Latin Allure

Schaefer Yachts’ 560 enters a crowded flybridge market with a zesty take on the luxury cruising lifestyle.

Numarine 78HTS

Numarine’s 78HTS is an evolution of the builder’s 78HT model.

Pearl 75: Luxe on the Fly

In today’s market, it is crucial to stand out from the crowd, and the Pearl 75, from the drawing board of British naval architecht Bill Dixon, is fitted with pod drives—in this case, a pair of ZF 4000-series units coupled to 1,250-horsepower MTU diesels. Along with the computer-controlled maneuverability that this system offers, it also allows the engines to be mounted well aft in the hull to make space for exceptionally roomy accommodations belowdecks.

Astondoa 72 GLX: Out of Iberia

So how about the 72 GLX? She’s a little bit boxy at first glance. But that aesthetic tradeoff manifests itself in other areas that, for my money, more than makes up for anything lost. Like, for instance, the 6-foot 10-inch headroom that pervades the main deck.

Miami 2013: Galeon Raptor 700

The newest iteration of the Galeon 700 owes its looks to Tony Castro and the Galeon shipyard, and now it comes with a flybridge. A sea trial onboard convinced us that the Polish builder knows just how to thrill.

Miami 2013: Ferretti 870

The new Ferretti 870 is available in two options: roll bar or a hard top over the flybridge. Either way, the flybridge is attractive, with lounging space aplenty, dinette and exterior helm. The Jacuzzi aft can be used to cool off or, topped up with cushion, to expand the already large sunpad.

Miami 2013: Sunreef 82 Double Deck

Superyachts, and particularly their sprawling decks, inspired Sunreef’s new 82-foot Double Deck sailing catamaran, Houbara.A 377-square-foot (35-square meter) flybridge —which includes the main helm station—tops the deckhouse, and the interior features a sumptuous owner’s suite.
