Second Caribbean Charter Yacht Show is a success

Marina Port Vell (MPV), Barcelona—set to become one of the world’s most elite superyacht destinations and, with phased marina completions throughout 2014, the pre-eminent home port in the Mediterranean has appointed Captain Anders Pehrson, who joined MPV as Dockmaster yesterday. A vastly qualified Captain with a superb reputation and professional experience that includes some of the world’s most recognizable yachts, Anders Pehrson brings a unique blend of training and qualifications with him to MPV.<img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/146964/image/large-8b1991b3019315cb7c911201a7a21340.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/146964">“Anders personal decision to move from ship to shore and to join us in this most visible of positions is a great triumph for Marina Port Vell,” says Norma Trease, Director of Salamanca Group’s Marine Division. “He brings with him direct experience in piloting and managing superyachts for the past 15 years as well as a vital ability to converse in seven languages,” she continues.Captain Pehrson holds an MCA Master (Y) 3000GT license, is a Ship Security Officer (ISPS SSO), is trained in advanced fire fighting and medical first aid, and has far reaching training in leadership and language. Working since the age of 14, he began his nautical career in 1997 as a Chief Officer on passenger vessels. In 1998, he joined Renalo as Chief Officer. Since 2002, when Anders became a captain, his experience has included the following: Chief Officer of Apogee and Watch Captain Helios 2 for her refit and Atlantic passage; and, Captain of Rondo C, Salamat, Atlantic Goose, Diane, and most recently, Emotion."Using first-hand experience and knowledge of the superyacht industry, the role of Marina Port Vell’s Dockmaster initially revolves around the continuing transformation of MPV’s facilities and the evolution of service we are providing,” says Trease. “Captain Pehrson’s focus will be on ensuring that we maximize the quality of the services that the marina provides particularly as new features are brought on-line. Equally important, he is an ambassador of MPV. Networking, public relations and contact with existing and future clients is also part of the job description," she concludes.Marina Port Vell +34 93 484 2300 <a href="mailto:info@marinaportvell.com?subject=Marina%20Port%20Vell%20on%20SuperYachtTimes.com">info@marinaportvell.com</a> <a href="http://www.marinaportvell.com/" target="_blank">www.marinaportvell.com</a>

Fraser Yachts sales & charter update 

The yacht and aircraft interior design firm Patrick Knowles Designs has been honored with the 2007 ShowBoats International Best Refit/Reconfiguration Award for its work on the 168’ motoryacht <a href="#managed-by-application" data-legacy="true" data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/594">Helios2</a>. The award will be presented to the owners, interior design firm, shipyard and naval architect responsible for the project at a special event in Monaco on June 21, 2007. “It’s very gratifying to be recognized among the “best of the best,” said Patrick Knowles, president of Patrick Knowles Designs. Past industry recognition of Patrick Knowles’ yacht interior design work includes the ShowBoats International Award for Best Design, as well as several award nominations by both the Superyacht Society and ShowBoats International. Motoryacht <a href="#managed-by-application" data-legacy="true" data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/594">Helios2</a> started life as motoryacht Anson Bell, built by Palmer Johnson Shipyards. Patrick Knowles Designs was commissioned by her current owners to transform her into a vessel suitable for their taste and lifestyle.The design intent was to update her entire interior, as well as to recreate her skylounge, which was rebuilt in open pore wenge wood. This created a strong juxtaposition to the balance of her interior, which is primarily anigre wood. The new skylounge incorporated rich, deep and textural fabrics and colors to create a warm, family-oriented environment, where the owners anticipate spending the majority of their interior time onboard the vessel. As for the balance of the interior, her anigre canvas remained intact. However, all décor and furnishings were completely gutted and replaced with a soothing, tranquil, Zen-inspired style, which is more fitting for the new young family. A dramatic art collection was commissioned for the interior, which underscores the owner’s artistic sensibility, as well as the sophisticated style of her interior.The exterior decks were completely redeveloped to capture the ultimate experience in outdoor living. From her tremendous aft deck, which accommodates her entire owner and guest party for dining, to her sky lounge aft deck, which also accommodates a dining area forward, as well as flexible and comfortable lounging in direct sunlight to aft, to the incredible diversified sun deck, which has been redesigned to accommodate every imaginable feature, such as sun bathing, hot tub lounging, equipment for exercising, under-cover lounging, dining area and full service bar. With amenities such as this, it is easy to understand why the owners would spend virtually their entire day on this deck.
