True liveaboard luxury

As you would expect on an offshore sailboat, the Oyster 745 is luxurious and well-appointed, for weekend cruising or setting sail around the world. Below decks, the large hull volume offers versatile choices to customise the layout. The generous aft ensuite owner’s cabin is luxurious and light, with signature triple Seascape windows connecting you to spectacular views. A further three ensuite guest cabins let you make the most of the space. The forward-opening saloon windows and Seascapes flood the saloon with light, making it a delightful space in which to entertain or relax. Her saloon table can seat eight or more comfortably, or you can dine in the cockpit with up to 12 guests on the fold-out table with its integrated refrigerator. Mood lighting and air-conditioning come as standard, along with forced-air ventilation to keep the yacht dry and comfortable in any climate.

THE LUXURY OF SPACE

This expansive 75 foot sailboat is designed for sailing and relaxing in style. The protected guest cockpit is incredibly comfortable, with 20% more space than our smaller models. Its smart layout and sprayhood make it a dry, safe and relaxing place to enjoy the views under sail. At anchor, she has all the amenities needed to spend quality time with friends and family. The clutter-free decks offer wide open spaces fore and aft for sunbathing. The extended transom option opens up more entertaining space aft and a larger, full width lazarette for all your bluewater cruising and water sports gear. The hydraulic swim deck is another perfect spot to enjoy a sundowner after a day under sail. Below, a dedicated chart table with the latest navigation equipment can also be personalised for homeworking.

All-New Sunseeker 75 Sport Yacht Review (2023 Edition)

A direct development of the 74 Sports Yacht, the 75 makes some important changes to the styling and finish, but perhaps more importantly leaves certain key design features in place.

Like its predecessor, the 75 comes as a single-deck Predator or the sportsbridge Sports Yacht model we have here. Most of the tweaks and new features will be found on both models, from a redesigned transom to the impressive technical upgrade of an RCD category A rating, the highest rating for a leisure yacht in the EU. With 40 knots on tap that is quite a statement from this pedigree British builder. We took a look over hull #1 at the 2023 Düsseldorf Boat Show.

Our Scores Explained

Design & Build

Fans of the old (but not that old) 74 Sport Yacht or Predator will find lots to like here, mainly because it’s pretty much the same boat. The hull, engineering platform, layout and overall design are the same.

That means we know it will hit close to 40 knots with twin 1,900hp MAN V12 engines, ride like a racer if you feel in the mood or push along confidently all day at 25 knots. The performance is enhanced by Interceptor tabs, thrusters and a stabiliser. The standard issue hydraulics for the high-low platform being put to good effect here.

Three Over Four

We have a pretty good idea that buyers will favour the three-cabin layout over the optional fourth bunked cabin, with its super-sociable lower diner arrangement - guaranteed to be everyone’s favourite place to congregate.

Another stand-out feature, the excellent and vast aft deck lounge still comes with its theatrical drop-down cockpit door system, opening up the salon to the aft deck to create one long sweep of inside-outside living space.  

Tweaks & Changes

So what has changed? Staying inside, the XPS version of the 74, with its upgraded sports interior, now forms the basis for the new 75's finish. Put simply, what was once a cool carbon-detailed cost option now comes as standard on the 75.

We have to pay homage to Sunseeker’s decision to make the Sport Yacht and Predator RCD Cat A, something that required a beefed-up engineering approach and underlines the inherent quality of the hull and build. To reach Cat A the main deck construction has been strengthened, stability and down-flooding improved and overall compliance upgraded. Sunseeker tells us that all of this was delivered without losing any performance identity for the yachts.   

The new hull colours introduced, including a range of greys, black and navy blue, are pigmented gel-coat and rated to withstand high temperatures. This attention to detail and the practicalities of global yachting were noted on the 100 Yacht and the same LSA (Low Solar Absorbtion) coating is used on the sportsbridge moulding, a black finish that is laid over a white gel to further reduce heat transfer. What it all means for you is a cooler yacht and one whose looks won't fade.

There have been some tweaks to the windows around the helm, with even deeper glass sections to each side for guests and the skipper to look through. The window design below decks has also been adjusted slightly, with new stainless steel trims added.  A more obvious change is found aft. The same dual tender garage remains, with room for a Williams 395 and PWC, but the entire transom has been redesigned so the garage door appears central, with equal steps to each side in place of the old offset look.

Interior Accommodation

The new finish only adds to the feeling of space across the deck salon. Light cabinetry and modern fabrics are surrounded by deep windows, the amount of glass around the salon impresses in a boat show hall, it will wow on the water. 

The sunroof above the helm hasn’t been increased in size but with the cockpit doors dropped away, the interior is allowed to breathe in the seascape beyond, with the starboard lounge merging with its cockpit counterpart. 

The port side cabinetry is perfect for stowing cruising gear but it can be switched for a facing sofa. Depending on how long you intend to stay on board, the extra storage space feels a priority and the 75 hardly lacks seating.

Social Scene

The Sport Yacht and Predator both have sociable helm stations, with elevated guest seating. But these work equally well as part of the salon, creating the chance for people to spread out but very much remain connected.

Social life is the key to the boat’s below decks success. The forward VIP, twin cabin and full-beam stateroom are all impressive and ensuite. But it is the galley diner that stands out. A lower galley might not be for everyone. If you like to cook in anger, having the galley and its accompanying steam, smells and smoke up and aft makes more sense. But if cooking onboard is more about breakfast, light lunches and nightcaps this layout can’t be beaten. 

The galley itself features excellent cold storage and plenty of cupboard space. The diner lies forward, so guests can talk, eat, raid the refrigerator, place their orders (this is, technically a crewed yacht) and generally enjoy a good time in privacy. And besides, if you do want to cook in anger, there is a grill on the aft deck and sportsbridge.

Carbon Special

The owner’s stateroom is a great place to experience the new interior finish. There are plenty of options on the final specification, with various cabinetries and fabrics as well as en-suite options, but the sports-luxe attitude will remain with slick lighting and carbon-fibre inlays.

The crew quarters lie aft, accessed through a transom door. In truth, the 75 Sport Yacht doesn’t feel like a crewed yacht, because it’s so easy to get around and so much fun to drive. But at 23m you may want a hand and two crew can sleep in the quarters, along with a toilet compartment and useful utility area.

Helm Station

The starboard-side lower helm design hasn’t changed massively from the 74, nor should it. You still have two fully adjustable seats and that very useful side deck door. The main console design has room for two 16in MFD screens with a smart, illuminated panel of switches running across a lower console. 

There is one change to the helm, and it’s a big one. The old three-piece windscreen is now two massive sections of glass, reducing the amount of mullion to get in the way. With the new, deeper, side screen design, visibility is going to be very good. 

Up & Over

The upper helm sits to port, a useful thing for alongside mooring that means you can helm from the nearest point. That said you will probably choose to moor from up top most of the time, given the visibility and ease of looking down both sides of the boat. The upper helm design is sporty in a more minimal way, with its clinical white console and skeletal carbon-framed seats. 

As a true performance yacht, there is a very good chance guests will want to enjoy the ride up with the skipper, so you have two excellent guest seating areas for the lower and upper helm.   

Deck lifestyle

If it weren’t for the lure of the private lower deck diner, there would be a strong argument for never leaving the aft deck lounge. A full outdoor living area, the deck includes a massive sweep of seating to starboard, sat protectively within the sportsbridge overhang and muscular side pillars. 

The old basic seat infill that allowed access to the starboard deck has now been replaced by a slick sliding base. The optional carbon fibre dining table is now standard and a new wet bar under the sportsbridge steps can take a larger refrigerator. Beyond the lounge, the sun pad is now slightly extended, as part of the transom redesign. 

Sportsbridge Space

The sportsbridge itself has a newly configured seating layout with a big dining area aft and a forward lounge, both of the smart, solid teak tables converting down into what would be around an acre of sun pad. 

Before we leave the sportsbridge, there is a small but important design change to the radar mast. This was a fairly functional-looking aluminium design but is now a much smarter and more streamlined moulded section, one that will roll out across other models.

Back down on the main deck, those new transom steps make access to and from the hydraulic bathing platform so easy and there is now a moulded staircase to allow bathers the easiest of routes in and out of the water.

Value For Money

Sunseeker isn’t generally thought of as a ‘best value’ option. Matters such as performance, style and pedigree are the main associations. But has the British builder pulled off a trick with this 75? The final specification has a massive say on the true, on-the-water, price at this size but the base price of around €3 millin ex VAT (correct at time of writing) looks very competitive and gives buyers the freedom to really specify their yacht as they want.

A stabiliser is now a given, even on a 40-knot boat, and will add a dent to the budget but the hydraulic package is already in place.

The main question is usually whether to spec the uprated engines, moving from the base 1,550hp MANs to the 1,900hp option. But this is a Sunseeker, so of course you do.  

The 75 Sport Yacht and soon-to-be-released Predator have smoothed, tuned and tweaked the 74, keeping all the good stuff and adding the kind of details that you might not necessarily notice at first but will appreciate endlessly. Two major advantages are the RCD boost and XPS trim which both come as standard. Elsewhere, the new transom works well stylistically and the aft deck seating infill will no longer annoy you. But it is the overall package, for a price just as aggressive as the 75 Sport Yacht’s design, that will make this model a continued success.

Reasons to Buy

• Inside-outside social design
• RCD Cat A and 40-knot performance
• Competitive price
• New design for 2023

Things to Consider

• No upper galley option
• Small engine bay hatch

The sportsbridge concept makes a lot of sense above 20m, often delivering an upper deck that, whilst not to flybridge levels on space, is big and impressive enough to be enjoyed.

One yacht that matches the Sunseeker on sportsbridge space and style is the beautifully styled Princess S72 , with a near-identical layout up top. The S72 can hit 36 knots with the smaller 1,650hp MAN engines but weighs in at a heftier 55 tonnes, suggesting some seriously good hull design. Inside, the four-cabin design has the galley aft with a separate dining area.

Azimut has two S models to consider, the S7 is a slightly smaller, 22m, boat. Powered by triple IPS pods the S7 will hit around 35 knots and has a four-cabin interior with its galley up and, unusually, forward up by the helm.

The S8 is slightly larger at 25m but actually has a smaller sportsbridge. You feel the space inside, however, with a long spread of lounge and dining on the main deck and four cabins and the galley below.

Riva’s 37-knot Perseo Super is a boat we know well and one you need to look at, even if its mix of sports style and GT luxury isn’t quite for you. Beautifully built and designed on the outside, the three-cabin interior is part yacht, part supercar.

Sunseeker 75 Sport Yacht Layout

At this size of yacht, the sportsbridge feels very much at flybridge levels on luxury and specification, if not quite on space. That said, the 75's upper deck is one of the biggest in this sector. 

A great balance between salon and aft deck space creates two lounges and that inside-outside flow we want. Having the galley down helps salon space and there is no option to move it up, as most rivals do. 

The lower galley and dinette is an undoubted feature but it does make the 75 a three-cabin boat.

Boat of the Week: This Wave-Piercing 75-Foot Explorer Yacht Is Designed to Dominate Stormy Seas

With her wave-piercing hull and bulletproof windshield, "enmer" takes on the roughest waters and still works as a stylish, comfy cruiser., howard walker, howard walker's most recent stories.

It’s a boater’s worst nightmare. Howling 40-knot winds churning-up near-vertical 20-feet walls of frothing sea. Add to the maelstrom a vicious rip-tide, horizontal rain and menacing coal-black skies. Definitely not a good day for a cocktail cruise around the bay.

This was the punishing sea-trial inflicted on the newly christened Enmer , a no-nonsense 75-foot XSV20 explorer yacht, before being delivered to her new owner, French billionaire and passionate yachtsman Jack Setton.

Even the delivery was extreme. Before Monsieur Setton was handed the keys, Enmer went on a 2,500-mile, high-speed blast from builder Safehaven Marine’s yard in Cork, Ireland, to her new slip in ritzy Porto Cervo, Sardinia.

Now, after more than a year of cruising the Med and Caribbean, Setton has decided to sell the military-grade Enmer – the name is French for “At Sea,” with an asking price of about $2.35 million. “It’s time for me to lose a lot of money, which I seem to do regularly with my boats, and let someone else enjoy her,” Setton told Robb Report .

Setton’s past acquisitions have included the rugged 194-foot expedition yacht Senses , the 60-foot high-performance sailing yacht Ciao Gianni , named after his close friend, the late Fiat boss Gianni Agnelli, and the record-shattering 110-foot “Maxi” catamaran Swift . After his last “project,” the converted 105-foot Texas commercial fishing boat Pink Shrimp, which Setton transformed it into a luxurious world traveler, the Frenchman went looking for something equally rugged, but faster.

Setton found it in the XSV20, with an innovative, wave-piercing hull, thundering 51-mph top speed and go-anywhere capability. “I’ve always loved boats that look rugged on the outside but are comfortable inside—boats with no frills that I know will get the job done,” he says.

The pilothouse is no-nonsense, with shock-absorbing seats and an inch-thick ballistics-glass windshield that is shatterproof.  Courtesy Edmiston

The serial yacht owner worked with Safehaven to fine-tune the design, installing twin 1,150-hp Cat C18s hooked-up to waterjets. For Setton, the goal was less complexity, easier maintenance and better low-speed maneuverability. Those factors were important since it would be primarily Setton and his girlfriend who would cruise on the boat.

What didn’t change was the XSV20’s unique hull design. It starts as a carbon fiber and Kevlar-reinforced mono hull with a knife-like, wave-piercing bow. This then flows back into a deep-V mid-section, then seamlessly transitions into twin, catamaran-style hulls. He used inch-thick ballistic glass for the forward windows to provide extra protection for the wheelhouse.

Not a fan of boats that careen over waves, Setton designed a unique ballasting system. “It keeps the nose down, so the boat acts like a submarine, punching straight through the waves,” he says. “We experienced some bad conditions in the Med and it took everything incredibly well.”

The wave-piercing hull is a unique design for a motoryacht but serves the owner’s passion for going mano-a-mano with big ocean swells.  Courtesy Edmiston

Though fast, Setton prefers to run at slower speeds. “Yes, she’ll get up to 51 mph but she’s a lot happier at 40,” he says. Come down to 30 mph and she’ll cover over 600 nautical miles without refueling. You have a lot of performance and range.”

The interior was designed to be simple, yet comfortable enough for long cruises. Below decks, there’s a master suite, a guest cabin and crew quarters in the bow. When the seas turn gnarly, the pilothouse features four SHOXS commercial-grade, shock-absorbing helm and passenger seats for safety and comfort.

Setton thinks the next owner will either be someone looking for a boat to turn heads cruising into St. Tropez or an experienced sailor looking for adventures. “I need someone who is as passionate about the boat as I am,” he says. “I admit that I have turned down buyers in the past who didn’t understand what my boats were about. I’m optimistic I’ll find the right person.”

At rest, Enmer has a handsome profile, along with an exposed upper helm and open rear deck for relaxing in the sunshine.  Courtesy Edmiston

Enmer , currently moored in the South of France, is listed with Edmiston and judel/vrolijk & co. Here’s a video of the yacht in action.

Absolute Yachts Navetta 75 Reviewed

• By Patrick Sciacca
• March 21, 2023

It’s challenging to create a yacht that looks and feels formidable yet inviting. Rugged, luxurious. But all these descriptors came to mind as I toured the Absolute Yachts Navetta 75, the Italian builder’s new Navetta-series flagship in a line with six other Navetta models starting at 48 feet length overall.

Absolute gives each new model a theme, and the Navetta 75’s is “the absolute sphere.” The idea is that a sphere represents perfect balance and harmony. Consider the yacht’s DNA: The Navetta 75 is, indeed, an exercise in balance, including its overall proportions, performance, use of glazing, and interior and exterior real estate’s form and function.

The Navetta comes in at 74 feet, 10 inches length overall with an 18-foot-5-inch beam. It carries a good bit of that beam forward, enhancing internal volume. A beneficiary of this design is the master stateroom. The space is forward on its own level with a private entrance just a few steps down from the main salon. There is 6-foot-6-inch headroom, and the stateroom is made to feel even larger with a light-oak sole and natural light passing through the hullside windows. There is a forward-facing berth, and a vanity with a work desk is to port. Forward of the berth is the en suite head with his-and-hers sinks on centerline. A shower stall is to starboard, and the toilet is to port. It’s whisper quiet in this stateroom underway, and the ocean vistas are as impressive as they are relaxing.

Guests can relax as well, since all three staterooms belowdecks have either hullside windows or port views. There is a full-beam VIP amidships with an en suite head to port and a vanity to starboard. The head is outboard, running longitudinally, with a sink in the middle and a toilet forward. The shower stall is aft. As in the master stateroom, average headroom here is 6 feet, 6 inches, and natural light and views are courtesy of 36-inch-long, 26-inch-high hullside windows. Forward and to port is a second guest stateroom with an athwartship berth and an en suite head. Both the VIP and this stateroom are accessed via space-saving pocket doors. The third guest stateroom is to starboard with twin berths and in-room access to a day head, which can also be accessed from the companionway.

Sole-to-ceiling glass encompasses most of the superstructure, creating a main deck that feels infinite and is connected to the sea nearly 360 degrees. This design is enhanced further with the yacht’s cut-down and open bulwarks. Narrow stainless-steel supports are all that occasionally come into view while looking outward when seated. In fact, the windows adjacent to the formal dining table for eight people—set amidships and to port—are nearly 8 feet long by 4½-plus feet high. Abaft the dining area are two settees in an L-shaped configuration, as well as a loose chair. A coffee table pulls the space together as a cozy conversation nook. The interior spaces are made to feel warm, thanks to tasteful indirect lighting.

Forward of the dining area—also on the port side—is the Navetta 75’s galley. Equipped for serious at-sea meal prep, it’s outfitted with Miele appliances, including a convection oven, a full-height fridge and freezer, a four-burner cooktop and an Isotherm ice maker. During my time on board, the galley was open to the salon, but this space can be closed off during formal occasions. If it is closed, crew can access the Navetta 75’s side decks via a pantograph door to port, to serve guests discreetly.

The all-weather lower helm is a couple of steps up from the salon. It is set up with twin helm seats, three Garmin multifunction displays, a bow-thruster control and a joystick to manage the twin Volvo Penta IPS1350 diesels around the dock. Cockpit joystick controls are optional. The upper helm is where I spent my wheel time; it can be accessed internally from the lower helm or externally via the cockpit. The helm is on centerline with unobstructed sightlines.

I ran the Navetta 75 off Cannes, France, on a light and variable morning with near-flat, calm seas. I found the yacht relatively nimble and real-time responsive to wheel input with minimal inboard heel on hard-over turns. It was a confidence-inspiring driving experience.

With the throttle on the pins, top speed was 24.9 knots at 2,470 rpm. At top hop, fuel burn is about 102 gallons per hour. Considering a 10 percent reserve on the yacht’s 1,057-gallon fuel capacity, range is around 232 nautical miles. Dial the engines back to 2,100 rpm and a cruise speed of 19.6 knots, and fuel burn drops to 67 gph, while range increases to about 279 nm. Slow cruise at 1,800 rpm and 14.8 knots for fuel consumption of 47 gph and range of 300 nm. For longer voyaging, the Navetta 75 has a 541 nm range at a 10.8-knot jog.

In addition to the upper deck being command central on fair-weather days, it’s also laid out for alfresco entertaining. Owners can personalize the layout here. This Navetta 75 had settee seating for about six guests, plus two chaise longues aft with views of the Côte d’Azur through the glass balustrade. An alfresco dining table under the hardtop is also available here, as well as a sink, a Kenyon grill and a bar, making this a great spot to take in Bimini’s aquamarine waters while grilling some mahimahi for the family. When the sun goes down, indirect lighting sets the mood. Open the hardtop’s retractable roof for stargazing.

The Navetta 75’s foredeck creates yet another alfresco social zone with a sun pad for four guests, and built-in U-shaped seating and a table for sundowners with friends.

I wrote the word “complete” in my notes as I exited the Absolute Yachts Navetta 75. Its effective layout, optimized spaces, admirable performance, luxury flourishes and ability for owners to personalize their yacht makes it a vessel that checks off a lot of must-have boxes. For yachting enthusiasts who are ready to level up to a vessel that is at the border of owner-operator and the crewed-yacht experience, the Navetta 75 is an eminently cruise-worthy consideration.

Room for Crew

Absolute Navetta 75 owners may choose to have full- or part-time crew. To that end, abaft the engine room are two berths for crew. One of the berths is in a separate cabin. The second berth also serves as seating for meals. A window slides up, providing fresh air and access to the teak swim platform. There is also a head with a separate shower stall, a table, and a side-by-side Miele washer and dryer for laundry day.

Here Comes the Sun

About half of the Absolute Navetta 75’s flybridge can be covered with a hardtop. If extra sunshine is desired, the hardtop retracts about 80 percent of its total length. With only a few structural elements—and the fact that owners can personalize this space to accommodate their entertainment-at-sea lifestyle—there is a lot of flexibility in how this deck can be used.

Livable Yacht

Luxury living, seamless spaces.

Live in comfort and luxury in total autonomy, and enjoy life between the sea, the sky, and the city. Dock in a metropolitan marina or anchor in a tranquil bay. There’s just something about living on the water, coming home to the light shimmering on the surface after a long day in the city. It’s an experience you’ll never forget.

Total living space : 4,350 sqft Indoor living space : 2,700 sqft Bedrooms : 4 Bathrooms : 4.5

Avant-Garde Engineering

Technical features.

ARKUP livable yachts combine the best attributes of yachts, floating houses, and waterfront villas, with the added benefits of being self-sufficient, sustainable, and environmentally friendly. The ARKUP livable yacht was conceived to be “future-proof”, from its ability to withstand or avoid extreme weather events to its self-contained systems that allow fully off-the-grid living.

WHAT IS THE TYPICAL USE FOR ARKUP LIVABLE YACHTS? Owners can use the livable yacht as a recreational vessel that can provide the feel and comfort of home. For investors, the vessels represent an unparalleled opportunity as seasonal or event rentals (in compliance with local regulations depending on the jurisdiction).

LIVING ON THE WATER: WHAT ARE THE WORLD TRENDS OF THIS NEW LIFESTYLE? Although Arkup’s livable yachts are vessels, they can be used as floating houses, which have become popular as housing in some parts of the world (for example, in the Netherlands, the American West Coast, and in Southeast Asia). Arkup livable yachts are “future-proof” dwellings, whose mobility and flexibility make them resilient to floods, storm surge, and sea-level rise. Used as overwater villas, they also offer a key solution to urban growth and space scarcity.

WHAT IS THE RESALE VALUE OF A LIVABLE YACHT OVER TIME? A simple, practical concept — modular, adaptable, and built to last — the Arkup livable yacht will hold its value over time.  Compared with those of a traditional yacht, the vessel’s operational expenses are limited, and its features are designed to withstand extreme weather events and changes in water level, making it the ideal home of the future.

WHAT IS THE PRICE RANGE OF AN ARKUP LIVABLE YACHT? The price of the 75-foot Arkup livable yacht starts at $3.5 M, up to $5.5 M. The vessel can be customized to the needs and taste of each client.

IS THE INTERIOR DESIGN CUSTOMIZABLE? The Arkup livable yacht can be delivered in a stripped-down version — decorator ready — or fully furnished and ready to move in. Bespoke projects can be developed to suit each client’s needs and tastes.

HOW MUCH TIME BETWEEN ORDER AND DELIVERY OF THE LIVABLE YACHT? Standard delivery time is 14 to 18 months after order confirmation and plans approval, depending on desired technology and customization.

WHERE CAN THE VESSELS BE DELIVERED? Manufactured in Miami, Arkup livable yachts are delivered via waterways to coastal areas, accessible interior lakes, and large rivers around the world (cost of delivery provided on request).

WHAT IS THE USUAL MAINTENANCE CHECKLIST? Maintenance is limited: changing filters, lubricating the hydraulic pilings, cleaning the hull, pumping out the wastewater tank, inspecting and testing safety-features inspections, washing the solar roof.

CAN ARKUP LIVABLE YACHTS BE USED AS SEASONAL RENTALS?

Arkup livable yachts can be chartered to carry as many as 12 passengers with or without a crew, operating as an Uninspected Passenger Vessel over 100 gross tons or as a Recreational Vessel — a bareboat charter — according to the U.S. Coast Guards’ safety standards and regulations.

IS THERE ANY TAX INCENTIVE FOR BUYING AN ARKUP LIVABLE YACHT? The maximum taxes levied on the sale of a vessel in the State of Florida are $18,000, including both sales and use tax and discretionary sales surtax. Although there is no direct tax incentive for purchasing a 100-percent solar-electric vessel, you will have no utility bills because the Arkup Livable Yacht generates its own power and water, and it can operate off-the-grid. The property tax does not apply to recreational vessels. The annual registration fee for an Arkup Livable Yacht is approximately $150.

WHERE CAN I LIVE WITH SUCH A VESSEL? The same kind of areas where large yachts dock: marina slips, private docks, waterfront properties, privately-owned submerged lands, or regulated anchorage.

IS IT A HOUSE OR A VESSEL IN VIEW OF LAWS AND REGULATIONS? It is a recreational vessel that must be registered and titled.

WHAT ARE THE ENVIRONMENTAL REGULATIONS FOR OPERATING AN ARKUP LIVABLE YACHT? Laws prohibit anchoring in protected areas in an effort to preserve the waters and sea bottoms. Black- and gray-water discharge must be conducted in compliance with the regulations of individual local jurisdictions.

HOW IS SAFETY ADDRESSED IN OPERATIONS? Safe operating procedures (navigation, boat lift, sliding terrace, and hydraulic pilings) are detailed in the operational manual and will be addressed during owner training. 

WHAT ARE ONBOARD SAFETY DEVICES? Glass railings and handrails, life vests, smoke detectors, sprinklers and fire extinguishers, alarms (smoke, bilge water, intrusion) and automated bilge pumps, lightning protection, CCTV cameras, and VHF are included. All alarms are connected and monitored in real-time.

WHAT TYPE OF WARRANTY DOES ARKUP OFFER? ARKUP offers 3 years on hull and superstructure, 2 years on power, jack-up, and propulsion systems, and 1 year on all items manufactured by Arkup. Accessories and components made by third parties installed by Arkup are covered by direct warranties of their own with a 12-month minimum coverage (i.e. electronic instruments, controls, accessories, air conditioning systems, appliances, windows, etc.)

WHAT ARE THE OPERATIONAL LIMITS OF THE VESSEL? The vessel is designed and engineered according to U.S. Coast Guard standards for recreational vessels in partially protected waters. The maximum anchoring depth is 25 feet (7.5 meters). The vessel is also compliant with the MCA LY3 Short Range Yacht stability criterion (waves < 1.83m/6 ft ; wind < 16kts).

WHAT DOES “HURRICANE-PROOF” MEAN? The Arkup livable yacht structure and anchoring system are designed to resist high winds of as much as 156 miles per hour, or 250 kilometers per hour — equivalent to a Category 4 hurricane. The vessel can be completely lifted out of the water to safeguard from storm surge. Hurricanes are predictable storm events, allowing enough time for owners to sail to a safe harbor or a protected area. The livable yachts are not made to stay in deep waters and exposed areas.

ARE ARKUP LIVABLE YACHTS CUSTOMIZABLE? The vessels are fully customizable on-demand and can incorporate anything the customer would like to include.

IS THERE A THERMIC ENGINE BACKUP FOR THE 100-PERCENT ELECTRIC MODEL? A diesel generator can be added upon request to increase range, but existing electric engines provide enough power to propel the vessel and navigate safely.

CAN YOU BOOST THE POWER OF THE ELECTRIC THRUSTERS? Yes. The two 136-horsepower thrusters can be upgraded. We can also boost electric-energy production and storage depending on the client’s needs.

WHAT HOME-AUTOMATION TECHNOLOGIES ARE INCORPORATED INTO THE ARKUP LIVABLE YACHTS? An Arkup livable yacht features state-of-the-art smart technologies and offers maximum living comfort by enabling the control of temperature, lights, electric shades, sound system, video surveillance, etc., remotely and monitored in real-time, providing the user with information on battery life and water-tank capacity, as well as overall energy generation-consumption ratios.

HOW DOES ARKUP LIVABLE YACHT FLOAT AND NAVIGATE? Flotation is ensured by Archimedes. Our livable yacht is equipped with two 136-horsepower (100-kilowatt) electric thrusters that rotate 180 degrees, allowing smooth navigation and maneuverability.

WHAT ABOUT COMMUNICATIONS AND ACCESS TO NETWORKS? Arkup livable yachts are equipped with long-range, high-speed internet and VHF. Satellite television and navigation systems are optional.

WHAT ARE THE MAIN ADVANTAGES OF THE ELECTRIC THRUSTERS? Cruising is silent and does not pollute the water; electric propulsion does not generate noise, smoke, or fumes and reduces vibrations disturbing marine life.

WHAT ARE THE MAIN SPECIFICATIONS OF THE VESSEL? 300 tons weight, 75×32 feet, 5-foot draft, 34-foot air draft, average speed 3knots with a max of 5-knot. The 8-millimeter steel hull is composed of 28 watertight compartments.

WHAT ARE THE SUSTAINABLE MATERIALS AND TECHNOLOGIES INCLUDED ONBOARD? Arkup livable yachts offer Low-e consumption design and materials as well as equipment for solar-energy generation and battery storage. Also included, are the systems for rainwater harvesting, water purification and storage, wastewater management, energy recovery, and ventilation.

WHAT IS THE MAXIMUM POWER GENERATION AND STORAGE CAPACITY? 36 kW of power generation from the solar roof and as much as one megawatt-hour of power storage ensure more than enough energy to operate the boat engines and livable features. The vessel can cruise 4 to 10h / 8 up to 20 NM, depending on the sun and time in the day.

ARE THE BUILDING MATERIALS ECO-SOURCED? Conception and design are eco-friendly. Sustainable and green materials are incorporated into the design as much as possible.

IS THE VESSEL 100-PERCENT SELF-SUSTAINING? Yes, it is. The vessel is zero-emission, carbon-neutral, energy-positive and collects rainwater, and treats it for onboard use.

WHY OFFER SUSTAINABLE OFF-GRID LIVABLE YACHTS? We strive to offer an alternative lifestyle to preserve the environment by avoiding fossil fuels. Our vessels and housing solutions are resistant to storm surges and hurricanes.

WHAT ARE THE HYDRAULIC PILINGS USED FOR? The automated hydraulic system ensures that the vessel is anchored and leveled in waters as deep as 20 feet (6 meters) and also enable lifting the vessel entirely out of the water for comfort and safety.

WHAT ABOUT MOTION SICKNESS ONBOARD? The stability provided by the hydraulic anchoring system is designed to avoid the movement that can cause motion sickness: This makes the Arkup overwater villas as comfortable as a house on the land.

CAN I GO FROM MIAMI TO KEY WEST, TAMPA, OR EVEN NEW YORK? Yes you can, depending on weather, which determines the daily range capacity (up to 8 hours / 20 NM).

ARE THERE ANY SPECIFIC REQUIREMENTS TO OPERATE THE FULLY-ELECTRIC POWERED VESSEL? It requires the same boating experience as any other similar-sized recreational vessel. Thorough training and an extensive manual are provided to all customers. The owner can also hire our certified captains.

HOW MANY GUESTS AND CREW CAN STAY ON THE BOAT WHEN CRUISING OR AT ANCHOR? The Arkup livable yacht can accommodate six to eight people comfortably overnight. The livable yacht can operate as a recreational vessel with a limit of55 passengers (life vests required) or as charter vessels carrying as many as 12 passengers, according to the U.S. Coast Guard’s safety standards and regulations.

CAN I USE AN ARKUP LIVABLE YACHT AS A MOBILE BEACH HOUSE IN THE BAHAMAS OR SOMEWHERE ELSE? Yes, owners of foreign-registered boats (including the U.S.) may keep their vessels in the Bahamas (for instance) for one year without paying duty and may extend the one-year stay for two years by paying a fee of $500. The initial entry fee is $300 to clear Bahamas Customs and Immigration and to obtain a cruising permit. After two years, the vessel would have to depart the Bahamas for one month before applying for a new cruising permit.

HOW TO RECEIVE MAILS, PARCELS OR DELIVERIES? Marinas can provide concierge services or a mailbox or rent a slot at a local Post Office.

DOES THE VESSEL NEED A CAPTAIN TO OPERATE? With adequate boating experience, operating an Arkup Livable Yacht is relatively easy with the training provided by Arkup. A license and safety certification may be required locally.

WHAT KIND OF LICENSE AND INSURANCE ARE NEEDED? Arkup livable yachts are registered and insured as pleasure boats. To operate them, most U.S. states require a driver’s license and boating safety certification for recreational use. For other countries, Arkup can assist you.

CAN WATER SLIDES AND OTHER TOYS BE ADDED? Arkup livable yachts provide plenty of storage space for toys and recreational items. Make the ocean your playground!

HOW IS DISPOSAL OF SEWAGE AND WASTEWATER MANAGED ONBOARD ARKUP LIVABLE YACHTS? Vessel operators are required to retain their sewage discharges on-board for disposal at sea (beyond three miles from shore) or onshore at a pump-out facility. Black and gray waters are stored in a 3,700-gallon (14-cubic-meter) holding tank before being pumped out at either a marina or by a vessel designed to pump out waste. There are other options, such as using an approved U.S. Coast Guard Marine Sanitation Device (MSD) and then discharging within 3 miles offshore according to Clean Water Act regulations.

HOW LONG CAN THE LIVABLE YACHT REMAIN OFF-THE-GRID (WITHOUT POWER AND WATER)? Arkup livable yachts can remain off-the-grid all year long depending on the weather (sun exposure/rainfall) in tropical regions. Without any sun to charge the batteries, a full charge can provide electricity for all household needs for two to three days (without navigation).

The 4,000-gallon fresh-water tank ensures two weeks of self-sufficiency for six people without harvesting any rainwater. If needed, the vessel can connect to shore power to refill the freshwater tank (or add an optional water-maker).

IF I CHOOSE TO LIVE OFF-THE-GRID ON AN ARKUP LIVABLE YACHT, HOW DO I GET TO SHORE? There are many easy options. You can use a tender boat to get to shore via authorized public or private docks, or by renting a slip in a marina where you can dock while you’re on land. There are also many types of amphibious vehicles now available, making it possible to access land through a public boat ramp. Local companies offer water taxi services. Arkup also partners with ILandMiami (www.ilandmiami.com) to provide access by seaplane or helicopter.

WHAT IS THE APPROXIMATE OPERATING COST OF AN ARKUP LIVABLE YACHT?

The cost is much less than a yacht of equivalent size (the annual operating costs of a yacht are typically 10 percent of its value). Compared with a traditional house, the maintenance is roughly equivalent — there is no garden or swimming pool to maintain, but the livable yacht must be cleaned regularly. If the livable yacht is docked in a marina, the slip rental costs will generally be considerably lower than the property taxes on similar waterfront property. The hull can be easily inspected, washed, and maintained when the livable yacht is lifted above the waterline.

HOW ARE TRASH AND GARBAGE HANDLED ONBOARD?

Arkup livable yachts have a dedicated trash room equipped with a trash compactor and recycling bins. The compacted trash is disposed of ashore at public garbage facilities or marinas (a composter for organic waste is optional).

Navetta 75 - The Absolute Sphere

The Absolute fleet flagship, Navetta 75 borrows her spherical shape from geometry to represent the shipyard’s quest for perfection and harmony in designing its latest boat.

As in a sphere, Navetta 75 embodies the best of all the Absolute creations that came before her and the shipyard’s signature features: technological evolution and sophisticated style, achieving the perfect balance of excellence and completeness.

Navetta 75 displays the design innovations that make Absolute recognizable and admirable worldwide: surprisingly wide windows for an immersive visual experience, high ceilings, rooms arranged on a single deck and covered walkways accessible from the inside, both from the kitchen and from the raised helm station.

Already a success on Flybridge and Coupé range boats, Navetta 75 also features an aft terrace cockpit with a glass rear parapet; the owner will be able to furnish it as desired to enjoy breathtaking views from here.

Finally, the boat features a bow master cabin with private access, luxury furnishings and premium finishes.

The space on the Navetta 75 is comparable to what you would expect from a larger yacht. The full-beam owner’s cabin is located at bow , with private access from the main lounge and an en-suite bathroom. On a raised level compared to the lower deck, it offers a broader view of the sea, greater privacy and more quiet. The middle of the boat also houses two double cabins with private bathrooms and a twin bed cabin with a dayhead.

The boat meets both practical and aesthetic needs with sliding doors and generous storage compartments , ensuring that sleeping and living areas are always neat and comfortable.

Versatile and functional, the captain’s and sailors’ quarters at the stern can accommodate up to three beds, with a bathroom and private kitchen.

Seamlessly reflecting the interiors, the external areas are optimized to ensure the highest versatility and ease of movement onboard. With two stairways to quickly climb to the flybridge, from the stern and the bow, the crew can move wherever needed, ensuring privacy for the owner and without interfering with guests. A third and a fourth mooring station are available to enhance the two steering consoles for unparalleled manoeuvrability . Thanks to modular furnishings and the absence of fixed structural elements, the flybridge and cockpit areas can easily adapt to different needs, ensuring a truly unique and immersive onboard experience.

Britain’s America’s Cup boat is a six-tonne rocket ship – here is how our first test went

It is difficult to describe the emotion of getting out on our America’s Cup boat for the first time on Wednesday.

This isn’t a boat that was suddenly delivered to us, like driving a new car out of the showroom. RB3, as we have code-named her, is a 75-foot, six-tonne rocket ship that we have spent the last two years designing, building and tweaking. We have sweated over every inch, pored over every detail.

Over 120,000 parts and tens of thousands of hours, racked up by a team comprised of the very best from the marine industry and Formula One. It’s hard to emphasise just what a big moment it was for our team, as it was for all of our competitors when they launched.

So, it’s fair to say there was much excitement and no little trepidation when we docked out in Barcelona on Wednesday. When you first pull the sails on and accelerate in a yacht of this scale and with this much performance, it’s fair to say that your senses are on red alert. How does the boat feel? How quickly will it take off? What are all the alarms blaring away in your in-ear comms system?

It’s not quite Apollo 11 landing on the moon but you get the gist of the intensity on board the boat in these key moments.

The sorts of things you’d expect when you’re dealing with over several hundred sensors and channels; so many systems, so much gadgetry. But nothing to be alarmed about. We got up on the foils and did some manoeuvres, which went pretty much to expectations. We didn’t attempt to set any speed records, but we were going over 40 knots at times.

We had a pretty good idea of how we were going to go as we did a tow test last Friday, which is when the boat is pulled along by a tow line to get it up on its foils and check that everything works. With so many new systems to test – new foils, new rig and sails, new control systems and so on – it’s standard practice to test everything in a controlled manner before putting up the sails and letting rip.

What we do not yet know is whether this is the boat that is going to end 173 years of hurt.

The America’s Cup is unique in that you and your competitors build something to a set of regulations, over the course of years, completely blind, and then launch and test and race it within the space of a few months.

We are the fourth team to launch our Cup boat so far. Alinghi were the first to launch, closely followed by Team New Zealand and Luna Rossa a couple of weeks ago. Team France and American Magic should not be far away. And so far we are reasonably comfortable with what we have seen.

There are some subtle differences between all the boats. It’s clear that everyone is trying to chase after the same performance gains, just in slightly different ways. The big talking points have been the keel line of the boat – what we call the bustle. That’s how the boat is aerodynamically sealed to the water plane. And then some interesting features in terms of the layout of the crew, and how the rudder rake is packaged. In some teams the rudder control systems are beneath the water line. And then with ourselves and American Magic it’s above the water line. So that’s an aerodynamic-hydrodynamic trade-off which is interesting but is unlikely to be a game changer.

The foils will be key of course. We haven’t seen the race foils yet for Emirates Team New Zealand (who have the luxury of being the defenders, which means they can hold back their designs for longer if they so wish). Or Luna Rossa’s. But we’ve seen Alinghi’s.

Nothing so far has made us go, ‘Oh s---, we’ve missed something big’. Just subtle differences. There was some talk that the Kiwis might go with a recumbent position for their cyclors, but that proved to be a wild rumour. The Americans could still go that route. We haven’t seen their solution yet, but it’s a possibility.

So far I’d say we have been one of the more aggressive in terms of pushing the envelope on design, particularly on the aerodynamic modelling. And that shouldn’t be a surprise given our Mercedes F1 partnership.

It’s a fascinating period and it’s what we love about these design differences; that it’s got all of the armchair admirals beavering away, analysing it, coming up with different viewpoints.

Time will tell. After losing the first Cup way back in 1851, Britain has never managed to win it back. So we are up against the weight of history as well as the might of the Kiwis, the Italians, the Americans and so on. But we are hugely excited and proud to be representing Britain in this challenge.

We have the official naming ceremony for the boat coming up in a few weeks time with Sir Jim Ratcliffe, our backer, and his family. In the meantime, we will get our heads down, crunch the numbers from our first sail and keep refining what we have.

After years of design and development, it’s amazing to be out on the water with our focus firmly on maximising performance when it counts.
