The 37m/122ft ATLANTIDE was designed by naval architect Alfred Mylne and built by British shipyard Philip & Sons in 1930. After being transported across the Atlantic from Newport, USA, she has returned to Europe to the Netherlands to preserve her rich history while preparing this 90-year-old vessel for future adventures.

Huisfit has established a reputation as one of the leading refit facilities anywhere in the world for classic restorations, rebuilds and conversions: In 2020 the shipyard received that Best Rebuilt Yacht award at the World Superyacht Awards 2020 for the rebuild of 1913-built Herreshoff schooner VAGRANT. Motor-sailer ATLANTIDE will be the fourth yacht from Owner Dr. Jim Clark to undergo work in the care of Royal Huisman – in 1998 charter yacht HYPERION was the first of his yachts to be refitted, followed by ATHENA in 2004 and then J-Class sailing yacht HANUMAN in 2009.

MORE INFO ABOUT THE YACHT | ENQUIRE

Verventia, the organiser of the Thailand Yacht Show, has announced that the 2021 event has been postponed following an outbreak of coronavirus in the country that has resulted on restrictions on inter-provincial travel, and visitors entering the country from the 12th of January must now undergo a 14-day quarantine upon arrival.

Royal Phuket Marina in Thailand

The Thailand Yacht Show 2021 was originally scheduled to take place from the 11th – 14th February but will now take place later in the year. CEO Andy Treadwell commented on the situation:

“We have discussed the options with our principal stakeholders, and all agree that we have no choice in the matter. With only six weeks to go to show opening, and travel restrictions seeming likely to become more widely enforced over the next few weeks, it would simply be irresponsible to continue with plans to stage the show over the Chinese New Year period in February, even if it were allowed. Despite the financial hardships this will cause for our suppliers, our exhibitors, and for ourselves too, we are in full agreement with the government’s anti-Covid safety measures, and we will just have to wait for the situation to ease.”

Phuket and the surrounding islands within the Andaman Sea have proven a popular destination in Southeast Asia for beaches, water sports and nature tours as well as luxury shopping and sensational nightlife.

The new show dates will be announced as soon as possible, with June/July and November being the most likely months for alternatives.

2020 was certainly a year that will be remembered, and one of its best family-sized vessels to be launched onto the Florida and Bahamas charter market should not be forgotten: The 22m/72.2ft luxury yacht RECORD YEAR.

Running

Built by Galeon, brand new M/Y RECORD YEAR boasts timeless interiors of dark wooden panelling contrasted by pale furnishings designed to gather family and friends together in preparation for the next great adventure around Nassau or the Exumas.

Saloon

The outdoor areas treat guests to plenty of shaded areas for dining outdoors and enjoying the views, as well as sun-drenched sections to lie back and rest after a marvellous meal prepared to everyone’s preference by the expert onboard chef. Reach the best snorkelling spots and reefs thanks to the shallow draft, then as sunset approaches watch from the seating or sun pads on the foredeck as the first evening stars emerge.

Flybridge

This compact yacht is packed with water toys, and the collection includes:

• 1 x 3-seater Yamaha Waverunner (2019)
• 2 x paddleboards
• wakeboards (adult and child sizes)
• water skis (adult and child sets)
• a water tube
• fishing gear, and
• snorkelling equipment

While up to 12 guests can remain on board while cruising, the accommodation sleeps a total of 8 guests over 4 cabins: 1 Master suite, 1 VIP stateroom and 2 twin cabins. Both the Master suite and VIP stateroom have their own en-suite bathrooms, whilst the twin cabins share a bathroom.

Master cabin

A pair of MAN V8-1200 engines give an excellent top speed of 32 knots and a fast cruising speed of 20 knots, giving your group more time at the best beaches and fishing spots, and less time in transit.

Heesen has released new information and concept images for Hull YN 19650, known as 50m motor yacht PROJECT AURA.

Heesen Project Aura

Elements found in classic cars inspired exterior designer Clifford Denn to create a masculine profile with sharp angles, as evidenced in the raked bow and reverse sheer. There is also the sturdiness of modern vessels that gives an added sense of safety and endurance, while space is efficiently used to make the most of every alfresco social area on board. Current concept images reveal a Jacuzzi on the sundeck, an abundance of sun loungers and outdoor seating across the decks, and tenders stored on the bow to make space in the lower deck stern for a beach club.

beach club

The steel displacement hull is designed with a bulbous bow by the Dutch shipyard’s highly experienced naval architects and engineers, granting a top speed of 15 knots and a range of 3,800 nautical miles at a cruising speed of 13 knots using her twin MTU 8V4000 M63 engines.

The interiors from Reymond Langton Design place an emphasis on simple and clean living with soft curves to create dream-like surroundings. The white furnishings and teak decking are contrasted with accents in green and blue, ranging from light to dark hues to give each room a personalised appearance.

master suite

The accommodation will provide for up to 10 guests over 5 en-suite cabins, all designed to offer a spacious environment for relaxation and entertainment to wind down at the end of the day.
