SEAHORSE Yacht – Epic 52m Superyacht For Charter

The SEAHORSE yacht is a 23-year-old superyacht built and delivered by Amels in the Netherlands at their Makkum shipyard.

Originally launched as one of the 52.0m Amels models under the name of Tigre D’Or. 

SEAHORSE is known for being a superyacht that’s regularly updated and maintained. 

SEAHORSE Yacht Interior

The SEAHORSE yacht interior was penned by English design firm Terrence Disdale Design. 

This vessel has a very classic and timeless style featuring wooden details, carpets, and leather accents all over the interior. 

Her color scheme is based on a nude yet creamy color palette with some warm and bright shades. All the different areas are decorated with modern artwork. 

She was designed to accommodate up to 12 guests across five suites including one master suite, two double cabins, and two twin cabins. She can also carry 11 crew members on board. 

In 2016, ICON Yachts, the Dutch shipbuilding company relaunched the SEAHORSE yacht. She underwent a five-month refit and the project was managed by KK Superyachts. 

This refit was carried out in La Ciotat Monaco Marine and it lasted three months. 

Her full refresh was managed by Ocean Independence and the shipyard team. 

Her amenities on board include a jacuzzi on deck, WIFI, TV screens, and air-conditioning, as well as an approved RYA water sports center. She is equipped with two tenders 

SEAHORSE Yacht Exterior

The SEAHORSE yacht has an exterior design by Terrence Disdale Design and naval architecture by Amels. 

Her exterior is classic with clean and simple lines. She is built with a steel hull, and aluminum superstructure and features Teak decks. 

This luxury vessel has a modern stabilization system that helps reduce the roll motion or side-to-side effect while at anchor. She is also equipped with bow thrusters to make her easy to maneuver at low speeds. 

SEAHORSE Yacht Specifications

The SEAHORSE yacht has a beam of 9.0m, a draft of 3.1m, and a volume of 609 GT. She is powered by 2 Cummins diesel engines of 12-cylinder (1,200HP).

She comfortably cruises at 12 knots with a top speed of 16 knots, she carries 106,000 liters of fuel and 17,000 liters of water on board. 

SEAHORSE is one of the largest yachts in the world, she ranks as number 795 and she’s also the 68th largest yacht built by Amels. 

In 2000, she won the International Superyacht Society Awards for Best Power Interior. 

Built to comply with Lloyds, LMC, and MCA classifications, she is in the top 10% by LOA and currently sails under the Malta flag. 

The SEAHORSE yacht is currently not listed for sale, but she is available for charter. 

Her cruising regions are Spain, the Balearic Islands, Corsica and Sardinia, Sicily, Lazio, Campania, Italian and French Riviera, Malta, West and East Mediterranean. 

She has a weekly charter price starting at 200,000 EUR and has an estimated daily rate is 33,000 EUR. Consider both prices plus expenses.

Sea Horse Yachts

The people of the seas.

We’re Changing The Way The World Thinks About Yacht-Building

Innovation and efficiency will be the cornerstone providing the competitive advantage for Sea Horse Yachts.

Sea Horse Yachts (SHY) brings together a perfect blend of pioneering design and performance, from highly unique innovative hull and propulsion design to careful selection and focus on Research & Development. Through our partnerships with leading global design and manufacturing companies, we aim to revolutionize the world of yacht production by building first of its kind works of art.

Be a global leader in luxury high-speed yacht building.

OUR MISSION

SHY will engage with international partners to establish a state-of-the-art yacht and boat building capability in Sri Lanka.

SHY shall maintain the highest standards of efficiency and integrity in its production and services.

Sri Lanka’s friendly and conducive environment for development of boat building allows SHY to achieve a competitive edge in global positioning.

INNOVATION & DESIGN

The production of our yachts are based on the concept of “Boat in a Box” (BIB). Think of it like building an IKEA table from a flatpack.  All the detailed production parts and  equipment will be manufactured by specialized facilities in Europe and the UK.

These will then be shipped to Hambantota to be assembled in Sri Lanka. Production will be supervised by overseas experts to ensure global standards are met.

Overseas expertise will dedicate their future R&D to ensure SHY remains at the forefront of technological advancements.

We're building smarter, faster, better.

Integrity and the relentless pursuit of the deal defines Moran Yacht & Ship - I am grateful that you were on this journey with me. This magical machine KISMET is the second yacht I’ve had built with Moran Yacht & Ship. KISMET has brought joy, hope, and the gift of discovery to many lives - including my own. You have made this world a better place! Owner, KISMET

By way of background, my business interests include controlling stakes in 3 publicly traded companies which operate vessels in the 500 to 5000dwt range. On average, one new vessel a year would be added to the fleet. As a result, I have access to in-house marine architects, engineers and construction supervisors. Consequently, when I decided to build my first large motor yacht, I did not feel I needed the services of a company like Moran Yacht & Ship. In any event, I was persuaded to let them negotiate on my behalf while I simultaneously held discussions with other building options. Moran Yacht & Ship understands yachts, their incredibly complex systems, and what constitutes a practical solution to various owners’ ideas. In short, I would not consider building another yacht without engaging Moran Yacht & Ship to provide the services they are so good in delivering. Former Owner, NORTHERN STAR

Cruising the Moskva River: A short guide to boat trips in Russia’s capital

There’s hardly a better way to absorb Moscow’s atmosphere than on a ship sailing up and down the Moskva River. While complicated ticketing, loud music and chilling winds might dampen the anticipated fun, this checklist will help you to enjoy the scenic views and not fall into common tourist traps.

How to find the right boat?

There are plenty of boats and selecting the right one might be challenging. The size of the boat should be your main criteria.

Plenty of small boats cruise the Moskva River, and the most vivid one is this yellow Lay’s-branded boat. Everyone who has ever visited Moscow probably has seen it.

This option might leave a passenger disembarking partially deaf as the merciless Russian pop music blasts onboard. A free spirit, however, will find partying on such a vessel to be an unforgettable and authentic experience that’s almost a metaphor for life in modern Russia: too loud, and sometimes too welcoming. Tickets start at $13 (800 rubles) per person.

Bigger boats offer smoother sailing and tend to attract foreign visitors because of their distinct Soviet aura. Indeed, many of the older vessels must have seen better days. They are still afloat, however, and getting aboard is a unique ‘cultural’ experience. Sometimes the crew might offer lunch or dinner to passengers, but this option must be purchased with the ticket. Here is one such  option  offering dinner for $24 (1,490 rubles).

If you want to travel in style, consider Flotilla Radisson. These large, modern vessels are quite posh, with a cozy restaurant and an attentive crew at your service. Even though the selection of wines and food is modest, these vessels are still much better than other boats.

Surprisingly, the luxurious boats are priced rather modestly, and a single ticket goes for $17-$32 (1,100-2,000 rubles); also expect a reasonable restaurant bill on top.

How to buy tickets?

Women holding photos of ships promise huge discounts to “the young and beautiful,” and give personal invitations for river tours. They sound and look nice, but there’s a small catch: their ticket prices are usually more than those purchased online.

“We bought tickets from street hawkers for 900 rubles each, only to later discover that the other passengers bought their tickets twice as cheap!”  wrote  (in Russian) a disappointed Rostislav on a travel company website.

Nevertheless, buying from street hawkers has one considerable advantage: they personally escort you to the vessel so that you don’t waste time looking for the boat on your own.

Prices start at $13 (800 rubles) for one ride, and for an additional $6.5 (400 rubles) you can purchase an unlimited number of tours on the same boat on any given day.

Flotilla Radisson has official ticket offices at Gorky Park and Hotel Ukraine, but they’re often sold out.

Buying online is an option that might save some cash. Websites such as  this   offer considerable discounts for tickets sold online. On a busy Friday night an online purchase might be the only chance to get a ticket on a Flotilla Radisson boat.

This  website  (in Russian) offers multiple options for short river cruises in and around the city center, including offbeat options such as ‘disco cruises’ and ‘children cruises.’ This other  website  sells tickets online, but doesn’t have an English version. The interface is intuitive, however.

Buying tickets online has its bad points, however. The most common is confusing which pier you should go to and missing your river tour.

“I once bought tickets online to save with the discount that the website offered,” said Igor Shvarkin from Moscow. “The pier was initially marked as ‘Park Kultury,’ but when I arrived it wasn’t easy to find my boat because there were too many there. My guests had to walk a considerable distance before I finally found the vessel that accepted my tickets purchased online,” said the man.

There are two main boarding piers in the city center:  Hotel Ukraine  and  Park Kultury . Always take note of your particular berth when buying tickets online.

Where to sit onboard?

Even on a warm day, the headwind might be chilly for passengers on deck. Make sure you have warm clothes, or that the crew has blankets ready upon request.

The glass-encased hold makes the tour much more comfortable, but not at the expense of having an enjoyable experience.

Getting off the boat requires preparation as well. Ideally, you should be able to disembark on any pier along the way. In reality, passengers never know where the boat’s captain will make the next stop. Street hawkers often tell passengers in advance where they’ll be able to disembark. If you buy tickets online then you’ll have to research it yourself.

There’s a chance that the captain won’t make any stops at all and will take you back to where the tour began, which is the case with Flotilla Radisson. The safest option is to automatically expect that you’ll return to the pier where you started.

Peter the Great

statue on the Moskwa river

A statue of Peter I on the bank of the Moskva River is one of the tallest outdoor sculptures in the world.

The idea for this monument was conceived by Mayor Luzhkov and created with the help of city-sponsored artist Tsereteli. The monument has courted extensive controversy. For a start, Peter the Great's enthusiasm for his northern capital St. Petersburg was motivated at least in part by his hatred for Moscow. Putting aside historical politics though, others complain that the monument is just plain ugly. The monument itself is 165 feet high, featuring a strident Peter the Great standing atop a frigate in full sail and brandishing a golden scroll. It stands on the western tip of the elongated island formed between the Moskva river and the Vodootvodnyi canal.
