ON BOARD

Slipway to

heaven

The old ways are still the best

when it comes to splashing

the latest Lürssen

From float-outs to crane-ins, the methods

of launching a yacht have evolved over

time, becoming more graceful but less

dramatic. So when Lürssen launched its

new 95m Project Fiji via the traditional

slipway technique, it certainly made a big

impression. The finished yacht, sold by

Moran Yacht & Ship to a repeat client from

North America, will make an even bigger

impression when it is delivered in 2019,

with its 12m swimming pool, foredeck

helipad, integrated fireplace and walk-

on upper deck skylight. British studio

Harrison Eidsgaard penned the muscular

exterior, while Laura Sessa Design is

developing a “contemporary” interior that

will sleep up to 20 guests in 10 lavish cabins.
