WITH ITS 107 METRES IN LENGTH AND ITS MAXIMUM BEAM OF 14.4, IT BOASTS A SLIMLINE THAT ADDS TO ITS ELEGANCE. With a steel hull and aluminium superstructure, Lana has five decks and can reach 18.5 knots.
The technology used in naval architecture makes it ideal both for relaxing cruises in the calm seas of the Mediterranean and also for crossing oceans. Also, thanks to its 300,000-litre fuel tank and its efficient hybrid power system, at twelve knots it has a range of up to 5,500 miles at 12 knots. That makes it perfect not just for catering to the tastes of refined owners, but also for going to get them and taking them anywhere in the world.
Direct contact with the sea is ensured by the large beach club of 120 square metres, which includes three solariums, one in the middle towards the stern, and two alongside the foldable platforms which transform the sides into two water-level terraces.
pool on the sun deck, which means you can enjoy breathtaking views several metres above sea level. And for people who want direct contact with the sea itself, there is the beach club area on the lower deck, which has three terraces – two of which open to the side and are at water level. There is a large stern area, an island of calm for sunbathing or swimming in the sea. But it doesn’t end there, in addition to that there is a huge number of water toys available to play with friends and various tenders with which to explore hidden coves.
While in the evening you can go out in style with a limo tender to take you to the most exclusive locations. And last but not least, Lana is fitted with touch & go helipad so guests can arrive and depart by air.
Lana satisfied every desire, with its range of on-board services, from the gym to the flotilla of water toys to enjoy the sea, and the tenders for getting to unexplored coves.
The highly trained staff – with as many as 34 crew members – ensure that all these services work well and that everything goes smoothly, with every guest’s needs carefully attended to. The main entrance point for people arriving by sea is through the stern platform in the beach club area which is linked to the main deck by two lateral staircases that cross, and link together, all of the different levels, from the lower right up to the sun deck. The sun deck has a very strong visual impact, and this is emphasised, when the sun goes down, by back-lit stairs.
The lighting brings out the on-board design both inside and out: from the ceiling lights in the cockpits, which at night recall a starry sky, to the finishes along the sides of the furniture, light is everywhere a fully integrated part of the Lana design. Along the main deck, there are a series of relaxation areas, first outside, and then inside, where the lounge bar and living area work well together in an open-space environment.
The luxurious interiors with their modern design feature 2.7-metre headroom in all guest areas, including shared spaces.
Amidships there is a splendid dining room with sidewalls that are entirely made of glass, and give sea views to every one of the twenty seats that the table is designed for. At this point, people who appreciate fine details will admire the structure in chromed steel which is the base of the table, and whose vertical panelling is entirely covered in back-lit alabaster.
In the part going forward, there are seven VIP cabins, all of them fitted with the top comforts and also a study area under the glass wall that looks on to the sea. As we go up to the wheelhouse deck, we find the full-beam master suite, with two balconies overlooking the sea. Going forward two big his-and-hers walk-in wardrobe act as a filter to the service area, which is reached from a common swimming area that is arranged full beam and which has glass side walls as a background. Still on this deck, but going aft, there is the cinema room and a living room with a grand piano.
Going up again you get to the sun deck, a floor that is completely open-plan with a dining area, two living areas and a large solarium in the stern.
Going forward along the sun deck, there is an eight-metre open-air swimming pool which means you can swim while enjoy a breathtaking view several metres above sea level.
This is where the eight-metre swimming pool is located, where you can have a pleasant swim by day and, thanks to the heat regulation system, sit in warm water at night, while chatting under the stars. The lower deck is divided into three areas: in the bows is the crew area and cabins, amidships there is a large tender-garage equipped with side doors that can be brought down, and finally, astern, there is the beach club and spa area.
The area set aside for private rooms has eight cabins, one of which is a full-beam Master Suite, and the other seven VIP cabins, in which the twelve guests who stay on board have at their disposal all the luxury and comfort required for an excellent trip.
The interior layout means that up to twelve guests can be housed in eight cabins, one of which is the full-beam master suite, and there are seven VIP cabins. Each of these rooms is made unique by the stylistic choices that characterise it so that every guest has a special place.
Lana has been designed to sail the seas throughout the world and to be able to tackle the ocean without needing to make stops. Thanks to the dynamic propulsion system which saves fuel, at twelve knots it has a range of 5,500 nautical miles.
The most discerning owners can enjoy a superyacht, managed as a charter, which provides a cruise with an exclusive style.
