Aboard the 82m HAVEN, a 300m² upper deck, movable windbreaks and RWD interiors turn large-yacht scale into adaptable guest space.
The 82-metre HAVEN gives its guests unusually generous outdoor space without letting the scale of the yacht dictate a single way to spend the day. Lürssen’s official profile describes a 300-square-metre sundeck with moveable windbreaks, while the interior by RWD approaches the yacht as a sequence of individual living spaces rather than one oversized reception room.
A sundeck that changes with the weather
The headline space is the 300-square-metre sundeck, whose moveable windbreak panels can make an exposed area more comfortable as conditions change. Lürssen cites 2.5-metre ceiling heights, giving the deck a sense of sheltered architecture even as the surrounding view remains open.
On a long cruise, that flexibility matters as much as the raw dimensions because guests may want sunshine at one hour and protection from the breeze at another. The exact placement of furniture and service arrangements is a separate onboard decision, not something established by a broad exterior photograph.
Light as an interior material
The 12.5-metre beam creates space for generous guest circulation, yet the builder emphasises glass and light as the means of connecting the interior to the open decks. The transition is designed to feel continuous rather than like a walk between unrelated rooms.
RWD’s contemporary interiors are described through curated and commissioned pieces that give HAVEN a more personal character. Lürssen credits Jim Robert Sluijter, its lead exterior designer, for the lines that frame these rooms and large open areas.
Scale with a defined purpose
At 2,115 GT, HAVEN has substantial enclosed volume, but the most interesting question is how that translates into use. Several spaces can serve different groups at once, allowing a quiet conversation and a larger gathering to take place without competing for the same view.
The official profile does not specify the owners’ day-to-day routines or claim that a particular social event took place aboard. This feature therefore concentrates on the documented architecture, and leaves private details outside the editorial account.
The atmosphere of an open deck
Outdoor living on a superyacht depends on shade, shelter, circulation and the relationship with the sea, not simply an inventory of chairs and tables. HAVEN’s movable panels and sheltered heights make the sundeck a particularly clear expression of that approach.
The accompanying photograph is an official Lürssen image of HAVEN, used once for this feature and not borrowed from another yacht. This is a design and lifestyle profile of an existing vessel, not an announcement of a new delivery on 29 September.
