L.A.U.L 机动游艇

Five cabins for ten guests and five crew cabins for seven crew is a layout built around service as much as comfort, and L.A.U.L carries the balance through to the captain's cabin, set on the navigation deck rather than down among the crew. Extra Yachts built her in 2019, at 397 gross tons, and the plan reads as an explorer's rather than a marina yacht's.

Build and provenance

Extra Yachts built the X130 Triplex at Palumbo's yard in Savona, with design by Francesco Guida and naval architecture from Studio Rogantin and Palumbo Superyachts. She is an aluminium yacht at 40 metres and 131 feet, construction that keeps weight down over a long hull without giving up strength. She has stayed in private use since her 2019 launch, under a maintained upkeep programme.

Layout and accommodation

Ten guests are accommodated across five cabins: a full-beam master suite on the main deck, three VIP doubles, and a twin cabin on the lower deck. Five crew cabins house seven crew, with the captain's cabin kept apart on the navigation deck, a separation that puts the running of the yacht on its own deck rather than beside the guests.

Performance and engineering

Twin engines rated at 3,600 hp cruise L.A.U.L at 12 knots and take her to 17 flat out, power built for covering distance rather than for a quick dash to a lunch spot. Stabilisers work both underway and at anchor, so she sits as steady off a beach as she does making passage.

On deck and at anchor

The sundeck carries the jacuzzi and a separate dip pool, and the upper deck adds an outdoor bar within reach of the sunpads, spreading the outdoor living across more than one level rather than concentrating it aft. A tender garage below keeps the toys out of sight until they are needed, and a swimming platform gives easy water access at anchor.

Where she lies and how to see her

L.A.U.L lies in Bandol, on the south coast of France. Boatcrowd sets up the viewing and is there for it with you, and once you make an accepted offer we bring in the surveyor and organise the sea trial.
