Gebr. schurenstedt Motor yacht gaia used

- A REAL GEM - The MOTOR YACHT GAIA has a fascinating and intriguing history: è A displacement-type shuttle built in the late 1950s at the Schurenstedt shipyard in Germany. Originally named Kormoran, she was built for a German owner as a private yacht and was later sold to an Italian owner and transferred to the Mediterranean..Years later, it was acquired by a Sicilian shipowner who, working with naval architect Biriaco at the Rodriguez shipyard, gave the boat its current configuration by extending the flybridge. The hull remains original to this day..In the early 2000s, a new Italian shipowner operated the ferry until 2008, when it was purchased by the current owner. The ferry was stored in a covered warehouse in Genoa Voltri, completely dismantled, with only the new engines and generators (0 hours) assembled but not installed, and with the structural framework intact..Starting in 2008, the engines and generators were installed by Cummins of S. Margherita Ligure. The interiors, designed by Rome-based naval architect Alessio Liuni, were crafted and installed by a German carpentry shop..In 2010, the shuttle was transferred to the Port of Genoa for final installation and testing by RINA Italiano. It was subsequently registered in Vienna.All of the onboard electronics were installed in 2009 and subsequently overhauled by Etruria Service, owned by Massimo Orlandini of San Vincenzo (FI), in 2014.Spanning three decks, Gaia features a dining area at the stern, from which a circular staircase leads down to the lower deck, which houses two cabins and two bathrooms. From the aft salon, heading forward on the left, you’ll find the galley and, beyond that, the elevated helm station. You’ll also find the main salon, with a second circular staircase leading to the lower deck, reserved for the full-beam owner’s cabin and a VIP cabin. The flybridge features a bimini top and a spacious sunbathing area, as well as a second helm station and a 5-meter tender. On the deck, toward the bow, there is also a sailing dinghy over 4 meters long. Also toward the bow, a companionway leads to the crew quarters (with two cabins)).The interiors feature maple wood and champagne-colored pearlescent lacquer (on walls and furniture), while the main deck features wenge wood flooring that contrasts sharply with the wall finishes, and the lower deck is carpeted in a biscuit-colored fabric. The ceilings are lined with Alcantara..From 2008 to 2010 The yacht underwent a complete restoration in Italy, where the current interior was designed by architect Alessio Liuni and equipped with all modern amenities, in addition to the installation of new engines and generators.Projects 2023The entire upper deck has been repainted: the sides of the deckhouse and the bulwark were sprayed with a two-component polyurethane paint and treated with an anti-rust coating, followed by polishing.Complete refurbishment of the seating benches in the aft outdoor dinetteRenovation of woodwork, including deck hatch frames, exterior swing and sliding doors, handrails, and deck and flybridge railings.
