The ‘Tropical Island Paradise’ superyacht is a 90m motor yacht design which is the second proposal by Yacht Island Design, following on from their 115m SWATH Streets of Monaco superyacht design . The 90m Tropical Island Paradise design has a theme that is centred around a secluded island paradise, with elements inspired by the islands of the Caribbean , Indian Ocean and Polynesia .

The Tropical Island Paradise motor yacht design has an overall length of 90m (295ft), with a beam of 33m (108ft), a draft of 8m (26ft. The super yacht is designed to accommodate 10 charter guests. The hull will be constructed of steel with the super structure a mixture of aluminium and FRP. The Tropical Island Paradise vessel will be able to attain a maximum speed of 15 knots propelled by a diesel electrical power plant.

The exterior of the Tropical Island Paradise yacht was designed to give the impression of waves breaking around a volcanic island, whilst maintaining the look of a contemporary yacht design.

The main exterior deck is a private beach “cove” with a voluminous ocean view swimming pool located forward that is fed by a stream emanating from a cascading waterfall on the volcano further aft. A number of private cabanas nestled between palm trees line the edge of the large pool providing a relaxing outlook over the pool and ocean beyond. Behind these cabanas there is a bar area, communal seating area and an area for al fresco dining. The aft deck of the superyacht is a dedicated helicopter landing platform.

A distinctive feature of this Tropical Island Paradise megayacht is the deployable floating beach islands, giving a sea level platform from which to enjoy water activities, sunbathing or relaxing in one of the floating cabanas.

The super yacht will be able to accommodate up to 10 charter guests.  The themed yacht Tropical Island Paradise features an owner’s suite located inside the volcano and spread over two decks. Its living room balcony affords views out over the front of the yacht from behind the waterfall. Located behind the owners bedroom is the owner’s private spa and balcony.

The remaining cabins include four VIP suites featuring private balconies and direct access up into the main deck cabanas.

A full range of entertainment options is also catered for onboard with a cinema, library, games room and gym. A fully equipped spa and a multitude of lounges each offering their own unique ambiance provides the ideal escape you would expect from a ‘Tropical Island Paradise’.

The superyacht design Tropical Island Paradise would make an excellent charter yacht as you would not have to travel long distances to reach Tropical Island Paradises as you would already be on one.

How the Lush Caribbean Island of Dominica Became a Superyacht Haven

The verdant island is everything you want a little-known locale to be. no wonder yacht owners are reluctant to spread the word., by michael verdon.

• Share This Article

Sixteen years ago, Hubert Winston was standing on a beach in Dominica’s Prince Rupert Bay, watching a string of yachts sail by in the distance. “It looked like a flotilla,” recalls Winston, who had just moved back to the island from Florida.

“They were traveling between Martinique and Guadeloupe, but not one of them ever stopped here. I didn’t understand that. We had so much to offer.”

With no marinas or international airport, the lush, mountainous island represented a big X on superyacht charts. Captains were reluctant to venture to Dominica in case they had engine problems or couldn’t find a decent anchorage. They’d rather visit its French neighbors, with plenty of marinas, than gamble with the unknown, alluring as the green island looked from the distance.

Even now Dominica remains a tightly held secret among superyacht owners. It turns out that the crews—typically young, restless and adventurous—started going to the island for R&R, then informed their owners about what an unspoiled paradise it is. Nicknamed the “Nature Island,” it offers a natural bounty of mountain terrain, rainforests, dormant volcanoes and coastal reefs that is unparalleled in the Caribbean . The locals provide the same authentic welcome—a bit cautious but unmistakable—I experienced on other islands 30 years ago, before it evaporated with modern development and stock-market booms. No condo commandos have invaded Dominica, thanks to its relative inaccessibility.

That aura of untouched remoteness has proven to be a siren song for superyachts, which typically gather in Prince Rupert Bay and smaller, more intimate anchorages, where the only other vessels are a few sailboats and the local fishing fleet, with its brightly colored wooden hulls.

Named by Christopher Columbus, who first sighted it on his second voyage to the hemisphere, in 1493, Dominica was colonized by the French and then traded back and forth between France and England across the 18th century. Gallic vestiges endure, though the few fortresses on the water were built by the British to repel French attacks. The country gained full independence from the UK in 1978. Prized for its bananas, grapefruit and oranges, it has otherwise remained a largely unspoiled Eden. “Rustic charm,” cliché as it sounds, describes the island perfectly. Waterfront cafés with names like Keepin’ it Real and Cocoyea serve seafood caught from nearby bays and just-picked tropical-fruit juices. Scenes from Pirates of the Caribbean were filmed across the island because of its unsullied beauty.

Dominica “is for a certain kind of client who loves to experience nature up close and personal,” says Gina Robertson, a charter broker with Fraser Yachts , ticking off adventure experiences that include canyoning, kayaking and hiking nature trails. In Dominica’s favor: It’s not the same old same old. “Nowadays, charterers don’t want to do just the milk runs, and many are on extended charters, so will have more time to explore islands in depth.”

Andrew “Cobra” O’Brien was one of the pioneers who introduced Dominica to the superyacht community. To compete with other islands, which have bustling marinas providing all manner of conveniences, he founded Cobra Tours & Yacht Services , offering fuel, provisions and mechanic services, as well as customs clearance and private tours of the island. Cobra Tours was instrumental in opening up Dominica by demonstrating that, even without a marina, seafarers would be well cared for. “We used to go to yacht shows in Monaco and Ft. Lauderdale to spread the word about what a great destination Dominica is,” he says. His firm joined professional groups, including the International Superyacht Society, to help bolster the island’s reputation among charter brokers. “Last season was the best for superyachts we’d ever had. We serviced 30 or 40 of them.”

Often, he adds, they come after having their fill of shopping and upscale restaurants on Antigua or St. Barts. “Now 95 percent of the yachts don’t just stumble on Dominica,” O’Brien says. “It’s a destination.”

Several other firms that supply visiting vessels have emerged, including Winston’s Dominica Yacht Services. Winston, who worked in Florida’s marine industry, among other things, before returning to his homeland, saw an untapped market. “There was a disconnect back then, but we got the word out to the yachting world,” he says. “We changed the whole notion of getting stuck in Dominica.”

The island has since attracted the late Paul Allen’s 414-foot Octopus , Nat Rothschild’s Planet Nine, Andrey Melnichenko’s 390-foot Motor Yacht A and the late Steve Jobs’s Venus, among others. Bill Gates, Robert De Niro and Edward Norton have been spotted on superyacht tenders in Prince Rupert Bay. Five-star resorts, including Secret Bay and Cabrits Resort & Spa , with a pier on Douglas Bay , have welcomed yacht owners to their bars and restaurants.

Pre-Covid, of course. The rules have changed, with a negative PCR test required 24 to 72 hours before arrival; a visitor also takes a rapid test upon arrival, and it must be negative to enter. Then the visitor must quarantine at a government-designated spot and take yet another test on day five. If the results are negative, one is free to go anywhere. For owners or charter guests with time constraints, sitting on the yacht for six days is a non-starter, especially with that stunning but untouchable backdrop. But in Dominica, the notion of quarantine isn’t quite so rigid as elsewhere. The authorities have set up the “Safe in Nature” program, in which visitors may stay at some of the island’s most exclusive resorts and see the approved sights (the best on the island) with a private, Covid-certified guide. Not every resort allows guests off-property, but the two where I stayed— Secret Bay Resort at the north end and Jungle Bay Resort & Spa at the south—do. I was not only able to move relatively freely around the island but also to transfer between the two resorts over the six days.

Covid or not, Dominica remains largely undiscovered compared to the heavily boated islands. With 260 square miles of hills and mountains, and the majority of its population of 74,000 living on the coast, most of the interior is rural or undeveloped. “Everybody has cruised the [British Virgin Islands],” says Winston. “We have something different, something special. Guests just fall in love with our serenity.”

For yachts, the action is concentrated at the northern and southern ends. Bays on the north side of the island offer sublime, light-blue water, wide-open anchorages and easy access to the town of Portsmouth by tender. The bays often live up to their names. With its two beaches and reef colored by tropical fish, Secret Bay really is. Even though it’s just around the corner from the much busier Prince Rupert Bay, captains tend to avoid it because of exposure to shifting winds, and instead drop anchor on its edge and send in tenders.

North of Prince Rupert Bay, the road follows a string of more bays—Douglas, Toucari, Marceau and Connor—that make postcard-perfect anchorages, with inland destinations like Cold Sulphur Springs (a dormant volcano crater that emits caramel-colored, sulphur-infused water) and Chaudiere Pool , a 30-foot-deep pool beneath a waterfall, being among the north’s natural wonders. Four-wheeling up narrow mountain roads to Chaudiere, we pass tiny farms with pineapples and coconuts. Around every corner there’s another exceptional ocean view.

For a relatively small island, Dominica has diverse terrain. The Indian River is like an Amazon tributary, with slow-moving brackish water and thick vegetation on the banks. I spend a few hours with “Fire,” a fiftysomething Rastafarian, rowing a handmade red, yellow and green wooden boat upstream. Fire recites the English, Creole and French names for virtually every tree and flower we pass. At the top, we stop at a plantation, a sign at the empty café reading: time stands still at the bush bar. That’s the feeling I have all week.

The number of outsiders visiting Dominica is a sliver of what it would be during a normal season, so I seem to have the river—and almost every- thing else—to myself. At Secret Bay resort, with its focus on privacy—there are just 10 villas, all overlooking the ocean—I have a private-chef experience with Fábio Fernandes . The resort’s executive chef is a Lisbon native who trained at a Michelin-star restaurant in Portugal and worked at award winners in Austria, Africa and the UK. He plans daily menus around me, as I dine alone on the open terrace of the Zing Zing Restaurant . Fernandes uses locally sourced tuna and kingfish, not to mention farm-to-table vegetables, and elevates them many levels, with creative presentations and fusions of unlikely ingredients. His signature Zero Miles Tuna, with sustainable ingredients, blends sushi-grade fish, shado beni emulsion, mango and ginger gels, and pumpkin puree.

The southern part of the island is all about the water, even inland. Trafalgar Falls , Titou Gorge and Boiling Lake practically beg to be photographed and shared, while the southwestern corner is one of the world’s highest-ranked dive and snorkeling sites. The area south of Champagne Beach down to the protected arm of land at Scott’s Head is part of the Soufrière–Scott’s Head Marine Reserve, so yachts must anchor north in L’Anse Bateau. Visitors also have to hire local guides for diving and snorkeling. The reserve is mostly a haven for reef fish, but pods of dolphins and even sperm whales are occasional visitors.

“With good conditions, visibility is 80 feet below the surface,” says Weefers Jules, my guide from Jungle Bay resort, who has been a Dominica dive master for 20 years. With a front having just passed through, the usually clear waters of Champagne Reef —so named because the volcanic gases venting through fissures form bubbles—are muddied, so we kayak to L’abym, or the Abyss, below Witch’s Point, where the shoreline reef transitions into a vertical wall that drops 1,000 feet. The water is cool, and wind gusts are pushing us offshore a bit, but the fins propel me through the reef. Schools of sergeant majors, doctor fish, angelfish and spotted moray eels swim around us, while a few stingrays flee into the deep. A hundred yards away, a group is free-diving.

With thousands of dives under his belt, Jules says he never tires of the marine life in Soufrière Bay , the island’s dividing line between the calm Caribbean Sea and the much fiercer Atlantic. Within a relatively small space, the Soufrière reserve—an UNESCO World Heritage Site—offers a half-dozen world-class dives, such as Scott’s Head Pinnacle, beginning with a rock formation called Swiss Cheese, and leading to a volcanic crater that drops as far as 2,000 feet at the center. “There are hundreds of soldier fish at the entrance,” he says. “When you turn sideways, there are lobsters and eels in the walls’ cracks.” At the northern edge of the Soufrière crater, five underwater peaks called Dangleben’s Pinnacles host plenty of reef fish and also offer glimpses of turtles and horse-eye jacks.

The Atlantic side of Dominica has yet more dive sites, including the spectacular Mountain Top, and the northern end of the island has nearly a dozen others, including one, called Elephant’s Ass, so secluded that most locals don’t even know about it. There are also opportunities to swim with sperm whales. Because of Covid-related cancellations, the nearly three-year wait for the experience can be closer to a few weeks.

After snorkeling, I return to Jungle Bay, my home on the southern end of the island. It’s an eco-resort with private villas built of local wood and stone, two yoga studios, a restaurant overlooking the water and a Zen-like spa. Nature trails, banana plants and stone walls, plus a large Buddha, define the resort. Like Secret Bay, it’s an ocean sanctuary.

That feeling of sanctuary, with a heightened sense of exclusivity, is ultimately what attracts superyacht owners to Dominica. And why they’re not telling their friends.

Jason Donovan spotted living it up on a super yacht with soap star daughter

The former Neighbours star was seen living it up as he took a break from his stage show in Sydney.

Lleyton and Bec’s daughter, 18, stuns

Aussie legend Jason Donovan has been spotted soaking up the sun on a superyacht with his soap star daughter, Jemma.

Donovan, 55, who recently returned Down Under to perform in The Rocky Horror Picture Show , was spotted sunning himself on the glamorous yacht in Sydney Harbor on Monday afternoon.

The father-of-three looked carefree as he enjoyed the beautiful scenery while enjoying some bonding time together with 24-year-old Jemma.

At one point the Aussie actor and singer was seen taking a moment for himself and snapping a shirtless selfie as the sun shone down on the yacht.

Jemma previously followed in her dad’s legendary footsteps after appearing in Neighbours between 2019 and 2022.

However, she eventually ditched Australia for the UK and joined Channel 4 soap Hollyoaks where she met her boyfriend, co-star Owen Warner.

Donovan also currently lives in the UK with his wife Angela, but he regularly makes the trip back Down Under.

It comes after the reformed drug addict recently made an honest confession about his past.

In an interview with The Guardian, Donovan shared the one thing he would change about his past if he could go back in time.

“My relationship with drugs,” he confessed.

Back in 2021, Donovan confessed that he had secretly smoked marijuana on the set of the soap Neighbours during a break in filming.

Donovan, who played Scott Robinson, snuck round the back of Lassisters, the soap’s fictional hotel, to light up with co-star David Clencie.

But Donovan was caught out when he was suddenly called to appear in a scene.

The 52-year-old revealed: “One afternoon, when I had finished all my scenes for the day, David asked me whether I wanted to share a joint with him.

“I’d never smoked at work before but this was all too tempting.”

“We were sitting on the ground, smoking, laughing and getting progressively more stoned, when I suddenly heard my name called. I was wanted on set! There had been a change to the schedule.

More Coverage

“Having stubbed out my doobie, cleaned my teeth in the make-up room, put eye drops into my eyes and dusted myself down, I went back onto set.

“I tried to act as normally as possible, but it was an absolute disaster,” he continued.

“My head was a complete fog, my mouth was dry, my eyes were so pinned they looked like p***holes in the snow, I couldn’t remember any of my lines and I kept banging into people.”

The daughter of one of the world’s most successful rappers has just celebrated her bachelorette party and she looks incredible.

Long estranged from her famous father, as she turns 18 Suri Cruise faces a huge choice about which direction her life will now take.

The daughter of two very famous Australians has been spotted living her best life in Sydney.

Captain Sandy Yawn on Celebs ‘Blacklisted’ From Luxury Yachts

By Jonah Wardell

Content warning: This article contains brief mention of sexual assault .

Captain Sandy Yawn has seen her fair share of scraps , both on and off Below Deck Mediterranean . Luckily, she has yet to encounter a situation where a guest put a crew member in danger.

Unfortunately, that wasn’t the case for a recent charter boat that hosted Diddy’s son, Christian “King” Combs. A yacht worker recently accused the rapper’s son of sexual assault.

With this event in the zeitgeist, one news outlet wondered what the Captain’s responsibility was in cases of guest-on-crew violence.

Captain Sandy’s reflections on guest misbehavior

Captain Sandy recently sat down for an interview with NewsNation. Sandy came on to discuss what to do when things got out of hand on a yacht. The news of Diddy’s son prompted the conversation. “The Captain’s primary job is the safety of the crew and the guests,” Sandy shared. “In any case that I feel like my crew are threatened, immediately, we can end the charter.”

From there, the boat would head back to the dock and the crew would contact the authorities. After that, an investigation would follow. However, Sandy said she never experienced such a scenario personally. In her experience, situations between crew members were more likely than situations between a crewmate and an employee.

The reporter then wondered what might happen if a situation escalated while out on the water. “We just throw them overboard,” Sandy joked. “We haven’t experienced that,” she said again. She reemphasized that dangerous situations were “Rare. Most clients are really respectful of the crew.”

She continued, “You know, there’s a lot of guests that are blacklisted.” She revealed that captains and brokers talk with each other about guests. “There’s a lot of celebrities that we do not charter to. Because they trash the boat, they’re rude to the crew, and they’re blacklisted.” Of course, Sandy could not reveal which celebrities specifically the yachts blacklisted.

The arraignment was interrupted several times on Zoom by people watching, including a woman who said she was the grandmother of the children who were killed.

Raquel Smothers, the aunt of the three children also spoke during the arraignment in person saying, "We were supposed to be planning a birthday party for Zayn not a funeral."

"They walked into that birthday party having a fun time. They were sitting at that table eating and this woman crashed her car through this building destroying all of our lives," she added.

Community members have been stopping by the Swan Boat Club paying their respects to the victims of the crash.

A small memorial has been set up outside the building.

“We couldn’t believe it. We still can’t believe it,” said Ed Wenderski, a Berlin Township resident.

At around 3 p.m. on Saturday, tragedy struck at the Swan Boat Club in Berlin Township.

According to the Monroe County Sheriff’s Office, a 66-year-old woman who was intoxicated crashed her SUV into the side of a building.

VIDEO: Watch Monroe County Sheriff Troy Goodnough provide an update after the tragedy:

There was a child’s birthday party happening at the time of the crash.

At least 15 people were injured. An 8-year-old girl and her 5 year-old brother both died.

“Everybody’s sad. My wife was crying,” Wenderski said. “We just feel sorry for you, in our prayers.”

Wenderski lives down the street from the boat club.

He says his son’s pickup truck was hit on Saturday. He believes it was by the same driver who crashed into the boat club.

“I don’t know if you can see the tire tracks. His back tire was probably right here… We think it got pushed back by 12 feet,” Wenderski said.

I also spoke with another neighbor who was out with his young daughter as she was riding her bike.

He had this message for the victims’ family.

“Absolutely heartbreaking. It’s just a terrible tragedy. We are very sorry for your losses and you are in our thoughts and prayers,” Steve Cybulla of Berlin Township resident said.

The two siblings who were killed in the crash were students of Flat Rock Community Schools.

The district sent out a letter regarding the situation, here’s some of what it said.

It is with a heavy heart that I reach out to you today following the tragic events that unfolded yesterday. A senseless accident occurred where a drunk driver crashed into Swan Creek Boat Club, resulting in the loss of two siblings who were students in our school (Early Childhood Center, Bobcean Elementary) and severe injuries of a third sibling (Simpson Middle School). Our entire school community is reeling from this devastating news, and our hearts ache for the families and loved ones of those affected by this unimaginable tragedy. Words cannot adequately express the depth of our sorrow, nor can they ease the pain of those who are grieving. Please know that our thoughts and prayers are with every one of you during this incredibly difficult time. In times of tragedy, it is essential that we come together as a community to support one another. Now, more than ever, we must extend our compassion and solidarity to those who need it most. As we navigate through this challenging time, let us lean on each other for strength and comfort, and let us show kindness and understanding to all who are affected by this heartbreaking loss. When our students return to school on Monday, our counselors and social workers will be on hand to provide support and assistance to any students and families who may need it. We are committed to creating a safe and nurturing environment where everyone feels supported, heard, and valued as we begin the healing process together.

The suspect is currently being held at the Monroe County Jail.

The sheriff’s office is also investigating a local bar where the woman possibly may have been prior to the crash.

An attorney representing Verna's Tavern told 7 News that the suspect was at the establishment between 11 am and noon Saturday, more than hours before the deadly crash. He added that the woman's order was reportedly just over seven dollars and included a glass of wine and chili.

Attorney John McManus released the following statement on behalf of Verna's Tavern:

"We are saddened beyond words by the news of this horrible tragedy. Our most sincere thoughts and prayers go out to all those that lost their lives, their family members, witnesses and all of our Community that is in pain due to this incident. We ask for patience during the investigation and that the Justice system be allowed to work to uncover the actual facts surrounding the accident."
