Stuart is pleased to announce the sale of new 75-metre Turquoise Yachts Project NB69 confirming the ongoing enthusiasm for yachting which has continued throughout the global health crisis.  
 
A sister ship of NB66, NB69 has a steel hull and aluminum superstructure and is designed by A.Vallicelli & C. Yacht Design with naval architecture by Turquoise and interior design by the Dutch designer Sinot.
 
In mid-July, NB69 was transferred from the Kocaeli facility to the Pendik shipyard for completion of interior installation and outfitting including the top paint coat. She is on schedule for sea trials in 14 months and delivery is contracted for November 2021.
 
Spanning 6 six decks, of which two are dedicated to technical and crew areas, the originality of NB69’s style plays on harmonious contrasts between soft and rigid elements. The styling of the superstructure and the hull is a combination of simple, sleek lines and a powerful, dynamic look. “A tight line starting in the bow area, that then, at the center of the boat, becomes a curved concave line that gently slopes down towards the aft section. With a profile reminiscent of sporty sailing, the low angle of the transom slope and the long forward overhang, make this 75m yacht appear long, slender, and elegant in support of her generous interior volume”.
 
At more than 1700 GT and with a 14.2m beam, NB69 can reach 17knots, powered by Caterpillar 3516C engines. Equipped with Naiad zero speed stabilizers, she is built to Lloyd’s class.
 
Sinot, known for their owner-centered custom designs, has devised some highly creative solutions for the interior including a spectacular pool lounge and spa treatment room.
 
In addition to a 4m pool on the main deck, the yacht features an unusually large “generation three” full-beam beach club which opens on three sides, with the port and starboard shell doors converting into extended platforms on the sea.
Guest accommodation includes the Owner’s suite on a private deck and 5 guest cabins plus a VIP cabin on the main deck. NB69 carries up to 22 crew in 10 double cabins in addition to the captain’s quarters.
 
A touch-and-go helicopter pad is located forward on the upper deck and the large tender garages house a 10m limousine tender as well as the 8.5m multi-purpose guest tender, a 5.5m rescue/crew tender and several wave runners along with Nitrox diving capability.

Stuart is pleased to announce the sale of Awatea, the 45-metre ocean-going motor yacht delivered by Hakvoort in 2008. Stuart acted for the buyer. Correctly priced and in excellent condition, Awatea (former My Trust) had not reached the market, but was based in Antibes. Awatea is Stuart’s fifth sale in 2020, confirming strong demand and resilient pricing notwithstanding the current travel restrictions.

With a steel hull and aluminum superstructure, Awatea was designed by Cor de Rover with naval architecture by Diana Yacht Design while Felix Buytendijk was responsible for the interior design.
In 2018, the new owner redecorated the interior, lightening the palette without altering the layout. The current interior is modern classic featuring mahogany panels, superbly bevelled raised panel joinery and classic white painted surfaces and beamed deck heads. The prevailing color scheme includes tones of blue, aqua and white.

Built to Lloyds and MCA, Awatea was the first yacht to be built for chartering under the Dutch government rules for Commercial Cruising Vessels (CCV) and has the perfect length and layout for worldwide family cruising.
Larger than normal for a 45m, her layout makes the most of her 499 GT. All five staterooms are really spacious with en-suite bathrooms and the full-beam master suite, accessed via a private study, has 2.30m headroom.  She sleeps 10 guests with the master suite on deck and accommodates nine crew. A tender garage for a 7.6m tender and all her water toys keeps her decks clear for owner and guest relaxation.

Awatea is equipped with an ultra-modern stabilization system and cruises comfortably at 11.3 knots with max speed of 13 knots. Powered by twin 3508 Caterpillar engines she has a range of 4,600 nautical miles at her cruising speed.

 

SStuart is pleased to announce the sale of the sailing yacht Blue Too, his fourth sale in 2020. Notwithstanding the unprecedented global health crisis, interest in yachting remains steady, including interest from younger, first time buyers and also due to low interest rates and a relatively stable stock market.

BLUE TOO is a superb world cruiser designed by Ron Holland globally known for his successful maxi-racers and large, performance-oriented cruising yachts. Built in 1998 by Alloy Yachts in New Zealand she has been maintained in mint condition with two full refits in 2008 and 2016. A Patton survey completed in 2019 concluded that "BLUE TOO is a well-built yacht designed for world cruising. She has been proven over her lifetime with many Transocean passages, both Atlantic and Pacific. The vessel has been maintained very well by her present owner and crew with several major refits and up-graded equipment. She is in first class cruising condition”.

BLUE TOO includes state-of-the-art equipment like in-furling booms, bow and stern thrusters and a hydraulic transom with a fold-down stairway to the bathing platform. With a total sail area of 6,675 sq ft (620 sq m) last season she won the St Barths Bucket in her class with three first place finishes and the largest cumulative margin ever recorded in the Bucket's history.

Her performance under sail is only matched by the superb quality of the Redman Whiteley Dixon interior and layout. A very interesting feature is her two-cockpit design.  The spacious central cockpit offers superb seating, sailing comfort and room for al fresco dining while there is a private owner’s cockpit aft with direct access from the master stateroom.
BLUE TOO can accommodate six guests and all staterooms have entertainment centers and en-suite bathroom facilities, while a further two cabins sleep five crew.
BLUE TOO was asking USD 4,900,000.

Stuart is pleased to announce the sale of MAG III, his third sale in 2020 after the 74m Odyssey and the 41m Dreamer.
Without doubt the 45m MAG III was the best-in-class Benetti Vision on the market.  MAG III was delivered in 2009 as Hull # 11 of 19 and is equipped with Zero-speed stabilizers and an elevator from the lower to the upper decks. Built to ABS class by a project manager who had 16 Benetti build projects to his name, she has transatlantic range and, although only used privately, MAG III is MCA compliant and her 10-year class survey was completed at the end of 2019. She was also US duty paid.

In pristine condition, MAG III punches well above her weight. Her elegant interior is beautifully decorated by Bannenberg and Rowell who optimized her functional layout showcasing the impressive airy interior spaces and the large sun deck, with a hot tub and al fresco dining, to their best.
The swim platform is accessed from the main deck aft. The tender garage doors fold down creating a large area on the water and when the toys are out of the garage the area becomes a beach club.

MAG III accommodates 12 guests in five staterooms. The full beam master stateroom on the main deck is very spacious with a private study, an unusual 270-degree panoramic view from the stateroom, his and her baths, generous closets and storage space. The stateroom opens onto a private veranda forward.
At USD 10,750,000 MAG III was more competitively priced than other Visions on the market which did not offer the same amenities, technical standard and levels of maintenance.
