The buzz word at this year’s Monaco Yacht Show seems to be tender. As preparations are well underway for the show, Hodgdon Yachts announced it will be presenting their limo tender.
This tender was chosen for the American-owned Seven Seas.
The heat of late July had settled into every crevice and shadow in the urban canyons of Manhattan. Just when I thought it was too late to escape, the invitation came through the mail slot on a salt-tinged zephyr: “Join us on Nantucket.” I had been saved by the kind folks at Hinckley, who hosted a rendezvous for their owners at Nantucket Boat Basin.

According to news reports a $4.5 billion, 30-meter yacht has been built in Malaysia. Billion with a B. That’s ten times more expensive than Roman Abramovich’s Eclipse but who’s counting?
When I arrived at the PMY office in midtown Manhattan last Thursday, I assumed it would be like every other day in the office. A little writing, some research, some editing…all various tasks expected of an editorial intern, and all things I enjoy doing.
Marine Max, the giant boat retailer, has long had a major presence in the northeast and New England, thanks in part to its acquisition of
Well, it may not be as exciting as the announcement of a new boat model or some magazine award, but you can bet that today’s
This past weekend, I went home to Wisconsin. And it was fantastic—There was grilling and beer and boats.
On Sunday, I spent some time in Fish Creek, Wisconsin. It’s been a few years since I’ve visited, but I used to spend weeks there in the summer with my cousin and my grandpa. And not much has changed.
