Kismet
The 223-foot Kismet debuts in Fort Lauderdale, where the
six-deck yacht is sure to garner attention. Her owner, leaving nothing to
chance, chose skilled designers Espen Øino and Reymond Langton. Combining
classic and contemporary elements, her design reflects an art deco influence.
Her lavish interiors display choice décor elements such as solid onyx pillars
and glass murals. Kismet’s special features abound with a cinema, disco,
beach house and glass-bottom spa pool. A 42-foot beam gives her a clear layout
with many entertainment areas. A large owner’s suite, four staterooms and a
bridge VIP accommodate 12. Kismet has a 5,000-nm range and tops out at
15.5 knots. www.lurssen.com

Royal Denship Turmoil
Built for the late Lands’ End founder Gary Comer, Royal
Denship’s 209-foot Turmoil is a true global explorer and a family
cruiser. Also serving as a research vessel for studying global warming, she
houses a wet lab and high-tech equipment for data analysis while under way.
Despite serving a scientific purpose, Turmoil is still a luxury yacht
built to the highest standards, with features like a beauty salon and gym.
Spacious accommodations for 12 include a full-deck owner’s suite displaying
Comer’s model ship collection. Doubling as an airbase for a Cessna floatplane
and a Eurocopter helicopter, she cruises for 6,500 miles at a fast cruise.

Launched from the Royal Van Lent shipyard, Feadship’s 200-foot
Secret did not stay under wraps for long. De Voogt Naval Architects
handled the exterior of this steel and aluminum twin-screw motor yacht. A
full-beam owner’s stateroom is one of many interior spaces allotted for 12
guests and 16 crew. Jim Harris, inspired by French design company Larvor,
selected ebonized walnut, pickled oak joinery and several exclusive marbles to
adorn Secret’s interior. Propelled by twin Cat 3516B DITA diesels to a
16-knot top speed, she has range of 5,000 nautical miles at 12.5 knots.

Abeking & Rasmussen Lady Sheridan
With a Donald Starkey-designed interior/exterior, 190-foot Lady Sheridan boasts an elegant and eclectic blend of styles, with makassar and sycamore woods providing a unifying theme. Seven cabins, two of which combine into a third VIP, sleep up to 12 guests. The main-deck master houses a his-and-hers head as well as a separate cabin for getting even farther away from it all. When kickback time ends, Lady Sheridan’s outdoor exercise area, watersports equipment and 37-foot tender offer a range of blood-pumping activities. Twin Cats give her a 4,000-nm range at a 14-knot cruise. www.abeking.com
 Sensation Yachts Sensation
The 164-foot Sensation delights the senses. This classic
beauty was completely designed and constructed by New Zealand’s Sensation
Yachts. By handling every aspect of the yacht’s construction, down to her French
oak furniture and handmade carpets, Sensation created a uniform and nearly
flawless namesake motor yacht. The aptness of her moniker extends to a warm,
sensuous interior that is decked out with the finest onyx, marbles, silks and
leather wall coverings. Sleeping 10 guests and 12 crew, Sensation carries
two tenders and two Jet Skis. Large outdoor areas and a grand salon make
entertaining large groups a breeze. www.sensation.co.nz (Click image to enlarge)

Trinity Yachts Mine Games
Trinity’s 164-foot Mine Games displays many features
found aboard her predecessors, as well as some unique touches from interior
designer Patrick Knowles. Details of note are her hand-painted overheads,
hand-forged black iron railings and marble medallions. Her public areas include
a combined bar, salon and dining area on the main deck and a more casual
pilothouse salon. Three dining areas, a spa pool, stern swim platform and sun
pads complete her exteriors. Accommodating an owner’s party of 11 in five
staterooms and a crew of 10, Mine Games has a split-level master
completed by a forward main-deck stateroom and a lounge with split bath below.
Her garage houses a small sub, a fleet of tenders and Jet Skis. Two 3,384-hp
Cats push her to 24 knots. www.trinityyachts.com

Westport 164
Built with the same ingenuity and commitment that make its line
of 130-foot production yachts serious market contenders, Westport recently
stepped up its range to include a line of 164-foot tri-decks that prove to be
just as appealing. Interior and exterior design by Donald Starkey gives the
yard’s new flagship an elegant layout with a surprising degree of flexibility
for customization that stops just short of moving bulkheads. Well suited for
private use or charter, her six staterooms include an on-deck, full-beam master
suite and a top-deck VIP. Skilled engineering and architecture from William
Garden and Taylor Olson give the 164 its advanced hull design. Two 3,650-hp MTUs
power the speedy Westport 164. www.westportyachts.com
