Anew era has dawned for Amels’ Limited Editions range of superyachts. Unveiled during a unique live-streamed event in Amsterdam on March 31, the 262ft Amels 80 is the latest edition to the legendary Limited Editions line. The idea to evolve the Amels Limited Editions came two years ago. The range of superyachts vary in size and design, a variety which has increased with the introduction of the largest Limited Editions to date, the Amels 80. In keeping with the Limited Editions legacy, the Amels 80 is a proven technical platform with a customizable interior. The exterior design is thanks to the yard’s long-term partner Espen 0ino (pictured right, top), who was chosen for his deep understanding of the nature of the sea. For interior design ideas, Demen Yachting turned to…

We won the Millennium Cup in New Zealand three years ago with an 82ft Southern Wind called Ammonite; it was my first superyacht regatta. For the past 12 months, I’ve had a 90ft Southern Wind, but it’s been a bit of a nightmare because of Covid-19. Here in Australia, we were not allowed to have the right amount of crew on board. I was disappointed that there was nowhere to go so I made the decision to sell the boat. I even booked the ship to send it to Europe, but then my darling wife, Caroline, woke up one morning and said she had a dream that we were at Da Paolino restaurant in Capri, which is set among lemon trees. The kids run the place while the old man…

I must thank one of the yacht owners interviewed this month for sharing the secret to happiness – a three-ingredient recipe he received from a friend. I could let you look for it among the magazine’s pages, but I am kind-hearted, and so, for once, I won’t bury the lede. So here is the secret: “You must have something to do, you must have someone to love, and you must have something to look forward to.” But don’t stop here. Explore the many stories in this month’s magazine for more wisdom and inspiration for what’s next. Could it be a charter on board the iconic explorer Octopus or a trip to the edge of space? You may wonder, as I did for a short while, why a story about space…

FISHER FLIPPED A sportfisher on steroids” gets turned at the Royal Huisman shipyard The construction of what has been described as the world’s largest sportfisher vessel – designer Vripack’s creative director, Bart Bouwhuis, coined the phrase “a sportfisher on steroids” – enters a new phase after its aluminum hull was turned right side up in March. Yard workers who supervised this nail-biting event were dwarfed next to the imposing 171ft-long hull. The pale sun cast a golden light on the hull’s graceful lines, high bulwarks and the outline of a large fishing cockpit as the cranes turned the hull. Royal Huisman has subcontracted construction of the aluminum superstructure so as to keep to an efficient timetable, and the next major phase in the superyacht’s construction will be the assembly of…

Founded by Johann Rupert, chairman of luxury group Richemont, and former chairman of Cartier Franco Cologni, the Michelangelo Foundation is a non-profit institution devoted to highlighting the work of European artisans. Entirely self-funded, it was created with the intention of encouraging artisanal commissions and promoting the transfer of centuries-old skills to future generations through scholarships and other initiatives. The most ambitious of these is the Homo Faber Guide, a curated online database of ateliers from across the continent, specializing in a wide range of disciplines. You can browse through a list of Europe’s finest woodworkers, silversmiths, cabinet makers, glass-blowers, book binders, instrument makers, board-makers, basket weavers, metal sculptors, milliners, embroiderers and more. In order to make the list, each artisan is assessed on II criteria of excellence – including their…

It was the late Rhode Island Ford dealer and drag racer Bob Tasca who coined the phrase “Win on Sunday, sell on Monday” in relation to motorsport as a marketing tool. The mantra certainly held true for Yamaha back in 1979. The marque’s French importer, Jean-Claude Olivier, and team-mates Cyril Neveu and Gilles Comte, entered the first edition of the famously grueling Paris-Dakar Rally on largely unmodified versions of the then recently launched XT500 singlecylinder trail bike. Neveu and Comte demolished the two- and four-wheeled competition to take first and second place. Neveu won again the following year, and in 1981, the 6,200-mile race through the desert was sanctioned by the FIA and FIM, prompting Yamaha to launch a motorcycle specifically for long-distance riding in harsh terrain. The bike, unveiled…

Summit Already a bestseller within Summit’s award-winning Sundeck collection, the Director’s Chair looks set to continue its success with the release of three new colorways. It was imagined by yacht and furniture designer John Munford exclusively for Summit, who based his sleek interpretation of a classic Hollywood director’s chair on the practicality of British camping gear. Crafted from smooth, natural teak and powder-coated stainless steel, the chair can be easily stowed, stacked or transported, and makes a statement in a new monochromatic color palette of bold black, crisp white or ultramarine blue. summitfumiture.com Cantori More than a decade after unveiling the Twist armchair, Cantori has reinterpreted its iconic design for outdoor summer spaces. Fans of the original will recognize the chair’s stainless-steel open back wrapped in its signature twisted bands,…

One of the best things about flying into the South of France is the view. The brilliant blue coastline is peppered with hundreds of yachts. On this flight, however, just one of the boats below us demands our attention: the 413ft explorer Octopus. The following day, in the port of Marseille where her new owner’s team is wrapping up a refit before Octopus departs for the Galápagos, I finally see her up close. Her navy blue hull and skyscraper decks are hugely impressive, while on the inside she is welcoming and warm. Although she has been refitted, her history is palpable. There’s much to learn about Octopus, and everyone involved in her story is finally ready to talk, after decades of silence. Why was Octopus such a secret? In 1998,…

Striking turquoise waters lash the rocks beneath my feet as I look towards a tiny uninhabited landmass that lies just off the shoreline of the Chrysochou Bay on the westernmost peninsula of Cyprus. And in 30-degree heat – as it often is from April through November – it seems strange that the cliffs behind me are verdant and covered in thriving shrubs and flora, rather than the bleached coves that we often see across the rest of the Med. What is perhaps even more surprising for such a serene setting is that there is not a yacht in sight. With almost 400 miles of coastline, Cyprus is a curiosity – being not one but two nations, de facto, with the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus occupying one-third of the island…

Cory Silken Based at his fine art photography gallery in Newport, Cory shoots both commercial and private assignments for discerning clientele in the yachting and luxury lifestyle industries. For this issue, he captures the Ocean Alexander 35R Ziggy (page 92). What was the best thing about Ziggy? It has a spacious interior for a 116-footer. The design really takes advantage of that, making it feel bright and allowing great window views. We really lucked out with the weather, with poor conditions clearing just in time for the brief opportunity we had to get the running shots Your most memorable shoot ever? That would be when I was on 156ft Wisp in Norway. With the owner’s support and working with the talented crew and great team at Royal Huisman made for…

Readers with an interest in maritime history might know that the name Royal Oak was chosen for a string of British battleships built between 1664 and 1916. The last of these was the Revenge-class vessel that sunk at Scapa Flow in Scotland’s Orkney Islands after being torpedoed by a German U-boat with the loss of 835 crew. The name was originally used in memory of the tree in Boscobel, England, in which Charles II hid from Oliver Cromwell after losing the Battle of Worcester in 1651. His restoration as King of England two years later led to the tree being dubbed “the Royal Oak”, and the name adopted for British Navy warships a decade or so later. More peculiarly, however, it was also chosen by Swiss watch house Audemars Piguet…

Tai Ping Childhood memories of Sunday afternoon drives along Mulholland Drive were the starting point for a pair of designs for Overview, the new hand-tufted rug collection by French-American architect and decorator Elliott Barnes for Tai Ping. (He is also behind the company’s Paris showroom, which opened last year.) Urban cityscapes are translated into light and shadow using soft wool and delicate silk. In a change of style for Tai Ping, the designs blend a graphic Californian aesthetic reminiscent of the 1970s with a groovy pop culture feel. taipingcarpets.com Perennials Fabrics and Rugs New beginnings and a fresh take on design was the thinking behind Perennials’ understated Cloud 9 collection of elegant fabrics and customizable rugs. The scheme of crisp neutrals reflects the idea of starting from a clean slate.…

Raynaud Scalloped edges have long added a decorative twist to lampshades and rugs, but nowhere are they more enticingly regal than on Raynaud’s new Mazurka tableware (above).

Each piece is fringed in gold, and the palette layers together so you can mix and match.

Sitting in the coastal village of Bocca di Magra, this classical villa has been home to one of Italy’s most prominent families since the 19th century, and with its sophisticated turret and opulent loggia it’s easy to see why. The 4.5-acre estate is perched on La Spezia’s dramatic coastline and presents a perfect opportunity for a superyacht owner in search of an elegant base in this yachting hub. The property was fully restored to its former glory by the current owners in 1970 and remains in immaculate condition. The palatial decor employs polished marble floors, silk damask wall coverings and intricately carved cornices throughout. With eight bedrooms and 12 bathrooms, it is split into two units; the first of which boasts views of the Magra River – where superyachts often…
