Each year at our Design & Innovation Awards (revealed on page 27), we celebrate a single designer with a very special Lifetime Achievement Award, honoring his or her contribution to the field of superyacht design. There was no debate about this year’s winner. Few can boast a resume like Tim Heywood’s: Topaz, Pelorus, Al Raya, Symphony, Al Mirqab, Radiant, Quantum Blue… and they’re just the yachts over 100 meters (330ft). But to all this, I’d like to add another, utterly extemporized award: the nicest guy in yachting. Despite all his success, Tim remains totally unaffected and commits himself year after year to helping us unearth new design talent with our Young Designer of the Year competition. Never seen without an impeccably tailored blazer, neatly trimmed mustache and an ever-present smile,…

Think back to your earliest yachting adventures and it’s likely you captured your trips – and, perhaps, subsequently bored friends back home – with a series of amateur snaps. Today, it’s a different story. Owners and charterers have a wealth of innovative professionals at their disposal to help them create a lasting memory of their experiences in a way that’s meaningful to them. From lino prints that capture the mood on board at the time, through to marble dragon eggs collected at stops along the itinerary, it’s fair to say there’s no memento you can’t conjure up and have made into a reality. COMMISSION AN ARTIST When entrepreneur and explorer Victor Vescovo embarked on a mission to dive to the deepest parts of each of the world’s five oceans, he…

Fabulous dining doesn’t always have to mean haute cuisine. We asked superyacht owners to share their secret culinary stop-offs – from four-table tavernas to rustic beachside shacks – that offer stellar food off the beaten track Harry Vafias, owner of 183ft Benetti AE Cap d’Antibes and 154ft Feadship X Thalassaki Tinos Island, Greece There are brilliant tavernas dotted across the Greek islands but the tiny Thalassaki on the island of Tinos is an absolute favorite. There are only four tables and people fly in by helicopter from Athens just to eat there. Ifs run by a couple and the wife, Antonia, is in charge of the kitchen. The food is incredible; lots of fresh fish, homemade cheeses and homegrown vegetables and herbs. It is in the bay of Ysternia to the…

May rose, jasmine, ylang-ylang, sandalwood... these are just some of the rich notes in a bouquet of 80 scents that make up what’s arguably the most iconic perfume of all time. Allegedly the only thing Marilyn Monroe wore to bed, immortalized by Andy Warhol in the 1980s and part of the permanent collection of New York’s Museum of Modem Art since 1959, Chanel No. 5 was envisioned by Coco Chanel and perfumer Ernest Beaux in 1921, with the aim to create “a woman’s fragrance that smells like a woman.” It was created in Grasse, the small town on the French Riviera which has become synonymous with perfumery since the 17th century. Five was Mademoiselle Chanel’s lucky number, and legend has it that the fragrance she selected was the fifth sample…

I got my first boat, a Princess 37, with my father back in 1977. He didn’t take to boating much, but I took my Yachtmaster exam so I could navigate boats myself. Over the next 25 years there were II boats, seven of which were from Princess – and they just kept getting bigger. I always had a hankering for a big superyacht, so in 2006 I had a Benetti built over in Viareggio, Italy. In 2012 we were busy – we sponsored the show jumping team at the London Olympics and my son got married – and there was no time for boating so I sold the yacht. But two years later I missed that boat, and I decided I wanted to sail around the world. I craved adventure…

This year’s Design & Innovation Awards were unusual to say the least but, despite the Covid-19 crisis, builders still managed to deliver outstanding yachts and submit them for our prestigious event by the third week of October 2020. It was a competitive year, and 15 judges – all designers and industry professionals – selected winners by studying supporting materials including photos, videos, statements and specifications from a large field of entrants. Since in-person meeting was impossible, the judges’ debate was moved online. The virtual meeting took place over two days of lively discussion and voting, and we are pleased to announce the winners of this year’s awards – and two special commendations – in this issue. To find out more about each of our winners, including explanations of why they…

Most children ask for toys at Christmas, but Andrea Buccellati’s request was a little different: every year, he wished for some gold that he could turn into jewelry. That’s not so surprising given he is the grandson of Mario Buccellati, who founded the namesake business in Milan in 1919, opening a jewelry shop near the city’s La Scala opera theater and quickly becoming the go-to goldsmith for fashionable Milanese and royal families. “As a boy, I was fascinated by jewelry-making and always trying to learn from the craftsmen. They would help me manufacture small pieces I had designed, and I would then sell them to my grandmother,” says Andrea (pictured above). “I effectively joined the business at 15 or 16 years old. Every day after school, I sat next to…

With a passion for superyachts and a resume that lists some of the loudest, shiniest Hollywood blockbusters of the 1990s and 2000s, it must have crossed the mind of German director Roland Emmerich to make a supeiyacht-inspired flick? Well, sort of. “I’m always inspired by what’s in bookstores, and [years ago] I saw books about the Titanic everywhere – I said, ‘Oh my God, that would be a great subject matter.’ Then I talked to a couple of people and they said James Cameron was already doing one. I was a year too late.” He may have missed his chance to tell the most famous nautical story of the modem age, but he’s still racked up some of the most successful disaster movies ever made, with Independence Day, The Day…

“I was looking around at other similar-sized yachts and they were 20 or 30 years behind the Azimut with their design” Frisson is the response to an aesthetic stimulus, otherwise known as “chills.” For some, it happens when listening to Andrea Bocelli scientific term for a psychophysiological leave a part of his soul in a verse of Con Te Partiró. For designer Alberto Mancini, that frisson came unexpectedly, as it does, while he sat in the beach club of the Azimut Grande Trideck in the picturesque, tea-cup-shaped harbor in Monaco. “I was invited on board by one of the owners,” the Italian yacht designer says, “and I was looking around at other similar-sized yachts and they were 20 or 30 years behind the Azimut with their design. Honestly, it gave…
