Well the front half of the yacht certainly looks military. But the back half looks like the lounge deck escaped from the top of a cruise ship! Maybe the idea was to confuse everybody?

I'm still fascinated by the geometries of Skat. To me, it really is a beautiful vessel.

owner.......

I was bored so i looked to see what bill gates yacht looked like so i typed it in google and got a million pics of SKAT. the captions read that SKAT is in fact bill gate's yacht

I made a Google too, on bill-gates-yacht and got about 50 readable answers with different yachts of which the first was Skat, second Octopus, third Meduse and the fourth was Utopia!

And to me he said he rather charter than buy a yacht...

SKAT - My first post on Yacht Forums

She is am impressive vessel. I find the rake on the bow to be very interesting. UNlike most semi or even full displacement megayachts, she has a very narrow entry beam and the obvious raking on the forward structure gives her an awesome aggresive look. Furthermore, it also adds a level of functionality and swell tolerance that most superyachts might think twice about taking on, especially when you look at the bow structure from below and above, you get the impression the slim entry and the lines of the forward structure would easily allow her to cut throw waves and push the two portions of the spilt water out to the side. I wonder if the owners intend to take her into more aggressive waters.


I think Leurssen has made a smart move in making yachts that are not only top of the line in quality, but a vessel different in color and overall style. She reminds me so much of a military vessel, which is why I would have to say that is one of the many reasons I like her.

I am on the west coast of the US and doubt I will see her anytime soon, so lets keep those pics comin!

See Skat in copenhagen Juli 2006

Hello

I have seen the yacht in July 2006 in Copenhagen. Still does someone have more pictures of the yacht? Much-calibrates even structural drawings? I would copy it gladly as mini Ship (Modell)

perhaps more links for more Pics or plans from that yacht?

Thx
Stefan

I know this post is outdated, but I can't help but think that Kelly is describing a haircut know as the "Mullet"; All business in the front and PARTY in the back.

Skat is again in Stockholm. This little tender was just passing outside my house, with a couple of bikes on a rack! Maybe I´ll take some pictures of the mothership later...

Good one Ken

When I was coming back tonight, I had to give way to a certain grey ship since she was a little larger than ours...

Love the "all business" mast on that one.

OK, so here is a third picture...

lady sunshine

s/y lady sunshine is built by jongert, 104 feet long. had a extensive refit in jongert during 2005. can you post the pictures of her?

Skat was suddenly passing outside my window so I took a couple of pictures before she disappeared out of sight. A few minutes later she was back, now with the Heli onboard and used another way out where it is more water under the keel...

Not the best pictures but it is always nice to capture the beasts in the wilds...

That grey paint is a dead ringer for a military vessel

The distance from the German shipyards to Copenhagen and Stockholm is covered in about two days with a megayacht. In the lower red circle you have Abeking & Rasmussen and Lürssen in Bremen, Blohm+Voss in Hamburg and Nobiskrug which is located in the Kiel Canal, connecting the North Sea with the Baltic.

It seems as most yachts are visiting Copenhagen in Denmark, St Petersburg in Russia, Visby on the Swedish island of Gotland and Stockholm. But there are many other nice places where you can anchor all around Scandinavia.

Here you will find a lot of info, plans and pictures of Skat;
