HOW TO DISCOVER THE NEW WORLD: SUPERYACHTS

Year after year, we see hundreds of new boats and yachts, but only a few are truly worthy of our bucket list. LXRY List 2021 offers plenty of inspiration to refresh your bucket list with a few luxury superyachts.Online Editor: Natasha Hendriks

Avanguardia

This 137-meter yacht, designed by Pierpaolo Lazzarini, has the shape of a stylized swan. At the top of the head is the wheelhouse. When the "neck" moves forward, this wheelhouse lands in the water and turns into an independent sailing vessel. The superyacht is powered by an MTU Rolls-Royce Jet engine, good for a speed of 18 knots. The stern also has room for two Jet Capsules: two speedboats that, once attached, can help propel the Avanguardia. There are also a swimming pool, two helicopter platforms and an on-board garage so that passengers (up to sixty) can bring their supercar. Of course, it will cost something: about 425 million euros.

Port

'Haven' is the name of the latest concept for a support vessel, one of those hefty ships that the owners of very large superyachts add to it to carry dinghies, water jets, hypercars, motorcycles, chutes, helicopters and supplies behind the mother ship. Haven is more than such a sailing shed: this ShadowCAT is a buffer for the virus bubble of the owner and his crew. The massive catamaran is a superyacht in its own right. The vessel is designed to maintain the safety of those on the mother ship. Anyone wishing to board the luxury yacht must pass through "Haven," where all guests and crew are tested first. If they test positive, there is a hospital on board where they can spend their period in quarantine. The tracking boat is fitted with the latest testing equipment and equipped with advanced air conditioning, with surfaces treated with nanotechnology that should be able to filter virus particles from the air. The catamaran has one hull that contacts the mainland, where people and supplies board. Before anything or anyone goes to the other hull, it is tested or decontaminated. From the second hull, contact is made with the mother ship, the luxury yacht with its owner and crew. Haven is 68.2 meters long, 15.5 meters wide and houses, in addition to the coronatest and a variety of toys, security officers, pilots and cooks.

APEX 850

Royal Huisman and superyacht designer Malcolm McKeon have joined forces to design the largest sloop-rigged yacht in the world, the APEX 850. Above the sleek 85-meter hull towers a 107-meter high carbon mast, which will define the skyline of every port in the world where these superyachts dock. Furthermore, the ship stands out for its breathtaking minimalism. Even the glass superstructure, which encloses a luxurious salon of some 200 square meters, seems barely there. What the interior will look like is up to the future owner. The vessel offers accommodation for 12 guests and 14 crew members. Sailing the APEX 850 should be a sensational experience, with a speed that will often exceed that of the wind. The retractable keel, optimal weight distribution and limited angle of heel ensure stability, comfort and safety. The double rudder guarantees fast reaction time for the ultimate helmsman experience.
