The sale of the Lürssen superyacht is being managed jointly by Dominic Millman of Burgess, Alex Banning of SuperYachtsMonaco, and Merle Wood of Merle Wood & Associates.
Launched in 2003, Pelorus was originally commissioned by a Saudi businessman who sought to extend his 72-meter yacht. Instead, designer Tim Heywood proposed a completely new build, resulting in the 115-meter Pelorus, which joined the ranks of the world’s biggest yachts and was the 11th largest at the time of her delivery. Built at Lürssen’s Schacht-Audorf shipyard in Germany, Pelorus features exterior styling by Heywood and interiors by Terence Disdale.
Major Refits and Upgrades
Pelorus has undergone three significant refits, including the addition of a second helipad in 2008. Her most recent refit, incorporating a special survey, is set for completion in April 2025.
Her steel hull shares design cues with Carinthia VII, featuring a high forebody and reverse sheer that sweeps down toward the stern. An additional design element inspired by the armour belt on HMS Belfast lends a distinctive aesthetic to the yacht.
Spacious and Luxurious Accommodations
The yacht for sale accommodates 24 guests across 12 ensuite cabins, with dispensation for up to 36 guests. The owner’s deck houses an opulent master suite with a private study and panoramic ocean views.
Additional guest accommodations include a VIP suite, seven guest cabins, and three extra cabins, one of which features a fold-down terrace. The yacht is served by a crew of 46 with three additional staff cabins and a dedicated staff lounge.
Amenities and Onboard Features
Pelorus offers an array of luxury amenities, including four pools, the largest located on the sundeck alongside a Jacuzzi flanked by sunpads. A wellness center provides a steam room and plunge pool, while a dedicated cinema room features Dolby Atmos sound and a selection of over 120 4K films.
For water enthusiasts, Pelorus boasts seven tenders, including an 11.2-meter limousine tender and an 8.5-meter sports tender by Vikal, alongside a 10-meter X-tender RIB and various Pascoe and Zodiac models. She also includes storage for six jet skis and a complete dive setup.
Performance and Engineering
Powered by twin Wärtsilä 12V26 engines, Pelorus achieves a top speed of 20 knots and offers a 6,000-nautical-mile range at 16 knots. Four Quantum zero-speed stabilizers – two aft and two forward – ensure maximum comfort for guests both at anchor and underway.
