If the Art Deco-inspired interior doesn’t get your attention, maybe the Key West meeting room will. Those are among the highlights of the 68-meter (223-foot) superyacht Lady Christine, which Feadship’s Royal Van Lent recently delivered.
From the split-level owner’s deck to the infinity pool on the main deck aft, she has some superb touches. Her owners knew what worked well on their previous yacht and what they wanted to do different. There’s a private cinema on the same level as the four guest staterooms, for example. Particularly striking, intricate marquetry and inlays echo the owners’ favorite places around the world. In fact, it’s most notable at the main entry and its spiral staircase, plus the lobby of the bridge deck. In their suite, the owners enjoy a full-beam observation lounge one level above their stateroom and his-and-her offices/studies. They also have a private gym at their disposal.
Something I look forward to seeing when the yacht makes her debut at the Monaco Yacht Show: slide-back, full-height windows in the dining room, further accompanied by slide-out balconies on both sides. The balconies make Lady Christine’s already ample beam broaden, from 12.5 meters to 15 meters (41 to 49 feet, respectively).
Lady Christine’s dramatic profile, with “fish-eye” windows aft and some faux windows forward to keep the dark swatch going, comes courtesy of De Voogt Naval Architects. The spin on the Art Deco interior is from Rodney Black Design Studios, an award-winning firm that previously focused on interiors, architecture, and landscapes of fine homes. This is its first yacht project.
