Superyachts

A Visit to a Leading Italian Builder of Fast Yachts
300kph in a car; few people even motoring journalists have achieved that speed.  A few more will have travelled at 50+ knots in a power boat.  However, only a small minority will have travelled at that speed in a comfortable cruising motor yacht, doubtless with a glass of something good like champagne to hand.  Perhaps it is a case of more fizz in the yacht than in the champagne?

The Monaco Yacht Show was in fine fettle this year; those working with the largest yachts possessed the biggest smiles.  The aristocrats of the seas were all there with some extraordinarily fine yachts: Royal Huisman, Feadship and Lurssen included.  Joining in that league this year was Oceanco with the largest yacht in the show: the motor yacht ‘Equanimity’ at 91.5 m.  Her technical specification is taken to new heights from Ice Class 1E to the very demanding Passenger Yacht Code – the first superyacht to do so.
