@waldmanmedia: The MOST expensive refit! YAS is one of the most distinctive superyachts afloat: a 141-meter conversion of the Dutch navy frigate HNLMS Piet Hein, rebuilt by ADM Shipyards in Abu Dhabi and launched in 2011, with delivery in 2015. Designed by Pierrejean Design Studio, her sweeping, dolphin-inspired profile and glass-rich composite superstructure sit atop a slender steel hull, merging military bones with futuristic elegance. The original superstructure was replaced with lightweight composites and wraparound glazing, maximizing daylight and views while reducing weight. Powered by twin MTU diesels, YAS reportedly reaches 26 knots—rare pace for a yacht of this length—yet cruises efficiently thanks to the narrow beam and fine entry inherited from her naval platform. Inside, the layout favors large-party cruising, with accommodations often quoted for around sixty guests and more than fifty crew, an elevator linking multiple decks, and expansive lounges, spa and pool areas, and a beach-club stern. A helipad forward underlines her go-anywhere capability. YAS is a serene, high-speed statement that honors naval heritage while looking unapologetically futuristic from bow to stern. #megayacht #superyacht #yachts
