Luxury motor yacht SHERAKHAN is one of the most impressive superyachts available for charter. A major refit of her interiors was completed in 2017.
Superyacht SHERAKHAN’S luxury interior décor and layout works very well to give a feeling of grandeur and comfort. The added extras such as the glass bottom Spa Pool , 8 meter inflatable slide and the themed cabins make this yacht one of the very best available for charter. Superyacht Sherakhan is available in the Caribbean and Mediterranean Seas and also cruises further afield offering some once in a life time adventure charters. SHERAKHAN is presently seriously considering cruising to Patagonia for the Antarctic winter.
In 2014 Sherakhan underwent a refit at ICON Yachts and again in 2017.
M/Y SHERAKHAN is the culmination of a dream for her owner. Whether it be the luxury dining room for 26 guests with its massive 7m Atrium, bathed in natural light filtered down through the glass bottomed Spa Pool. (Seating 18) or the Joy of standing in the lookout house perched above the sundeck a massive 20m above the water line. Suites range from 30-50 square meters and are impressive for their decor, style and of course sheer size.
A note by the designer…
Once you set foot on the gangway, you will be surprised by the beautiful details, the enormous deck areas, astonishing woodwork and the incredible choice of outside furniture! We are sure you have never experienced a view as marvelous as the one from the look-out house. The Spa Pool is very big (18 people)and of course we have a complete B.B.Q. area
When you finally come inside, you will be surprised by the beam of the yacht. The main saloon is about 20 meters long and 9 meters wide. The style is cozy and, what we think is the most important, homely. Every single guest on MY Sherakhan must immediately have the feeling that this is their home and can relax the way they want!
The main saloon is visually divided into two areas; On one side we find the dining area; with a beautiful table, where 26 people can be seated. On both sides of the dining table there are 2 impressive stairs which will lead you to the owner’s deck. When you sit at the dining table and look up, you will be impressed by the atrium. You can look completely to the roof of the yacht where the Spa Pool with glass bottom is situated. The enormous chandelier is of course specially designed for this area of 7 meters of height.
The other side of the saloon is furnished to relax. Nice cozy couches, homely armchairs, enormous vases, a fireplace, a flat screen television, a bar where you can sit down to enjoy your drinks and of course a little podium with a white grand piano. Although the area is big, you will never have the chance to feel “lost”. From this area you have a nice view on the aft deck where the outside dining table is situated.
When you walk through this area and pass the dining table, you will enter the vestibule. Here you can choose to go down to the beauty salon and the suites on the accommodation deck or even go to the fitness-massage, sauna and Spa Pool on the lower deck. When you go straight on from the vestibule, you will first meet the ladies room on one side and on the other side the library. After passing a door, you will come to the corridor on which at either side 2 spacious suites are situated. All four of them have sizes like 38 square meters with an en-suite bathroom which have baths and showers as well. (The size of 38 m2 is only the suite; it does not include the bathroom!)
The suites:
Our feeling about a big yacht is that also the suites must be large! When guests want to have some privacy, not only during the night…, they must experience all the luxury of a 5 star accommodation and of course be surrounded by a nice furnished and decorated ambiance. All the double beds are king size. All suites are equipped with a television, DVD, stereo, mini bar, safe, air-conditioning/ heating, a vanity table/desk, a computer point, relaxing chairs, saloon table, a very spacious walk-in closet, bathroom with toilet, bidet, bath (Spa Pool), double basin and shower. On the art impression you have some idea of the style which will be fitted in these areas. The way the woodwork is done, is astonishing! Nice and with unexpected details…..
Accommodation deck:
On the accommodation deck, you will find 4 suites. The smallest will be 34 m2 and the biggest 37,3 m2. They will be fitted just like all the others. Of course there will be differences in colors and decorations, but not in luxury! You also will find a children’s themed cabin, (Only designed for children! So no access for people above the age of 13! Little people also have the right to have their own party…….) and a security cabin. These cabins are connected with the 2 suites next door, but can also be used completely separately.
The last area of importance on this deck is the beauty salon. The beauty salon is also fully equipped hair- and nail studio. So the guests can be pampered as much as they want!
Lower deck:
When you walk down the stairs, at the end of the corridor on the accommodation deck, you will enter a world of body pleasure! First take a drink at the bar to get used to the idea of exercise, then some fitness on the most modern equipment, followed by a well-deserved massage, going into the sauna to give your body the most precious rest and end up in the Spa Pool to cool down! What more can a person wish for…..?
Apart from all the equipment available here, the area in which this is situated is a feast for the eyes. Because of its location, completely in the front of the ship, below decks, the area is built like an American loft. Something like this hasn’t been shown before, fantastic mosaics will amaze you.
Owners deck:
We leave this deck and follow our “tour” to the saloon on the owners deck. The one you can reach from the vestibule on the main deck or with the stairs besides the dining table. When you come by the 2 enormous stairs, your attention will be attracted by the spectacular view down on the dining table. There is a vacant space of 6 meters long and 3 meters wide! In this way, the areas are not completely separated but in a creative way connected with each other. The saloon is further furnished with exclusive and comfortable chairs, a bar with an integrated piano and a dance floor for the people who cannot control their feet! During the day time, this area will be quite popular! It is great for reading and relaxing when the sun is too hot or having a drink or playing some chess. During the night this saloon will be perfect for having swinging cocktails before dinner. In the meantime the crew can set a wonderful decorated table and the guests will be surprised when they walk down the stairs to enjoy their dinner!
Besides the saloon, this deck contains 2 suites of 31 m2 and 1 Master Cabin of almost 51 m2! This deck is completely outfitted for the owner with a huge study. Like the name reveals, this will be a Masterpiece! Located completely in the front of the ship, with an amazing view over the sea, this cabin has even its own terrace! The major Spa Pool will be in the middle of the room, apart from the bathroom. The special effect of this cabin must be seen to be believed!
The outer deck on the owners deck will have comfortable chairs, footstools and even table lamps for the people who want be outside at night and enjoy a good book or just want to sit in silence and enjoy the stars……… On every outer deck there will be music, when wanted.
Wheelhouse-deck:
The last deck is the wheelhouse deck. You can reach this deck from the corridor on the owners deck or from outside. On this deck the wheelhouse is situated, but the most important of all……..the Spa Pool, loads of deck chairs, a bar, a B.B.Q. area, shade for the burnt ones and of course the look-out house!!!! Between the 2 funnels, we created a real look-out house. Once you are up there, you will be taken by surprise!!! The height of this location will be 20 meters above the waterline, so you can easily imagine what sort of view you can have up there! A 360° view for the star watchers; this is the ultimate spot…
In 2014 ICON Yachts were commissioned to refit the impressive 1945 Gross Tonnage luxury mega yacht Sherakhan. She received a new exterior paint system , new boilers and two new generators. During her brief visit to the ICON yard she underwent a thorough systems service and maintenance campaign. The project was managed by Verkerk Yachting Projects.
Yacht Charter Accommodation:
Luxury motor yacht SHERKHAN provides superior accommodation for up to 26 yacht charter guests in 9 double and 4 twin cabins: The Master cabin boasts a Spa Pool, private terrace and a lounge area/study. The owners study / lounge can also convert into an independent double with its own en suite. There is One further double on the owners deck and Eight further equal sized cabins 4 doubles and four twins (two convert to doubles) convertibles plus two smaller cabins with bunked twins that each link to a double – suitable for children, nannies or staff.

Polaris: The 70m Rossinavi flagship designed for long-haul comfort
Related articles, superyacht directory.
The owner of 70-metre Rossinavi Polaris wanted to go far – with plenty on board to entertain and delight along the way. BOAT discovers how to equip a yacht for long-haul comfort, outside and in.
In the first month after she was delivered, the 70-metre Rossinavi flagship Polaris had already travelled more than 3,000 nautical miles. It’s a distance that’s nearly as vast as an Atlantic crossing, but it’s small change compared to how the owner plans to use his new yacht. Polaris will visit the usual Med and Caribbean hotspots, but she will also journey to the ends of the earth. When dreaming up his new yacht, the owner had his sights set on cruising the icy climes of the Arctic and Antarctica, and it was this mission that shaped the entirety of Polaris , from her ice-classed hull to her diesel-electric propulsion and her inviting interior, chock-full of amenities to enjoy while far from land.
“The owner’s dream was for a long-range superyacht that could comfortably cruise the world,” says Enrico Gobbi of Team for Design , who penned her exterior and interior. Having worked with Rossinavi, Arrabito Naval Architects and Team for Design on his previous yacht, the 48-metre Polaris I (now Parillion), the owner already had his Italian dream team in place for his new creation. Between yacht builds, Gobbi had also designed the owner’s holiday residence ashore, all of which gave the designer a firm footing for understanding his client’s style preferences.

Polaris meets the requirements of Class II of the Finnish-Swedish Ice Class rules. “This includes some upgrades compared to a normal boat: there is a reinforcement of the first forward quarter of the hull and there are reinforcements in the structural part of the pods and propellers,” says Federico Rossi, Rossinavi’s COO. The shape and volume of the sea chests are also specifically designed for navigation in icy waters, with two different de-icing systems, including hot water from the engines that can be sent to the sea chests. “We have not had substantial difficulties as she is Ice Class compliant and not a pure icebreaker – and this drastically changes the construction techniques,” he says. While Polaris is the first ice-classed Rossinavi yacht, she will not be the last; the yard already has others under construction.
The exterior design was influenced by her explorer capabilities. “Mainly the height of the hull and the bow, which had to have certain characteristics in order to navigate in all conditions,” says Gobbi. “A tall and long bow was not only a technical requirement, but also a necessary aesthetic feature to balance the proportions of the yacht.” The straight, tall bulwarks form a splash guard edge to ensure dry decks even in adverse cruising conditions.
The owner briefed a yacht with a slender silhouette and eye-catching exterior lines. “The superstructure needed to have a dynamic appeal, flowing decks and unique identifying features. When drawing her profile we imagined her anchored in the bay, showing off the harmonic connection of all decks and the sleek outlines of the superstructure,” says Gobbi. Team for Design created a harmonious exterior that, upon closer inspection, is composed of sharp angles that catch the light and add interest. Best appreciated in profile, the edges of the superstructure are slanted so there is a continuous line at a 45-degree angle that draws the eye from the bridge deck down to the main deck. The owner also specifically requested a stern design that would be recognisable in a marina without being too pretentious, so the aft ends of each deck overhang slightly. These overhangs are painted grey to match the radar arch and transom. “This is an identifying feature of Polaris and it helps to create a dynamic stern view,” says Gobbi. He notes that it’s also functional, with each overhang forming part of the ceiling for the exterior deck spaces below and hiding lighting that illuminates the boat at night.

Due to Covid-19 restrictions, the owner didn’t get to visit the yard often during the build and only saw the yacht once before she was launched. When he finally saw Polaris on the water, he was “stunned by the dimensions”, says Gobbi. “I don’t think he actually managed to appreciate her length and overall size until he saw her on water.” Besides stepping up by more than 20 metres in length, the new yacht has more than triple the volume, from 499GT to 1,542GT. This meant plenty of space for the facilities, starting with the gym and spa, which hold pride of place on the main deck.
“The spa and wellness centre is actually the space from which the interior project started,” says Gobbi. “It’s a space the owner uses frequently and wanted it to be located in a privileged area of the yacht with panoramic views.” The gym/yoga room features a huge opening terrace to port, complemented by a hammam, massage room and full bathroom to starboard. The wellness area is decorated with fabric walls, marble and glass mosaics.
The interior design for Polaris was brought to life slowly, after many meetings and yacht viewings between owner and designer. The owner desired a timeless interior, neither too modern nor too classic. It should be cosy and inviting to contrast the icy climes that might be found outside when navigating polar environments. “The interior motif had to convey an atmosphere of warmth and comfort to the owner and his guests the moment they step inside,” says Gobbi. The colour scheme is understated, with grey and white soft goods and glossy dark wood furniture. Pops of colour are more whispers, with a pale green accenting glass lamps or artworks throughout.
Timeless, however, doesn’t have to mean bland. The interior is characterised by art deco-inspired furnishings, and there’s more than a touch of glamour in the many crystal chandeliers and reflective surfaces. The owner also requested a “maximum level” of customisation, says Gobbi. Almost everything had to be unique and bespoke for this yacht. Most of the furniture is custom designed by Gobbi’s team, accompanied by contemporary loose furniture, decorative lighting and fabrics sourced from top Italian and international brands. Among these are Armani/Casa, Baker, Donghia, Rubelli, Porta Romana, Schonbek and Preciosa for the custom lighting, while pieces from Paola Lenti, Summit, Jim Thompson, Hermès, Mariaflora and Ralph Lauren are found on the exterior living spaces.
“One of the main requests he had for the interiors was to have a ‘wow point’ on each deck designed to impress the guests, such as a feature wall, a chandelier or an artwork,” says Gobbi. In the main saloon, this translates to a waterfall flowing down over a wall of backlit onyx on the forward bulkhead. A round sofa in the aft lobby of the saloon welcomes guests, and glass doors to port and starboard of the main sitting area can open to let a breeze flow through. But it’s the waterfall that is the undisputed focal point. It is flanked by curved walls in vertical strips of crystal, which Gobbi says were inspired by the Baccarat Hotel in Manhattan. “The intent was to create a double ‘wow point’ here in the saloon, with the central waterfall and the crystal wings,” says Gobbi. The saloon itself is free of televisions, but duck around the corner of the crystal wall and you’ll find a cocoon-like cinema space. This takes the place of a formal main deck dining area, which was of no interest to the owner. The cinema features soundproofed walls and the latest audiovisual technology.
The stairwell forward also adheres to the owner’s wow-factor brief. An impressive vertical chandelier made of different-sized crystal rings rises from the lower deck lobby to the upper deck, creating a waterfall-of-light effect. Light from the chandelier also reflects beautifully off the wood-and-resin backlit walls of the staircase. Another focal point is the forward wall of the owner’s deck lounge. Here, Gobbi aligned thin slabs of backlit onyx in a wave formation, which also works practically as a curtain to separate the lounge from the wine rack found on the forward bulkhead.
“This is my favourite space on board because it has a very elegant design and a lovely panoramic view,” says Gobbi of the lounge. “I very much like the curved front wall in onyx with its soft lighting effect, the chandelier made of crystal cylinders hanging from the ceiling, and the overall warm atmosphere.”
As the owner plans to spend a good deal of time on board, it made sense to give him a dedicated deck, to which this lounge is the entry point. Forward of the wine rack is a VIP suite to starboard – which can be used by the owner or assigned to a guest – and a full-beam owner’s suite with a walk-in-wardrobe, dual en suite bathrooms and a forward-facing bedroom. “The owner wanted a panoramic suite, with his private front balcony and the bed placed right at the centre of the room looking outward. He liked the idea of being able to follow the yacht in navigation directly from his bed,” says Gobbi.
The private forward terrace has two chairs of woven fabric, a small table and chaise longues, all that’s needed for the owner to sit and enjoy the expansive views ahead. Another water feature is found here – a waterfall runs down the full length of the forward bulwark and has a lighting effect that makes it especially vibrant at night. Aft on the owner’s deck is a huge round table with seating for 12, which speaks to the owner’s plans to entertain guests. “My favourite element on board is the entire owner’s deck,” says Rossi. “In boats of this size it is really a plus to have an owner’s cabin with a front view and private balcony.”
But comfortable living during long-range cruising extends beyond the yacht’s amenities. A focus of the brief was for excellent seakeeping and silent navigation. “We are extremely proud of the comfort on board and the silence. Our Zero Noise technology in this boat has expressed itself to its maximum potential and after being personally on board cruising I can say that the boat is really extremely silent and pleasant [while underway],” says Rossi.
Delivered in 2014, the original Polaris is a semi-planing yacht that was specced to reach speeds in excess of 24 knots, but for the next Polaris , the owner was more interested in endurance. “It was a totally different concept: he wanted a full-displacement yacht that could reach anywhere in the world,” says Giuseppe Arrabito of Arrabito Naval Architects, who created both Polaris yachts. “The hull is equipped with a bulb resulting from an iterative process of CFD optimisation aimed at reducing resistance and damping the pitching motions of the oncoming sea.” CFD calculations, together with tank tests of the Kongsberg Azipull propulsion, were also carried out to improve performance. The owner was enthusiastic about Arrabito’s suggestion for the new yacht to have full diesel-electric propulsion with the Azipull system. The system operates with variable-speed generators, so that the fuel efficiency is optimised in all sea conditions.
Yet the new Polaris is no slouch either; she was contracted to reach at least 17 knots and goes one better, hitting a top speed of 18 knots while cruising at 15 knots. And her range is more than 6,500 nautical miles at a reduced speed of 12 knots. This should give the owner plenty of scope to meet his world-girdling goals.
