A refined Lurssen of 2019

Madsummer was delivered by Lurssen in 2019 after a design that grew from an initial 85 metres out to a final 95. That evolution required dozens of careful layout revisions to perfect the yacht her owner truly wanted. She went on to win a Judges' Commendation at the 2020 World Superyacht Awards. Lurssen delivered a vessel of real refinement at a highly usable and flexible size. The great care taken over her design shows clearly in every single space aboard, from the main saloon to the uppermost sun deck.

The whole programme reflected the yard's genuine willingness to shape a yacht around a very specific vision. Every deck aboard was carefully tailored to the owner's detailed brief. Madsummer stands today as a fine example of Lurssen's custom work at the top of the 90-metre class. She has since changed hands while fully keeping her strong reputation intact. She remains a real favourite among those who know the 90-metre class well.

Harrison Eidsgaard's elegant lines

Harrison Eidsgaard gave Madsummer a graceful and thoroughly contemporary profile over her displacement hull. The lines are clean and elegant, carrying her volume with an easy and natural poise. A dedicated deck was designed to carry the owner's own seaplane, a rare feature that clearly shaped the whole exterior. The finished profile is modern, considered and beautifully balanced. The seaplane deck is a genuinely rare touch that very few yachts can ever claim.

Eidsgaard planned generous open decks for sunbathing, dining and easy relaxation across her length. A full 12-metre pool and a sea terrace together open the yacht directly to the water. The exterior flows cleanly and confidently from bow to stern. Madsummer looks serene at anchor and thoroughly assured while under way. Her outdoor spaces make the very most of relaxed warm-weather cruising under open skies.

Laura Sessa's warm interiors

The interior by Laura Sessa Romboli is warm, elegant and genuinely highly liveable throughout. Madsummer sleeps up to 12 guests across 10 spacious staterooms, with six guest cabins set forward on the main deck. That genuinely unusual arrangement gives guests exceptional light and generous space. The finish is refined throughout in the assured manner of a top Lurssen. The forward cabins give guests a connection to the sea that is genuinely unusual at this size, with light on three sides.

A large spa, a dining saloon and generous social areas run right through the guest decks. The whole layout was carefully arranged for both family comfort and easy entertaining. Sessa kept the interiors bright, warm and consistently welcoming. Every material aboard was chosen for its quality and long service life. The interior feels genuinely welcoming from the very moment guests step aboard.

Long range in comfort

Madsummer is powered by twin MTU engines driving a stable displacement hull. She reaches a top speed of around 18 knots and cruises efficiently and quietly. Her range extends to some 6,000 nautical miles at economical speed, comfortably enough for genuine ocean voyaging. The propulsion package was chosen above all for smooth and quiet running. Her real range opens up long, unhurried itineraries across whole seasons.

Careful stabilisation keeps her comfortable and steady at anchor and under way. She readily carries the fuel and stores needed for long and self-sufficient passages. Her systems fully meet Lurssen's demanding standards for reliability at sea. Madsummer was built to cruise widely and without any real compromise. She was engineered specifically to cruise in quiet and dependable comfort.

For the owner who wants a tailored yacht

Madsummer suits an owner who values a yacht shaped closely around their own particular life. Her seaplane deck, forward guest cabins and generous spa all reflect a very personal brief. She is ideal for relaxed family cruising and easy entertaining at a genuinely flexible size. Life aboard is comfortable, calm and thoughtfully arranged throughout. She suits an owner who wants a yacht shaped carefully around family life.

Her award-winning design richly rewards an owner who appreciates careful and genuinely bespoke work. She offers real refinement, generous amenity and a genuine sense of individuality. For a buyer who wants a custom Lurssen at 95 metres, she is a genuinely compelling choice. Madsummer remains one of the most admired yachts of her whole class. Her rare blend of comfort and individuality is genuinely hard to find elsewhere in the 90-metre class.
