Lightweight Heavyweight Gallery

When most people think of Dutch yachtbuilding, they certainly think of high quality, but they also likely recall the names of some of the largest privately owned vessels in the world. Little wonder: Within the past 15 years alone, more than two dozen motor- and sailing yachts exceeding 150 feet LOA and stretching upwards of 300 feet LOA have emerged from this tiny country.

An alternate view of the dining area and saloon.

Abundant use of anigre, which has a distinctive grain pattern, lends flair to the decor, as do the maps of harbors above the bed here in the master.

The VIP stateroom is accessed via its own hallway; note the artwork above the bed.

Though it’s narrow, the galley provides good prep space.

A private hallway leading to the VIP stateroom features terrific artwork.

Even the en suite heads are highly decorative.

The crew mess, accessed via the aft deck, houses the washer and dryer.

A pocket door (not visible) closes off the helm from the 94 Alu’s saloon.

A side profile shot of a modern, white Sunseeker 82 Ocean luxury motor yacht cruising at speed across open water. The vessel features striking black-tinted window bands along its multi-deck hull and a black hardtop structure over its upper deck flybridge. It kicks up a substantial white spray and wake as it glides under a soft pink, purple, and gold sunset sky, with a British Red Ensign flag flying from the stern.

A medium shot from inside an enclosed boat helm station featuring a smiling, bearded man sitting at the steering wheel. He is looking off to the right, wearing blue-mirrored sunglasses, a blue baseball cap underneath a grey beanie, and a hooded blue digital-camouflage jacket. Large glass windows and an overhead skylight panel surround the cabin, offering a view out over choppy water toward a distant, tree-lined shoreline under a bright sky.

Charter Ready, Life Proof

An aerial, high-angle three-quarter shot of a white center-console power catamaran cruising through green water, leaving a foaming white wake behind its twin hulls. Two men are on board, with the driver at the helm station beneath a black T-top canopy. The boat features tan upholstered seating, including an open bow lounge area and a rear-facing cockpit bench. The aft deck is finished with a light brown faux-teak swim platform extension flanking twin black outboard engines.

Volare Artemis 23

A low-angle, three-quarter view from the water looking up at a white Invictus ST55 luxury motor yacht idling on calm blue seas. A couple sits relaxing on the spacious aft sunpad deck outside the enclosed main cabin, which features dark tinted windows and black radar domes on the roof. The yacht's modern design includes a fold-down bulwark terrace extended on the starboard side just above the waterline, set against a bright blue sky filled with fluffy white clouds.
