Lasy Solar Sunbed for Superyachts

Here’s the ultimate accessory for your superyacht’s sundeck—especially if your sun-loving guests like to lounge all day. Called Lasy Solar, it’s a sunbed that automatically rotates to follow the path of the sun.

Created by LMV Design, a furniture company specializing in highly unusual, tricked-out pieces, Lasy Solar relies on solar power. Sensors around the perimeter of the bed’s base charge lithium batteries concealed within it. This means no need to tap your yacht’s gensets, something that environmentally minded owners and crew should be happy about.

As for the sunbed itself, it’s akin to a king-size bed, though a queen-size option is available, too. Marine-grade leather covers the cushion, eliminating concerns over sun damage or sun lotion or other spills ruining it.

While you or your guests are reclining on it, you have a variety of ways to further your enjoyment. For example, you can prop up your head and back via electronic controls. There’s also a series of misters surrounding the bed, keeping you refreshed on hot days. For sundowners on deck or nighttime events, LEDs in the base add a little more atmosphere.

Of course, if you’d rather position yourself as the sun moves, you can order LMV Design’s Lasy Sun Bed, a non-solar version. But really, who wants a plain sunbed for a megayacht when a novel one is available?

Lasy Solar is marketed by a few companies, including AdTim. Base price is €98,000 (about $129,000). Custom color finishes and other materials are available, as are wireless remote commands.

Superyacht Tenders and Toys Customizing PWCs for Client

These days, it’s not enough to “just” have watertoys aboard. Take a peek inside the tender garages of some megayachts, and you’ll see tenders color coordinated to match the mothership.

Well, the owner of at least one megayacht is taking the concept a bit further. He’s tapped Superyacht Tenders and Toys for a handful of ultra-amped-up PWCs.

The image gallery here gives you a good idea of what they’ll look like. While the images are samples, they feature some of the options this particular owner wanted. He owns three Sea-Doo RXT 260s, which will be getting custom paint colors, teak footbeds, and seat cushions made of Fendi fabric.

Superyacht Tenders and Toys is working with Venom Design to execute the looks. Superyacht Tenders and Toys is perhaps best known for procuring various standard watertoys for clients, but it also will help owners obtain highly specialized ones, and even customize their current tenders. As for Venom Design, it specializes in tailoring not just PWCs but also boats, planes, and helicopters to clients’ requests.

Besides the options being incorporated on the three Sea-Doo models, Superyacht Tenders and Toys and Venom Design can execute pretty much anything. Want your yacht’s name embroidered on the seat? Done. Want exotic cushion coverings, like ostrich leather or crocodile? You’re in good company, as other clients have requested it, too. The handle bars on your waterbike will be trimmed to match, of course. (Take note of the handle bars in the photo for an example.) Plenty more options are available, such as massaging seats, an iPod docking system and speakers, and lighting.

Huckins Yacht Offering Custom Yacht Tender

Huckins Yacht is renowned for being one of the oldest family-owned and continuously operating boatbuilders in the United States. In fact, since 1928 it has been building a variety of custom boats—but not ones associated with the megayacht market.

Until now.

Huckins Yacht has a new 36-foot megayacht tender. If you’re familiar with the Florida-based builder’s offerings, you might notice a resemblance between the retro-styled megayacht tender and the Huckins Sportsman 36, one of its popular models. While they share the same profile, the tender has a different arrangement. For example, a dive platform can be added. The interior can be set up for shuttling supplies to and from shore, or for taking guests ashore in luxury. She can also be painted to match the megayacht to which she’ll belong. But really, given that all Huckins Yacht launches are completely custom, the differences can be infinite.

Something that won’t change, however, is the Quadraconic hull, constructed of fiberglass. A patented design created by Huckins’ founder, Frank Pembroke Huckins, the Quadraconic hull has four cone-shape sections, a sharp entry, and a flat aft section. It mixes the beneficial design characteristics of displacement and planing hulls: planing at lower speeds, resisting roll, and consuming low amounts of fuel.

As for those speeds, Huckins says the Huckins megayacht tender can achieve 30 knots or better with a variety of propulsion systems. These include engines with traditional shaft drives, waterjets, or pod drives, and even hybrid systems.
