I always get a kick when someone tells me, “I don't care what the interior [on a yacht] looks like”. How about how it feels like? I have to say that's important. The sea, as you know, can throw a lot at you on any boat. And if you feel a little worried, a little off in your stomach, or downright scared, it robs you quickly of any pleasure. So while a light, soft sheet and pillows, or a supportive mattress with the right springiness, won't fix the weather, they will go a long way to soothe an apprehensive heart or uncomfortable stomach. At least, I think so. I made the experience just this week in one of the rare opportunities I get to spend a night or two on…

Auxiliary rooms “While the walk-in wardrobe was the dream mom in every residence, we're seeing a trend of new ‘auxiliary’ rooms, such as a china pantry next to the dining room or kitchen to showcase collectible tableware. Post-Covid-19, games rooms are also making a comeback, and we love a good entertainment room with a bar, pool table or foosball with landscaped wallpapers or great lights.” - Manola Ballerlo, Sabrina Monta-Cario Sustainability “A lot of new materials, art and finishes are emerging from the world of sustainability, durability, upcycling and recycling, We use recycled textiles for wallpapers, and on Project Zero we used a leather-like materiel invented in Germany that is made from beeswax and pine, which has the advantage [over faux leathers that are made from fruit] of smelling like…

OWNERS'CLUB Owning your awn shipyard is a bit like haying Santa's workshop in your backyard — equipped with every tool imaginable. It gives you the power to become the designer, project manager and broker of your own yacht project. It's fair to say that Cobra Yacht owner Eren Baki has not let that opportunity pass him by. This carefully spoken Turk is about to enjoy his first full summer season with a new toy: the 131ft Illusion II. Built in 1991, she is one of the largest yachts constructed by Lloyds Ships of Australia and was a titan of her time. Baki has transformed her from a weary giant into fresh-faced charter prospect — in the space of just 10 months. “We shipped her from Miami end of April 2022…

1647 Shipwrights hand the Maravillas on to the Spanish Navy. 1654 The Maravillas leaves Spain for the New World. 1656 In January, the galleon collides with another Spanish ship and sinks off Little Bahama Bank. In June, the wreck is located by Spanish salvors, who manage some limited recovery of its treasure — much at which is then lost in further shipwrecks. 1658 The Spanish record the wreck as being completely submerged within sand. 1972 The Maravillas is located by the marina archaeologist Robert Marx, who takes a significant amount of its treasure. 1990 Herbo Humphreys, another treasure hunter, finds gold bars and the Maravillas Cross, which he than advertises, via an actress friend, on Jay Leno's talk show. 1992 The Bahamian government issues a moratorium on shipwreck salvage licenses.…

Size isn't everything. One of the most talked-about yachts on display at Cannes last year, Pesa II, is relatively modest in length, and not a new model for Maiora, an Italian builder of fiberglass cruisers. However, its interior, done in-house, attracted a lot of attention. Indeed, her unconventional design — standing apart front strong competitors in its size bracket — earned Pesa II a BOAT Design & Innovation Award. Her peaceful and organic environment offering “incredible volume” — the judges' words — left a good impression. Pesa II is hull No 2 of the 115ft Maiora 35 Exuma model, a waterjet-propelled cruiser launched as a custom project with a vertical bow, fast-planing hull and waterjet propulsion to cruise the shallows of Florida and the Bahamas — hence the Exuma name.…

Shipwrecks tend not to be free-for-alls. If they lie within a country's territorial sea, which extends up to 12 nautical miles from its coastline, then it is governed by whatever laws that country has over salvage operations. The US's Abandoned Shipwreck Act of 1988 lists shipwrecks that are effectively owned by the government. The Law of Finds, however, grants some rights to salvagers of ships not mentioned by the Act. States have their own regulations end permits. Elsewhere, Spain is notably stringent about wreck salvage operations, as is the Bahamas. Internationally., there is a little more room for maneuvering. A UNESCO convention — the Convention on the Protection of the Underwater Cultural Heritage — prohibits commercial exploitation of underwater heritage. This can he enforced by the country to which a…

FOR DREAMERS ONLY Winch Design's new concept for Oceanco aims to invoke a sense of wonder Reverie belongs to Oceanco's recently unveiled line of custom 80-meter (262ft) yachts built on a technical platform by Lateral Naval Architects. The Dutch builder tapped renowned designers to each create a unique design inside and out, resulting in 17 very different creations. Winch Design's concept (pictured) creates a feeling of “being pleasantly lost in one's thoughts or a daydream” through elements such as curved corridors, a flowing layout and shapes that appear weightless. Reverie's main deck pool lounge adds an extra social setting to “an often underused space,” and clients can choose between two owner's deck layouts. “Our duty as a designer is to bring purpose, inspiration and innovation in our solutions to clients'…

One of six galleons commissioned by King Philip IV (right) to defend Spain, the Maravillas set out on July 10, 1654, from southern Spain for Colombia, to take on treasure salvaged tram the wreck of another Spanish galleon. In Havana, the crew took on even more loot, this time contraband, and were then faced with the daunting task of making sure the ship reached home safely with Its bounty, avoiding a large English fleet reportedly sweeping through the Caribbean. They set out on the traditional Spanish convoy route along the northern coast of Cuba before turning Into the Bahama Channel, where the Gulf Stream would speed them homeward. Just before midnight on January 4, 1656, with most of Its crew asleep, the Maravillas ran into shallow waters on Little Bahama…
