A guide to the September-October edition of Private Yacht Vacations
After obtaining various qualifications in culinary arts, wine appreciation, confectionary and hospitality practices, Rosemann began her career as a commis chef at the Rhodes in the Square restaurant in London, a French-influenced fine-dining establishment led by celebrity chef Gary Rhodes. See what Master Sommelier Virginia Philip pairs with Rosemann’s creative menu.
Charter broker LeAnn Morris Pliske discovered in early July that some of her favorite charter yachts were already booked for the Christmas and New Year’s charter weeks in the Caribbean. It was like she had time-warped back to 2005 or 2006, before the global economic crash, when clients had to book six months to a year in advance in order to get a top-notch yacht and crew for a winter-holiday charter in the Caribbean.
Looking for a new yacht to charter? Checkmate, M&M and Imperial Princess have joined the global charter fleet and may be just the thing for your next vacation.
Touch has become a near-universal interface. Marine electronics companies are responding both by extending system monitoring and control to mobile devices such as iPads and by bringing touchscreen gestures to a yacht’s dedicated systems screens.
A new reality series set to debut July 1 on Bravo is documenting crew life aboard a 164-foot charter yacht called Honor.
Twenty years ago, Boston Whalers and RIBs were as popular with large-yacht buyers as they were with boaters who owned just these craft. They served as occasional toys or were used for utilitarian purposes by the mothership’s crew, and sometimes both. The more yachts grew in size, though, the more time they started spending at anchor. Suddenly, owners found themselves needing a better way of getting to and from shore.
Italian businessman Carmelo Zocco had plans for a new performance cruiser steeped in his homeland’s style-focused culture. He called on Sarasota, Florida’s Michael Peters Yacht Design and asked succinctly for “balance between elegance and aggression—a boat that was dynamic, functional and unique.” Five years later, in 2011, the Revolver 42 made its debut.
At the Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show last year, the Rodriguez Group showcased a yacht never seen on this side of the Atlantic, the Cerri 102. The 102 was also in Cannes, alongside smaller sistership Cerri 86.
Oceanco’s 290-foot (88.5-meter) Nirvana is a superyacht tour de force. Her distinctive profile cuts an imposing figure whether at anchor in Saint-Tropez or alongside the dock in Monaco. With her dark-blue hull, her flared bow, the swooping notch in her sheerline, and her bright caprails and transom, she is a standout anywhere she goes.
