Apoise isn’t the only megayacht on the auction block: a 100-foot schooner is open for bidding right now.
Super Yacht Auction, a company created within the past few months, is offering the yacht, which also marks its first auction. (Super Yacht Auction is additionally a division of Vessel Auction, which holds online and public auctions of various boats, ships, and yachts.) Bloemsa & van Breemen and Hoek Design are among the companies that contributed to work on the megayacht. The illustration here gives you an idea of what she was intended to look like.
Super Yacht Auction states that the project spans ten years, from original concept to the beginning of construction. The owner’s idea was to build a classic aluminum sailing yacht for charter, with an ice-class hull. While the hull was built in 1997 and the superstructure followed thereafter, medical problems affecting “key project staff,” according to the auctioneers, caused construction to cease. The schooner’s layout includes three guest staterooms plus the owner’s stateroom, which includes a walk-in closet. There’s also a skylight over the main saloon and both inside and outside steering stations. Four crew cabins, a workshop, and a laundry area are additionally featured. Some work has already been completed on teak-laid decks, the engine room, and other spaces. (Photos showing the degree of completion are posted on Super Yacht Auction’s site.)
Reportedly more than €2.2 million has been spent on the project so far. Super Yacht Auction anticipates the schooner fetching €800,000 to €1 million (approximately $1.094 million to $1.367 million).
If you’re interested, you can personally inspect the yacht next Saturday, February 20, at Port Camargue, France. Appointments are necessary, so e-mail Super Yacht Auction to register, with your name, address, passport number, phone number, and email address. On the inspection day, you’ll be required to provide valid identification documentation; further details are available from Super Yacht Auction. Bidding remains open through March 1. Note that bids are irrevocable and unconditional, and that the yacht is to be sold as-is.
