Bahia Mar/Pier 66 - June 2005

Like I said, the places I took these pics are going to be random in order. Sorry, just don't have time to correlate them, but they are in alphabetical order.

This is "Lady Breanna", a 112' Ferretti at Pier 66's waterway cafe. I don't know about you, but I like a boat with lot of freeboard and low-profile superstructure. Notice the arch is incorporated into the original mold. It's not an add-on. That's some serious tooling!

Across the canal from Pier 66's Waterway Cafe is this 103' Maiora "Sashay", built in 1999.

Here Sashay is seen from the bow. One of my pet-peeves, is when "blacked-out" sections of the deck-housing give the appearance of windows, when in fact... they are not. Give me windows, full length and life size... or I'm buying another boat! Half the reason for being onboard is to enjoy the view! Otherwise, she has some of the sexiest lines afloat. (disclaimer: with the exception of my passenger)

Just to mix things up a bit, if you're onboard this boat... you're probably a tourist.

Here's a line of yachts that don't receive nearly enough press. Neptunus is building some outstanding boats. We're beginning to see alot more of them around. This is "Paramour", northbound under the 17th Street Causeway bridge.

The Bannenberg designed, 98' Oceanfast "Gazelle" has taken up residence at Pier 66 and is one of the reasons I remain an enthusiast. How can you NOT observe this boat without infinate astonishment and a child-like curiosity.

The perfect picture? It's as if the building and the boat were equally inspired.

Across the intracoastal, docked at the Marriott... Palmer Johnson's 137' "Lady Jenn"...

YachtForums · 06-20-2005, 01:34 PM

Another Palmer Johnson, this is the 131' "Second Chance", docked at Bahia Mar.

YachtForums · 06-20-2005, 01:36 PM

Another angle... or, second chance.

The tender is as long, as the beam is wide on this PJ...

This is...

Well, I don't know what this is! The name is Elizabeth and she's located across the canal from the Pier 66 water suites. Thought our trawler fans might enjoy...

And now for the grand finale...

Here's a few to jog your memory, test your knowledge and otherwise leave you totally envious...

At the Hall of Fame Marina's outer docks, this 138 footer was built by Sterling. Do you know the name?

YachtForums · 06-20-2005, 01:51 PM

This 120 footer wasn't built on the east coast or the west coast, but another coast. Do you know the builder and can you guess the name? By the way, this thing is some kind of spectacular when you get up close!

Looks a little like a Sovereign or a Northcoast, but it's not. This one is a bit more difficult to identify. She's 105' long. (it's Cinderella's sister.

)

YachtForums · 06-20-2005, 01:57 PM

This was a custom build by one of America's largest yacht builders. She's 118' long and was built (I think!) around 1998. The answer might surprise you. Go ahead... take a guess.
