Launched by Lürssen in 2002 and extensively refitted in 2023, the 97-meter Carinthia VII is a pinnacle of “Timeless Elegance” designed by the legendary Tim Heywood. Originally built for the late Heidi Horten, its iconic “Carinthia Blue” hull and functional lines redefined the proportions of modern superyachts.
