A masterwork of naval history, this 1956 Gebr. Schurenstedt Motor Yacht Gaia represents a unique opportunity to own a professionally preserved displacement vessel. Measuring 23.85 meters with an steel hull, the yacht underwent a major structural and aesthetic restoration between 2008 and 2010, followed by consistent maintenance, including significant works in 2023, 2024, and 2025. Her propulsion is powered by a 255 HP Cummins 6 CTA 8.3 engine, installed new in 2009 and currently showing 1400 hours of operation.
Designed with an emphasis on comfort and space, the vessel is structured across three decks. The interior layout comprises four cabins and four bathrooms, finished with elegant maple wood, champagne-colored lacquering, and wengé flooring. The main deck features a spacious salon and dining area, while the lower deck houses the full-beam master cabin and a VIP suite. An elevated helm position ensures excellent visibility, complemented by a secondary control station on the flybridge, which also offers a large sunbathing area and a 5-meter tender.
This motor yacht is exceptionally well-equipped for long-range cruising, featuring a 24,000-liter fuel capacity and a cruising speed of 9 knots. Modern upgrades include a replaced Condaria climate control circuit board, updated Victron color control systems, and a complete engine room restoration. Notable accessories include an Alfa Laval water-fuel separator, a 4.05-meter sailing dinghy, and extensive onboard amenities, including dedicated crew quarters with two cabins.
Currently lying in the Adriatic Sea, this vessel is sold with VAT paid. Her pedigree, combined with the rigorous maintenance schedule and professional refits, positions her as an ideal choice for the discerning collector seeking a yacht with a rich history and modern functionality.
