Onboard 95m refitted Lürssen superyacht Whisper for charter

Whisper anchored

New images of the 95.2-metre Lürssen superyacht Whisper, formerly known as Kismet, have been unveiled, providing a first look onboard the yacht following her recent interior refit and upgrade. Whisper is currently available for charter with Y.CO for rates ranging from €975,000 to €1,200,000 per week.

Whisper’s bathroom

Whisper was originally delivered in 2014 featuring exterior design by Espen Øino International, interiors by Reymond Langton Design and naval architecture crafted in-house by her builder. Following her refit, new life has been breathed into the superyacht’s indoor living spaces.

As Tom DeBuse of Y.CO Charter Management explained: "Whisper has always been an exceptional yacht, but the recent updates to the soft furnishings have truly elevated her interiors. The new design brings a lighter, brighter ambiance to the living spaces, creating an inviting and contemporary feel while maintaining the yacht's timeless elegance. Every detail has been carefully considered to enhance the guest experience."

Whisper’s stateroom

With a beam of 13.8-metres, Whisper is able to sleep as many as 12 guests across her seven staterooms, including a master suite complete with a fireplace, skylight and a 180-degree panorama of sea views. Further accommodation is also available to support a crew of up to 27 members onboard

Whisper’s study room

Spanning a total of five decks, Whisper offers entertainment in the form of three full lounging and dining areas, with a formal dining table that seats up to 18 guests. Socialising or relaxation can be had in the yacht’s double-height main saloon as well as her dedicated cinema room that can also function as a guest saloon or reading lounge.

Whisper’s dining area

Among her most standout features are her sports bar that converts into a night club ambiance, along with a 12-metre outdoor pool fitted with an integrated Jacuzzi, which is embellished with mosaic tiles.

Whisper’s spa

In terms of relaxation, Whisper’s full-service spa area is home to a hammam, spa pool, massage room, plunge and steam shower for decompressing. Meanwhile, two retractable sea terraces open from the lobby and gym spaces for further immersion with the maritime environment. Large staircases and an elevator running throughout the vessel pave the way for easy transit across all decks.

Further activities can also be had on the water, as Whisper is equipped with Jet Skis, e-foils, Seabobs, kayaks, stand-up paddleboards, wakeboards, a ski boat and a floating trampoline. In addition, there are two tenders for transporting those onboard from ship to shore. Regarding her performance, Whisper is powered by twin Caterpillar engines that propel her to a cruising speed of 13 knots and a top speed of 16 knots.
