Her striking high bow, strong angular lines and almost military-influenced aesthetic convey a sense of strength and purpose. Finished in a clean, crisp white with dark window bands, she is unmistakably a yacht that’s been built to venture far beyond the confines of the Mediterranean.Her vertical windows wrap around the main and upper decks, visually elongating the superstructure, while ensuring panoramic views from within. Cutolo’s exterior styling is aggressive yet elegant, with a contemporary edge that feels every bit as refined as it is functional.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/340965/image/large-1d55295c3bcaa4419753ef7b5e5f6886.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/340965">There’s no doubt: <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/10739" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Bee35.4m (116'2&quot;)ART Shipyard2025">Bee</a> is built for adventure. But she’s equally ready to welcome guests in comfort and style. Stepping aboard via the wide hydraulic swim platform, you enter a world of calm precision. Her aft deck immediately sets the tone, uncluttered, open and bathed in natural light. Teak underfoot and a sculptural staircase to starboard lead the eye up toward the upper decks, while her shaded aft seating area invites relaxed conversation or dining with a view.Sliding glass doors open into the main saloon – a space that feels both expansive and grounded. Soft neutral tones, clean lines and tactile materials like brushed oak and matte lacquered finishes create a modern, almost Nordic atmosphere. Nothing is ostentatious. Everything is intentional.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/340971/image/large-0080c75be12498628e4d0349fd8e99db.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/340971">The brief for <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/10739" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Bee35.4m (116'2&quot;)ART Shipyard2025">Bee</a> was clear, to create a space that was “trendy, modern, comfortable and open to the landscape.” Natural light plays a central role in the experience and reflecting materials are placed strategically next to windows to amplify brightness. In contrast, the broader palette leans into understated luxury, with elegant matte finishes grounding the airy ambiance.Ceilings are kept light and subtly varied in finish, matte beside gloss, to add dimensionality. Doors and blind boxes feature rounded corners framed in brushed aluminium, reinforcing the yacht’s theme of softness meeting structure. While artwork from local artists is thoughtfully displayed in recessed, brushed-framed niches, adding authenticity and cultural richness.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/340976/image/large-c837d47bf792925e4eb1ea8061cd94d9.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/340976">The saloon itself is arranged with versatility in mind.

Bee: The 35m explorer yacht for sale that’s built for adventure

We take a look onboard the 35m explorer yacht Bee, which is built for adventure and currently for sale with Ocean Independence. 

Onboard Bee: The 35m explorer yacht for sale that’s built for adventure!

In early March <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/44" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Abeking & Rasmussen (Company)">Abeking &amp; Rasmussen</a> officially relaunched the 73-metre (240-foot) <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/23" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Lürssen Yachts (Company)">Lürssen</a> superyacht <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/112" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Starfire70.2m (230'4&quot;)Lürssen Yachts2007">Starfire</a>, following a 12-month refit which entailed the redesign of the yacht’s exterior and interior and a major overhaul of its systems. The yacht's passionate owner entrusted the team from <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/7339" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Pascoli International (Company)">Pascoli Internationa</a>l to reimagine her exterior aesthetic, while <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/110" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Patrick Knowles Designs (Company)">Patrick Knowles</a> worked closely alongside her owner and captain Paul Duncan to revitalise her interior. The team at <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/4946" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Arrow Monaco (Company)">Arrow Monaco</a>, led by Alec Heath represented the owner during the build and were instrumental in its successful completion.&nbsp;We are excited to share insights into the yacht's new design ahead of her industry unveiling at the upcoming <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Event/251" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="MYBA Charter Show - 2025- 35th Edition">MYBA Charter Show</a> in San Remo next week, after which she is expected to take the charter season by storm. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/357835/image/large-27967e447d32e3fd9f45b0aed01cbbd3.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/357835"><a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/112" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Starfire70.2m (230'4&quot;)Lürssen Yachts2007">Starfire</a>’s exterior aesthetic has been dramatically reimagined in a black-and-white colour scheme, with a white hull and black overhangs, a black mast and sundeck superstructure, and black window bands and brow accents that elongate the yacht’s lines and lighten the overall impression. Speaking of the owner’s ambition for the exterior, Kristian <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/7339" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Pascoli International (Company)">Pascoli</a> explains, “The owner’s brief was clear, he wanted to modernise the yacht, bringing her into a contemporary realm and most importantly giving her a sleeker look.” <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/357834/image/large-9c9cf477a5f051fce94d102ad8d64f14.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/357834">From a general arrangement perspective there have been two significant changes. First, the extension of the yacht’s swim platform, which now acts as an additional exterior dining area, outdoor beach club, and watersports epicenter.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/357840/image/large-26b334d6f8008a23b35ed84a0b81346b.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/357840">Additionally, the owner requested that the sundeck be transformed into a gym and spa deck, complete with an infra-red sauna, plunge pool, and dedicated massage space. This was accomplished through the creation of an enclosed and air-conditioned atrium which presented the unique design challenge of surrounding the space with floating glass panes that could be opened as desired. Taking this task on was the German engineering firm <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/8180" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Kreative Metallform (KMF) (Company)">Kreative Metallform</a> who designed a retractable system for the 360-degree floor-to-ceiling glass. &nbsp;<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/357843/image/large-811244606539abbf3e48e398332cc6d3.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/357843">With a volume of 1,979 GT and a near 13-metre beam, <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/112" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Starfire73.0m (239'6&quot;)Lürssen Yachts2007">Starfire</a> has an impressive platform and excellent pedigree. Captain Paul Duncan explains, “The idea was to maintain that integrity while updating her to current standards. That meant opening up many of the interior spaces, increasing light to the interior, replacing multiple layers of window dressings with invisible silhouette blinds, and physically extending key windows.” <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/357833/image/large-8a784ddcb232ec5902aca9ff5ef093ed.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/357833"><a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/110" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Patrick Knowles Designs (Company)">Patrick Knowles</a> commented, “<a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/112" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Starfire73.0m (239'6&quot;)Lürssen Yachts2007">Starfire</a> had excellent bones and a strong aesthetic foundation. We respected her traditional envelope, while incorporating clean, transitional furniture with traditional silhouettes but contemporary finishes. The original seating featured satin silks, white silk carpets, velvets and velours – very formal. We moved towards textured, streamlined materials that are more relaxed while still elegant.” <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/357844/image/large-0d5f384062226f07bb55cbf878472e9f.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/357844">For instance the yacht’s original saloon was divided between the seating areas and bar. This has now been opened into one functional space with a central seating area, games table to port that doubles as a desk or breakfast table, and lounge chairs to starboard that are a perfect spot to sit if you’re just passing through or waiting to disembark. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/357837/image/large-1378067134a067f30765d6eced583d63.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/357837">Optionality was an integral part of the redesign, particularly to create unique zones that guests can enjoy, in replacement of the three previous formal saloons. For example, the bridge deck bar has been transformed into an English style pub, complete with a booth and felt-lined darts cupboard.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/357841/image/large-548168155a21b44b9c3da0d40c377e8d.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/357841">While these changes have been transformative for her interiors, the team has carefully honoured the yacht’s original DNA, particularly the fine <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/67" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Zuretti Interior Design (Company)">Zuretti</a> wood paneling used throughout her interior. Paul Duncan adds, “We took a sensitive approach to modernisation – one that respected the yacht’s heritage without allowing it to feel dated. The original woodwork was particularly beautiful, and it would have been a disservice to erase it. Instead, we chose to complement it. By introducing warmer LED lighting and reducing visual clutter, the wood now sings rather than overwhelms. The result is a yacht that retains its warmth while offering dramatically improved brightness, visual access to all of the exterior spaces and the sea, and a vastly greater sense of openness.”<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/357836/image/large-341acbc8f511427f78cf83d7a8e5bf92.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/357836">Other such evolutions include the master suite with its attached, raised observation room which used to be an afterthought. This has been transformed into a private workout and observation area to enjoy the incredible panoramic views this forward-looking space offers.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/357842/image/large-5d6ed25365897826e8a32ec0778051c4.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/357842"> <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/357845/image/large-b6049aaef2848ce92c8188f254088985.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/357845">The exterior decks have likewise been modernised with a new alfresco dining area introduced on the main deck aft, as well as on the newly-extended swim platform which can be transformed into a covered dining area right at the water’s edge. Both areas benefit from custom tables made for each space by <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/333" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Finkeldei Upholstered Furniture (Company)">Finkeldei</a> Interiors. And for fun-lovers there is now a basketball hoop on the large pool deck where guests will find an outdoor pool that converts to a giant hot tub, as well as an outdoor cinema with a dedicated projector capable of daytime-viewing brightness levels.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/357846/image/large-33c9c587875e479d839f35d0ce161826.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/357846">The final result of this impressive refit is that <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/112" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Starfire73.0m (239'6&quot;)Lürssen Yachts2007">Starfire</a> has been beautifully evolved for a new era of yacht charter clients, and she will no doubt make her presence felt at the charter show next week. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/357831/image/large-12bf3b3b7b685be19bc8fd334fce8e4d.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/357831">

The sky lounge is also home to a glass table and comfortable upholstery, as well as integrated linear lighting in the window cladding and a geometric light element in the bronze front of the bar. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/354581/image/large-b928e74a8f4019581e4ccc47f0580540.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/354581">One of the space’s highlights is the use of Forest Green leathered marble, a green stone with dark red and white veins. “Observers can almost sense the jungle from which it was born,” <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/7541" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Katharina Raczek Design (Company)">Katharina Raczek Design</a> explained. “This natural essence is echoed in the room’s custom chandelier, an artpiece in its own right featuring patinated bronze trees that cradle precious ostrich eggs, reminiscent of ripe fruit.”<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/354582/image/large-58a888ba8616e0312c4ec9de5d57a962.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/354582">Located on the main deck, <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/3964" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Thanuja49.9m (163'9&quot;)Concept Marine2011">Thanuja</a>’s open-layout owner’s suite has a colour palette composed of plum tones, green shades and pink hints across its walls and carpet, complemented by sycamore panelling, high-gloss dark taupe burr oak and sycamore accents. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/354578/image/large-bbac38310cb0c337a27b7d0584407528.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/354578"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/354576/image/large-7a215d765272368c9a896c5082dfd846.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/354576">When entering the stateroom, those onboard are greeted by a seating area comprising a dark green velvet sofa, an armchair and an ottoman. Chairs and a table are subtly placed behind the bar and coffee station, while the owner’s stateroom also benefits from a well-equipped library wall. Separated from the stateroom via double sliding doors, the wardrobe can remain either closed or open, and a large cosmetic vanity built from burr marble has a crystal light feature on the mirror. Meanwhile, the ensuite bathroom showcases light quartz walls and Emperador dark marble, and is complete with a double shower featuring shower seats and rain showers. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/354575/image/large-88d11f11323d6c4f04329d6e699535e1.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/354575"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/354574/image/large-362b130b4156edd6e5b5876a3c436070.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/354574"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/354577/image/large-0c44981504858eba162332753df6ba06.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/354577">As for the remaining guests, their lower deck staterooms include asymmetrically arranged leather panels and an illuminated leather handrail ascending upwards to the main deck in a staircase. The lower deck lobby reveals a bronze light installation coupled with juxtaposing tall side tables in shell marble, while the ensuite guest staterooms display eucalyptus wall panels in soft grey, dark taupe sycamore furniture, matte wool carpets and leather accents.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/354570/image/large-69129cf256066d74ad701d080a0f8835.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/354570"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/354569/image/large-4c53b191cbdb27c0814747e93f2ed567.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/354569"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/354568/image/large-24a3cc9ff2cfd91dc84c88cb30bb6b31.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/354568">Moving outside, <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/3964" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Thanuja49.9m (163'9&quot;)Concept Marine2011">Thanuja</a>’s upper deck provides alfresco entertainment in the form of a sofa arrangement, an outdoor dining table and barbecue, while a Jacuzzi accompanied by lounging areas and a bar can be found on the sundeck.

The second edition of the Blue Design Summit officially opened yesterday at the Teatro Civico della Spezia, kicking off three days of high-level discussion, design showcases and industry insights under the theme From Water to Design. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/358852/image/large-b247988493e96cf506f69bdff5d2fd12.jpeg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/358852">As the flagship event of Blue Design Week, which takes place from 12 to 16 May 2025, the Summit brings together leading figures from the international superyacht design and shipbuilding sectors, including prominent Italian and global design studios, shipyards, and suppliers.Read: <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Article/63247" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Blue Design Summit 2025 to return to La Spezia (2025-05-05 14:00:00 +0200)">Blue Design Summit 2025 to return to La Spezia</a><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/360139/image/large-2735ff6b409bacd97c3f51843e8e7152.jpeg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/360139">During the first half-day of the conference, <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/4509" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="SuperYacht Times (Company)">SuperYacht Times</a>' Head of Intelligence, Ralph Dazert, presented our annual market report, while adding a real-time analysis of superyacht market trends based on first-quarter 2025 data.&nbsp;The headline finding was clear: the global superyacht market is stabilising following the post-COVID boom, but it is now evolving along two distinct trajectories. While the over 40 metre segment continues to demonstrate healthy growth, the 30 to 40 metre category is experiencing a marked decline in new orders.After peaking at 375 new superyacht sales in 2021, the market recorded 195 new-builds in 2024. At the same time, deliveries have continued to rise, from 163 in 2021 to 228 in 2024 as shipyards work through a once-record backlog of orders. That backlog stood at 695 yachts at the start of 2024 but has since begun to decline for the first time in years.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/360142/image/large-0e57af53390af9de0374fcf22e4e9dda.jpeg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/360142">The clearest trend, however, is the divergence between market segments. New orders in the 30 to 40 metre range dropped by 20 percent between 2023 and 2024, while those in the 40 to 50 metre bracket rose by 28 percent. In total, segments above 40 metres recorded a 13 percent increase in new orders during the same period.“The market is moving towards a two-speed dynamic,” said Ralph Dazert during the session. “Buyers in the upper segments are continuing to invest, while the more accessible size ranges are seeing hesitation, likely due to broader economic uncertainties.”In the first quarter of 2025 alone, new sales of 30 to 40 metre yachts dropped dramatically from 35 units in Q1 2024 to just 15. Units above 40 metres also fell, from 36 to 26, hinting at a potential slowdown across the board, possibly influenced by tariff announcements and macroeconomic pressures.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/360141/image/large-9012db260b0ffe019d635576b6750ded.jpeg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/360141">Despite the shifting market conditions, Italy continues to dominate the superyacht construction sector. In 2024, Italian shipyards accounted for 120 new yacht sales above 30 metres, more than double the combined total of all other competing nations. As of 1 January 2025, the country’s shipyards held 371 projects in their order books, representing 53 percent of the global backlog.Notably, Italian projects are also growing in scale. The average new-build from an Italian yard now measures 44 metres and 517 gross tonnes, indicating a trend towards larger, more complex builds.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/360135/image/large-11a858505cfb7e42e87eeba855986e4e.jpeg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/360135">These figures were underscored during a panel discussion that closed the first day of the Summit, which featured leading figures such as Vasco Buonpensiere of <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/2354" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Cantiere delle Marche (CdM) (Company)">Cantiere delle Marche</a>, Diego Deprati from <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/375" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Baglietto S.p.A.

When it comes to debates which rage within the yachting industry in 2022, that of ‘motor vs. sail’ remains enduringly popular. The obvious advantages of opting for a motor yacht include the comparative ease of getting from A to B without relying on weather conditions, as well as their boosted capacity for housing both liveable onboard space and all of the modern amenities which are now seen as part-and-parcel of superyacht ownership.&nbsp;On the other hand, there remains a small, but dedicated core of yacht owners keen to tout the advantages of sailing yachts, whether that be their lessened environmental impact or the incomparable pleasure which awaits a sailing yacht owner at the helm. Indeed, it is rare to find an individual who crosses over between these two firmly divided camps.&nbsp;One such individual who has made this leap, however, can be found stateside: the proud Californian owner of one of the season’s most hotly-anticipated launches, <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/3031" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Lynx Yachts (Company)">Lynx Yachts</a>’ 27.4-metre Crossover motor yacht <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/9444" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Avontuur27.4m (89'11&quot;)Lynx Yachts2022">Avontuur</a>, which first touched water in the Netherlands in March and has now completed sea trials.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/223488/image/large-31ad33f6134c0387f7182895761cde44.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/223488">A competent captain with a yachting resume as long as your arm, <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/9444" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Avontuur27.4m (89'11&quot;)Lynx Yachts2022">Avontuur</a>’s owner has 1300+ documented days’ experience on the water across locations as diverse as Tahiti, Canada, Alaska and the Mediterranean and is comfortable operating both sailing and motor yachts up to 100 feet (approx. 30-metres). When it came to choosing his first-ever boat to be built for himself, however, it was the motor which came out firmly on top.As he explains: “I grew up with sailboats: our first ever family boat was a Swan 36 owned by my parents, and so my early life was always about being out on the water sailing. But then as my parents grew older, my 3 sisters and I had children, it became impractical to fit everyone on board a sailing yacht, so we made the switch to motor.” <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/223494/image/large-f8b33ee5394a0779c03c3b311abbdced.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/223494">While a motor yacht provided more space for his burgeoning family, it also offered this sporty owner the opportunity to store more of his water sports gear. “When I used to try and take surfboards, scuba diving and windsurfing equipment on board the sailing yachts, this gear was always in the way. Even on most motor yachts, finding room for all my sports equipment proved difficult.“After a lifetime of struggling with storage, with <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/9444" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Avontuur27.4m (89'11&quot;)Lynx Yachts2022">Avontuur</a> I can finally keep everything on board, well-organised, all the time and have the freedom to do whatever I want, whenever I want.” And this list of gear is extensive, including PWCs, windsurfers, SUPs, Scuba gear, foils and a 23’ wakeboarding boat with all the necessary boards.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/223499/image/large-29d26db54b4a478ddb502d97cc2685ab.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/223499">With his professional background in residential home building, this owner was not one to build his yacht on shaky foundations. Indeed, it took time for him to warm up to the idea of constructing his own yacht in the first place. “I already had access to a pretty nice yacht, and so there wasn’t a strong need for another normal cruising yacht .”However, there was something about the design of <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/3031" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Lynx Yachts (Company)">Lynx</a>’s <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/5666" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="YXT One23.98m (78'8&quot;)Lynx Yachts2014">YXT One&nbsp;</a>which caught this owner’s fancy. On a whim, he sent off an email to Lynx expressing his interest in the vessel and his desire to incorporate all of the toys and water sports equipment he’d want on board.&nbsp;With this, the wheels were in motion for the Crossover to become a reality. “After a few meetings, I flew to the Netherlands with my wife to visit the shipyard and we were very impressed with the build quality: that is something you can’t know for sure until you see it in person. The <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/5666" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="YXT One23.98m (78'8&quot;)Lynx Yachts2014">YXT-One</a> was also so much larger in person than I thought: the back deck is 70 square metres and the “garage” below deck is huge, and I just thought: "Oh my gosh, I can store so much cool stuff here!” <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/223492/image/large-3f6401e342f30d57bfb6286f419ff323.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/223492">For any first-time builder, the build process can be fraught with obstacles, with a major hiccup coming in the form of a global pandemic. “Communicating via email is much more difficult. What would have taken four hours in person took three days via email, and it was so much harder to come to Europe to see the boat in person.”What is clear from speaking to this owner, however, is that it was the exceptional quality of the relationships between him and Lynx which sustained him and kept up the momentum for the build. “My relationship with <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/3031" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Lynx Yachts (Company)">Lynx</a> was fantastic throughout. From the start, they were honest and focused on quality. I took a surveyor along and he confirmed it. That was really important to me, because I’d never built a boat before, so if they wanted to cut corners, they could probably have gotten some past me. And on the inevitable change orders, the team who worked with <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/3031" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Lynx Yachts (Company)">Lynx</a> were the fairest out of anyone with whom I’ve ever dealt.”For a man who attempts to fit in, “50% work, 50% family and 50% fun” into his daily life, <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/9444" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Avontuur27.4m (89'11&quot;)Lynx Yachts2022">Avontuur</a> offers a welcome opportunity for this owner to pack in as much quality time with his wife and daughters as possible, and he’s not planning to venture far. “My favourite place in the world is Catalina Island in California and I will take the boat there with my family. In what other circumstances would I get to do all of the sports I love, whenever I want, with all the people I care about?” He continues: “I can go paddle boarding before everyone wakes up or go scuba diving with my daughters at midday, and wakeboarding in the evening. With teenage daughters and the pull of friends and social media, it can be really hard to get everyone to sit down and enjoy quality time together, even for meals. Having a boat means that we can all be ‘trapped’ together, in the nicest possible way, and it doesn’t get better than that!”<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/223495/image/large-91f8451b3866c1af1c09475fc6c5c9d8.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/223495">The Crossover <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/9444" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Avontuur27.4m (89'11&quot;)Lynx Yachts2022">Avontuur</a> will be making her debut appearance at the Cannes Yachting Festival in September.This article was originally published in&nbsp;<a href="https://sya.superyachttimes.com/news/superyacht-times-newspaper-issue-39" target="_blank">Issue 41 of SuperYacht Times newspaper</a>.
