I am thrilled to welcome back Terry Hutchinson, the skipper of American Magic, to our pages. He and his team enthralled us – and then scared us – during the last America’s Cup campaign when a squall effectively ended their bid for the Auld Mug in Auckland. But, like the real champion he is, Hutchinson doesn’t waste time dwelling on things past. It’s all about AC 37 now. He’ll keep us in the loop with the campaign and the lead-up to Barcelona a few times a year until the events in late 2024. Starting this fall, American Magic will be back to train in Pensacola, Florida, where they’ll re-establish their winter base before moving on to Spain. Farther down the west coast of Florida, another athlete will be training but…

ISA Yachts floats its new Gran Turismo 45 ISA Yachts, now part of Palumbo Superyachts, launched the 150ft ISA Granturismo Aria SF to great fanfare this spring. The ISA Gran Turismo 45 owes its sharp exterior lines, plumb bow and side arches connecting three decks - an ISA Yachts signature - to exterior designer Team for Design - Enrico Gobbi. The steel and aluminum yacht’s naval architecture is by Palumbo’s in-house engineering team, and Luca Dini Design & Architecture created the yacht’s interior. Primary colors and references to the automobile world complement a minimalist decor that emphasizes sea, light and air, the builder says. Aria SFs interior will be revealed when she debuts at the Cannes and Monaco boat shows this fall. “A heartfelt thanks to the owner, who actively…

When Nicolas Cantenot bought the beautiful 1948 wooden sailing yacht Margilic, he had grand plans for her. Together with four friends, the owner and co-founder of design firm Merveille Yachting had purchased the historic boat with a packed regatta calendar in mind. “I was the youngest and the idea was that the others would work a little less than me, and sail her a lot more than I could, ” he explains. “But actually the reverse happened. I was the one really managing the boat and I had no time to race her at all... meanwhile they all still had very busy schedules. “We could have lived with her for a while, ” he adds, “but we just thought, isn’t it a waste to have such a beautiful boat not…

INSPIRING YOUR NEXT ADVENTURE Perfectly positioned between the beaches of Ornos and Agios Ioannis, Kalesma was the most talked-about opening on the Greek island of Mykonos last year, and for good reason. It’s the first hotel by restaurateur duo Aby Saltiel and Makis Kousathanas, famed for the hip Pere Ubu and Sea Spice eateries in Athens. Whitewashed Cycladic-style suites spill down the hillside, each with their own dipping pool and identical pared-back interiors with stone floors, pressed concrete walls and putty-hued linens by renowned Greek design practice K-Studio. Larger groups can check into a pair of villas, which together sleep 14, and come with butler service and their own gym. Kalesma’s social spaces center around a pergola-shaded bar and olive tree-dotted terrace, where guests tuck into meze lunches of grilled…

In this issue, she gives the lowdown on the winners of our annual Ocean Awards (page 52). Which award winner did you find the most inspiring? They’re all inspiring. The one I found most intriguing was actually a runner-up: the whole tracker Möbius by Whale Seeker. I had no idea whales had such a role to play in combating climate change Your earliest boating memory? My first memory of being in a boot is rowing with my dad in the Bois de la Cambre park in Brussels. But the experience that converted me was going out on a fast sailing boat called Silver Rose in…

Brazilian builder Inace has presented the first of its Explora 90 models, named Waikiki, at the Rio Boat Show. Conceived by Fernando de Ahneida Yacht Design with naval architecture by Hydro Tec, the Inace Explora 90 is the first model the builder announced a couple of years ago in a line of yachts designed for long-range exploration. Flavio Constantino, sales director at Inace Superyachts, said delivering the yacht to the Rio Boat Show was a good way to prove the yacht’s might. “From Fortaleza to Rio, it is a 1,600-na.utical-mile trip in the open waters of the Adantic Ocean, where she had the opportunity to face all sorts of weather and prove her Inace DNA: six days cruising at 12 knots, burning 65 liters (17 gallons) per engine with not…

Apprehension floods by mind as the submarine hatch clicks shut above me. Will I suffer from claustrophobia? Do I even want to explore the depths of Malta? Will I ever see sunlight again? I’m embarrassed to admit that I am awash with anxiety as I sit in a bright yellow Triton submarine in the cove of Taht il-Mazz, off Comino Island, waiting to descend to the wreck that lies beneath the surface. I’m here to discover why a submarine is the ultimate superyacht accessory, yet I’m focused on trying not to let my face show how apprehensive I’m feeling. Clear waters lap against the spherical hull, gently rising as the submarine begins its descent to the ocean floor. I look up towards the cerulean surface and am thrilled to realize…

It’s difficult to imagine a more environmentally friendly product than a mechanical watch. Not only do clockwork watches make their own energy, but they also produce zero emissions, will run all day every day for years and lend themselves to being passed down through the generations. Despite all that, plenty of watch brands are vying to attract buyers by enhancing their green credentials, be that through the development of carbon-neutral manufacturing facilities, experimenting with recycled metals, producing straps from planet-friendly materials, supporting wildlife causes or selling their wares in eco-friendly packaging. We’ve looked at the market in search of the most imaginative ways in which brands are supporting the green cause - and which parts of which watches are the most sustainable. 1 GYRE SEACLEANER NET GAINS Dutch brand Gyre…

I grew up sailing in the Bay Head Yacht Club in Barnegat Bay, New Jersey. I was six and a half when I began crewing for my father in a 16ft M Scow. An adult could sail it with a child, but the child had responsibilities; for every tack, I had to trim the jib and raise and lower the kneeboards. It was very exciting when we were winning, not so much when we were losing. I sailed every summer and eventually I became a racing sailor on a national level, excelling in a sport boat called an E Scow. I finished second, third, fourth and fifth and missed winning first place by 7/ro of a point - something that still sits in the back of my mind! After Princeton…

The International SeaKeepers Society’s key mission is to facilitate marine research and conservation, educate the youth of today and bring a general awareness of ecological issues, with the hope that science and education will help to “protect and restore our precious blue planet.” Their yacht donation program helps to fund valuable work, and owners also volunteer their yachts to be used for scientific research trips, similar to BOAT International’s Yachts for Science program. Examples of its work include a trip to research juvenile white sharks with an entire lab of staff and graduate students on board the 62ft Discovery yacht Valkyrie; a trip to deploy 38 ocean sensor buoys across the Atlantic to harvest data, on board 279ft Vibrant Curiosity, and a 10-day exhibition to observe whale acoustics in southeast…

More than 700 superyachts bolstered the fleet over the past two years; a global order book exceeding 1,000 for the first time in more than a decade; soaring brokerage sales setting new records. The 18 months between summer 2020 and the end of 2021 will go down as the strongest growth period in superyachting history – and it caught most people by surprise, coming in the wake of the deepest global recession in 90 years and a pandemic that shut down international travel. Yet a rapidly rising stock market, rebounding global economic growth and a desire for luxury and freedom after lockdowns have all contributed to a remarkable increase in demand for superyachts. And it showed no signs of slowing as 2021 ticked over into 2022 with the brokerage market…
