Design & Construction
Designed around a displacement steel hull and an aluminium superstructure she features a 23.28m beam and a 5.17m draft. The yacht has an internal volume of 10,167 GT (Gross Tonnes). The design also incorporates a heli-pad.
Construction started in late 2015 with the keel laid under the project name 'Project Lightning'. Launched in July 2019 this yacht undertook sea trials over the following months. She was delivered to her owners in June 2020.
Exterior Design
Boasting not one, but two helicopter landing pads, Scheherazade ensures seamless arrivals and departures for her distinguished guests, emphasizing the pinnacle of convenience and status. The pads, with D values of 18 and 15, are located on the upper and foredecks, respectively, allowing for versatile use and an unmistakable air of grandeur.
The yacht's outdoor amenities are designed with the utmost attention to detail, featuring two lavish Jacuzzis and two outdoor firepits, which create an ambiance of warmth and sophistication. These areas invite guests to indulge in relaxation and socialization while being enveloped by the breathtaking surroundings of the open sea.
Further adding to Scheherazade's allure is her enclosed sea lounge on the main deck aft. This innovative feature expands the vessel's generous volume, which measures over 10,000 GT, providing an exclusive retreat where guests can relish in the tranquil beauty of the ocean environment, shielded from the elements but still intimately connected to the seascape.
Interior Design
When a yacht is intended to be extremely private, the interior spaces tend to take precedence. Limited covered deck space at the aft end of the main and upper decks is well enclosed by glass sides for cooling, with even the sundeck fully shaded by a hardtop. The focus on the interiors highlights designer François Zuretti's hallmark style, combining timeless elegance with modern sophistication. Though few interior photographs are publicly available, they showcase Zuretti's styling at its best.
The main salon features a spacious socializing area with custom-built settees that encourages open conversation. Beneath a large illuminated ceiling feature, multiple guests can relax on soft grey sofas with a subtle white pattern, complemented by cabinetry following the curvature of the sofa's outer edge. Handwoven rugs atop decorative parquetry add an elegant touch, while antique lamps provide a soft glow, enhancing the convivial atmosphere. Every aspect is meticulously curated and designed to complement this yacht's stunning interior.
Accommodation
Designed to host up to 18 privileged guests, she offers nine exquisite suites, each crafted to provide an unparalleled experience of elegance and sophistication on the open seas.
The owner's suite, or master cabin, is the jewel in the crown of Scheherazade's accommodation offering. For guests, the additional eight suites are no less impressive. Each cabin is designed with a unique character, furnished to the highest standards, and equipped with state-of-the-art technology to ensure guests are cocooned in comfort and luxury.
Scheherazade's commitment to excellence extends to her crew accommodation, designed to house up to 40 crew members. The crew quarters are constructed to provide those who work on board with a comfortable living environment, ensuring that they can maintain the high level of service expected on a luxury yacht of this caliber. The spaces are efficient, well-appointed, and allow the crew to rest and rejuvenate, so they are always ready to attend to guests' needs with the utmost professionalism and discretion.
Performance & Capabilities
At the heart of Scheherazade's performance prowess lies the formidable engineering encapsulated in her twin diesel MTU (20V 1163 M84) engines. Each 20-cylinder engine delivers an impressive 8,837 horsepower at 1280 revolutions per minute, a testament to the exceptional design and engineering expertise of the Lurssen shipyard. The power generated by these engines affords Scheherazade a considerable top speed of 20 knots, allowing for swift and efficient voyages across the open seas.
Cruising, however, is where Scheherazade truly excels. At a comfortable cruise speed of 15 knots, guests onboard can enjoy the yacht's luxurious amenities and the ocean's tranquility without the rush. The balance between speed and comfort is finely tuned to deliver a superior yachting experience, ensuring that travel between destinations is as enjoyable as the time spent at each.
Understanding the importance of stability for the comfort of her guests, Scheherazade has been equipped with state-of-the-art stabilizers. These systems are crucial for minimizing the rolling motion of the yacht that can occur while at anchor or during unfavorable sea conditions. The inclusion of such sophisticated stabilizers ensures that guests experience minimal disruption from ocean swells, making for a serene and pleasant environment, whether stationary or traversing rough waters.
Amenities
The yacht features a well-equipped gym, allowing her guests to keep up their fitness regimes at sea. For the ultimate relaxation experience, the yacht plays host to a luxury spa. Ensuring everyone on board can enjoy the water to the fullest, luxury yacht Scheherazade offers a large beach club connected to a swim platform, with plenty of space for lounging and soaking up the sea views. In addition, full cinema facilities ensure five-star entertainment. The yacht is also home to a beauty salon, where those on board can enjoy a number of beauty treatments. The yacht can house plenty of nautical toys and accessories, with a well-appointed tender garage for storing her impressive locker. An elevator makes the yacht fully-accessible, while air conditioning offers increased on-board comfort and underwater lights will turn plenty of heads when the sun goes down. Scheherazade also features a deck jacuzzi for cooling off.
