A SINGLE PASSION.

A SANLORENZO.

Choosing a Sanlorenzo means

combining elegance and design with

the satisfaction of owning a truly

unique piece. Because, for over half

a century, every Sanlorenzo has been

custom-made for its owner, like a

tailored suit. Sanlorenzo yachts are

built to the very highest standards

because they are made by people who

constantly strive for the very best, right

down to the smallest detail.

The handcrafted tradition, passed

down from father to son, and the

complete customization of every boat,

ensure that no other yacht will ever

equal a Sanlorenzo.

Privacy and Eyes in the Sky

Camera-toting drones are about the coolest toys

to hit the yachting scene since the inflatable

banana. Seriously: Being a lifelong photographer,

I’m enthralled by the images a drone and a GoPro

camera can produce. They allow perspectives on yachts,

recreational activities and destinations that landside or

waterborne cameras can’t capture.

But there’s an issue hovering below the radar that makes me a shade

nervous. Imagine enjoying dinner and drinks on the aft deck, at anchor

in a secluded cove in Maine, the silence so profound you can hear the

wind rushing over the wings of the geese flying overhead. Then you hear

it: a low-level combination of leaf blower and weed trimmer increasing in

pitch. In seconds, it’s hovering over you and you find yourself becoming

more steamed than your lobster. You have no idea who’s controlling it or

where he is and where the stills or video he’s shooting will end up. I don’t

know about you, but I find that scenario scary.

Kim Kavin’s reporting in her story “Spies in the Skies” should raise red

flags for owners and charterers who enjoy the tranquility and anonymity

yachts provide. Paparazzi now can invade your privacy by remote control and

there’s apparently little you can do about it.

The U.S. Federal Aviation Administration currently prohibits the use of drones for commercial

purposes, but it appears few heed the law. Some states have banned their use over events where

large groups of people congregate, but such laws are aimed more at safety than privacy. Regulators

worldwide are working to catch up with the technology, but even if they do, in an age where

everyone with a mobile phone is shooting stills and video with impunity, it seems hard to imagine

they’ll gain any traction.

What can you do about it? If you can find the pilot, you can file a lawsuit, but it’s hard to

imagine that would be worth the money and effort. I guess there’s always the .12-gauge solution,

but if neither of those work for you, maybe it’s best to buy a drone of your own and create some

great memories. Just keep it away from my patch of water, please.

Under the Radar

Another story in this issue deals with privacy of a different stripe. In his piece “Ruse on the

Chesapeake,” author L. Douglas Keeney tells a fascinating story about the contribution the

steam yacht Delphine (then, in Navy trim, called the USS Dauntless) and her crew made to

ensure President Franklin D. Roosevelt and his military staff arrived in secrecy at the USS Iowa

for a date with destiny in 1943.

It probably was a good thing for world peace that the “root weevils” of the day, with their

bulky cameras and press cards stuck in their fedoras, didn’t have access to drones as FDR and

company pulled off their stealth run in yachts down the Chesapeake Bay. The Iowa’s anti-aircraft

guns surely would have made a bigger mess of the drones than a yacht captain with a .12-gauge.

DANISH DISCOURSE

i

enjoyed reading the article “American Promise” in your

September/October issue about the QuadraDeck by Danish

Yachts. After many years of doing business with European manufacturers,

the hardest lesson that most of them had to learn,

often painfully, was to listen to the American market. I have

seen many companies bring to market stylish, cutting-edge products

that bombed because they lacked some basic feature or function, often

obscure to them, that we Americans considered important. While we

love style in our products, it seems that we value function more. Your

description of the 40-meter QuadraDeck really drove home the stated

goal of designing a vessel specifically for the U.S. market.

—George Ingersoll

I well remember, many years ago, sailing in the infamous Skaw

Race which started and ended in Skagen at the very northern tip of

the Danish peninsula, now home to Danish yachts. The race itself,

always a challenging one, consisted of a large triangular course in

the Skagerrak Sea surrounded by the coasts of Denmark, Norway

and Sweden. After spending a week preparing for the race in the

port of Skagen, I remember feeling that I would prefer to remain at

sea after the race than return to Skagen. Skagen in those days was a

small fishing port (herring) and the stink coming from the holds of

the fishing boats literally burned the lungs! While it can be argued

that substituting fish for megayachts is not necessarily

a good thing in terms of our planet’s natural

resources, it is certainly good to see the extraordinary transition of

places like Skagen and other parts of the world that have embraced

luxury yachtbuilding, to the tremendous benefit of local communities.

—Ed Knox

A FINE ART

ihave just finished reading the September/

October issue of your magazine and, as with

a good book, was a little sad when I inevitably

reached the end. You are to be congratulated

not only on your first-class articles and

photography, but also on the sheer craftsmanship

of creating a magazine at this high level that tells

the story of the large-yacht business. Speaking

of craftsmanship, I was blown away by Justin

Ratcliffe’s photo essay “The Beauty of the Build.”

I have had the good fortune to see a number of

these magnificent creations close-up, and I regard each one as a

unique work of art. The culmination of the talents of the designers,

builders, engineers and many others, working at the top of

their game, is truly spectacular. Ratcliffe’s photo essay brought out

the fundamental elements of yachtbuilding: the cutting, shaping,

welding and grinding of base metals—by craftsmen—into the

magnificent results we all admire.

YACHTS INTERNATIONAL PARTNERS

WITH THE BOYS & GIRLS CLUBS OF

NEWPORT COUNTY FOR A RECORD-

BREAKING FUNDRAISER

As part of an annual effort to bolster community support, the Boys

& Girls Clubs of Newport County in Rhode Island held two festive

events on back-to-back starlit evenings in August. The events,

which saw record-breaking returns, included a yacht hop hosted

by Newport Shipyard and the clubs’ annual Dinner Dance Party at

Rosecliff. The clubs’ executive director and CEO, Joseph Pratt, was pleased with

the outpouring of support from the community.

“Attracting more than 300 guests and generating more than $200,000 in financial

support to the Boys & Girls Clubs of Newport County, we achieved our most successful

event in its 35-year history,” said Pratt. “Thanks to our volunteers, sponsors and friends,

we are able to carry on our mission to enable all youth to achieve their full potential.

Great futures start with our programs at the Boys & Girls Clubs, which promote

character and leadership, health and wellness, and education and career development.”

Guests enjoyed two elegant evenings of cocktails and fine dining, camaraderie

and fun thanks to the efforts of co-chairs Kim Herrlinger, Carol O’Malley, Sherri

Grace and Piper Quinn, along with an active volunteer committee. A silent auction

and a live auction ensured that the “boys and girls” benefitted from the generosity of

the Newport community. Peter de Savary and family were the event’s title sponsors.

Yachts participating in the shipyard event included Defiance, from B&B yacht

charters and Global Oceans Luxury Yacht Charters; Hargrave Custom Yachts’

GiGi II; Meteor, from Yachting Partners International; Feadship Centinela IV;

and Usher, from Fleet Miami and Northrop and Johnson. Captains and crew did

what they do best—making everyone feel welcome, even the yachting uninitiated.

Contributing sponsors were Bank of America, C1 Bank, The Clarke Cooke

House, Cox Communications Northeast Region and Lucid Yacht Group/Admiral

Tecnomar USA. Active Interest Media’s Yachts International was the event’s media

sponsor. —Jill Bobrow

10-Year-Old Volpini Reborn at Amels Yard

Ten years after delivery, the 161-foot (49.3-meter) Amels Volpini (ex-Larissa)

returned home to the Netherlands for a major refit, which included a complete

repaint, interior customization, and machinery and electronics upgrades. According

to the owner’s representative, Ben Young, the new owner selected Amels for the

refit to achieve an “as new” product. For the interior work, interior fabricator

Sunseekers continue to move up in size. Following

the launch of its 155 earlier this year, the builder has

announced plans for a 168 Sport Yacht, its largest

model to date. The 168 Sport Yacht will combine

the interior volume of a trideck with the aggressive

Alucia required extensive upgrades to continue her commercial

SOLAS standards and stay in survey for her multifaceted

Joe Dockery at the helm of his ketch Whitehawk

Joe Dockery

A passion for classics.

With a bemused twinkle in his eyes and a comely handlebar mustache, Joe Dockery is a ringer for some

character actor. I just can’t place which one. He also bears a remote resemblance to President William

Howard Taft. In any case, he has a memorable visage.

Dockery is a yachting enthusiast whose passion is profound, but not pretentious. He races, but he doesn’t

make a fuss about his handicap ratings. He seems to enjoy the sport, win or lose. He owns multiple boats

and is often on the yachting scene. Currently he has pared his boat habit down to three: 105-foot (32-meter)

Lie-Neilsen ketch Whitehawk designed by Bruce King and built in 1978, 53-foot (16.1-meter) Sparkman &

Stephens cutter Sonny built in 1935 and a 32-foot Edgewater center console named Bullet he uses in Palm

Beach, Florida.

He is not one given to hyperbole, but his accomplishments speak for themselves. He served as commodore of

the Stamford Yacht Club in Connecticut and is a trustee of the Stamford Sailing Foundation, a trustee of the New

York Yacht Club, chairman of that club’s cruising committee, vice commodore of the Sailfish Point Yacht Club in

Florida and a member of the Storm Trysail Club in Larchmont, New York. He has been chairman of the board of

trustees at International Yacht Restoration School (IYRS) for the past two years.

Hailing from Montclair, New Jersey, Dockery grew up in the automotive business hanging around his father’s

Ford dealership. From a young age, he tinkered under the hoods of cars and was groomed to learn every aspect

of the car business. In 1969, his family opened a Mercedes-Benz dealership. Dockery eventually took charge of it

and acquired successive dealerships of other luxury brands. He is president and CEO of the Prestige Family of Fine

Cars, a company with more than a billion dollars in revenues and approximately 700 employees. One year he was

named dealer of the year for the state of New Jersey.

Retired from running the day-to-day business, Dockery has not retired from leading a contributory life. In

addition to his yachting interests, he is involved with wide-ranging boards and foundations. He has served on

the board of Hillcrest Medical Center for nine years, he is president of The Winchendon School and is on the

boards of the Michael Wolk Heart Foundation and Gilda’s Club. His friends extol his virtues as a “good guy”

honors, accolades and awards—such as Ramapo College of New

Jersey’s Citizen of the Year Award in 2006 and his induction into

the Foundation for Free Enterprise Hall of Fame in 2008—his good

friends are not his only fans.

JILL BOBROW: HOW LONG HAVE YOU HAD AN INTEREST IN

YACHTING?

Joe Dockery: I think my craze for boats started when I was 10. I

built my first boat, of course, with the quality of a 10-year-old and

the bottom fell out three days later.

DID YOUR FAMILY HAVE BOATS?

My father had a 19-foot Chris-Craft that he used in a lake in New

Jersey, and my brother raced Snipes as well as a 15-foot outboard.

I simply followed their good lesson.

YOU RECENTLY SOLD A 126-FOOT FEADSHIP WITH AN IMPOSSI-

BLE-TO-PRONOUNCE NAME.

The name was a mix of my wife’s and daughters’ names: Krisujen.

We had a lot of good times on her, cruising extensively.

AT THE SAME TIME YOU HAD KRISUJEN, YOU BOUGHT THE 105-

FOOT CLASSIC KETCH WHITEHAWK.

I needed Whitehawk like I needed a hole in my head. It was

purely an emotional purchase; no logic. My wife, Kristal, can

attest to that. Whitehawk came up for sale, and boom, I just

bought her. I consider that I own the ‘Whitehawk museum.’

WHITEHAWK WON HONORS AT THIS YEAR’S ANTIGUA CLASSIC

YACHT REGATTA.

I can’t take credit for classic week. She won the Concours

d’Elegance because the crew did a fantastic job. The boat was

there representing the IYRS. People from Newport and some of

the crew of Courageous raced her. I wasn’t even there.

SO YOU’RE DEEPLY INVOLVED WITH IYRS.

Yes, I’ve been on the board for seven years and chairman for two

years, during which time I have been active in merging the school

with the Museum of Yachting. One year I offered a week aboard

Whitehawk as one of the school’s auction items for their summer

gala fundraiser.

ARE YOU STILL WORKING IN THE CAR BUSINESS?

I started taking off Wednesdays, then Saturdays and Sundays, and

then Mondays. I spend most of my time in my role on my various

boards, and I also have my boating habit to attend to.

WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE COMMITTEE INVOLVEMENT?

I am vice commodore on the cruising committee for the New York

Yacht Club. I truly enjoy working on our itineraries. I’ve gone on

some fantastic voyages to places like southern Italy and Alaska

with very interesting people.

WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE CRUISING DESTINATION?

I really enjoyed the Sea of Cortez, where the animal life was amazing.

And in 2003, we transported a 58-foot Huckins powerboat

to New Zealand. My wife and I lived aboard it for several months

while we cruised around that country.

YOU SEEM TO HAVE A PENCHANT FOR CLASSIC SAILBOATS AND

MOTORYACHTS.

I developed a taste for classics in my 50s and 60s. I have nostalgia

for the sheer beauty in the lines of classics. The classics have

their own charm. Sonny, my 53-foot S&S sloop built in 1935, is a

wonderful boat to race, but as she lacks a few creature comforts, I

have never spent a night on her.

Dockery considers his S&S sloop, Sonny, his race boat.

PIER TO PEER

The magnificent Whitehawk, a big sister to the famous Herreshoff Ticonderoga, is

highly distinctive with her raked masts.

WHAT ARE SOME OF YOUR FAVORITE ROUTINES?

We have been to Maine 25 times in the last 27 years—to

Boothbay, Bar Harbor and Down East. We’ve been to some stunning

out-of-the-way coves where we’d be lucky to see another

boat. We sometimes end up dockside to provision and enjoy some

sightseeing, but we would rather be out on the hook.

DO YOU HAVE ANY HOBBIES BESIDES BOATS?

I never figured out golf. You hit the ball and no one hits it back. I’d

rather be on the water than anywhere else.

ANY NEW DESTINATIONS ON YOUR CURRENT CRUISING WISH

LIST?

With the right boat, I’d like to do a little northern exploring to

Greenland and Labrador. I don’t have the right boat. The southern

part of Cuba also sounds good to me.

IN ADDITION TO YOUR PASSION FOR BOATS, WHAT MOTIVATES

YOU MOST IN LIFE?

My wife and my two girls. I have always felt it was important

to make a living so that we would have a nice, comfortable life.

Pretty much everything I do is for them.

HOW DOES YOUR FAMILY FEEL ABOUT BOATING?

They are not quite as enthusiastic as I am, but we all like to go to

interesting places and to meet great people.

ARE YOU THE HELMSMAN WHEN YOU’RE SAILING?

I’m frequently at the helm, but I’m not allowed forward of the mast.

WHAT KIND OF RELATIONSHIP DO YOU HAVE WITH YOUR

CAPTAIN?

Simon Davidson has been with me for 22 years. I have two daughters

and Simon. I refer to him as my expensive child.

WILL THERE BE OTHER BOATS IN YOUR FUTURE?

I’m always thinking and always dreaming. I am allowed to change

houses, cars and boats, as long as I don’t change my wife. There

will always be another boat.

ON THE HORIZON

By Andrew Parkinson

WIDE OPEN

Vripack goes deep for a client and scores big

with its Brazil house concept.

Designing a new concept yacht is a special

endeavor for any design team, especially

when the owner’s brief requires thinking

outside the box—or in the case of Vripack’s latest

concept, approximately 7,000 nautical miles outside

the box. When a young yachtsman decided it was time

to upsize, it meant commissioning a world wanderer

for his whole family—spanning three generations of

avid sailors from grandparents to grandchildren.

“The owner is at a place in life where his children

are old enough and his parents are young enough

to join on long voyages, so it’s conceivable to sometimes

have three generations of family plus guests on

board at any given time,” says Marnix Hoekstra, partner

and naval architect at Holland-based Vripack.

“They are active adventurers who will be cruising to

extreme environments—hot and cold—so naturally

they require the ability to all be inside together at

times while still enjoying the outside ambiance in all

its splendor.”

Vripack has a self-branded corporate culture,

VriThink, that aims to revolutionize yacht design

by seeking out and harnessing creativity spotted in

global trends. The team found its solution within

the architectural styling of a Brazilian house—nearly

7,000 miles across the pond. While the Brazilian

house concept, which allows climate and culture to

guide the family-centric design process, isn’t necessarily

new to land-based construction, it’s certainly at

the cutting edge of European yacht design.

The quintessential Brazil house takes alfresco living

a step beyond your typical patio or balcony with

a long, open interior layout and a loft element that

caters to both privacy and openness. The main level

is wide open and can get rather creative in design. In

contrast with the modern lower level, the loft overhead

is typically warmer and more intimate.

“Accommodating several different styles of living, it

is a perfect solution for multigenerational family living,

and this includes cruising,” says Hoekstra. “Instead of

an aft deck on the bridge level, we simply have a middeck

that is open. For the loft, we designed a one-anda-half-story

welcome lounge with lazy spiraling stairs. It

stays out of the sun so you’re not directly hit by sunlight.

area near their cabins, so when on board they can

be connected to the central living space with little

effort. The children require safety and the ability to

be outdoors but still protected from the elements and

visible to parents. With three generations, plus captain

and crew, there’s definitely a lot happening on

this boat, which we had to account for.

YI: Is this the first modern explorer concept for

Vripack?

MH: The term modern explorer has become cliché.

We have a tremendous amount of experience in modern

explorers, but it’s the new degree of modern in

this concept that’s so exciting for us and yacht design

as a whole. We’ve embraced it. To have a client challenge

us to put on our thinking caps and have a fresh

take on a traditional concept is always a thrill.

Or, if you happen to be in the Arctic, it’s easy to heat and

you still get a sense of the outdoors.”

This mid-deck area connects to two VIP staterooms,

allowing elderly guests to be at ease and still

be part of the action. Belowdecks, the layout features

a large parents’ room, which connects to two

kids’ rooms, with the option to keep all rooms open

as a giant family suite. The main deck aft remains

obstruction-free, which permits space for numerous

toys and tenders, such as daysailers—surely a welcomed

convenience by three generations of sailing

enthusiasts—and Vripack has cleverly integrated a

launching crane into the bulwark.

Yachts International recently caught up with

Hoekstra to learn more about Vripack’s 137-foot

(41.90-meter) Brazil house concept, now appropriately

called Project Casa:

YI: Surely you encountered some obstacles in adapting

a land-based construction concept for the open ocean.

MH: It can be easy to go way overboard on something like

this and make something extremely modernistic, but for

the owner it still must look like a yacht—not just a fancy

object. It needed to be fresh and modern, but still keeping

somewhat traditional yacht lines. It’s not a building; it’s a

ship, and it needs a bow. As we moved aft from there, we

then looked for opportunities to [incorporate] ideas from

contemporary architecture. I think we’ve blended those

two worlds very nicely in the final design of Casa.

YI: What most required your team to think outside

the box?

MH: Having to accommodate three totally different

generations with different needs. Grandparents may

not be able to move around easily. To account for

this, we designed the welcoming main deck family

ABOVE: To accommodate

several different styles

of living under one roof,

Vripack’s Brazil house

concept involved several

unique design elements,

which were addressed

in the conceptualization

stages.

YI: How soon might we see Project Casa make her

maiden voyage?

MH: We are already in the process of selecting a

builder and will begin laying down the terms of a deal

very soon. It’s not every day you get to work on such

a fresh concept, and we believe we have designed

something revolutionary here, so we can’t wait to see

her fully constructed and on the water.

YI: Where does the owner intend to take the boat?

MH: In the exact words of the owner, ‘Everywhere

except the Med.’ He seems to be quite the modern

explorer himself.

BY DUDLEY

DAWSON

By the time the jingle “Baseball, Hot

Dogs, Apple Pie and Chevrolet”

hit the airwaves in 1975, I already

knew that Chevrolet, and a particular Chevy

dealer named Charlie Johnson, were to be

enduring connections to yachting, not just

for me but for many others as well.

Years earlier, as a teenager working the

summer in a Chevy dealership, I had taken a

break from polishing the showroom floor and

picked up a copy of the Chevrolet magazine,

Friends. It carried an article about Webb

Institute of Naval Architecture, and for a

kid who loved boats, it was the brass ring.

Off I went, driving a Chevy Biscayne, to a

great education and a rewarding career in the marine

industry, courtesy of a tip from Chevrolet. A Camaro,

a Corvette and an Impala followed the Biscayne as I

enjoyed twenty years as a designer with Jack Hargrave

and later Hatteras Yachts.

Chevrolet and Charlie Johnson figured prominently

in both Hargrave and Hatteras’ success. An avid sportsman,

Johnson took delivery of the iconic Rybovich-built

Miss Chevy II in 1947, setting the standard for all sportfishing

boats built to this day. Ten years later, Johnson

ran across “young Hargrave,” as he called him, in the

Rybovich design office, working on a motoryacht design

as a side project. Johnson funded its completion and

eventual construction at Burger Boat Company, launching

the 90-foot (27.4-meter) Seven Seas and Hargrave’s

career as well.

Johnson was just warming up, though. He was an

active member of the Hatteras Marlin Club and, as the

story goes, was sitting around with his cronies one day

waiting for the weather to break so they could get on with

their tournament. Willis Slane, heir to Slane Hosiery Mills

in High Point, North Carolina, groused that someone

should build a boat tough enough to take on anything.

Johnson and others challenged him to do just that,

so with investments from club members, including

another Chevy dealer back in High Point, Slane founded

Hatteras Yachts. Hatteras’ first boat, the 41-foot (12.5-

meter) fiberglass sportfisherman Knit Wits, designed

Where the

Rudder Meets

the Road

How Chevy and Charlie Johnson changed yachting forever.

by Jack Hargrave, was launched in 1960. Interestingly,

Hargrave carried out some of the initial structural testing

by driving his Chevrolet Corvair over various laminate

panels to measure their deflection.

Johnson collaborated with Hargrave on several

more boats, including the offshore racer TX-41. Built

by Daytona Marina & Boat Works, she was powered

by four big-block Chevy engines to a top speed in

excess of 60 miles per hour. Her record for the Miamito-New

York run stood for an impressive 10 years.

A later client once mentioned to Hargrave that

he was a Chevy dealer, too. When asked if he knew

Charlie Johnson, the client smiled broadly and

replied, “Yeah, of course. Between us, Charlie and

I own eighteen dealerships. I have one and Charlie

has seventeen.” Johnson’s success with Chevrolet

provided the means for his yachting adventures, but

it was his unending enthusiasm for all aspects of the

sport that endeared him to so many. My last memory

of him was the day we got a call at Hargrave’s office,

telling us that Charlie had just won the Palm Beach

Masters sailfish tournament at the age of 94.

Charlie Johnson is gone now, but his legacy continues

throughout yachting. If you’ve ever raced or

cruised or fished, you’re part of Johnson’s legacy, so

celebrate. Take in a baseball game, have a hot dog,

enjoy some apple pie and, like Charlie, continue to

embrace yachting for as long as you’re able.

Princess 88 By Alan Harper

TURN

UP THE

VOLUME

The Princess 88 shows it’s

not the LOA; it’s what’s inside

that counts.

Gazing up at the huge, fiberglass cliff face of

the Princess 88 from the dock, I was looking

for a way in. Not literally—the door was

open, I was expected and the captain was already a

nodding acquaintance—but a way in to this story.

Marinas are filled with big shiny boats like this.

Princess alone builds several others in this size range,

and if you’re not close enough to read the numbers

on the side, they can be difficult to tell apart.

Like many of her rivals, the 88 is a four- or fivecabin

luxury cruiser with massive engines, opulent

appointments and quality engineering. One thing

that sets her apart is her nearly 7 feet of headroom

pretty much everywhere. That’s right, 7 feet, all

through the main deck, and down below it’s not

much less. This is one big yacht, particularly on the

inside, and it shows. If I could fault her outward

appearance, it would be to say not only that she looks

rather tall, but also that the windscreen is set well

forward, shortening the foredeck and giving the yacht

a portly profile. But what might be a problem on the

outside is a boon once you get on board, because a

forward windscreen creates extra space on the main

deck and up on the flybridge. And if the bow doesn’t

quite have the elegance of a Nathanael Herreshoff

or an Olin Stephens design, it does at least have a

sofa and a sunbed. The cabins are well-proportioned,

there is room to turn around in the showers, the beds

are all full-size or bigger and everywhere you look are

substantial windows and portlights. You don’t just get

to feel the space; you get to see it too.

So the storyline here is size. Even for an 88,

this Princess feels spacious, especially if you opt for

the four-cabin layout, with its massive master suite

amidships. A balcony on the main deck is another

option I regard as pretty much essential, even though

the giant windows up there do a pretty good job on

their own to maximize a luxurious sense of volume,

heightened as it is—literally—by that generous headroom,

and emphasized by the low-level furnishings

and open layout of the salon and dining area.

Farther forward, the galley and wheelhouse are

separated from the guest areas by a silk-lined sliding

screen and combine to form a comfortable and

sociable working area for the crew, who can access

their quarters in the stern via the transom door or side

decks. There is no garage. The main tender stows

on the hydraulic platform, and there is room for a

smaller one on the flybridge.

Engine choice is limited. You’ll likely make your

selection based on dealer availability rather than

horsepower. Although the biggest Cats should be

good for another couple of knots, the 1,822-horsepower

MTUs on the 88 we sea-trialed felt like an

excellent match for the easily driven hull, giving the

yacht a lively and responsive ride, with light helm

input and positive reactions to the throttles. Ample

reserves of torque and an excellent Humphree trim

system mean the yacht can be held on plane at

speeds as low as 16 knots, although the hull is optimized

to cruise in the low- to mid-20s. If you really

want to economize, you’ll be better off in displacement

mode—10 or 11 knots—using the stabilizers to

keep things comfortable.

Size, of course, isn’t the whole story of the

Princess 88. The shipyard prides itself, justifiably, not

solely on the performance and handling of its yachts,

but also on its interior designs and the quality of its

fit and finish. To cite just one telling example, the

main guest companionway on the 88 is lined with

a full-height, leather-upholstered panel with unusual

backlit stitching, which is typical of the in-depth

detailing to be found aboard this yacht. It’s cool and

quietly eye-catching, in rather the same way as this

understated British brand likes to think of itself.

Outer Reef 860 CPMY By Louisa Beckett

MADE TO

ORDER

Outer Reef’s second 860

CPMY shows off her semicustom

chops.

Stepping into the salon of hull number two of

Outer Reef’s 860 model, one thing is instantly

clear: This is no rank-and-file production boat.

Although the Outer Reef 860 Cockpit Motor Yacht

(CPMY) is a series model based on an 80-foot hull

with a 6-foot cockpit extension, hull number one

launched with a contemporary interior design. This

yacht pays homage to traditional nautical styling. The

salon has a teak-and-holly sole, solid teak cabinetry

and teak walls with elegant raised paneling handcrafted

by the artisans at Outer Reef’s shipyard in

Taiwan. The traditional theme is carried throughout

the boat—even to the crew quarters, which are finished

to the same high standard as the rest.

“Our boats are pretty much custom-built on the

inside, as long as the changes don’t affect the structural

integrity of the boat or its seakeeping ability,”

said Outer Reef Yachts General Manager Michael

Schlichtig. “It’s a more difficult way of building boats

without a doubt, but we try to give our customers the

latitude to build the boat with the décor they want.”

ON BOARD

OUTER REEF 860

The owners of hull number two worked with

Outer Reef Yachts interior designer Deborah Manzi to

achieve the classic look they desired.

“Usually I am involved almost from day one,”

Manzi said. “I have a design room in our office in Fort

Lauderdale. I also take owners to Design Center of

the Americas and some of the other showrooms in the

area.”

According to Schlichtig, new boat contracts have

an allowance for the décor, which enables owners to

work with outside designers. However, having an inhouse

designer gives owners the most bang for their

buck, as Outer Reef doesn’t charge extra for the time.

In the design process for hull number two, the

owners opted for loose furniture in the salon, with twin

ottomans fronting the sofa instead of a coffee table for

a more casual look and feel.

Custom furniture was constructed locally in Dania,

Florida, by IK Yacht Design. Outer Reef’s in-house

woodshop crafted the extensive built-in cabinetry

along with boxed window frames and an expandable

teak card table. This card table replaces the standard

dining room table in the forward part of the salon.

Since the owner’s family prefers dining on deck, they

requested a longer-than-normal custom teak table and

bench settee on the aft deck, seating up to 12 people.

While most 860 CPMYs have mirror-image stairways

to the cockpit, this yacht has only a starboard

stair. “The owners opted against the portside stairs to

teak but also includes

furniture in the salon.

BELOW: The owners

table and settee.

accommodate for the longer table,” said Schlichtig.

The owners of hull number two also took advantage

of Outer Reef’s willingness to customize the

accommodations. In lieu of the standard queen-berth

VIP forward, they opted for a more traditional nautical

raised V-berth stateroom. The portside guest stateroom

is outfitted with standard twin berths, and the

full-beam master suite is atypically sparse. It has the

standard king-size berth and built-in bureaus, but the

owners decided against the usual vanity. The lack of

furniture enhances the feeling of spaciousness, while

headroom—which is about 6 feet 5 inches (and closer

to 7 feet in the salon above)—adds another dimension

of luxury.

The master head, with twin sinks, shower and

private stall, is tucked to port behind the king berth

bulkhead. To starboard is a walk-in closet with a hidden

door to the engine room, providing the crew with

a secret passageway to the guest accommodations for

efficient, out-of-sight room servicing. The yacht’s electrical

distribution panel is also in the closet—perhaps

an odd location until you consider that Outer Reef’s

yachts are built to be owner-operated if desired.

The owners of hull number two employ a captain,

although they are still highly experienced yacht

owners. And it’s a safe bet the same is true for most

of Outer Reef’s customers, who appreciate the longrange

capability and seaworthiness designed into just

about every inch of these yachts.

For an oceangoing explorer yacht, the 860 definitely

looks the part—salty, with her Portuguese bridge

and raked pilothouse windows. “Everything we build is

built to Open Ocean A guidelines,” notes Schlichtig.

“The yachts are designed to be self-sufficient and

capable of unrestricted navigation on open seas in

rough or even hostile conditions.”

The 860 CPMY has a semi-displacement hull with

a full-length keel that extends below the running gear.

Built of heavy-duty fiberglass with closed-cell Divinicell

PVC coring above the waterline, it is laid up with vacuum-bag

construction for better resin penetration and

greater strength. The hull is then treated with five coats

of epoxy osmosis barriers for ultimate water resistance.

Among a long list of seakindly features on board

the 860, the engine room deserves a special note for its

6-foot-5-inch-plus headroom, access to at least three

sides of the Caterpillar diesels and Northern Lights

gensets (the owners upgraded from 25 kW to 30 kW)

and the chilled air conditioning system, which is standard

on all Outer Reef Yachts 65 feet and up. Outer

Reef prides itself on a standard noise and vibration

reduction package, which includes gasketing every

interior door to minimize the possibility of rattles. ABT

Trac 250 stabilizers with 7.5-square-foot fins are standard,

as are sea chests—an Outer Reef hallmark.

Full walkarounds ease access from stem to stern

during docking maneuvers. The pilothouse and flybridge

helm stations, each equipped with standard Stidd helm

seats, provide two virtually redundant driving experiences

to choose from, depending on the weather.

Astondoa 63 By Capt. Bill Pike

PLAYFUL

Astondoa’s 63 Top Deck realizes

family appeal with a cool

take on spatial innovation.

I

was struck by an intriguing possibility shortly

after I began touring the Astondoa 63 Top Deck.

At the time, I was peering into the cool aquamarine

depths of a see-through Jacuzzi, playfully

cantilevered above a swim platform that sported

two hinged, hydraulically actuated wings to port and

starboard. The wings were obviously designed to

increase the size of the platform when folded down

and, when folded up, served as seamless extensions

of the long, straight-sheered hull sides.

“Huh,” I wondered. “Could Luiz de Basto, an old

acquaintance of mine, have designed this boat—Luiz,

the guy with the playful, wildly inventive nature?”

My speculation was spot on, as it turned out.

De Basto was indeed the designer of the Top Deck,

as confirmed by the stateside representative for

Spanish builder Astondoa Yachts. The agent breezed

me through the extensive details, starting with the

superyacht-style garage/beach club at the stern

(with berth-and-head-equipped cuddy cabins along

the sides as well as a drop-down, flat-screen TV and

stowage for a RIB, Seabobs, kayaks and PWC) and

going straight through to the appealing (especially

to kids and wild-and-crazy middle-agers) waterslide,

sportily deployed off the starboard side.

I first met de Basto in 1993, not long after he’d

won the prestigious Popular Mechanics Design &

Engineering Award for his Boatmobile, whose plans

put a large, highly stylized trailer under a 29-foot

flybridge-type vessel, thereby producing a towable

vehicle that served as a mobile home ashore and a

coastal cruiser afloat. I remember visiting de Basto’s

office in Miami after sea-trialing the Boatmobile. On

the one hand, the guy seemed eminently practical,

particularly when it came to stability calculations,

LCG placement and other design considerations. But

then, there was the playful, fun-loving side—it was

irrepressible and strikingly inventive.

When we spoke recently about the 63 Top Deck,

I could tell de Basto hadn’t changed a whole lot over

the years.

“Back when I was an architectural student in

Brazil, I had an idea for a house—the perfect house,”

ABOVE: The whole family

deck (via a companionway

lounge-type seating, an

entertainment station and

a pizza-size microwave.

he explained. “The walls fold down thanks to cables

and mechanisms. While, sadly, I have not built the

house, I used the idea to design the Top Deck. It has

wings (or balconies, if you like) instead of walls.”

The Top Deck gets her name from the vast, flat,

hardtop-shaded party platform that is her most noticeable

exterior feature. The platform’s layout is about

as simple as the typical suburban backyard. All the

way forward is a tripartite sun lounge with backrests,

an accompanying seat and an easy-to-deploy table.

Farther aft, just behind the helm station (with Volvo

Penta joystick), is an athwartships console that conceals

a bevy of galley appliances including a stainless

steel sink, small fridge, dishwasher and pull-out grill.

Even farther aft is an open-air dining and entertainment

area that stretches back to the aforementioned

see-through Jacuzzi, with adjoining bar.

Of course, the theme here is outdoor living—family

style. Thanks to a flat-screen TV in the midst of

the entertainment area, a retractable moonroof in the

hardtop overhead (perfect for nighttime stargazing)

and a high-powered Fusion stereo system to set the

tone, adults can kick back in comfort while they keep

tabs on their youngsters. On the lower deck is a media/

game room forward with yet another flat-screen and

more lounge seating. Abaft that area is a head (with

separate stall shower) and two staterooms, one with a

double berth and the other with two singles.

Endurance 720 By Capt. Ken Kreisler

ON THE

WAY UP

The Endurance 720 by

Hampton Yachts is a solid,

long-range cruiser for smallboat

owners ready to step up.

There comes a time in many yacht owners’ lives

when they’re ready to make a serious jump

in size and profile from a smaller weekend

cruiser, but are not quite ready for a superyacht. The

70-foot range is a sweet spot for buyers of this mindset,

who value seaworthy design and construction,

the kind of redundant systems that permit extended

periods of time away from shore and a broader range

of cruising amenities. For this customer, Hampton

Yachts hits its mark with the latest addition to its

Endurance Series, the broad-shouldered 720.

We sea-trialed this new model off Fort Lauderdale

recently in challenging conditions with 20 knots of

wind and 3- to 4-foot cresting waves of short duration

and an occasional big boy thrown our way. She

performed exceptionally well. I and my six fellow

were head-on. The hull did not slam in the errant big

wave and subsequent trough, there was no squatting

aft in following seas and there was no significant roll

on any heading. Contributing to the ride comfort were

the 12-square-foot fins of the standard Wesmar roll-fin

stabilizer system and a pair of 1,150-horsepower C18

Caterpillar diesels. In the sloppy conditions, we were

able to maintain a steady average fast cruise of 18 knots

at 2000 rpm, and a respectable 14.7 knots at 1750.

For all her ride comfort, the 720 also is a quiet-running

boat. Working closely with Soundown, the Hampton

technicians installed a 6-inch layer of the company’s

noise-deadening material in the soles along with a lead

liner and fiberglass insulation. The master stateroom and

crew quarters, fore and abaft the engine room, are treated

similarly. Soundown product is also glassed onto the top

of the prop tunnels to cut down on noise from blade turbulence

produced at low- or high-speed operation. Sound

levels ranged from a mere 62 dB(A) at 1000 rpm to a

gentle-on-the-ear 69 dB(A) wide open.

On the construction side, the boat is as tough as they

come. She is fitted out with heavy-duty hardware, rails

and cleats, and she shows not the slightest hint of deck

flexing underfoot. But for all the qualities that go into

her tough and robust build, the Endurance 720 is also

wrapped in the kind of amenities and accommodations

Her low-profile exterior includes a Portuguese

for those, she’s well-found for cruising with a standard

Garmin electronics package, Intellian HD satellite TV

system and Dummy Dome, and 1,800-pound heavyduty

davit with power turn and lift. The skylounge

houses the helm console, a dining table, a seating area

and a head. A beautifully crafted staircase leads down to

the main deck with its galley forward, a bar, the formal

dining space and a sumptuous main salon.

The Endurance 720 also has redundant systems

that should appeal to long-range cruisers. These

include a pair of dual Racor 1000FG fuel filters on

each engine, a pair of 20-gallon water heaters with heat

exchangers, two Kohler gensets at 28 and 15.5 kW,

two 72-foot (22-meter) Glendinning Cablemasters,

a pair of Newmar 50-amp battery chargers, backup

raw-water pumps for the a/c system, hydraulic power

steering pumps on both engines, two water supplies

on each shaft log and a selector switch that allows you

to tie in all the batteries aboard for 1,900 amps just in

case you need the power for emergency starting.

When it’s time to make the jump from small

cruiser to a more comfortable midrange vessel,

Hampton’s 720 Endurance is a strong candidate for

consideration. With a smart combination of solid

construction, luxury amenities and high-quality fit

and finish, she sets a fine heading upward in size

range while remaining quite manageable for the

owner-captain ready to test new limits.

HOW A RENOWNED AMERICAN-BUILT YACHT

HELPED SET THE STAGE FOR THE END OF

WORLD WAR II.

President Franklin Delano

Roosevelt confers with a naval

officer aboard the presidential

yacht USS Potomac.

On January 23,

1942, just six

weeks after the

attack on Pearl

Harbor, the

U.S. Navy purchased

the yacht

Delphine and put

her into dry dock

in River Rouge,

Michigan,

not far from the family estate of

Horace Dodge, the automotive

titan who had her built. Delphine

was not the only yacht so acquired.

In a crash program to beef up

America’s impoverished fleet, the

Navy acquired scores of hulls, but

the 258-foot steam yacht Delphine

alone was destined for immortality.

Fast forward to November

1943. Adolf Hitler’s grip on continental

Europe had scarcely been

weakened by costly aerial bombing.

Combat in the Pacific was bloody and slow. Main Street America

was reeling from war deaths and injuries, and the Allied leaders

were stalled by a bitter divide over the war strategy to defeat

Germany. Along with Winston Churchill, U.S. President Franklin

Delano Roosevelt had concluded the only way to bridge the divide

was to present the American plan (D-Day) and the British plan

(invade the Greek Islands) to Joseph Stalin and let the Soviet marshal

decide. The pivotal meeting of Allied leaders was set for the

Iranian capital of Tehran.

The plan was for FDR to board the battleship USS Iowa in the

Chesapeake Bay for the voyage across the Atlantic to Algeria, where

he would board a plane and fly to Egypt, and then another plane to

fly up to Tehran. The 6,700-mile journey would unfold in four perilous

legs, each to be conducted in utter and absolute secrecy lest it

all fall apart from the beginning.

“Those of us who had to do with the planning for this expedition

were very conscious that the president was running grave personal

risk in such extensive travel by sea and air,” said FDR’s naval aide,

Lt. William M. Rigdon, “because we believed that, if the enemy

BELOW AND FACING PAGE: Roosevelt lounges aboard the USS

Potomac in 1936. The steam yacht Delphine in wartime

trim as the USS Dauntless.

could learn of his whereabouts, they would spare no effort to attack

by air, submarine or assassin.”

The Need for Secrecy

FDR decided no one should know of the trip lest there be leaks—no

newspapermen, no friends of the family, no members of his own

cabinet, not even Congress. Rather, he would sneak out of the

White House under the cover of darkness, board his special train in

Washington, D.C., and be taken down to Newport News, Virginia,

and transferred to the Iowa.

Except to a nautical man, it made no sense.

John L. McCrea, captain of the Iowa, was on patrol off

Newfoundland when he was ordered to return to the Norfolk Naval

Operating Base to ferry Roosevelt across the Atlantic. When briefed

on the plan, he had second thoughts: “I was standing out there

on deck, and I thought, everybody—Admiral [Royal E.] Ingersoll,

Admiral [Ernest J.] King, the president, everybody that I have talked

to—has said that this is a very secret mission. But if the president

catches a special train and goes to Newport News, everybody in

tidewater Virginia is going to know what’s going on.

“All of a sudden it occurred to me,” said McCrea. “Why can’t I

come up here and meet him at the mouth of the Potomac, get him

on board ship and all the rest of these people? We can get down by 6

o’clock that night, fill up with oil. The tide serves about 11 o’clock,

and it will be high water and I can go on to sea.”

McCrea sent for his navigator. They looked at the charts for

Chesapeake Bay, and sure enough it seemed to work.

“The president could come down to the mouth of the Potomac

on his yacht, the Potomac, and that would be the end of it. The

only people who would know that he was leaving Washington at all

would be the people there at the naval base and also the people at

the Navy yard.

“Admiral Ingersoll looked at me, and he said, ‘I approve. Take

my plane and go back to Washington right now.’ I got on the plane

and away I went. I went in and saw Admiral King. He said, ‘I

approve. Go to the White House and see the president.’ I did, and

the president said, ‘I approve.’ And that was it.”

But that wasn’t it. The president might easily slip out of

Washington on the Potomac, but his cover story wouldn’t last if the

rest of his party were outed. The Joint Chiefs of Staff and their

senior admirals and generals had to get to Tehran too. Thankfully,

a second yacht was available: King’s flagship, the USS Dauntless,

better known to yachtsmen as the Delphine.

From Yacht to Warship

When war broke out in 1941, ships were urgently needed and few

were better qualified for service than Delphine. She was one of the

biggest yachts of her day and could sleep 50 sailors and carry 20

guests in handsome staterooms, many with en suite heads. Her

volume, thanks to a 35-foot beam, made her ideal as the floating

command post for King.

She was gutted after the Navy acquired her in January 1942.

Large, panoramic windows in her hull were replaced with portholes.

Much of the boat deck was ripped out to accommodate six

self-launching liferafts, and the aft promenade deck was cut away

for an anti-aircraft gun. The superstructure was extended forward

some 10 feet to accommodate more crew bunks, and .50-caliber

machine guns were added, six in total. New masts were installed,

one with new radar. A larger searchlight was placed on top of the

pilothouse.

Inside the hull, the dining room became a radio room, pantry

and officers’ wardroom. The guest staterooms on the lower deck

were subdivided into 10 smaller officers’ staterooms. The ship was

wired for electricity, and air conditioning was installed.

To complete the conversion, Delphine was dipped in the colors

of war—gray/green/blue camouflage paint—and designated Naval

Gunboat PG 61 (patrol gunboat), the USS Dauntless. Dauntless

arrived at the Navy Yard on June 16, 1943, and was moored to Pier

1. On June 17, King’s flag was broken and he moved aboard.

Enter Dauntless and a Ruse

To make McCrea’s plan work, Dauntless had to take 19 members

of FDR’s War Department down the Potomac to the USS Iowa in

the Chesapeake Bay. Foremost among those passengers were the

commanding general of the U.S. Army Air Force, Henry A “Hap”

Arnold, Army Chief of Staff and future Secretary of State General

George C. Marshall, King and 16 of the senior-most admirals and

generals in the Pentagon.

At 8 a.m. on November 11, 1943, on a cold, rainy, windswept

morning, sailors heaved Dauntless’ lines and the captain ordered the

ship to make way. With the yacht’s triple-expansion steam engines

turning, the conning officer eased Dauntless away from the pier and

into the Potomac with her bow pointed downstream. Her guns were

manned, although the smell of coffee perfumed the air and a buffet

of breakfast delicacies was set out in the salon.

With Allied spies in every port, Dauntless was as rich a target

as any, and for those aboard her, it was a painfully slow voyage—

eight hours to go just 100 miles. But at 4 p.m. it was over, and

no one was the wiser. Dauntless hove into view as she rounded

the mouth of the Potomac and came alongside the Iowa. The

Iowa’s accommodation ladder was lowered from its davits, and the

tedious process of transferring men and luggage began. McCrea

greeted each of his guests and had an officer waiting to take them

to their quarters. Because they would be traveling in a war zone,

they were also assigned battle stations.

Closing the Circle

Dauntless did her job admirably, but the job was only half done.

At 9:30 p.m., as she turned around and headed back upriver, the

president left the White House for the Marine Corps base at

Quantico, Virginia. Behind him, a gust of wind blew open the flag

that flew over the White House to indicate the president was still

in residence, part of the ruse to explain Roosevelt’s absence to the

press—that he was merely taking a short vacation cruising on the

Potomac. The president’s motorcade drove down the rain-slickened

roads and passed through the gates of the Marine Corps base and

out to the docks with only the base commandant knowing what

was going on. The president was lifted onto the Potomac—built in

1934 in Wisconsin as a Coast Guard cutter and converted to serve

as Roosevelt’s presidential yacht in 1936—and went right to his

stateroom and was fast asleep. The Potomac gunned her engines

and swung out into the stream. To her starboard, the Navy submarine

chaser SC-664 cast off her lines and pulled abeam, and

together they churned the brownish river into a soft boil and headed

downstream as armed lookouts and Secret Service agents scanned

the dark banks for anything suspicious.

“During the night we passed and exchanged calls with the USS

Dauntless and the USS Stewart, bound upriver for Washington,”

wrote Rigdon. “They were returning there after having transported

members of the Joint Chiefs of Staff party and their baggage to

the Iowa.”

Some five hours later, at 3:30 a.m., they pulled over to the side

of the river and came to a halt. “The Potomac anchored off Cherry

Point, Virginia, near the mouth of the Potomac River, to await the

transfer of the president and his party,” wrote Rigdon in his final

entry for the night. “Some five miles distant, farther out in the bay,

the massive Iowa could be seen riding at anchor.”

And there they waited for dawn.

“At 15 minutes before 9, the tiny, white presidential yacht

Potomac hove into distant view,” McCrea recorded in his diary as

he watched approvingly.

Rigdon remembered: “At 9:16 a.m., the president went aboard

the Iowa, using his special brow which was rigged from the after

sundeck of the Potomac to the main deck of the Iowa, just abreast

of the Iowa’s number three turret. At his request, no honors were

rendered as he came on board the Iowa.”

Instead, Roosevelt extended his hand and greeted the captain.

“It’s good to see you again, John,” he said. McCrea responded in kind.

Thus began the journey to what the world would come to know

as the Tehran Conference, a meeting held some 71 years ago, the

first-ever meeting of the Big Three, a meeting that set the stage for

the defeat of Adolf Hitler’s Nazi Germany.

L. Douglas Keeney is the bestselling author of more than a dozen

books on American history. His most recent book, “The Eleventh

Hour,” chronicles Roosevelt’s journey to Tehran and the behind-thescenes

negotiations that paved the way to D-Day.

CHRISTENSEN’S 160-FOOT D’NATALIN IV WAS DESIGNED FOR

The decision to take the fast ferry at the crack of dawn from Seattle

to Victoria, British Columbia, is a mistake. It’s hot, crowded and

noisy. The windows don’t open and there’s no outside seating. A

two-dollar cup of coffee comes with three refills and limitless capsules

of non-dairy creamer. And I have endured several hours of the

less-than-scintillating banter that results when friendly strangers

are confined together. I am so ready to get off this vessel.

As we move into the inner harbor and toward the dock, my spirits

lift. The sun has broken through the clouds and Victoria looks

beautiful. Straight ahead is the majestic Fairmont Empress Hotel; to

starboard, the imposing Neo-Baroque British Columbia Parliament

Buildings. And there, at the base of Wharf Street, stretched along

the inner dock, is the reason for my pilgrimage: D’Natalin IV.

The 160-foot trideck Christensen would be hard to miss even

if she weren’t the only superyacht in the harbor. She sports a dark

blue hull, white superstructure and red boot stripe—colors more

commonly associated with the classic, sporty elegance of a picnic

boat. And she wears them well.

D’Natalin IV’s story is not typical: Experienced owners decide

to buy a new build, against their better judgment. What got them

halfway there was an available yacht, unfinished, with hull and superstructure

already constructed. It cut their waiting time to 18 months

and gave them a chance to put their imprint on everything else.

“Everyone’s heard horror stories about not being on time or on

budget,” says Christian Bakewell, who was the broker and is also a

new-build specialist at Merle Wood & Associates. “I had experience

building a 50-meter with Christensen and could reassure them, and

as they saw all they could get out of it.”

The owners, Dennis and Judy Jones, had a hand in every decision

that went into creating this yacht. Jones, who built a pharmaceutical

empire before selling his business and retiring in 2000,

tells me his love of boating dates way back.

“Judy and I have been married 56 years—we were high school

sweethearts—and her father had a boat. It was lake boating. People

say you can’t water-ski off a 25-foot boat? Well, in the Marine Corps

I weighed 140 pounds and I did it,” he recalls with a chuckle.

It wasn’t until the Joneses chartered a yacht 21 years ago that

they got serious about having their own. “We kind of had one-footitis,”

Jones says about their progression from owning a 150-foot

Benetti to a 150-foot Feadship, and then a 151-foot Delta, which

they enjoyed for 15 years.

An elevator was a huge factor in their decision to go with

Christensen.

“My wife’s mother lived to be 96 and could have used our yacht

for another 10 years if it had an elevator,” he says. “And at some

point Judy said to me, ‘I don’t want to see us in that position.’”

With the elevator, the Joneses feel comfortable that they’ll continue

enjoying the yacht for another 10 to 15 years, and their kids will

have it to use as they get older, as well.

Carol Williamson of Carol Williamson + Associates in Portland,

Oregon, designed the interior spaces aboard D’Natalin IV as well as

several other Christensens, including Remember When, Primadonna

and Marathon. At the start of the project, Williamson visited the

Joneses’ 30,000-square-foot St. Louis home to get a feel for their style.

“Walking through with them, and hearing them talk about how

the design of the house had evolved, showed a desire for formal

spaces and informal spaces,” Williamson says. “Their home is very

traditional, and they wanted something more transitional for the

yacht, with traditional references and undertones to it.”

Half an hour after the ferry docks, I’m standing on the stern

of D’Natalin IV as Capt. Greg Clark shows me through this latest

launch in Christensen’s Custom Series. We start on the main deck

and work our way up, and a theme emerges: The spaces move from

quite formal to less formal to informal, both in function and in feeling,

yet the transitions are subtle and fluid.

In the main deck salon, gold, gray and cream tones create an elegant

atmosphere. Glossy American black walnut paneling encircles the

space and creates a divider between the living and and dining area,

where there’s a formal table with seating for 12.

“Warmth was important to them and reflects

who they are,” Williamson says. Judy Jones is a

needlepoint aficionado and put a lot of thought

into the handmade pillows she created for spaces

throughout the yacht, adding a personal and

homey touch.

The bridge deck is a more relaxed area with a

slightly different color palette—grayish-blue and

taupe with silver touches. A large flat-screen television,

a corner bar and several informal seating

areas combine to create a welcoming and comfortable

place for friends and family to hang out.

Clark says this deck is where the family really

lives. They love to be outdoors, so special effort went into maximizing

usable deck spaces all around the yacht. Aft, through sliding

glass doors, is an oval dining table for 12 and a settee across the

stern. Wind and sun breaks along the sides, as well as overhead

heat, ensure this space is comfortable in most weather conditions.

A vibrant navy and white color palette announces the relaxed and

fun vibe of the sundeck, where a hot tub forward provides a view for

bar seating. Amidships, a large bar and grill area to starboard with

c-shape seating and a dinette to port get the party started. Aft are

another dining table, chaise lounges and cocktail tables.

Six staterooms are aboard D’Natalin IV. A large main-deck master

What started the Joneses’ search for a new yacht was that they wanted an elevator and one

more guest cabin. They also wanted to be under 500 gross tons for operational reasons. Since

the 50-meter Christensens are on a short list of yachts that tick all of these boxes, we looked

at a couple of them, but none of them quite fit the bill. New construction was off the table

because of the lead time, but then my office got the inside track on a completed hull and

superstructure at Christensen, effectively cutting our build time down to 18 months.

I was on my way back from Europe and thought I would stop in New York to visit the

Joneses on their yacht in North Cove Marina in lower Manhattan, so we could at least

look at some drawings. I had Christensen render a profile of the yacht with a blue hull, as

Dennis had mentioned he always wanted one. From the moment I stepped on the aft deck

and spread the drawings out, it was love at first sight. Dennis and Judy liked that the yacht

seemed to be both masculine and elegant.

While she had six staterooms and an elevator, there were certain elements of the layout

(both inside and out) that would need some tweaking. I pulled out a red pen and said there

was no time like the present.

So there we were, sitting on the back deck of their yacht, red-lining drawings, and much

to their surprise they were really enjoying that process. I had been telling them building

a yacht can be a lot of fun if the proper controls and planning are set in place from the

beginning, and for the first time they were starting to see this. We quickly red-lined the

full-size prints I had brought with me. Then I snapped a picture of each page with my phone

and sent it off to Christensen so they could make the changes to the CAD file. An hour or so

later, they emailed back the edited version of the general arrangement plan.

When I brought the drawings up on my computer, both Dennis and Judy immediately

said they found it much more difficult to visualize the spaces on the tiny computer screen. The

more tactile method of actually marking up the large paper drawings was appealing to them. I

quickly called an architect friend of mine in New York and asked him if there was a reprographics

company close to North Cove, and he suggested one less than half a mile away. I jumped in a

cab with a memory stick in hand, returning with a full-size set of paper prints 30 minutes later.

Now we were back in business, back to the aft deck for another session of tweaking

the drawings. After another couple hours, those were now marked up, and again I snapped

photos of these full-size prints and sent them off to the yard to make the changes. And so it

went, this great old New York printing company banging out a new version for us to review

and me zipping off to pick it up at their shop and bring it back to the yacht. Then, late in the

afternoon of the second day, with martinis in hand, Dennis, Judy and I looked at the latest

version I had just spread out on the table, and they said, “I think we got it.”

I had built a 50-meter at Christensen before, so I had the workings of a very strong

specification already. I left New York and began working on a 300-page specification. With that

finished about a week later, the negotiations on purchase price commenced. Within two days,

we arrived at a price all parties agreed was fair, and a formal purchase agreement was signed.

forward has wonderful light from pairs of vertical windows on each side.

Big his-and-her closets and a bright, elegant bathroom hewn from white

stone are situated behind glossy woodwork at the head of the bed.

The remaining staterooms, two with single beds and three with

queens, are below the main deck and employ the same glossy woodwork

and soothing color palettes used on the main and bridge decks.

D’Natalin IV is a yacht that emphasizes “elegant but not overdone,”

as Clark puts it, and the feeling I have, after the whole tour, is

one of a boat designed to be loved—and well-used—by a large family.

Multiple access points from the crew area to the family spaces allow

stews to come and go without being obtrusive. A closet space off the

galley houses the mechanics of all the entertainment and communication

equipment on board. If there’s an issue, no one has to step over

a repairman working on his knees in the main salon. Even the galley,

which is bright and L-shaped, has a friendly, family feeling. Jones said

it was designed with input from his son-in-law, who loves to cook.

The shakeout trip took the family, in four groups, to Alaska for 60

days. Next up: a trip south and the whole family aboard for a Christmas

cruise through the Panama Canal, a stop in Cabo San Lucas, the San

Blas Islands, then maybe the ABCs of the Caribbean, and after that,

Europe. Unlike previous yachts christened with the D’Natalin name,

D’Natalin IV will not be available for charter because the yacht will be

used on a steady, year-round basis by the Jones family.

“Once or twice a year, the whole extended family will be together

on the boat,” said Clark. “Mr. and Mrs. Jones will come with close

friends throughout the year, but they also have two children and they

will all take turns bringing their families aboard for trips, as well.”

Clark, who has captained Christensens before, is happy with

D’Natalin IV. So are the Joneses. There were the usual “back and forths”

with the yard, says Bakewell, but in the end, all the parties involved really

liked one another and wanted to make it work. “They are the nicest family.

There really was an esprit d’corps,” he says, “a sense of, ‘Let’s build the

best damn boat we can.’ They’re going to have fun on this boat.”

As Clark waves me off the dock, I feel happy. Plenty of superyachts

are out there, but very few, I think, whose owners take full

advantage of their vessel. I look left and spot a line of seaplanes

and—inspired by my visit—I think, what the hell, and walk over to

book a flight back to Seattle.

When I take off the next morning, I look down at the receding

harbor. The sun sparkles off D’Natalin IV and she is beautiful,

serenely awaiting her next adventure.

While there is a boat show taking place somewhere every month of the year, none

has the range and diversity of the Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show. In

its 55 th year, the show is the largest in-water boat show in the world. This year it

will cover more territory than ever. Taking place October 30 through November 3,

the show attracts an international audience of hundreds of thousands of marine

enthusiasts to Fort Lauderdale. The show features nearly $4 billion worth of boats

and marine products across more than 3 million square feet of exhibit space,

offering something for everyone from superyachts to sportfishing boats to trawlers

to runabouts.

“Year after year our goal for the show is to enhance the overall experience for

visitors and offer industry professionals the best platform to conduct business,” said

Efrem “Skip” Zimbalist III, CEO of Show Management, the company that manages

and produces the show. “This year we have more exhibit space than ever before,

further-improved navigational aids and additional dining options all designed to ensure

that FLIBS remains the center of the yachting world.”

Lifestyle exhibits include a high-end auto display, helicopters, personal submarines

and a wide selection of the latest yacht and water toys. For those who are

just looking, the show offers plenty of fun including floating cocktail lounges, live

musical entertainment and informative fishing and boating seminars for adults and

children of all ages. Several noteworthy enhancements to this year’s show include

the addition of Pier Sixty-Six marina, which will serve as the show’s seventh location

and feature a display of brokerage yachts.

THIS YEAR’S BIG STARS

Here are some of the great yachts scheduled to appear at the show.

BENETTI VELOCE 140 | 137FT. 10IN. (42 METERS)

The Veloce 140, a new yacht in the Benetti Class Fast

Displacement range, makes her world debut at the

show. The new D2P hull, designed by Pierluigi Ausonio

Naval Architecture Studio and the Azimut-Benetti

Group, has exterior styling and concept by Stefano

Righini and interior design by Redman Whiteley Dixon.

At a 12-knot cruising speed, she is notably energy-efficient,

and she has the ability to steam at more than 20

knots in total comfort. The yacht features the largest

engine package ever mounted at the Benetti shipyard

in Viareggio, Italy: twin 3,500-horsepower MTU 12V

4000 M93Ls. She is also equipped with CMC Marine

electrical fin stabilizers.

Show location: Benetti display, Face Dock #14

RIVA MYTHOS | 122 FEET (37 METERS)

Built at the CRN shipyard in Ancona, Italy, Riva’s flagship Mythos

is a 35-ton aluminum planing flybridge vessel. Her top speed of

28.5 knots at one-third load and maximum continuous cruising

speed of 25 knots are delivered by twin 3,510-horsepower MTU

12V 4000 M93L engines. The Mythos achieves style points for her

pure Italian design—clean, modern and truly timeless. The yacht

was conceived with an eye toward environmental impact reduction,

which is the reason RINA classified the Mythos with its Green Plus

notation. The lower-deck garage houses a 16-foot-plus tender and

a Jet Ski, with an electrical/hydraulic platform perfect for diving or

launching toys with ease.

Show location: Ferretti display, Face Dock #7A-D

WESTPORT 130 | 130 FEET (39.6 METERS)

The Westport 130 trideck incorporates the best of

custom design in a proven platform. Conceived and

designed to be a low-maintenance vessel, her premium

materials are selected for easy care and long

service life, resulting in fewer haul-outs and less down

time. ABS-classed and MCA-compliant, the 130 is

equally well-suited for private use or charter service.

WESTPORT 164 | 164 FEET (50 METERS)

Westport’s flagship, the 164 trideck, accommodates 12 guests.

Launched this year, the newest 164 was designed in collaboration

with designer Donald Starkey and naval architect William Garden,

who developed a refined hull form for exceptional ocean-going performance.

A new accommodation plan balances interior and ondeck

spaces for maximum enjoyment and versatility, with contemporary

American Pacific Boatworks is debuting the 100-foot Bahama

SkyMaster, which recently launched at its parent company’s

Paragon Motor Yachts yard in Taiwan. Interior design is by Marty

Lowe. As her name suggests, the yacht is styled like a Bahamas

house, permitting lots of light via large vertical windows in the

superstructure designed to reduce incoming heat from the sun.

The iconic Bahamas cockpit concept features a large mezzanine for

outdoor fun in the sun. The 100 SkyMaster offers three king-berth

staterooms, a fourth queen-berth stateroom and an additional bunk,

along with accommodations for four crewmembers. Other unique

interior features include a panoramic dining lounge, an innovative

wheelhouse with three electric helm chairs and a spacious flybridge.

SANLORENZO SL106 | 106 FEET (32.3 METERS)

Built at the Ameglia shipyard in La Spezia, Italy, the Sanlorenzo

106 features a distinct new layout. On the main deck, an open path

leads from the salon to the dining room/family lounge at the bow,

creating a spatial continuity and permitting a full view of the yacht

from stem to stern. The salon terrace, which opens over the water,

enlarges the space and offers stunning views. Light and space characterize

the owner’s suite and guest staterooms. Engine options

are a pair of 2,200-horsepower MTU 16V 2000 M84 engines for a

maximum speed of 27 knots, or twin 2,400-horsepower MTU 16V

2000 M93 engines for a maximum speed of 29 knots.

INSIDE TIPS

FROM THE PROS

What makes the Fort Lauderdale

show a good place to discover charter?

The Fort Lauderdale boat show offers

hundreds of boats for sale, but it’s also the

best venue for prospective charter clients

to learn about chartering, as many of the

yachts on display also charter. I always

encourage clients to attend, as they can

step on board a variety of sizes, manufacturers

and styles of yachts in one central

location. There’s no substitute for actually

seeing, touching and smelling the

yacht that you’re interested in chartering.

Clients can also spend time with crew,

which is so valuable. One client recently

planned an itinerary with the captain and

went over menus with the chef during the

show. Fraser Yachts always has charter

brokers available to introduce clients to

charter and escort them through the maze

of boats, focusing on the boats that best

meet their desires.

Robin O’Brien | charter broker,

Fraser Yachts Worldwide

Why is it a good idea to walk the show

with a sales broker?

A broker can help a client zero in on the

best type of boat that fits a client’s criteria

and show lots of boats quickly. It’s a

real time-saver to work with a broker who

knows the client’s criteria, the boats and

the layout of the show. Also, at Northrop

& Johnson, we have a great database that

can guide a seller or buyer with price using

empirical data.

Ann Avery | sales broker,

Northrop & Johnson

What does the Fort Lauderdale show

offer the new-boat client?

The Fort Lauderdale boat show is the perfect

opportunity to purchase a new yacht.

Other than the Cannes boat show in Europe

being the first of many debuts for 2015, the

Fort Lauderdale boat show is the pinnacle

for the nautical season in the Americas.

Like many, the Ferretti Group will have

new 2015 inventory arriving from Italy just

weeks before the Fort Lauderdale boat

show, as well as a selection of previously

owned yachts that typically move very

quickly. The timing of this show is also

ideal since owners use their yachts heavily

during the peak holiday season from

Thanksgiving through New Year’s in the

Caribbean and South Florida.

Since so many headquarters for the

Americas are in Fort Lauderdale with satellite

offices in Palm Beach, Miami and

Stuart, Florida, clients can feel assured that

service and yacht management teams are

close by to help them get up to speed with

their new yacht.

THINK SMALL(ER)

Whether you’re shopping for a second boat or looking to downsize, the Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show offers

a staggering number of options to browse. We scanned the show landscape to find six models that fit that mold. They

are surely not the last word, but they represent some of the great smaller-boat offerings at the show.

MARQUIS 420 SPORT BRIDGE

While very much Italian by design, the stylish 420 Sport Bridge by Wisconsin-based

Marquis Yachts is American-manufactured all the way. Exterior styling is aerodynamic

and sporty thanks to Italian naval architecture firm Nuvolari Lenard, with a hefty bridge

deck that continues the concept of openness experienced in the yacht’s galley, salon,

cockpit and swim platform. Interior décor is modern and elegant, with bulkheads and

cabinets constructed from a variety of rich hardwoods. Twin 435-horsepower Volvo

Pentas affixed to integrated IPS 600 pods permit top speeds close to 35 knots.

Show location: G/H Dock

For more information: marquisyachts.com

PIRELLI PZERO 1100

At the cutting edge of what some call a “rubberized boat revolution,” Pirelli PZero

RIBs are increasingly in vogue. They serve a segment of the luxury market where it

has become difficult to stand out from the crowd, and the PZero 1100 series wins

serious points for originality. The PZero is no ordinary tender, combining remarkable

deck space with speeds in excess of 50 knots. Designed to hold up to 14 people,

the chic 1100 (11 meters) offers a bold, sporty ethos thanks to her silhouette and

hard-top helm. European sex appeal distinguishes the line, from Ferrari-red exterior

cushions and elegant teak finishes to the carbon hard top over a digital control

panel. The swanky console conceals a full-service head, closet and double bed. The

main deck has flexible seating at the helm and multiple lounge areas all the way

back to a spacious swim platform. The PZero 1100 is available with twin inboard

gasoline or diesel engines, or twin 300- to 350-horsepower outboards.

Show location: Land display 1068-1070

For more information: pirellipzero.com

CHRIS-CRAFT LAUNCH 36

This all-American tender (see also: day boat), which launched earlier this year at the

Miami boat show, blends tradition and style in a way that’s quintessentially Chris-

Craft. Whether she launches from the dock behind your house or from the tender

garage on your superyacht, the iconic lines of Chris-Craft’s Launch 36 will always

command attention. With an open bow and a sporty ride, the Launch 36 comes

standard with a pair of Volvo Penta V8s with Duoprop outdrives, or twin 430-horsepower

MerCruisers with B3 outdrives. Big surprises await belowdecks, with three

levels of teak trim and the ability to sleep five comfortably. The Launch 36 is a full

walkaround that offers multiple areas to gather and relax. The outdoor cockpit galley

includes an ice maker, refrigerator and microwave, with cockpit seats along both

sides of the walkthrough to the swim platform. A dining table rises from the deck

for entertaining. For driving comfort, try the plush triple helm seat panel on for size.

WIDER 42

If you missed the Wider 42 at the Miami show in February, don’t fret. This innovative,

fleet-footed express cruiser will be on exhibit at the Fort Lauderdale International

Boat Show and she just might blow your mind. Notwithstanding the sexy cabin with its

simple, yet elegant overnight amenities that include a standup shower and crazy-cool,

carbon-fiber toilet, the real action on this boat is in the sprawling cockpit. Essentially

a center console on steroids, this boat was created around outdoor living. The helm

is luxurious with carbon accents and a carbon T-top. The name Wider derives from a

pair of electro-hydraulically operated “wings” that extend out from the sides of the boat

and nearly double the walkable deck space at anchor, and provide stability. The boat’s

versatile stern section supports a sunpad with concealed space below that can be configured

to stow dive gear, a tender, a personal watercraft or a proper fighting chair. But

that’s not the end of it. With twin gas or diesel engines, Arneson drives and a stepped

high-performance hull, the thing is a rocket capable of achieving speeds of 50 knots,

according to the builder. Wider will exhibit a new 32 at the show as well.

Show location: Face Dock #5A-E

MJM 50Z

The MJM Yachts 50z is a bit of a wolf in sheep’s clothing. Glasses off, she resembles a

slew of Downeast-workboat-influenced yachts that have brightened harbors for decades.

But you’d never find this gem hauling pots in a Maine cove. You’re more likely to find her

hissing by you at 30 knots burning a fraction of the fuel her competitors do while treating

her guests to a comfortable, stable ride. The 50z, MJM’s new flagship, is the extension of a

range of similar craft designed by Doug Zurn, who was responsible for, among many other

great designs, Billy Joel’s Shelter Island 38. Among many other features Zurn brings to the

table is an efficient, stable, modified deep-V hull, along with distinctive lines that massage

the eyes—glasses on. The hull is constructed of lighter-weight epoxy composites, which,

along with its shape, enables the yacht to be driven with less horsepower while burning

less fuel than others in her class, MJM says. Standard power is twin Volvo Penta IPS 600s

that produce a top speed of 31.5 knots with a 28-knot cruise. With optional triples, top

speed is 38 knots with a 34-knot cruise. The yacht has port and starboard boarding doors

that open onto a bridge deck that is flush from cockpit to wheel.

ZEELANDER Z44

The Zeelander Z44 is not a new design, nor is she new to American shores, but this

unique, curvaceous, Dutch reimagining of a Downeast yacht remains a standout among

potential second boats for yachtsmen who want to cruise local waters with a heavy dose of

class and style. The first thing you might notice about this boat is her substantial freeboard,

which is out of character for a typical Downeast cruiser. This feature conceals what is

a capacious, two-stateroom interior. Her outfitting includes glove-stitched leather and a

generous complement of veneers both below and on her bridge deck. Her stout proportions

are tempered by stern sections that feature a little curl of tumblehome and a steeply

sloping transom that flips open to convert to a swim platform. Thrust comes from a pair of

Volvo Penta IPS 500s, which produce a top speed of 34 knots, according to the builder. In

a bit of irony, Zeelander moved production of the 44 from Holland to facilities owned by

S2 Yachts (builder of Tiara and Pursuit) in the Michigan town of … Holland.

REMAINS A WORLD LEADER IN THE FINISHING OF

he seaside towns of Carrara and Pietrasanta in northwest Tuscany

are flanked by the Mediterranean on one side and, on the other, by a

mountain range that appears to be covered in snow and ice, even in midsummer.

The illusion is thanks to huge tracts of exposed white marble.

Nowhere does the phenomenon appear in such concentrated quantities

as in the Apuan Alps, where a bedrock of unusually pure calcium

carbonate thousands of feet thick thrusts up through the earth’s surface.

First quarried by the ancient Etruscans, the region continues to supply

marble to stonemasons, sculptors and architects around the world. And

to yacht designers.

Thanks to the latest CNC and water-jet cutting techniques that

can produce lightweight and ultra-thin veneers, we now see marble

and other varieties of stone everywhere in the bathrooms, dayheads,

galleys and spa spaces aboard today’s superyachts. Even so, the sheer

range and quantity of such materials can be mind-boggling. Benetti’s

211-foot (64.5-meter) Silver Angel, launched in 2009, for example,

contains some 8,072 square feet (750 square meters) of marble, onyx

and granite—including a bathtub in the master bathroom milled out of

a solid block of white onyx—all weighing in at around 25 tons. More

recently, the interior of Solandge, the 279-foot (85-meter) Lürssen

reviewed in the September/October issue of Yachts International, features

more than 40 types of stone, even backlit composite stone containing

semiprecious red carnelian and amethyst.

These materials are sourced from around the globe, but one marble

aboard Solandge in particular—calacatta Carrara—comes from the quarries

of Tuscany. It is one of a family of classic gray and white marbles for

which the region is famous. But the purest, most noble variety of all is

statuario. With a translucence that makes sculptures come alive, it is no

coincidence the Italians describe it as pietra viva, or “living stone.” Some

other marbles from Georgia and Colorado in the United States, or the

islands of Naxos and Paros in Greece, are just as white but usually too

soft or shot through with hard quartz crystals to be worked with hammer

and chisel. Michelangelo’s sculptures, including his famous statue

“David” in Florence, were hewn out of statuario marble.

“In every block of marble I see a statue as plain as though it

stood before me, shaped and perfect in attitude and action,” wrote

the Renaissance artist. “I have only to hew away the rough walls that

imprison the lovely apparition to reveal it to other eyes as mine see it.”

Yacht designers regularly travel to the region to source marble for

their interior projects. Bertozzi Felice is one of innumerable local firms

that supply the industry with lightweight veneers cut by CNC machine

from solid blocks of Carrara marble. The veneers are mounted on an

aluminum honeycomb substrate (in addition to saving weight, the honeycomb

dampens sound and vibration). All stone is porous to a greater

or lesser extent, and marble, especially, usually requires treatment to

seal its surface, although Bertozzi Felice avoids this process whenever

“Marble is also beautiful when it’s vissuto or aged; it’s something

you live with and watch grow older,” says company Director Fabrizio

Rovai. “On yachts, we usually treat the stone with oil and water repellents

to preserve the polished finish and prevent staining, but we’re

always careful not to affect the color.”

One interior designer who prefers her marble to be pristine is

Katharina Raczek, formerly a partner in the Hamburg-based Newcruise

studio. She is known for her exceptionally clean interior design, which

in turn demands faultless execution and installation. A clear example of

this style at work was 203-foot (62-meter) motoryacht RoMa, built by

Viareggio Superyachts. The bespoke dining table in the main salon is

made of onyx and maple, but the absence of any visible grain or veining

means the materials are barely recognizable as natural stone and wood.

Raczek is not alone in her search for perfection: Michelangelo in his later

years was known to destroy sculptures if faults in the marble emerged.

“Natural stone has the power to dictate the design of the room,”

says Raczek. “An unwanted vein can destroy the look, or it can happen

that this fault creates the look of the space. More than any other material,

stone can guide the designer in relation to form, so it always needs

to be very carefully selected with regard to what you want to achieve.”

Some yacht designers are more adventurous with stone than others.

Bannenberg & Rowell, for instance, chose humble slate in the owner’s

head aboard 196-foot (60-meter) Trinity Bacarella to create what they

describe as “a Californian, natural, low-key vibe.” For Heesen’s 213-

foot (65-meter) Galactica Star, they chose a tone-on-tone application

of three varieties of marble: white Carrara, mid-brown gris de santa and

a rich, dark brown grecale stone. Donald Starkey selected a brown travertine

for the monumental elevator shaft on Feadship’s 213-foot (65-

meter) Trident, which was textured by sandblasting and fire-cracked in

a process known as flaming. An unusual marble called cipollino apuano

was used in the bathrooms aboard 164-foot (50-meter) Exuma, the first

in the Vitruvius motoryacht range from Picchiotti; when crosscut, the

white marble’s delicate blue veining has the appearance of fine Willow

pattern porcelain.

“It is notoriously difficult to come up with new ideas in such a historical

industry,” says Fabrizio Palla, sales manager at Savema, a company

based in Pietrasanta that has long been at the forefront of the stonework

industry. “The days of simple sawing and cutting stone to size are gone.

Now the architectural world is full of fantastical shapes that range from

huge concave and convex sails of stone to lighter and more intricate lacelike

forms that create a visual impact. Given this context, we wanted to

get away from the highly polished tradition of marble and try something

innovative that would also refresh the company’s image.”

The result was a line of finishes for wall cladding called Organic

Textures, achieved by flaming, grinding and firing high-pressure

water jets at Carrara white marble and Indian black granite. Palla

points out that fashions in stone change much like anything else and

that traditional marbles have lost ground as new or novel varieties of

stone, such as rose onyx from Iran, become more readily available.

Changing fashions is something Mark Tilley, an eighth-generation

English stonemason, is also familiar with. Having supplied both the

superyacht and cruise ship industries, he notes that colors tend go

Michelangelo’s Mountains

Any artist who has attempted to represent the human form in

marble travels in the wake of Michelangelo, who spent years in

the Apuan Alps searching out his perfect blocks of marble. Seventy-year-old

Renzo Maggi, for example, has worked as a sculptor

all his life and has a studio in Pietrasanta, a town renowned for its

art galleries (the nearby headquarters of Italian Sea Group, home

to the Admiral and Tecnomar brands, houses several sculptures on

loan from these galleries). Maggi is passionate about the marble

from the local cervaiole quarry, famed for its homogeneity and

relative resistance to shattering. Because of the calcite’s low

refractive index, light can penetrate into the marble before being

scattered, resulting in the characteristic waxy look that gives life

to sculptures of the human body.

Excavating marble by hand used to be backbreaking and

dangerous work, and Michelangelo risked his life during his expeditions

to secure the precious stone. Today, modern power tools

can cut through the marble as if through wood, but an element of

hardship is still part and parcel of working with such an obdurate,

unforgiving material. “Sculpting for a living is like cultivating olive

trees,” Maggi says while patting a block of his beloved marble.

“Olive trees have to suffer in order to grow—and it’s the same for

us sculptors.” —J.R.

in and out of fashion in two- or three-year cycles.

“A few years ago, I was supplying green marble and green granites to

80 percent of my clients, whereas now the trend is more towards natural

or light colors and textured stone,” he says. “In the superyacht industry,

we’re finding that clients are looking for something unique or unusual, so

by definition they are partly responsible for setting future trends.”

With names like chocolate brown, cabernet brown and frappuccino,

some marble products coming out of Italy sound tasty enough

to eat. When combined with innovative finishes that imitate leather,

wood or crocodile skin, they provide an infinitely rich palette for devising

fresh and exciting solutions. Marble has seduced architects and

artists for centuries, but thanks to today’s advanced technologies and

finishes, there is so much more to inspire the interior designer. Eat your

heart out, Michelangelo.

WHIPPING

smartly through the palm trees outside my hotel window was what

woke me up that morning. The plan we’d all discussed the evening

before was simple enough: Meet on board the Hatteras 100 Raised

Pilothouse at a very early, time-to-milk-the-cows hour—about 4

o’clock. I tapped my iPhone Weather Channel app, which prophesied

wind speeds of 20-plus knots, which meant at least 25 knots offshore,

maybe more. Rain spattered the window as I drew back the curtain

on a stormy, decidedly unpromising scene.

Capt. Greg Maduros met me atop the gangway, his hand extended.

And because we were both on the scene well before our planned

departure, we took the opportunity to tour the 100’s engine room,

a spot Maduros was very proud of. Entering via the watertight door

in the forward bulkhead of the crew’s quarters, I could see why. The

place was immense, with more than 7 feet of headroom, a walkway

between the mains that was nearly 6 feet wide, and easy access to

both Caterpillar C32 ACERTs.

The new owner of the 100, Maduros explained, had already possessed

five Hatteras yachts and several other vessels over a long and

salty lifetime, and he was well versed in all things marine, whether

that meant dealing with dirty fuel in dicey circumstances or specifying

clearly labeled ball-valve handles.

Then there was the commercial-grade way Hatteras had laid out

and installed the auxiliary equipment, from the port and starboard

battery isolators mounted on the forward firewall with aesthetically

pleasing precision, to the color-coded, clearly labeled electrical

cables connecting units in crisp, schematic patterns with cushioned

cable clamps and crisply applied, uniformly spaced cable

ties. Beautiful work. I could have stayed all day to appraise and

appreciate the numerous examples of craftsmanship down below,

but Maduros and I had a date with some chippy elements offshore.

The sky was lightening when we got back topside. And in short

order, I watched as Maduros worked his charge smoothly off the

dock, an exercise that was so obviously enjoyable and delicately controllable

that I was sorely tempted to break one of my big-time boattest

rules: Never maneuver a sold vessel unless the owner’s on board

and gives his permission. At the behest of the ABT bow and stern

thrusters only, the 100 slid sideways away from her berth like she was

on ice. And then, once we were well off, Maduros used the mains,

one ahead and the other astern (consecutively, not simultaneously),

to rotate into the fairway. I noted virtually no vibration or low-end

rumble at all during the process. And I could viscerally feel the torque

the Caterpillars were putting into the water—clicking a stick into

gear for even a second made the boat react.

Sea conditions well offshore were exactly what the iPhone had

forecast. Wave heights were averaging about 6 feet and the wind

was gusting to at least 25 knots, and maybe 30 occasionally. There

was a bit of good news, though. As luck would have it, the rains had

stopped and the sun was up.

What a ride.

Walloping shots of spray assailed the flybridge repeatedly, particularly

when we headed straight up-sea into the worst of it. But

still, the ride the 100 handed us was nevertheless purest, rockingchair

comfort, thanks partly to some finer aspects of the yacht’s

deep-gear-ratio propulsion system, and partly to

her whopping 270,000-pound displacement.

Harking back to sea trials of other Hatteras

motoryachts, where very deep gear ratios were

employed to maximize the operating efficiencies

of relatively hefty, albeit very seakindly vessels,

reaffirmed the sound logic that you just can’t beat

a deep gear ratio in a big, heavy boat.

Driving details were equally sanguine. At the

upper helm, sight lines were virtually unobstructed

all the way around. At the lower helm,

the steep slant of the windshield, the thickness

of the windshield mullions and the comparative

lowness of the overhead gave the area a claustrophobic

feel. Sound levels were fairly low here,

though. And, at both the upper and lower stations, the powerassisted

steering seemed smooth and produced a comparatively

broad turning radius, as befits a big boat with straight-shaft propulsion.

The average top speed, which we measured closer to the

shoreline in lesser seas, was respectable at 22 knots.

representation of the sumptuousness of the 100’s five-stateroom, sixhead

interior (with two-stateroom crew accommodations astern), there

are a couple of standout features that bear mentioning. First, the galley,

located on the main deck, is as seriously residential and smart as

it is homey. Couple a platoon of full-size Jenn-Air appliances with

wraparound cabinetry, an oak-planked deck, a large stool-surrounded

island in the middle of things, and a couple of skylights overhead (with

remote-controlled sun shading), and you’ve got a country kitchen that’s

as fine as any you’ll encounter ashore.

And then there’s the strikingly large lounge area abaft the helm station

on the flybridge. It’s about as inviting as a veranda with palm trees

and magnolias. Under the part that’s shaded by the hardtop, there’s

a bar area to port and an ample, top-loading freezer and big L-shape

lounge to starboard. All the furniture is mix-and-match modular and

made of fiberglass, with top-shelf baseball-stitched upholstery. Farther

aft, beyond the hardtop, and thus open to the sky unless the canvas fly

(stowed under one of the lounge seats) is deployed, is space for a heavily

built teak table with a set of comfy teak chairs. Thick undergirding

teak decks add a warm, classical touch to the ambiance.

“So you’re off to the Ocean Reef Club this evening?” I asked

Maduros, after we’d returned to Turnberry to await the arrival of

the 100’s owner. Maduros was leaning against the highly stylized

railing that sidelines the stairway between the main deck and the

raised pilothouse. He’d explained earlier that the railing had been

precisely water-jet cut from a single sheet of 3/8-inch stainless

and then welded and polished to a fare-thee-well, a job that had

required literally days of skilled labor.

“Yeah, for Vintage Weekend,” he replied. “Our owner loves to look

at the antique yachts and stuff.”

Which didn’t surprise me in the least.

IN THE

DRONES HARVEST INCREDIBLE PHOTOS AND VIDEO, BUT ARE THEY INVADING

OUR PRIVACY AND THREATENING OUR SAFETY?

BY

KIM KAVIN

DECEMBER

We heard it before we saw it. At first the buzz was distant, as if

somebody in the marina had started an electric motor, but within

seconds, the hum was like a nasty horde of hornets. The deafening

sound from the sky shattered our quiet lobster lunch. By the time

we even realized it was headed our way, the drone was upon us.

“How close are they allowed to get?” one guest asked, raising

her napkin to her face as if she might duck behind it for cover. “Can

it fly across the cockpit?” another guest wondered with worry. The

captain shook his head, watching the remote-controlled machine

with spinning metal parts fly closer and closer to his multimilliondollar

command with its entangle-worthy rigging and beautifully

finished hull. “I don’t know,” he said. “I just don’t know.”

Drones are suddenly everywhere on and about the water. Like

‘IF I’M ON A YACHT AND I SEE A DRONE, SHOULD

I BE WONDERING IF IT’S GOING TO DROP A

BOMB? IF I’M THE CAPTAIN, I’D PROBABLY TAKE

A BASEBALL BAT AND TAKE A SWAT AT IT.’

personal watercraft, all-terrain vehicles and snowmobiles, we love

them when we’re the ones using them, but otherwise, they can be a

nuisance. Moreover, they represent a growing threat to our privacy

and our safety as we seek the escape and serenity yachting affords.

While they produce dazzling images, still and video, their inherent

intrusiveness is pushing boundaries not even the most invasive

paparazzi can reach. And the disturbing truth is, there may not be

much we can do about it.

Civilian-owned, propeller-driven drones are a relatively recent

phenomenon. With a decent-quality drone that can be had for less

than a thousand dollars, a photographer can fly up and over the

sundeck, hover in the cockpit or peer into a yacht beach club. He

can zoom in on whatever he wants. He can chase us on water-skis

or Sea-Doos and gain 360-degree views of us no matter which direction

we turn.

Legal experts compare the

rapid rise in drone use and the

privacy questions they’re raising

to the outrage that came with

the mass availability of cameras

in the early 1900s. Some

of those privacy concerns obviously

linger today and, in some

respects, are far worse than

earlier generations feared, but

with cameras installed on every

smartphone in the world, that

shutter long ago snapped closed.

As privacy law stands today, in

many places, the law is on the

side of the drone operators along

with other camera users.

“It’s completely creepy,” says

Erik Syverson, a Beverly Hillsbased

partner at Raines and

Feldman who deals with highprofile

clients and specializes

in privacy law. “Assuming it’s

buzzing overhead, I don’t see any

privacy rights here at all. You’re

out in open water, you’re out

in public, you’re in marinas—I

don’t think the law has any privacy

tools in this scenario.”

That remains true no matter

how the drone is outfitted, which

today can mean everything from

a GoPro camera to infrared

lenses and 3-D capabilities. As

with any new technology, when used for good, the results can be

smashing. When used with ill intent, you want to smash it.

“It’s the Wild West,” says Andrew Amato, editor-in-chief of

Dronelife, which covers drone news. “We live in a time and a place

where people are asking can I instead of asking should I. By the end

of the year, there will be a drone on the market that you can fit on

a WaveRunner and tell it what angle you want, and it will take off

and follow you on the WaveRunner. Great idea—but if you drive

the WaveRunner near the yacht, it will crash into the boat. Sure you

can, but should you? Probably not.”

Governments worldwide are working on ways to catch up with

evolving drone technology, such as requiring users to have a pilot’s

license. In America, drone enthusiasts are taking a hard line against

the Federal Aviation Administration, which says commercial use of

drones is illegal. Arguably that could include professionals shooting

boat brochures and guest or crew use aboard yachts operating commercially

for charter—but some experts say there aren’t actually any

statutes, case law or legislation that make the FAA rule legitimate.

In other words, the FAA has questionable legal ability to back up its

demands for people to stop using drones commercially, and it has

in fact lost a few recent cases where drone operators fought back

with lawyers.

Experts say time will sort out the legal issues. In the case of

privacy, the law is already clear and the fight is likely to be short.

“There’s a body of law there that can handle it,” says media attorney

Mark Caramanica, an associate with Thomas & LoCicero in

Tampa, Florida. “Cooler heads prevail, and we establish norms of

Ihow these things are going to be integrated.”

In the case of safety, though, there is a legal war to be had, and it’s

being waged now. On all sides, people say the same two things:

Drones aren’t toys, and users have to think before they act. Of

course, reality is often the opposite, which is why the drone issue

came to a head this past June at the biennial Newport to Bermuda

Race. Organizers made their own rules about drones, outlawing

them at the starting line.

“They said nobody is allowed to fly them at the start because the

helicopter pilots were concerned,” says marine photographer Onne

van der Wal, who got his first drone in March. “I agree with that

because there are too many idiots flying drones, unconcerned with

what’s above you.”

At the same time, van der Wal says, safety issues soon give way

to the public domain and an individual’s right to take photos on the

world’s waters. “I’m above the water 95 percent of the time,” he

says. “Rhode Island just put in a law that says you’re not allowed

to fly those things over sports games or festivals or places with a

high concentration of people, but those laws don’t affect me. Most

times, I’m out in the water with one boat doing a project. Who’s

going to stop me out there? Sure, the Coast Guard can come out,

but I’d stop and put it away, end of story.”

Even the makers of drones are urging buyers to act responsibly.

One marketer says his biggest concern is a drone—with spinning

blades and metal parts—hovering over a crowd at an event like, say,

the St. Barths Bucket. If the battery dies and the drone goes down,

someone could end up in the hospital.

ABOVE: Some state legislatures are enacting laws that ban drones over

events with high concentrations of people. The concern is not privacy, but

safety. What if a drone’s battery dies and it crashes down into a crowd?

Syverson says safety concerns also could give way to legal

actions involving harassment and intentional affliction of emotional

distress. After all, in our world today, not all drones are benign

instruments carrying cameras.

“If I’m on a yacht and I see a drone, should I be wondering if

it’s going to drop a bomb?” he asks. “If I’m the captain, I’d probably

take a baseball bat and take a swat at it. Are you going to get sued

for destroying property? Maybe, but you also have fear of assault.”

At the end of the day, we all want the photos and videos; even

the professionals are amazed at what’s possible with the new angles.

“Oh my God, how the hell did you do this?” one art director asked

van der Wal recently. “It’s pretty exciting stuff,” he says.

And yet, we also don’t want to be sitting in our cockpits or riding

in our tenders or doing anything else with drones making us feel violated.

As the law is being argued, yacht owners may be among the

world’s leaders in determining what will, and will not, be allowed.

“The downside of someone operating a drone like this is that

you’re picking fights with people who have money and who are generally

not strangers to litigation,” Syverson says. “They can generally

fight this out and figure out where the lines need to be drawn. For

now, I guess, what’s that Frank Sinatra move? Break the camera and

throw some hundred dollar bills at the guy. Write a check for the

drones. Sooner or later they get the message.”

AZIMUT OFFERS ITS NEW GRANDE 95RPH IN THREE

Divεrsi

rsiτ

τy

y

VERSIONS CONCEIVED FOR SPECIFIC WORLD MARKETS.

By Alan Harper

Cultural stereotypes: wrong, of course, but fun nevertheless. The

new Azimut Grande 95RPH comes in three versions. Each is carefully

tailored to suit the various ways in which the shipyard’s experts

perceive that boats are used in different parts of the world.

Such knowledge is hard-won. When new yachting markets

open, the first wave of salesmen surges in like a doomed frontal

assault, to be chewed up and spit out like so much cannon fodder.

The second wave sometimes fares better, but it’s usually the more

analytical adventurers—those who skirt the edges of the field, work

out their tactics and choose their moment to attack—who eventually

triumph. Diplomacy, flexibility and, above all, an open mind are

essential to successful outcomes with clients like the businessman

from the tropics who declined to specify a crew cabin because, he

explained, his captain would sleep on the flybridge. But what about

a head? Put it in the engine room, he replied.

Azimut has been around the block a few times, and the shipyard’s

layout choices for the Grande 95RPH are more rational than

radical. They might be based on perceived cultural norms, but the

concepts are so carefully thought-out that whether you’re from

China or the Czech Republic, you’re likely to find plenty to recommend

them all.

The Dragon version is light on sleeping space but big on social

and entertainment areas. You wouldn’t have to be a karaoke fan to

see its potential as a serious party boat. A European layout, which

Azimut regards as the standard, has the traditional huge owner’s

suite on the main deck, relatively formal seating and dining arrangements,

and plenty of crew accommodation—the ideal combination

for luxury cruising with family and close friends. The version aimed

at American owners is all about liberty, equality and gastronomy,

with an open-plan country kitchen galley on the main deck and a

substantial bar and barbecue area on the flybridge. Down below,

meanwhile, less space for the crew means more generous—and

egalitarian—guest accommodation.

I like the look of all of them, but ours, the first Grande 95RPH

(RPH stands for raised pilothouse), was a “standard” vessel with

the European layout. Even this offers plenty of choice, with its two

alternative cabin arrangements on the lower deck, three flybridge

options, an optional hardtop and four separate interior schemes

designed by Achille Salvagni. The salon is divided in the conventional

way between seating and dining areas, and with its giant

expanses of glass and low-level furnishings—the TV drops down

from the deckhead—it has a cool and inviting ambiance. Headroom

is a whopping 6 feet 11 inches.

Salvagni’s Riviera decor on this first 95 includes white lacquer

and leather trim, contrasting hardwoods including teak and oak,

marble surfaces and a main companionway of onyx, which, as an

option, can be illuminated by internal LED lighting. It also offers

some attractive and high-quality detailing such as little leather

stowage pouches in the guest cabins and tactile, white, eggshell

lacquer on the bedside cabinets, with the lacquer complementing

richly varnished mahogany. A silk-lined sliding screen separates the

salon and dining area from the owner’s accommodation.

No alternative layouts are offered for the master cabin on

the European version, but then it’s difficult to see how it could

be improved. Full-beam with 6 feet 6 inches of headroom and a

generous floor area, it would feel pretty spacious even without the

huge windows, which provide some of the best views on board and

saturate the whole space with daylight. A large walk-in wardrobe

leads off from the entrance lobby, and the marble bathroom, down

five steps, occupies a substantial portion of the bow. Below are four

guest suites: two doubles and two twins, the latter with a drop-down

Pullman berth each. These share the lower deck with comfortable

three-cabin crew quarters, accessed via the galley.

All three versions of the 95 are offered with three engine

choices, from the 2,200-horsepower MTUs installed aboard this

first example up to twin 2,600s. Mounted on V-drives and set well

aft, even the smallest power option proved well up to the task. The

95 has an easily driven hull with just 7.6 degrees of deadrise at the

transom and a small skeg aft to provide some grip. We recorded a

maximum speed of more than 25 knots and established that the

yacht was happy in the cruise at any planing speed over about 16

knots. Zero-speed fin stabilizers are an option, and a worthwhile

one, virtually canceling out roll at rest and reducing outward heel

when cornering underway. Sound levels were low: 64 decibels in

the wheelhouse at full chat and 71 decibels in the salon.

For all of Azimut’s efforts to satisfy the whims of a disparate,

international boating market,

perhaps it’s the things that don’t

change from one version to

another that make the Grande

95RPH such an alluring proposition.

The external spaces, in

particular, are superb. A huge flybridge

spans the full beam of the

vessel and stretches over almost

half its length, shading a cockpit

that can comfortably seat eight

the vast saltwater estuary is home to an

Indeed, it is the proximity of so many

natural wonders to a scattering of attractive

cities dotted along the Puget Sound coastline

such as Bellingham, Everett and Tacoma that

help make the area such a yachting hotspot.

ISLAND LIFE

You do not have to travel far from Seattle to

get a taste of island life. Nestled in the “Heart

of the Sound,” sits Vashon Island, boasting

beautiful beaches, eclectic restaurants, and a

vibrant arts scene. Whether you’re looking for

a quiet, romantic place to relax or activities

for the entire family, the island has it all.

Also easily accessible from Seattle by yacht

is Whidbey Island, featuring magnificent views

and rural charm, as well as one of Washington’s

finest vineyards thanks to the island’s grapefriendly

rainshadow climate.

JEWELS IN THE CROWN

The jewels in the Puget Sound crown

are unquestionably the wonderful San Juan

Islands. Comprising 172 islands and well

over 300 miles of shoreline, the San Juans

are renowned for their beautiful vistas, quiet

woodlands, orca whales and one of the last

remaining native prairies in the region.

For yachtsmen, the islands are extremely

well supplied with amenities and activities, and

in Roche Harbor they boast one of the finest

marina resorts anywhere in North America.

This is an area that has it all. Whether it’s

exploring the bright lights of Seattle, wildlife

watching or kayaking in the San Juans,

or simply kicking back and enjoying the

resplendent views as you cruise along Puget

Sound, there is something for everyone.

BRITISH COLUMBIA:

THE LAST

GREAT

ESCAPE


Nestled within the northern reaches of the Pacifi c Northwest,

the sprawling province of British Columbia boasts a rugged,

majestic landscape, its natural wonders providing a stunning

location for yachting visitors.

MAGE GALLERY

W

hile the traditional cruising

destinations of the Mediterranean

and Caribbean still carry a strong allure, there

is increasing demand among yacht owners and

charterers to explore the parts of the world that

remain comparatively untouched.

Step forward the Pacific Northwest, and in

particular, the vast stretch of water extending

from Vancouver, British Columbia, all the

way up to Alaska. Here you can fi nd one of

the last great remote yachting destinations,

where you can experience sights, sounds

and sensations that are a world away from

the Cote d’Azur.

Great lakes, snow-peaked mountains and

piercing clear blue skies are just some of the

natural wonders that await you. Wildlife is

plentiful too, with yachts able to get up close

and personal with such magnificent species

as black bear and humpback whales.

One thing is certain: both natives and visitors

alike agree that there is nowhere quite like this

wide expanse of coastline and its panoply of

offshore attractions. To whet your appetite

further, here are some of the regional highlights:

VANCOUVER

The coastal seaport city of Vancouver is a

bustling, diverse city that retains the charm

of a small, quaint town. Set against the

backdrop of an imposing mountain range, it

is very much a place to be enjoyed outdoors.

But delve beneath its grand surface and you

will find a core that is buzzing with cultural

and recreational delights including superb

restaurants and a vibrant nightlife.

At the epicenter of the city’s yachting life is

Coal Harbour, a section of Burrard Inlet lying

between downtown Vancouver downtown

peninsula and Stanley Park, and featuring

parkland, private marinas, several rowing and

boating clubs and a community center.

WHISTLER

Inland two hours north of Vancouver, Whistler

comprises two snow-capped mountains

renowned for their exceptional skiing and

snowboarding, as well as ...Continued

...Continued golfing, luxury shopping, gourmet

restaurants, hiking and picture-perfect vistas.

Situated at the base of Whistler and

Blackcomb mountains, Whistler Village

is offers luxury spas, valley trails, zip

lining adventures, horseback riding,

peak to peak gondolas, biking trails and

unbeatable nightlife.

VICTORIA

Nestled west of the mainland on Vancouver

Island, Victoria is one of the jewels of the

Pacific Northwest. The capital city of British

Columbia, it boasts some of the region’s

most exhilarating scenery, with an ocean or

mountain vista around every corner.

For sporting types, the cosmopolitan city

provides an array of opportunities including

golfi ng, hiking, biking and fi shing, while

nightlife options are varied with theater,

restaurants, and bars dotted across the city.

DESOLATION SOUND

Named by Captain George Vancouver

in 1792 after its desolate surroundings,

Desolation Sound is one of the most popular

cruising destinations along the region’s Inside

Passage. A coastal haven of majestic fjords,

towering peaks, cascading waterfalls and

pristine lakes, it provides countless wellprotected

anchorages scattered throughout

its spectacular cruising grounds.

The almost complete absence of

development or settlement creates a sense

of wilderness that is becoming increasingly

difficult for yachting adventurers to find in

our ever-shrinking, densely-populated world.

And it is this quality that encapsulates British

Columbia more than anything else.

The ‘Other’

Caribbean

Much of the charter fleet bases in the northern islands of

the eastern Caribbean, but the Tobago Cays are well

worth the ride down south.

TOP: A crowded day at the beach in this lesstraveled

part of the Caribbean means just three

or four tenders. ABOVE: Locally caught lobsters

are charbroiled to buttery perfection during a

sunset barbecue on the beach.

The Caribbean Sea is bigger than most of us realize. It’s bigger, in fact, than the

Mediterranean, but because most of the yachts congregate at the top of the

Caribbean, a skewed image of the region’s charter possibilities is the norm. Itineraries

often seem limited to the islands above, say, Guadeloupe, because that’s about the distance

that can be covered during a one-week charter out of Antigua or Sint Maarten. Clients willing

to cruise farther afield can start at St. Vincent and head south into the Grenadines, with

the reward being truly memorable anchorages like the one in the Tobago Cays. They’re one

of the best-kept secrets in one of the world’s most popular charter destinations.

Here’s the thing to know about cruising into the Tobago Cays: You have to stand on the

bow, looking over the side at the clarity of the turquoise water. It’s so unusual in its green

and blue hues that even longtime Caribbean cruisers will think, I wonder if we took a wrong

turn back at Bequia and ended up in Bora Bora.

Also, it’s imperative to engage in some mental preparation, because the Tobago Cays

can be home to yachtsmen who have gone slap-happily native. Up in, say, Sint Maarten,

it’s wall-to-wall superyachts with buttoned-up crew, but down in

the Tobago Cays, charter guests share the waters with liveaboard

cruisers. It’s not unusual for guests on the aft deck of a superyacht

to cruise past a deeply tanned man standing full-on naked in his

cockpit, blonde dreadlocks blowing in the breeze halfway down his

back, waving as exuberantly as a 5-year-old child.

Even the wildlife is different in this part of the Grenadines.

The Tobago Cays are a marine sanctuary, so the sea turtles are not

only everywhere, but also are huge. Snorkeling alongside them feels

almost like seeing nature for the first time, with all the curiosity and

joy that implies. The moments are somehow both once-in-a-lifetime

and countless, every single day, for as many days as an itinerary

allows between stops at Bequia, Mustique and other pearls in the

Grenadines chain. Really, 10 days is better than a week here. The

extra days allow a more leisurely pace all the way down to Grenada.

This winter is going to be a good time to visit all of these places

thanks to a few top-notch charter yachts that have announced availability.

Quality charter yachts in the Grenadines are far fewer than

in the northern Caribbean, and the stars this winter are expected to

include Northrop and Johnson’s Aquavita, which is the only Westport

164 (50-meter) available for charter worldwide. Also 164 feet and

heading to the Grenadines this winter is the Benetti Jo, with Camper

and Nicholsons International.

Burgess Yachts says early word is that

147-foot (44.8-meter) Vitters Lady B

will be sailing in the region this winter,

while Fraser Yachts Worldwide

is promoting 96-foot (29.2-meter)

Ferretti Alandrea.

No matter which yacht you book

for the Grenadines, when you get to

the Tobago Cays, be sure to stand

on the bow and look out over that

pristine water as you enter the harbor.

That memory will stay with you

forever. And hopefully, the tan guy’s

dreads have grown a bit longer and

are now completing the scenic view

by serving as a modest toga.

Bohn is no stranger to

the yachting industry.

With a background in

restaurants and aviation

catering, she realized a

passion for food at an

early age, which inspired

her to earn a degree in

culinary arts. Since graduating

cum laude from

the Art Institute of Fort

Lauderdale in 2005, she has combined her three life loves: cooking,

traveling and the ocean to pursue a career as a professional

mariner chef.

In recent years, Bohn’s travels in the Caribbean, France, Italy,

Greece, Montenegro, Croatia and up and down the U.S. East

Coast have been her

best culinary teachers,

helping her place

awards. Bohn’s adventures

have encouraged

her to branch out into

a more eclectic style of

cooking where today

she caters to the palates

of many happy

guests on board Amitié.

“I consider myself

As we slip into the cooler months of autumn, our energy levels

go up along with our appetites, and our thirst for certain wines

changes. The last of the summer strawberries, raspberries and

blackberries are picked, and corn on the cob, watermelon and

squash become the seasonal ingredients. The chef’s menu

reflects the transitional period between seasons.

The first course of goat cheese crostini with strawberry, sweet

onion and orange will pair beautifully with a bold rosé from

Tuscany, crafted by Marchesi Antinori’s coveted Super Tuscan

house, Guado al Tasso. The Tenuta Guado al Tasso Scalabrone

rosato, 2013, is made

from 40 percent cabernet

sauvignon, 30

percent merlot and 30

percent syrah. Aromas

and flavors of red berry

fruits pair perfectly with

the fresh strawberries

and blood orange. The

clean, bright flavors and

touch of mineral will

bring just the right balance

to the goat cheese.

prosciutto salad or the garlic butter and tarragon poached spiny

lobster tornedo. Both dishes have similar flavor profiles with the

arugula and grilled asparagus. Green vegetables such as these are

difficult to pair with wine because their flavors can dominate the

palate. In this case, one type of wine that comes to mind is sauvignon

blanc. With its earthy green notes and honey character, the

Château Pouyanne, Graves, France, 2010, makes just the right

pairing. Made from sauvignon blanc and semillon, aromas of tart

lemon and granny smith apples contrast, yet complement, the prosciutto

and lobster. The palate has flavors of white grapefruit and

green pear accented by hints of dried basil, honey and a beautiful

minerality accenting the arugula and grilled asparagus.

Moving into the blue cheese-crusted, dry-aged beef tenderloin

entrée, we find several bold flavors. A wine that is full-bodied and

robust with voluptuous flavors such as merlot is a very good option.

In keeping with the theme of the dish, I highly recommend the

Leonetti Cellar merlot, Walla Walla, Washington, 2009. The warm

2009 vintage produced a gorgeous merlot with pure fruit flavors of

berries and plums, which complement the tang of the blue cheese

while mirroring the flavors in the reduction. Notes of cedar shavings

and mocha make for an incredibly long, lush finish with velvety

tannins working in tandem with the tenderloin.

For the dessert of cream cheese pound cake with lemon vanilla

glaze, a wine with some sweetness and acidity is required. Have you

ever tasted torrontes? To truly enjoy it, one must head to the southern

hemisphere of Argentina. Arguably Argentina’s most famous white

grape, this aromatic varietal is a knockout. Made in a late harvest style,

the Susana Balbo Late Harvest torrontes, Mendoza, Argentina, 2010

is beautifully perfumed with aromas of rose water and jasmine, which

marries well with the hints of lavender in the ice cream. Flavors of

fresh citrus, lychee, honey and peach all come together in a stunning

marriage with the cream cheese pound cake and lemon vanilla glaze.

CHARISMA 153’ (46.63m) : : Feadship : : 1985/2008 : : $14,900,000

Without doubt, CHARISMA is the most desirable of the classic Feadships. Following a complete rebuild in 2002 which included a fresh new interior and Euro transom, she has been

consistently maintained and upgraded by her dedicated Owner. She is presented in first class yacht condition, and is offered for sale for the first time in 10 years. With 6 staterooms,

she has been a favorite in the charter market, and has provided an enviable return to her Owner. She complies with all regulatory authorities in the Mediterranean and Caribbean and

has several charters booked for the coming seasons.
