New Kaiserwerft: 40 meter "Catwalk"

A brand new and a very unique semi-displacement 40.5 metre BARON will extend to 42 metres by way of a swim platform from the hull and will be featured in Hall 6 at the Boote Düsseldorf Show between the 21st and 29th of January, 2006.

Catwalk's interior design concept incudes stucco walls and fabrics in harmony with Oak and African zebrawood, which have both a polished and satin finish. She was built entirely in-house by KaiserWerft of Bavaria in GRP. The yacht benefits from unusually high ceilings, especially in the entrance lobby located midship. This lounginf area is as high as 3 metres.

In continuity with previously built yachts, large windows in the observation lounge compliment the Salon, a few steps away. Exclusive staircases to the lower deck for both the VIP and Guests are an unusual feature. The large Master suite on the main deck incorporates a Nautilis, an unusual and unique seat at 3 different levels in the bow area. A Penthouse in the Sky-lounge is equipped as a discotheque. Its floor has oak paneling certified to be over 150 years old and 3 glass-frames hold oak certified to be over 3,000 years old.

Rather than have a walk-around main-deck, KaiserWerft forges ahead with full beam salons, which result in the walk-around being at a higher level with stairs leading to the bow area. Sun-space can be experienced in the bow area by way of a Dining table which levels with the seating to become sun-pads, on the superstructure which incorporates a sunbrella and substantial seating and also on the aft top-deck which incorporates a Jacuzzi and sun-beds.
