33m Overmarine motor yacht Dayboat sold

Like all Greeks, Nikolas Pateras has an inherent love for the sea, but his passion for seafaring goes beyond that of even his most water loving countrymen. Born into a seventh generation shipping family, Nikolas has been raised on the water, surrounded by yachts and vessels of all sizes. At the age of only 33 he acquired his first yacht, the 31.5-metre classic <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/212" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Benetti SpA (Company)">Benetti</a> <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/757" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Dama di Cuori31.5m (103'4&quot;)Benetti SpA1970">Moongoddess</a>, which sparked a lifetime's journey of yacht ownership that has seen him own eight yachts over the past twenty seven years. Today Nikolas is the proud owner of both the 65.25-metre <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/82" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Adamas V65.25m (214'1&quot;)Cantieri Navali Nicolini Srl1987">Adamas V</a> and the renowned <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/209" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Pendennis Shipyard Ltd (Company)">Pendennis</a> built sailing yacht <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/539" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Wally B32.72m (107'4&quot;)Pendennis Shipyard Ltd1998">Wally B</a>. This January Francesca Webster sat down with Nikolas to hear the story of his life aboard boats.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/309866/image/large-0aadf7bb4245a0a318e7159a4533b68d.png" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/309866">Originating from the tiny island of Oinousses, Nikolas’ family earned their living in the 1700s by transporting goods from the Turkish coast to the island of Chios. By the late 1800s, the familial business had grown from small wooden vessels to clipper ships and by 1902 they purchased the first steamship.A legacy of perseverance and determination, the family business has been through good years and tough times, losing all their ships in both World Wars. Nikolas first joined the company Pateras Brother Ltd, in 1986 at the age of 23, and since joining has managed 150 vessels. In 2015 he moved into the container ship market with Contships Management Inc. While cargo ships are his business, it is in yachts that Nikolas and his family get the most pleasure. “My father and uncle had boats from the early 1970s, and my uncle built a trawler with accommodation in the bow. I used to spend all my time onboard, working as crew at the age of 14-15 during the summer holidays learning the ropes. It became my dream to buy my own when I was grown up.”<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/65838/image/large-cb8c108da5697c524fe824280859432c.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/65838">“When I saw <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/757" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Dama di Cuori31.5m (103'4&quot;)Benetti SpA1970">Moongoddess</a> in Monte Carlo I fell in love. I’d always wanted a canoe stern yacht and she was built like a pocket size mega yacht. White hull and traditional lines.

He said that it was never going to happen, and that they had two American clients offering $14. But not long after I got a call back because the Americans would only take the yacht if she was delivered to the Med, and the owner was refusing to send the yacht through the Suez Canal, so whoever took delivery would have to do so in Abu Dhabi. I sent a few guys down there, and they looked her over, said she was in great condition so we put the offer back on the table.

The cause of the fire is yet to be determined, but authorities believe the solar panels onboard also helped to fuel the fire further.&nbsp;"[<a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/12081" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Flagship24.5m (80'5&quot;)VisionF2023">Flagship</a>] also has solar power panels on the top and a lot of electrical batteries as well that power those solar panels. So, that is obviously fueling the flames," explained Miami Fire Lieutenant Pete Sanchez to NBC6.

The ribbon-cutting ceremony at the new <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/3400" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Porto Carlo Riva (Company)">Carlo Riva Port</a> in Rapallo heralded its official reopening, welcoming boats back to this historically significant marina in the Mediterranean. Founded in 1975, the port had previously sustained damage from a storm in October 2018. Now the newly opened <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/3400" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Porto Carlo Riva (Company)">Carlo Riva Port</a> offers more than 250 berths spread across nine docks, accommodating boats and yachts ranging from 7.5 to 60-metres.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/309838/image/large-feb48c49c2cffa38ed32c6857e8910eb.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/309838">The infrastructural and real estate redevelopment of <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/3400" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Porto Carlo Riva (Company)">Carlo Riva Port</a> was overseen by the international group Bizzi &amp; Partners, utilising the investment vehicle Argo Srl and in partnership with Fidim by Luca Rovati. The project's total investment surpassed €70 million, with 50 percent allocated to the reconstruction of the outer breakwater."We are proud to reopen a strategic infrastructure for the area and for Liguria, a port among the most sustainable, innovative, and modern in the Mediterranean," declared Davide Bizzi, CEO of Bizzi &amp; Partners and CEO of Argo. "We thank the Liguria Region and the Municipality of Rapallo for their fruitful collaboration over these months, which allowed us to create a service-oriented port integrated with the city, complemented by a high-level commercial and dining offer, perfect for welcoming guests from around the world."The architectural redesign of the new <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/3400" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Porto Carlo Riva (Company)">Carlo Riva Port&nbsp;</a>in Rapallo was crafted by Susanna Scarabicchi, founder of Tectoo. Additionally, the redevelopment of <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/3400" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Porto Carlo Riva (Company)">Carlo Riva Port</a> is expected to generate over 200 new employment opportunities for both land-based and onboard personnel.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/309841/image/large-689bec714cada4660bac713ecc5c081e.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/309841">The redevelopment of the new <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/3400" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Porto Carlo Riva (Company)">Carlo Riva Port</a> encompassed extensive enhancements, including the refurbishment of the outer breakwater, the reconstruction of docks, and the improvement of both sea and onshore facilities. The structural modifications were primarily aimed at fortifying the coastal settlement, resulting in an infrastructure designed to withstand and adapt to the impacts of climate change.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/309843/image/large-d4018518a155a33e0e60339883e64f9e.png" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/309843"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/309844/image/large-d7dda5cce9c0697bb959e6ad81184a12.jpeg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/309844">This achievement was facilitated by the use of 1,600 twenty-ton tetrapods, 170,000 tonnes of boulders, a breakwater extending dozens of metres into the sea, and the construction of a 7-metre high sea wall above sea level. Additionally, <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/3400" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Porto Carlo Riva (Company)">Carlo Riva</a> will be the first port in Liguria to utilise water from the Rapallo purification plant for up to 80 percent of its non-potable water requirements, catering to needs such as boat washing and the irrigation of green areas. The port will also enhance its offerings to visitors, and tourists with high-end retail and food &amp; beverage facilities, including the opening of two restaurants, bars, and commercial spaces.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/309834/image/large-1ba07cf9a9b1c45d96eb626d903a7b08.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/309834">Reflecting on this significant development, the President of the Region Giovanni Toti stated: "Today is a very beautiful day for Rapallo and for all of Liguria, the new <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/3400" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Porto Carlo Riva (Company)">Carlo Riva Port</a>, completely renovated, is the result of significant work carried out after the damage from the terrible storm surge of October 2018. It is proof of how important it is to have courage in choices and a vision for the future. Some say the port is for rich gentlemen with their expensive toys, but it is these expensive toys that employ tens of thousands of people: here, 200 local people will find employment, ensuring the operation of this facility year-round, thanks to the services offered. Liguria is the leading nautical production district in Italy and it is in places like this, that the vessels built by our workforce are housed," he concluded.
