APOGEE • L: 205'0" Y: 2003
Expected to be
delivered about the time you’re reading this, Apogee is the
latest in a series of similar-size yachts to emerge from Codecasa. She
features six guest staterooms and is capable of a 6,000-NM range at 14
knots. We’ve heard that the owner is the same person who used to
own a Broward named Cartouche. B: Codecasa, Italy; N: Builder; H:
Steel; E: 2/2,260-hp Caterpillars

LADY LOLA • L: 205'0" Y: 2002
Just because you’re
both an avid golfer and an avid boater doesn’t mean you can’t
enjoy your passions simultaneously. Take a page from the book of Duane
Hagadone. The Idaho resident, who built a media empire stretching from
New Jersey to Hawaii, has a driving range on the aft portion of the yacht’s
sundeck, and floating pins help him perfect his swings. Lest you think
he’s polluting pristine anchorages with golf balls, the ones he uses
are made to float and are equipped with special electronic devices that
let him retrieve them via remote control. B: Oceanco, South Africa/Holland;
N: The “A” Group-Monte Carlo SAM; H: Steel; E: 2/2,000-hp Caterpillars

CAKEWALK • L: 203'5" Y: 2000
If ever there
were a good argument for dining alfresco, Cakewalk presents one:
Her aft deck dining area is larger than the dining room inside. After
dessert, guests probably race each other to the six below-decks staterooms,
each named for a different region of the world, with decors that evoke
suitable moods. The China Sea, for example, has fabrics featuring reclining
pandas and Asian men jumping rope. Or maybe guests practice their best
Scarlett O’Hara as they descend the spiral staircase that rises through
all four decks. B: Feadship/Royal Van Lent Shipyard, Holland; N: H.W.

MYLIN IV • L: 200'0" Y: 1992
The Arison family
of Carnival Cruise Lines fame spend their leisure time onboard this Feadship.
They—as well as guests such as Pat Riley, coach of the Miami Heat
basketball team, which Mickey Arison owns—have enjoyed her luxurious
accommodations in ports of call ranging from South Florida to St. Tropez.

MÉDUSE • L: 198'10" Y: 1996
Paul Allen’s
third yacht on our list (see nos. 1, 3) is also the second Feadship he
purchased. Given her nearly 199 feet of length, you’d certainly expect
her to be well laid out; but what you might not expect is the extraordinary
headroom, enough for seven-foot-plus-tall members of the Portland Trailblazers
basketball team, which Allen also owns, to comfortably move around. Should
a vertically challenged individual be aboard and be unfortunate enough
to sit behind one of the basketball players in the main-deck cinema, fear
not: The rear settee can raise hydraulically. A Surround Sound system
enhances the viewing experience. B: Feadship/De Vries Scheepsbouw,
Holland; N: De Voogt Naval Architects; H: Steel; E: 2/1,700-hp Caterpillars

PARAFFIN • L: 197'2" Y: 2001
While owners always
have a say in the design elements that go into their yachts, Mike and
Lisa Kittredge literally took the helm of designing their yacht’s
interior. They wanted to be able to entertain several dozen people with
just a day’s notice, so the galley and dining/relaxation areas are
set up with this in mind. (The 400-bottle wine “cellar” certainly
helps, too.) A recording studio is in the bridge-deck lounge, but if it’s
just too lovely to stay inside, all the instruments can be plugged in
on the main deck aft or the bridge deck. The yacht’s name was inspired
by the business Mike founded, Yankee Candle Company. B: Feadship/Royal
Van Lent Shipyard, Holland; N: H.W. De Voogt Naval Architects; H: Steel;
E: 2/2,000-hp Caterpillars
16.
INTUITION II • L: 193'7" Y: 1974/1999
Intuition II
is a familiar sight in Sag Harbor, New York, as her owner, Pat Malloy,
also owns the marina. In recent months she’s been in Bristol, England,
and Gallway, Ireland. Intuition II charters for $145,000 plus expenses
per week. B: Amels, Holland/Vosper Thornycroft (UK), England; N: Builder;
H: Steel; E: 1/1,330-hp Smit Slikkerveer electric motor and 3/650-hp Deutz-MWMs
17.
CALIXE • L: 193'0" Y: 1986
A California woman (yes, woman) who is protective of her privacy uses
Calixe. B: Feadship/De Vries Scheepsbouw, Holland; N: H.W. De
Voogt Naval Architects; H: Steel; E: 2/1,605-hp Deutz-MWMs
18.
CAPRI • L: 192'0" Y: 2003
Capri has
a cinema, gymnasium, recording studio, and the customary sun and observation
lounges. It’s also worth noting that the owners requested near-silent
running and that the two tenders be stowed in an aft garage instead of
on deck. Interestingly, we hear that they hadn’t even visited the
yard while Capri was under construction, entrusting supervision
of all matters of construction to their management team. B: Lürssen,
Germany; N: Builder/Glade Johnson Designs; H: Steel; E: 2/Caterpillars
(hp unknown)
19.
LIBERTAD • L: 192'0" Y: 1986/1992
Leopoldo Fernandez
Pujals, a Cuban-American who successfully launched a pizza business in
Spain similar to Domino’s, owns this yacht. She shares her name with
the pro-democracy group Cuba Libertad, which he also heads. Libertad—plus
her toys, including a 21-foot Sea Ray and dive gear—is for sale for
$14.95 million. B: Elsflether Werft, Germany; N: Builder/Donald Starkey;
H: Steel; E: 2/1,720-hp Caterpillars
