May 08, 2013

Italian photographer and yacht-spotter, Roberto Malfatti, has sent us this video and an image of a luxury yacht approaching the port of Livorno,Italy, on 3rd May, 2013. Although the name of the yacht cannot be seen on the vessel, it appears to be Sanlorenzo built superyacht, very likely an SL108 superyacht. Similar vessel to the one on the video below seems to be the Sanlorenzo 108 yacht Regine launched in 2012. In addition, Sanlorenzo has recently launched 3 beautiful yachts in just one week: Motor Yacht B2, Lilya and yacht Pioppi.

Sanlorenzo SL82 “Pioppi”  yacht  measures 23,95m length and is characterised by smooth, elegant and  absolutely classic exterior lines – in the perfect Sanlorenzo tradition – that guarantee a  long-lasting value to the yacht. The Italian owner of Pioppi personally chose the décor by  selecting as main wood for the interior and the floorings the precious flamed Canaletto  walnut, while all the furniture are upholstered by varnished Blanc Cassé; for the marbles in  the bathrooms, he selected Silk Georgette and Tabacco Brown; exclusive fabrics by  Dominique Kieffer, Minotti and Maria Flora complete the elegant décor. The huge fly bridge wholly hosts beautiful teak stave furniture all over its length, thanks to  the positioning of the tender on the lift aft-platform.

Motor Yacht Azimut 80 to be presented during Azimut|Benetti Gala

April 19, 2013

The Azimut|Benetti Gala to be held at the end of June will see the new 24-metre Azimut Yachts officially presented. The new series of yachts represent contemporary lifestyle by providing outstanding comfort in four cabins, five bathrooms and a 42-square-metre flybridge. They also boast innovative solutions for the furnishings and precise lighting design. The motor yacht Azimut 80 is the first of the yachts, measuring more than 72 feet designed entirely at Azimut’s headquarters at Avigliana, Italy.

Motor yacht Azimut 80

It builds on the experience of recent, larger vessels developed in the exterior design by Stefano Righini while the design of interiors was handled by Achille Salvagni Architetti. The Azimut 80 is a leisure craft built in CE class: A, and is thus able to tackle any weather conditions. The layout comprises 4 cabins, all with bathroom, including the owner’s cabin extending over the full beam. The yacht can accommodate 8 guests and includes an enormous flybridge, designed for maximum versatility of use.

ALWAYS IN TOUCH WITH THE SEA… AND PLENTY OF SPACE: THE GUEST IS KING

Panoramic windows and maximum convenience for the guests’ cabins revolutionise the way of cruising.

The sense of space in the owner’s cabin and in the splendid bathroom are certainly among the strong points of the yacht, together with the innovative windows offering extraordinary luminosity and an unmatched panoramic view. The five vertical windows effectively transform the bulkheads into a single window for a ‘dive into the ocean’ effect. The owner’s bathroom, covering the entire beam of the yacht and with a double entrance located aft of the cabin, is almost a spa, with a central crystal shower box offering maximum visibility on either side of the bathroom. The opening portholes present in all the cabins offer a high level of natural ventilation.

In the first model available, dove-coloured leather panels with a barely hinted padded decoration that becomes lighter and lighter in the various cabins, adorn the bed heads of each cabin. The interior decoration of the new Azimut 80 is extremely refined and at the same contemporary, thanks to the combination of fine materials and modern touches: marble for the bathrooms, grey bleached oak alternating with dark wood and painted detailing in the skylights and windows all define a sober, sophisticated atmosphere. Other stylistic combinations are already in the pipeline.

The starboard cabin has two single beds and the possibility of a third fold-down bed, plenty of stowage and a bathroom with separate shower, while the guests’ cabin on the port side has a double bed. There is no lack of large windows and opening portholes. In the VIP cabin located further forward, there is one panoramic window on either side; the bed is set centrally with the head towards the bow.

A carefully planned lighting design based on LED technology makes possible a sophisticated modulation of the light in each interior space. Moreover, the play of mirrors and the height of the interiors – well over two metres high – ensure a truly exceptional sense of space.

A SALON AND INTERNAL SPACES BROUGHT TO LIFE WITH LIGHT

Light and comfort are the key concepts underlying the design of the main deck.

The cockpit with teak flooring is extremely spacious and dedicated to socialising, with a large sofa aft and dining table seating eight. The design of two sky-ground windows (1.6 m by 2 m of glass) located in the dining area is very impressive, as it offers a fantastic natural light and breathtaking view.

The galley, fitted with Miele appliances, is available in two versions: enclosed or open-space. In both cases, there is a double access, towards the interior and towards the exterior, to assure maximum independence between guests and crew. The main deck is also equipped with a function day toilet.

LIVING IN THE OPEN AIR: EXTRA-LARGE SPACES TO BE ENJOYED UNTIL THE EVENING

The swimming platform measuring almost 9 square metres and the large fly are the pride and joy of the new Azimut 80 yacht.

The swimming platform is incredibly large – almost 9 square metres – and provides plenty of room for the launch and retrieval of tenders exceeding 4 metres in length or of jet skis.

Further forward, the space is divided into a large sun deck that can comfortably accommodate four people, and an area with a ‘C’-shaped sofa just aft of the windscreen, with further storage.

The fly: 42 square metres of versatile space lending itself to a variety of uses. The seating is a combination of ‘L’-shaped sofas that can be configured as desired. Alongside the helm, there are two sofas positioned in a ‘C’ facing the large table seating eight. The fly is an ideal place from morning to evening; a convenient and well-equipped bar unit has a barbecue, refrigerator and sink, but also houses a retractable 42-inch TV and constitutes the base for an elegant Plexiglas bar counter. Further aft, the second area offers maximum flexibility in terms of fittings: it can be left unencumbered, furnished with sofas, set aside for the tender or as a sun deck, or fitted with a hydromassage. The Azimut 80 yacht can also be constructed with an opening hard top and rolling awning towards the stern.

In the engine room, the two 1550 hp MAN engines provide a top speed of 30 knots. The fuel tank has a capacity of 6,000 litres, while the water tank can contain 1,200 litres. As optional extras, the luxury yacht Azimut 80 can be fitted with electric CMC Marine stabilising fins or gyroscopic Seakeeper stabilisers.

Luxury Yacht Charter in Spain this Summer 2013

April 17, 2013

If you have decided that you should spend your summer holiday on a yacht charter in Spain than reading this article is just the right place to start. One of the most popular countries in the Mediterranean and amongst the most beautiful and diverse places to visit, Spain and its islands is a destination that tourists like to explore over and over again. Whether it’s the lovely warm climate, Spaniards’ passion for good life and food or the beautiful anchorages, this place will keep you entertained, amazed, relaxed and most of all, wanting for more. Balearic Islands, located in the western Mediterranean Sea, are  the most popular charter location in Spain with charter itineraries starting and ending in either Mallorca or Ibiza.

Mallorca

Mallorca

On a charter vacation in the Balearics you will encounter continuous sunshine, azure waters, beautiful beaches and rugged landscape with numerous historical sites to visit, including castles, museums and ancient cobbled streets in charming little towns.  The four largest islands to explore are Majorca, Minorca, Ibiza and Formentera.

Mallorca

Majorca yacht charter offers world-renowned beaches and coves, and is an excellent destination to enjoy everything from countryside golf to historic culture or water sports and lively entertainment. The capital city Palma has plenty of outdoor cafés, pubs and large seafront discos hosting some of the best DJs on the music scene.

Menorca

Menorca

Menorca boasts more beaches than Ibiza, Mallorca and Formentera combined and there are numerous attractions, including fabulous archeological sites and cultural attractions throughout the island. For Menorca yacht charterers this is a perfect place to enjoy some diving, thanks to the crystal clear waters and fantastic diving sites. Minorca is also a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve and features marked trails and routes in southern Europe‘s most important wetland areas.

Ibiza

Ibiza

Known as the ‘White Island’ thanks to its typical architecture, Ibiza is one of the best known islands in the world. If you are after lively nightlife and great entertainment on your luxury yacht charter, than Ibiza is the right destination. The entertainment isn’t just reserved to the night clubs. After the sunset Ibiza plays host to street markets, terrace bars, open-air cultural events and concerts.

However, there is much more to Ibiza than night-time entertainment. The island is a UNESCO World Heritage destination for its cultural wealth, boasting wonderful archaeological history and museums. By day you could choose to explore the ancient heritage of the island or simply relax and enjoy one of the many tiny coves, broad white sand beaches and water activities.  There are also two beautiful National Parks to visit in Ibiza: the Ses Salinas National Park and the Es Vedrà – an uninhabited nature reserve island.

Formentera
