164' (50 m) Hakvoort
JeMaSa
The largest yacht by volume ever built at Hakvoort in Holland,
JeMaSa is full of ingenious touches. One of the most
seductive is the circular lounge located forward on the bridge deck that serves
as an open-air cinema or converts to a berth under the stars. The yacht’s
helipad is specially reinforced to store her owner’s chopper. Diana Yacht Design
handled JeMaSa’s
naval architecture, while
superyacht expert Espen Oeino designed her exterior. The interior, which is
equally suited to private family cruising and luxury charters, was jointly
created by Oeino, Michela Reverberi and Barbara Barry. Accommodations for 12
include an owner’s suite and two extra-large VIP staterooms. www.hakvoort.com (Click image to enlarge)

Westport Vango
The launch of Westport’s new 50-meter flagship marked a
significant technological advance for the Washington shipyard. Built of
composite for high strength and light weight, she is ABS certified and MCA
compliant. Westport’s in-house design team collaborated with noted designer
Donald Starkey and naval architect Bill Garden—known for his rugged yet handsome
Pacific Northwest–styled yachts—on the project. In addition to a full-beam
master suite and four large staterooms, she has an innovative VIP suite on the
bridge deck. Like the rest of the Westport line, the 50-meter series is produced
on a semi-production basis. Each yacht takes just two years to build.

Swedeship/Hakvoort
Braveheart
After serving as a popular luxury charter vessel in Europe for
several seasons, Braveheart
makes her way to the United
States to be presented at the boat show by International Yacht Collection.
Graced by long, lean, traditional lines, she was launched in 1989 and has
undergone a $2 million refit over the past two years. Large windows that look
out on the ever-changing sea line her main deck and skylounge. Five guest
staterooms with queen beds allow her owner to give 10 guests equivalent
accommodations, while the master suite, with its lavish bath, is fit for a king.

 161' (49 m) Trinity
Lohengrin
Strikingly contemporary in her styling, Lohengrin shows off the versatility of Louisiana
shipyard Trinity’s in-house naval architecture team. The aluminum-hulled motor
yacht, called Wheels while she was in
build, benefits from previous Trinity design innovations while making her own
unique statement. Like 161-foot Trinity Zoom Zoom Zoom,
launched last year, Lohengrin has a
split-level owner’s stateroom on the main deck with windows that provide
180-degree views from the bed. Scott Carpenter’s interior design for the yacht
features a formal dining salon that is closed off for maximum privacy. Quantum
active-fin stabilizers with three-axis digital control and ZeroSpeed make her
rock-steady in the water. www.trinityyachts.com (Click image to enlarge)

Bloemsma & Van Breemen
Flying
Eagle
Dutch-built Flying
Eagle is presented at the Fort
Lauderdale International Boat Show by Camper & Nicholsons International.
Launched in 2005 by the Bloemsma & van Breemen shipyard, this elegant
motor yacht was designed by Britain firm Reymond Langton. Her exquisite interior
décor features handcrafted joinery by Struik & Hamerslag in Cuban crown-cut
mahogany and sycamore. Artwork from the owner’s personal collection,
including a piece by William Morris in the main salon and Dale Chihuly
glasswork scattered throughout the yacht, creates the atmosphere of a
private gallery. The spiral staircase connecting all decks, topped by a
skylight, forms Flying
Eagle’s dramatic focal point. www.cniconnect.com (Click image to enlarge)
