Amongst her stand out features is an exceptional range and ice class hull, which allow her to explore a number of off-the-beaten-track destinations. Northern Star will now undergo an extensive refit which will last through the summer, and will ready for charter this winter in the Caribbean with Moran Yacht &amp; Ship.

Sold in an in-house deal with Moran Yacht &amp; Ship, this latest sale quickly follows that of the 85.1-metre Solandge in March for the Florida-based brokerage firm. With Northern Star’s asking price at the time of sale coming in at €83,000,000, these two deals alone represent a combined asking price of €238,000,000.

Leander G in Venice

Seen leaving the waterways of Venice yesterday was the 75-metre Leander G. The yacht often played host to members of the British Royal Family while under her former ownership. Following her sale last year, the yacht has now been removed from the charter market. Leander G features naval architecture and exterior design by Kusch Yachts, whilst her interior was undertaken in a joint venture by Pauline Nunns Associates, Katalin Landon and Heinz Vollers. In 1998 she underwent an extensive refit with the Devonport shipyard, in which two of her decks were extended. Here she is seen cruising down the San Marco Canal, with the famous Hilton Molino Stucky building in the background.

Polar Star in Papagayo, Costa Rica

Pictured here in Papagayo in Costa Rica recently is the 63-metre superyacht Polar Star. Launched as Northern Star in 2005 from Lürssen, she underwent a cosmetic change last year where her iconic blue and white exterior finish was transformed to a light-grey exterior with brown accents. She was designed as a gentleman’s world-cruiser by Espen Oeino, and features interior styling by Pauline Nunns and Serena Williams-Ellis. The original owner of the yacht sold her in 2007 ahead of the delivery of his second yacht.

Superyacht Leander G departing Gibraltar

Recently spotted departing the Mediterranean port of Gibraltar, is the 75 metre German-built superyacht Leander G. The yacht recently made headlines when she was sold for the first time since her construction in 1992 by her original owner, Vice Amiral Sir Donald Gosling KCVO RNR. The yacht often played host to members of the British Royal Family. Following her sale, the yacht has now been removed from the charter market.

In regards to her new ownership, she will retain the same name and will maintain her distinguished blue hull. Furthermore, Captain Jules Cope MVO who took over from his brother Giles in July 2005 will remain in command along with his crew. Undoubtedly many prospective charter clients will be sorely disappointed that she will no longer be available for charter for the foreseeable future.<img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/158488/image/large-4681d35e977963fc35ea203ce180da25.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/153400">Leander G features naval architecture and exterior design by Kusch Yachts, whilst her interior was undertaken in a joint venture by Pauline Nunns Associates, Katalin Landon and Heinz Vollers.
