Damen Yachting 77m Explorer Superyacht La Datcha

“Work hard, play harder.” A personal motto took on an entirely new riff when Damen Yachting handed the La Datcha 77 over to its expectant owner. Even before that, the colossal ship has been the subject of untold media coverage, from the moment it left Damen’s Galati shipyard along the Danube, to its first glimpse near Monte Carlo after her handover, and a recent siting in the Maldives en route through its two-year global tour. No doubt you’ve seen the articles and videos. La Datcha is all bold and aggressive, brutish even. But she ticks all the right boxes for super motor yacht that could be a home anywhere in the world, raising eyebrows and dropping mouths, as she basks in the glow of the Mediterranean sun or out in the spectacular blue of the Caribbean. And that’s precisely where her owner did not wish to cruise.

Baltic 67 Performance Cruiser Yacht, boat review

Cutting edge design combined with fast, easy sailing and high-performance capability makes Baltic 67 an attractive long-distance cruising yacht that’s perfect for competitive events. Carbon fiber engineering and sandwich construction give the yacht a relatively light structure that can be handled by a limited crew. Light and responsive with dual steering wheels, access to essential equipment like the powered trimming winches has been thoughtfully considered and are within easy reach. A telescopic lifting keel provides shallow water access, while a long-running beam and foam cores give Baltic 67 a well-balanced, light structure with a stable feel.

Rossinavi Superyacht Florentia Full Review

A Jewel Only Nature Could Inspire

The sea has begun to write its journeys upon Florentia’s hull, employing both poetry and passion. Inspired by nature, designed with experience, and executed with precision, this 52-meter Rossinavi yacht has captured even the ocean’s ephemeral attention. Launched on June 13 of 2020, Florentia’s elements of style, with a gentle flow sculpted in steel, establish the yacht as a modern classic.

Boat review, Southern Wind 30m Superyacht Morgana

There is only one word to describe Morgana, the latest launch from Southern Wind Shipyard in Cape Town, South Africa. That word is ‘stunning.’ From the boat’s plumb bow to her graceful sheer and towering sail plan, every inch of this dream yacht is exquisite. Born under the towering presence of Table Mountain and sea trialed in the cold waters of Table Bay, Morgana has met every expectation of the entire team involved. Despite Covid, Morgana completed her maiden voyage sailing from Cape Town to the Mediterranean Sea in 30 days; a 6,900-mile offshore test that confirmed her great sailing potential and complete seaworthiness.

Kokomo Paradise Island review

Fiji has long been a hub for superyachts in the South Pacific. It’s easy to see why this archipelago with pristine blue waters gently cradling lush, verdant islands, some un-inhabited, with soaring palm trees is so enticing. The year-round tropical weather and the world’s 4th largest coral reef makes for incredible diving and snorkeling experiences. The waters here team with rays and turtles and exquisitely colored sea life. Seasonal visits by whales are also part of the incredible appeal of Fijian waters. Surfing and game-fishing are popular experiences here, too.
