Baltic Yachts’ First Foil-Assisted Luxury Sailing Yacht Raven Is A Game Changer

Baltic’s decidedly sui generis 34-meter sailing superyacht is riveting from the very first glance. Meticulously pared down in terms of weight, thoroughly steeped in purposeful industrial chic, and technically superior in materials, systems, and design, Raven is the wild card. A gauntlet thrown down in the luxury sailing yacht game with the potential to change everything.

An assisted foiling yacht, Raven spreads her canting T-wings and lifts her beaked bow from the water only as much as required to reduce the lightship displacement of this phenom to its targeted weight of 55 tons. Peers, if they can even graciously manage to be called that, generally register between 75 and 100 tons. The stern continues playing with the waterline as Raven sails along on her leeward chine, the leeward foil providing a significant proportion of displacement.

Rossinavi’s First BluE Hybrid Project No Stress Two Inspired by Nature

With a strong profile, efficient lines, elegant interior, and vanguard technology, Rossinavi’s motor yacht No Stress Two is a milestone for their BluE project initiative. Inspired by some of nature’s tiniest energy producers, photosynthesizing phytoplankton served as role models for the BluE line of Rossinavi yachts as they both convert sunlight to energy. Stored during the day, their bioluminescent capabilities use that energy to light up the night.

Stepping aboard the Heesen 50m superyacht Ocean Z is like entering a magical realm where art intersects with engineering. Aboard this magnificent yacht, luxury is redefined, and every detail exudes craftsmanship. Ocean Z is a fine example of Heesen’s renowned shipbuilding expertise, and aptly captures the essence of elegance and performance with aesthetic allure and sophisticated features.

From the moment Ocean Z graces the horizon, her sleek silhouette commands attention. Designed by Clifford Denn Design, the exterior styling is a harmonious blend of contemporary aesthetics and timeless grace. The yacht’s robust steel hull and aluminum superstructure with reversed steel bow embodies her impeccable beauty, durability, and performance. Her streamlined profile is accentuated by large sweeping windows cutting across the length of the yacht’s structure and allowing natural light to flood the interior spaces, creating plenty of bright and airy areas. Her exterior is a tasteful blend of sharp lines, shining dramatic windows, and sleek gentle curves, which reflect the light beautifully, making her a striking sight whether at anchor or slicing through the ocean waves.

Nestled at the edge of Europe and Asia, and often referred to as “the grande dame of the Bophorus,” the celebrated Çirağan Palace Kempinski enjoys an enviable location at the water’s edge in Istanbul’s upscale Beşiktaş neighborhood. This is a site where East meets West, where cultures, lifestyles, even eras seamlessly converge and where Ottoman royalty have been dwelling and celebrating, even before the last historic portions were built. The Çirağan Palace is the only 5-star hotel that actually functioned as an Ottoman Imperial palace, occupied by Sultan Abdülaziz as well as his successors, the last remaining viziers and pashas of the once mighty Empire. The Palace’s name derives from the Persian “cerag,” meaning “torch,” and harkens back to festivals held in the vast gardens during the historic Tulip Era of the 1700’s. The revitalized Çirağan Palace still holds sway in today’s Istanbul, reigning now as an ultimate urban retreat attracting both locals and visitors for dining, celebrating, and relaxing, a true oasis in the heart of this bustling metropolis, it is deal for those seeking exquisite surroundings, exceptional service, and a wealth of opportunities for true relaxation and pleasure in this city brimming with rich history and culture.

Thousands of years of history and the origins of modern civilization unfold before your eyes here in the sparkling waters along the Turquoise Coast of Bodrum.

Despite its rich heritage, it wasn’t really until the 1970’s that Bodrum was anything more than the well-kept secret of yachters and a gleam in a developer’s eye.
