The Monaco Yacht Show: There simply is no other like it in the
world. Nowhere on the planet will visitors find an assemblage of large yachts of
the caliber that fills the Principality’s Port Hercules each autumn. Nowhere
else can visitors attend a boat show in a venue as exclusive and visually
arresting as Monaco.
The show’s 17th installment, September 19 to 22,
will be no exception. Nearly a hundred yachts ranging in length from 25 meters
to 90 meters and from shipyards the world over are expected to attend. Among the
significant yachts anticipated this year are oceAnco’s new launch, the 82-meter
Y702, and last year’s star of the show, the 88-meter The Maltese
Falcon. More than 500 exhibitors from 38 countries will exhibit their
products and services in the elegant stands along Monaco’s Quai des
États-Unis.

The show will serve as venue and benefactor for several charitable endeavors.
A percentage of the gate and proceeds from a glittering watch auction will
go to the Monaco Association Against Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy. Duchenne
Muscular Dystrophy is a disease that afflicts children. Another auction will
take place in the Oceanographic Museum of Monaco under the presence of HSH
Prince Albert II to raise funds for the worldwide association Conservation
International, which seeks to protect global biodiversity. As it did last year,
the show will work jointly with Camper & Nicholsons International to
fund projects that limit and compensate for toxic gas emissions that lead to
global warming. Visit www.monacoyachtshow.com. OceAnco Y702
 Y702 is the newest star in oceAnco’s fleet. The 82-meter’s
design by Nuvolari-Lenard features a long, low stern and onboard beach club with
pool. A glass-enclosed elevator surrounded by an amidships spiral staircase
serves the lower deck up to the skylounge. Up top, a rounded glass veranda with
a panoramic view acts as a family-style dining area. A formal, private dining
area located portside also serves as a meeting room and offers clear views of
the sea. The forward, upper-deck owner’s suite features an above-the-sea terrace
with an enclosed Jacuzzi. She accommodates 10 guests in two VIPs, two doubles
and one twin. Inside, Alberto Pinto adds a timeless dimension through the use of traditional materials such as hardwoods, leather, fabric and elegant metals.

Lürssen Kismet
Delivered in January, the 68-meter Kismet first cruised
the Caribbean before making her way to the Med for her public debut in Monaco.
This impressive steel-and-aluminum yacht built by Lürssen Yachts and
designed by Espen Øino has six decks that are each exquisite in finish. Reymond Langton designed a contemporary-classical interior with art deco
elements that is uniform throughout. There is space aboard for 12 guests and
18 crewmembers. With a displacement of just more than 1,600 tons, she reaches a
top speed of 15.5 knots with a pair of 3512B Caterpillar diesels. www.lurssen.com

CRN GiVi
One of the boats the Ferretti Group’s CRN will show in Monaco
(see Emerald Star on page 76) is this yacht designed for comfortable
onboard living and extended cruising. Built in Ancona and designed by Zuccon
International in collaboration with CRN’s in-house engineering team, the
60-meter hosts 12 passengers and 20 crew. Aboard GiVi’s four decks, all
crew and service areas reside below, while the main deck is the exclusive domain
of the owner and guests. The upper deck is set aside for daytime activities.
GiVi’s enormous sun deck features a bar, spa and covered lunch zone. Two
3516B Cats power her to a 16.5-knot top speed. Her range of more than 10,000
nautical miles when cruising at 11 knots enables her to cross the Atlantic and
back on one tank of fuel. www.crn-yacht.com Perini Navi Selene
 One of two Perini ketches to visit Monaco this year (see
Tamsen on page 76), Selene is the ultimate evolution of the yard’s
56-meter series. Perini worked with Ron Holland to optimize Selene’s
sailing performance. She features an innovative transom that hydraulically opens
to reveal a structural staircase leading down to a swim platform; coupled with
an additional swim platform portside, it provides guests plenty of access to the
sea. A lateral crew corridor on the main deck and sliding doors separating the
salon, bar and dining areas ensure guest privacy. Accommodations include a
full-beam owner’s suite and four doubles. When the wind isn’t filling her nearly
1,500 square meters of sails, Selene motors at more than 15 knots on two
Cat C32s. www.perininavi.it (Click image to enlarge)
