The Great Gatsby of Yachting
With one of the boldest names on the market, M/Y Madsummer is a masterclass in standing out from the crowd with equal measures style and grace (not to mention a pinch of five-star fun). This is a yacht bursting at the seams with creativity, and indeed, she isn’t a boat that whispers but rather screams with joyous abandon. She is a celebration of ocean-bound adventures, red hot American summers, and the sweet hedonism of a life well-lived.
Only Lurssen could take on a task like this, and indeed Peter Lurssen himself comments that “The owner’s brief was demanding; however, we believe our engineering expertise has surpassed his wishes to own a yacht that many years from now will be timeless and yet still ahead of its time.”
When a Plane Becomes a Yacht
From the outside, M/Y Madsummer stands strong at 95m, offering more than ample room for her 20 guests across 9 cabins, not to mention her 23 crew. The clue is all in the name; while this is a yacht for intimate encounters – it moonlights as a vessel that encapsulates all the grand revelry of The Great Gatsby. Notoriously her owner came into the office to meet with designer Peter Eidsgaard regarding a plane; but when he found out Eidsgaard also etched out beautiful boats the entire narrative flipped, and before he knew it, he had won the contract to create the majesty of Madsummer alongside Lurssen and Laura Sessa Romboli who is responsible for the eye-popping interiors.
18 months of work, 34 different floor plans, and a project that grew by 10 meters. But M/Y Madsummer still managed to be delivered earlier than expected – all without compromising an inch on the glorious detail and decadence of her style. Statistically wise, M/Y Madsummer has the specs – a top speed of 18 knots, a steel hull and aluminum structure, stabilizers at anchor, and a range of 6000nm. She also comes with an impressive range of features including; helipad, cinema room, spa, beach club, playroom, dance floor, multiple jacuzzi’s, swimming pool, and a well-stocked tender garage.
