Innholdsfortegnelse for No. 46 i SuperYacht World

We’re featuring two very different yachts this month, created with surprisingly similar aims. Irimari is the new flagship from Sunrise Yachts, a 63-metre for private family use, and she’ll be heading to the Indian Ocean for the winter (see page 46). Storm is the latest ocean-ready creation from Cantieri delle Marche, a go-anywhere 33-metre with an enviable list of voyages to come: Caribbean, Nova Scotia, Panama Canal (see page 80). What the yachts share are owners who understand the unique experiences that are available to them, their families and friends aboard their own vessel. "We plan to take Irimari round the world and discover places that are more remote,” her owner says. We look forward to following these two handsomely bespoked yachts as they create their own adventures. On the…

BAHAMAS ON THE MAP Now that summer is over, people are starting to think "aggressively” about Christmas, says Edward de Mallet Morgan of Knight Frank’s Caribbean desk. "While the Bahamas has tended to be predominantly popular with the North American domestic market, we’re seeing more interest now from British buyers.” He cites high-profile developments like the Albany, which has its own superyacht marina, as responsible for putting it more on the map of the wider market. "The great thing about the Bahamas is diversity, whether you want a three or four-bedroom house with ocean views, or something high-spec within a gated community. It’s also one of the most advantageous tax environments of the entire Caribbean.” THE CUCKOO’S NEST LYFORD CAY Guide price: $6.5 million Contact: Damianos Sotheby’s International Realty. Tel:…

WHEN & WHERE March 1931, Miami IMAGE Black Star / Alamy Stock Photo Dr Hugo Eckener, who led the devolopment of the Graf Zeppelin for passengers, sits on a ‘headless horse’ gym machine aboard Colonel Edward A. Deeds’ yacht, the 61-metre Cox & Stevens Lotosland . The pair were meeting to discuss a transatlantic air service. Eckener was overtaken by history in Germany and though never a friend of the Nazis (he considered standing against Hitler when that was still allowed), he was caught up in the post-war recriminations, until finally being rehabilitated. He died in 1954. The industrialist and inventor Deeds, who founded the Delco firm in 1909, died peacefully in 1960. The 1930 Lotosland, which sported a fully functioning pipe organ, was converted to US Navy patrol work…

This is a good time to be a sales director at Heesen Yachts, with a product that is increasingly in demand, the sales showing a consistent pattern of growth, and plenty of ideas for future development. For Heesen’s director of sales and marketing Mark Cavendish, who has become something of a company figurehead over the past few years, things are going smoothly. Not for nothing does he say: "I have one of the best jobs in the business!” Like many who can claim veteran status in the industry, a love of water came early and yet progress wasn’t always smooth. He was born in London but the family moved to Somerset when he was a youngster, where he was introduced "to the sea down the road”. "My parents bought a…

Name Mark Osterhaven, sales broker, Worth Avenue Yachts CV I grew up in Holland, Michigan, which boasts some famous yachting names close by - Broward, Tiara, and Chris-Craft (where my grandfather worked). I spent a lot of time on the water as a child. While at college I ran boats in the holidays, and after I did this full-time for the next ten years. These ranged in size from a 60ft sportsfisher to a 100ft Broward. I was captaining a Hatteras at the Fort Lauderdale show in 2007 when the broker liked the way I was showing people round, and offered me a full-time job. I joined Worth Avenue Yachts in 2013 - by far the best business decision I’ve ever made. Most memorable sale This was a couple of…

Designing for a residential property on land is not really that much different from designing for real estate that floats, explains Dickie Bannenberg about Bannenberg & Rowell’s latest project in Oman. Stability is naturally a factor, but he says: "The disciplines are the same with the axis and flows, and working your way around the spaces and symmetry with a design.” Those disciplines have provided the framework for a series of limited-edition townhomes that stand on the mountainside overlooking the hidden cove and shores of Barr Al Jissah, just a few miles from Muscat and overlooking the Arabian Sea. Until a road was carved through the ancient Al Hajar mountains that embrace Barr Al Jissah 15 years ago there was just a beach where endangered turtles still nest, and until…
