 Hakvoort Perle Bleue
Plenty of experience went into the creation of Hakvoort’s
recently finished, 125-foot Perle Bleue. Her owners, knowing exactly what
they wanted in their second Hakvoort, made outdoor space a priority, as is
evidenced by the vast amounts of deck space. Up top, a sun deck features a bar,
Jacuzzi and sun pads. The bridge deck is home to another bar, lounge and dining
area, while the main deck houses the main salon. All this, however, is not to
say that this pearl of a yacht’s indoor spaces want for style. Her Donald
Starkey-designed, wood-paneled interior includes a full-beam master’s suite,
guest accommodations for eight, and generous room for the captain and crew.
Naval architecture by Diana Yacht Design meets Lloyd’s and MCA regulations.

Sunseeker 37
Sunseeker’s first foray into superyacht territory may well be
characterized by its initial effort, the 37 Tri-deck, the first in a new
semi-custom range. Housed within the 121-footer’s futuristic walls is a homey
main deck, with an open floor plan from the lounge area all the way to the
galley. The upper salon houses more of the amusements, including a bar and TV
center, and is followed by a spacious sun deck. Designed with chartering in
mind, the 37’s accommodations layout is fairly flexible, giving the option of
two twins and two doubles or two twins and an aft lower-deck master. Options
extend to additional stabilizers for long-distance cruising and three engine
choices, the most powerful of which drive the 37 to a top speed of 23 knots.

Broward 120
The birth of Broward’s new 120-foot widebody motor yacht
simultaneously occurred with the rebirth of the company itself. Tom Lewis
purchased the company after it fell on hard times following its sale by the
founding family. Now Lewis is extending his real estate experience to guide a
new line of Browards—and they are selling fast. Designed in collaboration with
Evan K. Marshall, the 120 avoids cramming too much onto her decks; instead, her
simple yet elegant interior boasts a full-beam master suite and four roomy guest
rooms. Lewis also allotted plenty of space forward for crew. The raised
pilothouse, filled with the latest state-of-the-art technology, is followed by a
lounge area and hot tub. Twin 16V2000 MTUs power her to speeds up to 23 knots.

Westport Gale Winds
Shown by Bartram & Brakenhoff, the 112-foot Gale
Winds is both a middle child in Westport’s WP series and a production
model—two seemingly mediocre factors, if it weren’t for her builder’s earned
reputation for creating exceptional yachts. With naval architecture by Jack
Sarin and exterior styling by Taylor Olson and Westport, both the interior and
the exterior of this raised pilothouse motor yacht display a timeless
sophistication. Her spacious, nearly 24-foot beam, flybridge, aft deck and grand
salon offer plenty of areas for guests to relax. Four staterooms including a
full-beam owner’s suite, a gorgeous VIP and two guest cabins comfortably sleep
eight. Gale Winds has a generous top speed of 26 knots provided by two
MTU 16V2000s. www.bartbrak.com, www.westportyachts.com
 Inace Sudami
Inace of Fortaleza, Brazil, formed in the 1960s and since has
grown into one of the country’s premier yachtbuilders. Making its first U.S.
delivery in 1987, the yard now has a history of building high-quality yachts for
overseas clients. Continuing this tradition, Inace recently finished
construction of the 111-foot Sudami, designed by Michael Kirschstein with
architecture by Marcio Igreja. A rugged steel hull, 4,500-nm range and optimal
sea views from the master suite reveal the expedition motor yacht at her core,
while her quiet, modern interior provides all the amenities needed to keep those
on board happy and comfortable. Her spacious engine room gives her crew of six
plenty of elbowroom to work as she cruises along at 12 knots on her two Cat
3406s. www.inace.com.br (Click image to enlarge)

Kingship Princess K
The first hull in Kingship Marine’s new 110-foot Magellan ocean
explorer series, Princess K, features European quality without the pricey
tag. Built for Kingship’s owner, Roger Liang, to serve as the Chinese yard’s
ambassador to the megayacht arena, the vessel’s architecture and design from
Vripack International and Pieter Beeldsnijder combine functional interior spaces
with maximum visibility and seaworthiness. A monochromatic interior by Luiz de
Basto gives a soothing feel to the full-beam master on the main deck and the
four guest cabins below. Curved glass basins, innovative wall coverings and
brilliantly colored LEDs adorn her heads. Twin Cat 3406E DITAs push this stately
princess to a top speed of 14 knots and give her a lofty 4,500-nm range.
