YOUR INVITATION – TO THE GREATEST REVEAL OF A LIFETIME
A
client who booked his first ever yacht charter with us last year, someone who has since become a friend, was talking to me recently during a fun filled birthday celebration for a member of his family, about one of the greatest moments of his life. It was that yacht charter. He told me that never, in all the years of bringing up a young family, had they ever experienced the bonding, the adventure, the relieffilled disconnect from noisy, hectic day-to-day lives that those two weeks on board a 50M/164’ yacht in the Caribbean introduced into all their lives. “We ate well,” he told me. “We slept soundly, we swam, dived and jet-skied, played games, went hiking around the islands and had proper meaningful conversations lounging in front of panoramic sunsets. It was like the ultimate detox.”
Whether you decide to own the experience with the purchase of your first ever superyacht, as you will hear from one Owner in the pages to follow, or you prefer the care-free get-away experience of a charter, our teams are here to ensure you enjoy access to nothing but the very best of all that yachts, yachting and the world we live in, have to offer. Enjoy this edition of FUSE – we hope you find it truly inspirational. For those of you who have not yet planned your summer of yachting – our teams are ready and waiting. And for those of you who have – we wish you fair winds and following seas.
It was his wife who perfectly topped this heartfelt testimonial when she added: “It has opened up a whole new world for us.” For me, and each one of my 190+ team worldwide at Fraser, this is why we do what we do every single day. In FUSE, we try to encapsulate all that awaits you, your family and friends once you take your first step aboard another world.

ust as every yacht differs, the needs of every Owner and Charterer vary too. From large collections of toys and tenders for fun in the sun, to generous outdoor areas and spa facilities that invite relaxation, to a fast yacht below 60M/196’ that can drop anchor in the shallowest of ports, here’s what you need to know to find the right yacht for you.
+70M/+230’ Superyachts in the +70M/230’ size range tick many boxes thanks to the abundance of onboard space. Large sundecks with bubbling hot tubs, sprawling beach clubs with spacious spas and a collection of pools are usually features you can count on in this size range. Beyond amenities, volume is key. A longer yacht length complemented by huge internal volume means added bonuses from helipads to more dining areas. That said, greater length does not always equate to greater volume, with some 50M yachts offering comparable internal volume to yachts in the 70M size range. The 88.5M/290’ ILLUSION PLUS, for sale with Fraser, boasts a generous 3,642GT volume, which means it offers a 5,000nm range, a touch-and-go helipad and welcomes 16 guests. At 92.4M/303’, TATOOSH (for sale, page 22) has two helicopter pads and a 6,855nm range, ideal for guests wanting to heli-ski or cruise remote regions like Patagonia. And for the sustainably-minded who fancy venturing to Greenland with a reduced footprint, the ice-classed, Polar Codeapproved and Clean Ship certified YERSIN (for sale, page 24) is a high-end explorer with the lowest environmental impact of any yacht on the market today. Northern European-built yachts tend to dominate the upper size bracket where greater length and volume often means more room for cinemas, gyms and nightclubs. It’s for this reason that Oceanco-
built WHEELS (for charter, page 44) is one of the most popular familyfriendly charter yachts on the market. Measuring 76M/249' with a 13.5M/44’ beam, its seven decks include one of the best-equipped cinemas out there, a disco for partying the night away and a sundeck hot tub. On the flipside, a smaller draft provides greater opportunities to anchor in coves many larger yachts can only dream of getting close to.
60-70M/196-230’ While every Owner and charter guest benefits from seven-star service and exceptional standards of accommodation, some groups have difficulty deciding who should take the Master suite. A yacht in the 6070M range, such as 60M/196’ FORMOSA (for charter, page 46) solves that issue. FORMOSA features both a dedicated Owner’s deck and two main deck VIP suites, ensuring all guests feel prioritised. Special events you would like to hold on board, such as milestone birthdays or large-scale entertaining, will again influence your choice of boat. Most 60-70M/196’-230' yachts will sleep up to 12 guests with deck spaces large enough to welcome more guests for parties, but few are equipped to seat 60 guests for a gourmet lunch or up to 350 guests for events at quay (depending on the circumstances), which makes FORCE BLUE (for charter, page 45) a unique proposition. At a newly extended length of 70M/229’, FORCE BLUE is one of the most popular yachts in the Fraser charter fleet. A significant winter refit sees her present like new for the 2022 summer season, with an extended bathing platform, sprawling beach club and a redesigned sea-level lounge. The explorer’s 1,325GT volume gifts stand-out amenities that set her apart from other 70M yachts, with a hot tub, wine cellar, disco and one of the largest yacht spas ever seen.

WAKING UP TO A NEW HORIZON EACH DAY IS THE ESSENCE OF LIFE ABOARD A SUPERYACHT. THE FRASER CHARTER TEAM PLOTS TWO DISTINCTLY DIFFERENT ISLAND-HOPPING DESTINATIONS IN TWO OF THE MOST SOUGHT-AFTER REGIONS TO INSPIRE YOUR SUMMER SOJOURN
CYCLADES, GREECE WIND-SWEPT ROMANCE
W
ith their steady sea breezes, dramatic landscapes and natural harbours, the Cyclades are a haven for waterborne travellers. Conveniently positioned close to Athens, the location of Fraser's new Greek office, the 24 inhabited islands are as delightful as they are disparate.
DAY 1 KÉA Board your yacht in Athens and move out for the picturesque island of Kéa, where neoclassical houses replace the typical Cycladic white-washed, turquoise-domed buildings. Head for the hamlet of Vourkari to enjoy your first meal at starlit seafood eatery Strofi Tou Mimi, where the bay laps at the table. DAY 2 TINOS AND MYKONOS From Kéa, sail to Tinos for a post-breakfast hike across rugged terrain, before enjoying a 20-minute cruise to the windmill island of Mykonos. It enjoys a strong party vibe, but those in the know head for the scenic cave of Agia Anna, next to Kalafatis beach. Carved into rock and hanging over the sea, it’s home to the restorative Spilia Seaside beach club.
12 / 11
DAY 3 PAROS Today, head for the jasmine-scented island of Paros, prized for its Parian marble and fertile terroir. Founded in 1910, the family-owned Moraitis winery offers tantalising tastings from its ten-hectare estate, which conveniently neighbours Agioi Anargyroi beach and is just a short stroll from the Port of Paros. DAY 4 IOS Spend the fourth day of your Greek yacht charter on the island of Ios, where the northern winds in the summer months have created a kitesurfing mecca. The golden sands of Agia Theodoti beach sit off the beaten track. The sheltered bay suits swimmers, sunbathers and those looking to catch big air, all captured in one glorious setting. DAY 5 SANTORINI The volcanic island of Santorini offers spectacular landscapes and golden sunsets. The isle is dominated by a giant caldera that provides a deep and sheltered harbour and is identified by bright white vertiginous villages that soar up the cliff face. Drop anchor on the south side of the island to step foot on its crimson Red Beach, snorkel in the gin-clear sea and swim through myriad sea caves.

When we started the superyacht ownership conversation 20 years ago, my wife did the math and said, ‘explain the logic.’ But there is no logic. I’ve wanted to do this my whole life and it's gonna be cool!” SCOTT LAWLOR

MEET THE OWNERS SERIES: CORAZÓN
CORAZON FIRST-TIME SUPERYACHT OWNER SCOTT LAWLOR SHARES HIS THOUGHTS ON WHY SIZING UP TO 34M/112’ CORAZÓN IS SUCH AN EXCITING PROPOSITION.
S
cott Lawlor, new owner of 34M/112’ Sunseeker CORAZÓN, lives and breathes boats. He and his wife have owned vessels ranging between 7M/25’ and 18M/60’ for the past 40 years and have chartered yachts up to 36.5M/120’ for two decades. In February 2022, they moved to the next level and took delivery of CORAZÓN, their first superyacht, and the real estate businessman’s enthusiasm is palpable.
“I've always owned boats, but a superyacht is a totally different experience,” he says. “Everyone has things that resonate – a lot of my friends enjoy art and wine – but my one thing is stuff that floats. Making the leap into buying the kind of yacht that we used to charter is terrific.” The adventure began last summer when they listed their 18M/60’ Sunseeker for sale and started the search. “There wasn’t a triggering event as such. I just said to my wife, I think it's time,” he says. Their criteria were simple. No smaller than 33.4M/110’, no larger than 40M/130’, with room enough for their six children. “ You can get a good deal on an older boat in a rougher condition, but then you're looking at a project,” says Lawlor. “After Covid, the supply delays mean something that used to take 90 days to do up now takes more like six to nine months. Buying a boat in April that I couldn't use until Christmas didn’t appeal. So, we needed a boat in good condition, at the right price and the right size. It wasn't any smarter than that.”
