Lürssen's 122m superyacht Kismet delivered

The 122-metre Lürssen superyacht Kismet has been delivered following successful sea trials off the coast of Kiel, Germany. According to BOATPro , her final destination is Troon, Scotland.

Previously known as Project Jag, Kismet was commissioned by repeat Lürssen client Shahid Khan, who previously owned the 95.2-metre Lürssen yacht Whisper (formerly Kismet ) . His new yacht reunites him with Reymond Langton Design for the interior, but the exteriors on the new build have been helmed by Nuvolari Lenard .

The delivery news follows the reveal of Kismet 's computer-rendered interiors by her central agency for charter, Cecil Wright . Kismet charters for €3,000,000 per week plus expenses.

Interiors have been described as a "beautiful, bespoke homage to the owner’s lifestyle" by the yard. The renderings show a dramatic theme, with an elaborate staircase that appears to have the same video walls as the original Kismet .  Fireplaces, floor-to-ceiling glass and intricate paint and marble detailing also feature throughout. 

Speaking about her entrance on the charter market, Chris Cecil-Wright said: "Having sold the previous Kismet in September last year, we are delighted to be able to continue our relationship with her owner as the central agent for charter for his stunning new vessel."

The charter yacht features accommodation for 12 guests in up to nine cabins. The crew quarters, meanwhile, will accommodate a staff of 40. Other key details include a beam of 17.8 metres, creating "extraordinary volumes" and "sleek and elegant lines", according to the yard.

Standout features include a helipad, beauty salon, spa, sauna, swimming pool, indoor and outdoor cinema, dance floor, gym and elevator. There will also be ample room for a selection of tenders and toys including a sailing dinghy, Sea Bobs, sea scooters and windsurfers.

Kismet was sold by Moran Yacht & Ship in 2019, with the brokerage also managing the build throughout construction, including writing the technical specifications and negotiating the interior costs.

According to BOATPro , Lürssen has 12 yachts currently in build or on order. This includes the 107-metre explorer Project Icecap which, once delivered, will rank in the top 30 Lürssen yachts by size. Kismet first hit the water on August 11 at Rendsburg, following the drydock flooding on 10 August.

Why the Kiel Canal, shortcut to the Baltic, is a fascinating mini cruise all of its own

• isobel-smith
• January 30, 2015

The Kiel Canal can be a fascinating voyage in a yacht, as Detlef Jens reports

More than once I’ve sworn never to cruise through the Kiel Canal again, always after a seemingly endless stretch negotiated in foul weather or in an underpowered yacht. But when the weather plays ball and if time is on your side, a passage through the Kiel Canal can be one of the most interesting parts of a voyage to or from the Baltic.

Moored in front of the Gieselau-side lock gates or at anchor in the idyllic lake of Flemhude before Kiel, it is hard to believe the Kiel Canal – aka the North Sea-Baltic-Canal or Nord-Ostsee-Kanal (NOK) in German – is the world’s busiest shipping route. In total some 43,000 ships and around 20,000 or so private yachts go through the canal every year.

The idea for a canal to link the North and Baltic Seas came up in the Danish-German war of 1864. Otto von Bismarck recognised that a waterway would allow German ships to slip between seas undisturbed by Danish cannons. However, his contemporaries were not quite so visionary and planning did not begin in earnest until 1878, when Emperor Wilhelm I finally approved a vast budget of 156 million Goldmark. Just as impressive is that the huge project came in within budget.

In the end, it was Wilhelm II who finally opened the Kaiser-Wilhelm-Kanal, as it was then called, in 1895. The second Wilhelm (half-English, incidentally) was partial to his racing yachts, so the canal was useful for more than warships. It helped establish Kiel Week, also founded by Wilhelm II, by considerably improving access to the Baltic for international yachts.

Indeed, the Kiel Canal has always been a door to the east for foreign sailors. Frank Mulville transited with his family on Transcur in 1967. As he writes in his book Terschelling Sands : ‘We started motoring down the canal after a very expensive lunch at a restaurant near the jetty, keeping well into the side out of the way of the stream of ships. The banks of the canal soon became wooded and rural, with occasional vistas over the countryside of Schleswig-Holstein, which was a pleasant agricultural land – not unlike parts of Essex.

‘The volume and diversity of the shipping was extraordinary. The boys soon devised a game of guessing the nationality of passing ships and Patrick drew up a complicated scoring sheet. There were tankers and freighters from 20,000 tons downwards as well as small German, Dutch and Danish coasters. Sometimes we were unable to identify the ensigns even with the aid of the almanac – countries like Kathiri, Gabon, Dahomey and Chad defied identification.’

It can seem like nothing has changed. I have been through the canal many times, but the transits that linger in my mind are those slow passages made on hot summer days. Once or twice I have dropped anchor at a wider section and dived overboard to cool off in the peculiar, brackish water. Much of the canal is too narrow for this and sailing is not allowed, but you can motorsail if there is a good following breeze.

Given the canal’s length of just over 50 nautical miles, you can cover it in a long day of motoring; yachts are restricted to daylight hours only. But it is better to split up the trip and stop for a night at one of the permitted berths. The most peaceful are: off the Gieselau Lock at 40.5km; in Lake Obereider (entrance off 66km); Lake Borgstedt (67.5km and 70km); and in Lake Flemhude (85.4km). Kilometres are counted from west to east, from Brunsbüttel to Kiel and clearly marked ashore.

Welcome to kiel

Seagulls fly high - a gentle breeze blows, bringing fresh sea air into the city. This North German city has a unique atmosphere. If you enjoy spending time outdoors, Kiel is the best place for you. But Kiel can offer you more than just the sea.

Kiel is Germany's northernmost city. Located right on the Baltic Sea, it serves as the last stop on one of the busiest man-made waterways in the world - the Kiel Canal. Kiel is an important naval base in Germany and is known for its international sailing event, "Kieler Woche".

Kieler Woche is held once a year and includes an extensive support program full of concerts and various presentations . During the festival, you can also try regional specialties, a fish specialty known as "Kieler Sprotten".

The capital of Schleswig-Holstein, Kiel, is located near the Danish border. Kiel is a Hanseatic city. You can say this by looking at the typical Gothic brick architecture of buildings. Directly near Kiel, you can visit the Laboe Navy Memorial and see one of the five remaining submarines of World War II, U 995.

The sea city, of course, needs a harbor. And it is located right behind the railway station, so the Baltic Sea will immediately meet you as soon as you arrive in the city. Navigating the Baltic Sea is very simple, there are no tides, the fairways are clearly marked, and swimming at night is also possible without problems thanks to an experienced crew. The distances between the ports are usually very short, which allows you to plan long or short stages at your discretion.

The road along Kieler Förde, Kiellinie, takes you to the seal pool and aquarium , which belongs to the Geomar Institute. The location of the city on the Baltic Sea also gives you the advantage that after the lectures you can ride a bicycle and go cycling to one of the many beaches located in the immediate vicinity of the city.

Kiel's sights include the Old Botanical Garden , the 106-meter Rathausturm, Germany's oldest student theater, Schechsekbau and Schrevenpark, which attracts a lot of people during the summer months.

As one of the most popular and recommended agencies, we will help you find the most suitable yacht for your holiday on the Baltic Sea. All our yachts are owned by private owners who either service their ship or have a service contract with a specialized company. Yachts can be rented on a weekly basis, usually starting on Saturday.

All rented yachts in Germany must have the German “Bootszeugnis”, which is the official certificate for charter boats without a crew in accordance with German law. This certificate is issued every two years by a German institution after checking the safety of the ship and its equipment.

All our boats are rented without crew. This means that as a skipper, you need the appropriate qualifications. Legally, a license to sail from your country of origin is required. In accordance with European law, if you have the right to operate a similar yacht in your country, you also have this right in any other EU country.

Since 2019, our company has been working for you, sharing your passion for sailing, the sea, wind and waves. Contact us to organize the perfect holiday on the water. In addition to our own experience, we also benefit from the experience of our clients that we have been accompanying for the last time. No matter where you travel - in Croatia or in the Bahamas. From a rich offer to find the right yacht for you and a reliable rental company , this is what we see as our mission.

We find the right yachts for you - by phone or online, when registering on Saturday or when refunding. Your time spent aboard the yacht will inevitably be your best experience.

Enter Kiel Canal Holtenau

If you ever wondered where the Holstein cow comes from, you’ll find out by traveling along the Kiel Canal, which cuts diagonally 98 kilometers (61 miles) through Schleswig-Holstein. Passengers crossing the canal from east to west enter at Holtenau, a town just north of the port of Kiel. The northern German state is a far cry from the tourist image of beer halls, lederhosen and dirndls: Up here, Germans are known for lounging on the beach in  Strandkörbe  (shaded canvas beach chairs) or watching the sea from covered wicker sofas out of a Thomas Mann novel. The heaths and low hills that reign allow wind farms to harness energy, while the nation’s largest national park, the Wadden Sea, is made up of vast estuaries that in 2009 earned it UNESCO World Heritage Site status. 

Called the Nord-Ostsee in German, the Kiel Canal, which connects the Elbe River with the Baltic Sea, was a pet project of Wilhelm II; he finished it just in time for World War I, sparing ships then and since the 400-kilometer (250-mile) journey around Denmark. Today, you sail quietly past waterfowl in the marshes, as well as cows, sheep and bike riders along the banks. You’ll witness small freight ships sharing the water with pleasure craft helmed by serious sailors heading to their yacht clubs, all of which make the Kiel Canal the world’s most trafficked manmade waterway.

Think exceptional. Aluminium yachts redefined.

Pure Yachts is a new German shipyard building high-end performance aluminium sailing boats from 42 to 50 feet.

Oil depot fire, casualties reported in Russia's Krasnodar Krai following drone strike

A fire broke out at an oil depot at Port Kavkaz in Russia's Krasnodar Krai overnight following a drone strike in the early hours of May 31, the Telegram channel Crimean Wind reported.

According to local authorities, the fire originated at a fuel depot housing three petroleum tanks. The fuel is used to supply gas to Russian forces in parts of occupied Kherson and Zaporizhzhia oblasts, according to Crimean Wind.

Authorities claim that there are multiple casualties among the employees of the oil depot as a result of the strike.

The Kyiv Independent could not verify the claims, and no information is presently available on the extent of the casualties.

Port Kavkaz lies directly on the border between occupied Crimea and Russia's Krasnodar Krai. The port sits about 12 kilometers east of the Kerch Bridge that connects occupied Crimea with mainland Russia.

Explosions reportedly rang out around 2 a.m. local time.

Ukraine's Armed Forces have yet to take responsibility for the attack, nor have they provided comment.

On May 30, Ukrainian Magura V5 naval drones destroyed two and damaged two more Russian patrol boats in occupied Crimea while also causing damage to the Russian Kerch ferry crossing in occupied Crimea.

The ferry crossing was hit with U.S.-provided long-range ATACMS missiles, according to the General Staff.

Oil depot fire, casualties reported in Russia’s Krasnador Krai following Ukraine’s drone strike

On the night of May 31, 2024, Ukrainian drones targeted an oil depot at Port Kavkaz in Russia’s Krasnodar Krai, causing significant damage and casualties.

The attack resulted in fires at the depot, with reports of multiple employees being injured. Local authorities and Russian media confirmed the strikes, with some sources reporting the destruction of several oil tanks and ongoing efforts to extinguish the fires.

Local authorities say the fire originated at a fuel depot housing three petroleum tanks. According to Crimean Wind, the fuel is used to supply gas to Russian forces in parts of occupied Kherson and Zaporizhzhia oblasts.

Authorities claim that there are multiple casualties among the employees of the oil depot as a result of the strike.

A Ukrainian drone attack sparked a fire and damaged several storage tanks at a fuel depot in Russia’s Krasnodar region, the region’s crisis administration said on Friday.

About six drones were destroyed and debris fell on the refinery near the village of Yurovka, the administration said on the Telegram messaging app.

“Several tanks were damaged,” the administration said, adding no one was injured in the attack.

Drone attacks on energy facilities inside Russia’s territory have become more frequent in the past few months. Kyiv officials say that they conduct the attacks to undermine Russia’s war effort and respond to Moscow’s strikes on Ukrainian energy infrastructure.

The oil depot was last attacked on May 31, according to Russian state media.
