Manufactured in steel, with an aluminium superstructure, Carinthia VII has a length of 318.25 ft (97.20 m), beam of 52.50 ft (16.00 m), draft of 15.75 ft (4.80 m), and a tonnage of 3,643 GT. The twin screws are driven by four MTU 1163 diesel main engines, generating 39,700 bhp in total, enabling Carinthia VII to reach a maximum speed of 26 knots.[1]

History

Carinthia VII was commissioned from the Bremen shipyard Lürssen Yachts and designer Tim Heywood under the name "Project Fabergé" by the Austrian billionaire Heidi Horten.[1][2][3] It initially sailed under the flag of Austria and with a home port of Venice, Italy.[1] In 2013 the registry was changed to Malta.[4]

In April 2022,[5] the yacht was put up for sale by Frasers for €120M (approx USD$129,463,000, VAT Paid)[6]
