Blue Skies Ahead
All Aboard the Never Rest Superyacht
Photography by Romona Robbins
With moderate winds and a forecast calling for rain, the Never Rest superyacht set out for a leisurely three-hour tour on the Choctawhatchee Bay in Northwest Florida. Members of the VIE magazine team, models Aisling Ryan and Emme Martin, and a small group of friends and family embarked from the Baytowne Marina in Sandestin for a celebratory bridal shoot on the gorgeous eighty-four-foot Maiora yacht. Its sleek hull cut through the choppy water like butter while Captain Steve Hoyt expertly navigated toward Crab Island. The famed Destin, Florida, tourism spot is known for its clear turquoise water and views of the Destin Bridge, East Pass, and the Gulf of Mexico beyond. As Captain Steve and his first mate, Elizabeth Stowe, welcomed their passengers with nothing less than the warmest hospitality, their sunny dispositions seemed to beam toward the sky. By the time the photo shoot began, bright rays had peeked through the gray blanket of clouds that had threatened to hang around all day. Aisling looked every bit the stunning blushing bride that she had when she married Peter Bellotti last September in Cape Cod. Honorary bridesmaid and fellow model Emme Martin exuded stylish resort vacation vibes for our inaugural Beach Towns Issue cover shoot. Many thanks to Never Rest owner Quin Flowers for the use of his beautiful watercraft and to isidro dunbar Modern Interiors owner/creative director Todd Reeves for making the arrangements. Bon voyage!
