## General

Renaissance is a 112-metre motor [yacht](/what-is-a-yacht/) built by Freire Shipyard, delivered in 2023. Freire Shipyard is based in Vigo, on the western coast of Spain, and has been in operation since 1895, progressing from fishing-vessel construction to large commercial and naval builds before completing Renaissance as the flagship of its superyacht output. Renaissance is the largest yacht ever built in Spain by both length and gross tonnage, a distinction confirmed by the shipyard on delivery.

Both the exterior styling and interior design were created by London-based Bannenberg & Rowell Design. The project has a particular history: the original concept was sketched by the late Jon Bannenberg in 1987 but was not pursued at the time; some three decades later the owners returned to the studio, where Dickie Bannenberg carried the commission through to completion. Naval architecture was handled by Marin Teknikk AS, marking the first collaboration between that firm and Bannenberg & Rowell.

The hull is steel and the superstructure aluminium, spread across seven decks with a gross tonnage of 7,200 GT. Renaissance is classed by Lloyd's Register as +100A1, Passenger Yacht, Ice Class 1D, reflecting a construction standard that permits operation in light ice-affected waters as well as temperate cruising grounds. Propulsion is diesel-electric, comprising two 1,940 kW generators and three 874 kW generators driving two azimuth thrusters, giving a cruising speed of 12 knots, a top speed of 16 knots, and a range of 8,600 nautical miles. The bow is certified as a helipad. Renaissance made her public debut at the Monaco Yacht Show in 2024.

### Amenities

On board, Renaissance offers a beach club of 332 square metres at water level, a swimming pool on the main aft deck, a cinema, a jazz bar, a spa, a fitness centre, open-air dining and bar areas, and a selection of custom tenders and water toys. An elevator connects the decks. The yacht was built from the outset for commercial charter use while retaining the considered detail of a privately commissioned vessel.

## Accommodation & Crew

Renaissance accommodates up to 36 guests across 19 staterooms. The [cabin](/what-is-a-cabin/) arrangement includes convertible cabin configurations to suit different group compositions, from couples to multi-generational families or corporate parties. The owner's suite features expansive views, two walk-in wardrobes, and direct access to outdoor areas.

As a fully crewed charter yacht, Renaissance carries a professional crew of approximately 44 to 45 members, including the captain. Guests do not sail the vessel themselves; all seamanship, navigation, and service are handled by the permanent professional crew. Charter rates are quoted from {price_from} per week, plus [APA](/advanced-provisioning-allowance-apa/) and applicable local taxes, shown in full.

## Location

Renaissance operates as a charter vessel across established superyacht cruising grounds. Her Mediterranean programme has covered the western and central Mediterranean, including the waters around Spain, France, and Italy. With her 8,600-nautical-mile range and Ice Class 1D classification, she is equipped for longer passages and higher-latitude destinations beyond the standard Mediterranean and Caribbean circuits, making her suited to expedition-style itineraries as well as classic coastal cruising.
