Lady A, is for sale. Launched in 1986, the motor yacht for sale features original exterior and interior design from the late Jon Bannenberg, whose son later founded design firm, Bannenberg & Rowell. Her current interiors are the work of Design Unlimited.
Lady A has undergone a number of refits since her launch, the most recent – and most extensive – having been undertaken by her previous owner at Burgess Marine in Portsmouth, England, in 2017. During the €12 million, year-long refit the Sterling yacht for sale underwent a full hull repaint, now sporting a light grey coat, new teak decking and received a newly designed interior complete with walnut cabinetry and solid wooden flooring.
“
Quite Essential is immediately recognisable from the outside with her wine colour Chianti Classico exterior paint. People would expect the same colour scheme on board, but the owner and Michela Reverberi created a palatial, spacious interior, filled with natural light thanks to floor-to-ceiling windows, as well as skylights opening above the dining table, elevator casing and owner’s stateroom.”
Quite Essential is also incredibly luxurious, decorated with different coloured stone and marble Agate and Onyx throughout, and various materials to recall the four elements. This stunning design is enhanced by luxurious furniture from Kenzo and Fendi, and all TV screens are recessed.”

The incredible sight of a brand-new 310ft- (94m) long superyacht being very carefully transported through tiny quaint villages in Holland before entering the North Sea for pre-delivery trials has been captured in a set of mesmerising pictures.
Photographer and videographer Tom van Oossanen followed the vessel, called Viva, as she was guided for three days last week along narrow canals and rivers, with her eye-catching 88ft- (27m) high frame towering over houses, church spires and windmills.
Viva, built by Feadship, spans 44ft (13.4m) from port to starboard and some of the sections she squeezed through were only 46ft (14m) wide. Van Oossanen told MailOnline Travel that moving her was a very delicate operation .
