Originally delivered by Abeking & Rasmussen in 2012, the 60.9-metre Excellence V remains one of the most voluminous yachts in her size. Sold asking €69,500,000 with Chris Cecil-Wright representing the buyer and Burgess and Merle Wood & Associates as central agents, the yacht has been now renamed Arience.

The vessel was originally built for American billionaire Herb Chambers, becoming his fifth superyacht. The automotive dealership mogul estimated at $1.5 billion by Forbes, held Excellence V as his flagship since she had been built. The vessel was listed for sale in April 2018, ahead of the delivery of an impressive 88-metre Project Intensity. The latter is also being built at Abeking, planned for delivery in 2020.
Built to steel hull and aluminium superstructure, Arience features a beam of 12.8 metres and a draft of 3.4 metres. With her large interior volume of 1,632 GT, Arience offers accommodation to 12 guests in six cabins. Her interiors were designed by Reymond Langton, also responsible for the superyacht’s exteriors.

Arience comes complete multiple on-board amenities, including a dedicated cinema and waterfront gym, oversized beach club, full owner's deck and multiple outdoor lounge areas with spa pool.
She is propelled by engines of 2005 HP each, giving her a maximum speed of 16 knots and a cruising speed of 13 knots.

Nonetheless, Aience will stay available for charter. Among other large vessels by German shipyard, that have recently chainged their owners, 82-metre Kibo also stands out, asking €129 million at the time of her sale.
