VERA is a 52-meter custom Abeking & Rasmussen with exterior styling by Espen Oeino, one of the most prolific superyacht designers working today, and the build quality that has made her a benchmark for German engineering. Delivered in 2000 (previously named Peri), she was refitted in 2009 and underwent significant work in 2024, including a complete engine overhaul, a full repaint of the hull and superstructure, and new carpets throughout the main and upper deck interiors. Her steel hull and aluminum superstructure carry a gross tonnage of 887, a generous figure for a 52-meter vessel that translates into noticeably spacious interiors. Twin Caterpillar 3516 engines deliver a top speed of 17 knots at a cruising speed of 15 knots, with a range of 4,000 nautical miles.
The interior by Luigi Sturchio and Athanasios Kyratsou blends Italian classicism with rich detailing. Contrasting dark woods and light fabrics create a warm, layered feel throughout. The main salon offers generous lounge seating and a formal dining area, with large windows and glass sliding doors that flood the space with natural light and open up panoramic views from inside. Six ensuite staterooms accommodate 12 guests: a full-beam master suite on the main deck with a king bed, jacuzzi, sauna, his-and-hers bathrooms, and walk-in closets; a private office; two VIP cabins; and three doubles with beds that convert to twin configuration. A dedicated gym, sundeck jacuzzi, and multiple outdoor dining areas across three decks complete the guest experience. A crew of 13 in seven cabins on the lower deck ensures attentive service.
VERA offers Abeking & Rasmussen construction and an Espen Oeino exterior at a price point that places her well below comparable vessels from the yard. The 2024 engine overhaul and repaint address the two most significant cost concerns buyers face with a 25-year-old yacht and leave her presented in a condition that reflects the recent investment. VERA is currently in Greece, and available for viewing.
VERA is currently located in Greece in Alimos, Attica Region.
