The court awarded Parrott $591,000, Ward $805,000, and Wennberg $1,492,300 in total damages.According to plaintiff counsel Kavan Vartak of <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/3584" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Moore & Co.

However, defence counsel later clarified that no such findings were made for Mr Ward or Mr Parrott regarding maintenance or cure.Mr Vartak stated that the jury found the owners had failed to pay any medical expenses in Mr Wennberg’s case. However, during the trial, Mr Wennberg testified that Utopia had paid for medical costs in relation to three of the five incidents, and that he sought no treatment for a fourth.Punitive damages were also awarded in response to delays in payment experienced by Ward and Parrott. Defence counsel disputes the characterisation of these delays and maintains that no unpaid cure or maintenance was found in either case. During the trial, Utopia Yachting LLC admitted liability for the 2021 collision and conceded that Captain Matthew Inglis was negligent in leaving the bridge while the yacht was underway at full speed at night, placing an untrained crew member in charge of navigation.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/199028/image/large-b5f3b28603aeb74c0388d24ec2770445.jpeg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/199028">In a notable mid-trial admission, the ownership company acknowledged that Parrott had not been paid his wages for a period of eleven months. Defence counsel further stated that Mr Parrott received an overpayment of maintenance totalling $17,100 during this time, which he retained after returning to paid employment.The collision between <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/5696" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Utopia IV63.0m (206'8&quot;)Rossinavi2018">Utopia IV</a> and the gasoline tanker Tropic Breeze occurred on 23 December 2021, off the coast of the Bahamas.

They later descended to the engine room to check for water ingress and passed the captain ascending the staircase. This detail has been emphasised in the complaint, which asserts that the captain should have been on the bridge at the time.The complaint also states that the yacht’s stabilisers had not been adjusted from underway to zero-speed mode, causing increased rolling and contributing to further injury. While attempting to aid rescue operations, the ETO reportedly injured their left foot and ankle.&nbsp;The ETO alleges they later intervened when the captain was steering the yacht dangerously close to rocks upon arrival in the Bahamas, prompting the first officer to take emergency control to avert a second incident.&nbsp;As a result of the incident, the ETO was diagnosed with multiple fractures, a severe hip injury, and Complex Regional Pain Syndrome and is also undergoing treatment for PTSD.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/254019/image/large-3c72853c9c57ed9917b8ff2b27cc754a.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/254019">Chief EngineerThe chief engineer is also suing for multiple incidents of injury sustained between October 2021 and February 2022, including the period surrounding the Bahamas collision. The earliest injury occurred in Newport, Rhode Island, when they fell through a missing floor plate in the engine room. As well as this, a separate incident in the tender garage allegedly resulted in facial and head injuries due to a dislodged metal plate.During the December 2021 collision, the engineer was in their cabin and suffered whiplash and back injuries. The complaint notes that the yacht’s second mast light and radar were not operational at the time of the incident.&nbsp;Following the collision, the chief engineer reportedly suffered further injuries due to damaged onboard fixtures and in a later incident, a lithium ECR battery explosion that occurred while docked in Miami. That explosion caused temporary hearing loss and smoke inhalation injuries, according to the complaint.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/254018/image/large-eca1e009c1b18a5b007e48c95e2e5d9c.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/254018">Deckhand&nbsp;The third plaintiff, a deckhand, was working in the yacht’s galley during the collision and was thrown backward into a wall.

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.

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.

Gentle LED strip lighting is recessed beneath each tread, creating a soft glow that guides the way without disturbing the serenity of the space.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/340978/image/large-b0b7263eb0f4e52eb4e1c6e1543ea6b7.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/340978">Descending the central staircase brings you to the lower deck, where <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>'s family-friendly guest layout unfolds. Two ensuite VIP staterooms mirror each other amidships, with spacious wardrobes, large hull windows and soft ambient lighting. Aft are two twin staterooms, also ensuite, each designed with both style and functionality in mind.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/357769/image/large-05535462a6a642b5a7cd026e3051ac11.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/357769">There’s a real sense of continuity throughout the accommodation: materials, lighting and finishes are consistent, creating a serene onboard atmosphere. The yacht accommodates 10 guests in total, while up to six crew are housed in comfortable quarters forward with a separate mess and laundry area, ensuring a high standard of service and discretion throughout.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/340972/image/large-20935a9edcdb62b2cb0279d74cc10bd6.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/340972">Up one level, the upper deck is a masterclass in flexibility. Her skylounge is bright and open, with a comfortable sofa and a Corian and White Onyx bar area to ensure that guests are always taken care of. This is a room that can transform, a movie night venue, a social gathering space, a private reading lounge, or an informal meeting space, the configurations are endless!<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/340967/image/large-08db28e2587f69e48954a2ef4e8aa58e.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/340967">Aft, the upper deck terrace is made for relaxed outdoor dining. Sheltered by the overhang and ideal for sundowners or evening meals overlooking remote anchorages, thanks to a 10-person alfresco dining table. A cleverly concealed crane allows for the launch and retrieval of tenders, while seamlessly blending into the design of the yacht.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/340970/image/large-6e06eb5d82fd83e253dddd7c62db46a9.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/340970">The foredeck, which is often overlooked on vessels of this size, is instead given full explorer functionality, with another seating area nestled just forward of the wheelhouse, offering guests a private spot to enjoy sweeping views underway or at anchor.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/357765/image/large-0da787e33e5a43be7f7df53207f0efb4.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/357765"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/357766/image/large-2ee5ffd180507c0403bb6d1955a468d6.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/357766">The topmost deck of <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> offers a surprising amount of space for a 35-metre yacht.

In keeping with the traditional interiors of their commercial vessels, green is the dominant colour. Dark green leather upholstery is paired with black-painted oak panelling and Nabuk leather on the ceiling. This combination strikes a compelling balance between heritage and modern luxury and creates a commanding atmosphere for navigation.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/340966/image/large-a4b4ec48d605d4e1584f530cf5e1efec.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/340966"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/340969/image/large-f90b9fcd8fe7596571f0abf9add43f80.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/340969">Every inch of <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> has been carefully considered.

The Kingdom of Bahrain has unveiled a new regulatory framework designed to enhance maritime safety and position the country as an attractive destination for yacht tourism.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/285488/image/large-56669c82-5c3b-46e1-b7c9-214445a7ddb4.jpeg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/285488">The initiative, introduced by Dr. Sheikh Abdulla bin Ahmed Al Khalifa, the Minister of Transportation and Telecommunications, represents a significant step in the Kingdom’s wider strategy to diversify its economy and develop its maritime tourism sector.The regulation, formalised through Ministerial Edict (9) of 2025, simplifies the process for visiting non-commercial, foreign-flagged leisure vessels to obtain navigation permits. These vessels may now apply directly to the Ports and Maritime Affairs Directorate should they choose not to utilise a local shipping agent.This latest measure aligns with Bahrain’s long-term development agenda, guided by His Majesty King Hamad bin Isa Al Khalifa and overseen by His Royal Highness Prince Salman bin Hamad Al Khalifa, Crown Prince and Prime Minister. It also reinforces Bahrain’s commitment to the goals of Bahrain Economic Vision 2030 and the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, by promoting sustainable maritime and tourism practices.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/350880/image/large-def0fe807c2ccfcacef92c350c5f6502.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/350880">Read:&nbsp;<a data-gid="gid://syiq/Article/62741" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="CEO Captain Abdulla Al Merbati on Al Dhaen's new strategy and Bahrain as a cruising destination (2025-03-03 10:30:00 +0100)">CEO Captain Abdulla Al Merbati on Al Dhaen's new strategy and Bahrain as a cruising destination</a>Dr. Sheikh Abdulla noted that the regulation aims to support the country's positioning as a regional hub for high-value tourism, while reinforcing security and environmental standards in its territorial waters. The Ministries of Transportation and Telecommunications and Interior collaborated closely to revise existing maritime navigation protocols to support the safe and efficient movement of vessels.The Ministry has also published a comprehensive procedural guide for foreign yachts visiting Bahrain. Bader Hood Al Mahmood, Undersecretary for Ports and Maritime Affairs, outlined that the guide provides clear instructions on obtaining navigation permits, including detailed pre-arrival, entry, and departure requirements.Among the key stipulations, visiting yachts must operate an Automatic Identification System (AIS), hold valid third-party insurance, and submit documentation including the yacht’s registration, a navigation or safety certificate, and lists of passengers and crew. Initial approvals for entry can be expected within 24 hours of application submission.Yachts approaching Bahraini waters are required to notify the Maritime Control Office via VHF Channel 74 or telephone, and proceed to one of five designated maritime inspection points, including Qatari Waters Cutoff and Fasht Al Jarrim. Following this, vessels must report to one of the listed entry ports – such as Al Dur Port or Waves Marina – to complete immigration and customs procedures.Notably, Bahrain has included leisure marinas among the official entry ports, streamlining arrival processes and underscoring the country's readiness to accommodate yacht tourism. In certain cases, additional marinas may also be authorised.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/350878/image/large-7ab898dfe4e872aef5503c4dbe866144.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/350878">Upon completion of customs formalities and submission of the required documentation, vessels will be issued a navigation permit valid for up to one year, with provisions for renewal and multiple entries. Departure procedures are similarly defined, requiring formal notification, documentation review, and inspection prior to clearance from Bahraini waters.
