If there’s one thing taking four young children on a charter teaches you it’s good design – particularly as it pertains to bulwark height, stairway steepness and easy-clean floors. For all these things and more the phinisi Dunia Baru proved the perfect platform on which to embark my four kids for an unforgettable tour of Raja Ampat (page 146). The great joy of commissioning your own yacht, of course, is having it tailored precisely to your needs. You can either direct a designer to do this, or, as in the case of Mimi la Sardine on page 126, take matters into your own hands. These owners went to the extent of creating a mood board on social media site Pinterest and used it to relate their vision to the shipyard,…

443FT ICE-CLASS EXPLORATION VESSEL What is it? Refit work on Octopus and Tatoosh sparked Jonathan Quinn Barnett’s imagination to conceive the perfect exploration platform for polar travel. Why we love it When just one helicopter won’t do… this explorer’s hangar stores three EC145s. Owners get a private deck with exercise pools fore and aft, and everyone will enjoy the top deck all-climate winter garden with opening roof, spa pools, waterfall and a living wall. While the design is scalable, Barnett likes the 24-guests-to50-crew ratio that 443ft allows and says that PYC doesn’t have to mean utilitarian. ESPINOSA 100FT FAST YACHT What is it? JC Espinosa’s fresh take on the 100-footer, with a sweeping superstructure over a modified semi-displacement hull that’s capable of 22 knots. Why we love it The modern…

Until recently, US-based watch fans had to travel to Europe in order to lay their eyes on the latest horological launches. But that changed last year when the Miami Design District (right) and Fondation de la Haute Horlogerie brought the Watches & Wonders program to the city. Its second iteration featured more brands on display and attracted huge crowds over the course of the three-day event (the Design District was just a 10-minute shuttle drive from the Miami Yacht Show). Proceedings kicked off with a pre-opening cocktail party at the area’s hottest new restaurant, Swan (Pharrell Williams is a partner), followed by a concert in Palm Court by the Miami Symphony Orchestra. Ulysse Nardin threw an extravagant bash at the Yacht Show, and lengthy queues formed outside the Hublot boutique…

Famed Danish design house Georg Jensen is known for its partnerships with artists. Its latest collection, Frequency, is a collaboration with LA-based interior designer Kelly Wearstler, known for her modern take on Hollywood glamour. Wearstler studied the similarities between California’s coastline and the Scandinavian landscape for the collection. Inspired by the connection between water and light, she has used steel in reflective, wave-like forms. “The wave is an iconic form from nature,” she says. “It has a pure spirit that resonates on a visceral level.” Frequency Small Hurricane, $195, Large Hurricane, $250, georgjensen.com…

Details have been disclosed of a selection of the yachts that are scheduled to appear at OneOcean Port Vell marina in Barcelona, Spain, for the 2019 edition of The Superyacht Show. The event, which is being held from May 8 to 11, is organized by the Large Yacht Brokers Association (LYBRA), whose members will exhibit more than €750 million ($840m) worth of yachts, varying in LOA from 98ft to more than 260ft.

The wonderful thing about working with textiles is that it’s the icing on the cake,” says Francesca Muzio, co-founder of Italian interiors studio FM Architettura d’Interni. “Color and texture set the tone and atmosphere for a space. They give a scheme its flavor.” And this season there’s no shortage of flavor among the new collections, with vibrant color palettes ranging from hot pinks and rust reds to teals, and high tactility through woven textures or rich embroidery. “Expect a cosmopolitan mix; eclectic points of inspiration that speak of history, travel and craftsmanship,” says Becky Metcalfe from the Design Centre in London. When it comes to trends, this season’s fabrics also provide plenty of drama. “Designs for spring/summer 2019 showcase noble materials and impeccable finishes, with richly embroidered detail, opulent brocades,…

Bill Joy never set out to change the world – but that’s exactly what this unassuming Midwesterner did in the late 1970s when he turned the world of software development on its head. Armed with an electrical engineering degree from the University of Michigan, he was accepted to graduate programs at Caltech and the University of California at Berkeley. Despite Caltech offering a teaching fellowship, he chose free-wheeling Berkeley and that made all the difference. “Reagan was the governor of California then and there had been massive budget cuts to education in the state. The campus computer facilities were decimated,” he recalls. “It was like a forest fire; everything is gone and then new green shoots start coming up.” One of those new green shoots was Berkeley’s Computer Systems Research…

Golden Yachts’ unusual business model raises the question: is it really profitable to build yachts, manage them for charter and sell them years later? “Nobody keeps all these boats to lose money,” says chairman and co-founder Paris Dragnis. At the time of our interview, the sister company that his son John heads up, Atalanta Golden Yachts, managed 35 boats for charter, eight of which were built by Golden Yachts. There is a loyal fan base of charterers; 50 percent are repeat clients, who return to the popular cruising grounds of Greece year after year. Many are looking forward to trying the latest boat in the Golden Yachts fleet, Dragnis says. The yachts stay busy. In her first year, O’Pari 3 did more than 110 days of charter, and she was…

Rock is a deceptive boat. From the quay, she has the dimensions of a larger yacht, and her internal proportions are huge. Vripack went back to its drawings to calculate her measurements: – 145 gross tonnes – 1,765 square feet inside – 1,270 square feet outside Gross tonnage figures are hard to find for similar-sized yachts, but Rock is up there with boats just under the 100ft mark – the Princess 30M offers 162GT, for example. With a price tag of around $4.5 million, Rock works out as $31,000/GT. The figure compares favorably with an average Turkish build cost of more than $34,000/GT and a Northern European build cost of $45,900/GT. Her interior space amounts to 44 percent more than the average for similar-sized competitors, Vripack calculates, with 49 percent…

CL Yachts started with a blank piece of paper – but it knew where it wanted to go What would lead a world-famous and successful boatbuilder with 150 years of history to change its name? In the case of Cheoy Lee, it’s to make you take notice that its new line of CL Yachts aren’t your dad’s (or granddad’s) Cheoy Lees. With the introduction of CL Yachts, Cheoy Lee is reaching for a clientele of younger owners who use their boats differently. One look at the chic and contemporary styling of the CLB72, with its large windows and bright interior, and you know that this is a yacht for today. The Cheoy Lee name hasn’t gone away though, and Panu Virtanen, vice president of sales for CL Yachts, is quick…

Ben Harries London-based fashion and portrait photographer Ben Harries’ work has appeared in Esquire, GQ and The Times in the UK, where he has photographed everyone from Buzz Aldrin and Marc Jacobs to Vivienne Westwood. This month he shot aluminum wizard Alex Rasmussen (page 120). What inspires your work? Many things, but mostly daylight What’s the key to shooting a good portrait? Be prepared, and always expect the unexpected Do you research your projects beforehand? Always – I try to find out as much as possible. Google is a wonderful resource! How do you make your subjects feel comfortable? Talk to them. It’s too easy to get wrapped up in the technicality of getting the shot, especially if your time with them is limited. Always make sure you build trust…

What a colorful world George Venson has captured many an aesthete’s heart with his whimsical, painterly and irreverent line of textiles and wallpapers known as Voutsa. The artist and designer hand-paints his lush and vivid world, one which is dense in sinuous and geometric shapes and colors, and is inspired by his multifarious interests: flora and fauna; les Ballets Russes; and serpentine patterns, to name but a few. His exuberant work is the ultimate antidote to greige and predictable interiors. This season, he is inspired by florals rendered with a kaleidoscopic hand, and Rorschach-like dragon motifs. While best known for his wallpapers and fabrics, the maker also dabbles elsewhere, including in smoking jackets and luggage. voutsa.com…

This spring, La Prairie relaunches two products containing a golden caviar extract: White Caviar Illuminating Pearl Infusion, a serum; and White Caviar Crème Extraordinaire, a daily moisturizer. When combined in a daily regimen, they help diminish skin discoloration while simultaneously smoothing its surface.

TABLE PRO By Sabrina Monteleone-Øino The Monaco-based superyacht interiors guru on napkins, Lalique sharks and the new Raynaud range How do you decorate a table that reflects your personality? It should reflect the occasion more than your personality! l always like to mix it up with flowers, napkin rings, patterned napkins, place mats and glasses. Is it best to select a color scheme? Select a color scheme or even a theme: you can mix different colors as long as you stay in the same tones. For spring, I love using soft pinks, yellows and greens. What dining set is your current favorite? I absolutely love the new Aura set by Raynaud (below). It has a delicate light blue and white graphic pattern, which is highlighted by a subtle gold rim.…

The common bond among the three of us who own Big Sky is that we have homes in Big Sky, Montana, and are members of the Yellowstone Club. Steve Taylor and I are full-time residents while Eric Yonke spends most winter months here skiing with his family. It was Steve, a previous yacht owner, who suggested that if the right boat came along, we might look into joint ownership. Big Sky is all we could have imagined and more. Between us we have 11 children, so even though Big Sky sleeps 12, it is not possible to vacation together. Our three families talked things through and we have a schedule of six trips a year per family with time for eight to 10 charter trips. Steve oversaw a recent remodel…

Owners are slowly but surely becoming aware of the need to reduce the environmental impact of their yachts. With Mimi la Sardine, the Leslaus have replaced a “gas-guzzling” semi-displacement yacht with a cleaner and more economical displacement vessel. Two 1,800kW diesels (typically MTU 16V 2000 M93s) are generally used to power a 95ft, 28-knot, semi-displacement motor yacht. These will have an approximate fuel burn of around 160 gallons per hour at a cruising speed of about 20 knots. Of course, powered by a pair of 533kW Caterpillar diesels, Mimi la Sardine is much slower, offering a cruising speed of 12.2 knots when she consumes just 43 gallons per hour, while at 10 knots she sips just 19 gallons per hour – but what a saving in both monetary and ecological…

Why we love it: A crowd highlight at the 2018 Monaco Yacht Show, Aurora breaks the mold with its fresh use of space and a radical new look that sets it apart from the competition.

New teams from Malta and the Netherlands have also recently been accepted by Royal New Zealand Yacht Squadron as challengers for the 36th America’s Cup. The Malta Altus Challenge, supported by the Royal Malta Yacht Club, became the fourth contender. Pasquale Cataldi, an Italian-born property tycoon based in Malta and head of the development company Altus, is the principal backer. The sixth challenger, DutchSail, is supported by Royal Netherlands Yacht Club and Royal Maas Yacht Club. It is making history with its choice of Olympian Dutchwoman Carolijn Brouwer as helmsman.

I have always thought that one of the greatest challenges for designers isn’t creating something new, but being expected to come up with a fresh take on an existing “thing” – especially one that not only looks different but is also better functioning and more efficient. As a result of the recent downturn experienced by the watch industry, there has been a shortage of truly innovative and interesting new designs, in terms of aesthetics and engineering. So it came as a pleasant surprise to visit the Vacheron Constantin stand at this year’s SIHH show in Geneva and discover that the historic firm (founded in 1755, so the oldest dial name in continuous production) has developed a genuinely fresh and useful mechanical movement. Debuted in a new version of the Traditionelle…

Fiona Barratt-Campbell As befitting a former head of design for Kelly Hoppen, Barratt-Campbell (pictured right), now principal of her own practice, favors neutral base palettes and stresses the importance of using different textures in her projects. She relishes many aspects of a yacht’s interior, “especially when it comes to designing bespoke furniture. I love the challenge of integrated storage and the opportunity to be playful, with lots of hidden doors. The style absolutely has to remain functional and practical.” fionabarrattinteriors.com Suzanne Lovell Lovell began as an architect at Skidmore, Owings & Merrill before establishing her own studio in Chicago in 1985 to specialize in residential design and fine art advisory. “It’s second nature for us to integrate fine art into a project,” says Kristin Murphy Romanski, the company’s fine art…

In the distance, a buzzing cacophony like a nest of angry hornets vibrated up between the buildings and over the rooftops of Monaco. My champagne sparkled in the mid-May sunshine, and I lifted the brim of my Chanel sun hat to take a sip. “They’re coming,” someone murmured. We shuffled across the gleaming teak sundeck and leaned over the brass cap rail of an impeccably restored 1960s Feadship to view the street circuit’s legendary Tabac corner below. Just then a pack of 1970s-era race cars dodged and wove through the bend, jockeying for position as they shot down the avenue lined by a row of stately, historic Feadships. As the distinctive, soul-shaking roar of vintage horsepower rumbled past, I turned toward my husband, Chapman, with a Mona Lisa smile. How…

“She was booked for charter before even leaving the shed, just based off the renderings,” says Paris Dragnis of the new 279ft GRE Yachts flagship O’Ptasia. Standing on the quay at the yacht’s home marina in Athens, the chairman and founder of Golden Yachts gazes admiringly up at his new yacht. At 2,350GT, she is the largest boat to emerge from the Greek yard. And she sets a new standard among her Golden Yachts siblings for amenities and technical innovations to maximize guest comfort on board. Golden Yachts’ business model is distinct from most yards’. Rather than building a yacht for a client, or even on speculation hoping to lure the right owner, new yachts go into the charter market, managed by Golden Yachts’ sister company, the brokerage house Atalanta…

The brief An American couple are torn between two 200ft expedition yacht designs* with evenly matched specs but very different styles. Both can carry a helicopter and lots of accessories for exploring, but the first has sweeping, sloping futurist styling, the second sober, straight, purposeful lines. While the clients ponder, the owners’ rep worries that time will run out for 2019 build slots – so he’s reached a radical solution. To break the deadlock, he wants you to draw a fleet of toys and tenders to match one of the mothership designs and inspire them to commit – one way or the other. The owners This active couple, in their early fifties, made their fortune in tech. They have two college-age kids and love spoiling them with activities from heli-skiing…

A 12th-century villa once owned by Italian nobility, the blush pink Palazzo Avino perches 1,150ft above a dramatic stretch of the Amalfi Coast. Spread across a series of flower-filled terraces, it was once used as a hideaway by Hollywood high-flyers (with varying degrees of success – Ingrid Bergman and Roberto Rossellini were spotted cozying up here during their scandalous affair in the late 1940s). Today, the property’s vaulted ceilings and graceful balconettes allow guests to relive this glamorous golden age. Tender in to its recently renovated cliff-side beach club before the meandering drive up to the town of Ravello. Dinner is served on a candlelit terrace overlooking the bay at the hotel’s Michelin-starred restaurant, Rossellinis, where guests can sample the best of Italian haute cuisine (don’t miss grilled scallops served…
