The Latest Must-Have Luxury Item from LVMH: An $11 Million Yacht

Last summer my colleague Noah Joseph reported that LVMH planned to bring its recently-acquired Princess Yachts brand to the U.S. Now the luxury goods conglomerate, owner of blue-chip brands ranging from Louis Vuitton to Dom Pérignon, has unveiled its new M Class range of super-stylish superyachts that places Princess on a firm footing with the rest of the LVMH stable. First into production is the 105-ft. 32M (above), with a base price of about $11 million. LVMH brought in some of its other brands including Fendi, De Beers and Moet to help celebrate its debut at the London International Boat Show.

The UK-built 32M, a long range cruising yacht boasting a huge saloon among other amenities, is available with a choice of four or five cabins including a master suite with a split level bathroom, two or three double bedrooms and a twin room. Several lavish interior design schemes from the likes of fashion houses Fendi and Armani Casa are available. The finishing touches like carrara marble baths are worthy of any luxury hotel. Next up the company plans to launch a 132-ft. version in 2012 with luxe options like a matching set of Louis Vuitton luggage.

Mystique Yacht For Sale

by Deidre Woollard (RSS feed) —

Filed under: Yachts & Sailing

The beautiful Mystique was designed by the late Jon Bannenberg for an owner who wanted a fast and shallow yacht. The 162-foot yacht was built by Oceanfast Australia and can hit 25 knots with a draft of only five feet. She's routinely on Power & Motoryacht's list of the biggest yachts and has been owned by Herb Galen, the founder of Ellen Tracy sportswear. The yacht was built in 1989 but has been kept in excellent condition with recent refits to upgrade the electronics and bridge controls with state of the art communications and navigation equipment. She has five cabins and room for 10 crew. She is listed at $14.9 million. The gallery below is stocked with interior shots revealing just how beautiful this cruiser is.

Riva Sante Yacht

Filed under: Yachts & Sailing

I love the sleek silver and dark exterior of this 2005 Riva yacht. It looks like the type of yacht a fabulous villain in a movie might use in an oceangoing getaway. The rather dark exterior of this 68-foot yacht contrasts with a light and contemporary interior. The yacht has a deck saloon that can be enclosed and air-conditioned or left open to catch the breezes. The pictures are of a sistership but the Sante is for sale for 2.1 million euros.

The Alfa Nero Has One Cool Pool

by Deidre Woollard (RSS feed) —

Filed under: Yachts & Sailing

Often on private yachts an on-deck hot tub is the best you can hope for when it comes to having a dunk on board. That's not the case with Oceanco's latest project the Alfa Nero. This striking yacht has a 23 by 11.5 foot swimming pool, one of the largest to be built on a luxury yacht. The pool area can also be converted, through the use of hydraulics, into a dance floor, entertaining area, or even a helipad. The impressive yacht was launched this spring and has an interior design that melds contemporary design with a touch of Art Deco. Yacht lovers can get their fill of this beauty at the Monaco Yacht Show later this year. Until then, we'll have to content ourselves with the spy shots on VesselTracker.

The new 100 foot sloop Y3K from Wally Yacht was recently launched during a private ceremony. The new Y3K is an evolution of the old Y3K yacht, a 94-foot sloop which was sold and re-named Angle's share by her new owners. The new Y3K combines the lines of German Frers with the classic Wally style. The interior configuration is a bit different, the salon is aft and the owner's stateroom is located in the front of the vessel. The new Y3K is currently undergoing sea trails. She will be delivered to her new owner at then end of the month and then head off to Portofino to get ready for her first regatta in May.

Even Luxury Yachts Can Sink

by Nicole Weston (RSS feed) —

Filed under: Yachts & Sailing

Shortly after setting out with their brand new Fairline Squadron 58, a 60-foot luxury yacht, two Norwegian men ran it into some submerged rocks and it sank. The men abandoned the sinking ship in the rubber lifeboat, which also started to sink. The Norwegian rescue crews believe that the men were relying too much on their electronic charts and it was an error in navigation (either an error in reading the charts or in the charts themselves) that caused the boat to hit the rocks. The yacht was valued at $2 million and featured four bedrooms, with room for 10 people.

The lesson learned here is that, while fancy electronic equipment is great in a yacht, it's also good if you know how to sail before you set out. And that it's probably a good idea to check the condition of the life boat, just to be safe.

Riva Venere 75

Filed under: Yachts & Sailing

My Italian is rusty, but thanks to Systran, the page containing the first live shots of the Venere 75 is almost readable. Details of the Ferretti Group yacht include a 32 knot top and 29 knot cruise, 54 ton gross weight, and a 1,453 gallon fuel tank. The photos indicate a very open design with gorgeous sloping glass and plenty of hardwood. (On a side note, YachtWorld.com has one listed for sale at 3.3 million Euro)
