Writer Herman Melville once called it “an elbow of sand” and the native Wampanoag Indians named it “the Faraway land” (or Nantucket). Both names fit this 14-mile-long and 3.5-mile-wide island 30 miles off the Massachusetts coast. A recent addition to the island’s genteel way of life is the family-friendly Westmoor Club and its flagship Belle.

What is the secret formula that makes one charter yacht more successful than another? The 157-foot Christensen Lady Joy seems to have all the right ingredients.
Azimut Benetti Group started as Azimut srl, a sailing-boat charter company, in 1969. It wasn’t until the 1980s that it became a boatbuilding brand with its own production. From there, it experienced phenomenal growth. At all of the world’s major boat shows, the group has a large presence with island-style displays and multiple booths, presenting a vast array of boats and yachts, addressing just about any type of motorboat enthusiast’s needs or desires.
One of the noteworthy new yachts at the 2011 Monaco Yacht Show was E & E, a vessel that belongs to an experienced yachtsman who really knew what he wanted out of his new yacht. The starting point for the design and construction of E & E was the owner’s previous boat, his beloved Vripak-designed 126-foot yacht Jasmin.
The S in S Collection stands for Sportiness. These stylish composite vessels are very comfortable cruising at speeds in the high 30s and in several cases have top speeds exceeding 40 knots. Among their most recognizable stylistic features are the square midship hull-side windows (four or six, according to length). The larger models boast a sun deck elegantly concealed in the sleek profile.
A few projects stand out in memory even years after their completion. For the renowned custom shipyard Delta Marine, Laurel is one of those builds.
Yachts International first met Miami-based architect and yacht owner Hakki Koroglu at Vicem’s Antalya shipyard as he and his wife, Randie, awaited delivery of their latest Vicem: Hull No. 1 of the new Bahama Bay 61 series. It was the third time they ignored the advice that you should never buy the first hull. We caught up with these experienced boaters again after they had a chance to cruise in Turkey, and they showed no signs of regret.
A few months ago, Sanlorenzo Americas welcomed its first 104-foot composite flybridge yacht. It was built on spec and features—as is customary now—an interior by American designer Marty Lowe, who came up with a multifunctional and appealing design for all.
Designed for owners who enjoy longer periods at sea and give priority to environmental concerns and lower fuel consumption, the two models in the Magellano collection offer comfortable and versatile interiors combined with cutting-edge technology and innovative materials that earned the more recent Magellano 50 several awards, including the international powerboating organization UIM’s 2011 environmental award.
