52’ Rivale Palm Beach
POST A COMMENT 
52’ Rivale Palm Beach (special edition for US)
Of all the members of the Riva family, this is the yacht whose character, as its name suggests, is the most strong and heroic. Indeed, the Rivale’s refined wood and quality textiles give its unique, sharp lines a welcoming feel. The interior design features large cabins, a comfortable dining-area and a cockpit which satisfies all demands for outdoor living, as well as one of the largest garages (which stores a 3.2 meter tender) in its category.
For 2009, Riva has created a version of the boat dedicated specifically to the American market, using special materials and colors elegantly fused into an even more precious example of the Rivale, whose name refers to one of the most exclusive American beach locations: Palm Beach.
The Rivale Palm Beach was created as the ultimate answer to the desires of the American owner: a boat offering plenty of style and elegance without sacrificing comfort. The boat’s deck and hull, in brand-new desert sand, are very special in this version thanks to the Roman bronze details on the dashboard and on the signal mast. This unique design evokes the image of a shark’s flipper. Inside the cabins, the walls and furniture are made of luminous elm, embellished with topstitched natural-color leather, which produces a chromatic opposition of soft and dark against the Roman Bronze lacquering.
This unrivaled yacht is the clear choice for owners who wish to enjoy living an adventurous life at sea in utter comfort and privacy, taking full advantage of the craft’s signature reliability and usability. The Rivale sustains the Riva yacht philosophy: personality, style, elegance and constant innovation. The size of the yacht permits the owner to man and enjoy his craft firsthand, granting also enough space for two more guest cabins equipped with twin beds and a day head in addition to the master cabin, located at the bow with an en suite bathroom.
The Rivale is equipped with two 1100-horsepower Man engines, and gives an exceptionally spirited performance: a top speed of 40 knots and an autonomy of 260 miles at cruising speed (in the 1100 horsepower version).

This yacht is furnished with 1 master cabin, 1 VIP room all with en-suite bathrooms in addition to a 1 twin-bedded guest cabin and an independent crew cabin.
The performance, powered by twin MAN 1550 hp Common Rail engines, brings the boat to a cruising speed of 34 knots and top speed of 38 knots, with inimitable comfort and a 260 mile range at cruising speed.
75’ Venere Newport Collection (special edition for US)
POST A COMMENT 
The waves of the ocean seem to have been made especially to lap at the sides of the Venere’s hull. This soft and lovely model is a true Venus. This special-edition of 75’ Venere Newport Collection is in a canaletto-walnut hue designed exclusively for the American market, featuring a range of innovative design solutions, from the vast windows in the cabins on the lower deck, to the stern opening out onto a spacious swim platform that is ideal for sunbathing or practicing water sports.
The new Riva flybridge, designed for maximum space and comfort, features a luxurious six-seater sofa as well as an awning that opens using a high-tech electro-hydraulic system. The gracefully curved windscreen, made of grey metal and anthracite-colored fiberglass, shades the sundeck and provides passengers with excellent wind protection. The innovative interior design features a striking tri-color layout, with canaletto walnut walls and furniture, classic Riva cream lacquering, and dark brown leather inserts, creating a warm, cozy atmosphere.
The lower deck’s expansive main cabin, which spans the yacht’s width, has a study area, vanity unit with foldaway pouf, 30” LCD television monitor, and elegant walk-in wardrobe. Each cabin has direct access to an en-suite bathroom.
The utmost care has been taken over these “mini-suites” and the result is a first-class yacht, 23 meters of indisputable style and a masterpiece of modern design and luxury.
Driven by two MTU ten cylinder 1524 Mhp engines, the goddess of the Riva Olympus offers excellent standards and a high performance, reaching a top speed of 32 knots and a range of 300 miles at cruising speed.
More aggressive than that of any other fly, the Riva 75’ Venere features a modern line, thus appealing to a younger clientele, while still confirming the traditional, timeless beauty of all Riva yachts.

The Oculus Superyacht
POST A COMMENT
Oculus is the first “design launch” of Schöpfer Yachts LLC. This 250-foot vessel was designed by E. Kevin Schöpfer, founder and owner of his namesake company. Designed to accommodate 12 guests in extraordinary comfort and style, Oculus is a long distance cruising yacht capable of speeds upwards of 25 knots.
The exterior styling is representative of the jaw and eye socket bone structure of large oceanic fish and mammals. Featuring a dramatic reverse bow configuration, the yacht’s armature balances an elegant expression of symmetry and structure.
In addition to the bow, Oculus also features a “low rider profile”. This slightly lowered surface allows for new side recreational areas, alternate dockage access and light cruising openness. Lateral retractable side panels close this area when heavier wave action is indicated.
The interior features of Oculus focus on a 12 foot high ceiling in the main salon, a cylindrical double height dining room, central stair and elevator tube, and seemingly anatomical ceiling and floor lighting extensions giving definition to the seating areas.
The second level is the dedicated Owner’s suite. Living areas and bedchambers are divided by a series of four freestanding tubes, which house bath and storage necessities.
In addition to the main common stair, the second Owner’s stair connects to the third level aft private salon and deck / water feature.
The third level also contains the forward pilothouse and separate captain’s quarters. The generous open decks with separate water features are located forward and aft for convenient guest use. Specifications and plans are in the final stages of completion and will be posted at a later time.Labels: The Oculus Superyacht, Yacht

Gentry Eagle Yacht To Be Redesigned By Thierry Mugler
POST A COMMENT 
The Gentry Eagle will be reborn through the vision and tremendous creativity of internationally acclaimed fashion and perfume designer, Thierry Mugler. The first to come in the Weyves Couture collection of yachts designed and signed by top fashion designers in the industry: high fashion meets the high seas.
With the Gentry Eagle, the world’s fastest yacht, as his canvas, Mugler will bring to life his creative visions alongside Weyves Yachts interior designer Eva Cadio to design the quintessential bespoke yacht.
Presently on the market for sale through Weyves Yachts, its exclusive broker, the yacht’s fusion of speed and power with absolute opulence will make this vessel a truly unique possession for any owner to have in their fleet and one of the most highly desirable vessels to exist on the seas.
The Gentry Eagle was engineered and built by racing legend Tom Gentry who went on to set nearly every powerboat speed record. This monumental vessel shattered the transatlantic crossing record in 1989 completing the journey from Ambrose Lighthouse at the entrance to New York Harbour to Bishop Rock on England's Isles of Scilly 62 hours & 7 minutes. In his victory, Tom, along with Norman Gentry, took the Blue Ribbon away from the British airline and music tycoon Richard Branson of Virgin.
The vessel has an impressive 11,500 horsepower and a top speed of 73 mph. She measures 112' in length and is fitted with twin 3,480 horsepower MTU turbo diesels coupled with a 4,500 horsepower turbine combined to propel her to over 63 knots (70+ mph).

Cantieri di Pisa Akhir 135
POST A COMMENT 
superyachttimes.com interviews Luciano Scaramuccia, CEO of Cantieri di Pisa and Cantieri Navali Baglietto boatyards, and architect Carlo Galeazz about the new Cantieri di Pisa Akhir 135
"The new Akhir 135' is undoubtedly a real sign of the renewed strategies we have just undertaken and which will make the new 153' the company's flagship":
"What we are particularly pleased about, and that we believe strongly in", he continued, "is that the new models are all Akhir, they are all boats with that special family feeling, that will all be immediately recognizable but which, together with the values of our tradition, will all have some very new features, innovative solutions, like the focus on light, the use of internal and external space and the attention paid to the people on board and socializing".
"When I was asked to design these new boats", said Carlo Galeazzi, architect, "I was very pleased, even though I felt the weight of the responsibility in putting my hands to something that had been created by someone I tended to consider a bit like a master, if not an icon:Pierluigi Spadolini. "
"Thanks to the addition of two central recesses, above and below the dark band around the portholes, we have managed to obtain a two pronged objective: not to spoil but to conserve the horizontal, sleek line that is so typical of Akhir boats and, at the same time, to let in a lot of light below deck".
"The internal spaces are still one of the yard's strengths; "the yard can boast a system to sandblast the teak that no other yard in the world uses", said Luciano Scaramuccia ,"a system that is often used and well exploited by the designers of the various boat owners that come to us"Labels: Cantieri di Pisa Akhir 135, Luxury, Motoring, Travel, Yacht
