SOLEMATES • L: 170'7" Y: 1998
The spelling of her name reflects the fact that her owner is in the footwear
biz. That puts into perspective one of the little surprises that charter
guests are treated to: comfy slippers. Wonder if Kenneth Lay (of Enron
fame) is still enjoying his; he was a charterer last summer, before the
you-know-what really hit the fan. B: Feadship/De Vries Scheepsbouw,
Holland; N: H.W. De Voogt Naval Architects; H: Steel; E: 2/1,875-hp Caterpillars
41.
KISS THE SKY • L: 170'6" Y: 2001
Available for
charter for $225,000 per week, Kiss the Sky will make you want
to do exactly that (well, maybe play a little air guitar while you’re
at it, too). Upper-deck indoor and outdoor dining areas afford beautiful
vistas, while sumptuous linens and fabrics in the staterooms lull you
off to dreamland. B: Amels, Holland; N: Builder; H: Steel; E: 2/1,200-hp

SUNRISE • L: 170'2" Y: 2001
Begun as the spec yacht Acclaim, Sunrise features a rising
sun in the design of her nameboard. B: Oceanco, South Africa/Holland;
N: Richard Hein/The “A” Group Monte Carlo SAM; H: Steel; E:
2/1,714-hp MTUs

DREAM • L: 169'9" Y: 2003
While Dream’s
split-level layout on each deck is unusual, perhaps her most impressive
feature is an advanced retractable azimuthing stern thruster that’s
linked to a Dynamic Positioning System. Used in conjunction with the bow
thruster, this setup allows her to hold position and heading without anchoring
or running the main engines. If the waves start coming abeam in her anchorage,
which would result in uncomfortable rolling, the crew can give the stern
thruster a designated heading, and the yacht will take a different angle
without the need to fire up the engines and move. An added bonus of the
stern-thruster setup: dinner cruising. Dream can be powered on
just the main genset and stern thruster, letting the scenery slip by the
dining area windows. B: Feadship/Royal Van Lent, Holland; N: De Voogt
Naval Architects; H: Steel; E: 2/1,500-hp Caterpillars

BEAUPORT • L: 168'11" Y: 1960
Beauport
was built as a sounding vessel for the Canadian Coast Guard, complete
with heavy ice plating for navigating in northern climes, and retains
much of the look of her former purpose. She’s for sale for just $2.4
million. B: Davie & Sons, USA; N: Builder; H: Steel; E: 2/640-hp
Fairbanks Morses
45.
ENTERPRISE V • L: 168'0" Y: 1992
The blue-hulled
beauty that entertains numerous members of the Amway Corporation every
year also hosts private cruises for company founders Rich DeVos and Jay
Van Andel plus their families. B: Feadship/Royal Van Lent Shipyard,
Holland; N: De Voogt Naval Architects; H: Steel; E: 2/1,175-hp Caterpillars
46.
HAIDA • L: 168'0" Y: 1947
A Texan is having
this classic yacht, originally built for Hollywood director Max Fleishman,
extensively refitted. Some of the work entails reinstating the yacht’s
original stack. B: Bath Iron Works, USA; N: John H. Wells; H: Steel;
E: 2/1,000-hp Enterprise diesels
47.
JAMAICA BAY II • L: 168'0" Y: 1986
If you like Edwardian
formality, charter this lady for $165,000 per week. B: Schweers, Germany;
N: Diana Yacht Design; H: Steel; E: 2/1,445-hp Caterpillars
48.
ILLUSION • L: 167'0" Y: 1983
Here’s something
unusual: Illusion’s sundeck has a large, square opening that
lets guests see down to the outdoor dining area below. For safety, it’s
railed off; it can also be covered with a shade to filter light below.
B: Feadship/Royal Van Lent Shipyard, Holland; N: H.W. De Voogt Naval
Architects; H: Steel; E: 2/1,125-hp Caterpillars
