30 Seconds on Board: The World’s Coolest Yacht Videos

Delivered last year, the 55 metre Full displacement Heesen superyacht Vida features naval architecture by Van Oossanen Naval Architects and exterior styling by Omega Architects. Interior styling meanwhile has been penned by Francesco Paszkowski and Margherita Casprini, with Be Design Associates from Florida. The interior is decorated in natural materials along with a soft and warm colour palette and has accommodation for a total of 12 guests on the lower deck. Vida now acts as mothership to the owner’s fleet of sportfish yachts, carrying extra fuel for the smaller vessels.

The famed 53.6 metre explorer yacht Itasca was originally built in 1961 by Dutch yard J&K Smit as one of four oceangoing salvage tugs, of which it is the only survivor.

The yacht also features a helicopter pad, complete with a refuelling system.

Owned by American chemical engineer and biologist Dr Jonathan Rothberg, it isn’t hard to understand where Gene Machine got her name.

When looking at her dramatic lines and futuristic trimaran form, it is easy to forget that Adastra was launched six years ago by McConaghy Boats. We stepped on board at the Antigua Charter Show to see what delights she has in store.

Part of the successful OA 112 series, Sugaray was launched in 2017 by Ocean Alexander. Featuring the stylistic flair of Evan K.
