Conrad Shipyard has announced the launch of its first C144S, Hull #1. Built for a Swiss owner, the superyacht–named ACE has set a new record as the biggest yacht built in Poland. “Characterized by a straight bow and elegant lines,” the exterior design of the C144S line is a collaboration of Reymond Langton, Diana Yacht Design, and the Conrad team. M2 Atelier is responsible for her interior design.
The impressive project took two years to complete, after much “fine-tuning, engineering, planning and hard work by many skilled craftsmen”, according to Conrad Shipyard. The largest yacht to have ever been produced by the shipbuilder, she made her debut on October 12, 2022 in Gdańsk, Poland, where the shipyard is located.
“The C144S is an exciting new project that I am proud to be involved with. Ace is a very high-quality yacht built to Lloyds LY3 and NCA standards. The launch of Hull #1 is a huge step for the shipyard and will gain attention as a top pedigree superyacht whose quality I would put up against any builder in the world,” says Alex G. Clarke, Yacht broker, who works closely with the brand.
The Christening Ceremony for ACE will take place on December 5, 2022, also in Gdańsk, at which Clarke will be in attendance. At the event, the owner and shipyard will bring together family and friends to celebrate the momentous occasion, marking history for the shipyard, the country, and beyond.
Denison Yachting, with the aid of Clarke, sold the C144S Hull #2 last year with SuperYachtsMonaco. She is already under construction and will be delivered just prior to the 2023 summer season.
The C144S Hull #3 is currently offered exclusively for sale with Denison Yachting, asking EUR25,500,000, with construction ready to start immediately. According to Clarke, this opportunity “represents one of the best values on the market today and is available with a 24-month delivery schedule.”
Denison has long been a leader in the yachting industry with a rich family history dating back to 1948, and the start of Broward Marine in Fort Lauderdale. Today, the company provides complete yachting services worldwide, including superyacht sales, yacht charter, crew placement, and new construction. Denison operates out of 21 waterfront offices in the United States, and one location in Monaco with a team of 100+ licensed and bonded yacht brokers.
Conrad Shipyard is located in Gdansk, Poland and specializes in building steel, and aluminum luxury yachts ranging from 24 to 100 meters in length.
