Custom Gebr. Schurenstedt Motor Yacht Gaia

- A REAL GEM -

MOTOR YACHT GAIA has a history of great charm and interest behind it:
is a displacement shuttle built in the late 50s in the German Schurenstedt shipyard. Original name: Kormoran built for a German owner as a pleasure M/Y, later sold to an Italian owner and transferred to the Mediterranean.
Over the years it has been acquired again by a Sicilian owner who, at the Rodriguez shipyard with the naval architect Biriaco, gives the shuttle its current configuration with the extension of the flybridge. The hull remains original to this day.
In the early 2000s, a new Italian owner kept the shuttle until 2008, when it was purchased by the current owner. The shuttle was in a covered storage in Genoa Voltri completely dismantled only with the new engines and generator set (0 hours) assembled but not installed and with the load-bearing structures.
Starting from 2008, the engines and generators were installed by Cummins of S. Margherita Ligure. The interiors designed by the naval architect of Rome Alessio Liuni were made and assembled by a German carpentry workshop.
In 2010 the shuttle was transferred to the Marina di Genova for final installations and tests carried out by RINA Italiano. It was later recorded in Vienna.
All the on-board electronics were installed in 2009 and subsequently overhauled by Massimo Orlandini's Etruria Service of San Vincenzo (FI) in 2014.
Structured on three decks, Gaia is organized with a dining area aft of which, a circular staircase leads to the lower deck, which houses two cabins and two bathrooms. From the aft saloon, continuing towards the bow on the left, there is the galley and, then, the bridge in an elevated position. There is also the main saloon, with a second circular staircase leading to the lower deck, reserved for the owner's cabin (full beam) and VIPs. The fly has a bimini and a large sunbathing area, as well as a second helm station and a 5-meter tender. On the deck, towards the bow, there is also a sailing dinghy of over 4 meters. Also towards the bow a companionway leads to the crew area (with two cabins).
The interiors have been furnished with maple wood and champagne-colored pearlescent lacquers (walls and furniture), while for the floors the main deck is characterized by a wenge wood in strong contrast with that of the walls and the lower deck by biscuit-colored carpeting. The ceilings are in Alcantara.

From 2008 to 2010
the yacht has undergone a complete restoration in Italy, where new interiors (the current ones) have been created by the architect Alessio Liuni and equipped with all modern comforts as well as the installation of new engines and generators.
