Derecktor

Cakewalk - Largest US-Built Luxury Yacht Since the '30s

Derecktor shipyards is nearing completion on the Cakewalk superyacht for a private client, which at 281 ft. will be the largest luxury yacht built in the U.S. since the 1930s, and at 2,950 tons possibly the biggest ever built in the States when measured by displacement. The result of a collaboration between Derecktor, Azure Naval Architects of Holland, exterior designer Tim Heywood and interior designer by Liz Dalton, Cakewalk features a total of six decks, with the owners' and guests' accommodations representing half of that space, and a helipad and swimming platform aft.

All staterooms are located above deck, affording large, graceful windows, and boast spacious baths and one-touch amenity control systems. Located on the main deck, the elegant owner's suite has impressive forward views and includes a spa, lounge, theater and gym. Ceilings in the recessed dining salon with seating for 16 are decorated with hand-painted canvases and exotic woods are incorporated throughout the stately craft.

There is a games room located on the bridge deck, and above that the sun deck features a bar, loungers, sunshades and a whirlpool spa. All the luxurious fixtures won't slow her down, however, with a top speed of 17 knots and projected cruising range of 5000 nautical miles.
