Record Sale: Lady Moura, the World’s First Superyacht, Sells for $125M
The superyacht industry emerged around three decades ago, when German ship-building company Blohm+Voss introduced the impressive 105-meter motor yacht, Lady Moura , to the public. Like a mansion at sea, this vessel, with its Luigi Sturchio-designed interiors and innovative seven-deck construction, shattered previous notions of what a yacht could be through its unmatched elegance and extraordinary scale. The ship was built to house dignitaries and statesmen, its high-end amenities and private spaces making it a perfect getaway for the world’s elite. A year and a half ago, however, Lady Moura’s owner placed the superyacht on the market, and in a swift 554-day turnaround, it sold in-house for a record 125 million dollars: the largest superyacht sale by a broker since 2019.
Lady Moura’s new captain is now in command of a piece of boating history. In 1990, it became one of the first yachts to feature a beach club area and a hydraulic fold-out balcony, innovations that would later become standard fare for the industry. The vessel’s wide 18.5-meter beam allowed for spacious interiors, much larger than preceding models of the time, and its splendorous family residence area has inspired shipbuilders to up their game and produce even more lavish maritime living quarters. Despite its exquisite reputation, many of the ship’s innermost rooms are a mystery, their designs and layout having never been fully disclosed to the general public. This sense of mystery only makes the vessel more intriguing; when it appeared on the market last year, the yachting world went wild with speculation about who the next lucky owner would be.
In addition to its sporty exteriors and sleek architecture, the yacht presents an array of high-end features that have stood the test of time. Onboard, passengers will find a swimming pool, flanked by a shady lounge area, and deck after deck where seafarers can spread out and soak up the sun in style. The vessel’s dining area looks fit for a king, with a long table that stretches from one end of the room to another—ideal for a feast with close friends. Some rooms, like the ship’s office, are accented by vaulted ceilings, while others, like the saloon, feature marble and mosaic flooring, a look that is positively palatial. The fact that most spaces come with windows tall enough to fill each room with natural lighting but modest enough to maintain a sense of privacy demonstrates how much thought went into this innovative craft’s design. One doesn’t have to search high and low to see why Lady Moura turned the tides of the yachting lifestyle decades ago.
30 years after she set off on her maiden voyage, Lady Moura is still turning heads, shattering records, and rocking the entire boating industry. This most recent sale, engineered by yachting company Camper & Nicholsons , represents just one chapter in the storied life of this iconic vessel, which continues to stun with its sophistication and timeless flair. The ship’s staggering price tag only underscores its desirability—maturity and majesty wrapped into one magnificent vessel.

LADY MOURA yacht interior
The interior of the LADY MOURA yacht was designed by Luigi Sturchio, a renowned Italian designer.
The incredible yacht was designed to be a floating personal residence, with many people spending more time on the boat than off in the last 20 years.
She has accommodation for 27 guests in 13 cabins that comprises a master suite, a VIP suite, and 11 more cabins. There is accommodation for 71 crew members in 36 cabins.
The interior was kept under wraps for 30 years, but with her sale in 2021, the details have finally been revealed.
The interior design reflects the level of opulence reserved for royalty at the time of her launch as a private vessel. Her sheer size allows for a large number of onboard amenities.
The facilities include a helipad and a hospital suite for guests and crew members.
The yacht has a DJ room and a movie theatre for guests to enjoy. There is a beach club for the perfect indoor/outdoor areas, which compliments the generous swimming pool.
The deck areas are plentiful with al fresco dining options and sunbathing areas.
There is a spa, gym, multiple saloons, and a bakery on board. She features several tenders and water toys, including a limousine tender, a waterski boat, and a landing craft.
Luigi Sturchio also designed the exterior of the LADY MOURA yacht. She was built by Blohm + Voss and delivered in 1990, and recently refitted in 2020.
At the time of her launch, she was the most expensive and innovative yacht in the world.
The amazing yacht set a new standard for yacht building 30 years ago. The yacht features a white hull and superstructure made from steel.
The name and the escutcheon are engraved in 24-carat gold onto the yacht’s exterior. The striking yacht is complimented by underwater lights that illuminate her in the dark.
Specifications
The LADY MOURA yacht has a whopping length of 104m, a beam of 18.5m, and a draft of 5.5m. She can reach a top speed of 22 knots and a cruising speed of 17 knots.
She has a range of 8000 nautical miles and is powered by twin Deutz engines.
She has a displacement of 6439 gross tons. She has at-anchor stabilizers that provide exceptional comfort levels for guests while at the water.
LADY MOURA was built to Lloyd’s Register classification society rules.
Now valued at $125 million, LADY MOURA was rumored to cost more than $200 million to build. The yacht has an annual running cost of $10 to $20 million.

Sale of Lady Moura, the Original Superyacht, Breaks Records
The original yachting company sells the original superyacht in an in-house deal..
Camper & Nicholsons is delighted to announce the in-house sale of Lady Moura, the legendary 105m motor yacht delivered by Blohm+Voss in 1990, with Sales Brokers Arne Ploch and Andrew LeBuhn representing the seller and Fernando Nicholson representing the buyer.
Listed exclusively on the market with Camper & Nicholsons for 554 days, this sale represents the fastest known brokerage sale of a 100+ metre vessel in the last 10 years, as well as the largest yacht sale recorded by a brokerage house since 2019. Her asking price was USD 125,000,000.
Camper & Nicholsons is extremely proud to deliver such an excellent result to the Owner, who recognised in the company a combination of unrivalled heritage and industry-leading innovation that made it the only choice to entrust the sale of such a beloved yacht.
Lady Moura was presented to the market for the first time since her delivery with three decades of storied history: a highly private vessel, she was built to host royalty and dignitaries, a family residence that became a point of reference in Monaco’s Port Hercules. Until her listing, she had never welcomed brokers or charter guests on board. Much detail about her Luigi Sturchio-styled interiors had remained a closely guarded secret.
Catapulted into the list of top ten yachts in the world upon her delivery, she has been called the original superyacht: the beach club, the hydraulic fold-out balcony and the tender garage were among her pioneering features. Incredible interior volumes — her beam is 18.5m — and a seven-deck arrangement are just two of her stand-out features. Her listing on the brokerage market generated incredible buzz, befitting this once-in-a-lifetime sales opportunity.
As the original yachting company, established in 1782, Camper & Nicholsons reaffirms its position at the forefront of the industry with this marquee sale. From our early history pioneering the construction of yachts that have stood the test of time, we have grown into a full-service yachting company offering a 360° of services: from sales and new builds to charter and charter management, yacht management and insurance.
The sale of Lady Moura highlights the exceptional results our customer-centric, tech- and marketing-focused strategy is able to deliver. The company has worked together on this sale as a team, combining all our expertise to achieve this fantastic result for our client.
“I am extremely pleased we achieved such a result and the timeframe in which we achieved it makes it even more exceptional. I would like to thank all the people involved, across our Marketing, CRM, Legal, Brokerage and Management departments as this was a truly joint effort that makes me so very proud to work for this company, with every single team member we have today,” comments CEO Paolo Casani .
“Lady Moura was sold in an incredible team effort with our full, in-house legal support which played a huge role in the process,” comment Sales Brokers, Arne Ploch and Andrew LeBuhn.
“An iconic vessel that defines the world of gigayachting has been sold in-house and three very senior and experienced yacht brokers have been able to achieve one of the great successes in yachting in 2021 thanks to the dedication and organization of all the departments of C&N, starting from the CEO down. This remarkable sale is thanks to truly solid and experienced teamwork,” comments Senior Sales Broker Fernando Nicholson.
We wish Lady Moura and her new Owner all the best as they embark on new adventures.

As of June 2021, she is under new ownership after just two short years on the market and was asking a cool $125,000,000. Lady Moura has been used sparingly in her 30 years: she has a mere 13,500 running hours on the clock so far. Her (original) carpets are still soft, pure cream; flowers tumble from vases on to freshly polished dressers.
Lady Moura accommodates 27 guests and a crew of 71, and features luxurious tenders, including a Sikorsky S76C+ helicopter. With a value of $125 million and annual running costs of $12 million, Lady Moura represents the pinnacle of luxury and opulence.
A year and a half ago, however, Lady Moura’s owner placed the superyacht on the market, and in a swift 554-day turnaround, it sold in-house for a record 125 million dollars: the largest superyacht sale by a broker since 2019.
Lady Moura is a private luxury yacht. She was the ninth largest private yacht when she was launched in 1990 for USD$200 million (equivalent to $466 million in 2023) [1] but has moved down the list in 2021 to number 48.
LADY MOURA was built to Lloyd’s Register classification society rules. Now valued at $125 million, LADY MOURA was rumored to cost more than $200 million to build. The yacht has an annual running cost of $10 to $20 million.
Special Features: Guest elevator. Impressive 8,000nm range. Premium beauty and wellness amenities, including spa and beach club. Generous pool. Thirteen cabins. The 104.85m/344' expedition yacht 'Lady Moura' was built by Blohm + Voss in Germany at their Hamburg shipyard.
Built to Lloyds Classification and delivered in 1990, this incredible yacht is 6,359GT. She has a phenomenal range in excess of 8,000nm at full cruising speed of 17knots, easily surpassing that of most modern superyachts.
Listed exclusively on the market with Camper & Nicholsons for 554 days, this sale represents the fastest known brokerage sale of a 100+ metre vessel in the last 10 years, as well as the largest yacht sale recorded by a brokerage house since 2019. Her asking price was USD 125,000,000.
