Sunseeker Broker

Tuesday, May 8th, 2012

155 Sunseeker YachtNo price has been given on the Sunseeker’s new flagship tri-deck 155 Yacht and I am not sure if we will ever know.  One thing that is for sure this yacht will make a statement.  After three long years of planning and design, the construction of the largest ever Sunseeker has begun. Eddie Jordan, ex-Formula One race team owner is commissioning the all-new 155-foot Sunseeker, which is scheduled to be ready by December 2013. It will have space for 12 guests and 10 crewmembers, and will have a cruising range of 4,500 miles. The new flagship Yacht will incorporate innovative inset ship’s balconies, transverse garaging of tenders and toys, including a very private megayacht beach club with lower deck dayroom lounging area, folding platform and tender docking.

Robert Braithwaite, founder of Sunseeker explained how significant the construction of this new superyacht is for his brand. “Today is the beginning of the manufacturing process that will make my dream a reality,” he said. ”She will not be owned by many but those that do will be buying a craft of exceptional style, quality and innovation.”

Sunseeker is known for its luxury and performance.  To own a Sunseeker is to buy into a style and to make the ultimate lifestyle statement.

Destination Cat Island

Tuesday, April 3rd, 2012

Cat Island, BahamasAbout 130 miles southeast of crowded tourist ridden Nassau and Paradise Island near the Tropic of Cancer lies the pristine Cat Island. Here one can enjoy the unspoiled beaches, the shelling, snorkeling and explore uninhabited cays and hidden coves.  Divers love the coral reefs and blue holes, walls, caves and shipwrecks.

The reef harbor in Port Howe is a beautiful destination, if you come from the south in calm weather.  The range markers for the break in the reef are hard to see, but in good light the channel is obvious, and you can see well enough to run east to the anchorage. These days there are a couple of resident boats on moorings. Walk ashore, visit the ruins of Deveaux Mansion and enjoy some island flavor and lunch at the small bar and restaurant there.

There is excellent snorkeling in Winding Bay just around the unhabituated bay east of Port Howe.  The sportfishing along the edge of the ocean and off Columbus Point is some of the best in the Bahamas.

Follow the coast south west of Port Howe until you reach Hawk’s Nest. The Hawk’s Nest Marina is a 28-slip marina that has all the personalized service and amenities visiting boats require. Two air-conditioned fish-cleaning houses, 40,000-gallon diesel storage, 50 and 100 amp electric pedestals round out the services at Hawk’s Nest. Marina guests can utilize and enjoy all the additional amenities Hawk’s Nest Resort has to offer. The club serves some of the freshest fish around.

If you need a little land time, there are world class accommodations available at Hawk’s Nest. Each beach front room has a breathtaking view of emerald Caribbean waters and a full baths and luxurious robes. They also have two 3 bedroom homes for weekly rental, The Blue Marlin and The Sailfish houses.

Cat Island’s Bight is a favorite place to anchor in the Bahamas. The holding is excellent almost everywhere. The white sand beach runs almost uninterrupted, so landing is easy, and walking is wonderful.  New Bight is the hub of the island with a BTC office, Administration office, police station, and regatta site. Lunch at the Blue Bird Cafe is a treat as the Dorsett sisters serve delicious food with down-home charm and hospitality. You should then purchase a couple of bottles of water and head up to the Hermitage, Mount Alvernia is the highest elevation in the country at 206 feet above sea level. The hill served as the hermitage of Father Jerome Hawes, who settled on The Bahamas Island in 1939, where he built a miniature monastery and hand-carved steps out of solid rock.  On your way back down stop and get a fresh loaf of bread at Olive Kings to take onboard.

Named after the pirate Arthur Catt, much of this island has not been developed, which provides a unique vacation for those who want to get away in a private, relaxing, laid-back environment.  There are fascinating ruins, hardwood coppices, beautiful walks, and good places to eat along the way.  Untainted by tourism, there is much to be discovered on Cat Island in The Bahamas Out Islands.

The Rise of the ‘Gigayacht’

Tuesday, September 13th, 2011

As if the news of 25-year-old Brian McCarthy, son of the millionaire president of Marriott International, winning $107 million in the Mega Millions jackpot wasn’t enough to incite an eye roll or two, CNN International reports that the ‘gigayacht’ is on the rise for the super rich.

“For the billionaire who has everything, sometimes a superyacht just isn’t enough,” reports CNN.  “Gigayachts” are the ultimate status symbol, communicating power, eminence and a seemingly limitless supply of cash. Once the rich become the super rich, it’s all about being the biggest and the best – “There’s definitely a ‘mine is bigger than yours’ syndrome in this industry and there is a desire to have the best. That’s the great thing about these yachts,” said Jonathan Beckett, CEO of Burgess Yachts, one of the world’s leading yacht brokers. Buyers of gigayachts are accustomed to surrounding themselves with the most opulent and exceptional possessions, and as owners seek bigger and better yachts, the term ‘gigayacht’ is becoming more and more prevalent. Although there is no standard definition for what qualifies a boat as a “gigayacht,” SuperYacht World editor Paul Ashton says, “A gigayacht I would say is anything that is over 220 feet (67 meters) where the majority of the yacht is customized and bespoke.”

So who currently owns the world’s most expensive yacht? CNN names Roman Abramovich’s “Eclipse,” believed to be between $540 million and $1.1 billion. However, a couple of weeks ago, we reported on “History Supreme,” the $4.8 billion precious-metal-encrusted superyacht (by Ashton’s standards) designed by Stuart Hughes. We’re assuming History Supreme wasn’t named because the buyer hasn’t been officially identified.
