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.

natural light, panoramic views through elongated windows and a private balcony. The
exterior has a sun lounge forward with a glass-fronted hydro-massage pool and lounge
chairs. According to the builder, lighting design promises to be a highlight, with special chiaroscuro

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

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
Metrica, which was also involved as a subcontractor on the original build, was
enlisted for continuity. The yacht also underwent a 10-year class survey.

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
exterior styling of a Sport Yacht. The engine package
will allow economical displacement cruising for more
than 4,000 miles, although it will have the option to
reach 25 knots when necessary. The new Sunseeker
flagship is scheduled for delivery in 2017.

EXTENSIVE REFIT COMPLETED
ON EXPLORER YACHT ALUCIA
The project management team at Diverse Projects
says it has completed its most complex refit to date:
a 12-month refit of 183-foot (56-meter) explorer vessel
Alucia.
Built in 1974 by Ateliers et Chantiers C Auroux
as a heavy-lift ship and platform for diving and submersible operations,
Alucia required extensive upgrades to continue her commercial
SOLAS standards and stay in survey for her multifaceted
operational requirements. Both main engines and four gensets
needed purification systems installed, which involved reworking
the vessel’s internal exhaust system. Alucia also underwent full
maintenance of and an upgrade to her submarine and dive control
systems, and replacement of her interior overhead lining.

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.

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.

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.

performer, with an impressive 27-knot top speed and a

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.

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.

just abaft the helm station (similar to those on the
swim platform, but longer and narrower) begin folding
down slowly, ultimately going virtually flat. “Adds
more room to the party,” he says. Then, for safety’s
sake, he quickly lifts five sets of outboard guardrails

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
guests—three of them prospective owners—noted

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

When it’s time to make the jump from small

consideration. With a smart combination of solid

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

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.

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.

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.

LAUDERDALE INTERNATIONAL BOAT SHOW
MONTH
2014

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.
VIP EVENT AT
THE BIG BOAT
PAVILION
Eighteen members of the Superyacht
Builders Association will be on hand at this
red-carpet pavilion on the water. On the
opening evening of the show, these builders
will hold a VIP invitation-only “Florida
Sunset” event with canapés and drinks
in association with Yachts International
and the Marine Industries Association of
South Florida. VIP cards will be issued for
a dedicated superyacht tender from the
Hilton Fort Lauderdale Marina, where valet

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.

With millions and millions of miles logged, Nordhavns not only go the distance, they have
achieved more circumnavigations and ocean crossings than all our competitors’ models
combined. From our smallest ship to our newest and biggest Nordhavn 120-foot super
yacht, each design has proven to safely and comfortably deliver its owners to the furthest

All those miles require a lot of time spent at sea. So we’ve made Nordhavns as
luxurious and comfortable inside as they are capable of cruising the globe.
Exotic stone surfaces, the nest hardwoods, highly-considered layouts and a smooth
steady ride make your Nordhavn feel like home no matter where you happen to be.

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
styling that ensures lasting appeal.

PARAGON MOTOR YACHTS 100 SM | 100 FEET (30.48 METERS)
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.
Show location: F/G Dock
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.

A hammer and chisel are the

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

“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

possible, as it can lead to discoloring.
“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.

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.

DRONES HARVEST INCREDIBLE PHOTOS AND VIDEO, BUT ARE THEY INVADING
OUR PRIVACY AND THREATENING OUR SAFETY?

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

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
or 10 around a table the size of
a family car. For more secluded
CLOCKWISE FROM TOP: A complex of
curving staircases, leading from the
main deck up to the wheelhouse
and down to the guest cabins; a

stateroom forward; the 95’s huge
fl ybridge with its hardtop, sunroof,
bar and hot tub; looking forward

the vast saltwater estuary is home to an
abundance of wildlife, including bald eagles,
sea lions and the endangered orca whale.
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.

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.

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.

A native of Fort
Lauderdale, Chef Tonya
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
among the winners
at the 2012 Antigua
Concours de Chef
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
a culinary artist,” says
Bohn. “My dishes are

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.
Our second wine

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.

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.
