GIGIA

GIGIA is an 85-metre custom steel displacement yacht built by Lürssen in 2017 and refitted in 2024, registered in the Cayman Islands. Both her exterior and interior were designed by Winch Design, a London-based studio whose work at this length is defined by a considered restraint and spatial sophistication. At 85 metres, she occupies a category where the name Lürssen — among the most respected builders in the superyacht industry — carries weight in its own right.

She accommodates 12 guests across nine cabins attended by a crew of 27, a crew-to-guest ratio that represents a formal level of service seldom found outside the largest charter vessels in operation. Her operational reach is exceptional: a range of 7,500 nautical miles enables voyages across the Mediterranean and Caribbean without constraint, and her charter regions reflect this — covering the eastern and western Mediterranean, the Adriatic, and the full Caribbean circuit from Antigua and Saint Martin to St Barts and the Bahamas. Those seeking a smaller, more nimble vessel for port-to-port Mediterranean hopping will find her scale unsuited to that objective, but for parties who want the security of an elite crew and genuine passage-making range, GIGIA is a compelling proposition.

The Winch Design interior is expressed across nine cabins, creating an unusual configuration for 12 guests that allows generous allocation of private space — including an owner's study. The 2024 refit confirms her systems and finish are maintained at the standard expected of a Lürssen hull in active charter. Stabilisers both underway and at anchor manage motion across the passage conditions likely to be encountered on offshore voyages of this scale.

The onboard amenity list is extensive: a full spa incorporating a sauna, steam room, and massage room, a beauty room, a gym with equipment, a helipad, an elevator, a beach club with diving platform, a deck jacuzzi, a tender garage, and underwater lights. Four GoCycle e-bikes extend the experience ashore. Water toys include four jet-skis across Sea-Doo and Yamaha platforms, three Seabobs, three eFoil foilboards, paddleboards, a wakeboard, a waterslide, an inflatable climbing wall, a floating pool, towable toys, fishing equipment, and snorkelling gear. The charter offering is one of the more comprehensively equipped in the superyacht market.

The provisional rating is based on available public data, reflecting acceptable standards across safety documentation, maintenance records, and operational protocols.
