The almost viral-like interest in superyachts that measure over 100 metres could be contributed to the extreme levels of secrecy, speculation, and envy that we landlubbers experience when dealing with these giants of the superyacht world. It is therefore always a truly special occasion to be let inside the goings-on onboard vessels of such size and stature. A sneak peek inside an industry icon such as Luna, however, is extremely rare and it is with much excitement and no small amount of anticipation that I find myself reporting on her recent $50 million dollar refit.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Much like an owner would assemble a team of designers, project managers and crew to conceptualise and ultimately build his\/her new superyacht from scratch, so the owner of Luna gathered a team of experts to oversee what would become one of the most expensive superyacht refits in history. Over 14 months and 450 individual work-list projects later, and the refit of the mighty Luna was a project truly worthy of the term.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur mission was to give Luna a new look,\u201d explains Thraki Yacht Painting boss, Ritvan Metso. The work list supplied by her captain reads like a comprehensive specifications manual that one might find onboard a large new-build project. Re-caulking of the entire ship, hand sanding, fairing and painting of hull, all new exterior furniture, new steam room, new sauna \u2013 you name it, it has been covered.<\/p>\n
