The 115-metre Lürssen superyacht Pelorus has rejoined the brokerage market under a joint central agency with Dominic Millman of Burgess, Alex Banning of SuperYachtsMonaco and Merle Wood of Merle Wood & Associates. Her re-entry to the market comes with a major €25,000,000 reduction to her sales listing.
Pelorus is a 5,403GT 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.
She has had three major refits since her delivery – including the addition of a second helipad in 2008 – with her third and most recent refit (which includes her special survey) due to complete in April this year.
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 comprises 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 sundeck next to a Jacuzzi flanked by sunpads. Elsewhere, owners can enjoy a steam room and plunge pool thanks to an onboard wellness centre.
Another highlight is the dedicated cinema room with sink-in sofas, Dolby Atmos sound and more than 120 4k films available at the touch of a button.
Pelorus carries seven tenders including an 11.2-metre limo and 8.5-metre sports tender (both by Vikal), a 10-metre X-tender RIB, two Pascoe RIBs, including a SOLAS RIB, a nine-metre Hinckley and a Zodiac. Her toybox is just as extensive with stowage for up to six jet skis and a full dive set-up.
Power comes from a pair of Wartsila Model 12V26 engines delivering a maximum speed of 20 knots and a range of 6,000 nautical miles at 16 knots. A quartet of Quantum zero-speed stabilisers – two aft and two forward – offer the ultimate guest comfort at anchor and underway.
Pelorus is now asking €160,000,000, currently lying in Cyprus.
