IZANAMI
191'9" • 1993 Residents
of Sausalito, California, were pretty excited when Larry Ellison berthed
Izanami there last summer. The yacht has an arresting profile,
marked by angular lines and not a single curve, quite the opposite of
what you'd expect of a pleasurecraft. Persistent rumors have Ellison
planning to sell this boat, not Katana (see no. 5), when he takes
delivery of a yacht in the 450-foot range from Lürssen within the
next year or so. B: Lürssen Werft, Germany; N: Norman
Foster/builder; H: Aluminum; E: 2/5,875-hp MTUs
17.
PEGASUS
189'3" • 2001 This biggie
replaced a same-named 130-footer which a couple used for extensive cruising.
The name is a tribute to the wife, Peggy, and the mythological winged
horse. At the launch party they treated the Oceanco staff to a Wild West
party, complete with a mechanical bull, shooting gallery, and even a country
and western band. Pegasus took her maiden voyage in the Med. B:
Oceanco, South Africa/Holland; N: The "A" Group--Monte
Carlo SAM; H: Steel; E: 2/1,650-hp Caterpillars
18.
EXCELLENCE III
187'10" • 2001 As
you read this, the last coats of varnish are probably drying on the furnishings
of Herb Chambers' latest yacht. The Connecticut car dealer recently
sold his Feadship (see no. 61) in anticipation of this yacht's delivery.
Excellence III features a wide array of watertoys, plenty of space
for sunbathing, six staterooms that can be converted into four suites,
and a sophisticated interior by Donald Starkey Designs. She'll be
available for charter for $245,000 per week beginning in February. B:
Abeking & Rasmussen, Germany; N: Builder; H: Steel;
E: 2/1,400-hp Caterpillars
19.
NETANYA VI
187'0" • 2001 An
experienced yachtsman whose last few boats have incorporated "Netanya"
in their names welcomed his latest lady this summer. B:
Feadship/De Vries Scheepsbouw, Holland; N: De Voogt Design &
Engineering; H: Steel; E: unknown
20.
ULTIMA III
187'9" • 1998 Ultima
III is among the handful of yachts on our list that enjoyed the tropical
breezes of St. Bart's this winter. Her owner is Ron Perelman, the
head of Revlon and husband of actress Ellen Barkin. B:
Abeking & Rasmussen, Germany; N: Builder; H: Steel;
E: 2/1,877-hp Caterpillars
21.
BARBARA JEAN
185'4" • 2001 Few
details are known about this new launch, other than the fact that her
owner is a private individual. B: Feadship/De Vries Scheepsbouw,
Holland; N: De Voogt Design & Engineering; H: Steel;
E: unknown
22.
QUEST
185'0" • 1976 Quest
was launched as a commercial boat and acquired in the mid-1990s by a private
individual for conversion. She's available for sale. B:
Halter Marine, USA; N: Builder; H: Steel; E: unknown
23.
DREAM
184'0" • 1999 Just
because the owner of this expedition yacht has her for sale doesn't
mean he's giving up the visions of globetrotting dancing in his
head. Quite the contrary, he's building a larger expedition yacht
in Denmark. Whoever buys Dream, currently in St. Petersburg, Florida,
will certainly appreciate her beautiful teak-panelled interior. B:
Halter Marine, USA; N: Builder; H: Steel; E: 2/1,000-hp
Caterpillars
24.
HUNTRESS
180'5" • 1997 Six
vertical oval windows that extend down to the guest accommodations on
the lower deck are a hallmark of this yacht's design. Huntress
underwent a big refit last year at Derecktor Gunnell, and she also recently
received a custom Nautical Structures knuckle-boom crane for the deployment
of her tenders. As a joke, her crew hooked up the crane to a huge billfish
they'd caught and sent a picture to Nautical Structures, giving
the company the chance to state tongue-in-cheek that it just built "the
world's most expensive fishing pole." B: Feadship/De
Vries Scheepsbouw, Holland; N: De Voogt International; H:
Steel; E: 2/1,280-hp Caterpillars
25.
PLATINUM
179'4" • 1962 Residents
of the Keys are quite familiar with Platinum, as she spends a good
deal of her time there. She also cruises in New England, as that's
where her owner is from. She's readily recognizable due to the two
helicopters on her top deck. B: Fr. Lürssen Werft, Germany;
N: Builder; H: Steel; E: 2/2,130-hp MTUs
26.
SEAHAWK
177'0" • 2001 This
new launch is the largest U.S.-built yacht to fly under the American flag.
She's owned by Jim Mattei, the Texas-born entrepreneur who established
the Checkers chain of restaurants and owns the NASCAR team for which Michael
Waltrip drives. Seahawk has a stunning interior by Claudette Bonville
that's characterized by a circular stair rising through the yacht's
three decks, a double-size main saloon, and a three-room master suite.
B: Trinity Yachts, USA; N: Builder; H:
Aluminum; E: 2/2,000-hp MTU-DDCs
27.
LITTLE SIS
175'6" • 1994 New
carpeting, two new PWCs, and upgraded equipment should entice charterers
to this 22-knot beauty. She's expected to winter in the Bahamas
and is available for $165,000 per week for a minimum of two weeks.
B: Oceanfast, Australia; N: Jon Bannenberg/Phil Curran;
H: Aluminum; E: 2/2,750-hp MTUs
28.
KISSES
175'0" • 2000 Etched-glass
panels that reflect an art deco style sit below each of the numerous windows
lining this yacht's saloon. Coupled with the mirrored overhead,
the effect is dramatic and brightens the already voluminous room. Kisses
is a strictly private yacht. B: Feadship/De Vries Scheepsbouw,
Holland; N: De Voogt International; H: Steel; E:
2/1,360-hp Caterpillars
29.
ICE BEAR
173'0" • 1988 Eighteen-karat-gold
fixtures and a dining room that can accommodate 20 people comfortably
are among this yacht's standout features. She was launched as a
167-footer but underwent an extension in 1995. B: Feadship/De
Vries Scheepsbouw, Holland; N: H.W. De Voogt & Zoon; H:
Steel; E: 2/1,000-hp Caterpillars
30.
BIG EAGLE
172'0" • 1980 A
mostly new interior should attract interested parties, as Big Eagle,
long a part of Bernie Little's stable of boats, is for sale for
$8.6 million. The man behind the Miss Budweiser racing craft had her in
Cannes when we went to press and is making her available for the 2002
summer season in the Med for $95,000 per week. B: Mei
Shipyard, Japan; N: Builder; H: Steel; E: 2/900-hp
