Personal thoughts from within the Luxury Real Estate network

By Carl Peraltaof 77 Great Estates

Carinthia VII, the successor to a monument in yacht design and a keystone for the future: an impression.

The Carinthia VII, one of the largest and most luxurious yachts in the world, berthed at Grand Harbour on 4th March 2009.

Owned by Heidi Horton, widow of Helmut Horten, the yacht is 97.2 metres long and 15.95 metres wide. Ms Horton, who inherited her husband’s $1 billion fortune, is worth about $3 billion according to Forbes.

The Carinthia VII can often be found at her home berth in the International Yacht Club of Antibes (IYCA). Carinthia VII (Project Fabergé) was built in 2002 by the German yard Lurssen. She was designed by Tim Heywood with an interior by Ellerhorst and Kreuter.
