Top 5 superyachts on the market for under €5m

Boat show season is upon us, so I’ve gone superyacht shopping on a budget. With over 700 brokerage yachts currently on the market, ranging in price from €295,000 for a used vessel to €185 million for some of the largest new-build concepts, I’ve explored just how much boat a smaller budget can get you.

Here’s my top 5 for superyachts for under €5 million:

37m m/y hush.

Bearing the unmistakable lines and styling of a Palmer Johnson yacht, Hush is a fantastic example of their PJ120 series and is presented for sale in immaculate condition. Her interior, by Nuvolari Lenard, is smart and contemporary with comfortable social spaces and accommodation for eight guests in four spacious en-suite cabins.

Number of guests: 8 Asking: €4,450,000 Listed for sale with: Burgess

26.9m S/Y Tiketitoo

With design and engineering from German Frers and an interior arrangement that provides accommodation for six guests in three cabins, there’s more to this little Wally than meets the eye. Well maintained and the recent recipient of a new teak deck, paint job and 3Di race sails, Tiketitoo is ready to hit the superyacht sailing scene.

Number of guests: 6 Asking: €1,500,000 Listed for sale with: Y.CO

32.5m M/Y Dolce Vita

Get a taste of the good life with 32.5m Dolce Vita. Launched in 2016 and still under shipyard warranty, this Numarine sports yacht has had just one owner since new and offers carefully considered functionality without compromising on performance or aesthetics.

Number of guests: 8 Asking: €4,750,00 Listed for sale with: Camper & Nicholsons

62.5m M/Y Blue Dawn

At 62.05m, Blue Dawn is one of the largest vessels this budget can buy. Built in 1959, she presents a fantastic refit opportunity for an owner with vision who’s looking to put his or her own stamp on something. Operated as a private yacht since 2004, Blue Dawn can sleep ten guests in five cabins but this could easily be increased to a 12-guest capacity.

Number of guests: Asking: €3,200,00 Listed for sale with: IYC

27.6m S/Y Mariska

Built in 1908 by Fife, this classic beauty fulfils every romantic notion of sailing yacht ownership. Having been comprehensively and lovingly restored, Mariska is not only an icon of the classic fleet but a serial regatta winner, taking the silverware at the Giraglia, Puerto Sherry, San Remo and St Tropez regattas – known as a ‘Grand Slam’ – in both 2016 and 2017.

Number of guests: Asking: €2,850,000 Listed for sale with: Northrop & Johnson

20 Of The Best Boats Under $5 Million To Summer In Style

With major boat shows all but cancelled in 2020 due to Covid, the world’s best boat manufacturers have been itching to get their newest designs in front of eager buyers and open water enthusiasts – and where better do so than Cannes? Not only does the Cannes Yachting Festival showcase the best vessels that money can buy, but it also celebrates some of the best boats under $5 million, for those with pockets less deep than the billionaire attendees.

The Cannes Yachting Festival – which spans September 7-12 -features 450 motorboats and yachts up to 150 feet at the Vieux Port, with another 108 new launches in the sailing area, as well as 50 brokerage yachts, a ‘Luxury Gallery’ and a dedicated area for electric boats, multihulls, and sea-trials.

RELATED: Step Inside The 75m Kenshō: 2023’s Motor Yacht Of The Year

While the majority of attention will land on the likes of Benetti’s 37m Motopanfilo and 40m Oasis ‘Rebeca’ we featured last month, Cantiere delle Marche’s new Flexplorer ‘Aurelia’ , and Mangusta’s first 104REV , we thought we’d focus on boats for millionaires, not billionaires, and highlight some of the best boats under $5m. Versatile open spaces, minimal convertible decks, intuitive spaces, and expedition yachts, optimised for range, are all on-trend in 2021. Here’s our pick of the motor yacht and sailing yacht releases you need to know – just in case you can spare a few million one day. Not a few hundred million.

Bluegame BG72 – $5m

The Bluegame BG72 was designed by Architect Luca Santella as a cross-over of open and flybridge designs, championing performance, comfort, safety, and maneuverability. An enclosed forward pilothouse on the upper bridge offers the captain 360° visibility while maximising space towards the aft for multiple outdoor areas, arranged over three levels, with a flexible main deck providing space for additional entertaining and tender storage.

The saloon, with direct access to the beach club, can be optioned as a lounge or as a grand owner’s cabin, with a further five cabins dressed in Canaletto walnut wood and leather for a sleek and sophisticated aesthetic throughout. The Bluegame 72 is an exciting and progressive design for an owner who desires to lead, not follow. Check out the gallery at Simspon Marine .

ICE 70 – $4.13m

Extensive use of carbon fibre for the optimised hull, deck, and structures, ensures great rigidity and efficient performance, and comfortable cruising for longer journeys. A rear tender garage allows space for a 4.2m tender while an optional Cariboni telescopic lifting keel reduces draught from 4.3m to just 2.75m.

Sirena 68 – $3.9m

Turkish outfit Serina has used Cannes to debut their new Sirena 68 with a three + one cabin layout for an experienced owner-operator or small crew. The expedition-style flybridge cruiser features an open-living main deck with a kitchen, lounge, and dining space, encouraging free-flowing conversation and interaction for families who like to cook and relax together.

A generous bow features a large sun pad and casual dining set up with additional outdoor spaces outside the main saloon and on the flybridge, complete with a kitchenette and full-sized BBQ. At an economy cruising speed of 10knots, the Sirena 68 is capable of travelling over 1,200 nautical miles, which covers Sydney to Auckland on a single tank of diesel.

Grand Banks 54 – $3.7m

When it comes to building your dream boat, the question of how long is a piece of string is especially relevant – even more so when at Grand Banks. The manufacturer of sophisticated luxury cruisers hasn’t strayed far from the iconic Grand Banks aesthetic but has incorporated carbon and vacuum infusion throughout, reducing weight and adding to the strength, stability, and efficiency of the brand’s V-Warp Hull.

In the Grand Banks 54, speed and a soft ride unite in a meticulously appointed package, boasting elegant woodwork, ample storage, and clever uses of space. A two-stateroom configuration is ideal for cruising couples while a three-stateroom configuration can be optioned for owners who prefer a small crew.

Bering 70 – $3.68m

Turkish outfit Bering is packing serious value into their expedition-focused hulls, making it a serious contender in the list of best boats under $5 million. The debut model for Bering’s contemporary new coastal series, the 70 has been designed for extensive cruising boasting a rounded displacement hull with a shallow draft perfect for shallow waters.

Built of steel and aluminium – with a wheelhouse designed for utility and optimized for maximum viewability – there’s a real sense of being on a ship, seamlessly intertwined with clean modern interiors, functional food prep, and dining areas, and epic lounging spaces like the large sun pad on the bow. With accommodation for 6 guests and 2 crew and a huge range of 2500 nautical miles at 8 knots, the Bering 70 is a boat you could spend some serious time on.

Pershing 6X – $3.35m

With the Pershing 6X, the brand continues to push what they do best – speed. Her bold, imposing form will do 48 knots flat and cruise at 42 thanks to twin 1,550mhp MAN V12 1550 engines – perfect for jaunts from Sydney to Pittwater. A high-tech helm dominates the main deck saloon with doors that open onto a large rear lounge area and aft sun pad that continues the streamlined profile.

Downstairs are three guests cabins with three bathrooms and an additional shower room, with a single-person crew cabin and integrated bathroom near the cockpit. The bow features an expansive (and inviting) sun pad configuration, perfect for relaxed conversations and hot days in the sun.

Beneteau Grand Trawler 62 – $3.2m

Best known for their sailboats, Beneteau’s Trawler designs have been quietly gaining traction as more buyers prioritise comfort and range. Appropriately sized for eager owner-operators, the new ocean-rated Beneteau Grand Trawler 62 will cover 900NM and has been designed to maximize interior volume, across three or four guest cabins, for families that plan to spend lengthy stints onboard.

The impressive 31 sqm flybridge is one of the largest in its class and benefits from a guest-facing wet bar and retractable roof, as well as tender storage aft. An optional sliding door allows the main deck galley to be closed off, separating owners and crew, whose quarters are located in the concealed lazarette, alongside additional day heads and showers for post bathing.

Y Yachts Y7 – $3.1m

Relative newcomer YYachts was founded by Hanse Yachts founder Michael Schmidt in 2015 with a mission to develop yachts ahead of their time, focusing on builds between 60 and 100 feet in length – where owners communicate their vision directly with the shipyard. Cannes sees three YYachts in attendance, with the smallest Y7 presenting incredible value for what is essentially a scaled-down superyacht, you can sail with ease.

Her contemporary exterior continues into the open plan saloon and three or four cabins, screaming modern apartment rather than a sailboat. An aft deck hatch raises on struts to reveal a garage for a 3.45m RIB and toys that remains watertight when the swim platform is lowered. The level of innovation, tech, and style – for the price – will have prospective buyers swooning over YYachts for many years to come.

Nautor Swan 58 – $2.97m

A brand new number for Nautor Swan, the 58 presents the perfect fusion of safety, comfort, and autonomy in a bluewater cruising yacht, with no more than a couple on board. Designed with both performance and pleasure in mind, the German Frers designed 58 utilises a long coach roof, large windows, and hatches to enhance the feeling of space inside, while a new cockpit design with twin tables connects to form a 10-seat dining table for entertaining larger groups, complemented by an easy access swim platform.

The standard layout offers three guest cabins and three heads, with the possibility to add a guest/crew cabin amidships and an extra crew cabin with heads and a sink in the forepeak. The forward cabin provides owners with a proper suite where they can enjoy some privacy.

The brand also used the show to reveal its first motorboat, the Swan Shadow, which has been designed as a hybrid chase, tender, and day boat.

Pardo E60 Endurance – $2.96m

Perhaps the most interesting addition to this list, the E60 Endurance arrives from Italian sail-turned-dayboat specialists Pardo. With an unforgettable hull, opposing a trawler-style forward-angled window, this modern expedition interpretation boasts high bulwarks for ocean-going safety with incorporated terraces that can be lowered while moored or anchored, converting the aft deck into a giant beach club. The result is a versatile cruiser providing owners with the best of both lifestyle and exploration worlds boasting a range of 750 nautical miles.

Like a typical Italian home, the kitchen is at the heart of the E60 Endurance welcoming guests the moment they step onboard, at one with the outdoor entertaining space. Contemporary interiors not only complement the boat’s dramatic profile but create a serene sense of calm in the full-beam owner’s suite, with a VIP forward and a twin room for family or guests. For many, the E60 Endurance will present as the perfect mix of substance, style, and price.

Absolute 60 Fly – $2.9m

Flying under the radar is Absolute’s revolutionary new 60-foot flybridge, which makes minor tweaks to past and conventional designs to achieve major results in terms of space and layout. By bringing the deckhouse forward they’ve created a voluminous main saloon and kitchen, benefiting from huge windows that run from the windshield to the stern, finishing with a grand aft cockpit and monster swim platform.

The owner’s suite is located in the bow, elevated above the waterline, more secluded and quieter than comparable 60-footers with full-beam masters amidships. A further two cabins are offered for guests with crew accommodation for 2 accessible from a pantograph door camouflaged in the transom.

Privilege Signature 510 – $2.44m

Cats might not be for everyone, but at a price point such as this, you’ll have even the most season monohull loyalists turning their heads. The new Privilège Signature 510 has a striking design, with elegant flush hatches and enlarged deckhouse windows for 360-degree views. It features the largest owner’s cabin in its class, set between the hulls ahead of the deckhouse and with a private companionway from the saloon – a far more interesting layout than its larger 580 sibling.

The new Privilège Signature 510 bluewater sailing catamaran is designed for long-distance cruising and promises the perfect blend of luxury, space, and seaworthiness.

Azimut 53 Flybridge – $2.23

Designed in a simple yet striking black and white – playing positive against negative surfaces – the Azimut 53 Flybridge is optimal weekend boating in a package that’s both affordable and not too overwhelming. The cabin space across its three decks speaks for itself, but it’s the cutting-edge marine engineering that’s worthy of your attention. A double Volvo IPS propulsion system is installed on the hydrodynamic hull shape to offer superior maneuverability, minimum noise, and little vibration.

If you want a skipper, there’s a dedicated cabin for them at the rear. But regular punters are more than capable of piloting the Azimut 53 Flybridge on their own. Intelligent joystick driving with autopilot offers both precision and peace of mind, Garmin’s integrated control system keeps you across all the important information and active trim controls basically do the job for you. A smooth ride with trouble-free handling gives you more time to enjoy the layout of this spacious weekender.

Solaris 60 – $1.6m

The Solaris 60 was inspired by the idea of creating a Mini-Maxi – a new high-performance sailboat for Solaris that will influence the boat builder’s nautical design for the next ten years. The main innovation of the Solaris 60 is the cockpit thanks to its full-width steering wheels.

You can steer the boat without the intrusion of the sprayhood and the jib’s luff is always completely left insight while sailing. Not too big that it’s tough for two people to manage – and not too hefty on the wallet either – the Solaris 60 impresses as much on deck as it does in its ultra wide-beam cabin.

Cranchi A46 Luxury Tender – $1.12m

Any functionality or amenity you could ever ask for on a day boat can likely be found aboard the Cranchi A46. For starters, the entire perimeter of the yacht can be traversed safely on walkable gunwales, without anyone ever having to encounter obstacles. The galley corner is equipped with a stove, sink, refrigerator, and ice machine to enjoy happy hour or meals.

A table is located aft of the bar, offering spacious seating on both sides, and the hard-top roof features a blade system that can be opened in just a few seconds to allow for cuts of light and shade to permeate through the entertaining area. If this wasn’t enough, the bulwarks (sides of the hull towards the rear) can be opened with an electric mechanism to considerably extend the surface area of the cockpit by way of the two terraces jutting out over the water.

Invictus TT460 – $1.1m

Invictus’ TT460 is striking on a number of levels, but it’s the wave-like T-top connected to the windscreen that perfectly protects those in the helm chairs that earned our attention. Made for long sunny days at anchor, The TT460 invites those aboard to exploit the ample deck and dining space on the main deck, and the builder’s trademark gentle reverse sheer bow and beautifully soft lines never get tiresome to look at.

There’s an option to have an open-plan arrangement down below or configure the cabin space with two separate berths – a compelling offering on a boat of this style. A pair of 480 horsepower IPS650s are getting the job done under the waterline, propelling the vessel to a top speed of 35 knots.

Solaris Power 44 – $876k

Solaris’s Power 48 Open was awarded European Powerboat of the Year in 2020, so the inevitable arrival of its smaller sibling was welcome news to fans of the brand – never before has a 44-footer offered so much bang for buck. Some would say the Power 44’s unmistakable design features lines that are more akin to a supercar than common naval architecture often seen on the water.

It might look like the goods, but its expert engineering emphasizes supreme navigation and seaworthiness. In particular, low noise, power consumption, and emissions, for one, but the starry bow, in particular, ensures the boat and its occupants remain dry no matter the conditions.

De Antonio D50 Open – $707,000

The D50 Open from De Antonio has your attention, and rightly so. This advanced island hopper not only looks fantastic but will get you to your swimming spot of choice in record time thanks to its maximum power output of 1800 horsepower and a top speed of 50 knots.

It can be ordered with 2 or 3 cabins, and likewise, you can opt for either two or three bathrooms. The two standouts of the D50 Open are the hydraulic swim platform at the rear and optional 2.5-metre saltwater Jacuzzi at the bow – both of which will be the envy of any yachtsman with a soft spot for entertaining.

Pirelli 35 – $620,000

Designed by the Swedish studio Mannerfelt and built by Tecnorib , the Pirelli 35 is a walkaround speed demon with a double-step hull and gritty lines. It’s available both in outboard and sterndrive variations for those looking for a safe, yet exciting and adrenalin-filled scoot around the Med.

A well-sized bow sundeck and a generous stern sunbathing platform with an adjustable backrest maximise the real estate on offer, while other onboard amenities include a double cabin, a three-section entertaining table, space for a BBQ, drawer fridges, and a sink. Its modern, sporty character and great attention to detail make this a day boat that needs to be considered, as are the wide-ranging customisation options on offer.

X-Power 33 – $441,000

Last but not least, the year 2021 marked a turning point for the Danish manufacturer, X-Yachts, with the launch of its first motorboat, the X-Power 33 C. This 10.2m day boat is infinitely more spacious than might be first thought. There are 3 pilot seats and 8 cockpit sofa seats, with a pantry, burner stove, and two 30-litre drawer fridges behind the wheelhouse for easy-access entertaining up top.

Below deck, you’ll find a toilet with shower facilities, as well as a spacious sleeping cabin for two people. Scandinavian markets might opt to ditch the optional carbon hard-top for maximum sun, but in Australia, you’ll be pleased to know this can also be completed with an integral hood to close out the area entirely from the scorching summer sun if desired. And despite being the most affordable option on this list, it still has an admirable 370 HP Yanmar inboard engine and bow thruster to boot.

All the boats we have listed in this round-up are incredibly safe from the Bluegame BG72 to the X Power 33.

Are bigger boats safer?

Yes, bigger boats are generally safer because they have enclosed spaces and a wider beam, meaning better stability on the seas.

Death Threats And Dropped Trousers: Lamborghini Yacht Owner’s Wild Rant After Being Turned Away From Dock

The owner of a $4.5m lamborghini yacht fired off death threats, threw cash at attendants and dropped their trousers after being turned away from a private dock..

We’ve all been irritated when we miss out on a parking space , right? But have you ever been so annoyed that you started firing off death threats and pulled down your trousers? I thought not. Well, one millionaire did just that after they and their Lamborghini yacht were turned away from a private dock in San Diego.

Ajay Thakore, otherwise known as Ace Rogers, was attempting to dock their Tecnomar Lamborghini 63 yacht at a Marriott Marina in San Diego this weekend, reports local news outlet CBS8 . However, when the businessman was told that this was a private dock and there wasn’t space for his $4.5 million yacht, all hell broke loose.

In video of the incident , the Lamborghini yacht is seen pulling away from the dock in San Diego while a worker, identified as Joseph Holt, stands on. A man on the rear of the boat is then seen unleashing all their fury, as CBS8 reports:

The video showed Rogers standing on the end of his yacht a few feet away from Holt who is standing on the dock. Rogers’ screams echo through the marina. Rogers is heard on the video shouting, “I will kill you. I will kill you. I will kill you.” Holt said Rogers got out his wallet and continued his vicious tirade toward him as he threw $100 bills at him and into the water. “I’m a minimum wage worker, he was commenting on that, on my status just because of my job. He was saying I’m nobody, I’m nothing, I work a silly job. He said that he knows people, he has connections, he can change my life and ruin it,” Holt said.

The outburst is ridiculous, and despite Rogers’ actions, the dock worker does manage to keep things surprisingly cool throughout the whole altercation. But his calm demeanor finally breaks when the trousers are dropped; at that point he rightfully flips Rogers the bird.

After the video began circulating on social media, Rogers was forced into an apology for his actions, releasing a statement that was shared by CBS news:

“The interaction that occurred yesterday was regrettable. What started as a minor misunderstanding escalated into an argument, and I apologize for my actions and to those who witnessed the unfortunate exchange.”

Police were called to the marina following Rogers’ outburst. However, they reportedly arrived on the scene after he had jetted out of there, leaving them just to take statements from onlookers.

California yacht owner threatens to kill dock worker in vicious showdown, cali yacht owner threatens to kill dock worker drops pants for rude salute, 78 3/13/2024 8:09 am pt.

A California yacht owner's vicious beef with a dock worker has reached death-threat levels -- and their exchange was caught on camera and included a nude, and very rude, gesture!

Check out the clip ... it all unfolds when San Diego entrepreneur Ajay Thakore swings by the swanky Marriott Marquis Marina in his rare $4.5M Tecnomar for Lamborghini 63 yacht to pick up one of his employees -- but things boil over when dock worker Joseph Holt tells him he can't be there.

Thakore, the CEO of medical advertising firm Doctor Multimedia, flips out on Holt big time ... and starts spewing threats like, "I will kill you, you know I will kill you, I will kill."

And it doesn't stop there -- as Thakore's pulling out of the harbor, he drops trou to make a full frontal salute in Holt's direction. Stay classy, San Diego!

Holt's only retaliation was flipping the bird, and he later told CBS8 that was all he could do to keep his cool and avoid escalating the situation.

Holt says parts of the altercation were not captured on camera, and he adds ... Thakore not only threatened to kill him, but also claimed to have connections who could totally mess up his life.

Holt also says Thakore pulled out $100 bills and tossed them at him, even chucking some in the water.

BTW, Thakore's done some backpedaling since the ugly exchange -- he now says, "The interaction that occurred yesterday was regrettable. What started as a minor misunderstanding escalated into an argument, and I apologize for my actions and to those who witnessed the unfortunate exchange."

Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.

FWIW ... One of Thakore’s employees claims the whole thing began because other dock workers blocked him from boarding the yacht.

Oh, and if that fancy Lambo yacht looks familiar -- it's the same one Chuck Liddell recently tumbled off just last month. Now it's famous AND infamous!

At the Yacht Club de Monaco the inauguration ceremony of the first Explorer Dock

MONACO, March 21, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Combining adventure and innovation. At the Yacht Club de Monaco the inauguration ceremony of the first Explorer Dock took place, as part of the activities planned for the Ocean Week and under the aegis of the collective ‘Monaco, Capital of Advanced Yachting’ approach. The seven yachts displayed on the quay of the Club, M/Y Beyond Capricorn, M/Y Prometej, M/Y Audace, M/Y King Benji, S/Y NDS Evolution, M/Y U Boat Navigator and M/Y Santandrea, represent the combination of passion for adventure and innovation. Each one is designed to navigate beyond traditional boundaries and face the challenges of the oceans.

Capturing everyone’s attention on the quay was the christening of the brand new M/Y King Benji. Attending the event dedicated to the 46 meters megayacht, built by Dunya Yachts and designed by Greg Marshall, there were many guests alongside with the Yacht Club de Monaco General Secretary Bernard d’Alessandri.

“I am very humbled and proud to be here because it took years to build this yacht. It requires a lot of passion, dedication and team work with Greg Marshall and other designers. And finally she’s here and we’re proud of it,” said Sedat Ergun owner of Dunya Yachts. “We’re thriving to be a custom builder, we’re building many different yachts. Everyone’s different from each other. We love exploration. So when the client came to us, we loved it and we got on well since day one. It actually is a funny story because he came in as a crew member so we didn’t know he was the client. We talked about it and I said ‘we love the project’ and I think he felt the passion about it,” he added. Everything started from a sketch. “I flew to a meeting with the owner and he described what he was looking for and why he couldn’t buy it anywhere in the world. So I pulled out a piece of paper and just started drawing and in the first minutes he said ‘that’s it.’”

“We adjusted the sketches and it was just what you see here and it never happens. The boat is what I’d design for myself. We had a full-sized mock up build of the boat so we could walk through it 4-5 years ago. And now to see it here surrounded by the Yacht Club it just makes your skin tingle,” said Greg Marshall. From the famous naval architect pencil also came out the M/Y Artefact, that won the YCM Explorer Award in 2022.

Meanwhile everything’s ready for the Environmental Symposium. A day of conference for the industry, owners & captains, taking place on Thursday the 20th of March, organised in collaboration with The Explorer’s Club of New York. A large delegation from the US is visiting the Club and taking part not only in all the ‘explorer’ activities on the quay but also in regattas, sailing experiences involving for example the YCM flagship Tuiga. In the afternoon it will be time for the Explorer Awards by La Belle Classe Superyachts. The aim is to recognise owners who take their environmental responsibilities seriously. The major criteria for these awards are the owner’s conception of their superyacht, how they use it and what it can do for humanity. It could be a technical innovation that significantly reduces the yacht’s CO2 emissions, the assistance given to scientists, or just an ability to pass on and share adventures at sea so that many more people come to respect, love and protect the Ocean.

On Thursday and Friday the Monaco Smart Yacht Rendezvous also will be on. Organised in partnership with the Prince Albert II of Monaco Foundation and YCM, it is a natural extension of the Monaco Smart & Sustainable Marina Rendezvous.

Step on board the 162.5m Eclipse - the second largest superyacht in the world

Designer Terry Disdale talks us through the four and a half years, nine decks and 162.5 metres of the world’s second largest superyacht.

Terry Disdale didn’t set out to design the biggest superyacht in the world. “No one ever said to me, ‘I want a 160 metre boat’,” he says over breakfast near his office in Richmond, London. “When the yacht was still on the drawing board, there was a rumour going round that someone was building an even bigger boat, and the owner was asked if he knew about it. He said he didn’t, and that he didn’t care. Breaking records was the farthest thing from his mind.”

What he did care about was helicopters – he wanted to carry more than one; and the pool – it had to be big. There were also some early discussions about low bulwarks and big windows, and that was the totality of the brief for what would become Eclipse . “To be given free rein is actually a dreadful thing,” says Disdale.  “I asked myself what I wanted: something timeless. How do you design something timeless that’s still going to look good and not be anaemic? It’s so easy to get carried away, but you’ve got to be able to look at it in 20 years and decide it still looks OK.” But that’s the trick, isn’t it? And the measure of a designer.

• The 25 largest yachts in the world

At least Disdale had some hooks on which to hang the design. “Part of what creates the yacht looking like that is you’ve got to land this huge helicopter on the front, so the superstructure is pushed back. The formation of the boat is built around helicopter usage. And we didn’t want the boat to look unbalanced when the helicopter is on the foredeck. Some boats have a foredeck that looks wrong whenever a helicopter sits there.”

The lines of the boat were dictated by another prerequisite: the two significant lifeboats demanded by Solas. The sheerline runs straight aft from the bow and steps up amidships, the high freeboard created giving visual support to the lifeboats. “If you’d had a different sheerline, the lifeboats wouldn’t have looked comfortable,” the designer says. This, plus the addition of a 15 metre pool aft on the main deck, meant that the overall length of Eclipse – 162.5 metres – was defined not by ego but by practicality.

“Everyone thinks that a boat starts with a sketch, some glamorous visual of the outside of the boat. But that’s not how things work in my office – we start with a plan, a general arrangement.” The project, from this first design stage to the boat’s launch at Blohm+Voss ’s Hamburg yard in 2009, took four and a half years – a remarkable achievement given the scale of the yacht, which was only overtaken as the world’s biggest in 2013 with the launch of 180 metre Azzam . 

Up to 20 engineers from Blue Ocean Yacht Management were present on site throughout the build, whipping it along to meet the aggressive delivery schedule. Disdale doesn’t recall any sleepless nights – “at least, no more than usual!” he laughs. The pressure of designing what was then the world’s top yacht – both inside and out – did obviously register, though. “It’s a huge responsibility building something of that magnitude, which is going to be under everyone’s magnifying glass. It’s not just ‘doing a job’, this thing is going to be scrutinised and analysed by everyone. There’s a responsibility to yourself as a designer.”

A decade from delivery, and more than 15 years from the moment Disdale first put pen to paper, he says he wouldn’t change a thing – and nor has the owner, who has kept Disdale’s designs largely unchanged. “For me, it’s more a clean piece of architecture than it is a piece of styling. The fact that you have a helipad on the front creates the superstructure to bow dimension, which is beautiful. If it wasn’t there, you wouldn’t have that length. And then when you get to the back of the boat, the swimming pool is dictating another piece of the story. I don’t know what I would change now. I don’t sit around saying, ‘I wish I did this or that’. Maybe I’d make the rear end look a bit more inviting, the way the staircases lead into the boat, but anti-piracy was a concern, plus there are a load of services and facilities back there. There’s a full-size pantry to serve the beach club, which very few boats have, and gull-wing doors with a pullout barbecue and pizza oven. There’s a lot you don’t see.”

Disdale’s long experience in the business means he is able to resist the temptation to force designs, or slavishly follow trends that flare and fade, leaving boats looking old before their time. “ Eclipse is a handsome boat, and it looks like a boat. It doesn’t make any pretence,” he says. “The key word is elegance. Very few boats can make that claim any more. Modern boats are purposeful, aggressive, macho, which has led to them all having snub noses. They look angry. You could paint them grey and stick a cannon on the front and it wouldn’t upset their stance at all. Eclipse is not like that.” It’s a familiar sermon from Disdale, who famously posts his 10 “design commandments” up round his office. “One of  the most important tools in your box is restraint. I can have complete freedom when designing a superstructure, but restraint is actually the most important thing – knowing when to stop gilding the lily. Don’t gild it! Use silver leaf.”

• Inside the Surrey home of legendary superyacht designer Terence Disdale  

The obvious benefit of a single designer being responsible for the interior and exterior of a yacht is a seamless flow between the two, and that is absolutely true of Eclipse , whose interior conforms to another one of Disdale’s mantras: “ beach house not penthouse ”. “If you’ve got a dining room with satin on the chairs and gold braid around them, but you live in a T-shirt and shorts, then you’re not comfortable,” he says. 

The pool is a vast entertaining space, with 3.2 metre overheads and a retracting glass sunroof. “The ambience of the pool is as important as how it looks. You’ve got to want to sit by it.” Or dance on it: the blue granite bottom of the pool rises up to sit flush with the deck. It can also be lowered a touch to create a paddling pool.

The interior of any boat should be about “pure relaxation”, says Disdale. “People are on vacation, people are chilled.” He relates one story of an Arab client in the 1980s, who he dissuaded from fitting gold taps to his superyacht. “I told him he already had a 65 metre on the quay – he had already made his statement. It was a process of trying to quieten his ostentation.” You get the feeling no such effort was needed with the owner of Eclipse . “He had already owned three yachts to our design, so consequently was very familiar with my way of working and the habitat I create.” It’s impossible to miss the very deliberate warmth of that habitat and a design miracle that, despite using broadly the same colour palette throughout, nowhere do you tire of the ochre-like shades. 

This uniformity wasn’t applied to the lobbies between decks: different artists were tasked with creating unique works to give each lobby a flavour, so there is no confusion about what deck you’re on – a problem when you have nine. One of these pieces is a wooden sculpture made up of seven pieces, the design for which was hand drawn by Disdale and sent to Japan for manufacture. It’s a stunning work and symptomatic of the detail shown throughout – even in more mundane pieces, like the sideboards in the cabins that were designed in Europe and crafted in Chile.

With no clear-cut brief on the yacht’s layout, Disdale was forced to second-guess, “but that’s my job”, he says. “You have to work out how people will move around the boat.” The benefit of an LOA like Eclipse ’s is the owner can swallow serious acreage without impacting the guest experience. It’s not about avoiding guests, but being able to operate independently of them.

It would be easy to mistake the guest suites for the owner’s own quarters, such is their footprint. There are 18 guest cabins in total, served by 100 crew. From the moment the guests arrive by chopper, mainly on the top helideck, they’re absorbed in the comfort of the boat and have access to the main stairwell and elevator. It’s a transition of which Disdale is particularly proud. “It came from understanding how a boat is used. When you get out of the helicopter, you’re blown to pieces, and then where do you go?” The answer is an intimate lounge, where you can freshen up before entering the interior proper. It also gives pilots somewhere to conduct safety briefings, he points out. Eclipse is able to travel with multiple helicopters on board because one can be housed in the forward hangar, one above it on the retractable platform and another on the sundeck.

At the other extremity of the boat, the convenience continues with a huge bathing platform and staircases that fold down into the water for easy boarding – even for those wearing full dive gear. The beach club wasn’t maxed out, with a comfortable lounge along the centreline preferred to a big open area that is harder to secure. Beyond, though, the lower deck opens up into a huge 77 square metre gym and spa area, complete with massage room, beauty salon, sauna, shower areas and the yacht’s second plunge pool. Visual interest is added by banks of portholes with views into the swimming pool, which dapple light across this whole space. Choosing somewhere to relax on deck is slightly harder – where do you start? The options are endless but special mention has to be made of the wood-burning fire pit on the upper deck – perfect for nights on deck under the stars.

Disdale and his team were present in June 2009 when the boat appeared from the giant drydock in Hamburg. No butterflies – he claims to have been pretty zen about seeing her free of scaffolding and plastic. “Although you design every part of it and you see it being built, nothing prepares you for the feeling you get when you actually see it in the flesh. The tug pulled it out and there was the thickness of a mattress between the wing stations and the shed walls. Literally – they tied mattresses to the stations. When it appeared I was gobsmacked.” As was the owner, pleasingly for the man who’d dedicated nearly five years to the project.

“It’s like cars,” explains the car fanatic. “I was talking about Lamborghinis the other day. They used to have the Miura, a beautiful car. But they replaced it with the Countach, which looks like it was carved from cheese. One is ageless and one looks stuck in time. Elegance is the most important thing. The Miura is elegant, the Jaguar E-Type is elegant.” He’s too modest to say but Eclipse belongs in that league – beautiful for ever.

Strange Glow Over Moscow Skies Triggers Panic as Explosions Reported

B right flashes lit up the night sky in southern Moscow in the early hours of Thursday morning, new footage appears to show, following reports of an explosion at an electrical substation on the outskirts of the city.

Video snippets circulating on Russian-language Telegram channels show a series of flashes on the horizon of a cloudy night sky, momentarily turning the sky a number of different colors. In a clip shared by Russian outlet MSK1.ru, smoke can be seen rising from a building during the flashes lighting up the scene.

Newsweek was unable to independently verify the details of the video clips, including when and where it was filmed. The Russian Ministry of Emergency situations has been contacted via email.

Several Russian Telegram accounts said early on Thursday that residents of southern Moscow reported an explosion and a fire breaking out at an electrical substation in the Leninsky district, southeast of central Moscow.

Local authorities in the Leninsky district told Russian outlet RBC that the explosion had happened in the village of Molokovo. "All vital facilities are operating as normal," Leninsky district officials told the outlet.

The incident at the substation in Molokovo took place just before 2 a.m. local time, MSK1.ru reported.

Messages published by the ASTRA Telegram account, run by independent Russian journalists, appear to show residents close to the substation panicking as they question the bright flashes in the sky. One local resident describes seeing the bright light before losing access to electricity, with another calling the incident a "nightmare."

More than 10 villages and towns in the southeast of Moscow lost access to electricity, the ASTRA Telegram account also reported. The town of Lytkarino to the southeast of Moscow, lost electricity, wrote the eastern European-based independent outlet, Meduza.

Outages were reported in the southern Domodedovo area of the city, according to another Russian outlet, as well as power failures in western Moscow. Electricity was then restored to the areas, the Strana.ua outlet reported.

The cause of the reported explosion is not known. A Telegram account aggregating news for the Lytkarino area described the incident as "an ordinary accident at a substation."

The MSK1.ru outlet quoted a local resident who speculated that a drone may have been responsible for the explosion, but no other Russian source reported this as a possible cause.

Ukraine has repeatedly targeted Moscow with long-range aerial drones in recent months, including a dramatic wave of strikes in late May.

On Sunday, Moscow Mayor Sergei Sobyanin said the region's air defense systems had intercepted an aerial drone over the city of Elektrostal, to the east of Moscow. No damage or casualties were reported, he said.

The previous day, Russian air defenses detected and shot down another drone flying over the Bogorodsky district, northeast of central Moscow, Sobyanin said.

There is currently no evidence that an aerial drone was responsible for the reported overnight explosion at the electrical substation in southern Moscow.
