Mysterious Yacht Washes Up on Florida Gulf Coast

Tuesday, August 31st, 2010

Last Wednesday, an unmanned yacht called “Makin Waves” mysteriously washed up on the shores of Redding Beach, west of St. Petersburg on the Florida Gulf Coast. The 48-foot yacht had no one onboard and its engines running on autopilot when it was spotted by local resident Gene Borg.

“I see boats all the time — it’s one of the joys of living here — but this one was coming straight in at the beach,” Borg said. “I hollered at my wife to call 911 and I put on my bathing suit out of concern someone was having a medical emergency.” Borg inspected the boat and found no one inside.

The mystery yacht was reported stolen from a marina in Cancun, Mexico. The owner, Arturo Millet Reyes, who owns a professional soccer team in the Mexican state of Yucatan, said his yacht was taken from a private marina and he reported the theft to local police. The Mexican Coast Guard had been on the lookout for the stolen yacht.

Investigators saw no signs of violence or evidence that the yacht was used for criminal activity. “Makin Waves”, a 48-foot Sea Ray Sundancer, sells for $1 million new. The owner is in touch with sheriff’s deputies to retrieve his boat and the case has been closed in Pinellas County, Florida.

Onlookers Marvel at Superyacht Docked Off California Coast

Tuesday, August 24th, 2010

A $300 million yacht owned by Russian billionaire Andrey Melnichenko was parked off the coast of Sausalito, California last Wednesday, drawing onlookers onshore as well as boaters in the bay. The 390-foot yacht, called the “A,” apparently arrived Tuesday night or Wednesday morning after a trip up the coast from San Diego. It sports a 2,500-square-foot master suite, three swimming pools and doors accessible by a fingerprint security system.

Melnichenko, 38, who resides in Moscow and is married to model Aleksandra Nikolic Melnichenko, made his money in the fertilizer, energy and banking businesses. With a net worth of $4.4 billion, Melnichenko is No. 189 on the Forbes list of wealthiest people in the world.

The private yacht is named after the initials of the couple’s first names. It’s 62 feet wide and has an owner’s suite and six cabins at its beam. “A” has a crew of 37, twin 6,000-horsepower engines, carries 12 tons of water for its hot tubs, pools and spas, and can hit speeds of 24 knots, although its cruising speed is around 19.5 knots, which can take it more than 6,500 nautical miles nonstop.

The ship’s two main landing boats are mini-yachts themselves, stretching to 36 feet, boasting plush interiors and costing more than $1 million each, according to the Wall Street Journal.

Tuesday, August 17th, 2010

The Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show is the city’s biggest nautical event of the year, coming up October 28 to November 1. Efrem “Skip” Zimbalist, president and CEO of Show Management, the company sponsoring the Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show, says he expects the event to be stronger this year than last.

The CEO of Show Management also said that early August advance ticket sales and exhibitor space for the boat show are a little above compared to last year at this time. The company is aggressively marketing the event in 16 countries, with an emphasis on Russia and Latin America this year.

In an effort to make the Fort Lauderdale Boat Show a sustainable event, Show Management is partnering with Native Energy to offset the event’s carbon footprint through renewable energy projects.
