When Sunreef introduced the 82 Double Deck as a more fuel-efficient alternative to a motoryacht, little did the company executives imagine the first buyers would be a couple dissatisfied with their own powerboat—or that they would take the catamaran, christened Houbara, around the world.
Benetti’s new Classic Supreme 132 is all her overstated model designation promises, ‘plus some.’
AB Yachts, part of the Fipa Group of Italian shipyards, has been specializing in swift, slender-looking open yachts for some time. The AB 116 is the second largest model in the lineup, mixing familiar features with unexpected ones.
We did a little snooping around a few shipyards to find out what they’re hiding. What we found were extraordinary designers and amazing craftsmen laboring in the shadows of the big yachts. We have the inside scoop.
The Tommy Bahama label evokes coastal living and the island life. As you think Tommy Bahama, images of swaying palm trees and loose-fitting silk shirts emblazoned with jumping marlins probably float to mind, but rustic hand-hewed cabins and Adirondack chairs? Probably not.
Using the seaside as her inspiration, designer Sylvia Bolton has given the Cheoy Lee 88, the newest tri-deck in the shipyard’s Bravo series, universal appeal.
Okko is one of the latest yachts to launch at Mondo Marine, now with offices in North America. This elegant yacht, with exemplary engineering by Mondo Marine and design by Giorgio Vafiadis, made a notable debut in Monaco.
Lürssen delivered Lady Kathryn V to owners with extensive yacht experience. Adam Lay created the interior for this Øino-designed belle. The yacht is at home in Palm Beach, Fla., as she would be in the English countryside. While part of a “series,” she is truly one of a kind.
This is no myth. The next Riva to set the tone for years to come will be a 27-knot, 122-foot aluminum planing yacht, and it will be built in Ancona, Italy, at the CRN shipyard.
It’s a gorgeous cool day under a clear blue Miami sky and I’m on board the new Fairline Targa 62GT. It’s my second chance to explore this sleek boat, which debuted at the 2012 Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show. While I had a good tour then, there’s nothing like experiencing a boat in motion to truly appreciate the thought behind the design.
