The brand new 101-metre motor yacht V853 was launched at the Kusch Yachts shipyard in Germany on November 6, 2014. Developed by Vega Yachts, the impressive 101m mega yacht V853 features exterior design as well as naval architecture by The A group, with interior design by Studio Massari.
Mr. Richard HEIN CEO of The A group / VegaYachts, has issued the following statement: “V853 is the first VegaYachts with a design and naval architecture by The A group. The contract for this construction was signed at the end of 2011 with Kusch Yachts with a keel laying in February 2012. Since then, we have worked closely with the shipyard, the interior designer (Studio Massari) and the owner’s team to ensure the vessel is built to the highest North-European/German quality and meets the owner’s expectations. This launching is an important step in the construction process and we are now all concentrating our efforts in the finalization of the interior outfitting.”
