The 97m yacht has a value of $180 million with an exterior design by Tim Heywood.

The interior of the CARINTHIA VII yacht was designed by  Tim Heywood Design  and Ellehorst Kreuter in 2002. She has accommodation for 14 guests in 8 suites comprising one VIP cabin, and two twin/double cabins.

She is capable of carrying 37 crew members for a luxury guest experience. Not much is known about the interior of the CARINTHIA VII, except for her accommodations and that she has a beach club, amongst other luxury amenities.

She has features like an on-deck jacuzzi for guests to relax. The details of the yacht’s interior are very private.

Still, the interior is shown to be elegant and luxurious, with the exterior deck featuring plenty of spaces for sunbathing and al fresco dining. 

Tim Heywood was the designer behind the exterior of CARINTHIA VII, featuring underwater lights and a magnificent blue steel hull called “Carinthia Blue.”

It also featured a white aluminum superstructure. She was built by luxury yacht builders  Lurssen  in Germany at their Bremen shipyard.

The exterior exudes a powerful presence in the water and was delivered in 2002. She was refitted three years later in 2005.

She has a teak deck. Her exterior shows her cutting through the water with a sleek hull and superstructure.

Specifications

The 97m CARINTHIA VII has a beam of 18.8m and a draft of 4.8m. She is powered by her 4 MTU diesel engines, which gives her a maximum speed of 26 knots.

At her cruising speed of 22 knots, she has a range of 5000 nautical miles.

She has a volume of 3643 gross tons. The $180 million superyacht has an annual running cost of $10 – $15 million. She was the 12th largest superyacht in the world.

Boat of the Week: This 318-Foot Gigayacht Got a New Glassed-In Gym After a Massive Makeover

The most eye-catching changes are a 36-foot glass-paneled swimming pool on the main deck aft and a 968-square-foot air-conditioned gym on the bridge deck. That space used six tons of folding glass doors to create a winter garden. It’s complemented by a large cinema screen.

Perhaps the most significant change, though, is the yacht’s conversion from private to commercial use to allow Carinthia VII to enter the charter market. “The deal was made for the boat to come to our facility on a handshake, and then we only had a couple of days to prepare between the handshake and Carinthia VII sailing up to Hamburg,” Thomas Krischkowski, head of refit and repair at Lürssen, told Robb Report .

The list of technical upgrades completed by Lürssen includes a new waterpower treatment, a full sprinkler system, 18.6 miles of cable for a new AV/IT system, new exhaust filters and fully overhauled engines and zero speed stabilizers. The yacht also had to meet new SOLAS stability requirements to be a charter vessel.

In 2002, when the Austrian billionaire Heidi Horten commissioned Project Faberge, as Carinthia VII was originally known, expectations ran high. The yacht paid homage to the fleet of Carinthia s owned and built by her late husband Helmut Horten, three of which were designed by Jon Bannenberg.

As one of only a handful of women to commission one of the largest yachts in the world, Horten called upon one of Bannenberg’s protégés, a young Tim Heywood, to pen the design.

Horten had become an overnight sensation in the art world six years before commissioning the superyacht, after she spent $22 million in a single Sotheby’s auction. Renowned for her keen eye, she ensured Carinthia VII reflected a similar level of artisanal craftsmanship.

The original curved laminated teak planking, forward of the owner’s deck and bridge deck, is described by Fraser broker Antoine X. Larricq, who managed the sale, as “haute-couture detailing.”

Other original features include the thick exterior teak decks and cross-hatched parquet floors, which remain in fantastic condition, largely because Horten only used the yacht for her annual summer cruise.

The new owner, also a keen art collector, had two strict requests for the refit: to seamlessly marry the old with the new, and for the shipyard to complete the work within 300 days, so he could enjoy the winter cruising season. He enlisted Italian studio Bizzozero Cassina Architects to oversee the design.

The studio only had two yacht projects before this. But it had completed residential projects for the owner that brought a similar look to Carinthia VII’s 8,800-square-foot interior, including redoing all eight guest cabins.

The walls are covered in fabrics by Venetian artisans, and the central staircase is decorated with handmade, laser-cut tiles in an ombré-patterned blue that transitions from deep-ocean blue on the lower deck to pale-sky blue on the bridge deck. On each floor, the artwork in the lobby matches the color of the staircase, and classic gold elements have been replaced with a more contemporary silver.

A full exterior paint job updated the hull to Majestic Blue, with the superstructure in Matterhorn White and the external deck walls painted in Shark Grey. Following a few minor tweaks at the shipyard, Carinthia VII will soon cross the Atlantic to make its charter debut in the Caribbean.

Heidi Horten: Austria's Richest Woman Sells Luxury Yacht for 160 Million Euros

Heidi goëss-horten, the richest austrian woman, is selling her luxury yacht, the carinthia vii, for an astonishing 160 million euros. read about ms. goëss-horten's "dream ship" and why she has finally decided to sell it..

The wealthiest Austrian woman, Heidi Goëss-Horten, is reportedly selling her famous luxury yacht, the Carinthia VII, for an astounding € 160 million.

Constructed in the Lürssen Yachts yard in 2002, the Carinthia VII is an impressive dream vessel that includes space for Ms. Goëss-Horten’s Bentley, six suites, a sauna, a steam bath, and a helicopter.

According to Bild , the ship’s captain Andreas Jungblut says, “In professional circles, the Carinthia VII is still considered the most beautiful and elegant yacht in the world, despite many new buildings. It was built according to the excellent taste of Ms. Horten, who is also an exquisite art collector.”

Ms. Goëss-Horten is indeed an exquisite art collector with an impressive private collection and even plans to open her own museum in Vienna , as was previously reported by Vindobona.org.

Bild reports that Goëss-Horten’s reason for selling the yacht is that the trips have become “too strenuous” for her and that it has become “more burden than pleasure.”

In recent years, the ship has remained docked in Venice virtually unused.

The € 160 million price tag for the yacht comes with additional operational costs of € 27,400, and a tank of fuel for the vessel costs around € 500,000.

Ms. Goëss-Horten, who is worth an estimated € 2.7 billion, is the widow of businessman Helmut Horten, the founder of the German department store Horten AG.

She inherited her wealth upon the death of her husband, who passed away in November 1987.

Ms. Goëss-Horten is a member of the board of the charitable foundation Helmut Horten Stiftung and was reported by Vindobona.org to be the largest donor to the Austrian People’s Party (ÖVP) .
