Master with Jacuzzi , private terrace, lounge area/ and study which can be converted to a double. All the double beds are king size. All suites are equipped with a television, DVD, stereo and ipod dock, mini bar, safe, air-conditioning/ heating, a vanity table/desk, a computer point and wifi, relaxing chairs, saloon table, a very spacious walk-in closet, bathroom with toilet, bidet, bath (Jacuzzi), double basin and shower Main-deck: Once you set foot on the gangway, you will be surprised by the beautiful details, the enormous deck areas, astonishing woodwork and the incredible choice of outside furniture! We are sure you have never experienced a view as marvelous as the one from the look-out house. The Jacuzzi is very big (18 people)and of course we have a complete B.B.Q. area When you finally come inside, you will be surprised by the beam of the yacht. The main saloon is about 20 meters long and 9 meters wide. The style is cozy and, what we think is the most important, homely. Every single guest on MY Sherakhan must immediately have the feeling that this is their home and can relax the way they want! This is the way we chartered M.Y. Jaguar for many years, and with a lot of success. The main saloon is visually divided into two areas; On one side we find the dining area; with a beautiful table, where 22/24 people can be seated. On both sides of the dining table there are 2 impressive stairs which lead you to the owners deck. When you sit at the dining table and look up, you will be impressed by the atrium. You can look completely to the roof of the yacht where the Jacuzzi with glass bottom is situated. The enormous chandelier is of course specially designed for this area of 7 meters of height. The other side of the saloon is furnished to relax. Nice cozy couches, homely armchairs, enormous vases, a fireplace, a flat screen television, a bar where you can sit down to enjoy your drinks and of course a little podium with a white grand piano. Although the area is big, you will never have the chance to feel “lost”. From this area you have a nice view on the aft deck where the outside dining table is situated. When you walk through this area and pass the dining table, you will enter the vestibule. Here you can choose to go down to the beauty saloon and the suites on the accommodation deck or even go to the fitness-massage, sauna and Jacuzzi on the lower deck. When you go straight on from the vestibule, you will first meet the ladies room on one side and on the other side the library. After passing a door, you will come to the corridor on which has 2 spacious suites on each side. All four of them have are in the region of 38 square meters with an en-suite bathroom with bath and showers as well. (The size of 38 m2 is only the suite; it does not include the bathroom!) The suites: Our feeling about a big yacht is that also the suites must be large! When guests want to have some privacy, not only during the night…, they must experience all the luxury of a 5 star+ accommodation and of course be surrounded by a nicely furnished and decorated ambiance. All the double beds are king size. All suites are equipped with a television, DVD, stereo, mini bar, safe, air-conditioning/ heating, a vanity table/desk, a computer point, relaxing chairs, saloon table, a very spacious walk-in closet, bathroom with toilet, bidet, bath (Jacuzzi), double basin and shower. The way the woodwork is done, is astonishing! Nice and with unexpected details….. Accommodation deck: On the accommodation deck, you will find 4 suites. The smallest is 34 m2 and the biggest 37,3 m2. They are fitted just like all the others. You also will find two bunked cabins these can be either children’s themed cabins, ( or for security staff / adults. as the beds are 2m long. These cabins are connected with the 2 suites next door, but can also be used completely separately. The last area of importance on this deck is the beauty saloon. The beauty saloon is also fully equipped hair- and nail studio. So the guests can be pampered as much as they want! Lower deck: When you walk down the stairs, at the end of the corridor on the accommodation deck, you will enter a world of body pleasure! First take a drink at the bar to get used to the idea of exercise, then some fitness on the most modern equipment, followed by a well-deserved massage, going into the sauna to give your body the most precious rest and end up in the Jacuzzi to cool down! What more can a person wish for…..? Apart from all the equipment available here, the area in which this is situated is a feast for the eyes. Because of its location, completely in the front of the ship, below decks, the area is built like an American loft. Something like this hasn’t been shown before, the fantastic mosaics will amaze you. Owners deck: We leave this deck and follow our “tour” to the saloon on the owners deck. The one you can reach from the vestibule on the main deck or with the stairs besides the dining table. When you come by the 2 enormous stairs, your attention will be attracted by the spectacular view down on the dining table. There is a vacant space of 6 meters long and 3 meters wide! In this way, the areas are not completely separated but in a creative way connected with each other. The saloon is further furnished with exclusive and comfortable chairs, a bar with an integrated piano and a dance floor for the people who cannot control their feet! During the day time, this area will be quite popular! Reading and relaxing when the sun is too hot or having a drink or playing some chess. During the night this saloon will be perfect for having swinging cocktails before dinner. In the meantime the crew can set a wonderful decorated table and the guests will be surprised when they walk down the stairs to enjoy their dinner! Besides the saloon, this deck contains 2 suites of 31 m2 and 1 Master Cabin of almost 51 m2! This deck is completely outfitted for the owner with a huge study. Like the name reveals, this will be a Masterpiece! Located completely in the front of the ship, with an amazing view over the sea, this cabin has even its own terrace! The Jacuzzi is in the middle of the room, apart from the bathroom. The special effect of this cabin must be seen to be believed! The outer deck on the owners deck will have comfortable chairs, footstools and even table lamps for the people who want be outside at night and enjoy a good book or just want to sit in silence and enjoy the stars……… On every outer deck there will be music, when wanted. Wheelhouse-deck: The last deck is the wheelhouse deck. You can reach this deck from the corridor on the owners deck or from outside. On this deck the wheelhouse is situated, but the most important of all……..the Jacuzzi, loads of deck chairs, a bar, a B.B.Q. area, shade for the burnt ones and of course the look-out house!!!! Between the 2 funnels, we created a real look-out house. Once you are up there, you will be taken by surprise!!! The height of this location will be 20 meters above the waterline, so you can easily imagine what sort of view you can have up there! A 360° view for the star watchers, this is the ultimate spot….

Owner reflects on 77m 'Legend' conversion

The 77m superyacht from icon yachts celebrated her official christening in harlingen, where we speak to her owner about the project.….

Image for article Owner reflects on 77m 'Legend' conversion

Despite the fact that she has already completed three charter trips with Camper & Nicholsons following her launch in April, the converted ice breaker was back in the 150m dry dock at Icon Yachts for a christening party on Friday 28 October, 2016, as she made final preparations to spend the winter 2016-17 season in Antarctica, complete with mini sub and snow scooters on board.

Her owner, Jan Verkerk of Verkerk Yachting Projects, has worked as a captain and marine engineer most of his working life. As the owner of the charter motoryacht  Sherakhan and sailing yacht  Lady Thuraya , he has been a pioneer in promoting expedition charters to far-flung destinations.

“I’m not your regular superyacht owner,” says Verkerk. “This is my business and every cent I put into a project I have to earn back.” 

Legend began life as a Soviet ice-breaking tug in the 1970s, but after breaking down in an American port she was abandoned and eventually converted into the explorer yacht Giant . A major fire on board later destroyed the owner’s deck and the wheelhouse and the yacht was out of commission for years – until Jan Verkerk identified her as a suitable candidate for refitting.

“We had run charters to Antarctica with Sherakhan , but I was looking for a no-nonsense, Ice Class vessel that could also have a certified helideck, a swimming pool, a mini submarine, and still carry at least 24 passengers.”

Giant arrived at Icon yachts in 2014 and work began to extend the stern by nearly 4m, restyle the exterior profile with Diana Yacht Design, completely refit the interior and re-class her under SOLAS and Passenger Yacht regulations.  The conversion was realised in record time and last spring Legend left the yard for her first charter trip to northern Europe without time for an official send-off.

“A client once told me that yacht ownership is not rational,” said Jen Wartena, CEO of Icon Yachts, during his address. “But Jan Verkerk brings rationality to the process. This was not by any means a straightforward refit, but Jan always had the final goal in sight. Backed up by a very special team, he started and finished it.”  

Also moored in front of the Icon shipyard is the empty hull and superstructure of 75m Project 250. The yacht (formerly known as M25 ) has had a checkered past after construction at Cantieri San Marco in Genoa stalled with no indication as to why. The owner reportedly sold his interest in the project and the yacht was removed from the shipyard under tow, but was impounded in Gibraltar en route. It then turned up at the Nobiskrug facility in Rendsburg.

In 2015 Icon announced it had been commissioned by an experienced owner to extend the bow and stern under the guidance of her original designer, Tim Heywood, and add new features such as a swimming pool and foredeck helipad. The project is scheduled to be completed in early 2017 with interior design by Studio Massari.

Other projects include the 28m Icon Islander, designed by Ken Freivokh and currently for sale with Northrup & Johnson, and the 46m Gotham Project with Bristow Holmes. The black-painted Gotham Project, designed by Ivan Erdevicki with naval architecture by van Oossanen, has been styled to resemble something out of Batman to match her owner’s matte black Lamborghini.

Yachting pioneer since 1980.

At a young age Jan developed a great passion for engineering and boats. By the age of eight 8, his father gifted him a small wooden sailing boat. Sailing the Dutch canals and locks marked the first steps of a lifetime career. Buying old boats and fixing them became his hobby. No surprise that Jan would make his hobby his business. Through the years Jan got his captain and engineering licences, strengthening his already extraordinary detailed understanding of every aspect of yacht building and operation. Today, Jan owns a fleet of superyachts. Each one impeccably upgraded by himself. All available for charter all year-round.

Motor Yachts - SHERAKHAN

About Giga Yacht SHERAKHAN: Giga Yacht SHERAKHAN (69.65m / 228’) is a dream come through for anyone looking for a special occasion venue. With the latest refit in 2010/11, she has numerous facilities which can only be found on a super yacht of this size. The most impressive of them all are the massive 7m atrium flooded in natural light which filters down through the glass bottomed Jacuzzi, the 18-seater Jacuzzi itself as well as the watch house located just above the sundeck, which provides feeling of freedom and belonging when standing more than 60’ above the water line. Sherakhan is an impressive mega yacht and she towers high above most other yachts on the quay, allowing her guests to enjoy a bird’s-eye view wherever she anchors. She is also one of the largest-capacity charter yachts in the world.   Although she is normally available in the more traditional cruising areas of the West Mediterranean and the Eastern Caribbean, Sherakhans crew will be keen to accept charters further afield. Once in a lifetime sailing adventure to places like Western Caribbean, South America around Patagonia, Antarctica, French Polynesia, Asia, or Panama channel and Galapagos under circumstances, are all going to be considered.   More about SHERAKHAN: This boat came into being thanks to a visionary owner. Given the limitations most charter yachts have, with a space for maximum of up to 12 guests sleeping and cruising, there was a need for more boats which can cater for larger parties, extended families, celebrity teams or corporate events.  As a result, Sherakhans’ new owner, the Dutch Jan Verkerk, who previously owned the 37m super yacht Jaguar, was inspired to create a new type of mega charter yacht. First and foremost, this boat was supposed to be offering accommodation for more than 20 guests while meeting all international regulations for taking more than the typical 12 charter guests on board. The result was purchase of the abandoned Princess Margaret ship and her transformation in what she is today, the SHERAKHAN, one of the finest giga yachts available for mega yacht charter in the world. Holiday: On board of Sherakhan, you are free to enjoy the best holiday on earth and to experience the finest life as if you were a queen or a king in your own floating palace. The spacious deck areas offer plenty of room to sunbathe in luxury. The one of a kind Jacuzzi on the sun deck, if used only by yourself and those close to your heart will allow you to you experience the best feeling in the world. You can dine outdoors on the upper deck of the yacht enjoying your meal with the uninterrupted sea views, or for special occasions arrange a party or in the fabulous dining room spread across two different decks.  Whatever you wish to do, our charter broker, your captain and the professional super yacht crew will make it happen. Business: Conference or a corporate event on giga yacht SHERAKHAN is likely to enhance the success of your special occasion.  Business facilities such as telephone, internet, PC and fax are readily available. Facilities: The summary of best features on board of giga yacht Sherakhan:

  • Accommodation for up to 26 guests in finest of surroundings including themed cabins,
  • Genuine super yacht presence and splendid blue hull,
  • Fabulous two-level formal dining room,
  • Massive sundeck with an 18 person Jacuzzi,
  • Attentive 20 person super yacht crew on board,
  • Massive 7m atrium flooded in natural light,
  • Glass bottomed, 18-seater Jacuzzi,
  • Watch house located just above the sundeck,
  • A private library, sauna, indoor gymnasium.

Accommodation: Giga Yacht SHERAKHAN offers flexible accommodation on board for up to 26 guests. This mega yacht charter boat has one owner’s suite, 1 VIP, 4 double and 2 convertible (twin/double) 2 twin cabins and 2 bunk/twin super luxury suites.  The owner’s cabin: The one of a kind master cabin  includes a revolving bed, an amazing private terrace, a Jacuzzi and a lounge area/study. The study can be converted into an independent double room with its own en suite. Thanks to its carefully chosen position in front of the ship, the owners’ suite is most impressive, offering a view from one of the upper decks of almost every angle surrounding Sherakhan herself. The sumptuous bathroom includes a hot tub surrounded by unique, mosaic tiles. You will also find a private office with all the necessary gadgets in there. Uniquely, this brilliant stateroom is probably the largest and most impressive cabins aboard any super yachts available for yacht charter worldwide. It is almost guaranteed that whoever will sleep in Sherakhan’s master suite, they are bound to feel like the masters of the sea.  You must see it to believe it.

The elegant exterior of SHERAKHAN was designed by Verkerk Yachting Projects. Her white, sleek design cuts through the water with finesse, and if you were to find yourself on board, there are a plethora of water toys to entertain you.

Waterslides along the side of the vessel, jet skis, kayaks, and wakeboards are just some of the things there are to choose from.

Her exterior spaces are very large, and there’s a lookout house where you can enjoy the view.

The overwhelmingly white exterior was a conscious choice from the owner, who wanted people to be able to see every detail of the vessel, and not have the nuances be lost due to darker colors.

The SHERAKHAN yacht is available for charter in Northern Europe in both Summer and Winter. The weekly rate for a charter is approximately $510,500.

1965 – Yacht launched as Princess Margaret
