Delivered in 2017 and designed inside and out by Winch Design, this steel-hulled Lurssen superyacht is a rare integration of athletic purpose, family-oriented practicality, and elegant design. Built under the Passenger Yacht Code (PYC), Gigia can host up to 22 guests—an ambitious brief that Lürssen and Winch navigated with architectural finesse and exacting attention to detail.
At the heart of the interior onboard the motor yacht for sale is a calm, monochromatic palette of soft creams and taupes, with artwork curated by a New York-based art adviser adding subtle color accents throughout. The interior leans toward what Winch Design called “American Classic” – a look that fuses Midwestern warmth with maritime elegance. Joinery in makore wood is paired with traditional architectural moldings, most notably in the hand-crafted balustrade of the owner's staircase, which cleverly meets PYC regulations through non-flammable materials that retain the look and feel of natural wood.
Wellness was a major priority in the interior layout. A dedicated spa area on the lower deck was designed with professional athletes in mind and includes a steam room, sauna, hydrotherapy showers, massage room, and a 12-seat spa pool. The spa opens out to a wet lounge and beach club area, complete with teak decking that extends onto the bathing platform. This retreat is grounded by a dramatic mosaic by Serbian artist Andjelka Radojevic, and even includes a glass-walled storage room for bicycles and Segways.
Social spaces are expansive yet thoughtfully arranged. The main salon opens to a formal dining room with seating for 18, while a curved bar with a beer tap makes the lounge more informal. Guests move easily between decks via a guest elevator that links all levels of the yacht.
Gigia’s interior design earned her multiple finalist nominations at the 2018 Boat International Design & Innovation Awards, including Best Interior Design (1,000GT and above), Best Lifestyle Feature Design, and Best General Arrangement and Deck Design.
From the outside, Gigia is instantly recognisable thanks to her navy blue hull and gleaming white superstructure - both defined by clean, timeless lines. Andreas Iseli of the Winch Design team was responsible for the exterior spaces, which mirror the calm luxury found inside. Despite her scale, Gigia retains a sense of balance and fluidity between decks.
The main aft deck onboard the yacht for sale features a curved bar and lounge-style seating beneath a shaded overhang, while glass doors slide open into the interior for a continuous indoor-outdoor feel. Above, the bridge deck includes a gym, bar, 12-person spa pool, and sunpads, with a staircase leading to the sundeck’s oversized daybed and forward-facing sofa. These upper decks are designed for sunbathing, fitness, and entertaining -with panoramic views of approaching coastlines or secluded anchorages.
A certified helideck located forward provides landing access for day or night arrivals and doubles as a windbreak for the owner’s private terrace. Below, the garage for the yacht’s tenders is tucked discreetly beneath the helideck, maintaining the clean profile.
Originally built for a former Olympic cyclist, Gigia is a yacht designed with large guest numbers and crew support in mind. Her accommodation comprises nine guest suites for up to 18 people, but she is certified to host up to 22 guests under PYC regulations. Most of the guest suites are convertible, with flexible bed configurations to suit families or larger groups.
The owner's suite is a private haven on its own deck, complete with panoramic windows, office space, and direct outdoor access. A dedicated study and lounge area offer additional privacy, while the space around the owner's suite is designed for comfort and solitude - even on a busy charter or family holiday.
A crew of 28 is accommodated across 14 cabins, ensuring smooth and efficient service throughout the vessel. Practical aspects of the layout, such as the eight escape hatches and four crew staircases on the main deck alone, reflect the emphasis placed on safety during the build.
Underneath her sleek lines, Gigia houses twin MTU 16V 4000 M63 diesel engines, delivering a top speed of 17 knots and a cruising speed of 14 knots. At an economic speed of 12 knots, she has an impressive transoceanic range of 7,500 nautical miles, thanks to fuel tanks capable of holding 257,000 liters.
Gigia is on the market with Burgess and is currently asking €169,000,000.
