#11: ATTESSA—225’0”Here’s what fellow yacht owner Wayne Huizenga (see Floridian, no. 10) told Forbes about this lady: “Attessa is a work of art.” She is indeed, especially when you consider what her owner, Dennis
#17: Fortunato—203’5″Talk about a cool tender: Fortunato totes a 47-foot Wally. That’s not to imply that her other toys are lacking. In fact, there’s a 26-foot semicustom boat outfitted for fishing and diving, and there’s also a 22-foot ski boat. But our favorite is the 15-foot floating trampoline.Y: 2000;
#18: RASSELAS—203’4”Even though you won’t find her listed on the major yacht-charter broker’s Web sites, Rasselas does indeed charter, but only to a handful of people the owner personally approves. The lucky few would be wise to note her two fireplaces (one in the saloon, the other in the skylounge) and how part of the sundeck becomes an extra “saloon”

#44: Ice Bear—177’0″This yacht is a familiar sight in Washington State and Alaska. You can’t miss her crow’s nest.Y: 1988; B: Feadship/De Vries Scheepsbouw, Holland; N: H.W. De Voogt Naval Architects; H: Steel; E: 2/1,000-hp CaterpillarsAmerica’s 100
#57: DREAM—169’9”While most owners reserve large areas or even entire deck levels for themselves, the owner of Dream didn’t forget his VIP guests. That’s why the VIP suite is truly a suite and not just a stateroom, able to have a lounge (with game table and seating area) and alfresco area (perfect for sunning or dining,
#96: Princess K—155’10”The people who bought this yacht last year stepped up from a 131-footer. Like many yachts on our list, she spent the summer in the Med.Y: 1999; B: Feadship/Royal Van Lent Shipyard, Holland; N: De Voogt Naval Architects; H: Steel; E: 2/905-hp Caterpillars
#87: Inevitable—158’3”If you charter this yacht, available for $140,000 per week in the western Med, you’ll have confidence in knowing she’s completed two circumnavigations. You’ll also appreciate how the upper deck can accommodate a cocktail party for upwards of 100 people.Y: 1990; B: Feadship/De Vries Scheepsbouw, Holland; N: De Voogt Naval

#54: Battered Bull—170’9″When the contract was signed for Battered Bull, the owners wanted a yacht capable of global cruising. Eleven years later, they’ve been to 50 different countries and are still going strong. Just this past summer they cruised Ireland, Scotland, and England, and as you’re reading this they’re
#84: Indefensible—160’6”Popular yachting locales such as St. Tropez in France and Portofino in Italy were on Indefensible’s itinerary earlier this year. The yacht was launched as a 142-footer but stretched by a previous owner.Y: 1988; B: Feadship/Royal Van Lent Shipyard, Holland; N: De Voogt Naval
#63: ILLUSION—163’3”If you’re an ice cream or chocolate addict, you’ll love Illusion, as the chef makes these treats from scratch—no Breyer’s or Nestle here. The head chef (there are two chefs aboard) also makes some mean sushi. Log on to Yacht Illusion for more.Y: 1983; B:
#21: Mduse—198’10”Sometimes even solid-looking sales don’t go through. That’s apparently the case with this Feadship; we’d been told last year by a well-placed source that new owners had named her Ithaka, in honor of a Greek island, but she is still in the hands of Paul Allen (see
#35: Barbara Jean—185’3″Forty-five million dollars will get you this classic-looking and well-traveled beauty, featuring a signature John Munford interior (mahogany everywhere). How well traveled? She’s been to New Zealand and the Baltic and was in Venice, Italy, just before presstime, so you’ll know you’re getting a proven cruiser. One thing you won’t
#55: Halcyon Days—170’7″Halcyon indeed: A decorative fireplace inside underscores the relaxing atmosphere onboard. A Jacuzzi tub is tucked under the radar arch on the sundeck, too.Y: 1994; B: Feadship/De Vries Scheepsbouw, Holland; N: De Voogt Naval Architects; H: Steel; E: 2/1,280-hp Caterpillars
