Carinthia VII Yacht Charter

About Carinthia VII

The 319ft (97.2m) motor yacht Carinthia VII, built by German shipyard Lürssen in 2002 with exterior and interior styling by Tim Heywood Design, accommodates up to 12 guests across eight cabins with a crew of 30. She sits at the top end of the luxury yacht charter market by both size and rate, and the onboard infrastructure reflects that positioning across every deck.

Carinthia VII suits guests who want a genuinely private superyacht experience with the space to host a charter party of 12 without the group ever feeling on top of each other. At 319ft (97.2m), the deck area alone separates her from vessels a third of her size, and the eight-cabin layout gives even a full charter group meaningful distance between private and shared spaces.

Guest Accommodation

Carinthia VII accommodates up to 12 guests across eight suites, a cabin count that is notably generous relative to guest capacity at this size. The layout includes a master suite, one VIP cabin, two twin cabins, two single cabins, and two flexible cabins that can be configured as either twins or doubles, giving the charter party practical options for mixed groups that include both couples and solo travellers.

The two convertible cabins are a detail worth flagging for groups still finalising their composition: the ability to switch between twin and double configurations before embarkation is handled by the crew during turnover, removing a common planning friction point for charters where guest pairings may not be confirmed until closer to departure. A crew of 30 manages all onboard operations and hospitality, maintaining the standard of service expected at this charter rate.

Onboard Amenities

Onboard amenities on Carinthia VII include a beauty salon, spa, beach club, fully equipped gym, elevator, underwater lighting, Wi-Fi, and full air conditioning throughout. The combination of a spa and beauty salon on the same vessel is less common than the individual amenities suggest: many large charter yachts carry one or the other, and having both reflects the original owner’s brief for extended private voyages rather than short Mediterranean hops.

The elevator is a functional consideration on a vessel of this height, where the distance between the lower guest cabins and the sun deck spans four or five levels. For guests with mobility considerations, or simply for moving equipment and provisions between decks, it changes the daily rhythm of life onboard in ways that become more apparent the longer the charter runs.

Performance & Range

Carinthia VII’s performance profile reflects the full-displacement design typical of Lürssen builds at this length. Four MTU engines deliver a cruising speed of 18 knots and a top speed of 25 knots, with a range of approximately 5,000 nautical miles at 15 knots, giving her the operational reach to reposition between the Caribbean and Mediterranean without a constrained refuelling schedule.

The full-displacement steel hull provides inherent stability at sea, and at-anchor stabilisers extend that comfort to overnight stops in exposed bays. For a charter party spending seven or more nights aboard, the combination of underway stability and at-anchor performance makes a measurable difference to how rested guests feel across the week.

Toys & Water Equipment

Carinthia VII’s water toys list is one of the more comprehensive setups available among charter yachts of this size, covering high-energy individual equipment alongside the kind of group-oriented gear that keeps a full charter party occupied throughout a day at anchor. The Flyboard is a notable inclusion: it is a jet-powered board that lifts the rider above the water surface, and it requires some instruction from the crew to use safely, which is standard practice on yachts that carry one.

Watersports and toys onboard Carinthia VII include:

• Flyboard
• Jet Skis
• WaveRunners (x4)
• Waterskis
• Wakeboards
• Kayaks
• Seabob
• Scuba diving equipment

For shore access and extended excursions, Carinthia VII carries five tenders, led by a 60ft (18.2m) Windy Boats chase tender. A chase tender of this length operates independently as a day vessel, with the range and passenger capacity to run a separate itinerary from the mothership if the charter party wants to split for part of a day.
