130' (40
m) Westport 130
The 130 tri-deck motor-yacht series is a highly successful
staple of the Westport line. The model’s proven composite hull, stiffened with
Airex and PVC coring, was designed by naval architect William Garden to provide
a smooth ride in a seaway. The 130 is also noted for her whisper-quiet
operation. Gregory Marshall created the interior styling, which accommodates
up to 10 in a main-deck owner’s suite, two king-berth VIP staterooms and two
twin cabins. Her public rooms are spacious, and there are also plenty of
intimate seating areas, including the circular foredeck lounge. Twin MTU
12V4000s provide a top speed of 28 knots. www.westportyachts.com (Click image to enlarge) 124' (38 m)
Delta Casuarina
Since her launch at the Delta shipyard in Seattle in 1998,
Casuarina has made six transatlantic crossings on her
own bottom. The long-range composite motor yacht’s twin 1,450-hp Detroit Diesel
engines were recently rebuilt, and her interior was refurbished in 2004. Built
to provide casual yet thoroughly comfortable living afloat whether the
destination is Alaska or the Caribbean, Casuarina sleeps eight
in four staterooms, including a full-beam owner’s suite. Marble stonework in the
ensuite heads provides a touch of elegance. For the serious diver, a scuba
compressor is installed aboard. International Yacht Collection will present
Casuarina at the show. www.iyc.com (Click image to enlarge)
 123' (37.5 m) Palmer
Johnson Muse
The second hull launched in a new series of 123-foot
raised-pilothouse motor yachts, Muse is a composite
production boat that feels like a custom project. Wisconsin shipyard Palmer
Johnson teamed up with Italian design firm Nuvolari-Lenard to provide the best
of old-world style and new-world engineering in a single package. Her
interior features satin-finished joinery in walnut and sycamore, contrasted by
fine Rubelli fabrics in earth and sea tones. The engine room boasts high-quality
copper-nickel piping and superior sound insulation. When Muse is at anchor, guests migrate to the hydraulic transom bulwark that folds
down to form an inviting "beach" on the sea. www.palmerjohnson.com (Click image to enlarge)
120' (37 m) Benetti Classic
120
To design the new Classic 120 line of 37-meter composite motor
yachts, Benetti reunited the talented team that created its successful Classic
115 series—exterior designer Stefano Righini, interior guru François Zuretti and
the shipyard’s own technical staff—and gave them access to the feedback
accumulated from the 27 Classic owners to date. The new yacht updates and
enlarges the 115’s layout with several significant changes, including a
king-size berth facing panoramic windows in the owner’s suite, exterior wings
accessible from each side of the wheelhouse and a fold-down swim platform for
easier boarding. The Classic 120 also conforms to the latest MCA safety
regulations. www.benettiyachts.it (Click image to enlarge)

 120' (37 m) Broward 120
The rebirth of famous South Florida yachtbuilder Broward Marine is marked by
the world debut of the Broward 120 raised-pilothouse motor yacht at this year’s
boat show. Designed by London-based Evan K. Marshall in collaboration with the
new team at Broward, the 120 has a curved aluminum superstructure and a
semi-displacement hull projected to top out at 25 knots with twin 16V4000 MTUs.
An owner’s party of 10, served by six crew, is comfortably accommodated in her
spacious interior. Fine woodwork in a choice of cherry, maple or mahogany is
nicely complemented by marble stonework in the guest areas. The Broward 120 is
built to ABS A1 AMS certification standards. www.browardmarine.com (Click image to enlarge)
