latest enhancements completed as recently as 2018. The present asking price for this beauty is €5,900,000, with VAT duly paid.
Emerging in a blaze of intrigue from its shed in Lemwerder, Germany, the Lürssen-built superyacht Ace 21 has been sighted for the first time. Straddling the line between alluring secrecy and tantalising revelation, this 78-metre colossus was briefly transported between halls at the shipyard, preparing for the final stage of works anticipated for completion this year.
Ace 21, initially spotted in 2023 during her hull’s outfitting, has let slip bits of her design puzzle, featuring five decks marked by sterility and modernity, coupled with a stalwart plumb bow. While the architects remain unannounced, Ace 21 shows off a steel and aluminium structure powered with diesel propulsion, engendered with 2,500GT volume that testifies to Lürssen’s design gravitas.
