SAINT NICOLAS’s six-deck arrangement pairs Espen Øino exterior styling with warm interior design by Zuretti for extended family cruising.
SAINT NICOLAS uses six deck levels to accommodate the different rhythms of a private cruise aboard a 70-metre yacht. Delivered by Lürssen in 2007, she brings together exterior styling by Espen Øino and interiors by Zuretti in an arrangement built for substantial guest and service spaces, including protected indoor rooms for time away from the open decks.
Six levels with separate purposes
The arrangement allows guests to choose between open-air decks, indoor meeting places and more private rooms. The relationship between levels is important because the yacht is designed for extended stays, not simply a single formal reception.
The builder records a beam of approximately 13 metres, creating space for circulation and accommodation. Exact contemporary room inventories should be taken from a current yacht-specific source rather than inferred from the original design profile.
The original interior direction
Zuretti developed an elegant, warmly detailed interior that complements the yacht’s clean exterior forms. The design aims to make an unusually large vessel feel comfortable for people who may be aboard for a lengthy voyage.
Colour, materials and furniture choices shape that atmosphere as much as the dimensions. Lürssen’s description concerns the original commission and does not purport to document any later undisclosed alterations.
The view from different decks
Espen Øino’s exterior sets generous open spaces within a coherent profile, with each deck offering a distinct outlook on an anchorage. Movement between sheltered and exposed areas can be part of the day as weather and guest preferences change.
These architectural possibilities should not be confused with a reported journey or gathering that has not been publicly documented. Crew decide how to prepare and use each outdoor space safely.
A documented 2007 yacht
SAINT NICOLAS represents the size and approach of large private projects from the 2000s. A design retrospective helps connect that historical work to current interests in daylight, outdoor space and guest circulation.
