GRAY MIST III
142'0" 1995 Some people
step up to a larger yacht after only a few years, but the owners of this
lady took 26 years to do so! Their previous yacht, a 110-footer, was built
by the same commercial yard that built this one. Gray Mist III has some
clever touches, such as a faux surface that simulates limestone on the
fireplace dividing her saloon and dining area and more faux surfaces on
the bulkheads to simulate weathered paint for a homey look. B:
Breaux Bay Craft, USA; N: Tim Borland; H: Aluminum; E:
2/1,500-hp Caterpillars
107.
IRISH ROVER
142'0" 1995
This yacht was originally 10 feet shorter, but she was extended a few
years ago by previous owners. She has an elegant interior, complete with
a grand staircase, by Claudette Bonville. B: Feadship/C. Van
Lent en Zonen, Holland; N: H.W. De Voogt & Zoon; H: Steel;
E: 2/775-hp Caterpillars
108.
NAMOH
142'0" 1995 Namoh’s
owners have traveled extensively for years onboard yachts; in fact, this
142-footer is one of about a dozen they’ve enjoyed over the years.
The unusual name is actually their last name spelled backwards. B:
Christensen Shipyards, USA; N: Builder; H: Fiberglass; E:
2/1,800-hp Deutz-MWMs
109.
PARAFFIN
142'0" 1996 A
gentleman in the candle-making business christened this yacht in honor
of his profession but sold her last year, in anticipation of the delivery
of his latest yacht (see no. 12). That owner has kept the name. Paraffin
features Cuban mahogany paneling. B: Palmer Johnson, USA; N:
Builder; H: Aluminum; E: 2/1,800-hp Detroit Diesels
110.
L’ELEGANCE
141'1" 1988 Pear wood
sets the scene onboard this aptly named lady. B: Feadship/C.
Van Lent en Zonen, Holland; N: H.W. De Voogt & Zoon; H:
Steel; E: unknown
111.
KAHALANI
141'0" 1993 If
the name rings a bell, it’s likely because she used to be part of
the now-defunct yacht co-ownership program run by The Ocean Group a few
years ago. Today Kahalani is on the charter circuit. B: Feadship/De
Vries Scheepsbouw, Holland; N: H.W. De Voogt & Zoon; H:
Steel; E: 2/775-hp Caterpillars
112.
WALKABOUT
141'0" 2000
Singer-songwriter
Jimmy Dean recently sold this lady, which he had christened Big Bad John
and which was the largest yacht he’s had in his 40 years of boating.
A gentleman from Oregon purchased her over the summer and took her to
Christensen for a complete interior change plus the installation of a
hot tub and a fiberglass hardtop with a pull-down, 50-inch, plasma-screen
TV. B: Christensen Shipyards, USA; N: Builder; H:
Fiberglass; E: 2/2,000-hp DDC-MTUs
113.
VICTORY LANE
141'0" 2001 OK,
pay attention, this is going to get confusing. Felix Sabates, co-owner
of Trinity Yachts, commissioned this yacht under the name you see here,
which he gives all his big boats. But when another owner who had a 150-footer
under construction decided to sell his boat and commission a replacement
150-footer (which won’t be ready for nearly two years), Sabates
sold him Victory Lane, permitting him to keep the name since she’s
just an interim yacht. Whew! B: Trinity Yachts, USA; N:
Builder; H:Aluminum; E: 2/1,800-hp MTU-DDCs
114.
MAGNIFICO
140'0" 1991 Magnifico
has made a few trips up and down the West Coast between Alaska and Mexico
over the past few years. She was one of the first big yachts to visit
the Grand Bay resort in Manzanillo, Mexico. She has a long bar in the
saloon where charterers and the owner’s family like to gather. B:
Christensen Shipyards, USA; N: Builder; H: Fiberglass; E:
2/1,460-hp Detroit Diesels
115.
WESTSHIP ONE
140'0" 2001
Part floating
villa, part watersports platform, this yacht debuted several months ago
as the flagship of the Westship series. There’s an elaborate marble
mosaic inlay in the sole forward of the dining area and an onyx-topped
bar in the saloon. Scuba tanks and gear are stowed in her lazarette in
custom lockers, while overhead are fishing rods aplenty. A few steps forward
lies a small pantry-like area, which contains a wine cooler, refrigerator,
and freezer. B: Westship World Yachts, USA; N: Builder;
H: Fiberglass; E: 2/2,285-hp MTUs
116.
DREAM SEEKER
139'0" 1984 Dream
Seeker totes a 19-foot Pursuit rigged for fishing. Other fun things the
owners and charterers can take advantage of are the double and slalom
water-skis, kayaks, and dive gear. She’ll be in Asian waters this
winter. B: Feadship/C. Van Lent en Zonen, Holland; N: H.W. De Voogt
& Zoon; H: Steel; E: 2/1,165-hp Caterpillars
117.
HIS GRACE
138'0" 1989 A
Californian keeps His Grace on the West Coast. Her interior has a good
deal of mirrors, stainless steel, and marble instead of the more traditional
choice of wood. B: Westport Shipyard (Westship), USA; N:
Paolo Caliari/Builder; H: Fiberglass; E: 2/1,315-hp Deutz-MWMs
118.
HALCYON
137'1" 1982
Etched-glass panels
dividing the saloon from the dining area and a comfortable bar where you’d
expect to find a country kitchen stand out as features on this charter
yacht. Expect to see her in the Western Med next summer, where her high-season
rate will be $80,000 per week. B: Feadship/De Vries Scheepsbouw,
Holland; N: H.W. De Voogt & Zoon; H: Steel; E:
2/650-hp Caterpillars
119.
BOSSY BOOTS II
136'0" 1998 This was
the largest yacht thus far from Intermarine Savannah until the new 145-footer
launched (see no. 97). Honduras mahogany and eucalyptus highlight her
interior. B: Intermarine Yachts, USA: N: Paragon Design/Luiz
De Basto; H: Fiberglass; E: 2/2,260-hp MTUs
120.
ATLANTICA
135'0" 2000 It’s
practically de rigeur for megayachts to have carpeted soles in their saloons,
but Atlantica features hardwood soles and area rugs, underscoring the
homey feel. A mural in the master stateroom depicts an open-sea vista,
while one in the master head is a beach scene. B: Christensen
Shipyards, USA; N: Builder; H: Fiberglass; E: 2/1,800-hp
