Tankoa Yachts · 58 Meters

TANKOA 58M

A second commission from a client who already knew the house, Diamond Binta is Tankoa's first T580 — a 58-metre full-custom delivered in the summer of 2024 and unveiled to the industry at the Monaco Yacht Show that same autumn.

USA ONBOARD · LIFESTYLE

Where the Sky Meets the Water

For a certain kind of owner, the aircraft and the yacht are not two possessions but one continuous idea of movement, where the deck becomes a destination and the horizon becomes a route.

Sunreef Yachts · 100 Power

Sunreef 100

A 30-metre catamaran with a beam that behaves like a second deck, the 100 Sunreef Power is the Polish yard's most complete argument yet for what a supercat can be — and the first luxury yacht to carry flax-fibre composite as a visible design language.

OWNERSHIP · CREW

When the Boat Needs a Crew

There is a point at which a boat asks for more hands than the owner can supply. Knowing when you have reached it, and who to bring aboard, is one of the quiet arts of ownership at scale.

Safety

The Art of Anchoring Correctly

Whether the stop is for a few hours or for the night, a maneuver carried out with care and unhurried attention is what separates a peaceful anchorage from a long, restless watch.

Profile · Aaron Fidler · AK Royalty

From the Engine Room to a Yacht in Gold

A deckhand from Perth who became an industrialist, then turned the proceeds into a 41-metre Palmer Johnson finished in 24-karat gold leaf. Aaron Fidler's story is the rarer one in superyachting: ownership built from below.

REAL ESTATE. PRIVATE ISLANDS

The Considered Island

An honest map of what it actually means to buy a private island in the Bahamas or the wider Caribbean, written for the buyer who already has the means and now needs the method.

SERVICES · MARINAS

Choosing a Home Marina

After the boat itself, the berth you keep it in shapes everything: how often you use it, what it costs to own, and whether ownership feels like freedom or a chore. A working guide to the most consequential decision most owners make twice.

COLLECTOR´S EYE

Four Objects That Earn Their Place

On luxury yachts and along the waterfront, the most considered pieces are rarely the loudest. They are the ones that still serve.

DESTINATIONS · CRUISING GUIDE

First Crossing to the Bahamas

Fifty miles of open water separate South Florida from Bimini, the closest landfall in an archipelago of seven hundred islands. For the first-time captain, the crossing is short — and entirely unlike anything on the inside of the coastline.

Crew & Operations · Chapter 7

Building your Crew

Who you actually need, what they must hold in their licenses, what they earn, and where you find them — a working guide to assembling a professional crew, written for the Fort Lauderdale market and the boats that move through it.

Guide · Boating Safety
