IT USED TO BE THAT IF YOU WANTED a truly custom experience out on the water, you had to spend years building a custom superyacht at only the biggest size ranges. Oh, how times have changed.

¶ In the case of Lemanja, the owner had a vision of autonomy in the most remote locations, including substantial noise reduction so the yacht would feel like a home for the six people on board. An alternative power source reduces the environmental footprint, according to the yard, which also installed advanced stabilizer systems to add comfort for anyone prone to seasickness.
