News: First Cheoy Lee CLX96 Sold; Named "Reunion"

First CLX96 Unit Sold, Named "Reunion"
​

Despite being completed back in 2022 by the Cheoy Lee yard, the first CLX96 to the market has now been sold. She made her debut on the yacht show circuit already but not much has been heard about this vessel since she was reviewed on YF in September of 2022... https://www.yachtforums.com/review/cl-yachts-clx96-sav.36623/ . She has re-emerged into the news cycle once again now having been acquired by a new owner. Under the new ownership, she has been named "Reunion".

The 29.5-meter hull has its design drawn by Jozeph Forakis with Naval Architecture via Alfaro Design. The approximately 99 GT interior is also by Forakis and can accommodate up to eight guests in 4 cabins. There is also room to sleep up to 3 crew members in 2 cabins aboard. The design of the vessel is unconventional but one that commands general attention. Besides the shape of the bow perhaps the most striking feature is the shape of the superstructure which is led by two decks of reserve-angled glass at the fore and aft of the structure.

Despite her looks, this vessel can reach a top speed of 25-knots with her powerful CAT marine diesels. Fast cruising would be between 20 and 22-knots. She carries a decent 15,500 LT capacity for fuel. 29.5-meters is her length and a beam of 7.32-meters with a draft of 1.62-meters are all dimensions that allow this yacht and model to access anywhere in the world. In terms of construction, the yacht was made in GRP materials.

Reunion has several outdoor relaxing and lounging areas. As a result of the design, there is no traditional flybridge to give the normal relaxation spaces. The bow however, does make up for that loss of space where a circular layout for both sunpads, and built-in seating for al-fresco dining are all arranged. The boat is helmed from the highest deck up as the main deck forward where you might expect to find the wheelhouse is occupied by a large country-style kitchen.
