Le Grill at The Hotel de Paris Monte-Carlo

Dining at Le Grill Presents the Best Monaco has to Offer

As the NAVIS team began to prepare for their annual dinner, there was immediately one location that came to mind. Not only is Monte Carlo the world’s premier destination for superyachts and superyacht enthusiasts, but it is also home to some of the most fabulous and exquisite restaurants in the world. Le Grille—which is located on the eighth floor of the Hotel de Paris Monte-Carlo, overlooking the Mediterranean Sea—proved once again to be a fantastic dining choice, worthy of the highest levels of praise and admiration.

Hotel de Paris Tribute to Princess Grace

A beautiful and passionate young girl once dreamt of a storybook life -- a life of glamour, accomplishment, and status. Born into the middle of a handsome, athletic Philadelphia family, this talented young girl’s dreams were different than those of her sportier siblings, directing her instead toward the stage and screen as opposed to athletic pursuits.

Little did she know that her studies and experiences on Broadway and in Hollywood prepared a foundation that would prove invaluable for the most important role of her lifetime. She would be cast in many extraordinary roles over her career, but one stood superior, forever establishing her as a beloved princess, reigning over one of the most elegant, fabled, historic principalities in the world.

2018 Monaco Yacht Show In Review

As the Mediterranean yachting season begins to wind down, wrapping itself in the splendor that is the Monaco Yacht Show, it is only fitting to give it a proper send-off with a comprehensive review.

This 28th year continued to build on the show’s reputation as THE show for serious superyacht shopping.

Bilgin 48m Nerissa

Bilgin Nerissa Melds Classic Lines with Contemporary Interiors

In perfect proportion, Bilgin’s beautiful superyacht Nerissa looks every bit the part of the classic superyacht, with swept back superstructure, gleaming white hull, and four luxurious decks. With a knowing exterior that subtly hints of her contemporary secrets, Nerissa is more than just a pretty profile.

Su Marine Yachts 47m Roxanne

Roxanne, one of the more recent superyacht’s to be launched by Su Marine Yachts in Istanbul is as much about being a place to entertain as it is a yacht. Indeed the ability to entertain up to 30 guests was in the design brief and of paramount importance to the yacht’s owner. He wanted his guests to be comfortable and safe even under sail, and by all accounts, the owner was thrilled with the result. Su Marine Yachts not only delivered on that request, but they delivered the boat precisely on schedule and on budget. They had to, the owner had already planned the maiden voyage and invited his guests.

CRN 50m Latona

CRN’s latest yacht should come with a caution: Stepping on board superyacht Latona may result in losing all track of time. This stunning superyacht from The Ferretti Group employs all the talents and skills of fine custom shipbuilding and innovative technologies while remaining true to the owner’s preferences and specifications. Making her debut at the 2018 Monaco Yacht Show, Latona proved the talk of the town.

Perini Navi Cup 2018

Perini Navi Cup Highlights the Best Racing Has to Offer

Though the shipbuilding community has always placed a strong emphasis on luxury and certain aesthetics, performance has long been one of the primary drivers of innovation. After all, it is the ability to perform against the tests of the open water that allows these boats to truly distinguish themselves.

Open water racing is a tradition as old as yacht building itself. But for the past fourteen years, there has been a new event working diligently to gain recognition from the community as a whole. The Perini Navi Cup has quickly established itself as one of the premier yachting events in the world.

Aston Martin DB11 Volante

A Look Inside Another Aston Martin Masterpiece

Since 1913, Aston Martin has worked diligently to establish itself as one of the premier auto manufacturers in the entire world. The company has maintained a stellar reputation due to their innovative thinking, attention to detail, and ability to design luxury cars that combine the best of the old with the best of the new. Unsurprisingly, the release of the absolutely magnificent DB11 Volante has already earned a significant amount of praise from automobile enthusiasts everywhere.
Aston Martin first launched their DB11 series of automobiles in 2016 in an effort to replace the well-respected DB9. Though expectations for the auto manufacturer were certainly quite high from the very beginning, the beautiful form and excellent function of the DB11 makes it clear that these expectations were not just met, but triumphantly exceeded. To quote Top Gear’s Jeremy Clarkson, “if you’re ever in Paris, at a party at 3 AM, and suddenly remember you are playing in a tennis tournament in Monte Carlo the next afternoon, this is the car for the job.”
