Huntress
180'5"
· 1997 The former Sea Sedan,
which had been in the hands of a European, is now owned by an American.
She is readily recognizable due to six vertical oval windows that extend
down to the guest accommodations on the lower deck. B:

Claire
180'5"
· 1996 Rumors persisted two years ago that the controversial
Prince Jefri of Brunei (the brother of the sultan) sold his Feadship to
a European owner, but our reliable sources insisted the yacht hadn't
changed hands. This time, however, it seems a transfer of ownership has
happened--and quietly, at that. Not that we're surprised--after
all, if we'd purchased a huge yacht named for a part of the female
body (hint: rhymes with "ritz") and that had a nameboard with
a matching anatomically correct logo, we'd keep it and the name
change quiet, too. But therein lies the problem: None of our sources could
tell us the new name, so we're opting for the name that Feadship
used when the prince owned her. B: Feadship/C.

Maalana
180'5"
· 1992 Two summers ago a German purchased this Oceanfast from
the Sultan of Brunei, but she's reportedly back on the market again.
Her distinctive styling includes groupings of several oval windows, and
her angular profile complements her 24-knot top speed. B:

Tacanuya
180'0"
· 1992/1998 An Arab yachtsman purchased this yacht when she
was known as Defiance and measured
155 feet LOA, purposely to extend her to her current length. The work
was done in Viareggio at the former Lusben yard (recently purchased by
Azimut/Benetti). Tacanuya cruises the Med. B:

Platinum
179'4"
· 1962 Platinum has been
in American hands for quite some time now. She's perhaps best known
for carrying two helicopters onboard. She splits her time between New
England and the Florida Keys. B: Fr. Lürssen

Ambrosia
177'2"
· 1998 Do you like music? An investor from Hong Kong apparently
does, too, since he had Ambrosia outfitted
with an electric piano and karaoke machine. Let's just hope that
amateur singers among the guests don't send the rest of the invited
party-goers fleeing for the outdoor deck areas--although that wouldn't
be such a bad idea, since there's a terrific observation area in
front of the pilothouse. B: Benetti, Italy; N:

Maridome
177'2"
· 1989 Maridome is available
for charter for $210,000 per week in the western Med this summer. Her
four guest suites are named and decorated after famous ocean liners of
the past, including the Queen Mary
and Le Normandie. B:

Sarafsa
177'2"
· 1998 Sarafsa has an unusual
yet striking color for a hull: maroon. The king of Jordan and his family
cruised aboard her in the Greek islands last summer. While there are no
details on what her interior looks like, we do know that it was designed
by Andrew Winch. B: Amels, Holland; N: Builder;
H: Steel; E: unknown

Adamas ll
177'0"
· 1987 Even though she's not new,
Adamas II is debuting on our list--she's now in
the hands of a private Greek owner after having been owned by Middle Eastern
royalty for several years. The current owner had various items aboard
upgraded and has reportedly placed her back on the market. B:

Malahne
177'0"
· 1937/1983 Previously appearing on our list as Adel, this lady
was owned by an Arab yachtsman who primarily used her for business luncheons.
She was rebuilt in the early 1980s and recently underwent a major two-year
refit from the keel up. She's now known under her original name,
which was given to her by the famous film producer Sam Spiegel. She's
for sale for $4.9 million and available for select charter dates as well.

Blue Narwhal
176'7 ·
1984 Fishing gear, snorkeling gear, and lots of other watersports
paraphernalia keep charter guests entertained onboard Blue
Narwhal. She's available for $126,000 per week, and she's
also for sale for $9.2 million. She was stretched about 14 feet seven
years ago. B: Benetti, Italy; N: Builder; H:
