Motor Yacht Gaia

Experience the timeless elegance of this 1956 Gebr. Schurenstedt Motor Yacht Gaia, a historic steel displacement vessel that has been meticulously preserved. Originally built as the Kormoran in Germany, this yacht underwent a comprehensive restoration between 2008 and 2010 in Italy. During this period, the vessel received a complete interior redesign by architect Alessio Luini, featuring maple wood and champagne lacquer, alongside new engines and generators. The hull remains original, standing as a testament to its solid craftsmanship. Designed for sophisticated cruising, the layout spans three decks. The primary deck hosts a spacious salon with a circular staircase leading to the lower deck, which features a full-beam owner's cabin and a VIP cabin. Two additional guest cabins are accessed via a separate staircase from the aft dining area. The flybridge provides an expansive sunning area, bimini, and a secondary helm station, while the crew quarters are located toward the bow. The yacht is equipped for autonomy and leisure, carrying a 5-meter tender and a small sailing dinghy on deck. This yacht remains in excellent condition following extensive seasonal maintenance. Work completed in 2025 included a full engine service, air conditioning system overhaul, tank cleaning, and antifouling. Previous maintenance in 2023 and 2024 focused on professional refinishing of all exterior wood, a full repainting of the deck whites, and a comprehensive engine room refurbishment. The interior atmosphere is defined by refined materials, with wenge wood flooring on the main deck and high-quality Alcantara ceilings throughout. Currently lying in Italy, the Gaia is offered at 490.000 EUR, with VAT paid. Please note that the price is negotiable and subject to agency commissions. This is a rare opportunity to acquire a legendary displacement yacht that seamlessly blends mid-century charm with modern technical reliability.
