Edmiston, along with agents Burgess and Peter Insull’s Yacht Marketing, has sold the 85m M/YAlysia.

In Ft. Lauderdale, for the luxury charter industry; sessions on Web site marketing, social media, negotiation and legal issues affecting charter. 

Her design is a collaboration between Burger, Vripack Engineering and Andrew Winch Designs. 

Having a helicopter onboard makes yachts unique, garners attention, and is a source of conversation.

Owner may be liable for a half million euros in duty on its fuel.

Bradford Marine Yacht Sales announced the addition of broker Whit Kirtland to the sales team. Kirtland has an extensive career in the industry,  having served on the board of directors of the Florida Yacht Brokers Association and as three-time president and current board member.

Responsible for just about all parts that move, flow, cool, dry, generate, pump and propel, the megayacht engineer might be deemed the unsung hero of yachting. Face it; without the props spinning, you’re going nowhere fast, and that’s not fun for crew or guests. We dropped in on several engineers during the Yacht & Brokerage Show in Miami Beach to find out what they are most proud of in their domain – the engine room. 

With retractable wings, a float plane by Glasair Aviation fits on the sundeck of the 92-foot series of megayachts by Tricon Marine. (The builder's 100-foot model will be able to handle a helicopter.) The yacht's davit isn't big enough to move the plane, so an external crane is required.

In the post-boat show period of sea trials and maintenance, scores of yachts and their crews were energized by sea trials, surveys and tours.

The number of megayachts in the St. Thomas Fall Yacht Show in November tripled this year over last. While the three megayachts in attendance  – versus one last year – have a while to go before stealing the thunder from Antigua, St. Maarten or Ft. Lauderdale, show organizers have big plans. M/Y Insatiable, a 100-foot Broward brokered by Camper & Nicholsons, was one of the megayachts on show.
