 San Marino 88
San Marino Custom Yachts teamed with United Ship Design and
Development Center of Taiwan to create its 88-foot raised pilothouse. Boasting a
remarkable 21-foot widebody design, every inch is utilized to make the 88 seem
much larger than she really is, while allowing passengers a ride as smooth as
that of a yacht twice as big. The impressive, full-beam salon offers generous
seating areas to port and starboard. An enormous, open-air flybridge is equipped
with a barbecue, spa bath and vast sunbathing area. Guests are accommodated in a
full-beam master and queen VIP as well as the optional addition of one or two
twin/queen guest staterooms. Her two Caterpillar C32 engines reach 28 knots and
cruise at 25. www.sanmarinoyachts.com (Click image to enlarge) Warren S87
While Europe may set the standards for sport in the automotive
world, Australia’s Warren Yachts is a definite contender in the nautical realm.
From her MTU or MAN power plants to her sleek exterior lines from Dave Warren,
the S87 is truly a sport yacht. Wind and noise are minimized when sitting under
her enormous main-deck sunroof, allowing guests to enjoy the open space that
integrates the galley, dining area and salon. Intelligent space planning within
the 19-foot beam and 72-foot waterline gives this 87-footer a choice of three or
four cabins. Contrasting the striking lines that define her exterior, a flared
elegance from designer Anthony Starr tames her interior. A tight helm and low
center of gravity make turns more pleasurable the sharper they get.

Custom Line Navetta 26
Coming in at just 86 feet, the new Navetta 26 from Ferretti’s
Custom Line has loftier goals than her LOA may suggest. Sliding glass walls on
the upper deck open to let the indoor and outdoor lounge areas flow into each
other. The expansive windows that run along her sides allow the guest cabins
breathing room, while an optional lower-deck layout keeps the third suite a
spacious double rather than two separate singles. A unique anti-rolling gyro
system is also standard, providing the added stability that suggests to those on
board that the Navetta 26 really is bigger than she appears. Standard twin MAN
8V900 power plants peak at 14.5 knots, while opting for upgraded 10V1100s pushes
her close to a 16-knot top end and a 13-knot cruise.

Horizon 86 Xanadu
With a name borrowed from Samuel Taylor Coleridge’s Kubla
Kahn, this 86-foot Horizon motor yacht has a tall, enclosed bridge that hits
the mark as a "stately pleasure dome." Xanadu was specially designed for
her owners to make space for the addition of an ensuite bath for their
granddaughter. A custom extension of the standard Horizon 82 hull gives
Xanadu an extended swim step and lengthened the guest rooms, all of which
are now ensuite. The owners personally selected the various woods and stones
used throughout, aided by interior designer Dawn Moffitt. Throughout her
interior, ebony wood nicely contrasts with makoré, cherry and maple to give
Xanadu a cozy yet contemporary look. Her Cat C30 engines put out a top
speed of 23 knots. www.horizonyacht.com

Pacific Mariner 85
Westport’s Pacific Mariner 85-foot raised pilothouse series is
designed with freedom in mind. The yard, with the help of William Garden and
Gregory C. Marshall, created a boat that on all levels allows for maximum
cruising enjoyment with minimum worry. Its true pilothouse arrangement positions
upper and lower helm stations on centerline for exceptional visibility. A full
arsenal of features comes standard, from two generators all the way down to dock
lines and fenders. Integration of the entire topside makes for a more stable and
rigid structure. Four dining areas and four ensuite staterooms that comfortably
sleep eight make this yacht perfect for family cruising. The 85 is powered by
two 10V2000 MTUs that cruise smoothly at 24 knots.

Moonen Etoile d’Azur
Etoile d’Azur, delivered in March, is the seventh hull in
the successful Moonen 84 series. Designed by René van der Velden with naval
architecture by Stolk Marimecs, the 84-foot steel and aluminum motor yacht was
built for a client who wanted to move up from his previous 68-footer. Providing
the perfect blend of range, aesthetics and comfort, she comes equipped with
double-bottom tanks for safety. Her interior, designed by the team at Artline,
distinguishes the 84 from the series and, as her name suggests, tastefully
disperses blue tones throughout. The super-fast PWC mounted on her flybridge
serves as a visible reminder of her owner’s enthusiasm for Formula 1 racing.
Twin Cat C18s produce a maximum speed of 12.5 knots and afford a 2,800-nm range.
www.moonen.comRoyal Denship 82 Open
 Jointly shown by the Berton Group and Royal Denship, the
spring-launched 82 Open marks the entry-level yacht to the Danish yard’s new
range of composite vessels by Bill Dixon. Resin infusion and advanced
construction techniques make the 82-footer very fast, but with a wide 21-foot
beam and shallow four-foot draft, this high-performance vessel does not
compromise comfort or convenience. Custom deck plans accommodate 10 in an
owner’s suite, a VIP and up to four staterooms. The deck salon, one of two on
board, is covered by a sliding sunroof so that guests may sit outside yet still
enjoy interior comforts. High-quality custom finishes can be tailored to each
owner’s taste. Twin 16V2000 MTUs top out at 50 knots. www.bertonyachts.com,
