Pearl 75: Luxe on the Fly

August 13, 2013

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

August 13, 2013

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.

Revolver 42: Loaded for Fun

June 20, 2013

Italian businessman Carmelo Zocco had plans for a new performance cruiser steeped in his homeland’s style-focused culture.

Oceanco Nirvana: Engineered for Enlightenment

June 18, 2013

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.

Milo: A Sleeping Giant Awakens

June 18, 2013

If there’s anything in the annals of yachting worthy of the biblical tale of Lazarus, it’s the story of a 150-foot (45.72-meter) sailing yacht called Zeus.

Sunreef 82 Double Deck: Adventures in Inner Space

June 18, 2013

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.

Mondo Marine Okko: Ciao Bella

Lürssen’s Lady Kathryn V: The Skydeck’s the Limit

April 5, 2013

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.
