80 Millionen Dollar: Megayacht eines Schweizer Milliardärs läuft Wismar an

• Holger Glaner

Luxus pur und einen Hauch von Côte d’Azur verspricht ein spektakulärer Schiffsbesuch in Wismar . Am Abend des 23. August lief die  Megayacht „Vive La Vie“  den Hafen der Hansestadt Wismar an. Die Motoryacht gehört einem Schweizer Unternehmer und Milliardär, dessen Unternehmen Ypsomed auch einen Produktionsstandort in Schwerin betreibt.

Die unter der Flagge der Cayman Islands in der Westkaribik fahrende Luxusyacht wurde von Lürssen Yachts in Bremen gebaut und im Jahr 2009 an seinen Eigentümer übergeben. Der aktuelle Wert liegt nach Recherchen unserer Zeitung bei 80 Millionen US-Dollar. Die jährlichen Betriebskosten sollen sich zwischen fünf und acht Millionen US-Dollar bewegen.

Die Yacht misst stolze 60 Meter und ist damit fast doppelt so lang wie die Poeler Kogge Wissemara: Diese kommt auf 35 Meter Länge. Zwölf Gäste können in sechs Kabinen der „Vive La Vie“ untergebracht werden, die Besatzung besteht aus 18 Mitgliedern. Die große Eignerkabine verfügt unter anderem über zwei Badezimmer, zwei Umkleidekabinen und eine Lobby. Das Esszimmer soll eine ungewöhnliche Besonderheit aufweisen: Ein Esstisch aus Krokodilleder, der an die Decke gehoben werden kann, um den Raum als Disco nutzen zu können.

Die „Vive La Vie“ soll den Liegeplatz 17 nach städtischen Angaben bis voraussichtlich 17. September einnehmen. Zuvor hatte die Motoryacht aus dem polnischen Danzig kommend auch in Sassnitz und im Rostocker Stadthafen einen kurzen Zwischenstopp eingelegt. In Wismar soll die Yacht in Eigenverantwortung der Schiffsbesatzung rund um die Uhr besetzt sein und bewacht werden.

Aufenthalt wohl wegen Werkserweiterung in Schwerin

Eigentümer der 60 Meter langen und bis zu 15,5 Knoten – rund 29 km/h – schnellen Privatyacht ist der Schweizer Unternehmer und Milliardär Willy Michel.

Der 77-Jährige ist Präsident des Verwaltungsrats der Ypsomed Holding AG aus dem schweizerischen Burgdorf, die einen Produktionsstandort in Schwerin betreibt. Gut möglich also, dass der dreieinhalbwöchige Aufenthalt des Unternehmers mit der Erweiterung des Standorts des Medizintechnikunternehmens zu tun hat. 60 neue Arbeitsplätze sollen neben den bereits vorhandenen 150 in Schwerin entstehen.

Quick Enquiry

"I once had a client who told me, “I will put your name on the side of my boat if it’s good, but if the boat is not good, your name will appear three times as big.” We were brought up with the sense that it is a very personal obligation for the family when we sign a contract to deliver a yacht that the client expects. I cannot go to a client and say “One of my guys made a mistake.” He would say “Is he Mr. Lürssen, or are you Mr. Lürssen?” But a successful delivery is also a great reward. I take the relationships of my clients very personally." - Peter Lürssen of Lürssen Yachts (courtesy SuperYachtTimes)
