Heesen Yachts 122 ft AURELIA: Sporty Yacht Races to Launch Ahead of Schedule

Heesen Yachts has launched AURELIA, the tenth hull in the 37metre series built by the Dutch shipyard. The unusual interior and exterior design befits an Owner with a passion for sports and racing cars. The exterior paint scheme is inspired by Gulf Racing colors and includes a racing style number 10 decal, a reference to the hull number and the performance capabilities of this luxury yacht.

In fact the whole yacht is inspired by racing cars: the name AURELIA is a tribute to the first ever GT Lancia Aurelia. The theme is integrated into interior spaces where cabins are named after racing car designers and the palette is vibrant. Dobroserdov Design, the firm responsible for the paint scheme, even repeated the 10 decal on the 14 foot Castoldi tender.

Heesen Yachts fully customized AURELIA for the Owner who changed the standard floor plan to create additional space for guests and crew. Notable features include the main salon with dining area and cozy lounge space with L-shaped sofa, two armchairs and an eco friendly fire place fueled by Bio Ethanol. According to interior designer Simon Rowell, of the design firm Bannenberg & Rowell, the contemporary, streamlined, slightly masculine aesthetic was inspired by the Dunhill cigarette lighter.

AURELIA accommodates eight guests in the master suite forward on the main deck and in three double guest suites on the lower deck. Bertone (orange Lamborghini), Pininfarina (red Ferrari), and Zagato (green Aston Martin) are the racecar designers who inspired the décor of the guest cabins. AURELIA also offers superb sunny and shaded exterior social areas for exquisite outdoor living.

AURELIA has a lightweight, aluminum hull and powered by two MTU 16V 4000 M90 diesel engines reaches a thrilling speed of 30 knots. The yacht will be on display at the Cannes Festival de la Plaisance beginning September 6, 2011.

Our Charter Experts Onboard Luxury Yacht HERA-C: Retro Elegance in a Modern Context

HERA-C is truly a gentleman’s yacht, reminiscent of a period when well-heeled aristocrats dedicated time to the pleasures of cruising for business and pleasure. HERA-C perfectly recreates this era, yet in a modern context.

HERA-C is an ideal charter yacht for the important events season in the South of France. This luxury yacht is an excellent option for discreet charter clients who require lots of space for business meetings and cocktail parties, without breaking the bank.

Luxury yacht HERA-C is totally refit to accommodate the requirements of today’s charter clientele without sacrifice to Old World elegance. Updated interiors are designed to compliment an abundance of rich mahogany. A soothing pale color palette of golden tones, Tiffany turquoise, deep sea blue and crisp white, contrast pleasantly with glossy wood finishes and spotless fixtures.

HERA-C is a veteran at MIPIM, MIPTV, and Cannes, featuring seven distinct meeting areas that can be configured to suit any guest requirement, even in inclement weather. In fact, we visited the yacht during a downpour and can attest to the level of comfort despite the rain. The spacious main deck opens to a well-protected aft deck creating an extensive social space. HERA-C has hosted cocktail affairs of up to 50 guests and dining is available for up to 40 guests with seating for 24 on the upper level and 16 in the main dining area.

HERA-C is a tranquil, comfortable and steady yacht; with a knowledgeable British Captain whose experience navigating the Mediterranean Sea dates back to the launch of this Dutch built, steel hull, displacement yacht. He is very relaxed and delighted to oblige charter clients at any time and most willingly books his time accordingly.

We found the crew to be extremely solicitous and utterly charming, although additional staff will be required for any large-scale social event. The crew is easygoing and particularly skilled with children. On our visit the Chef, who hails from Malta, treated us to a delicate fish with asparagus and a mixed zesty aubergine puree with tasty sun-dried tomato layers. We also indulged in a lovely Piper Heidsick and an excellent white wine pared perfectly with the fish.

HERA-C is a yacht that assures a relaxed yet dignified atmosphere to guests in attendance at the prestigious events scheduled in the South of France. This stylish and seaworthy vessel is still available but, given her previous charter history, is likely to book quickly.

Boatbookings Onboard Oceanco 168 LAZY Z: The Quintessential Luxury Family Charter Yacht

What makes a truly superlative family charter is the combination of a magnificent luxury yacht and a long term, professional yet playful crew. LAZY Z not only meets but also exceeds these criteria.

Oceanco built LAZY Z in 1997, but you’d never guess her age because this stunning superyacht is graced with a timeless beauty of design and blessed by an owner and crew who keep her meticulously maintained, from the smallest knob on up.

Interior spaces are furnished with an elegant simplicity of design, featuring plush carpeting, supple leather upholstery and rich Indonesian bubinga hardwood against a backdrop of soft silk paneling. The palette of warm wood tones and golden hues is relaxing and inviting. The wide central staircase is a stunning and unusual architectural feature.

LAZY Z has accommodations for twelve guests in 6 spacious staterooms with a special cabin designed to delight children, right down to the teddy bears. With a 29 foot beam the true full width master suite, from porthole to porthole, is wonderfully spacious and filled with natural light. There is also a dedicated gym and the elegant observation lounge is an inspiration.

Even the radio room on LAZY Z is impressive, housing racks of state of the art equipment, including the Kaleidescape entertainment system storing over 3,000 movies, a capacity that exceeds yachts twice the size of LAZY Z.

We are not surprised when we are told that there is nothing on the bridge that is more than 12 months old. The CCTV was upgraded ten months ago; two new radars were upgraded eight months ago. The Servowatch integrated ship control system, which monitors the main engines, generators, bilges, water tight doors, all of those sort of systems onboard, is just eight months old. From comfortable banquette seating guests can peer at the high tech electronic chart system and the forward facing sonar, which gives a 2D display of what the seabed is like ahead.

Out on deck, LAZY Z has fabulous seating under a huge shade awning, and surrounding the Jacuzzi pool, which is only a couple of years old, there’s lots of sunbathing and, of course, you cannot miss the slide. This is a huge hit with all charter guests who, we are told, opt to use it every day. The owner of the boat is 72 years old and he uses the slide, preferring to go down backwards or head first. It’s simply awesome, they’ve had girls as young as three slide down it.

It is quite evident why LAZY Z is a very busy yacht featuring charters in the Caribbean and Mediterranean directed toward young families who, at the end of their charter, eagerly book a slot for the following year. The youthful and energetic crew boasts a guarantee that if you are a charter client on this boat you’ll be back again next year. We have no doubt.
