Update We all know that the Lauren L has been under extensive refit and re-emerged into the charter scene at the end of April in time for the Genoa Charter Show. The operators of the Lauren L now do have a few new pictures of the revitalized yacht and she does indeed look quite nice inside and out. They did a great job. Outside of the Lauren L, the same operators, Liveras Yachts have plans to construct two very large 350 foot yachts to be put on the charter circuit. These yachts will be very near sisters similar to how the Alysia and Delma are near sisters.
