67 Marine Showcase

MARINE SHOWCASE

This year’s Sanctuary Cove International Boat Show is gearing up to be one of the biggest in recent history.

FEATURING HUNDREDS of boats and marine products – and with more than 45,000 visitors and 330 exhibitors across four action-packed days – Sanctuary Cove International Boat Show (SCIBS) is a truly stunning showcase of Australian and international brands.

SCIBS General Manager Johan Hasser said the quality and stature of this year’s Show, which will run from 20 – 23 May, is exceptional.

“There’s no doubt that 2021 is shaping up to be one of our biggest Shows, not only in terms of the sheer number of boats and the quality of exhibitors we continue to attract, but also when looking at the expanded footprint and the number of visitors expected through the gates,” he says.

Celebrating its 32nd edition, the event will host on-water displays from brands such as Maritimo, Horizon Yacht, Palm Beach Motor Yachts, Riviera, Sunseeker, Princess Yachts, Integrity Motor Yachts, Whitehaven Motor Yachts, Ocean Alexander, Fleming, Lagoon, Grand Banks, Azimut, Jeanneau, Leopard and Prestige Yachts.

“To have a significant congregation of the world’s leading brands together at SCIBS is a great vote of confidence for the industry and we know visitors will be impressed by the quality and diversity of boats on display across every category,” Johan says.

Major marques will feel right at home in the world-class Sanctuary Cove Marina, which recently underwent a $10 million redevelopment including the addition of a superyacht arm.

It has been awarded Platinum Gold Anchor accreditation by the Marina Industries Association (MIA), making it one of only eight marinas worldwide to be recognised with such status.

Visitors can expect to see an exceptional line-up of multi-million-dollar superyachts following the Federal Government’s announcement of quarantine-free access for vessels and passengers travelling from New Zealand.

Local experts in design and luxury, Maritimo, has announced that the brand will host the worldwide launches of two spectacular new motor yachts – the M55 and the S55 – at SCIBS.

Maritimo S55

Horizon FD87

“We are extremely excited to be globally launching two groundbreaking new vessels, combined with our other M-Series and X-Series models,” said Maritimo’s Director of Design Tom Barry-Cotter.

“After a virtual launch in 2020, the new M55 Flybridge is set to be the most anticipated global launch for Maritimo to date.

“Guests at the Show will be among the first to step aboard the long awaited sensational new flybridge motor yacht.”

Luxury yacht builder Horizon is also offering an impressive showcase this year, with plans to officially unveil the Horizon FD87 Skyline at the Show.

“The model, which is one of the most popular Horizon models to date, is a special edition Cor D Rover Design,” says Horizon Yacht Australia’s Director Mark Western

“At an overall length of 90’ and a 23’ 3” beam, the enclosed sky lounge features an on-deck master stateroom, High Performance Piercing bow and hull design, tremendous interior volume, helipad on the roof and heated jacuzzi on the bow.

“The team is excited to showcase our quality products and to catch up with our customers on a business and personal level.

“We often have interstate clients popping in to see us at big events like SCIBS, so it's a great opportunity for us to catch up with them and share the latest updates from Horizon.”

Palm Beach Motor Yachts will debut the impressive GT60, which will become the new flagship model of the brand’s modern sports line-up.

“As well as launching the GT60, Grand Banks Yachts will be bringing the GB60 long-distance cruiser to SCIBS, showcasing the most fuelefficient model in its class, capable of speeds in the mid-thirties and a cruising range of around 2,000 nautical miles at 10 knots,” said Palm Beach Motor Yachts’ Creative Director Joel Butler.

“The camaraderie and competition in the Australian marine industry is first class, and we love showing off our new designs and innovations, just as much as learning about what others in the industry are doing.”

In line with this year’s premium showcase, SCIBS will also be offering a range of new VIP experiences tailored to exhibitors and visitors who may be interested in exploring the boating lifestyle in lavish luxury.

THE MARK OF ENDURANCE

This Hampton Endurance 750 is build number 25 by Leigh-Smith Yachts.

THE SURE-FOOTED broad-shouldered Endurance 750, based on the traditional trawler, is a proven design developed to work in various conditions.

The owner of the latest launched E750 is from the Apple Isle.

As a long-time owner of an Endurance 650 Pilothouse, he had a lot of input into the build, blending everything he loved about the E650 with his ambitions on the E750.

Working closely with Dean from LeighSmith Yachts, the project evolved into his ideal package.

Travel limitations of 2020 that came along mid-build ended up streamlining the construction and delivery process.

Leigh-Smith Yacht's marine consultants and surveyors guided the build process weekly, and sometimes daily, through video conferencing.

While the Endurance 750 may look every bit like the traditional long-range cruiser in design, it's the class-leading size of the sky lounge and big ship thinking that set it apart.

Surrounded by the complete walk-around decks of the dual Portuguese bridges, this is no ordinary vessel.

Solid foundations, cloaked in kevlar armour and a high brow to meet the oncoming sea, look very reassuring to explore beyond the horizon.

This particular Endurance has an upgraded timber package with beautifully matched grains and impeccable craftsmanship skills on display.

The timberwork throughout the boat is an example of the builders flexing their skills.

There are masterful dovetail joins, intricate detail and flowing curves that only skilled craftspeople can achieve.

Triple 26-inch Garmin multifunction displays keep all monitoring, navigation, and engine management on hand, while the newly designed tender fuel storage system allows owners to carry, store and lift on board up to 300 litres of fuel without the back-breaking exercise of carrying it up to the flybridge.

Stepping inside the salon exudes elegance and comfort.

To port, quality leather covers the sumptuous lounge while large picture windows bring in the view.

Occasional chairs to starboard are either side of the saloon amenities centre, which also houses the same pop-up 55inch smart tv and pro audio as the sky lounge.

There is permanent dining table seating eight with a full-service bar opposite packed with all the equipment and counter space to operate while entertaining.

The fully equipped country kitchen is thoughtfully laid out with enough space to satisfy demanding chefs.

The bar, dining and galley triangle create a unique and interactive dynamic seamlessly flexing the space between entertaining and daily life aboard.

A well-crafted custom handrail leads down to the accommodation’s foyer with an inlaid marble floor.

Forward is the inviting, warm timber-lined VIP guest stateroom with a sumptuous island bed and a beautifully appointed ensuite bathroom.

The full-beam master stateroom with kingsized island bed has a beautiful lounge covered in the same exquisite leather found throughout the vessel.

It leads back to the desirable sized master bathroom with twin sinks.

On the port side, a desk/vanity gives plenty of space while the cedar-lined walk-in wardrobe has ample room for an extensive wardrobe.

The third cabin, with a queen bed and ensuite, is finished to the same high standard, while the fourth cabin allows the flexibility to house a crew or captain.

There's also a crew mess which houses the ship's laundry equipment.

The customisation options and how closely the team at Leigh-Smith Yachts work with every customer on every build is why so many owners return to build another majestic vessel bearing the trident, the mark of Endurance.
