In any individual's life there comes a time to consider our impact, and the footprint
we’ll leave behind. The industry itself has evolved monumentally over the last two or three
decades with countless names and faces dedicating their own legacy to its creation. In this
edition of PURSUIT, we take a look at those who have left their mark on the yachting and
luxury landscape which we are privileged to enjoy today.
In building and operating the world’s first commercially registered charter yacht, the
legacy of Ocean Independence can be traced back to 1991. It was this experience which
formed the bedrock that allowed for a truly innovative company to flourish during the
extreme growth of the superyacht industry to where it is today. Fuelled by a genuine
passion for yachting and the unrelenting ambition to provide this experience in its most
pristine form to our Clients, Ocean Independence then went on to acquire several major
yachting companies over the next 30 years, bolstering its position as a leading industry
player. To this day, we continue to push the boundaries of innovation as we shape the
future of yachting.
However, the value of our legacy does not come from the impressive size of our fleet,
sales per year, or financial statements. It’s the fact that this legacy has been built on the
core principles of honesty, respect, integrity and competence, which are truly embodied by
every member of the Team and appreciated by every Client we work with. These are the
values that make our legacy more than just that of a company, but an example of how the
yachting industry should operate.
PETER HÜRZELER
CEO, Ocean Independence
For the 11th edition of PURSUIT, we turn to a sentiment particularly close to the
heart of OCEAN INDEPENDENCE as well as many of our Clients: LEGACY
MAIN IMAGE: PROJECT PHOENIX, NEW CONSTRUCTION FOR SALE WITH OCEAN INDEPENDENCE
At Ocean Independence, we honour and respect the
craftsmanship and TRADITION of the past, while looking optimistically
to the possibilities of the future. In this edition of PURSUIT, we celebrate
the STORIED BRANDS and PIONEERING INDIVIDUALS whose
innovations will leave the greatest inheritance

LAIRD HAMILTON
Regarded as the ‘GREATEST WATERMAN OF ALL TIME’, the
American big wave surfer’s legacy is assured. Yet there is far more to the
PIONEERING ENTREPRENEUR Laird Hamilton than that
t was on August 17 in the year 2000 that Laird Hamilton confirmed his place
in history. Already revered as a surf master, the maverick co-inventor of tow-in
surfing successfully rode a seemingly unconquerable wave: an awe-inspiring
70ft monster in Teahupo’o, Tahiti, which would become known as the Millennium
Wave. It was the first time a wave of that size had ever been ridden, and in taming
it Hamilton redefined the possibilities – both for the sport and human capability.
Described by Surfer Magazine as the “ biggest, boldest, bravest, and the best big
wave surfer in the world today, bar none,” Hamilton has earned the moniker of ‘the
greatest waterman of all time’ despite never having won any form of championship
in surfing or regularly competed. He has done it all on his own terms.
A seemingly fearless thrill-seeker from his earliest years (early video footage
shows the seven-year-old Laird jumping into deep
water from a 60ft cliff), Hamilton’s destiny was
shaped by his childhood in Hawaii. “Where I grew
up there lived the best watermen in the world, and
I admired those who were good men first, before
being great watermen,” Hamilton says. “My
stepdad [Bill Hamilton] was a phenomenal surfer
and someone that I admired and wanted to emulate
as a young man.”
His desire to live up to the example set to him
combined with an innate desire to explore the
unknown saw Hamilton in constant pursuit of ever
bigger waves. Much to the derision of surfing
purists, he co-invented tow-in surfing, which
enabled surfers to catch waves over 20ft high. His
willingness to go against the grain and innovate
saw him completely revolutionise water sports. He
is credited with popularising stand-up paddle
boarding, and bringing hydrofoil boarding to a larger audience, while on land, he
invented the GolfBoard, a pioneering golf buggy-meets-surfboard for riding
around the course.
With his striking looks and incredible abilities in the water, Hamilton appeared
as Kevin Costner’s stunt double for 1995’s Waterworld – during the filming of
which he was nearly lost at sea – and Pierce Brosnan’s for the opening surfing
sequence of the Bond movie Die Another Day.
Hamilton has always understood the need to evolve and in 2016, together with
his wife, the former professional volleyball player Gabrielle Reece, Hamilton
launched the Extreme Performance Training (XPT), an intense fitness training
and lifestyle programme featuring unique water workouts, performance breathing,
recovery methods, endurance training and nutrition for people of all fitness levels
and backgrounds.
XPT has reportedly seen the likes of John McEnroe; Pearl Jam frontman
Eddie Vedder; actors Robert Downey Jr, Josh and James Brolin, John Cusack and
Orlando Bloom; tennis player Victoria Azarenka; and music producer Rick Rubin,
make the pilgrimage to the Hamilton’s Malibu home.
The ‘Laird’ brand has expanded into superfoods and a clothing line, while his
motivational speeches and workshops see him share his experiences in resilience,
innovation, leadership and overcoming adversity with rapt audiences around the
world. As a philanthropist, he has worked with non-profit organisations including
Surfrider
Foundation;
Race
Across
America;
Pipeline for a Cure for Cystic Fibrosis; Rain
Catcher; Muscular Dystrophy and City of Hope.
Hamilton’s love of the ocean and commitment
to preserving its legacy remain at the core of his life
and purpose. In his new role as an ambassador for
British fine watchmaker Bremont, Hamilton was
the obvious choice to test their new limited edition
Waterman
Apex
watch,
a
high-performance
mechanical dive watch forming part of Bremont’s
superlative Supermarine range.
Sales of the watch, which is limited to just 250
pieces, will support the Bimini Shark Lab, a non-
profit organisation in the Bahamas focused on
advancing humankind’s knowledge of the biology
of marine animals, particularly sharks and rays.
“I've been gifted with the opportunity to be able
to do these things in the ocean that inspire people
and so if I share that inspiration with other people then it will hopefully play a
small part in making change,” he says.
Laird Hamilton’s ability to overcome fear has helped him not only to tame the
power of a seemingly unconquerable ocean but also to evolve as a man. In doing
so, he has expanded his legacy from one of single-minded sporting pursuit to
empowering others to realise their own dreams and ambitions.
“You never know who you are going to influence through your actions. I don't
know what child or what person I will be able to influence by sharing my love for
the ocean and what they will then go on to do to affect change…They could be the
next Jacques Cousteau!”

THE AULD MUG
THE AMERICA’S CUP is the world’s OLDEST and most prestigious
sporting competition, and its legacy is continuing with the growing
involvement of FORMULA ONE
In 2024, Barcelona will host the 37th edition of the America’s Cup. With its unique combination of history and modernity, the
Spanish city is a fitting venue for an international sporting event which is older than the Olympic Games yet at the forefront of
technological advancement. The forthcoming competition promises to deliver electrifying drama with the rivalry of the Formula
One race circuit transplanted to the Balearic Sea. First, the America's Cup Challenger of Record, Great Britain’s INEOS Britannia,
partnered with Mercedes-AMG Petronas F1, then the Swiss challenger Ernesto Bertarelli's Alinghi announced its return to the fray
in collaboration with Red Bull Racing. The partnership throws down the gauntlet to Great Britain’s Sir Ben Ainslie. “We are going to
take the F1 DNA and we are going to use it within the boat,” said Red Bull Formula One’s Christian Horner at the launch of Alinghi
Red Bull Racing's challenge for the Cup. Making a powerful statement about the scale of their ambition in sailing and the legacy of
the America’s Cup, Alinghi Red Bull Racing will also field teams in the debut of the Women’s America’s Cup Regatta, as well as in
the return of the Youth America’s Cup. With Formula One Championship-winning technology and bravura combining with the fast
foiling monohulls of the AC75 class, the legacy of the America’s Cup is one of boundless innovation.

NIHI SUMBA
Nihi Sumba has achieved International recognition
as a luxury resort with a conscience and was
awarded ‘World's Best Hotel’ for two consecutive

and preserve the unique Sumbanese culture and
empower local communities to support themselves
and their families.

protect the endangered sea turtles which nest
along Florida’s coast.

FALL-WINTER BY VIRGINIE VIARD
CHANEL
If any house has proven that haute couture is alive and well, it was Chanel when Charlotte
Casiraghi trotted majestically down the runway on horseback for the unforgettable SS22
Haute Couture show. Creative Director Virginie Viard conceived the AW22 show as a
continuation of the last, with models wearing equestrian-style cowboy boots peeping out
from the hems of long skirts and dresses, “designed as Mademoiselle Chanel imagined
them in the 1930s,” Viard explained. Classic signatures of tweeds, twin sets and feminine
details of tulle and bows came together in a palette which incorporated vivid green and
khaki, beige and pink, as well as magnificently bold all-black gowns.

PÉTILLANT
GIORGIO ARMANI PRIVÉ
The optimism, joy and wonder of the Roaring Twenties were magically distilled into
Pétillant, Armani Privé’s AW22 show at Paris Couture Week. With Tamara de Lempicka
– the Polish artist whose highly stylised portraits became synonymous with the Art
Deco period – serving as his muse, Giorgio Armani created a collection which was at
once nostalgic and modern. Echoes of de Lempicka’s rebellious elegance were felt in
the graceful longline jackets, sweeping gowns and effervescent sparkles of this infinitely
wearable day-to-night collection. Mr Armani described de Lempicka as “a rebellious,
independent woman, much ahead of her time.” The essence of the Armani Privé woman.
META MORPHISM
IRIS VAN HERPEN
To mark her label’s 15th anniversary, Dutch designer Iris van Herpen looked back through history to the eighth century to create a visionary collection for the era of the metaverse.
Inspired by three poems from Ovid’s Metamorphoses, those of Daphne, Arachne, and Narcissus, van Herpen designed 16 physical looks and three digital looks to be worn by avatars for
her AW22 show at Paris Haute Couture Week. Named Meta Morphism, it was Iris van Herpen’s debut into the metaverse, and included 3D printing and highly luxurious biodegradable
materials. “Couture is where my heart is,” said van Herpen at a preview. “For me, technology is a tool that makes it possible to bring the craftsmanship forward.”

UNLOCKING HUMAN POTENTIAL
ur health is a privilege often taken for granted until
it is compromised. Illness is treated, while health goes
unobserved. The Chenot philosophy, however, challenges us
to change our approach and reframe how we think about our health
– for our own good.
“We envision health not in terms of the absence of disease and
disability but in terms of what is unseen – our human potential for
higher levels of functioning, resilience and adaptation to our unique
prevailing conditions,” says Dr George Gaitanos, Chief Operating and
Scientific Director of The Chenot Group.
Eschewing the idea that health and vitality are the preserve of
the young and that decline and disease are inevitable facts of growing
older, Chenot’s vision is of ‘unlocking human potential’ at any age. “We
are in good health and very likely feeling well when our body, mind,
and soul work harmoniously and transmit us in a deep sense of peace
and happiness,” says Dr Gaitanos.
Founded nearly 50 years ago by the late Henri Chenot, an advocate
of prevention rather than cure, the Swiss-based wellness brand is
rooted in a holistic approach to health. Fascinated by the impact
of lifestyle choices on our genetic inheritance, Chenot combined the
latest scientific advances in Western medicine and diagnostics with
Chinese healing and alternative medicines to create a revolutionary
multidisciplinary approach to promote wellness.
This led to the development of the Chenot Method® of resetting
the physiology of the body, first applied when Chenot opened the
first Espace Henri Chenot at the General Hospital in Cannes in 1974.
Now found in locations around the world from Azerbijan to Malaysia,
Chenot’s spectacular new flagship Chenot Palace Weggis opened in
Switzerland in June 2020.
Set on the shores of Lake Lucerne, it consists of a beautifully
renovated wooden hotel originally built in 1875, complemented by a
state-of-the-art white-timber-clad 5,000 sqm wing designed by Swiss
architect Davide Macullo which houses contemporary suites and a
labyrinthine medical spa.
Chenot Palace Weggis offers three dedicated wellness programmes
for guests to choose from. Its core programme, ‘The Advanced Detox’
uses a combination of plant-based anti-inflammatory diet, diagnostic
testing and treatments across six departments including Cryotherapy,
Hydrotherapy and daily massage to promote a deep purification
and detoxification of the body. “This helps the body to work more
efficiently and towards its optimal capability,” says Dr Gaitanos.
‘Recover and Energise’ is for guests experiencing prolonged elevated
stress and fatigue, and ‘Prevention and Ageing Well’ is for those seeking
to maintain a healthy and physically active lifestyle.
A week at the Chenot Palace Weggis will leave you revitalised, reset
and ready to embrace a lifetime of optimum wellness, with lessons we
can pass on to the next generation. “The greatest legacy we can leave
is to invest in educating our children on how to grow healthier, as
childhood is the best time to establish great habits,” says Dr Gaitanos.
“Good habits are built in good times.”
Imagine enjoying a lifetime of VITALITY and WELLNESS –
and leaving that LEGACY for the next generation. With PIONEERING
global wellness operator CHENOT, that vision can become a reality

extraordinary wildlife and cultural heritage, The Red Sea Project and sister destination AMAALA will put Saudi Arabia on the
international tourism map. With phase one set for completion by the end of 2023, the project will comprise of 50 hyper-luxurious
resorts – including the Ritz Carlton Reserve, Miraval and Rosewood – offering up to 8,000 hotel rooms and more than 1,000
residential properties. Committed to sustainable development, The Red Sea Project will also mitigate carbon dioxide emissions,
waste production and light and noise pollution. AMAALA will be home to a luxurious new Yacht Club with a 120-berth marina,
setting out Saudi Arabia’s ambition to become an international yachting hub.
DESIGNING THE FUTURE
THE OWO
LONDON
The astonishing redevelopment of The Old War Office, The
OWO is the most hotly anticipated new opening in London. The
backdrop to world-shaping events, with icons of the 20th
century including Winston Churchill and Ian Fleming walking
its corridors, the Grade II* listed Edwardian landmark on
Whitehall has received £1.5bn of investment and a meticulous
six-year renovation spearheaded by the Hinduja Group. Hosting
the UK’s first Raffles Hotel; 85 residences designed by British
design studio 1508 London and managed by Raffles; nine
restaurants led by internationally renowned chefs and
restaurateurs; three bars, and Guerlain’s first London spa, The
OWO is reborn for the 21st century.
FIVE PARK
MIAMI BEACH
Miami Beach is set to be transformed with Five Park, a
glamorous new residential development due for completion in
early 2024. Designed by renowned architecture and planning
studio, Arquitectonica, Five Park will showcase a gleaming
residential tower – the tallest in Miami – with an expansive
three-acre public park, retail space, and a landmark art-
inspired bridge, connecting the community. With 98 luxurious
residences, the elliptical floor plans offer residents access to
abundant natural light and expansive views, as well as a host of
considered amenities. Fitness areas, swimming pools, work
spaces, a private beach club and curated dining experiences
combine to usher in a new era for Miami Beach.
From ancient Middle Eastern landscapes to ICONIC 20TH CENTURY
buildings, these extraordinary redevelopments succeed in being both sensitive
to their HERITAGE and PIONEERING in their vision

myriad celebratory launches including 200 Trunks, 200 Visionaries: The Exhibition.
Creatives the from worlds of art and culture, science, sport and humanitarian causes were
invited to personalise an emblematic Louis Vuitton trunk with their fees donated to 15

AROUND THE WORLD IN 16 DAYS
BOODLES
Founded in 1798, storied British jewellers Boodles is already comfortably into its 200s.
Steered by six generations of the same family – the Wainwrights, Boodles is the only fine
jewellery company to hail from Liverpool, which is still home to its head office today.
Boodles recently launched the Around the World in 16 Days high jewellery collection,
inspired by the remarkable journey to circumnavigate the globe undertaken in 1962 by
the late former Chairman, Anthony Wainwright. Featuring 26 astonishing modern rings
inspired by the places he visited, including New York, Jaipur, Marrakech, St Petersburg
and Sydney, the collection is a fitting tribute to Boodles’ unique heritage.
AUTOMOBILI PININFARINA
BOVET
Founded in Fleurier, Switzerland, in 1822 BOVET’s pioneering designs of the 1800s focussed on intricately decorated and chronometrically advanced pocket timepieces. With
their cases embellished with enamel paintings and often adorned with pearls, their precision movements were just as beautiful, leading BOVET to become the first brand to
feature an exhibition case back. That pioneering spirit continues today under the careful ownership of Pascal Raffy. Thirty per cent of BOVET’s limited production is bespoke,
from engraved initials through to full bespoke timepieces. Their partnership with Pininfarina has produced a number of cutting edge timepieces, and a revolutionary new
partnership with Automobili Pininfarina has unveiled the Battista, an entirely bespoke timepiece at the pinnacle of haute horology.

hink of a whisky drinker, and you probably
don’t imagine one of the thirty-somethings
frequenting The Swan Song in Singapore or
Milroy’s of Soho in London.
You may also be surprised
to note that at the Sotheby’s
spirits sale in March, 54 per
cent of bidders were under
the age of 40.
So
why
has
whisky
become so popular with this
age group? Call it the ‘Don
Draper effect’. “This came
in simultaneously with the
box set generation,” says
Jonny Fowle, Director and
Head of Whisky & Spirits
at Sotheby’s. “Shows like
Mad
Men,
Breaking
Bad
and
Boardwalk
Empire
started a glamorous whisky
revolution.
There
was
a
perfect storm where modern
culture collided with whisky
companies’ ability to put out extremely old whisky.”
Whisky has become the most expensive category
in alcohol. In 2019, Sotheby’s sold a bottle of Macallan
Fine & Rare 1926 for $1.9m – still the record. While
Japanese whiskies have grown hugely in popularity,
Scotch whisky still dominates the market. The most
expensive bottle of Japanese whisky – a first edition
Yamazaki
55-Year-Old
–
sold for just under $800,000,
while for the most expensive
American whiskey – a bottle
of LeNell’s Red Hook Rye
24-Year-Old Barrell #4 –
sold for $43,750.
If you’d like to start
your own collection, Fowle
advises becoming “obsessed”
with
the
category.
He
also
recommends
buying
something you like: “if it
goes up in value perhaps
you benefit from it, and if it
comes to drinking it you’ll
genuinely enjoy it.”
If you wish to speculate,
buying “en primeur” from
one of the crop of new
distilleries could prove a
worthwhile investment. However, Fowle adds “if
you want to have the best collection in the world you
have to have the Macallan 1926 – there’s no doubt
about that.”

A GREENER CHARTER
here’s nothing that can match the feelings of
anticipation and excitement which go hand in
hand with booking a yacht charter. Now a deep
sense of satisfaction can be added to the mix with the
knowledge that you have offset the carbon emissions
from your charter and supported life-changing
environmental projects in the process.
Our new partnership with ClimatePartner, a
pioneering solution provider for corporate climate
action, enables our Clients to have mindful, climate-
conscious decisions and make a positive impact on the
environment when booking their yacht charters.
A vital part of our broader Environmental Social
Governance
programme,
our
carbon
offsetting
initiative has been in the planning since 2018. “We
developed it before Covid but realised our Clients and
charter guests were probably not focussed on it during
the
pandemic,”
says
Daniel
Küpfer,
Managing
Director of Yacht Management at Ocean Independence.
“We believe the time is right for it now.”
Selecting the right company to partner with was
an exacting process, and ClimatePartner stood out.
Founded in Munich in 2006, the company now has
more than 5,000 clients around the world and offices
in 13 countries. “During the selection process we had
many
meetings
with
various
companies
and
ClimatePartner came across as really passionate
about what they were doing at both a personal and
company level,” says Thomas Carey, DPA and Project
Manager at Ocean Independence, and instrumental in
implementing our partnership with ClimatePartner.
ClimatePartner is independently verified by TÜV
Austria, an international specialist in environmental
matters, “so the whole process with them is very
transparent – both for us and for the Client, so we
know the money will be used correctly,” he adds.
“Trust is essential and we are confident we have
found a trustworthy partner because we don’t want to
participate in greenwashing,” says Küpfer. “We
recognise the vulnerability of the environment and
our responsibilities and as a company we want to
shape the future of yachting – the entire industry
needs to develop in that direction. Offsetting carbon
emissions from our charters should really have an
impact, and it is just the beginning of a much wider
environmental programme for Ocean Independence.”
Another part of the appeal of ClimatePartner was
the
water-based
projects
the
carbon
offsetting
programme supports. We have selected four projects
to champion, all of which are sustainable and have far-
reaching benefits both to local communities and the
wider environment. Hydropower for the Habitat of
Mountain Gorillas provides a sustainable energy
source to the inhabitants of the Virunga National
Park region in the Democratic Republic of Congo. By
providing an alternative to illegal charcoal, this
project helps to protect the forest habitat of some of
the last mountain gorillas still alive in the world today.
Water
Treatment
in
India
supports
ClimatePartner’s carbon offset project in Odisha in
India, which focuses on organising the chemical
treatment of water using chlorine. In India, more than
two million children die from cholera or typhoid fever
each year, diseases spread mainly through untreated
drinking water – a major issue in India where only 32
percent of households have access to treated water.
Plastic Free Oceans addresses the problem of the
more than eight million tonnes of plastic waste which
ends up in the ocean every year. Plastic waste
collectors in Haiti, Indonesia and the Philippines can
earn an income by collecting discarded plastic and
taking it to Plastic Bank branches where it can be
recycled in exchange for money as well as food,
drinking water, mobile phone credits, cooking oil or
even school fees.
Climate Action with Microenergy Credits works to
counteract energy-related problems while promoting
entrepreneurship in India. By providing MECs, local
entrepreneurs can offer energy-efficient products such
as efficient cookstoves, water filters, or solar lights at

So how does it work? All you need to do is simply
decide whether to offset your charter’s emissions and
At Ocean Independence, our PASSION FOR THE OCEAN is at the heart of everything we do. Through our new
PARTNERSHIP with ClimatePartner, we can now offer our charter Clients the option to OFFSET their emissions

we’ll take care of the rest. Our easy to use offsetting
calculator, developed in house, uses complex technical
data to show exactly how the emissions will be offset
and where the money will be invested. “From A to Z
there is full transparency so our Clients can have full
confidence and feel affiliated with the causes they are
supporting,” says Küpfer. After the charter is
completed, ClimatePartner will issue a certificate so
our Clients can see exactly what they’ve invested in
and where the carbon emissions have been offset.
Offsetting the carbon emissions from our yacht
charters is just the beginning of our company-wide
commitment to making Ocean Independence more
environmentally friendly. ClimatePartner has been
working with us to calculate our corporate carbon
footprint and supporting us to make greener choices.
“We are planning to have a fully implemented ESG
programme, and we have introduced initiatives such
as offsetting business travel; recycling; reusing of
materials; avoiding single-use plastic and organising
team events” says Küpfer.
“On board our managed yachts, we are avoiding
single-use plastic and working closer with the crew so
the food and beverage is purchased locally and not
flown in. We think it’s rewarding because there is
awareness amongst our staff in the office and amongst
the crew, and there is also a lot of awareness amongst
our charter guests,” he says. “Our obligation is to
come up with the solutions.”
“The yachting industry as a whole is evolving to
address climate change,” says Carey. “We already see
at the shipyards that clients often ask for hybrid
propulsion concepts for their new builds,” adds Küpfer.
“More and more we see the use of solar cells, and there
is a lot going on in terms of research into alternative
fuels and a general reduction of emissions to meet the
target of the International Maritime Organization.”
(The IMO is aiming for each vessel to have reduced its
greenhouse gas emissions by at least 40 percent by
2030 compared with 2008.)
There is also a shift in the way owners are buying
and using their yachts altogether. “We are seeing that
there is a slowly increasing demand for a shared
ownership of a yacht, so the footprint of creating it
remains the same but it’s more cleverly shared between
different
owners,”
says
Küpfer.
“For
future
generations, property becomes maybe less important
and people are more willing to share when they are
aware that this is a good use of their impact on the
environment. This is just the beginning.”

What do you get when two giants of ITALIAN design join forces?
The TECNOMAR for LAMBORGHINI 63 – a thrilling motor yacht which fuses storied
DESIGN HERITAGE with cutting edge NAUTICAL ENGINEERING
here are collaborations, and then there is the partnership forged
between the Italian Sea Group’s Tecnomar brand and
Lamborghini. The result – a truly unique motor yacht which
brings together the pinnacle of avant-garde design in both supercars
and superyachts – sets a new standard.
“The Tecnomar for Lamborghini 63 is more than an amalgamation,
it is a fusion of two high-end DNAs to create a new ‘being,’” says
Giovanni Costantino, Founder and CEO of the Italian Sea Group. “It
is ultra-modern, technologically advanced and a new emblem of the
great Italian design tradition.”
The challenge was how to incorporate the heritage and distinctive
design features of Lamborghini cars into a high performance motor
yacht. “We absolutely didn't want to make a supercar-on-water, so
the main goal was to design a real yacht with Lamborghini's body
and soul,” says Costantino.
Inspired by the legendary Countach and the Sián FKP 37 hybrid
car, the exterior look is unmistakably Lamborghini. From the
hexagonal shapes and sharp angles to the hard top and the unique
silhouette of those models – one curved line from front to rear.
Powered by twin MAN V12-2000hp engines, the use of carbon
fibre results in a maximum weight of 24 tons. Every edition is custom
made with a choice of three layouts, and can be varnished in any
colour in the Lamborghini colour chart.
The number 63 is significant to both marques: 1963 was
Automobili Lamborghini’s foundation year, as well as the year of
Giovanni Costantino’s birth; 63 is the number of knots the yacht
can reach – making it the fastest in Tecnomar’s fleet; and its length
in feet.
How was Tecnomar was able to replicate the ‘feel’ of a
Lamborghini in a yacht? “By working on an emotional level rather
than following a commercial brief,” Costantino explains. “We used
our instinct, our passion and our love for that combination of speed,
style and uniqueness that makes Italian supercars so loved
worldwide. The close collaboration provided new points of view and
taught us the importance, relevance and meaning of being a luxury
brand in terms of quality, efficiency and style.”
The team also took a completely new approach to the process of
designing the yacht. “We started from a blank page and didn’t
think about it being on the water or the ground, focusing only on
the style and look,” says Costantino. “Then, we moved it into the
water and realised it was perfect; not a car, not a conventional
speedboat – something new. It was amazing. We made very few
changes from the first models to the final one.”
So, what does the Tecnomar for Lamborghini 63 represent for
the Italian Sea Group? “A gem – it is a hymn to the great Italian
savoir faire,” says Costantino. As Ferruccio Lamborghini himself
said: “Lamborghini is refinement, luxury and perfection.” Now it is
also a magnificent motor yacht.

Whether you seek a legendary heritage yacht or the pinnacle of next-generation design,
these yachts under 60m prove that smaller is beautiful
TOP 10 YACHTS
One of the most distinctive designs by celebrated yacht designer Jon Bannenberg,
50m Thunder was custom built in 1998 by Australian shipyard Oceanfast. With
her hull, superstructure and bulkheads composed of lightweight carbon fibre,
Thunder is powered by twin 2,950 horsepower MTU V16 diesel engines and a trio
of Kamewa water jets. With two dining areas and a seven-metre swimming pool
which doubles as tender storage, Thunder can sleep up to 12 people across six
cabins with a full-beam master suite, plus a crew of nine. Thunder underwent a
refit in 2021. Her original interior, designed by Bannenberg, was replaced when
the yacht changed ownership in 2016, with Roberto Cavalli reportedly designing
the opulent finishes of glossy woods, precious metals and silver paint seen today.
This beguilingly beautiful 11-metre custom motor yacht was
originally commissioned in 1967 by Gianni Agnelli, the famed head
of Fiat. At the time Europe’s most powerful businessman with a
reputation as one of Italy’s most stylish rakes, Agnelli wanted a
‘fast commuter’ which combined looks with performance – with
increased comfort for good measure. He sought out Renato
‘Sonny’ Levi, the celebrated yacht designer and builder, and
commissioned his friend Sergio Pininfarina to design the interior.
The result is still sublime more than half a century on. Featuring
elliptical slatted mahogany hull sides and a delicate teak lip
surrounding the small cabin entrance, G. Cinquanta is a head-
turning beauty. She’s fast, too. Four 8.0-litre BPM V-8 Vulcano
engines kick out 320HP apiece, with a comfortable cruising speed
of 25 knots and a top speed of 50 knots. Owned by Agnelli until
1975 until he gifted it to his friend and relative, G. Cinquanta has
been lovingly maintained.

A yachting pioneer, Mangusta 80 is the original Maxi Open
style yacht. Designed and built in the mid 1990s by the Italian
family-run Overmarine shipyard, Mangusta 80 revolutionised
modern yachting. ‘Open’ yachts had never before reached 80 feet
in length and as a result, buyers had to compromise between
sportiness and comfort. Unsurprisingly Mangusta 80 was a huge
success, putting the Mangusta brand on the map and making Maxi
Open a popular choice for discerning buyers. Comprehensively
upgraded in 2020 with brand new engines in 2015, Mangusta 80
has a top speed of 42 knots and is large enough to accommodate
up to seven people in three elegantly decorated cabins along with
up to three crew in one cabin. Her considered layout provides airy
daytime areas both inside and out: the large sun lounge at the bow
and another at the stern offer plenty of sunbathing space, while
the spacious cockpit provides plenty of room to gather loved ones
as she is put through her paces.

Due for completion in 2023, the sophisticated 40m Benetti
Oasis proves that a smaller yacht is no barrier to luxury. With
exterior design by award-winning British design firm RWD, Oasis
combines classic English lines with the refinement expected of
this historic Italian shipyard. Designed to offer her Owner and
their guests the finest experience of life at sea, Benetti Oasis is
devoted to unadulterated good fun. The astonishing aft terrace
on the main deck features full beach club with a large pool, fold-
out balconies and plenty of room for relaxing. A wellness area
located after the yacht’s lobby is the ideal setting for a gym,
massage room or yoga studio.
With elegant and minimalist interiors designed by New York
firm Bonetti/Kozerski Architecture, making its debut in the
yachting world, Benetti Oasis’s interiors offer relaxed and informal
comfort for up to ten people in five cabins, with accommodation
for up to nine crew.
The full-beam master suite forward of the main deck offers a
private lounge and magnificent views, while the upper deck
includes a sky lounge as well as a lounge aft – perfect for an
aperitif in port. A refined and modern lounge leads through to a
formal dining area, serviced by a bar. The sundeck comes with
alfresco dining as well as a second on-deck spa. With unparalleled
views on the surrounding seas and providing total privacy, this
spot will be one of your favourites while at anchor. With a top
speed of 14.5 knots, Benetti Oasis is a true pleasure yacht.

Built by celebrated Dutch ship builder Amels and designed
by Terence Disdale, 52m Tigre D’Or blazed a trail for the semi-
custom large yacht. As soon as she was delivered in 1999, her
Owner placed her on the market and ordered another one, more
or less the same, enabling a second purchaser to obtain a
virtually new yacht without the usual building delay – a business
model which was to become an industry yardstick.
Tigre D’Or was the first yacht to be built to the requirements
of the Large Yacht Code, and the first of a series of eight sister
ships which shared the same hull, engineering and layout, but
with individual interior designs created by leading designers.
Rather than being put off the idea of a yacht being part of a
series, Owners appreciated the combination of a proven design
with a short delivery time – two years rather than up to four for
a new construction.
With elegant interiors designed by Terence Disdale, Tigre
D’Or can sleep up to 12 people across an expansive master suite
on the main deck and four further guest cabins on the lower
deck with further accommodation for up to 11 crew. Her
considered and spacious layout offers several alfresco dining
areas, a deck spa pool and large range of amenities and toys.
Installed with twin Cummins diesel engines, Tigre D’Or can
reach a maximum speed of 16 knots and has an efficient range of
5470 nautical miles when sailing at her cruising speed of 14
knots. It’s easy to see why she set such a precedent.

When out at sea, choice is the ultimate luxury. Combining the
sleek, graceful profile and the exhilaration of a classic sailing yacht
with the ease of a motor yacht, the Liberty 152’ sloop offers the
very best of both worlds.
With her sail plan set up to simplify the process as much as
possible, she provides a thrilling sailing experience without fuss or
effort on tried and tested control systems with proven in-service
reliability. Meanwhile, her hybrid propulsion and energy recovery
systems minimise her carbon footprint.
Designed by award-winning Dixon Yacht Design to dispel the
idea that a sailing yacht cannot compete with a motor yacht when
it comes to onboard entertainment, Liberty 152’ provides a raft of
tenders and toys. A 5.65m Williams Diesel Jet tender is concealed
under the foredeck, while a recessed jacuzzi and fold down aft
bulwarks on the aft deck offer the perfect opportunity to relax. A
hinge down bathing platform invites guests to explore the water.
Liberty 152’ also offers her potential Owner the choice of two
distinct layout options: four or five-cabin with differing crew
accommodation depending upon your service requirements. In
both layouts, the Owner’s cabin is located aft with direct access
onto the aft ‘beach’. A further three of four guest cabins follow
depending upon whether the Owner’s or chartered focussed
layout is chosen. The Owner’s layout offers a study or snug forward
of the deck saloon, with three or four crew cabins to be found in
the foreship. The choice is yours.

ARKSEN 85
NEW CONSTRUCTION FOR SALE
Due for delivery in the summer of 2023, the third in the
pioneering 23m Arksen 85 series is an explorer built for adventure
and designed for comfort while making minimal environmental
impact. Arksen 85’s hull and superstructure are built in low carbon,
recycled aluminium and she is capable of producing zero emissions
when operating in full electric mode, with an optional hybrid
propulsion system and solar panels. Environmentally conscious
decisions have been made by naval architects Humphreys Yacht
Design and interior design studio Design Unlimited, who sourced
environmentally friendly yet luxurious products and fabrics.
In spite of her size, Arksen 85 can sleep between eight and 14
people and has a huge capacity for carrying tenders and other
equipment such as the Arksen Adventure Pod, which can be fitted
out as a dive centre, ocean science lab, accommodation or vehicle
storage. With a top speed of 14 knots and a staggering range of
7000 nautical miles, Arksen 85 is the perfect choice for those
wanting a serious and innovative yacht in which to explore remote
corners of the globe.

Breathtakingly beautiful, 36m Sunny Hill is a true connoisseur’s yacht. Designed by Diana Yacht
Design, built by Dutch shipyard De Amstel and launched in 1987, Sunny Hill was built as one of the
three famous Colombaio motor sailors which were, at the time, revolutionary charter vessels and the
first commercial yachts.
Having been exquisitely restored, this classical motor sailing yacht is virtually a new vessel,
while remaining true to her Dutch pedigree. Sunny Hill is very seaworthy and is a safe and
comfortable passage maker in all conditions, equally at ease under sail as she is under engine
power. She sleeps ten people across five staterooms – the master stateroom is a full beam suite
situated in the aft of the yacht with a large en suite bathroom – while all guest staterooms are amid
ship. With a cruising speed of ten knots and a range of 4000 nautical miles, Sunny Hill is an
excellent choice for those with a spirit of adventure. A jacuzzi and a plethora of tenders and toys
will keep every generation entertained.
A true icon of the sea, 59m Marala hails from the golden age of yacht building. Built by the
renowned Camper & Nicholsons’ shipyard in Southampton and launched in 1931, she has had just five
devoted Owners since. Her rich heritage has seen her converted for active naval service during
World War II where she protected convoys in the Irish Sea and the Atlantic, her quiet twin MAN
engines enabling her to disable a German U-Boat. In peacetime, she cruised extensively in Scandinavia
and the Caribbean and played host to illustrious guests including Frank Sinatra and Salvador Dali.
Now, following four years of meticulous refit and restoration work in Malta and at the Pendennis
shipyard in Falmouth, Marala has made a return to the sea. Her devoted Owners commissioned
London based interior design studio Muza Lab to design the guest area refit. With expertly crafted
woodwork features – including the restoration of Marala’s original sleigh bed – silk panel walls,
straw parquetry, brass fittings, crystal chandeliers and a fireplace, the new design recalls the Art
Deco period in which Marala was launched, while her rebuilt engines equip her for her next chapter.
When passionate yachtsman Luca Bassani established the
Wally Class racing yacht series in 1999, he brought a superlative
sporting variation to Wally’s already pioneering cruising
programme. Coinciding with the inaugural year of the Voiles de
St. Tropez regatta, Wally Class Owners have participated in the
regatta over the ensuing two decades. The fleet of 13 high-tech,
high-performance racing yachts have an excellent racing
pedigree. Magic Carpet3, the second of the yachts in the box-
ruled Wally Cento series, combines superb race performance
with cruising comfort. One of three Wally Class yachts owned by
passionate racer Sir Lindsay Owen-Jones (the first client of the
Wally) Magic Carpet3 has a raft of wins to her name including the
Wally Class Trophy in 2018 and the Loro Piana Superyacht
Regatta 2017. The ultimate racing legacy series.
