Royal Huisman Antares
Royal Huisman worked with naval architects at Dixon Yacht
Design and interior designer Dick Young on this 40-meter ketch to produce a
powerful yacht that is driven easily under sail or when motoring. Antares
pushes "fully custom" to a whole new level of sophistication and automation with
electronic conveniences like an adjustable helm and pop-up mooring cleats that
can be hidden away. Antares’ clean and simple feel is a reminder that
this yacht was built primarily for sailing and enjoying time with friends. The
modern-style interior references the 1930s with an uncluttered appearance that
is a rich palette of textured leather and French walnut. As specified in the
owner’s design brief, she is MCA and Lloyd’s certified. www.royalhuisman.com

CNL Admiral 35
 Hull No. 112 from Cantieri Navali Lavagna’s Admiral line launched in May. She
is one of two innovative new planing yachts to come from Admiral. The 35-meter’s
Luca Dini-designed exterior displays a midnight blue hull, silver
superstructure, aft-deck garage and upper-foredeck gym. Occupying the space
generally reserved for Jet Skis, the gym is roofed with a carbon-steel canopy
that can be elevated up to three meters, enabling those aboard to exercise in
the open air. Inside, Luca Dini gave the 124-ton yacht a classic, elegant wood
interior in durmast and wengé. The main-deck owner’s stateroom has a marble bath
and sauna; eight additional guests are housed in four cabins on the lower deck.
The 35’s light aluminum alloy construction helps her achieve a top speed of 30
knots with a set of 2,775-hp MTU M90 diesels. www.admiralyacht.eu (Click image to enlarge)Hotchya Gaja
 Gaja’s appearance in Monaco marks her first official
close-up. This long-range, ocean-going yacht was designed to surpass all others
in her class. Newcruise Yacht Projects sleekly styled an exterior for the
115-footer that is well complemented by her timeless Metrica interior. Guests
aboard Gaja will enjoy her expansive sun deck, complete with circular
Jacuzzi and dual sunning areas. The owner’s stateroom with adjoining
library-cum-office is located forward on the divided main deck. Moving aft, the
main deck centers on a dining area that is surrounded on three sides by sliding
glass doors. Two ensuite VIPs and a third cabin with two floor-level berths
accommodate guests on the lower deck. Her two Caterpillar 3406E engines propel
her to a top speed of 16 knots. www.hotchya.ru (Click image to enlarge)

Pershing 115
Designated the Pershing flagship, this 115-footer encapsulates
all the elements that distinguish the builder’s line. Visitors will immediately
notice the sleek, sinuous curves given to her by designer Fulvio De Simoni. A
new sun deck offers a private retreat. The accommodations include four ensuite
guest cabins consisting of a full-beam master suite, two guest staterooms and a
VIP stateroom in the bow, as well as three cabins for crew. The 115 comes with
two MTUs, which when combined with the two KaMeWa Rolls-Royce waterjet drives,
can achieve a top speed of 41 knots. A second version is available with a
5,100-hp Textron Lycoming turbine that boosts the top speed to an impressive 52
knots. www.pershing-yacht.com

Riva 115 Athena
Riva will have delivered five hulls of this 115-foot model by
the end of the year, which attests to the popularity of this semi-custom yacht.
The first hull, delivered in July 2005, is a masterpiece of Italian
craftsmanship and refinement that can accommodate up to 10 guests. High-quality
wood decks and walkways highlight the timeless style and attention to detail
that is a Riva trademark. Though the vessel’s overall design cannot be changed,
the owner may decide on the interior layout with the design help of Mauro
Micheli and Officina Italiana Design. Stunning 360-degree panorama views are
found in the flybridge’s skylounge that may be customized as an additional fifth
cabin. The flybridge also offers guests the chance to indulge in a relaxing
soak in the whirlpool Jacuzzi. Two MTU engines top out at 27 knots and deliver a
23-knot cruise. www.riva-yacht.com

Westport Miss Michelle
The Westport 112 is a testament to the vision that makes this
Washington state builder a leader in yacht manufacturing. Jack Sarin and Taylor
Olson teamed with Westport to give this sophisticated lady crisp, contemporary
styling balanced with timeless traditional appeal. The dining area allows for
formal meal service for eight. There are staterooms for an equal number of
guests. The almost-24-foot beam creates space for the large salon, which feels
roomier thanks to extensive windows that run along the sides. Her hull design
enables her to cruise at high speeds while taking advantage of a moderate draft.
A long list of premium standard features as well as an exceptional arrangement
and design make cruising with Miss Michelle at a brisk 22 knots an
unrivaled experience. www.westportyachts.comCyrus Yachts 33
 This year’s show features the second 33-meter yacht from
Turkish Cyrus Yachts, a division of Dutch Vitters Shipyard, continuing the line
that debuted with ShowBoats International Award nominee Angel of Joy in
2006. Designed and constructed by Piet van Oossanen and Vitters, the
semi-displacement composite yacht features "contemporary classical" styling
by René van der Velden. The yard’s furniture department provided all
furnishings. Cross-veneered anigré, wengé floorboards and leather details give
the interiors an open, relaxing atmosphere. Twin Caterpillar C32 engines power
Hull No. 2, which has a range of 3,100 nautical miles at 10
knots.
