Having grown up on New York’s famed Long Island, and with relatives in Sag Harbor and East Hampton, I’m delighted that more and more megayachts are discovering what I’ve known all along: There are plenty of quiet, quaint ports to drop the hook or tie up to a dock. The teams at The Sacks Group…
Judging from the looks of this photo-realistic rendering, if you can’t sleep comfortably in this master stateroom while cruising the eastern seaboard, then the yachting life just isn’t for you.This is a sneak peek at the interior of Miss Lisa, from the drawing boards of Joseph Artese Design.

Just within the past few weeks, Benetti delivered the 164-foot Alibella, the latest in a successful series of similar-size megayachts. Benetti likes to describe her as an East-meets-West yacht, with a mixture of Western and Asian decor influences. As you can see in the interior images here, ivory is a dominant color, from the carpeting…
If you hear someone say they’re going to the Eastern Pacific Yacht Club (EPYC), don’t envision a brick-and-mortar facade with a bunch of slips located a few hundred feet down a rolling lawn. Instead, picture the 160-footer above, complete with comfortably appointed staterooms (see below), a Jacuzzi and other amenities you’d expect to find aboard a…
Usually when builders have a new yacht that’s about to launch, we in the media receive a traditional press release outlining the boat’s main features along with an illustration or photo.

The car dealer and collector has earned renown in megayacht circles for naming his yachts after James Bond flicks. He’s…
Talk about a boatload: The video you’re about to watch shows the careful loading of molds for a 462-footer that will be built in the Middle East. The yacht that will result from the molds isn’t named, nor is the builder or designer, but somehow the transportation company was permitted to reveal last Wednesday that…
Tearing apart an engine room on a 156-footer, rebuilding major machinery, reconfiguring the sundeck, gutting the owner’s stateroom and some of the guest staterooms, redesigning crew staterooms, and redecking two of her three decks is no small task. So imagine doing this in nine months’ time—on schedule, despite the scope of the work having increased…
With all due respect to the late Walt Disney, here’s one fair lady who found her Prince Charming without having to encounter a jealous queen or seven little men.You’re looking at the superstructure of Moonen Shipyards’ largest-ever yacht, Snow White, en route to its new construction facility in Groot-Ammers, Holland.

While at 23 meters (75 feet) the FM75 Sossego is just shy of being a proper megayacht, I’m still featuring her here, because she’s an intriguing project. Not only is the world-renown Frank Mulder responsible for her design, he’s also responsible for her construction, via Frank Mulder Yacht Projects.Mulder has a well-earned reputation for being…
