The Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection and Chantiers de l’Atlantique shipyard in France celebrated the keel laying of the third superyacht in the fleet, Luminara, this week.

The Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection has opened bookings for its first season operating its entire fleet of three superyachts.

The Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection marked a significant construction milestone this week with a steel-cutting ceremony for its newest superyacht, Luminara, at the Chantiers de l’Atlantique shipyard in Saint-Nazaire, France. Luminara is the company’s third yacht and second newbuild constructed by the Chantiers de l’Atlantique shipyard, slated to set sail in 2025.

The new executive positioning will further bolster operational and strategic initiatives as expansion and growth accelerate

The Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection’s Founder and CEO, Douglas Prothero, is stepping down from his current leadership position after 10 years leading the company.

The Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection is moving forward with the previously earmarked expansion of its fleet, cementing an order for vessels two and three with French shipyard Chantiers de l’Atlantique.
