High-end car buffs will tell you there are varying degrees of luxury, from Cadillac at one end of the spectrum to Bentley and Rolls Royce at the other.
SUPERYACHTS
As it is with automobiles, the same range of sophistication also is seen in the megayacht market. While, high-end US-built Trinity yacht charter vessels are drop-dead gorgeous, for example, purists will point to the century-old Dutch yards that build the Rolls-Royce of the yachting world – the Feadship yacht charter vessels.
FEADSHIP
Feadship is renowned for exquisite craftsmanship and elegant layouts. The finest materials are used to handcraft these vessels, each a unique statement of an owner’s personal taste and style.
CARIBBEAN INSPECTIONS
One of the finest modern Feadships was recently on display last week in the Caribbean, during the annual charter broker gathering in Antigua – a prelude to the Caribbean winter/spring charter season. Motor yacht HARLE first hit the charter market in 2007. The team at 1-800-YACHT CHARTERS was among the very first to inspect this yacht and interview her crew as she began her maiden charter season from the Miami Beach marina in South Florida.

For years, the name Lürssen has been synonymous with some of the most luxurious, and certainly the largest yachts available for charter. Mammoth-sized vessels such as the 70-meter motor yacht MARTHA ANN and the 60-meter motor yacht HUNTRESS (x-SOLEMATES) are testaments to the 130 yr old German shipbuilder’s dedication to craftsmanship and timeless elegance.
The latest launch by the acclaimed builder is no exception. Lurssen motor yacht ACE has the distinction of being the first superyacht to splash down in 2012. She measures 87 meters and left the company’s shipyard in Rendsburg on January 9th. The superyacht by Andrew Winch Design is magnificent. Her exterior is both unique and instantly recognizable.
Lurssen yacht ACE swimming pool and helipad
This is the unanswered, million-dollar question. Will motor yacht ACE enter the luxury yacht charter market in 2012?

Trending ultra-green yachting continues. News of a decor option that smells a little fishy to us appears. Salmon skin upholstery!
ECO-FRIENDLY
Fuel-guzzling luxury mega yacht charter vessels are not eco-friendly modes of transportation. However, a growing number of yacht owners are taking steps to protect our oceans. They are building and refitting their vessels to “go green.”
CRUELTY-FREE
The latest of these is the use of salmon skin upholstery. Touted as an environmentally-friendly, cruelty-free decor option, it is suitable for superyacht interiors. Salmo Leather GmbH, is the leader in this business, creating leathers from the skins of salmon raised on certified organic fish-farms in Ireland. To illustrate, it looks similar to snakeskin, and salmon leather can be enjoyed guilt-free. It is beneficial in that it is not leather from endangered species.
NANAI
The company has named the product “Nanai.” This word is an homage to the salmon skin tanning techniques and traditions of the Eastern Siberian Nanai people. They have fished salmon on the Amur river for thousands of years.
IMAGINATION IN DESIGN
With its unsurpassed strength and versatility, coupled with its multi-dimensional character and wide variety of color choices, the possibilities nanai has to offer is only limited by the designer’s imagination. Having been certified for its remarkable tear and tensile strength and for its seam resistance, nanai is just as suitable for exquisite interior decorating and furnishing on virgin islands yacht charter vessels as it is for luxury handbags. The Stuart Weitzman Handbags Spring/Summer Collection 2011 features nanai on four of its new handbag models.
SUSTAINABLE
The skins are a by-product of the salmon industry. Fish are not specifically killed for their hides.
ETHICAL
Nanai is referred to by her creators as “a model of ethical elegance.” This is just one of many sustainable building and design materials in the yachting industry.
