Smeralda the 77m launched in Australia up for sale

The owner and builder of Smeralda the 77m superyacht recently launched at Henderson near Perth Australia has put her up for sale.


German eco-industrialist Guido Krass the man behind Hanseatic Marine has put his brand new luxury yacht, Smeralda, on the market using London based superyacht broker Burgess.


Smeralda is the world’s largest all aluminium motor yacht and perhaps the most expensive export product to come out of Australia.


Hanseatic has built two other “Silver Series” yachts with in recent years.


Smeralda is the third superyacht produced by the builder


In April last year, Krass reportedly sold his Hanseatic-built, 73m Silver Zwei for 59 million euros. 


Smeralda comes complete with

• Glass jacuzzis
• Outdoor cinema
• Night club
• Day spa

Toys include

• Helicopter pad
• Jet skis
• Scuba diving sea scooters
• Tenders

Accommodation includes a private apartment and 19 other rooms for cabin crew and VIP guests.


Designed with a range of 4500 nautical miles at 18 knots she is expected to reach a top speed of 30 knots.


Hanseatic project manager Chris Blackwell told the newspaper PerthNow that Mr Krass may visit Perth when Smeralda conducts sea trials in the near future.


He said the yacht had taken over two years and 550,000 man hours to build.


“Projects like these are extremely rare and unique,” Mr Blackwell said.


“Our local ship building industry is proving to the world that WA has what it takes to build the most exceptional technologically advanced vessels.”


Smeralda was the first WA-built vessel to be launched from the $60 million floating dock at the Australian Marine Complex, which was opened by the State Government two years ago.
