Launched in 2007 by Lemwerder-based German builder Abeking & Rasmussen, they undertook the overall design and interior details, while Reymond Langton were responsible for external styling.[1]
Aviva acts as Lewis's personal mobile office, housing his personal art collection, Lewis has been known to live on Aviva for months at a time. Capable of housing up to 16 guests,[1] the yacht has been refitted on at least two occasions since her 2007 launch.[2]
