A Masterpiece in Every Essence: Onboard M/Y PHOENIX 2

Stepping onboard PHOENIX 2 transforms the meaning of a luxury superyacht experience. Maintained to an exquisite condition thanks to the dedication of her past Owners, this 90m Lurssen motor yacht transports guests through time to a period of luxurious glamour and opulence. 

Delivered in 2010 and refitted in 2019, PHOENIX 2’s interior is nothing short of a spectacle from stern to bow. At the time of her launch, PHOENIX 2 showcased the most expensive interior ever to be installed on a yacht. Thirteen years later, following an extensive refit, her interior continues to dazzle. Attentively curated by Winch Design, the interior design onboard takes inspiration from the skyscrapers of New York and its iconic, thematic skyline, with multiple nods to the famous cityscape seen throughout the 90m's many rooms. 

Grand and harmonious are two words to describe her unique main deck dining room; fitting for the orchestral inspiration that the design was based upon. Ornate chairs and custom-made gold murals are adorned with images of musicians from a jazz band, with the head of the table aptly featuring the image of a conductor. A custom grand piano with lavish phoenix details also sits nearby, demanding the attention of the expansive room with its absorbing self-playing attributes. 

‘It can look gloomy during the day, but it's at night when this space really comes alive,’ commented PHOENIX 2’s Captain John Lowe. ‘We often do themed evenings including James Bond, Casino Royale, and of course The Great Gatsby, and it just all works incredibly well.’

Next to her impressive musical-themed dining room sits an outstanding sommelier room, featuring several temperature-controlled fridges and stores to curate the perfect wine-tasting experience. In the other direction, a comfortable yet stylish circular lounge offers respite from an evening’s party, all perfectly in keeping with the New York art deco theme. 

On the upper deck, PHOENIX 2 continues to ooze opulence and entertaining options, from her stylish sky-scraper-themed bar with Empire State Building bar stools, to the glamorous winter garden dining room, which offers guest dining in open air or climate control. A spectacular aluminium spiral staircase connecting each deck eventually leads to the tank deck, which is home to the Radio City-inspired cinema complete with popcorn machine: the perfect place to escape to for a quiet movie night. 

A hammam, massage and beauty room, as well as a fully equipped gym, are situated on the bridge deck, and an extraordinary 7m oval pool and jacuzzi with sunpads await those on the sun deck: the options for relaxation are truly endless. 

Forward on the main deck is a haven of privacy and a quiet retreat. The incredible full-beam master suite is adorned in a black and white musical-themed design, only accessible through the main deck or a second sweeping glass spiral staircase which leads from the Owner’s very own upper deck observation lounge, office and outdoor jacuzzi. His-and-her bathrooms with a jacuzzi bath and steam shower can be expanded into one room or kept separate, and one of the double walk-in wardrobes can be hidden for isolated use. Lavish guest accommodation to sleep a total of 14 can be found across two VIP staterooms, 3 double cabins and a twin-berth cabin, each carefully designed to combine peace with luxury. 

Due to her sheer size and layout, PHOENIX 2's Owner can remain completely separate from guests if ever required, providing the utmost level of privacy that is not often seen on yachts of the same size. A lift also conveniently provides ease of access from the bridge deck to the tank deck. Every detail of this 90m speaks of extravagance and meticulous design consideration for Owner and guest enjoyment, with each aspect of her interiors completely bespoke and hand-made. 

Unsurprisingly, PHOENIX 2’s spectacular features continue outside. An expansive beach club is situated aft, presenting an extra bound of space which closens the experience on the water, perfect for dinner parties, BBQs or simply relaxing near the waves; an experience only heightened by an impressive four-metre-deep swim platform complete with hydraulic bathing steps.

In regard to enjoyment on the water, PHOENIX 2 is equipped with two 10m tenders and an array of watersports toys including jet skis, kayaks and diving equipment. Two helipads can be found onboard: one aft, and one touch-and-go pad on the foredeck. 

‘With a gym, hammam, spa, cinema, eight bedrooms, large terraces, large dining facilities and large lounges: you get everything you need onboard PHOENIX 2. But you also get the separation that an Owner looks for,’ explains Burgess’ Senior Partner, Director, and Senior Sales Broker, Rupert Nelson. 

‘There are two spaces on this boat that I think are incredibly unique. The first is the duplex at the front which is split-level: something very rare on a yacht that could also be an entirely separate room. Then you have the incredible beach club which is extremely rare as well. Ultimately, yachts are about living outside, so what's the point in having a beach club that is covered when you can have one just above sea level onboard PHOENIX 2. Ultimately, you’re right next to the water, something seldom seen in the superyacht fleet.’

PHOENIX 2 is an embodiment of art deco allure and Manhattan-style glamour, abundant in amenities and features for every owner or charter’s dream superyacht experience. Undoubtedly, she has set a new standard for superyacht design and luxury across the industry: a vessel not to be compared to.
