Hartman Yachts' brand-new Livingstone 24 motoryacht will debut at the HISWA Amsterdam in-water Boat Show.
From 29 August to 3 September, this classic style model will showcase its combination of a vintage appearance with contemporary comfort and performance on the water.
Livingstone 24
The Livingstone 24 is the first superyacht in Hartman Yachts’ classic range. The name of the series pays tribute to the Scottish missionary and explorer Dr David Livingstone, famous for his travels around Africa and tireless work on abolishing the slave trade. Dr Livingstone sailed the first steel boat ever built, the steam launch Ma Robert, during his Zambezi expedition of 1858-1862.
Reminiscent of an old-school luxury ocean liner, the 23.99-metre Livingstone 24 has a full displacement hull and an aluminium superstructure. Its distinctive retro appearance is inspired by classic gentlemen’s yachts of the 1930s, and enhanced with state-of-the-art Dutch design and technology, giving it a minimalist look and feel. This design brief was realised by the designers Niels van Oostenbrugge and Albert Abma of Sheerline.
The Livingstone 24 features first-rate communications and entertainment equipment, a Naiad Fin stabiliser system, a luxury tender and a wide range of watersport toys. The showcased Livingstone 24 is driven by a single screw powered by a 345 hp MAN engine, which has a range of 3000 miles at a speed of 11 knots. The standard version has twin screws powered by two MAN engines of 345 hp each. An internal mooring-pole system makes docking simple and anchoring in shallow waters obsolete. The yacht complies with all EN ISO requirements as a private yacht and has a full CE category A certification.
Accommodation
The large saloon on the main deck is combined with an open galley and integrated dinette. The raised pilothouse provides 360-degree views and an intimate seating area for the family, while maintaining an open connection with the salon and galley. The Livingstone 24 has room for up to nine guests in four cabins. The master cabin forward features a king-sized bed, while the guest accommodations amidships and aft on the lower deck consist of one double, one twin and one bunk bed cabin.
The fully covered aft deck comprises a dining area, a grill and access to the large sundeck, which includes a secluded seating area and table, and can be covered with a canvas awning for protection against the sun. The spacious top deck can easily be transformed from a daytime relaxation area to a dining space.
