Yachting
90-m Athena will be biggest yacht at Monaco


Burgess Yachts will showcase some stunning motor and sailing yachts available for sale or charter at the upcoming Monaco Yacht Show.

The display will include the largest yacht at the show – the fabulous 90-m three-masted schooner Athena, which is on the market for $69.9 million.

Clients will be welcomed at stand QH17 on the Quai de l’Hirondelle where brokers will be on hand to offer tours and advice. 

Several yachts have motivated sellers prepared to accept a realistic price and some serious inspections are anticipated in Monaco after what has proved to be quite an upbeat summer, Burgess says.

A full hospitality area for clients will be on offer, while a fleet of private tenders and Rolls-Royces will be on hand to speed clients around the show and onto the yachts.

Here’s a look at some of the superyachts on show by Burgess…


ATHENA

At 90 m, Athena is the largest sailing yacht currently on the brokerage market. Custom built by the world-class Dutch shipyard Royal Huisman and designed by the esteemed late Pieter Beelsnijder in association with the naval architecture talents of Gerard Dykstra & Partners, Athena carries a phenomenal pedigree, representing the very highest calibre of Northern Europe shipbuilding. As magnificent a presence on the water today as when she was delivered in 2004, Athena completed a comprehensive refit in 2011 with her 10-year survey performed in 2014 and has always been maintained to the highest standards. The fourth largest sailing yacht in the world, Athena is said to represent a very attractive purchase opportunity.
