Feature: Abeking & Rasmussen 257' Superyacht "Eminence"

Also on board, this full-sized Sauna compartment awaits, for those passengers who crave to feel the rejuvenating warmth of endless summer; anywhere and/or everywhere in the world. S-s-s-sssmile.

Another of the similarly sized Guest Cabins, which comprise three doubles and a twin, as shown here, with a bright window-wall at its expanse. Each of the four have been well thought out and designed by the interiors team, making use of planned activities. Each chamber sports a dressing room as well as the queen-size berth, plus a private head/shower. However, two of the Guest staterooms are VIP-rated, sized much larger than those on the average mega-yacht; also offering a bath, shower, and walk-in wardrobes.

This compact but quite well provisioned Personal Gym offers passengers as well as crew opportunities to stay fit in regular or off-duty periods. Located below, forward, next to the crew quarters, it provides long term pace-making as well as stress/weight facilities.

Eminence’s voluminous, walk-around engine room is quite well organized; the power base for her engines; 2x CAT 3516 B DITA Series II 1492 kW, driving 2 x 5 bladed FPP Schaffran props on Schaffran shafts; w/ HydroControl Steering and ETB Exhaust systems. Her Speed: Max Cruise 16.5 / 14.0 kn. for a projected long range of 6,000 nm @13kn; Fuel Capacity 46,800 USG. Water capacity normal: 9,100 USG; w/ H.E.M. Water Maker to produce 2 x 6,240 USG/day. Below, she utilizes 2 Pairs Quantum zero-speed Stabilizers. She also boasts a Schottel Bow Thruster and Schottel Pump Jet Stern Thruster; as well as a Passarelle & Bathing Ladder, by Aljo. Cranes are Schmalriede.

Without question the Superyacht Eminence registers as yet another premium edition by one of the world’s most outstanding builders. Eminence becomes the new Emporer of the A&R fleet, if not the swansong ship for the late Hermann Schaedla.

DETAILS: ​

Tender Launching System​

In this simple, multi-step pictorial display, we monitor Eminence’s elegant limo tender; as she ventures – in stages – from the protective custody of her aft storage garage, then returns. The entire procedure is quite methodical; simply acted out each time to deliver or restore the smaller craft. As they say in Berlin, “Kein Problem, Schatz!.” (No Problem, Sweetheart).
