Superyachts in Esefjorden, Norway

Superyachts Topaz and Forever One in Eserfjorden, Norway

The beautiful Norwegian fjord of Eserfjorden hosted two superyachts earlier this week when S/Y Topaz and M/Y Forever One anchored in the 4km long valley near the village of Balestrand. The 42.62m Superyacht Topaz was launched in June this year at Holland Jachtbouw, designed by Hoek Design Naval Architects. Known as J8, she features the highest keel aspect to waterline length ratio, for optimum upwind performance. ISA Yacht’s 54 metre Forever One was built in 2014 and features a distinctive reverse bow design, dressed in a sporty white and red paint job. Designed by Horacio Bozzo, she boasts a private owner’s apartment on the upper deck, designed by Studio Massari Interior.
