Island Odyssey Gallery

PMY has had a different company boat every year since 1988—most christened Office Ours—and every year they get a little bigger and a little more luxurious. In 2005 we added a twist. Instead of having the boat delivered to us, we went to her—St. Augustine, Florida, where our Luhrs 41 was built. Taking that Office Ours to New York was not only a great cruising

Portovenere’s busy harbor where our restaurant served local wine, tangy squid, and other delicacies.

Chiesa San Pietro guards the entrance to Portovenere. It has spectacular views and a quiet nave. We stocked up on sodas before hitting the beach.

Renting mopeds let us shop for local baked goods, produce, and wine.

Office Ours nears Sant Angelo d’Ischia.

Ischia’s mountainous terrain means spectacular views.

We approach Capri’s famous Faraglioni.

Fresh seafood is just a dinghy ride away.

Anacapri is considerably less crowded than other areas.

Capt. Richard Thiel

Raised in San Diego, Richard grew up on boats—admittedly, mostly sailboats. He actually didn't purchase his first powerboat, a 19-foot SeaCraft center console, until after he moved to Jupiter, Florida, in 1980. From the moment he launched Last Resort, he was hooked on powerboats, so much so that he decided to parlay his love of them and his experience as a diesel mechanic into a career as a freelance boating writer. Thiel went on to serve as Power & Motoryacht's editor-in-chief for 25 years and contributed to the magazine until his passing in 2016.
