The Superyacht Cup usually takes place in Antigua, the Caribbeans. Another mention: This article may sound like a copy because it was inspired by what appeared on the various brokers’ websites. I tried to cut off some of the superlatives, but eliminating all would leave me without the article.
Marie – The Steinway baby grand piano
This instantly recognizable ketch was built in the Netherlands by Vitters Shipyard, in 2010. They used an André Hoek design. Her masts were planned to carry a huge 3,300 square meters (33,500 sqft) area of sail, which can propel the yacht to 17 knots. Her entire structure has been designed for smooth sailing, with a bulged keel lending both swiftness and stability to her hull, which has been shaped and honed using the latest testing technology.

I already mentioned that Superyacht Marie has a light, comfortable and welcoming open-plan interior with traditional features including miniature cannons, muskets and a suit of armor, recalling the Golden Age of exploration of the high seas. [High kitsch if you ask me.]
Marie – The oval table for a formal dining
A split-level saloon gives the first glimpse of the high gloss Anigré wood finish that lends the interior its pale, golden ambiance, illuminated by large skylights that filter the natural light throughout the whole yacht and highlight her timeless style. On deck, we find a relaxed bar and seating area, while a more formal setting below deck, features the already mentioned Steinway baby grand piano and an oval dining table.

Superyacht Marie is for sale and it will be on show at Monaco Yacht Festival at the end of September 2018. The asking price is € 23,300,000 (approx. $ 27,021,000). Not cheap at all, and the claim on Monaco show’s website is that they considerably reduced the price showing the owner’s desire for a quick sale. It won’t be that quick with this money, the financially healthy potential owner can afford to build a new one with the same price. But the advantage to buy Marie is that she is ready to go, isn’t it? You don’t have to wait for a newer one to be built…
