The classic 95-foot (29m) motor yacht LA FENICE is now listed for sale with Northrop & Johnson Yacht Brokers Ed Cavendish and Ed Dickinson. The yacht is priced at €2,750,000, and she is VAT-exempt.
LA FENICE is a classic beauty that showcases the impressive engineering and the stunning styling of the golden age of yachting. Since her launch in 1962 — she was originally commissioned to be the support vessel of Sovereign, Anthony Boyden’s 12-meter challenger in the 1964 America’s Cup — she has undergone numerous refits and updates that preserved her classic elegance while introducing modern comforts.
Her impressive history precedes her, but in 2001, she was purchased by renowned photographer Peter Lindbergh, who oversaw an extensive refit. From 2005 to 2016, famed designer Christian Liaigre brought his signature touch to the yacht, merging contemporary style with timeless elegance. LA FENICE was again purchased in 2020 and brought to the UK, where she received a comprehensive restoration from 2021 to 2023. This extensive refit reaffirmed LA FENICE’s status as a meticulously crafted classic yacht, showcasing the highest standards of craftsmanship and attention to detail.
Laurent Giles is behind LA FENICE’s exterior design, which reflects her rugged, explorer-style spirit. Her spacious aft deck features comfortable seating, offering direct access to the swim platform and the main deck salon. Her spacious flybridge provides an alfresco dining area and a large sunpad, perfect for soaking up the sun and enjoying the open sea. For those seeking shade, all outdoor spaces can be easily covered upon request.
Her interior is harmonious, blending modern aesthetics and traditional charm is evident. The dark wood floors and leather accents provide a welcoming ambiance on her main deck, which features an open layout that offers a seamless connection between the living spaces.
Accommodating up to nine guests in four beautifully appointed staterooms, LA FENICE’s interiors continue the theme of understated elegance, with three double staterooms and a unique triple stateroom featuring a double bed and a Pullman berth. The yacht’s dedicated crew of four is housed in three well-appointed crew cabins.
LA FENICE stands as a tribute to the enduring allure of classic yacht design, with a spirit that bridges the past and present. Her recent restoration ensures that she remains a masterpiece of yachting heritage for generations to come.
