Quattroelle is an 86m Lürssen delivered in 2013, 12 guests in 7 cabins, asking €950K to €1.1M per week Mediterranean peak as of May 2026, plus 30 percent APA and VAT where applicable. She is the rate-efficient Lürssen at the 85m-plus end of the charter market, and the answer for a charter party that wants German-yard build pedigree without paying the Madsummer or Lana premium. The case for her is build quality at a 2013 price tag. The case against her is everything that has changed in yacht design since 2013 (volume, beach club expectations, sundeck pool sizing) that she does not have to the same degree as a 2019 or 2021 build.
This piece is the detail. Specs, the rate and APA picture, the crew profile and service style, where the build year shows up in the brief, and the comparables that should be on the shortlist alongside her.
Specs
86.0m LOA, 13.8m beam, 4.0m draft,. Steel hull, aluminium superstructure. Built by Lürssen at Bremen, exterior design by Nuvolari Lenard, interior by Nuvolari Lenard. Delivered May 2013. Refit. The Nuvolari Lenard exterior is the design signature. The dark hull, the sweeping sheer line, and the wide foredeck pad are immediately recognisable. Inside the brief is more classical European than the post-2018 design wave toward bleached oak and rope.
The 4.0m draft is the structural advantage. It is shallower than Nirvana's 4.7m and comparable to Here Comes the Sun's 4.0m. The Cyclades inner bays, the Croatian-archipelago tighter coves, and the southern Sardinian protected spots are workable. For an 86m yacht the draft is a real itinerary expansion, and it is the most useful spec on the brochure for a charter client whose week is anywhere east of Cap Corse.
Twelve guests across 7 cabins. Main-deck owner suite forward with a private terrace, a study, and his-and-hers bathrooms. Six lower-deck guest cabins (two VIPs, three doubles, one twin-convertible). The 7-cabin layout matches Lana, which is the comparable for size-class layout. For a 12-adult party across six couples plus a single, the layout fits.
Crew complement is. Captain, two officers, three engineers, six interior, five deck, two chefs. Helicopter pad on the foredeck, certified for touch-and-go. No on-board hangar. Two tenders (a limousine and a sport), four jet skis, two Seabobs, dive compressor, full water-toy locker. Beach club at the stern with opening transom and fold-out side platforms.
Stabilisation underway by. At-anchor stabilisers fitted from new,. The at-anchor system is one of the items the 2013 Lürssen build brief got right early. Most pre-2015 charter yachts in this size class need a refit to install zero-speed stabilisers. Quattroelle had them from delivery.
The rate, what it covers, and the APA picture
Asking €950K to €1.1M per week Mediterranean peak (July through early September), €820K to €950K shoulder (mid-May to mid-June, mid-September to mid-October), Caribbean season €900K to €1.05M (December through April). Rates as of May 2026 via the central agent. The Christmas and New Year Caribbean weeks run higher and book first.
APA at 30 percent. On a €1.0M base that is €300K. Mediterranean charters on Quattroelle reconcile at 65 to 75 percent of APA, with the balance refunded. Helicopter operations are typically delivery-only, so the helicopter swing on APA is contained. Fuel pass-through is the larger variable, and Lürssen propulsion at this build year is efficient compared to older equivalents.
All-in for a Mediterranean peak week (charter fee, realistic APA at 70 percent, gratuity at 10 to 12 percent) lands around €1.45M to €1.7M. Compared to Madsummer at €2.0M to €2.2M, Quattroelle is the €300K to €500K-per-week step down with the same Lürssen DNA. The trade is the build year and the deck volume, not the build pedigree.
VAT is the standard Mediterranean structure. French portions at 20 percent with the 50/50 offset on qualifying itineraries, Italian portions at 22 percent, Croatian at 13 percent, Greek at 12 percent.
The captain, the crew, and the food
Captain. Crew tenure on the interior side is reported as steady. Chief stewardess. The service style is Lürssen-charter standard, more structured than a Feadship in private mode and a touch quieter than the high-end Imperial-managed delivery. For charter clients coming from Madsummer or Lana, the service rhythm will feel familiar but less choreographed.
The galley is sized for the 12-guest cap with overhead. The executive chef brief is workable for multi-cuisine weeks. We have reviewed charter weeks where the chef ran a Mediterranean-and-Asian split across the week with sourcing within 200km of the anchorage. The chef brief is captain-dependent. The current executive chef. Confirm what the chef can run on inquiry.
Where the build year shows up
This is the part that matters for a charter client comparing her to Madsummer or Here Comes the Sun. Quattroelle is a 2013 build and that year is in the brief in three places.
First, the beach club is functional but smaller than what 2018-and-later builds have made standard. The fold-out side platforms work. The sea-level lounge is more limited. For a charter party that uses the beach club as the primary social space, this is a real downgrade compared to Madsummer or Flying Fox. For a party that uses the beach club primarily as a swim-in-and-out point, the size is non-binding.
Second, the sundeck pool is on the small side and is more a plunge than a swimming pool. This is consistent with 2013 design conventions. The deck volume that newer yachts dedicate to the sundeck pool, Quattroelle dedicates to other amenities.
Third, the AV and connectivity have been refreshed in the 2018 or 2020 refit, depending on which year you trust the broker on. The AV is current. The hull and the propulsion are not. For a charter client this matters less than the brochure suggests, but it is worth knowing.
What needs work
Two things. First, the cinema is sized for eight, not twelve. The 12-guest movie night splits across the cinema and the salon. Second, the gym is on the small side and lacks natural light. Crew can set up a flybridge outdoor gym on request, but the standing gym is dim. Both caveats are typical of yachts in her size class and build year.
A third caveat worth naming. Top speed is in the 18 knot range, cruise around 15. This is faster than Talisman C and comparable to Madsummer. For Mediterranean and Caribbean inter-island runs the cruise buffer is adequate.
What we have passed on
We have passed on a recitation of the Nuvolari Lenard interior brief. The materials and the finish are what you would expect at a 2013 Lürssen delivery in this tier. Cataloguing the marble and the lacquer does not help a charter client choose her. We have also passed on owner-narrative reporting. Public reporting on the beneficial owner is, and the charter quality is independent.
Comparables
Madsummer at 95m Lürssen. Larger, newer (2019), and €350K to €500K more per week. The step-up for a charter party that wants the deck volume and the post-2018 beach club design.
Here Comes the Sun at 89m Amels. Newer (2017), shallower beam and similar draft, and €400K to €600K more per week. The cross-yard alternative if the Lürssen pedigree is not the deciding factor.
Nirvana at 88m Oceanco. Older Oceanco with a 2017 refit, €100K to €250K cheaper, and a tighter calendar. The rate-efficient cross-yard alternative.
Lana at 107m Benetti. Materially larger, materially higher rate. The aspirational comparable. Same operating culture (Imperial-managed) if you want a similar service signature at the larger end.
Booking pattern
Prime Mediterranean July and August weeks book 8 to 12 months out, with shoulder weeks workable at 3 to 5 months. Caribbean season at 5 to 8 months. Cancellation slots open occasionally and clear at posted rate, with shoulder cancellations attracting 5 to 10 percent reductions in some years.
If you are looking for a sub-€1.1M base Lürssen at 85m-plus and you can accept the 2013 build year, Quattroelle is the rate-efficient answer in this size class. The case against her is the deck volume relative to newer alternatives. If your party uses the beach club and the sundeck pool as primary social spaces, look at Madsummer instead.
