I feel like a groupie occasionally. I confess that sometimes it’s a rock, sports or movie star who will move me. But often, what gets me rummaging through my purse to find my iPhone – why is it always hiding? – is an iconic yacht. What is an iconic yacht, you ask? Well, one that looks like no other and so is instantly recognizable; one that has been around for years but looks like it has just come out of the yard; and one that has inspired others that came after it and goes by just one name, such as Tatoosh. Nearly three years ago, Tatoosh came calling in Miami. It was docked at Museum Park almost direcdy across from Zaha Hadid Architects’ splendid One Thousand Museum residential tower. The…

REVEALING THE LATEST NEWS, TRENDS AND TECH The 172ft Gallant Lady, the largest of eight Feadships commissioned by repeat owners, has been a well-known presence in Fort Lauderdale since her 1995 delivery. Her distinctive styling by JM Family Enterprises’ architect Rick Jorden and De Voogt Naval Architects, which includes three vertical windows spanning the length of a spectacular staircase, made her instantly recognizable and inspired the next in line, a slightly smaller Feadship that cruised the Intracoastal Waterway. She emerged in July from a one-year refit, providing many photo opportunities as she made her way to Rotterdam for sea trials through the Dutch countryside and towns. In addition to scheduled maintenance, the yacht has undergone significant modifications inside and out, including a new beach club and reconfigured bridge deck, plus…

Anyone who has been on a boat during the past 30-odd years will be familiar with Garmin, the US-based GPS specialist, which has grown from a two-person business selling $2,500 ProNav units into a NASDAQ-listed company with a turnover in the billions. Mariners rely on Garmin products to navigate from A to B, as do pilots, the emergency services, trekkers and fitness fanatics – so when it announces a smartwatch dedicated to sailing, it’s time to pay attention. Smartwatches have moved on from being the poor relations of traditional luxury timepieces into products that appeal as much for their fit and finish as for their functionality. While many sailors still swear by their Rolex Submariner or Omega Seamaster, more and more are converting to smartwatches because, as well as looking…

One of my favorite vacations was with my extended family on Put-in-Bay in Ohio when I was just 10. We would rent five cabins and that’s when I fell in love with boating. I have come a long way from those days fishing from a rowboat with a concrete anchor, catching Lake Erie perch with double hooks. When we graduated to a 20ft Starcraft, I remember boasting to my father that someday I would buy a 36ft to 50ft yacht. I bought my first boat, a 12ft flat bottom with a 12-horsepower engine from the Sears Roebuck catalog, when I was a junior in high school. Ten years later, in Connecticut with my wife, I wanted to get the kids out on Long Island Sound, so I bought a 22ft…

Holly Overton Holly is BOAT International’s online editor, but when her Out-Of-Office is switched on you will most likely find her racing in the Solent on board Encounter, her friend’s Beneteau First 285. This month, Holly shines a light on the regatta culture of Leeward island St Barths (page 114). What surprised you most about St Barths? The landing when you arrive! St Barths has one of the most dangerous airports in the world, with planes having to pass between two mountains and perform a nosedive down a hillside to land Which regatta would you most love to compete in? The St Barths Bucket. I’d go for the yacht-spotting alone Your favorite superyacht? I am asked this question almost daily – and my answer changes each time. I think Royal…

Q2 sales figures in According to BOAT Pro data, there were 138 brokerage sales officially recorded in the second quarter of 2022, although this number may increase slightly as a few final sales are declared post-period. The figure is significantly lower than last year’s Covid-fueled record-breaking Q2 figures, which saw 231 yachts sold, but it represents a solid increase over Q2 of 2020 and 2019, which recorded 75 and 122 sales, respectively. The average length of yachts sold was slightly over IIIft. As ever, the 78ft to 98ft category boasted the highest number of sales, with 58 (compared to 94 in Q2 2021). Unsurprisingly, semi-custom yachts made up the lion’s share of sales, with 103 sold in the last quarter compared to 35 full custom ones. Interestingly, 14 sailing yachts…

Just because you own the company doesn’t mean you always get your way. When Paolo Vitelli, founder and CEO of the Azimut-Benetti Group, first pitched the idea for a four-deck, steel-hulled, 120ft, semi-custom yacht to his board of directors, it wasn’t met with wild enthusiasm. The sales team, meanwhile, asked the quite reasonable question: “Are you crazy?” Smaller, steel-hulled boats were not their market. No one who makes their living from semi-custom superyacht production can afford a dud. The upfront investment is considerable, so if only a few hulls from the series sell, costs aren’t recouped and the recriminations begin. In short, it takes guts. But Vitelli was convinced he was on to something, leaning hard on his vast experience, from founding Azimut as a twentysomething in 1969 to buying…

The Antarctic is a magnificent yet treacherous place – and the farther south you sail, the greater the challenge. This is something that the crew of Arctic P discovered when they broke the Guinness World Record in 2014. for the furthest south any vessel has ever traveled – 677 nautical miles from the South Pole. Arctic P is a true one-off, as evidenced in another memorable journey, to Icy Bay in Alaska. “That trip was something else,” says Captain Russell Pugh, who led the mission. “It was incredible. Because of Arctic P’s ice capacity, we were able to get into a bay, which even the pilot said he’d never taken a vessel into before – they usually anchor outside and tender in. Because we can anchor in very deep water,…

The cobbled limestone streets and calm walkways of the Croatian island of Hvar glimmer in the afternoon sun. It’s as if the limestone here is polished each morning before the next boat load of visitors meanders the narrow avenues, taking in the town’s typical Dalmatian architecture – a blend of Renaissance and early Baroque styles. Balconies fit for Juliet are crammed with flowery shrubs that spill down onto the awnings of the shops below, or dangle over the tables of eateries squeezed into nooks off the town’s complex network of passageways. Life here is unflustered and slow – perhaps because everyone in Hvar has arrived by boat, many of which sit stern-to along the palm-tree-lined Obala Riva, the town’s marina. Many boats, that is, except for ours – which is…
