VAVA II Yacht – Glamorous $150 Million Superyacht

Built in the United Kingdom and delivered in 2012, VAVA II yacht is an impressive creation by Devonport. She is one of only 34 yachts in her size range.

VAVA II yacht interior

The interior of the VAVA II was designed by Rémi Tessier, a designer who favours simplicity and functionality.

Inside the yacht you can find a beauty salon, a gym, a beach club, an elevator, and to top it all off – air conditioning.

Not much is known about her interior, having mostly been seen by those fortunate enough to visit VAVA II.

There are not many pictures available, but if it’s anything like the gorgeous exterior, it’s surely a sight to behold.

Specifications

VAVA II yacht is 96 meters long (315 ft), has a beam of 17,3 meters (56,9 ft), and a 4,8 meter (15,9 ft) draft. She can reach a top speed of 19 knots, and a cruising speed of 15 knots.

The twin diesel MTU (16V 4000 M70) 2,333hp engines that power her, make it possible for her to reach those 19 knots.

She has a reach of more than 4500 nautical miles, and anchor stabilizers make VAVA II comfortable to be on. She has the capacity to keep up to 36 guests, and up to 34 crew.

The Vava II yacht has a steel hull and aluminum superstructure, and the exterior is designed by Redman Whiteley Dixon. She has four large tender garage aft and a pool with varying depth levels.

There are a total of six decks and is built like a small ship. A helicopter landing pad is also one of the many features of this yacht.

Her mostly white exterior shows off all the details in her designs, along with the sleek lines and impressive size.

Inspired by naval design, she has smooth curves and decks stacked neatly, with an overall balanced look.

Vava II: What makes the UK’s largest yacht an all-time great

• Superyachts

The largest yacht ever built at a British yard, Vava II features beautiful exterior styling that makes her look sleek and elegant despite her length...

Despite her status as the largest superyacht ever built at a British yard, Vava II’s owner-inspired exterior styling by Redman Whiteley Dixon is not only beautiful but makes the yacht look balanced and sleek.

She’s mainly a yacht of straight lines – the plumb bow, the angle of the superstructure and transom aft to the water, the vertical windows forward – but the sudden kinks of the top deck are a devilish touch.

The interior is by Rémi Tessier. The yacht, refitted at Amels in 2015, has been a regular in cruising hotspots around the world – and she spent the summer of 2016 cruising the Mediterranean.

“Conceived as a ‘world travelling yacht’, Vava II has exceeded expectations in her extended travels to remote locations and such geographically diverse places as the Indian Ocean islands, Indonesia, Alaska, Polynesia, Patagonia and Antarctica, travelling more than 100,000 nautical miles in a little over four years since delivery,” says Captain Richard Bridge.

“The helicopter deck has been used extensively for the embarked Eurocopter AS350B3 for a mix of transfers, sightseeing, heli-skiing and fishing trips, as well as numerous scientific missions. It will shortly be strengthened to be able to operate the larger twin-engined EC 145 T2.

“The main-deck salon with its glass sliding wall opening to become a part of the main-deck aft pool area has proved extremely popular and gives an option of opening the whole indoor/outdoor area for events and parties.

“Another area that has been used extensively is the expansive beach club – adding a large additional deck space, as well as a platform from which to operate the selection of tenders on board.

“The tender garages themselves have doubled as logistics platforms when operating in remote areas such as the Antarctic peninsula and during scientific missions in the Indian Ocean.”

Where is she now? Cruising privately.

"One of the most important elements for us at RWD is the personal relationships that we forge with our clients. It is also critical to us to ensure that designing and creating with that RWD partnership is a very, very enjoyable journey. So when visiting our unique studio, this might mean helicoptering in to stay in one of England's very best Country house spa hotels, the nearby Lime Wood, and perhaps enjoying riding in the New Forest, fly-fishing on one of the best chalk streams in the South, all things frankly which have nothing to do with yacht design, but add to the memories of the creation of that yacht. The more pleasurable we can make the whole design experience, the more valuable the journey is." - British superyacht designers Redman Whiteley Dixon.

Vava II—More like va-va-voom !  Britain’s Largest Yacht Shocks and Awes

Constructed by Devonport, just prior to its acquisition by Pendennis, this superyacht quite literally made waves as she launched in 2012 as the last vessel by the British shipyard—and the largest. Vava II is full of surprising and impressive capabilities. Her owner is a skilled Swiss-Italian sailor and founder of a professional yacht racing team, winning America’s Cup in 2003.

Spotted in Keppel Bay, Singapore, the six-deck yacht shows off her exterior design, brought to life by RWD.  Vava II is as long as she is luxurious.  At 96 meters, her structure is reminiscent of naval design, with smooth exterior curves and neatly stacked decks, centered for an enthralling balance.

Vava II in NY

Her interior, crafted by French designer Rémi Tessier , is mysterious.  There are limited visuals available of the alluring interior design, making Vava II all the more enigmatic.  Whatever artistry Tessier implemented on the superyacht is really only known to those lucky enough to be invited on board.

What is known, however, is that Vava II does not short her guests on accommodations .  The superyacht is capable of supporting a crew of 34 members, four tenders, a massive swimming pool, and a helicopter pad.

13 Besatzungsmitglieder festgenommen

Flammeninferno auf griechischer insel - dank feuerwerk von superyacht für deppen-touristen.

Der Nachthimmel leuchtet feuerrot!

Zur Unterhaltung der Gäste auf einer Superyacht entzündete die Besatzung ein Feuerwerk - in unmittelbarer Nähe der Insel Hydra. Der einzige Pinienwald des griechischen Eilands ging daraufhin lichterloh in Flammen auf. Die Empörung ist groß: „Sperrt sie ein!”, forderten am Sonntag die Nutzer in griechischen sozialen Medien und „Brandstiftung muss noch viel härter bestraft werden!”

Extreme Brandgefahr in Griechenland

Die griechischen Behörden haben 13 Besatzungsmitglieder einer Yacht als mutmaßliche Brandstifter festgenommen. Trotz ständiger Warnungen vor extremer Brandgefahr sollen sie in der Nacht zum Samstag vor der Küste der beliebten Ferieninsel Hydra ein Feuerwerk entzündet haben, um die Passagiere zu amüsieren. Die Funken setzten den einzigen Pinienwald der Insel in Brand. Die Verursacher hätten noch versucht, die ersten Flammen zu löschen, dann aber die Feuerwehr gerufen und sich davongemacht.

Lese-Tipp: „Diese Hitzewelle wird in die Geschichte eingehen” - Wetter-Wahnsinn da, wo wir Urlaub machen

Vorbeifahrende Boote hätten den Vorfall beobachtet und den Behörden gemeldet, berichteten griechische Medien unter Berufung auf die Küstenwache. Als die knapp 55 Meter lange Yacht Persefoni dann am Samstagnachmittag im Athener Küstenvorort Vouliagmeni anlegte, wurden 13 Besatzungsmitglieder festgenommen und das Boot festgesetzt und durchsucht. An Bord sollen Medienberichten zufolge 17 Touristen aus Kasachstan gewesen sein. Die Festgenommenen sollten der Justiz vorgeführt werden, teilte die Feuerwehr mit.

Der Bürgermeister der Insel war in einem Fernsehinterview außer sich über den Vorfall. Unabhängig von den zentralen Behörden werde auch die Inselgemeinde selbst die Betreffenden anzeigen, sagte er. Unterdessen konnte die Feuerwehr unter Einsatz von Hubschraubern den Brand am späten Samstagabend unter Kontrolle bekommen.

Lese-Tipp: Im Griechenland-Urlaub verschwunden - Michael Mosleys Witwe würdigt „wundervollen und brillanten“ Ehemann

Die Entrüstung ist vor allem deshalb groß, weil es in der vergangenen Woche bei starkem Wind vielerorts in Griechenland zu Wald- und Buschbränden kam. Ständig warnen die Behörden, nicht mit Feuer und Funken zu hantieren, nicht im Freien zu grillen oder gar mit Werkzeugen zu schweißen oder zu flexen. Umso mehr erschüttert ein Foto in griechischen Medien, das die Luxusyacht auf dem dunklen Meer vor dem brennenden Wald zeigt.

Hohe Waldbrandgefahr dank Hitzewelle

Die Strafen für absichtliche oder fahrlässige Brandstiftung wurden in Griechenland vergangenes Jahr stark erhöht. Neben Geldbußen im fünfstelligen Bereich können nun selbst bei fahrlässiger Brandstiftung Haftstrafen von bis zu zehn Jahren verhängt werden. Die Täter zu erwischen, ist allerdings schwierig und gelingt selten. Glück hatten die Ermittler bei einem Brand, der am vergangenen Mittwoch östlich von Athen ausgebrochen war: Sicherheitskameras angrenzender Grundstücke zeichneten einen Mann dabei auf, wie er das Feuer legte und dann davonrannte.

Die Waldbrandgefahr bleibt in mehreren Regionen Mittelgriechenlands das ganze Wochenende über hoch, teilte der griechische Zivilschutz mit. Wie ein Sprecher der Feuerwehr am Sonntagmorgen mitteilte, sind die meisten Brände jedoch unter Kontrolle gebracht worden. (dpa/lha)
