Saudi businessman’s 377-feet Lurssen superyacht was so magnificent that billionaires started making offers the moment he took delivery of the vessel. Roman Abramovich made an offer so ridiculously high that the sheik immediately sold him his boat after taking just one cruise on it.

Pelorus, the mighty—

With two 3,900kW Wärtsilä V12 engines and four 465kVA alternators, Pelorus is a powerful beast, and that’s an understatement. Adding the pretty to the powerful is the indomitable team of Tim Heywood on exteriors and beachside villa interiors by Terence Disdale.

The many owners of superyacht Pelorus—

After Abramovich, the luxury vessel went to his now ex-wife, Irina Abramovich, as part of her divorce settlement, who sold the Lurssen beauty in 2011 for $300 million to tycoon David Geffen. Pelorus was then sold to Sheikh Abdullah bin Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan (Minister of Foreign Affairs of the United Arab Emirates) for $215 million and finally went to Chinese billionaire Samuel Tak Lee in 2016.

A Closer Look at the $300 Million Superyacht Pelorus

Lurssen builds some of the most iconic yachts on earth. The Golden Odyssey, for example, is a beautiful superyacht they created, which is believed to belong to Prince Khaled of Saudi Arabia. The stunning light blue details make it instantly identifiable. Perhaps most well known is the Azzam. The 180-meter mega yacht is the largest in the world . Doubtless, if you want an unforgettable sailing experience, Lurssen can help make your dreams come true.

Naming Your Ship

A pelorus is the name of a piece of shipboard equipment that helps take relative bearings on distant objects. The Pelorus, built in 2003 at Lürssen’s Krogerwerft facility, gets its name from the vital tool. Not many yachts are given such practical names; in fact, most are given more fantastic or feminine names. Some ships even get punny names, but the Pelorus is downright scientific. Traditionally, ships were given feminine names. Unlike American English, in most languages, objects, like tools and boats, have gendered names. In the Mediterranean, all ships have been ‘female’ for centuries. This led to many ships getting female names and being called ‘she’ in languages where this isn’t necessarily the case. Just as in English, we call boats ‘she and her,’ despite our gender-neutral forms.

The exact origin of this quirk is unknown, but it’s believed that the association comes from early sailors. Before powered motors and even before the world was known to be a sphere, a sailor might spend months or years onboard before returning home again. Their relationships with the vessels that carried the were often more profound and more significant than their connection to their land-bound sisters, mothers, wives, or daughters. Many sailors, even now still associate ships with women. They believe each has a specific way she prefers to be handled. The ‘personalities’ of the vessels are often compared to female emotions, and though it’s old fashioned and a bit biased, many still hold to the idea that if you don’t treat your ship the way she likes, you’ll suffer her wrath.

Awards & Stats

Not every yacht can be an award-winning superstar in its own right. The sleek and powerful Pelorus won two awards in 2004. She won awards for her decadent interior and one for her overall size category as well.

  • International Superyacht Society Awards 2004 Best Power 43m+
  • International Superyacht Society Awards 2004 Best Power Interior

Awards aren’t the only thing that makes this particular yacht so sought after . She has many outstanding qualities. Her designers are internationally known and sought after for their expertise. Tim Heywood drew the working areas and superstructure of this beloved beauty.

The History of the Pelorus

Pelorus has had more owners than most yachts in her short life. We can’t speculate on why any individual would sell such a beautiful ship, but she does get around a lot. The Pelorus has been seen and owned all over the world in her short life. When she was first commissioned, the Pelorus was intended as a replacement for another yacht, the Coral Island. However, the original Saudi Arabian owner didn’t keep her. He decided to sell his beautiful commission, and after several bids, he soon received an offer he couldn’t refuse. The yacht went to Russian tycoon Roman Abramovich who added a second helipad. He had her for three or four years before his circumstances changed. Unfortunately, in 2007, Roman divorced. We don’t know if his ex-wife got the car or the house, but she certainly appears to have gotten the yacht. Pelorus received an update in 2007 and a few years later was resold again.

In May of 2011, David Geffen, the co-founder of Dreamworks, bought her. He enjoyed her very briefly, and the same year passed her on to the royal family of Abu Dhabi. The information on the sale came out as a part of the Panama Papers Leaks. The royals sailed the Pelorus for a further five years before they too sold her. In 2016 Chinese billionaire, Samuel Tak Lee purchased her. He’s had her since that time, but who knows when the flighty Pelorus will move on to her next owner.

Decadence Personified

The inside was the handiwork of Terence Disdale (https://www.superyachts.com/directory-1520/terence-disdale.htm). He gave the Pelorus an owners suite that is entirely private even from the rest of the ship and has a full 180-degree panoramic view. The yacht is decked out (no pun intended) in a very apropos informal beach villa inspired style. Her fun and stylish features make this yacht the perfect vacation destination.

  • Two pools, one with artificial current and the other a spa-pool grace the decks so swimmers can enjoy salt-free ocean swimming. There’s also a relaxing jacuzzi and a swimming platform with underwater lights.
  •  You can work out in the private Gym and then get treated at the spa.
  • Helipads and Elevators mean easy access to the ship and all its areas.
  •  The Beach Club is a great place to have a casual party.
  •  A Dance Floor for formal balls or nightclub action depending on how you want to use them
  •  Take in a show at the private cinema when you get tired of the ocean view (if that’s even possible).

Cabins & Staff

The staff on the Pelorus is rotated in such a way as to keep it constantly running. With quarters for 41 staff and plenty of private cabins, this boat is ready for parties, or events whenever the owner desires. The master suite takes up the top deck, but the VIP suites are also incredible. One of the rooms has a wall that lowers to create a veranda. When you add the eight double suites as well, there are eleven cabins for the owner and guests, and it can accommodate 22 visitors comfortably.

Known for her award-winning proportions and looks as well as her ownership history, here are the details on this lovely custom yacht.

  • Length: 377.30ft /115m
  • Built | Refit: 2003 | 2007
  • Model: Custom
  • Beam: 56.43ft /17.2m
  • Gross Tonnage: 5403 Tonnes
  • Draft: 15.29ft /4.66m
  • Cruising Speed: 17 Knots
  • Top Speed: 20 Knots
  • Range: 6000 Nautical Miles
  • Materials: Steel and Aluminum

Final Thoughts

If you’re in the market for a truly stunning and acclaimed superyacht, this elegant yet casual ship is probably on many wealthy bucket lists. We can’t say when she’ll next be up for sale, though with the Pelorus’ history it does seem likely that she could be available again soon enough. For now, she’s off the market, but nothing is out of reach if you have the finances. Indeed, if we could dream up a perfect ocean vacation , this would be where we’d want to hang our beach hats this summer.

Jimmy Carroll on Creating out of this World Experiences with Pelorus Yacht Expeditions

Written By: Naomi Chadderton

As co-founder of Pelorus, the yacht expedition company that facilitates trips to the most remote corners of the globe, ex British Army captain Jimmy Carroll knows all about adventure, and he sure has some experiences to tell.

Jimmy Carroll Pelorus 1200x800 5

Alongside co-founder Geordie Mackay-Lewis, Jimmy's passion for exploration has led to the creation of some of the most exclusive experiences in the world, including ice-diving in Greenland, scuba diving in Indonesia and witchdoctor ceremonies in Papua New Guinea.

Recently in London, we caught up with Jimmy to discuss his most memorable experiences, his desire to discover new destinations for yachts around the world, and how he plans to get there.

Can you tell us about your background and what led you to start Pelorus?

My business partner Geordie and I met in the foothills of the Hindu Kush in Afghanistan during our time in the British Army, and this experience really formed the basis of what we do at Pelorus – we’ve used our military knowledge to form our yacht expeditions planning model.

When we left the army, we didn’t see each other for about five years – Geordie ran an electronics company across seven different countries in Europe before moving into very high-end travel, and I was slightly more eclectic – I ran a year-long medical research expedition up Mount Everest focused on intensive care which saw us building labs and an operating theatre at base camp. 

When I came back I changed tack completely and became the global tour manager for Manchester United, taking them around the world working on everything from the commercial side of the games to the actual delivery of the tour. It was fascinating working with such a huge global brand which strives for the best in everything they do, both on and off the field.

Jimmy Carroll Pelorus 1200x800 3

It was my next step that saw me enter the superyacht world, when I was head-hunted for the role of Head of Marketing and Communications for Winch Design and, during that time, expedition yachting was really coming on more and more. It was when I was at the Global Superyacht Forum speaking about its rise that I ran into Geordie again – we had a catch up and started putting some ideas together for Pelorus.

What’s the scope of Pelorus’ services?

Pelorus is made up of three businesses – yacht expeditions, land-based expeditions and the B2B corporate arm. When it comes to the superyacht aspect, we offer a full turnkey service, handling everything from conception, planning, permits, logistics and provisioning, all the way through to product delivery. We work directly with owners, captains, brokers and the yards, so the service spans the whole industry.

With our land-based experiences, we work with individuals, couples and groups to help find them the best experiences in the world. That’s our mantra for everything – we’re not confined by location – we go out there to find the best locations that allow us to do what we do.

Of course a big part of the experience is being on the yacht, but that’s just part of it - the yacht is the perfect platform to go and explore with. We want to use it to penetrate deep in land, have tribal immersions and wildlife or conservation experiences. We can therefore overlay our land-based knowledge on top of yachting to really build out everything we do. There are so many places that don’t have the infrastructure that our clients might be used to [the high-end hotels], but with our expeditions we have all the assets on the yacht.

Who is your clientele?

It’s high net worth and ultra-high net worth individuals with an average age of around 52. Ultimately, it’s people who have already made their money, typically those who have been working for quite a while and built their own businesses. However we’re also seeing generational wealth coming through – the mid-40s who are inheriting the baby-boomer wealth, and also more of the early 30s. This is especially noticeable among some of our west coast clients who have made very good money at a younger age – the dot com generation is really feeding through. It’s great to see the ages coming down though - a year ago we would have said our average age was around 57.

Jimmy Carroll Pelorus 1200x800

Are your expeditions solely private or do you cater for clients looking to join a group?

Traditionally in yachting, it’s all about the private experience and that accounts for 90 percent of what we can offer, be it working with an owner or charter guests to build an amazing experience for them. However we now want to introduce more people to yachting. The barrier to entrance is always the price – it’s very expensive to charter a yacht – so we’ve created a new initiative working with different yachts to build a per cabin charter. This will allow us to bring in people who are still high net worth, but perhaps don’t quite have that extremely high level of disposable income. Right now the two options are either to explore on a cruise ship with hundreds of other people, or go on your own superyacht but at a really high price – there’s nothing in between. By doing this, we open our experiences up to a lot more people.

Can you talk us through some examples of the types of experience you offer?

With expedition yachting we can go anywhere - it all depends on the desire of the client and what their dreams are. We can educate them on what to do, too. There’s far more control for those who own the yacht however; if it’s a charter, we’re a little more constrained about where we can go.

Earlier this year we delivered an amazing experience sailing around Raja Ampat – it’s a phenomenal place. It has the most immaculate diving I’ve ever seen, crystal-clear waters, an abundance of sea life, amazing corals, and the nature of the landscape is amazing. Antarctica is always going to be up there too because it’s so rare to be able to get there and it’s a big bucket-list trip.

We recently conducted a recce for a 90m superyacht that we’ll be taking to Eritrea next year, and this is the kind of example where we think bigger picture. The area is completely unknown, so the recce involved meeting with governments and ministers to ensure we have a really strong understanding of what’s going on and securing the right access and permits to be able to take a yacht. In this area, the diving off the Dahlak Islands is phenomenal, it has some of the best corals and there’s no mass tourism, but yachts just transit past it because there’s history and conflict. It’s actually incredibly safe. Being able to break into a new territory is great and ideally we’re working to create an industry within that to give back while offering our clients something very different.

We’re also working on Greenland where clients can ice-dive, dog sled and heli-ski, as well as Iceland and Papua New Guinea. This is one of those places where infrastructure is very poor, but thankfully a yacht allows us to explore so much more. We can arrange a helicopter on board so guests can punch deep into the heart of it, meet the tribes - all sorts of things.

Another example would be Oman. The Middle East is often overlooked as a superyacht destination, but it shouldn’t be. We can go into the wadis, go climbing, trekking, punch into the largest expanse of desert in the Empty Quarter – you name it. Clients don’t have to stay on a yacht every night of their trip either – we can build a mobile camp and stay out on-land underneath the stars for a night.

Jimmy Carroll Pelorus 1200x800 4

It’s all about this journey of taking people out of their comfort zone, about getting that sense of adventure. So much of the world has been explored now and it’s very hard to find those remote regions. The benefit of Pelorus is that we can get to these places far more easily, but in comfort and style. We can give you a taste of that true explorer.

Have you ever been asked to go anywhere you haven’t been able to?

Yes – we’ve been asked to go to conflict zones. And I wouldn’t go to Venezuela right now with a yacht – it’s just not safe. We work with security firms and government level FCOs to understand what their picture of global regions is like, and also people like Veritas who are phenomenally good at what they do. We can also bring them in to provide security on a yacht if we’re going past an area that’s slightly dangerous.

Speaking of danger, how to you ensure all your expeditions are safe?

We’re lucky that security and safety come as second nature to both Geordie and I – whatever we do, we’re thinking about the safety of our clientele. That’s the bedrock of the business – it may be technical and unglamorous, but once that is sorted we can really go about building the journey.

There are a lot of places where you don’t need lots of overt security – this will just draw attention to the yacht. It also depends on the nature of the clients – there are lots of ultras out there that people don’t know so it doesn’t make sense to draw attention. However, some clients are very high profile and in the public eye so they need more presence. Again, we know how to manage this. I often think the best form of security is also the most subtle form.

What is the most popular destination request?

That’s like asking who your favourite child is! Antarctica is always going to have the draw because demand far outstrips supply. It’s a long way to get to and planning needs a minimum of six months to arrange permits, so you can’t do it on a whim. These barriers mean it’s also slightly more exclusive.

Areas like Kamchatka are coming up, and the whole Japan and Indonesia are all coming online a lot more. We’re also seeing more requests for the Northwest Passage, and places like South America and Patagonia. We’re currently planning trips that look at circumnavigating the whole of south America which would be extraordinary – there are so many amazing place you can stop off at in Brazil and Columbia. I love Venezuela too, and I would definitely recommend it when the situation becomes more stable. 

Jimmy Carroll Pelorus 1200x800 6

And what would an expedition like this cost?

It really depends on the client and their wants - we’ve done trips closer to home which have been around $30,000-$35,000, but when its more remote and we’re bringing in lots of assets – think helicopters, support vessels, an ice-breaker etc – this is when it can just keep building and building. We can bring in a BBC Blue Planet team, scientists to curate activities, and we’ve worked with charities – we recently teamed up with the Ecuadorian government to create a hammerhead shark tagging initiative. It’s also important to bring in photography and videography to document the trip and create those lasting memories. Imagine having photos shot by famous photographers – it has a story in itself. Two of the members from BBC Blue Planet could have shot your film. That’s where our specialties lie; adding all this to create something really unique. Then the sky is the limit when it comes to price.

The yacht is the best vehicle to go and explore, and we want to build the best experience possible. When the client understands that they’re getting what we call an experiential return on investment, they tend to spend more and really build it out. After all, a lot of these places you may only visit once.

What are the biggest challenges you face?

Educating people and showing them the potential of what they can do. Yes, cruising the Mediterranean and the Caribbean is incredible, but there’s so much more out there and we want to get more people to understand that, also the fact that you don’t need to have an explorer yacht. While I’m a big fan of them, yachts in general are built to travel the seas so with clever logistics, planning and provisioning, we can take a yacht which is predominantly sat in the Mediterranean to completely new places, showing the owners brand-new destinations while making their yachts do things they never knew they could.

What sets Pelorus apart from other expedition companies?

It has to be our team and their experience. We’ve got a mixture of people who work in travel and those who have worked in the yachting industry at the highest level. It’s not easy to break into this industry and understand peoples’ expectations – you have to have lived and breathed it and then you can really add value.

You’ve also got to work at every level; work with the crew to make their life easier and to take the stress away from going to remote places.

There are two things in the world we can’t guarantee – the weather and wildlife. But we can put in place the best possible measures so that if either of these things fail, we can ensure there’s a back-up plan.

How do you ensure your expeditions are as environmentally-friendly as possible?

Inherently, with yachting, there’s a lot of manufacturing that goes into building them, creating big engines and even the cleaning products used. However we’re seeing a massive change throughout the process, from shipyards which are become greener, to the propulsion systems and hybrid engines coming through. It’s all really positive and we’re massively behind all of that.

But how do we offset things and how do we give back? We might create a program with a charity that has a positive impact on a specific area – the hammerhead shark tagging initiative for example. We have also created marine reserves and worked with the Blue Marine Foundation to promote their services and we know that clients can really make a positive impact and facilitate change. It’s not just stopping over-fishing and reducing plastic – it’s education of the local population and clients, too.

Jimmy Carroll Pelorus 1200x800 2

What is the most exciting adventure you’ve ever been on?

During my time in the army I served in Iraq and Afghanistan twice, which was an experience I’ll never forget; it formed who I am now and what we bring to Pelorus. Since then, it has to be the time we were trying to cross the Darien Gap between Panama and Columbia. We knew we were going into a hostile area so we were hyper vigilant, had done a lot of research and were aware of what we were doing. However we got two thirds of the way through when we encountered the FARC insurgency, so we had to turn around. We went back down the coast of Panama, dug out long boats and stayed in the Kuna Provence with the local people. We slept in their communes and the whole village would rush out to see us. This adaption to our plan gave us just as good an experience as going through the Darien Gap completely, and maybe even better.

Where’s next on your list?

I haven’t been to Antarctica yet; I definitely want to go there. Altai Republic is also high up my list – it’s a very beautiful and remote part of Russia down between Mongolia and Kazakhstan.

Where do you see the company in the next five/ten years?

I want Pelorus to be the leading authority in experiential yachting expeditions with a global presence, delivering the best yacht expeditions across the globe, from cold to hot environments, jungle to desert, and not being confined by boundaries. We also want to open up new areas. There are so many places you can potentially go to – Socotra, for example, is an oasis and utopian land that not many people know about but it has amazing people, landscapes, flora and fauna. It’s definitely best visited on a yacht.

Yachting is changing, regions are changing, and how we charter is changing. There are less restrictions these days and the Far East is a big part of that. It’s all about building the infrastructure and the ports to really open the area up and, when that comes, it will allow easier access for charters. We’re at a really exciting stage with yachting!

An easier route to the path less trodden

We sat down with the founders of travel and yacht expedition company pelorus to discuss their new venture….

Image for article An easier route to the path less trodden

As owners continue to look further afield for the ultimate superyacht experience, SuperyachtNews sat down with the founders of Pelorus, Geordie Mackay-Lewis and Jimmy Carroll, to discuss their new venture. The pair, who first met while serving in the British Army, launched Pelorus a year and a half ago to deliver bespoke experiential expeditions to superyacht clients.

To date, Pelorus has worked with five yachts and currently has eight more in the pipeline. According to the founders, what sets Pelorus apart from their competitors is that they “start with the experience,” preferring to focus on the creative side of the expedition initially, concerning themselves with the logistical challenges once the itinerary is put in place . “We like talking about the fun stuff,” they explain.

Recently, Pelorus managed a successful recce for a 90m superyacht in Eritea. The intention was to do a diving expedition in the region, but was proving to be particularly difficult in a place that “doesn’t understand what a pleasure craft is”. In order to make the trip a reality, the Pelorus team spent two days negotiating with seven different ministries to get the requisite special permissions to engage in a whole host of activities, thereby unlocking the doors at government level.

"It keeps the owner happy too so it's a win win all round"

In recent years, there has been a noticeable uptick in owners wishing to get off the beaten track and, according to Pelorus, this phenomenon doesn't seem to be dependent on how long people have been in the industry. Carroll explains that Pelorus has several “new, younger clients that are approaching their early their thirties. The West Coast tech billionaires particularly want to do more with their yachts and, to a certain degree, they know what is possible.” However, they have also had a lot of interest from the more “experienced yachties” who know what they want to do but are looking for someone to help and guide them.

The responsibility for sort this kind of expedition has, traditionally, been put on the shoulders of captains, which Pelorus believes is the wrong way to approach such a voyage. “The captains are already so busy that it becomes a real headache for them to deliver these trips themselves and they don't have the background and the experience. They are very well travelled and know certain parts of the world very well because they have been in the game for years, but when you start to branch out they need someone to relieve that pressure for them. It keeps the owner happy too so it's a win win all round,” says Mackay-Lewis.

“Captains can’t afford to lose a crew member to go and do a recce, so then you find yourself relying on a third party and that can be a big chance to take. Most of the time a client won’t accept one error, let alone two. You have to be watertight - excuse the pun,” says Carroll.

Pelorus offers a turn key experience to private yacht owners, building the entire experience for them. For charter yachts its very similar to what the owner gets, except the client has to pay for the yacht as well. They are not affiliated with any particular brokerage house but have worked closely with several brokerages and can lead individuals to one that they feel would be a suitable fit.

PELORUS Yacht – Sumptuous $250 M Superyacht

The PELORUS yacht is named after the Greek word “vast” because she is one of the largest boats in the world. 

Lurssen built the multi-award-winning 115m/377’4″ motor yacht ‘Pelorus’ at their Bremen shipyard in Germany.

Her interior was designed by Terence Disdale , an English design studio, and she was delivered to her owner in May 2003.

Tim Heywood Design created the exterior design for this luxury yacht, which was recently refurbished in 2007.

The PELORUS yacht is designed to comfortably accommodate up to 18 guests in nine suites, comprising two VIP cabins and an additional 41 crew in 20 rooms, to ensure a relaxed luxury yacht experience. 

PELORUS is currently sailing under the Cayman Islands flag, the second most popular superyacht flag state.

PELORUS yacht interior

Terence Disdale was in charge of her design, and he developed an interior that embraced the relaxed and informal ambiance of a beachside villa.

The PELORUS yacht is a highly private yacht, and very little information is known about her interior or other particular details from aboard.

The PELORUS yacht has many amenities including two helicopter landing pads, a swimming pool with artificial current, a spa pool, and an owner’s suite with 180-degree panoramic views that open to a private deck.

She is built with stunning engineering technology and features high-caliber systems, including the bowthruster, being provided with a backup.

At the same time, the control of all propulsion units is centralized in a ‘Lipstick’ that allows the yacht to be maneuvered accurately with a single joystick.

One of the most distinctive features of this luxurious mega yacht is the ‘lido’ on the top deck, which has two swimming pools and a vast sea-level platform that is created once the transom is opened.

image 29

This location gives good access to the water and an excellent ‘beach area’ where visitors may relax and enjoy the various water toys available.

Aside from that, the PELORUS superyacht includes two helicopter pads for the convenience of its owner and visitors.

Additionally, the superyacht is equipped with a spacious pool, a jacuzzi, a variety of toys, and a tender.

For sale - PELORUS seeking new direction.

Published 15 February 2023

The iconic  PELORUS is an apex superyacht of unquestionable pedigree. She is a 115m (377.3ft) motor yacht of 5,403GT, with a steel hull and aluminium superstructure custom-built to DNV-GL classification and delivered by Lurssen in 2003. She was designed by two of the world’s most celebrated yacht designers with sweeping exterior styling by Tim Heywood and beachside villa interiors by Terence Disdale.

The second helipad, seen lower right, was added during a Blohm+Voss refit in 2008

She was refitted by Blohm+Voss in 2008, when her second helipad was added, and again in 2017 during her class survey. She is now lying at Kusch in Wewelsfleth, Germany, undergoing routine class maintenance.

There are helipads on the foredeck and forward on the owner’s deck where a companionway leads to a private terrace.

The upper deck aft is all about entertainment

An elevator serves lower to sun decks for multi-generational access. The upper deck is designed for entertainment. A huge al fresco space aft has open-air dining and lounges beneath the overhang and plenty of versatile deck space aft, as well as walkaround sidedecks for promenading.

The upper deck sky lounge transforms into a nightclub

Inside is a panoramic sky lounge with a huge bar and generous lounge and huge screen. The space has nightclub lighting and sound systems and rug rolls away to reveal an illuminated dancefloor. Forward is a tiered cinema.

MIBS is organised by the ITE Group and it is one of Russia’s leading boat shows and is an internationally recognised superyacht event. The show covering everything from small parts and accessories to large superyacht with over 9,000 people and 178 exhibitors attended the last year show.

The Paolo Scanu-designed Sunrise 45 yacht is an ocean-going cruising yacht that was released in 2009 to much acclaim at this was the group’s first-ever model.

Sunrise Yachts was founded in 2007 by the German entrepreneur Herbert P Baum along with the French-British yacht builder Guillaume Roché. The luxury yacht group is based in Antalya, Turkey and utilises a 10,000sq m shipyard facility. Sunrise has two sheds measuring 100m (328ft) x 16m (53ft), as well as a 70m (230ft) x 16m (53ft) fully acclimatized paint shed that can accommodate new-build and refit projects up to 65m (213ft) in length and 1,200 tonnes displacement.

Along each side of the yacht-building facility, space is available for long-term sub-contractors with the latest equipment and logistics capabilities, along with air-conditioned storage, ventilation and extraction plants. The shipyard is organized as an “assembler,” based loosely on the car industry’s model, with a small, yet powerful project management team charged with running all the in-house long-term sub-contractors.

pelorus yacht current owner

115m Lürssen superyacht Pelorus for sale

The 115-metre Lürssen superyacht Pelorus is now for sale with Dominic Millman at Burgess.

Pelorus is a 5,403-gross-tonne motor yacht delivered in 2003 with three of the most distinguished names in yachting behind her design and build: Lürssen, Tim Heywood and Terence Disdale . DNV classed, she was the 11th largest yacht in the world and the flagship of the Lürssen fleet when she first hit the water. 

Her steel hull is based on the same lines as Carinthia VII , with a high forebody and reverse sheer sweeping down towards the stern, but Pelorus features an additional line that curves down towards the bow inspired by the "armour belt" on the HMS Belfast moored on the river Thames.

Terence Disdale created a relaxed but sophisticated interior using natural materials where possible for a beach club feel throughout the vessel. Accommodation is for 24 guests (with dispensation for a total of 36 guests) in 12 ensuite cabins, including a master suite that sits on the owner's deck. The space encompasses a private owner's study with a U-shaped desk and panoramic ocean views aft, and a round table with a lazy susan that seats eight.

The remaining accommodation is comprised of a VIP cabin, seven guest cabins (one of which is equipped with a fold-down terrace) and an additional three guest cabins. Guests are catered to by a crew of 46 with three additional staff cabins and a separate staff lounge. All guest areas and crew cabins are fitted with flatscreen televisions.

There are four pools on board Pelorus, the largest of which can be found on the sun deck next to a Jacuzzi flanked by sunpads. Elsewhere, owners can enjoy a steam room and plunge pool thanks to an onboard wellness centre.
