2008 certainly has been already busy for the Lurssen shipyard with the launch and or delivery of several yachts so far. Al Said (ex project Sunflower), Martha Ann (ex Project Shark), Vive la Vie (ex Project Bounty Hunter) are some that were launched this year.

However, another large yacht is scheduled to be launched this year by Lurssen. She is known under the project name of Bermuda. Bermuda is said to be on course for a launch in the Fall season of 2008.

Update

The 79M Lurssen underconstruction with an intended launch in the Fall season of 2008 has been renamed. Previously known under the project name "Bermuda", she will now be Mad Summer.

"Mad Summer" seems to have its own website in conjuction with its central agent. Lovely interior and exterior spaces.

"Mad Summer" is now back in United States waters. She is currently sitting at the Rybovich Marina. She is also up for sale asking 135-Million Euros and is also chartering for the time being.

These were the only two photos, provided by CaptTom that I saw on the forums of her with the then newly repainted hull.

I like the grey hull on her. It is kind-of normal but considering having a baby blue hull for so long... the grey looks different but good.

I was just on their site a few days ago and it was the old site...wow.

Yep...

"Rocinante" has emerged from that refit...appearing to have ben resprayed. The boot colour is definitely different now having a blue on black striping.

Latest look at "Rocinante".

Another one of "Rocinante" after the refit.

"Rocinante" is now for sale. She last had a comprehensive refit in 2024. Guess since the owner took delivery of "Leviathan", no need for her now.

Competition...
