Delivered to her owner in July, the 63 meter yacht is currently cruising in the Greek islands.  So far there is no word if the vessel will be entering the Greek yacht charter fleet.

 

Sunrise 63 yacht IRIMARI makes her official debut at the 2015 Monaco Yacht Show.

Per our friends at Boat International, one exciting “superfeature” to be expected inside motoryacht Irimari is “…a video wall spanning two decks!

Espen Oeino International is considered one of the leading design studios of private yacht charter vessels.  They base in Monaco.  Their specialty is in the category of Superyachts.  Their portfolio includes Lurssen motor yacht MARTHA ANN, and the world’s largest yacht available for charter, Fincantieri yacht SERENE.

 

TURKISH BUILDER

The launch of yacht IRIMARI marks the first of the Sunrise 63 series to splash down for the Turkish builder.  The Espen Oeino designed yacht features interiors by Focus Yacht Design and naval architecture by Unique Yacht Design. Built with a high tensile steel hull and aluminum superstructure, the yacht has a transatlantic range of 5,000 miles, and a top speed of 17 knots.

Superyacht | Private yacht perfect for James Bond Villain

UNIQUE YACHT FOR COMMISSION

Thanks to The Robb Report and writer, Viju Mathew for sharing this unique luxury yacht.

Profile of huge futuristic-looking concept yacht

<< The beauty behind Sander Sinot’s 590-foot Symmetry yacht concept is its sophisticated sense of balance. The Netherlands–based founder of Sinot Exclusive Yacht Design named the bespoke behemoth after its symmetrical hull and stern, allowing for equal maneuverability in both directions. The design duality carries over into the lavish living spaces, where interior and exterior boundaries become exquisitely blurred.

THE OWNER’S DECK

The dedicated owner’s deck, for example, will feature a stateroom that can be opened up to flow onto its private outdoor lounge and infinity pool. And on the Beach Deck, a floating lounge with a seawater pool will be able to extend out across the ocean. In all, Symmetry will provide over 10,700 square feet of usable exterior deck space, including a glass-bottom pool on the Guest Deck and another 56-foot-long pool on the Hotel Deck.

THE YACHT INTERIOR

Inside, the yacht’s six decks of indulgence house a spa, a garden, a gym, and a selection of dining and bar venues. For young ones, a theater and playroom provide distraction on the Lower Deck. Aquatic amenities will include two 33-foot tenders, a 46-foot day boat, and six personal watercraft.

 

ACCOMMODATIONS

She accomodates up to 34 guests. Specifically, in four ensuite VIP rooms.  Each with a personal lounge and balcony.  In addition, there are 12 cabins. Within the owner’s inner sanctum is a private spa, an office, a library, and a skylounge. >>

Edited.

The steel-hulled yacht is environmentally-balanced.   It benefits from an electric Azipod propulsion system.  Subsequently making possible a top speed of 20 knots.  It is controlled from twin navigation stations on the Wheelhouse Deck.  Sinot introduced Symmetry at the Monaco Yacht Show last month.  A new owner, or Bond villain, is welcome to commission it.

There will always be a Bond film that’s ready for her!

We hope that a buyer commissions this high-caliber, impressive yacht.  Subsequently entering her in the superyacht charter industry. Fingers crossed!

Under the Sea: Top 3 Snorkel Spots in Florida

Posted on

SNORKELING IS TOPS

Ask anyone who has enjoyed a yachting vacation what activity they enjoyed the most, and chances are they will tell you, “the snorkeling.”  Indeed, there is something magical about donning a pair of fins, strapping on a mask and snorkel, and exploring the world below the waves.

It is this opportunity to explore first-hand the undersea world that draws so many travelers to South Florida, to enjoy a Florida yacht charter vacation, and spend part of the time off the boat – and in the water.

 

BEST SNORKEL SPOTS IN SOUTH FLORIDA

With so many areas easily accessible and filled with interesting sights, we asked our charter department to put their heads together and come up with their favorite snorkeling spots in South Florida.  In no particular order, here are their top 3:

 

1.  PEANUT ISLAND (Rivera Beach)

Above the waterline, it’s hardly a remote, tropical oasis. This unique eighty acre public park is a man-made island situated in the Intracoastal Waterway near the Lake Worth Inlet in close proximity to the City of Riviera Beach, and the Port of Palm Beach. Locals take small boats, kayaks and rafts and float out to the park for picnics – and it can be super crowded on weekends.  The real reason to visit this destination during a private yacht charter is the opportunity to snorkel around the island and the see the sea life. The list of creatures you can encounter is a long one – squid, rays, octopus, and thousands of brilliantly-colored tropical fish. If you’re lucky, you might even see a Florida manatee!

Tip:  The best time for snorkeling is around high tide. The waters here are a bath-like 85 degrees well into September.

 

2. KEY LARGO

The further south you head in Florida, the warmer the water gets, even in winter.  It’s the warmth, both air and sea that draws boaters to the Florida Keys.  Many charter yacht vacations begin in Miami. Key Largo, about a 2-3 hour cruise from Miami, is often the first night’s destination.   This island is a snorkeler’s dream – shallow coral reefs, tropical sea life, and oh yeah – really warm water!!!  In the summer, the water temp can climb to nearly 90 degrees – ahhhh…

Tip:  A snorkel outing to John Pennekamp Coral Reef (underwater) State Park is a must.

LASTLY,

3.  DRY TORTUGAS (Key West)

At the southernmost tip of the chain of islands that make up the Florida Keys, is the island of Key West. 70 miles to the west lies Dry Tortugas National Park. 100-square miles of mostly open water with seven small islands makes this a great snorkeling destination.  Rarely crowded, its accessible only by boat or seaplane, the park is known the world over as the home of the Civil War’s Fort Jefferson, picturesque blue waters, and abundant coral reefs and marine life.

Tip:  After snorkeling, take a tour of the old fort, hosted by National Park Rangers.

Yacht Charter | Jetson’s Jet Pack Takes Flight

Posted on

It was always fun to watch the famous space cartoon, The Jetsons, and imagine what it would be like in the future — transporting in rapidly moving little flying vehicles, getting ready in the morning by hopping on a conveyor belt and being automatically coiffed and dressed, and racing around wearing rocket-powered backpacks.

If you think about it, some of those wild cartoonish theories are seemingly becoming realities!

Flying cars DO now exist, although they are not yet mass produced.

Conveyor belts DO now exist, although they have not been perfected to prepare us in the mornings.

…and jetpacks DO now exist, although they were first seen in James Bond 007 movies as gadgets…and they now appear on Mediterranean yacht charter superyachts as the latest and greatest watersports toy!
