Just when we thought we had found our favourite, a spanner is thrown into the works. Yachts have a hypnotic charisma.
Nearly a year ago, we wrote that the Maltese Falcon was “the yacht that rips up the script and sets a new standard” – she is fast, luxurious and equipped with a riot of toys. She was the one we here at The Gentleman’s Journal were besotted with, but, as is the way with superyachts, here are five new choices we’re adding to our bucket list…
HANA
Hana is the perfect yacht on which to kick back and relax. Her large windows pour natural daylight into her modern interior, while her staterooms are luxurious.
Buy: €12.95million
Charter: from €135,000 per week
DB9
Custom-built as a performance yacht capable of speeds up to 22 knots, her striking golden hull is recognisable in every port. Her distinctive exterior reflects the ultra chic interior, featuring a luxurious décor with selected veneer and accents of contrasting wood. She has an exquisite 8-metre swimming pool on the foredeck, open-air cinema and several other unique features.
Buy: US$31million
LULWORTH
Built by White Brothers Southampton, Lulworth has been immaculately restored with great attention to detail and offers a yacht with both history and astonishing accommodation. This is a fantastic opportunity to own an iconic sailing yacht, perfect for participating in classic regattas in the Mediterranean and Caribbean. Although built as a racing vessel, she is also well suited for cruising and entertaining guests.
Asking price: €10.8million
SILENCIO
The third vessel in the award-winning Perini Navi series, Silencio offers a modern design while maintaining classic Perini Navi lines. Custom built in 2001, she was refitted and refurbished in 2012 and now boasts a chic interior styled by Christian Liagre. She recently took first place in the New Zealand Millennium Cup, and is available to charter in the South Pacific.
Buy: €17.5 million
Charter: from €175,000 per week
POLAR STAR
Polar Star combines striking lines with meticulous attention to detail throughout. Her classically elegant interior features delicate French influences, handpicked antiques and beautiful wall murals that create an air of opulence.
Buy: €55million
Charter: from €380,000 per week
