Skyler, State of the Art Luxury Yacht

Skyler is a beautiful and stunning 38m/125’ luxury motor yacht that cruises through the waters of the Mediterranean Sea showcasing her sporty white exterior. Not only is she lovely and worthy of admiration from afar, but she has a spirited vitality given her contemporary interior styling and innovative propulsion system developed by Rolls Royce, made just for Benetti’s Fast 125’ series. The owner’s designer tastes and preferences are evident throughout Skyler’s sophisticated design and unique concept. Eleven guests and seven crew members are comfortably accommodated onboard. With four decks and four distinct guest areas reserved for sunbathing, relaxation, and fun, Skyler is truly a remarkable boat designed to give her owner’s and guests the ultimate luxury cruise experience.

Lürssen Areti 85m Debuts as an Absolute Masterpiece

Every yacht, it seems, ought to be designed with a specific mission in mind. While some yachts are built for sport and others are built for relaxation, it seems Areti has already clearly distinguished herself as a yacht in an entire class of her own.

Rolls-Royce Black Badge is a Timeless Masterpiece

Detail, prestige, and performance are just a few of the things that have made Rolls-Royce one of the most well respected automobile brands in the world. From the moment you first lay eyes upon the Black Badge, you will realize the company is still doing everything they possibly can to create a vehicle that redefines luxury.

It’s clear what the owners had in mind when they commissioned their new yacht Ribelle. Their vision was for a yacht that was equal part comfort and performance, and it’s clear that they got precisely what they wanted. Ribelle is the latest from the famed Vitters Shipyard and is one of their most stunning creations to date. The yacht is a work of art from the sleek hull to the sumptuous interior, but perhaps the best part is the part that you can’t see. The entire hull and superstructure are made out of carbon fiber in order to keep the boat as light as possible, a factor that immeasurably increases the yacht’s performance out on the racecourse. To underscore this, in September this year Ribelle took the top spot in the Supermaxi class at the Maxi Yacht Rolex Cup in Porto Cervo, Italy. Ribelle’s owners were ecstatic. “We wish to thank everyone who contributed to making this edition of the Maxi Yacht Rolex Cup as splendid as ever,” they said. “Our victory is the fruit of a long and complex process that brought us to build a very innovative yacht.” Innovative indeed.

Earlier this November, the 58th Annual Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show drew an impressive crowd of 105,000—a remarkable 7% increase when compared to last year. The success of the show seems to demonstrate an increased interest in yachting in both beautiful southern Florid and around the world.

Those in attendance represented more than 50 different countries. The show—which is considered to be amongst the most prestigious boat shows in the entire world—drew boating enthusiasts of all kinds. Buyers, sellers, and enthusiastic onlookers seem to all unanimously agree that this year’s five day event (November 1-5) was particularly worthwhile.
