April 2012 Sailing Yacht of the Month: Sunreef Yachts’ Ipharra

Ipharra is not just the first Sunreef 102 Double Deck, but also the first-ever megayacht built by Sunreef Yachts. This sloop-rigged catamaran has been entertaining guests on the charter circuit on both sides of the Atlantic since delivery in 2010.

This video gives you a good idea of why Sunreef’s take on catamaran-style megayachts is increasingly gaining in popularity. The footage from her launch date showcases just how beamy she is. As the video goes on, especially take note of the forward master suite, with panoramic views made possible by locating the mast up on the flying bridge.

April 2012 Motoryacht of the Month: Wider Yachts 150

Wider Yachts announced its second project, the Wider 150, just last autumn, and we’re giving you the first peek at her. Thanks to virtual-reality technology, here’s a good look at her seemingly traditional profile, which quickly transforms into anything but traditional once her side platforms start to unfold. The 148-foot (45.12-meter) megayacht gains great sunning and lounging space when they’re deployed. Owners and guests also gain access to an indoor pool once the tender is deployed from the transom garage. Owners who like to tote an armada of toys, take note of the scene where a Tesla Roadster is stowed in the foredeck garage.

When you’re done playing the video, you can read even more about the Wider 150’s features.

March 2012 Sailing Yacht of the Month: Alloy Yachts’ Kokomo

Launched in 2009, the 192-foot (58.4-meter) megayacht Kokomo was the third sailing yacht her owners commissioned from Alloy Yachts. To put it into perspective, the first Kokomo, a frequent cruiser and regatta participant, was delivered in 2006, so clearly these owners enjoyed the planning and building process.

This video shows off Kokomo’s flying bridge profile and sloop configuration. You’ll also get a great look at her interior, highlighted by dark wenge wood with light-tone wood accents and plentiful brown leather, by Redman Whiteley Dixon.
