Lurssen Skat Overview
This Espen Oeino-designed yacht caused a lot of criticism when it was first launched in 2002. The angular shapes and glazed openings on the upper deck gave her the resemblance of a warship. She can offer guests a high and refined comfort, and can reach 17 knots, thanks to two 2,717 horsepower MTU engines. The interior design by Marco Zanini is innovative and modern. At the request of Charles Simoni, an American of Romanian origin, the garage, where the motorcycles are parked, was equipped with an elevator that goes up to the main deck. Simoni created the famous Word and Excel programs that have been the key to his success and prosperity. He is also the first tourist to have been in space twice. The record has clearly cost him a pretty penny, since each private spaceflight costs $25 million.
