What's your favorite yacht?

Definitively the new Lurssen Air has something brilliant in her design. The color of the hull seems incredible!

I agree... AIR's color is second only to the Wallypower 118s.

For a production yacht (is "stock design" more accurate?) I like the Moonen 84.

For most beautiful superyacht the Excellence III gets my vote.

previously i voted for cover drive. she is still a favourite cos i just love flybridges on big yachts. As KCook said EXCELLENCE III is a beautiful design. For production yachts, i would vote also for the Custom Line 112' yachts which are just sick. I would also vote for the Baglietto 105 open. you see how it goes...so many nice yachts. ILONA, her superstructure is so beautiful. OCTOPUS, PELORUS.......ANDIAMO she is beautiful also. ........ELLIX TOO....wow.....although i really like so much the large deck and interior spaces of RM ELEGANT.

I vote Virginian, does anyone have a picture?

If there is no limit...

then it would be something like Octopus, but bigger and with an other backround. Ok, in the "Abramovich to build the..." thread I wrote that to big may be not good, but if the operatingarea needs big ships this would be needful. I have designed my dream yacht but I am not able to present it to you, it is only existing on paper. So to imagine what it is you may take the Lars design PANDORA and add the OCTOPUS bridge. Add also one deck and bring them on one level.

Mainly she would operate in the colder waters of all ocean Kerguelen, Bouvet, Greenland, Peter I Oy Island, so a minimum range of 10.000 nm would be needed.

Specifications:
- Highest Ice class, Azipod, Pumpjets
- indoor Badmintoncourt, swimming and wellnessarea over two decks,
- two Sikorsky S-76C+ with hangar
- Skydinning room like on some cruisingships
- two Mercedes S600, two VW Touareg Expedition
- Sunseeker Superhawk 48, SY Ravell 42 by Yachtwerft Dick
- a 12x8m hovercraft built by Aker, Submarine SST Long Ranger
- all tenders and toys stowed under deck (not visible from outside)
- Interior design by Andrew Winch
- Exterior design by Rob Humphreys
- length somewhere between 170 to 200 m

The 84 previously owned by Prince Bernhard is for sale in Holland; €2.7 mil.

How about a Benetti Classic, the new 120' one, with interioir on the line of Pelorus with and Azimut 68s as a tender?
Or the Azimut 116'...

I think you mean the classic 85´Jumbo?

nice!!!

Chris

ok

OK Got it
That was a shot across the bow I guess??

Thanks
Chris

My favourite does not exist yet, but...propulsion of Air (the diesel-electric driven azipods!) , interior styling of Pelorus (the lounges !) , interior layout features of Ilona (the helicopter garage , the main deck arrangement) , exterior styling of Carinthia VII or even Limitless , build by Feadship....that mix would do a lot to make my favourite!

I hear you! And I agree on most of the yachts mentioned, but I must say that Carinthia looks better on pictures than in reality whereas Limitless looks even better in reality...

There is a unique contrast of forms on Katana that still gets me to to back and look every week or so.

hi,
if there's no limit, well, i want to have a yacht about 350m cat or trimaran, with
some specials like a forest or something more strange

with limit?

well very simple an classic:
Nimbus Commander 475 or 410
i've seen the 410 on the haseboot at hamburg, very nice boat
Nimbus boats

I agree Limitless looks fantastic. I saw here a few times in the Caribic.
I took Carinthia into my mix mainly because of the nice upper sun deck of Carinthia......which is an important part of my dream yacht > like the owner of Mylin once said, what is a yacht more than an expensive way of carrying a sun deck.....maybe a suggestion for a new thread : the best sun deck....

Best sundeck ever!
