Lemanja Yacht

Design & Construction

Designed around a displacement steel hull and an aluminium superstructure she features a 7.3m beam and a 2.12m draft. The yacht is built over 3 decks with an internal volume of 130 GT (Gross Tonnes).

Launched in June 2022 this yacht undertook sea trials over the following months.

Exterior Design

The vessel's distinctive profile is characterized by a robust steel hull, designed to cut through the waves with precision and stability. The fine craftsmanship is evident in the yacht’s sleek lines and well-proportioned superstructure, which houses a variety of outdoor living spaces, each meticulously arranged to maximize comfort and utility.

The foredeck of Lemanja is an inviting space, featuring a well-appointed seating area around a table complemented by additional stools, offering an ideal spot for guests to gather and enjoy the panoramic ocean views. The presence of bimini poles, neatly stowed, indicates the possibility of shading this area, allowing for adaptable comfort in a variety of climates.

Moving to the upper deck, the yacht's skylounge opens onto a generous aft deck, where guests can find shelter from the elements under the overhang. This area is fitted with plush seating and sunbeds, providing a serene oasis for relaxation or socializing. The crane and stainless steel plates on the deck surface reveal the yacht's practicality, allowing for tender storage during extended voyages, ensuring that Lemanja is always ready for adventure.

The hi-lo swim platform, a functional feature of the yacht’s stern, is designed for ease of access to the water and tenders, enhancing the onboard experience for guests who enjoy water sports or simply wish to take a dip in the ocean. The platform also serves as an entry point to the crew quarters, emphasizing the yacht’s thoughtful consideration for operational practicality.

Throughout the exterior, the robust doors and watertight compartments denote a vessel built for serious ocean-going capability. The substantial ship-style anchor handling setup and the extensive searchlight at the bow underline the yacht's readiness for exploration in remote and challenging environments.

Interior Design

The design ethos of Lemanja centers on an owner-operated configuration, eschewing the conventional enclosed galley for an open-plan layout that seamlessly integrates the culinary space with the living areas. This thoughtful approach to design enhances social interaction and provides an airy atmosphere throughout the main deck.

The galley itself is a testament to practical elegance, boasting state-of-the-art appliances including twin ovens—one of which is a sophisticated steam oven—ensuring exquisite culinary experiences are always within reach. Alongside, the refrigeration solutions are ample, designed with the intrepid voyager in mind, allowing for extended expeditions without the need for frequent resupply. Additional amenities such as a dishwasher and cleverly integrated storage for glassware and utensils underline the galley's functionality without compromising on style.

Moving through the saloon, the interior decor makes a statement with its bright and contemporary color schemes, a personal touch from the owners that reinforces the vessel's inviting character. The fixed television and thoughtfully appointed storage further enrich the living space, ensuring entertainment and convenience are never compromised.

Lemanja's dedication to detail and personalization continues in the dining area, where a side access door not only facilitates easy movement to the exterior but also invites natural airflow, enhancing the dining experience with the ambiance of sea breezes. The nearby wine cooler stands ready to provide the perfect complement to any meal.

Lemanja's design also includes a dedicated laundry room, a rarity for a yacht of this size, underscoring the vessel's commitment to practicality and long-term livability. Throughout the yacht, accents of darker tones provide contrast and depth, while the strategic use of fluting and thoughtful lighting design add layers of luxury and sophistication.

Accommodation

Accommodation aboard Lemanja is as spacious as it is sophisticated, with the capacity to welcome up to six guests in three beautifully appointed cabins. Each suite is designed to offer the utmost comfort and privacy, ensuring that guests can retreat to their own personal sanctuaries after a day of adventure or relaxation.

The VIP cabin, a haven of tranquility and style, boasts a king-sized bed - upscaled from the standard queen size to afford guests an even more luxurious experience. Thoughtfully placed higher up in the cabin to maximize the width of the vessel's beam, the bed guarantees an opulent and restful sleep. This suite is further enhanced by plentiful storage, including a hanging locker and additional shelving, as well as a state-of-the-art entertainment system complete with a soundbar. The VIP cabin's ensuite bathroom does not disappoint, featuring a separate shower, sink, toilet, and thoughtfully illuminated shelving.

Adjacent to the VIP cabin, the third guest cabin offers a generous and comfortable space, with a large bed and ample storage. The cabin has direct access to a well-appointed day head, which also functions as an ensuite, boasting a full shower, sink, and toilet. This facility is accessible from both the cabin and the passageway, ensuring versatility and convenience for guests.

At the heart of Lemanja's guest accommodations is the owner's suite, a full-beam stateroom that exemplifies luxury living on the water. The suite is bathed in natural light, accentuated by the light wood finishes and sophisticated detailing, such as the fluted sections behind the bed and ambient lighting. Within this stateroom, guests will find a massive walk-in wardrobe, ready to house an extensive maritime wardrobe, a dressing table, and large hull windows that frame the ever-changing seascapes. The owner's suite also features an exquisite ensuite bathroom, beautifully lit and finished with chic fluting details, a large rainfall shower, and additional storage.

For those who wish to bring along a professional crew or perhaps extra guests, Lemanja can accommodate up to four crew members in well-appointed quarters, ensuring that every voyage remains seamless and guests are cared for with the highest level of service.

Performance & Capabilities

Lemanja represents the pinnacle of ocean-going performance, built for the discerning owner with an appetite for adventure and a desire for autonomy at sea. Equipped with twin diesel Cummins QSL9-405 engines, each outputting 405 horsepower at a steady 1800 rpm, Lemanja is engineered for endurance and reliability. These engines are not only robust but also continuously rated, a testament to their commercial-grade pedigree that ensures they can operate at full capacity for extended periods without faltering.

The strategic placement of the engines within the hull optimizes the yacht's center of gravity, providing exceptional stability and seaworthiness. Moreover, the unique design allows for a spacious engine room that doubles as a storage area, ensuring practicality in line with the yacht's luxurious appeal.

In terms of speed, Lemanja is capable of achieving a top speed of approximately 12 knots. However, her sweet spot for cruising lies at a comfortable 9 knots. It is at this cruising speed that Lemanja truly shines, delivering a harmonious balance of fuel efficiency and steady progress across the waves.

The yacht's range is nothing short of impressive. With fuel tanks accommodating a generous 24,000 liters, Lemanja boasts a remarkable maximum range of approximately 4,100 nautical miles at an economical speed of 8 knots. This extensive range is a key feature for those who wish to embark on long voyages, exploring the farthest corners of the globe without the constant need to refuel.

Attention has also been given to the yacht's operational aspects, such as fuel management. A fuel polishing system ensures the cleanliness and quality of the fuel, a crucial factor for extended periods at sea.
