Abeking & Rasmussen 81.8mt Dartwo

German yacht builder Abeking & Rasmussen has launched its 81.8-metre superyacht Dartwo.

Dartwo is the sistership to Kibo, the new Abeking & Rasmussen 81.8m superyacht launched in 2014. With interior and exterior by renowned yacht designer Terence Disdale, Kibo makes a mark for her deliberate lack of sensational design features, even forgoing the spa tub. “A yacht should have more in common with a beach house than a penthouse”, Disdale said in the October 2014. 

The steel-and-aluminium superyacht has been kept under a cloak of secrecy. Dartwo also features exterior design by Disdale, but it is unconfirmed whether he has also styled the interior and to such a simplistically elegant degree as her sistership. Like her sister, superyacht Dartwo has a gross tonnage of 2,300GRT and naval architecture by Abeking & Rasmussen.

While the builder has four yachts on the Global Order Book 2015, Dartwo is the only yacht planned to be launched by Abeking & Rasmussen this year. Project 6499, a 72 metre steel and aluminium yacht, is slated for delivery in 2016, as is the smaller project 6500 – a SWATH yacht that is also built in steel and aluminium and clocks in at 25 metres. The future Abeking & Rasmussen flagship, 98 metre hull No 6501, is slated for delivery in 2017.

At the Monaco Yacht Show, March & White debuted a new superyacht design for Abeking & Rasmussen. Designed in collaboration with the German builder, the 60 metre concept was playfully called Top Gun and featured two different bow options.

Abeking & Rasmussen 81.8mt Kibo

Abeking & Rasmussen has launched its latest creation, a new 81.8mt superyacht that currently has the project number 6497.

At present we have very few details other than her project name, overall length, and the fact that she is the second-largest yacht ever built by the German yard. We believe she is due to be delivered in June of this year, and that she will go under the name of Kibo. She is said to have a GRT of 2350.

Below is a statement from Abeking & Rasmussen on their latest launch:

“Abeking & Rasmussen are delighted to announce the launch of hull number 6497. The 81.8mt motor yacht, with exterior and interior design by multi-award winning Terence Disdale Design, was successfully launched to the water Sunday afternoon, on March 9th, 2014. The project, managed by Y.CO. , will be completed in June 2014, when the motor yacht will be delivered.”
