YACHTING DEVELOPMENTS LAUNCHED its superyacht new build project, the 33.83m Cygnus Montanus (Hull 1012) in Auckland, New Zealand.

After travelling to Auckland’s Viaduct Harbour from Yachting Developments’ Hobsonville yard, the yacht entered the water with her build team watching on. “Launch day is always special to us as it sees the culmination of the vision of the yacht’s Owners and the dedication and hard work of our team,” says Yachting Developments Managing Director Ian Cook. “It is a pleasure to welcome Cygnus Montanus to the Yachting Developments’ fleet and to see her on the water for the first time.”

Built for experienced Owners, the model was designed by German Frers of Frers Naval Architecture, with interior design by London-based Adam Lay Studio. She was designed to be easily handled by a small crew and features a lifting keel to allow her access to the most remote of anchorages.

Her interior revolves around family living, with a spacious full beam main saloon incorporating a dedicated dining space with the galley and crew accommodation forward. All the interior spaces feature large skylights, allowing the rooms to be flooded with natural light. Accommodation for eight guests comprises of a full beam Owner’s cabin aft and three guest cabins; each space has its own personality, with the décor themed around trips undertaken on the Owners’ previous yacht.

Cygnus Montanus was handed over to her Owners in June, when she departed New Zealand on her maiden cruise.
