Cheoy Lee Global 104 Pilothouse

With an approx. range of 2,200 miles,
it’s really no wonder why Cheoy Lee named this line of yacht, “Global.”

The twin 1,900 horsepower CAT C32 Acerts are hardly the stars of the show in this space, which features a smooth blend of old school and high-tech safety features. The more traditional items include large, fuel sight glasses, beefy handrails between engines, and easy-to-check inboard inspection points.

In the engine room you can get out aft through the crew quarters and the before-mentioned transom
or through a second watertight door that leads to a guests stateroom via a closet.

“The family doesn’t have a chef on board, they want to spend time together like they would if they were ashore, and for them, that means spending time in the galley and preparing meals.
And this,” explains VP of Sales Panu Virtanen as he gestures towards the seating for 10 (if you’re close with your family that is), “this is just like at home.”

The full beam, on deck master boasts the things you would expect: a desk, settee, large berth etc. But it’s the nice amount of—18 foot long—open, carpeted space for walking around that’s most impressive.

Many desks aboard are used for decoration,
this one is actually large enough to spread out and get work done.

The main deck saloon will likely be used predominately when guests are aboard.
There is a more casual. Family-friendly lounge on the deck above.

While the owner expects to enjoy most of his meals in the country kitchen,
he still wanted the option for more formal dining.

A vintage-style illustration split into two contrasting scenes. On the left, a teenage boy looks down into a tiny, open 13-foot wooden motorboat filled with supplies. On the right, a massive steel-hulled naval warship cruises past under a dramatic sky.

A Boy and a Boat

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.
