Unveiling The Revamped Icon

Every year, the yachting elite gather in the gleaming bay of Monaco to witness the launch of world-class vessels. This year, however, promises to be different – all thanks to the newly refitted 97m masterpiece, CARINTHIA VII.

Lürssen and Fraser, two monoliths in luxury yachting, will proudly present this stunning vessel at the 2023 Monaco Yacht Show. Originally built in 2002, CARINTHIA VII has undergone an extensive refit at Lürssen's state-of-the-art Hamburg facilities, bringing her back to the limelight.

The yacht's exterior now boasts redesigned decks with spacious lounging and living areas, exuding luxury at every corner. The added 12m/39' pool and adjacent fitness room will be a magnet for the show's attendees.

In the illustrious world of superyachts, novelty, and innovation are the new norms. The newly unveiled Baltic 111 Raven, a product of the highly reputed Baltic Yachts, captures this spirit with audacity. Set for launch from the shores of Jakobstad, Finland, the Raven signifies an evolution in luxury sailing, seamlessly blending weight control, luxury, and high-speed voyaging into one package.

The Baltic 111 Raven, designed as an ultra-lightweight, foil-assisted superyacht, challenges conventional categorization, soaring into a league of her own. Her primary function will be day sailing, but she can also undertake high-speed, long-distance passages. The blend of design, structure, and purpose gives this extraordinary yacht a unique appeal akin to a high-end supercar, according to her experienced owner's project manager, Garth Brewer of A2B Marine Projects.
