PHOENIX 2 yacht with steel hull and aluminum build oozes manhattan’s art deco in monaco

Lürssen-built PHOENIX 2 at monaco yacht show 2023

The revamped PHOENIX 2 yacht design sails toward the Monaco Yacht Show 2023. First launched in 2010, the 90-meter PHOENIX 2, built by Lürssen Yachts, was redesigned in 2019 to reflect its current opulent features. At the Monaco Yacht Show 2023, the PHOENIX 2 yacht exudes the Art Deco influences of New York City’s Manhattan, from the Great Gatsby-esque interior to the use of lush-colored palettes such as velvet hues, checkerboard patterns, and designs resembling NYC’s skylines.

Andrew Winch of Winch Design handled the interior and exterior design of the PHOENIX 2 yacht. His ethos revives Art Deco and continues to spread it out across the spacious interior and exterior spaces, even showing up on several decks. The maximized use of spaces enables the PHOENIX 2 yacht to have a movie theatre, a dedicated spa and gym, a beauty salon, a beach club, and an elevator on board, all of which fit into the tailored redesign of the Lürssen-buillt yacht.

Cecil Wright presents Lürssen Yachts-built PHOENIX 2 at the Monaco Yacht Show 2023, running from September 27th to 30th, which offers private accommodations for 14 guests in one of its seven cabins, styled and designed by Winch Design. Its hull is made of steel, and its superstructure is clad with aluminum. Upon entering, the use of teak wood for the decks is evident. Inside, the yacht’s grand setting presents crystal chandeliers, marble fittings and fixtures, and the sophisticated atmosphere of jazz clubs in the evening.

Outside and on the decks, there is a moment of respite. The design becomes more subdued while retaining a sense of luxury lifestyle, as seen in the use of light-brown wood and neutral-colored furniture. A cushioned sofa surrounds a jacuzzi on the viewing deck, whose open-air lounge allows passengers unobstructed views of the landscape. Specs enthusiasts might appreciate that Cecil Wright’s PHOENIX 2 yacht can cruise at a maximum speed of 18 knots for 4,700 nautical miles.
