boatinternational.com/podcasts Hats off, Rossinavi and Royal Huisman. The former built our Motor Yacht of the Year, 65.7m Alchemy, and the latter was responsible for 59.7m Sarissa, the Sailing Yacht of the Year. Their Neptunes were awarded at a spectacular World Superyacht Awards ceremony in Venice in early May (page 105). Both yards are in something of a purple patch. Rossinavi has also just launched one of the most advanced motor catamarans ever constructed, the incredible-looking Seawolf X, and Royal Huisman is moments away from delivering the world's largest sportfisher, 52m Special One. As a fan, these sorts of projects get my blood pumping. Perhaps it's because I understand the years of labour required before any metal ever touches the water, a fact that's sometimes missed in the flash bulbs as…

Batteries included Feadship's newly launched 92-metre project is one of the most eco-conscious Dutch builds on the water, says Katia Damborsky Known only as Project 1012, Feadship's new 91.8-metre is the first in the yard's fleet to carry full Hybrid Electric Class notation. Built for a repeat Feadship client who approached the yard with a clear vision, the superyacht is “state of the art”, according to Feadship, using a megawatt's worth of electric batteries to cruise at moderate speeds while also powering the hotel load. Green credentials aside, the yacht is full of fun features, including a beach club that spans one quarter of the yacht's length - about 23 metres. Forward of this is a side-loading tender garage that can house two 10-metre tenders, a ski boat and various…

Francesco Saitta, owner of 33-metre Custom Line South I am Sicilian and my mother instilled in me a passion for the sea. When I was 18, she gave me her 12-metre boat and said, “now you take me around”. In 2005, I created a charter business. When I was thinking of a name for ray company, I decided on Mikasa - from Michela, my daughter's name, and the Italian word for home, casa. One of my most memorable experiences was a trip to Stromboli for a banker and his family. We moored under the Sciara del Fuoco - Stream of Fire - the moon was full and we were right under Stromboli when it erupted. The balls of fire get bigger as they roll down the mountain, then when they hit…

Voyage Inspiring your next adventure Bringing a taste of Mediterranean style to Downtown Dubai, The Lana, which opened in February, is the Dorchester Collection's debut in the Middle East. The 225 -key hotel's striking mirrored fagade - designed by Foster + Partners - overlooks the vibrant Business Bay area, reflecting the waters of Dubai Canal. For peerless vistas of the city, the rooftop infinity pool certainly delivers. And it's a culinary magnet too, thanks to High Society, one of two Mediterranean-themed eateries by Jean Imbert. Among The Lana's eight dining concepts is the evening-only Jara by Martin Berasategui, where seafood and tender cuts of meat are cooked in clay-pit ovens. It complements the sophistication of celebrated pastry chef Angelo Musa's Bonbon Cafe and The Gallery, which provides British afternoon tea.…

Issy von Simson Formerly the editor-in-chief of Loupe and editor of Condé Nast Traveller, Issy is now a freelance writer and content consultant working across travel, wellness and beauty. For this issue, she reviews the revival of legendary London restaurant Arlington (page 72). The best thing about Arlington? The fact it has hardly changed since my engagement dinner there 15 years ago. Same menu, same interiors, same crowd, all just given a little zhuzh and a new name Your favourite of all the hotels and resorts you've reviewed? I have an amazing job but it does mean that I rarely visit anywhere twice. I've been daydreaming for ages about getting back to Borgo Santo Pietro in Tuscany. I was one of the first journalists to stay when it opened and I…

SEIZED YACHT UP FOR AUCTION In a landmark move, the 92.5-metre sanctioned superyacht Royal Romance is set to go under the hammer with the funds going towards “the budget of Ukraine”, according to Ukrainian officials. The yacht was seized in March 2022. €1.6 BILLION Ferretti Group's order book value after the first quarter of 2024 A bigger splash A huge project is currently underway at Dörries Yachts, a German shipyard based in Bremerhaven that typically builds commercial boats. Known as Project Arwen, the 114.1-metre superyacht is being built for an owner looking for a “retreat that feels like a true home” that is “customised to his exact preferences”. Key features include a 20-metre-long swimming pool. dorriesyachts.com Huisman hits new highs Royal Huisman has been raising eyebrows this month, starting with…

WILD WATER I wish I could say it is a beautiful, sunny day here at the Ferretti Group's home base of Lake Iseo, where I am about to board a Riva El-Iseo. The weather has other ideas - wet, grey ones - but, happily, that doesn't detract from the sheer thrill of trialling Riva's first all-electric boat. Launched in 2023, the El-Iseo is the e-iteration of the brand's beloved Iseo model, launched in 2011. It takes the familiar shape of classic open Rivas, with a polished mahogany bow and stern platform, aft sunpad and comfortable cockpit. Ironic considering today's weather, it's a design that speaks of scorching hot days out on the Mediterranean and 1960s style. So this boat is both a nod to the past and a glimpse into…

BOAT LIFE ARLINGTON, LONDON by Issy von Simson Probably no London restaurant opening has cooked up as many column inches as Arlington's. Everyone had preconceived ideas of the new-look Le Caprice, with stories of Princess Diana frequenting her favourite corner table, of Elton John and Joan Collins holding court, of Nicholas Coleridge using it like a Condé Nast canteen, wining and dining a coterie of curious and glamorous guests. Those were the glory days, under the power-duo ownership of Corbin & King. After being sold to Richard Caring, the restaurant's light faded a little until Covid-19's first act when it went out altogether. But now, thanks to the wondrous ever-revolving door of the capital's hospitality scene, Jeremy King has once again found himself back at the legendary spot on Arlington…

BOAT LIFE With the threat of frost damage in winter and mealy bugs and mildew in summer, winemaking can be a precarious business. Yet for enthusiasts, making your own wine is an intoxicating dream. Most of the wine we drink is produced commercially and on a grand scale. But a hobby vineyard set on a handful of hectares can still produce a few thousand bottles per year and is becoming an increasingly popular add-on to a prime country home across Europe, the US, Australia, New Zealand and South Africa. “Honestly, who wouldn't want to have their own name on a wine label?” asks Arthur Goodrich, of Sotheby's International Realty in St Helena, in California's wine country. Goodrich's vineyard buyers tend to be American second-homeowners in their forties and fifties, who…

OWNERS' CLUB ON BOARD WITH If any movie director were available to make a biopic about Josh Golder, surely Golder himself would be the lead contender. The infectiously energetic 43-year-old is an avid YouTuber and credited documentarian, and is firmly at the helm of his own journey through life. He is also “ecstatic” to finally be aboard his new 47-metre Dunya Yachts-built King Benji explorer boat, (she's an “11 out of 10”), and is already envisioning his next yacht-building adventure. “I'd like to build a 5,000 to 10,000GT explorer 10 to 20 times the size of King Benji - with a 1,000-square-metre gym and similar-sized spa and dog park,” he says. “Some boats have come close - Andromeda and Ulysses - but we're talking about a level above. It's the building…

“I have never understood the ‘Lord Nelson’ approach to nautical design: yachts are ultra-technological - why all the tradition?” says Piero Lissoni, the architect who is also Sanlorenzo Yachts' art director, and who designed the interiors of the second Sanlorenzo 57Steel, Virtuosity. “Likewise, I don't see why a yacht should be a compendium of all things associated with wealth - marbles, hides, exotic woods - because luxury and vulgarity often go hand in hand. Why do people who have beautiful homes then have such vulgar yachts? I think that this vulgarity more often than not comes from the shipyard architects who seem to think that wealthy owners want splashy materials. I don't agree with that.” So what does he think a yacht should be? A land-based architect by training, Lissoni…

VOYAGE Lo Scoglio Marina del Cantone, Italy Less of a hidden gem and more of a local institution, Lo Scoglio is famed for its southern Italian flavours. The al fresco restaurant's deck sits precariously on a boulder, looking out over the sea in Marina del Cantone. Since it was established in 1958, few things at Lo Scoglio have changed, contributing to the rustic charm that makes this restaurant famous. The menu is peppered with familiar favourites such as vongole, fresh fish and caprese salad. hotelloscoglio.com Italy Da Adolfo Positano Sitting on the shingle of Laurito beach, encircled by huge craggy cliffs, the red-canopied restaurant Da Adolfo is accessible only by boat (yours or theirs). It's a classic spot and a local favourite that dates to 1966, serving unfitssy regional food…

The ceremony itself is fittingly spectacular too – this year's took place by special arrangement with the Mayor of Venice, at the Arsenale di Venezia, once the hub of Venetian shipbuilding, with welcome drinks at the Palazzo Pisani Moretta.
