James Packard's Vintage Yacht For Sale

Filed under: Water

This beautiful old yacht has a long history. The Matthews yacht was custom built in 1903 as a day cruiser for James Packard, the car manufacturer. This flush-deck type motor yacht has dual cabins and was used by Mr. Packard on Chautauqua Lake, New York hosting guests including Henry Ford and Thomas Edison. It represents the great beginnings of wooden motor yachts and has white oak frames with white cedar planking and mahogany interior trim. The exterior hardware is brass and the running lights and spotlight which were manufactured prior to 1890 were once oil lamps which have been converted to electric. This yacht was designated as a U.S. Postal boat in the 1970s and was portrayed on a special stamp. The nearly 42-foot yacht is listed for $750,000.

The Sleek Sentori 58R Yacht

by Deidre Woollard (RSS feed) —

Filed under: Water

Yacht design renderings don't get much sexier than these. The Sentori 58R was dreamed up by Christian Gumpold and Christopher Gloning while they were working on their diploma thesis at the university of applied science in Graz, Austria. The 58-foot flybridge yacht has three decks and the vessel is powered by 2x 715 HP Volvo Penta diesel engines and can reach a topspeed of about 30 knots. The main deck includes the open air stern, pantry, dinette, and main helm station. The owner's state room, vip cabin, and guest cabin, each ensuite are located in the lower deck. The third deck holds a second helm station, lounge area, sunbathing area and the wet bar. This second helm station can be protected with a sliding transparent panel.

The Sentori 58R was designed to be lower and wider than other flybridge yachts. Its beautiful juxtaposition of light and dark with a black and gray hull set against a loft-like airy and white and light wood interior give the yacht a very modern feel. The first prototype is currently under construction in Turkey and should be out in the Spring.

The first thing that you notice about Slipstream is that its not one of those bright white generic yachts, the black hull and silver superstructure immediately attracts attention.

Filed under: Water

Vripack ship brokers sold the exploration yacht Turmoil last year and now they have put her sister ship on the market. Dardanella is a 121-foot research vessel designed to travel all around the world. The yacht has a full aluminum construction and underwent a refit in 2006/2007 in which the hull was painted, the decks were re-done, the main engines were overhauled and more. The yacht accommodates the owners plus eight guests and six crew, combining a tough exterior with a luxurious interior. The tenders are kept on the main foredeck and are launched and retrieved by using a giant crane. The most recent owner didn't have Dardanella very long, she was sold in April last year.

ISA Yachts Launches Firouzeh

by Deidre Woollard (RSS feed) —

Filed under: Water

The last yacht I featured was another Ancona launch and also a bright white motor yacht, but there the similarities end. This yacht, Firouzeh, is the sixth yacht of the ISA 120 series from ISA yachts and was recently revealed. The 36-meter (118 feet) yacht is built for speed. Yesterday's 141-foot Emerald Star glides along at a cruising speed of 13 knots while Firouzeh prowls the water at a 30 knot cruising speed and maxes out at 36 knots. She is powered by three MTU 2000 hp engines with two lateral water jets and a central booster jet. The trade off for the sleek look is less open air deck space of the kind we saw on the Emerald Star. The interior was designed by the Cristiano Gatto Design Team and there seem to be some mockups on their website (look under 2007, ISA 120) that hint at a very modern style with dark furnishings, pale walls and innovative use of glass and wood.

Blue Ice Yacht

Filed under: Water

The sleek yacht Blue Ice has recently hit the market. The 135-foot Baglietto yacht is not your everyday cruiser. First of all her metallic gray paint gives her a very high-tech look. On the flying bridge there is a large dining table and a false smoke turret which is home to a small gym, a bathroom and a galley. There is a large saloon, dining room and owner's office which are flooded with light and views. Spiral stairs lead to both upper and lower decks and another independent one links the owner's studio to his stateroom. There is a full beam owner's suite and then a single, a twin and a double cabins for guests. The yacht was built in 1995 and went through a refit last year. She sells for $15.861 million. You can find a gorgeous picture of the yacht here that shows off how nice the paint can look in the right light.

Filed under: Water

BYM News reports the sad news that the Cardigrae VI, a classic megayacht, sank on Friday in the harbor of Saint Maria di Leuca in Italy. There had been a fire onboard. Local authorities worked to contain the pollution following the leaking of the boat's oil. The fire was caused by a short circuit and burned for almost 10 hours weakening the yacht until it sank. The boat was towed into the Italian port after being severely damaged by fire while cruising off the Italian coast. The 130-foot motoryacht was built in 1962 by Camper and Nicholsons. You can see interior pictures of the yacht as she was before the fire at the Camper and Nicholsons website.

We've covered the impressive 71-meter Utopia megayacht before and now Edmiston announces that she has been sold. Utopia is the second largest Feadship ever built.

Details include owner's deck with a stateroom, study, gym, pantry, lounge and outdoor private Jacuzzi, helicopter platform, a tender garage, three guest suites and two VIP staterooms and room for 20 crew members. No price was given but since she charters for around $436,000 per week it's definitely up there. The yacht will still be available on the charter market.
