boatinternational.com/podcasts boatinternational @boatint @boatinternational boatinternational @boatinternational boatinternational BOAT International Media I have been around the yachting industry for a while. One year, I was walking along Collins Avenue on Miami Beach (before the boat show moved to downtown Miami) when I spotted a young woman in crew uniform walking a pooch on a leash. Wait, I thought, I know this dog! And then I thought, boy, I have been at this so long, I know which boat this dog comes from. Well, now the boat show will move back to Collins, and I am still editing and writing stories about boats and their owners. A while ago, I remember grabbing a copy of a magazine based in Naples, Florida, that covered boats and dogs. I thought that was a good…

Albatross flew the coop in Seattle, Washington, in 2016 Without much of anyone outside of the shipyard, designers or owner’s teams even seeing her. She had been built to an experienced yacht owner’s exacting standards, appeared in Monaco two years ago and found a buyer within II weeks, asking $95 million. By early 2023, the Espen Øino-designed yacht entered the Damen Yachting yard for a reincarnation to suit the lifestyle of her new owners. She’s recently re-emerged as a longer yacht. The extension is far from the entire story. The refit first cut nearly 33 feet from the back before adding nearly 56 feet, which now makes her 260 feet. The extension and layout reconfiguration added a beach club, wellness area and an outdoor pool, plus a winter garden, among…

MAY 13-24 CANNES FILM FESTIVAL If there’s one jewelry brand that’s synonymous with the magic of cinema, it has to be Chopard, and this year the Haute Joaillerie brand celebrates 27 years in partnership with the Cannes Film Festival. Its new Red Carpet Collection will bring next-level glamour to the festivities, with the biggest names in Hollywood wearing some of the jeweler’s new pieces for the first time during the gala. chopard.com MAY 7-11 FRIEZE NEW YORK Frieze takes over The Shed in Manhattan this May for its annual round of solo, group and themed showcases by pioneering artists from around the world.

One of the reasons the owners of Tintin opted for a “houseboat” is so that they don’t have to leave their pets behind. Berwind does say smaller dogs are a bit better suited to life at sea than larger ones, who need to get to land more often for exercise. For an extended stay on board, an area of fake grass on top of a surface that can be easily hosed with drainage, for example fiberglass, is a good solution. The dog park on Tintin was added on the existing deck. “Our dog park, or poop deck, on Scout, is built in. It’s AstroTurf, highly perforated, on top of a plastic egg crate system that sits on fiberglass with drains. We can be at sea for extended periods, and the…

THE JUDGES Deborah Pocock LVO, CEO of QEST; Lay Koon Tan, co-founder of Nature Squared; Adrian Sassoon, contemporary art dealer; Andrew Winch, founder of Winch Design; Jay Rushton, CED of Parkway England; Christopher Whale (chair), group creative director of BOAT International Media CÉLINE ALEXANDRE Excellence in Craftsmanship NOMINATED BY Reymond Langton Design FOR decorative panels on Kismet PORTRAIT: Iris Brosch Step on board the 400-foot Lürssen Kismet and you’ll find the maximalist, fantastical, awe-inspiring aesthetic that has made the yacht one of the hottest talking points in the yachting community over the past year. There are so many creative spaces and themes that even the engine room gets its own name; it’s a yacht that cannot be contained or put in a box. It’s fitting, then, that Pascale Reymond, designer and…

Joanna Taylor Winner of the Fortnum & Mason 2023 Restaurant Writer of the Year award, Joanna is a freelance food, drink and lifestyle journalist — “I’m a professional glutton,” as she puts it. For this issue she brings us the sweet pairing of Glenfiddich and Aston Martin (page 38). How does one become a food and drinks writer? Rather embarrassingly I grew up with a stomach nicknamed “the bottomless pit,” so for me it was a self-fulfilling prophesy What is the most unusual thing you’ve consumed in the name of journalism? I’ve suffered through a dish of sea cucumber prepared three ways. Yes, it was as disgusting as it sounds. Oh, and mescal infused with the essence of raw rabbit, which was surprisingly delicious Where are you now, and would…

The yachting industry marked the passing of George Nicholson, the founder of the Camper & Nicholsons brokerage firm, who died in February. His six-decade career as a leading broker helped shape the superyacht market of today. “He changed the vision of yachting and was able to bring it to the level that we are now. He was not afraid to push the envelope,” Fernando Nicholson, who opened the brokerage firm’s first Miami office in 1994, once said of his father and mentor. It was George’s own father, yacht designer Charles A Nicholson, who indirectly got him into the brokerage business. He sent his then 20-year-old son (a sailor who had represented the UK in the 1960 Olympics) to the Riviera to solicit refit business for Camper & Nicholsons’ yard in…

Imagine a design studio that perfectly epitomizes the energy, excitement and laid-back elegance of Miami and then combines it with the classical influences and timeless artisanship of the ancient city of Rome. With the opening of its first international studio in Rome this April, the Miami-based Carla Guilhem Design Studio will be able to draw on such inspiration from both cultural and artistic centers. “Italian design has always been synonymous with craftsmanship, elegance and timelessness,” says studio founder and creative director Carla Guilhem. “With the two studios, we will infuse these qualities into our work. In Italy, we’ll be inspired by the history of art and design, while in the US, we’ll bring that classic Italian touch to contemporary designs.” For Guilhem, the American design scene is experimental and forward-thinking,…

Alongside the artisans’ incredible pieces, this year’s trophies — once more produced by Nature Squared — were likewise a thing of beauty. Inspired by the vortex, a natural phenomenon, the concept represented the fusion of craft, nature and sailing into one entity. Each trophy was created from repurposed pearl shell, dark pen shell and copper, all materials that would otherwise have been discarded as waste. By monetizing these waste products, Nature Squared can help to support the livelihoods of pearl farmers and fishers, highlighting the brand’s continued commitment to sustainability. Founded in 2000 by Paul Hoeve and Lay Koon Tan, Nature Squared is a Swiss-based company that uses innovation and artisanal skills to transform natural materials that would normally be considered waste into bespoke, handcrafted and sustainable products and surfaces…

DARIELIMO 9.5 A good-sized limo tender was a must on the owner’s brief for Diamond Binta. The 31-foot DARIELimo fitted the bill and has a sleek and sporty look that is a good match for Diamond Biota’s styling. The limo can carry 15 guests in comfort, avoiding splashes and sea breezes. With twin 370hp engines providing a maximum speed of 48 knots, the tender can also whisk owners and guests to shore briskly. AIRBUS ACH160 For an even faster ride, the owner pilots his own Airbus helicopter. With a top cruising speed of 155 knots and a maximum air time of four hours and 30 minutes, it is well suited to reach Diamond Binta out at anchor, landing nimbly on her massive helipad. What’s better than landing on your own…

I have lived on the water my whole life. I grew up on the west side of Chicago, close to the lakefront. My dad’s favorite thing to do was to take his seven-horsepower Sears outboard and drive to the smaller lakes on the Wisconsin border. We’d rent a 12-foot rowboat and fish all day. As an adult, every morning I wake up to views of Lake Michigan. I live next to Oak Street Beach, one of the world’s most beautiful beaches. When I was raising my two daughters (both grown now), I bought a 40-foot Sea Ray and kept it a few blocks from our house. I ran that boat myself and taught my daughters how to crew. A couple of years later, I bought a 54-foot Sea Ray. We…

FRETTE Author and advocate for rest Tricia Hersey calls a lull in productivity “the dream space,” an opportunity to daydream, a chance for the mind to wander and sow the seeds of creativity. In 2020, most of us, including the team at Hot Lab, faced a sudden, societally imposed lull as the world locked down. It was during this pause in normal life that designers Enrico Lumini and Antonio Romano, co-founders of Hot Lab design studio in Italy, had a chance to dream up new concepts. What emerged on the page was a holistically designed motor yacht, with an inventive sailing boat-inspired stern, that would become the Columbus Atlantique 43. The first two hulls, Night Fury II and Frette, were launched in quick succession and showcase how owner choices can…

Bodrum’s hospitality scene is on a roll, with more and more visitors in recent years falling in love with its Turkish take on French Riviera-style luxury. And with strict controls on development meaning new resorts in the area are a prized commodity, Bodrum Loft struck gold when it opened its doors on Demirbükü Bay in summer 2021. A prime chunk of real estate occupying a beachside hilltop, the 36-unit resort is accessible either by its house tenders or via a winding, pine-lined hilltop road. Accommodation comprises a combination of two-, three- and four-bedroom cubist-style villas designed by local architects Tabanlioğlu with sandblasted cement and restrained, contemporary design lines. The pared-back interiors are equally refined, with dark wood finishing, curated artworks and a focus on minimalist opulence. While away the hours…
