Making Waves: 2012 Antigua Charter Yacht Show

Three marinas near Antigua’s English and Falmouth Harbors welcomed 95 charter yachts for the annual Antigua Charter Yacht Show in December. Motor and sailing yachts from 58 to 229 feet competed for about 300 industry professionals’ attention.

Making Waves: A+R’s Big Secret

Sam Sorgiovanni has designed this 272-foot (83-meter) yacht. While Abeking + Rasmussen is mum about the project, Burgess has let it out that this beauty will launch in May.

How Venus Came To Be: An Interview with Designer Philippe Starck

A boat lover from a young age, this superstar and prolific designer usually lives on a boat or near the water where he can easily hop onto one of seven craft of all persuasions that he owns. Surprisingly, though the ocean is central to his life, he has only designed a handful of boats and yachts to date.

Making Waves: Nauta Air 88

We recently brought you an inside look at Cantiere delle Marche’s (CdM) Darwin 86. Aside from that series, the Italian shipyard, represented in the United States by Worth Avenue Yachts has worked with noted design firm Nauta Yachts.

Making Waves: Benetti Tease

Benetti had a busy 2012. One of the numerous projects under way at its various shipyards is this 207-foot (63-meter) custom yacht in Livorno.

Making Waves: Picchio Boat

This 71-foot catamaran by designer Christian Grande may well be the yacht world’s response to the slow-food movement. It celebrates going slow and making time to enjoy nature and family. Nothing will escape guests on board this boat. Even the floor is put to good use to showcase the elements.

Making Waves: Ferretti 960

Hull No. 1 of Ferretti Yachts’ exciting new flagship—the Ferretti 960—launches later this year. With design by Studio Zuccon International Project and Ferretti’s engineering department, Ferretti’s largest planing yacht to date sports aggressive lines, bright interiors, a full-beam ondeck master stateroom and four lower-deck guest cabins.

Making Waves: Kingship’s Green Voyager

The 144-foot (44-meter) Green Voyager is a high-stakes project. Launched with fanfare at the 2010 Monaco Yacht Show, it attracted lots of attention with its fresh styling by Axis Yacht Design and ambitious environmental goals. It was the first project of this size to try and achieve the RINA Green Star Plus designation.

Making Waves: Heesen/Paszkowski Concept

Apparently, it is possible to be pretty big (in this case about 188 feet 4 inches long by 33 feet 10 inches wide) and stay sleek. This aluminum yacht (an advanced and ready-to-build concept) was born on the computer screen of designer Francesco Paszkowski who, of late, has collaborated with the Dutch builder on a couple of interior designs.

Making Waves: Pirelli PZero Sport

This is not your father’s inflatable. When Pirelli first sold boats, they were popular, easy to use and hard working. Early in its history, Pirelli ventured outside of the industrial world into motorsports and even fashion. Naturally, when it revisited the boating sector with its new line of PZero tenders, style had to be part of the mix.
