EDITOR'S LETTER

I never cared much for watches before I joined BOAT International. Now my wife laughs at me as I ogle other men’s wrists. My eye is getting pretty good -I can tell a Seamaster from a Speedmaster at 20 paces. Of course, I won’t be the only one ogling wrists as the boat show season occupies the superyacht industry. Our colleagues from the brokerage community are famously eagle-eyed when a potential customer shimmies up their passerelle. Snap judgements are made on the jangle and heft of a watch as to whether you’re a tyre kicker or a real buyer. Whichever camp you’re in, there is plenty to drool over in our watch special, starting on page 59. I think the saying goes: “Watches are the only jewellery men can wear…

EDITOR'S LETTER

Olivia Michel Former BOAT International senior digital writer Olivia is now based in Penang, Malaysia, where she plies her trade as a freelance writer. For this issue, she discovers superyacht refits undertaken in record time (page 158) and speaks to Cameron McColl, owner of classic yacht Jura II (page 78). The most remarkable fact you discovered while researching rapid refits? 3D scanning technology now allows shipyards to prefabricate almost every new piece of a yacht’s structure, equipment or furniture before the yacht even arrives The fastest refit you heard about? In the spring of 2022, Palumbo Superyachts in Savona managed to refit the 66-metre ISA Okto in less than 20 days The most fascinating thing you learned from Cameron McColl? Apparently Jura II used to be the party boat for celebrity guests staying at Hotel Cipriani in…

With a deep passion for life at sea, Queen Elizabeth II treasured her time on board Royal Yacht Britannia. Launched from the John Brown & Company shipyard in Clydebank, Scotland, in 1953, the 126-metre vessel served the royal family for more than four decades. The Queen is pictured here alongside HRH the Duke of Edinburgh as they departed Apia, Western Samoa, for Fiji during her Silver Jubilee celebrations in 1977. The elaborate tour saw the pair travel 90,000 kilometres around the world - by plane and on board Britannia-also visiting Australia, New Zealand, Papua New Guinea and Canada. During this one-day trip to the island nation, Her Majesty met with Samoa’s head of state, Malietoa Tanumafili II, and planted a memorial tree outside the Maota Fono parliament building in Apia. A symbol…

A long launch Feadship's latest superyacht, Project 1010, is so big that it had to hit the water in stages, says Katia Damborsky Feadship’s 118-metre Project 1010 has made a splash at the yard’s Makkum facility in the Netherlands. The sheer size of the yacht meant the launch was completed in stages, and it took more than 12 hours to free her from the construction shed. The 4,999GT yacht marks a significant milestone for Feadship as its longest launch to date, superseding its current flagship, the 110-metre Anna, by eight metres. It has a distinctive midnight-blue hull defined by a long line of portholes and is crowned by a white superstructure, with an unusual pod-style upper deck encased in glass. Details about the yacht’s build schedule remain under wraps, but it is…

Extra special Extra Yachts, an ISA Yachts brand, has unveiled the first model in its new line of motor catamarans. Named Villa X30, the 30-metre multihull features an interior and exterior design by Dutch studio Phathom and is characterised by a high-volume interior that makes full use of the 13.7-metre beam. extrayachts.com Slam-dunk launch Turkish shipyard AvA Yachts has announced the launch of its 35-metre Infinity Nine, which was commissioned for NBA star Tony Parker. When he’s off the basketball court, Parker will be able to make use of the yacht’s 6,000-nautical-mile range and six-cabin layout. Speaking at the new launch, Atilla Küçükdiker, founder of AvA Yachts, said: “She is testimony to the outstanding skills of all the workers we have here in Antalya and a superb example of AvA Yachts’ exciting Kando…

Going beyond sales at superyacht shows In the past, yacht shows had a singular agenda: selling yachts. Now, however, they are evolving and shifting to an increased focus on networking, marketing, eco-initiatives and securing the right balance of buyers and boats. At the Monaco Yacht Show, those changes include the unveiling of a sustainable area and a zone dedicated to adventureenhancing toys and gadgets. The Dubai International Boat Show is going through a digital transformation aimed at promoting a smoother, safer experience for clients and exhibitors alike. “Shows must understand their audiences in order to evolve,” says the show’s group director Riju George. These methods are crucial for attracting “a new set of buyers”, according to George. Classic yacht market remains buoyant Defined as a yacht delivered before 1975, classic yachts represent just…

As the world’s superyacht fleet ages, so refit activity increases - a trend that has also started to impact the boats that serve the mothership. Tenders, especially custom ones, are now being refitted in record numbers - and MARSS is a prime example. Previously known as Man-of-War and the main tender for 126-metre Octopus, this 18.8-metre Vikal, often photographed in the dry dock of its former mothership, is quasilegendary. As a result, I was all ears when Cyril Le Sourd, co-founder of SPARK Marine Projects, told me that he was in the process of refitting her for one of his clients. Le Sourd and his business partner Charles Dence recently opened shop in Monaco. “SPARK Marine Projects is a design office that carries out specialised projects in the superyacht sector, and…

Revitalising the fleet

All together now The dance of the refit requires managing a lot of tasks in a short time frame, and when multiple trades converge on a 25-metre sailing boat, it gets all the more interesting. “In the last couple of weeks on Atao you couldn’t see the deck for the people,” laughs Pendennis project manager Niels van Dinther, who oversaw a six-month refit of the 2006 JFA sailing yacht. Pendennis pulled it off though. Following a change in ownership, Atao had come in for a new teak deck; hull and mast paint; engine, generator and hydraulics overhaul; deckhouse varnish; and rig service. The yard also found that large areas of aluminium under the old deck were corroded. “The logistical nightmare was trying to fit the varnish work in while we were repairing corrosion on…

Revitalising the fleet

HEAVY LIFTING MB92 La Ciotat enters the autumn refit season with a new 4,300-tonne shiplift, which complements its Travelift and Synchrolift for yachts up to 75 metres, and dry dock for the largest ships, "It closes the missing part, basically giving us more flexibility to accommodate boats between 75 metres and 110 to 115 metres," says Joe Degabriele, senior business development manager, noting the industry's "serious demand" for infrastructure for boats over 80 metres. The new lift is part of a yard revitalisation, which results in seven new hardstand spots for big boats. Ninety per cent of the materials from the old yard were reprocessed on site. "That added a significant cost to the project but we're very proud that we have taken this measure to reduce the environmental impact," says Degabriele.…

PUMPED MARINE BEACH CLUB With an ethos that inflatables should be a seamless continuation of a yacht's interior, Pumped Marine aims to inject more flair into its floating extensions. Its four-metre by 10-metre Beach Club - due to launch in February 2023 - has a roof for shade, EVA foam "teak" and sofas covered in white Sunbrella fabric, because who wants to sit on sweaty PVC in the sun?

Time: a most valuable commodity

Like any work of art, a beautifully made watch can bring a lifetime of pleasure. Not only is it a functional machine that serves a practical purpose, it’s also a showcase for your personality and culture and, hopefully, a portable investment that will serve you (or your children) well in years to come. But with a dizzying array of models available to enthusiasts, at every conceivable price, the trick to building a great watch portfolio is knowing where to start. “There are a million different reasons for wanting to collect, and as many different watches waiting to be collected,” says Mark Toulson, head of watch buying at Watches of Switzerland Group. Here, those in the know reveal their secrets for choosing the most covetable timepieces. Start with passion When it comes to…

Superyacht showstoppers

Keeping a quality clock aboard has been de rigueur for yacht owners ever since the late 18th century, when John Harrison solved the problem of determining longitude at sea with his perfection of the ship’s chronometer. Modern, satellite-based navigation systems negate the need for such mechanical devices, but that’s no reason to forget the vital link between accurate timekeeping and a safe passage at sea - which is why every superyacht should be graced with at least one showpiece clock. And there are an increasing number to choose from, many of which are limited editions that could prove to be sound investments. In 2015, Christie’s sold a trio of Patek Philippe’s distinctive “dome” desk clocks for £1.5 million, the three having been made to celebrate the 50th anniversary of Singapore becoming an…

“To be honest, I think that 99 per cent of modern boats are ugly,” says Cameron McColl, from on board his classic motor yacht Jura II. This is perhaps not a surprising statement from the BVIs-based businessman, who has just finished restoring a classic Aston Martin DB9 convertible and collects historic scientific instruments in his spare time. Speaking from a Turkish bay, McColl describes his neighbours as “vanilla”, gesturing to the marina behind him. “I’ve got dozens of modern yachts around me and they are instantly forgettable. They’re also totally impractical,” he adds. “They’ve got huge engines that use vast amounts of fuel and yet are incapable of crossing an ocean. I just think they’re not much use.” McColl’s love for rebuilding and collecting classics directly contrasts with his career background in…

WHAT'S IN A NAME?

Jura II’s name is a nod to McColl’s Scottish roots. A number of his yachts have been named after his favourite islands in Scotland, including a Symbol 57 called Skye and his first Jura, the Nordhavn 57. At the moment, the Scotsman hasn’t found anything to top the rugged Hebridean isle of Jura, which is famous for its whirlpools and single malt whiskies. McColl explains: “It’s sort of unimaginative, but when I was looking at the map for other islands of Scotland, I just couldn’t think of one that I liked better than Jura!”…

My Life in Boats

I started sailing on a P Class when I was 12. In 1977, I bought a 13.7-metre Sparkman & Stephens called Inca, a successful ocean racer. When I started with new boats, I could not get a shipyard to build what I wanted, sol put together my own team and in 1982 I built Chanel. She was 28 metres, which was pretty big. That's how Alloy Yachts came about. With racing yachts, the technology is always improving, so there is a constant need to upgrade. My 27.4-metre Alfa Romeo was very successful, winning the Transpac, Fastnet and Hobart. Every race we do, we go in intending to win. I don’t like coming in second. I live on Sydney Harbour and have been able to get out on my nine-metre inflatable Sealegs. I…

Owner of Mabelle Length: 23.8m Year: 2022 Location: Cannes After a lifetime of sailing yachts, you've bought a motor yacht… Until I discovered BOAT International and became a World Superyacht Awards judge, I didn't really think about motor yachts; they were just fast, noisy things. But in the last 11 or 12 years of being a judge, I have visited so many motor yachts and have learned to appreciate them. I have discovered that there is a way to maintain low noise, low speed and efficient consumption in a motor yacht. Then you reach a certain age when you must calculate a lot of things. My husband looks like a little boy, but he's no longer a boy. He lost his patience with sailing - the regattas, the organisation, the crew. He was tired of…

Lippy from the Liffey

Fair winds, Your Majesty. I came to London for Queen Elizabeth II’s funeral as I wanted to be part of it. We were down in Hyde Park to see all the flowers and pageantry. I had enormous respect for her, like most people did. She was a remarkable woman. Over the years I’ve been lucky enough to rub shoulders with the Royal Family, through my work with CLIC Sargent, the Chelsea Flower Show and Laurent Perrier. The Queen was always incredibly gracious and, of course, she loved horses so, me being Irish, we always had something to talk about. I thought her coming to Ireland in 2011 was a great moment, and I was happy to play a small role in that visit by linking her with the Coolmore Stud, which…

Lippy from the Liffey

Cover boat As I approach the recently refitted 70.6-metre explorer yacht Force Blue, moored alongside the historic port of Nice, France, the dance of charter guest changeover is in full swing. The yacht’s crane flies overhead with a sizable pallet of provisions, which is deftly lowered onto the ample working foredeck while the tenders are being stowed, decks washed and stainless steel shined. Force Blue has just disembarked guests who spent eight weeks on board, and her crew is busy getting ready for new charterers arriving that very evening. She’s been consistent in attracting charter business, but this latest refit – which included a seven-metre stern extension, updated interiors and added performance – aims to make her even more desirable. “The key to the refit was to refresh the yacht and improve…

The robots are coming

Espen Øino holds a 3D-printed model of a yacht up to his laptop camera. “We use 3D printing for quickly printing out models to evaluate,” explains the celebrated naval architect. “The more you look at a virtual model on a screen the more you feel the need to physically touch it and feel how the hull shape is.” Øino states that 3D printing “is going to revolutionise boatbuilding”. Circuitry could be printed inside a hull without cable trays. Local geometries and structural arrangements will not be based upon accessibility for a welder or engineer to do their job. “It’s really promising because once we have different printing heads with different materials you can optimise structures.” The timescale? “Don’t get too excited,” warns Øino. Printing entire superyachts is still some way off. Last…

OUT OF THIS WORLD

The 56-metre Galaxy was a successful and recently refitted charter yacht when she came up on the market. What attracted her new owners, Dave Hagewood and Danielle Hill, had a lot to do with what made her such a successful charter yacht: first, her welcoming crew, then her amenities, including a top deck gym and a splitlevel owner’s suite. Plus, her name fired up the imagination of these newcomers to yacht ownership. Hagewood has a keen interest in space as his father had worked at NASA and the name and timing seemed like fate. They had dipped their toes into the yachting lifestyle by chartering and quickly concluded that it was a lifestyle they wanted. Once they did, it all went very fast, says owner’s representative Sara Vezenšek. “By the time…

OUT OF THIS WORLD

When it comes to retail, Gary Friedman knows a thing or two particularly with regards to selling upmarket homewares to the US market. Dropping out of college aged 18, the charismatic San Franciscan began his 47-year career as a stock boy at Gap. He quickly became the brand’s youngest ever regional manager, thanks to his keen eye for detail and an innate talent for sales. At 29, he was recruited by another big US firm, kitchenware and furnishings chain Williams-Sonoma, where he spent the next 13 years and helped to grow the business’s annual revenue from $300 million to $2.1 billion - thanks in part to his introduction of novel and interactive experiences on the shop floor (demonstration kitchens, for example, and tasting bars), which you’ll now find in department…

RESETTING THE CLOCK

The only thing I really regret is getting off the boat. I really hate it - it’s crazy,” says businessman and serial yacht owner Ian Malouf, who took on what he believes to be the biggest self-managed rebuild to date. Taking on a yacht with such heritage and historical significance, ripping out its original Jon Bannenberg interior and building something new takes character, vision and a lot of guts. Coral Ocean is a significant superyacht, one of the largest at launch and, despite (or perhaps because of) her secrecy for the first two decades of her life, an icon that marked a new era in yachting, especially for German shipyard Lurssen. As a result, when the Australian entrepreneur acquired her in 2019 with the intent to do a significant refit, whispered…

RESETTING THE CLOCK

Want to make you and your boat unpopular? It’s simple: just announce that you’re planning a super-fast refit. With new-build yachts taking several years to complete and in high demand, many people have turned to buying older boats with the aim of giving them a rapid upgrade over three to four months and getting them back on the water. The pros? More time on your yacht to holiday with family and friends, or more weeks of income thanks to a competitive charter market. The cons? No one in the industry likes doing them. “When I saw your email about this feature, my first response was ‘Don’t do it,’” laughs Pier Posthuma de Boer, refit and services director at Feadship. Like many, he sees the speedy refit trend as a dangerous one.…

DON’T FORGET THE CREW

Refits can be a strange time for crew and many shipyards stress the importance of looking after them well while their home is under renovation. "We try to make their stay here as pleasant as we can for them," says Mike Carr from Pendennis. "We'll take them on all sorts of activities ranging from go-karts or horse riding to cricket or football. They're just little social things that help build team spirit." As a former captain before taking the helm of Zancle 757, Finocchiaro has adopted a similar approach. "If you have lived on the other side of the barricade, you know that being in the shipyard is a sacrifice. It's stressful to keep watching the workers and what they do," he explains. "So, alongside managing the refit of Maltese Falcon,…

Best by Boat Cheval Blanc, St Barths Whether you’re nosediving in via its notoriously short airstrip or cruising into the Port de Gustavia, there’s something heart-stopping about reaching St Barths. On the white sands of Flamands Bay in the north-west sits Cheval Blanc, the only hotel outside of France to be awarded the prestigious Palace status by Atout France. It has recently undergone an extensive revamp at the hands of interior designer Jacques Grange, who has imbued the suites with shades of blue and green as well as blush pink, the hotel’s signature colour, which is inspired by the famous pink roofs of the island.

TREASURED ISLANDS

The anchor chain clunks over the bow as it drops into the baby-blue waters of White Bay on Jost Van Dyke, the smallest of the four main islands that make up the BVIs. This once sleepy backwater is now a rollicking shoreside hangout that takes its name from the pirate Joost van Dyk, who used these waters as a hideaway in a break from his regular programme of skulduggery and havoc-wreaking in the Spanish West Indies. Today, its shores are lined with leaning palms and vibrant beach bars, their patrons spilling out onto the sands and into the shallows as they comb the shoreline for gold doubloons and long-lost pieces of eight. For those yet to discover pirate gold, cash no matter its condition - is still generally accepted. Home to…

Nestled within an archipelago of more than 40,000 islands in the Baltic Sea, SuperShe is a turnkey retreat with a fascinating history. The clue is in the name: since 2017, when the island was purchased by an American entrepreneur, SuperShe was transformed into a women-only retreat promoting healthy living, with hiking, yoga, kayaking and motivational talks on the roster. The 3.4-hectare island, off the coast of Finland’s Raseborg region, has accommodation for 10. Four renovated Scandinavian cabins sit alongside three mini cabins, Finnish saunas, spa and yoga yurts and a heliport.

If you’re partial to cruising the Med’s hotspots, then it’s likely you will have paid a visit to Cap d’Antibes, one of the most sought-after yachting hubs on the French Riviera. Set among the palatial properties strewn across the verdant coves is Villa la Vigie, a striking terracotta pad that stands out front the well-heeled crowd. Built in 1912, the eight-bedroom neo-Gothic property has a remarkable visitors book, with F Scott Fitzgerald and Pablo Picasso’s names scrawled on its pages. The latter is even rumoured to have painted the walls in the saloons and bedrooms (although though they are now sadly covered). And while the villa arrives on the market with updated rooms, its spaces remain as traditionally opulent as ever with panelled walls, marble fireplaces and an ornate tower, which…

“Then the captain received a call – from the real Mr T…”

I once heard a story about the American actor Mr T, who played the character B. A. Baracus in the famous 1980s television series The A-Team. He was due to charter a superyacht, so the crew did as they would with any guest and met him at the airport in good time, took him to the boat on a tender and settled him by the pool, where he relaxed and enjoyed the view with a freshly made cocktail in hand. It was the perfect start to any holiday… except, the captain then received a call - from the real Mr T. “Sorry my flight was late. Can someone come and collect me?" he asked. The captain was baffled. “Of course,” he replied, before rushing to the interloper he’d welcomed aboard. “Excuse me,…
