A masterpiece of engineering and design, LA FENICE was built by Richard Ironworks in 1962 and designed by Laurent Giles Naval Architects, originally commissioned as a support vessel for Anthony Boyden’s 12m SOVEREIGN: his challenger for the 1964 America’s Cup.

After an excellent start to her cruising career, LA FENICE was purchased by the French Navy in the mid 1980s, beginning a new career as a training vessel for the French Customs and Border Force. It wasn’t until 2001 that she was bought by photographer Peter Lindbergh, before returning to the UK in 2020. Between 2021 and 2023, LA FENICE underwent an extensive refit and refurbishment: now making her debut in 2024 on the global charter market.

Despite her smaller length of 29m, she can accommodate 35 people in port, and up to nine guests overnight across four lavish en suite staterooms. The cabins are configured as three double staterooms and one twin stateroom (double bed and pullman), each styled with a touch of traditional charm to add to the overall classic charter experience. The cabins exude elegance and sophistication, with a neutral colour palette and rich wood finishes, offering the ultimate pockets of relaxation.

French interior designer Christian Liaigre penned her interiors, beautifully balancing modern aesthetics with classical stylings: dark wood flooring paired with panelling of leather accents. LA FENICE’s layout is open-plan, contributing to a spacious feel which harmoniously connects the different living spaces throughout the yacht’s interior.

There are several sociable areas onboard LA FENICE including a main deck aft bar area, complete with a Bose sound system, and there dining areas across both the main and bridge decks.

LA FENICE is exclusively available for charter with SuperYachtsMonaco, offering a slice of Mediterranean paradise to charter guests. Starting in the South of France and cruising in a south westerly direction, guests can experience a sensational summer onboard, taking in the rich European culture as well as visiting a variety of prestigious events.

After the bustling visits to Cannes and Monaco, head back down South for some truly relaxing moments on the Mediterranean.

Included in the charter fee is also an Axopar 37 chase boat, which is also able to be chartered on its own, enhancing charter guests’ connection to the water.

A final location that stands out in particular for a charter on board LA FENICE is Barcelona. What’s a more perfect location to visit than that of which she was originally built to race in?
