Motor Yachts - Part Two

I'm going to continue the presentation of the motor yachts, with this default font, hoping it'll show better in the page, :)

Aicon pays attention to the design and style of it's luxury yachts, which are built not only to be aesthetically beautiful , but also to be extremely comfortable , functional and seaworthy.(Aren't they all?)
They developed a collection of flybridges from 54 to 85 and open (62, 72, 82)

Some sample models:

The flybridge 54 model has a LOA (length overall) of 57'9" (17,61 m) and is equipped with 2 Caterpillars as M/E, each of 705 or 800 HP.

The Aicon Flybridge 56

The Aicon Flybridge 64

The Aicon Flybridge 75 or 85 (from this position is hard to make a difference.) A 75 model is 23,22 meters with 2 Caterpillars of 1550 HP, and the 85 model is 26,5 m with twin Caterpillars of 1825 HP

Prices on yachtworld, one of the most prestigious sites specialized in boat selling, are between a few hundred Euros to several millions, depending of LOA and the year of built.

 This is again an Aussie/NZ specialized company, running in a family called Leigh-Smith. They offer the Sedan, Flybridge and Pilothouse models in different variants, totaling 7 yachts as follows:

The Sedan 46 has a 14 m (46 ft) LOA, and twin Cummins QSB 5.9 of 440 HP Electronic Diesels.

The 46 Flybridge has a 15,1 m (49'10") LOA and the same twin motors as the Sedan.

The Alaska 57 Pilothouse is a 17,98 m LOA (59') walk-around decks, three cabin configuration with full-beam master stateroom equipped with Twin QSM 11 Cummins 670 HP Electronic Diesels M/E.

I don't know really why am I bothering with this Australian brands, maybe I'm going to start a business there? Prices are huge, seems a real bargain to buy from Turkey, the hybrid gullets and sell them there, if the market power is realistically represented on the net. But to buy from Turkey without being cheated, you need someone like me. You will be aptly advised and even with my hypothetically commission you'll be in the poll position.  

Another Australian, The Allan Barnett, which offers four motor yachts models – the Chesapeake 58, High Seas 63, High Seas 70 and High Seas 97. The feature of these motor yachts is the twin skegs running along the hull. These skegs protect the twin propellers and allow the motor yachts to sit upright when beached, unaffected by tide.

The beached Chesapeake 58'. The Chesapeake 58 is based on the hull design of a commercial fishing vessel and built by a commercial fisherman. 17.82 metres LOA with Twin C255 Cummins Diesels of 255 HP at 1800rpm

The High Seas 63. As you see, not very luxuriously and modern looking as the Italian models, but very reliable they say. 62’9” (19.20 meters) LOA, Twin Qsb 301 Cummins Diesels of 301 HP at 2600 R.P.M. A price quote for a 2009 year old (almost new we can say), is 2,850,000 Australian Dollars. The materials are steel and Aluminum.

The Italian Aprea Mare, "dall 1849", the creators of the famous Gozzo of Sorento. The origins of the gozzo are faraway in the past. Its main characteristic is the double pointed hull with a very similar shape both in the bow and in the stern, with the boat that was found under the ashes of the ancient Roman town of Ercolano.


The models are Flybridge, open, comfort, midcabin, cabin.

The 68 Fly of a 19,4 m (63'8") LOA and twin MAN V10 of 1110 HP is capable of a maximum speed of 33 knots.

The 32 Comfort is a 9,9 m LOA with Twin 220 HP Volvo Penta M/E, and is priced even under 200,000 Euros, somehow.

The Maestro 82 in the picture, is 3,800,000 Euros, a 2009 model, 24,15 meters LOA and twin MTU M/E of 1823 HP. I've taken the info directly from yachtworld. I have a feeling that one can find a multitude to choose from, just wait my next posts. I'm thinking of diversify with some sailing types or brands, leaving at the very end the sails/power combinations.
