The yacht SKAT was built by Lurssen as project 9906. And was delivered to her owner in 2001. Skat has a military exterior styling designed by Espen Oeino. The yacht is registered in the Cayman Islands.
Her interior is designed by Marco Zanini. He created a minimalist style, matching the exterior. The yacht features original artworks by Lichtenstein and Vasarely. The yacht design is military-styled. And she even has a military-like number on the hull: 9906. This number refers to Oeino’s project number: 1999 –
The luxury yacht has a steel hull and aluminum superstructure. She is powered by 2 MTU diesel engines. Which bring her a top speed of 18 knots. Her cruising speed is 14 knots. She has a range of 3,500nm.
The yacht’s commissioning owner was Charles Simonyi. Her legal owning is a company named: 9906 LTD.
Skat was the first yacht for her owner. While normally yacht owners grow into bigger yachts.
Skat means treasure in Danish (Simonyi worked and lived in Denmark for a few years). The story goes that Simonyi calls his Swedish wife Lisa Skat. The yacht is styled like Simonyi’s house in Medina, Washington.
In May 2020 Lurssen launched a 90 meter + yacht, with similar styling as the current Skat. The yacht (or actually just the steel hull) was bearing the Hungarian, Swedish, and US flags. This is a direct link with Simonyi, as he was born in Hungary, his wife Lisa was born in Sweden. And they live in the USA.
The new yacht has a similarly styled sky lounge as the current yacht. The biggest difference is a wave-piercing bow.
In November 2021 is was reported that Skat has been sold. Her sale was concluded by Stuart Larsen of Fraser who represented both the buyer and the seller.
