NAVIS Feb / Mar 2012

NISI 2400 was designed to combine the latest in marine technology with classic aesthetics that emphasize luxury and function. Every aspect of 2400 has been carefully considered to offer the owner and his guests the absolute best experience.

A second helm on the observation deck provides a comfortable area from which the captain or owner can survey the surrounding water and enjoy warm days. To make this possible, the designers included a joystick that makes precise maneuvering while remaining outside. That way, the owner never has to miss any part of the day just because he wants to keep a close eye on his vessel. From the vantage of this perch, he can enjoy conversations and the water without relieving control of his vessel to someone else.

Solemates, a 200-foot yacht by Glade Johnson Design, embodies the very ethos of sophistication. The contemporary designs used in the interior and exterior spaces manage to maintain a modern sense of aesthetics while simultaneously remaining warm and tranquil.

Careful attention was paid to the types of woods and fabrics used throughout Solemates. Straight grain Anigre, Wenge, and toned Maple burl run throughout the yacht. Most of the rooms have wood floors that allow spaces to flow from area to the next without interruption. This creates a harmonious feeling in the yacht's interior. The designers chose to use natural fabrics whenever possible. These low sheen fabrics have pale tones that expresses their softness before they are even touched. The designers also included a large amount of stainless steel and mirrored glass as architectural accents. This makes the large rooms appear even larger and contributes to the beauty of light coming in through the windows. The light is also affected by artistic glass that decorates many of the rooms.

The Sunreef 114's engineering and aesthetic prowess helps it stand out from other superyachts. This vessel can comfortably accommodate eight guests and up to six crewmembers. Sunreef also invested time developing an innovative design that allows it to perform as one of the best sailing yachts in the world. The Sunreef's large size immediately captures one's attention. In fact, it is one of the world's largest mult- hull yachts. Because of carefully crafted engineering, its large size does not prevent the vessel from moving at a rapid clip or turning easily on command.

Fidelis combines the fine craftsmanship that every yacht owner craves with modern aesthetics that make it stand out as something truly exceptional. The design from Perini Navi emphasizes large space, making it the perfect yacht for sunny days. Whether enjoying the deck or spending time in the comfortable living areas, the owners and their guests get to experience the ocean in true luxury.

Protesksan-Turquoise designed the Jazz Jr. to offer a superb blend of comfort and agility. The Jazz Jr. is built to compete in the world's most strenuous yachting competitions. That means it has the power, agility, and speed that make it thrilling to experience. If guests want to spend time on the deck, then they can watch the water pass by while wind whips through their hair. When standing still, they get a relaxing view of the surrounding ocean, making the Jazz Jr. perfect for sunbathing, enjoying a cool drink, or relaxing with friends.
