WallyIsland Luxury Yacht

WallyIsland Luxury Yacht
By Andrew Liszewski
While I’d really love to see one of these yachts in person some day, I have my doubts that will ever happen after looking at these concept renders. The whole thing looks to me like a grade 4 drawing assignment where the teacher asks you to design your own boat if you had an unlimited budget. Except of course here the color stays inside the lines.
The WallyIsland which is apparently still under development was designed with the idea of making a luxury yacht that was longer rather than taller in order to fit more amenities. Besides being more stable and cost-effective it also provides for an extremely large deck space. (Just over 10,700 square feet.) The boats will all be custom built of course which means you can configure that deck space any way you’d like. The company suggests such items as a swimming pool, tennis court, a garden with full-size trees or even a helipad. The back of the yacht is almost as spacious but seems to be reserved for storing two smaller sailboats as well as two additional powered boats that can be raised or lowered into the water via a pair of heavy-duty cranes.
Not surprisingly there is no list price for the WallyIsland at this time but I have requested a review unit so please check back later after I’ve had a chance to really put this craft through its paces..

Aironblue Provides Luxury Yachting Escapes

Aironblue – The Yachting Escape is a 5-star floating hotel chain in the most exclusive Mediterranean harbors. Since 2004, Aironblue has distinguished itself in the yacht charter market with its fleet of fifteen elegantly detailed luxury yachts. The yacht charter company has recently teamed up with two additional luxury travel companies to provide the ultimate vacation experience for its clients.
Aironblue and Red Travel have signed an exclusive partnership to create an innovative Mediterranean tour, “A Taste of Sicily by Yacht & Ferrari.” Both the Aironblue yachts and Red Travel Ferraris are Made in Italy products.
The tour by sea and land explores other Italian gems, from design and creativity to culture and culinary delights. Clients will have access to deluxe yacht charters and the latest Ferrari models, including the brand new Ferrari 430 Scuderia F1 limited edition, Ferrari 599 GTB Fiorano F1 and Ferrari California. There are tours along the eastern Sicilian coast from Taromina to Siracusa and the western coast from Cefalù to Marsala. It’s the ultimate glamour getaway - from floating on the sparkling sea to cruising through the winding Sicilian roads; travelers will indulge in rich history, unforgettable landscapes, savory food, and treasured wine along the gorgeous Mediterranean.
Jetup, one of the main private jet companies in the industry, has also signed on with Aironblue to provide private aviation to prime yacht destinations, ensuring an exclusive and unique travel opportunity. The collaboration offers special packages of executive jets flying to exclusive harbors in Italy. Jets fly from the major Italian cities like Milan, Rome, Treviso, and from international airports in London and Paris. The harbors are sprinkled along the Mediterranean coast in Olbia, Nice, Catania, Palermo, Napoli, Grosseto and Pisa.
Travelers can choose from two jet categories: Beechjet 400 & Premier I or the Hawker 800XP. Completing the yacht charter-private jet package is Aironblue’s impressive yacht fleet of Open and Fly yachts measuring 56’-85’ which are available to each client.
Aironblue creates unique itineraries for each client, and has numerous centers on the Côte D’Azur, Liguria, Tuscany, Sardinia, Lazio, Campania, Sicily and the Adriatic Coast. It is also opening new centers in Dubai and Miami. Yacht charters with Aironblue include culinary journeys to discover gourmet delights found along the Mediterranean, spa and wellness circuits, and historical and cultural trips in some of the most historically rich cities in the world. Aironblue clients can charter yachts for photo shoots, advertising sets, business meetings, product launches and other private events in exclusive locations.

LUXURY YACHTS

Foster + Partners - Yachtplus (Copyright Foster +Partners)Platinum, the world’s largest yacht, here in Dubai

For the city-country Monaco Foster + Partners has designed a yacht club that features a nautical iconography, to be more precise – that of a luxury yacht. The stepped decks, aerodynamic perimeter, fully glazed facades, and – off course – flags on the back.The building is mainly used as a stage, simultaneously for yacht-races at the seaside and the famous F1 Grand-Prix at the roadside. The decks are further programmed from the lower level upwards with shops, a rowing club and sailing school, then a clubroom, bar and restaurant, further up a ballroom, and to finish an apartment for the club secretary together with a series of cabins for visiting guests.The iconography and function of the building is similar to the stacked-decks-pavilion that David Chipperfield designed for the America Cup, in the city of Valencia.
