Welcome to the most exclusive club on the seven seas. The 44-meter CMN superyacht De-De is now proudly owned by a new sea captain. The deal was brokered by Adam Levine of IYC representing the seller and Joao Kossmann of BYS International introducing the lucky buyer. This isn’t just any yacht but a floating masterpiece designed by Stirling Design International and crafted with precision by the renowned French yard in 2002.
In 2020, De-De underwent a significant transformation, completely reinventing its look and feel. She received a multimillion-euro refit including a brand-new hull paint job, bringing new life to the yacht’s exterior. Inside, guests will notice fresh carpets throughout, and those working behind the scenes will appreciate the upgraded crew areas. The majority of her technical systems were given an overhaul or service, enhancing her performance and longevity. All this for a last-known asking price of $7,990,000.
Imagine the exhilarating 2025 Noble Marine Travellers’ Trophy Lightning 368 Southern Championship, a testament to man’s audacious spirit, conducted at the prestigious Up River Yacht Club. Once a year, the calm tranquility of the water is disrupted by a thrilling spectacle of yachts, slicing the waves with the grace of a dancer and the precision of a swordsman.
The anticipation and excitement ripple through the air as crews in sleek sailing gear familiarize themselves with their yachts. The adversary? The unpredictable wild nature of the azure depths of the ocean. But fear not. The yachts command the sea offering unshakeable solidarity against the capricious gusts.
