Monaco Yacht Show 2014 Preview

Superyacht Monaco preview

monaco show preview The must-see moments at this year’s Monaco Yacht Show, running from September 24 to 27

This year’s Monaco Yacht Show is bigger and better than ever, with expanded dock areas for the superyacht and, of course, the extraordinary new Yacht Club de Monaco proudly surveying the harbour (see our news story on page 114).

Once again, we are very pleased to bring you our Monaco Show Preview in partnership with bespoke furniture-maker Linley. You can catch up with Linley at the show on the company’s stand in the Darse

10

Nord tent at QD2, and for a look at the magnificent Linley Quantum Screen in our Ultimate Design section, starting on page 92.

You’ll find SuperYacht World in the Darse Sud tent at QS85 – stop by if you’re passing. There are scores of new yachts to see, and a host of new concepts, but the real joy of the Monaco show is bumping into the many owners who have become our friends over the past few years.

monaco top show debuts We’ve selected 20 of the great new yachts to see at the show this year. Your shortlist starts here!

Riva 122 Mythos Riva L04

Why is she so special? The allaluminium Mythos is the biggest Riva ever built, and the ‘regal silver’ paint scheme, accented by black features, makes for a startling sight on the water.

Potential owners should think about acquiring a classic Riva Aquarama as the perfect chase boat.

Look out for The full-beam owner’s suite below, with a central island unit that hosts a 46in TV. This example of the Mythos is particularly spacious below as the owner specified only two other guest doubles. Four and five guest cabin versions are available.

14

Mediterranean. The calming interior is

by Sallyanne Holmes of Holmes Interiors, while there is a huge beach club to keep guests happy outside.

Look out for The main deck, with two VIP suites amidships and the owner’s suite forward. The guest suites, with

Feadship T Central T31 Why is she so special? Launched in the New Year for owner Sir Neville Crichton, the 46-metre Como is styled by Dubois Naval Architects, has a Redman Whiteley Dixon interior, with an owner’s suite and four guest cabins. The wheelhouse is recessed into the main deck, producing a streamlined profile.

She’s the second Prince Shark 49M, designed inside and out by Enrico Gobbi of Team For Design. She looks full of characterful features, like the raised foredeck area, offering a huge sunlounging space and a

farfalla Southern Wind Shipyard TBC Why is she so special? Launched in June, Farfalla is the third hull in Southern Wind’s 102 series and the first one with the ‘RS’ designation for ‘raised salon’.

She has been built for a very passionate owner, who will alternate personal cruising with chartering (she joins the charter market in September). As we went to press, the yacht was on her 7,000-mile maiden voyage from Cape Town to the Mediterranean. The owner’s cabin is forward and there are three other guest suites.

Why is she so special? The 270˚ panoramic windows around the main salon, opening up the Nauta Yacht Design interior.

Admiral Maxima 47 Italian Sea Group T Central T33

Why is she so special? The typically engaging Luca Dini exterior gives this tri-deck steel and aluminium displacement yacht a sense of grace along with a muscular appearance on the water. The yacht has been specced for long-range cruising, with a range of 6,000 miles.

Look out for The amazing exterior spaces, including the vast raised foredeck sunbathing area. Inside, the yacht benefits from Admiral Centro Stile’s work on the lighting design, which makes use of the natural light that floods in through the large windows.

mangusta 165

Overmarine Group Quai de l’Hirondelle

Why is she so special? The eighth in this hugely popular series, and a real beast – the 50-metre yacht delivers a 38-knot top speed. The owner specified four cabins below rather than the standard six, creating plenty of room below.

Look out for The dramatic exterior profile. The owner of this 165 wanted even more aggressive and muscular lines, so the Overmarine Group’s design department specced a new side window on the main deck – a large single panel of glass in the salon that offers excellent visibility from inside and allows copious amounts of natural light in, as well as creating an impressive sight on the water.

See her at T Central T30 Contact www.admiralyachts.it

The owner’s brief for the 48-metre Royal Huisman Wisp was for a boat that would perform well without excessive heel – the Hoek-designed hull is seakindly and powerful. The interior is by Rhoades Young Design. See her at Quai Jarlan Contact www.royalhuisman.com

A key element inside is ARTWORKS from the owner’s collection

Saramour CRN TBC

Why is she so special? With exterior and interior styling by Francesco’s Paszkowski, CRN’s new 61-metre is a clean-lined and striking yacht. Inside, a key element is the use of artworks from the owner’s collection – from modernist paintings in the main salon to sculpted figurines recessed into the owner’s study. The yacht’s AV and domestic systems (curtains, air-con and lights)

have been specified from Videoworks, and can be guest controlled by iPad. Look out for Saramour’s dedicated owner’s deck. The suite forward offers excellent views, and opens onto a private deck area with a square pool.

Perini Navi T Central Why is she so special? The biggest of Perini Navi’s Picchiotti explorers launched so far. The exterior is by Philippe Briand, while the interior is by Rémi Tessier. Twin diesel-electric Azimuth stern pods makes her the perfect yacht for efficient long-range cruising, though there are plenty of creature comforts, too, including a main deck lap-pool.

The second yacht in Sunrise’s steel and aluminium 45-metre series is set to launch as we went to press, with the name yet to be revealed (she’s currently called Project 182).

Given that Admiral is having a busy show with live exhibits this year (four in total), the Italian Sea Group could be forgiven for concentrating just on the present, but this amazing 145-metre concept proves the yard has one eye on the future. The design is by Dobroserdov with input from Admiral Centro Stile.

wajer osprey 38 Stand TS4

Wajer & Wajer new flagship tender is the 11,3-metre Osprey 38. A development of the 37, the Vripack-designed tender’s cockpit has had a thorough makeover, with a 15in LED monitor on the dashboard that is easy for the driver to read, even in bright sunshine. The area is finished in leather and matt-black anodised aluminium, while the captain’s chair and both seats feature adjustable gas pressure springs and dampers. The three-person sundeck is another new element, though the boat is customisable. The Volvo engines with joystick-controlled IPS drives deliver over 40 knots. Prices start at €575,000.

Bellagio Stand QD62

The 16-metre Vripack design Bellagio was launched by Mulder earlier this year and won’t be at Monaco, but you can find out all about the project on Vripack’s stand. The aluminium day cruiser has very sporty lines, with the eye-catching wheelhouse roof adding an elegant touch (the windows open and the roof lifts). Below, the boat has the option of a two or three-cabin layout.

The area forward sundeck looks a good spot to be under way for a true wind-in-the-hair experience. Equipped with Zeus drives and a Skyhook system for perfect positioning, the boat reaches over 35 knots.
