Recently I seem to have been reviewing Mangusta yachts ALOT! When I recorded this video I had already published a video of the Mangusta 165 "Da Vinci" that is available for charter and a video about another 165 "Serenity" that is available for sale. Little did I know that I was about to film yet another one about a Mangusta 108' called "Neoprene" - also available for sale. All of these videos have received tremendous amounts of views, which tells me that the yachting public is very much in love with this brand. So in this video I am delighted to update you on what is happening NOW at Marvelous Mangusta!

Mangusta 108' "Neoprene" is unlike any other yacht on the water. A leather clad biker chick with an attitude her bite is decidedly fiercer than her bark...but she was a lot of fun to hang out with in Monaco!

One of the most satisfying projects that I am pursuing on this YouTube channel is following the construction of two of ICON's incredible superyachts under construction. In this video I meet on of yachting's most famous designers; Tim Heywood, and I talk to him about what makes the 280 so very special.

THANKFULLY NOW AT A FAR MORE SENSIBLE PRICE... James Wharram's superb book "Two Girls, Two Catamarans" https://amzn.to/2FgA0vF Last week I published a vlog from Lürssen's enormous refit facility in Hamburg, where "Jubilee" has recently arrived to undergo a one year refit. Unfortunately due to concerns about confidentiality I was unable to film the yacht itself, so as a consolation to viewers who were hoping for a glimpse of the Igor Lobanov designed beauty...here is a vlog dedicated to her.

Many years ago as a young fledgling broker I looked at the possibility of offering yachts for sale on a co-ownership basis. In spite of the assistance of some very smart businessmen and a legal team. we had great difficulty of coming up with a workable solution. For that reason I was intrigued when Matty Zadnikar from SEANET invited me on board his yacht to discuss his company and his innovative idea for making yacht ownership a more cost-effective proposition.

Lürssen Yachts are well known for having constructed some of the world's largest and prestigious superyachts. Behind the scenes though there is an industry of mammoth proportions, superbly organised by a team that ensures that their size does not prevent each client from receiving bespoke service. I had the privilege of taking a look at their refit facility in Hamburg as I searched for the 110 meter yacht "Jubilee", newly arrived for a one year refit! Join me as I search for "Jubilee"!

The speed boat market is full of amazing products to fit just about every taste and every pocket. I'm no expert in the field of these vessels so I really can't advise on whether a SeaRay is preferable to a Master Craft or a Bayliner...but I'm well tuned in to the Italian yacht scene and so am happy to tell you about three amazing speed boats made in Italy that are new to the market.

Many superyachts look gorgeous and are easy to admire, but some have a beauty that is more than just skin deep. OceAnco recently announced a line of designs called "LIFE" designs, and used their awe-inspiring 109m yacht "Bravo Eugenia" as an example of such a design. This video takes a look at what is behind Oceanco's LIFE designs!

Monaco is well known for being one of the most prestigious and well managed marinas for superyachts. The management of Monaco Ports have identified a nearby venue for a new marina development called Cala del Forte. This new marina is world's apart from Monaco, whilst being on its doorstep. It offers the best of both worlds! For more information contact sales@caladelforte-ventimiglia.it

TUTTO LE MARRANÉ is not only a remarkable example of a Leopard 46m superyacht, she is also by far the most highly evolved. The only model to be fitted with an MTU 4000 series central booster engine and gyroscopic zero speed stabilisers, she offers outstanding value not only due to her enhanced performance but also by virtue of her optimised weight distribution. This kind of value is measured not only in dollars, but also in smiles as you savour every moment on board.

One of the most fascinating and exciting new build projects in the superyacht industry today is the 68m Explorer Yacht "Ragnar". Inspired by medieval warrior designs this vessel is being custom built for an owner that knows EXACTLY what he wants. Join me as I walk through the yacht and show you some of "Ragnar"s remarkable features.

To watch one of Mike Joyce's videos on the Hargrave YouTube channel check out https://youtu.be/GTwJYaK7FoQ To see Feadship's amazing 'Carte Blanche' video watch https://youtu.be/bbFCVYXIkLs Hargrave is a yacht builder that I hardly ever mention in my vlogs, but they have a tremendous history in yacht design and construction. Just a few weeks ago they announced the launch of a new 184' yacht. Visitors to the Fort Lauderdale Yacht Show later this year should be able to se it there. Meanwhile, Feadship continue to rock the yachting world with the launch of 58 meter "Najiba", a very highly customised yacht with some quite unusual features. And finally - my own personal news is that I shall be flying to Miami next week to film the awesome 46 meter Leopard yacht "Tutto Le Marrane". For enquiries about this yacht you can contact me at david.seal@northropandjohnson.com

To see the amazing ISA EXTRA 76 check out: https://youtu.be/EDH_K3x6Jo4 The mighty Palumbo Group recently purchased the USA shipyard in Ancona, Italy, and ever since have been on fire with activity. The launch of 80m "Dragon" made the news just a couple of weeks ago, but when I visited the shipyard I found it to be buzzing with other projects too. This vlog covers one of their most exciting proposals to yacht owners; the 100 meter Hydrotech designed "CROSSBOW".

Pershing yachts have always been very close to my heart; not just for their sleek and sporty design but also for the part they played in my formative years in the yachting industry. The announcement that they have launched their largest ever vessel, the Pershing 140', really grabbed the attention of the yachting world and they have not failed to impress. Not only is this a very beautiful yacht, but it also has some clever design features that shall bring added pleasure to the owner's experience on board.

Earlier this year I was given the honour of attending the Benetti YachtMaster event in Viareggio. I was asked to interview two highly experienced Captain's in particularly regarding their experiences at Benetti and how this may benefit other Captains. It was a wonderful opportunity to observe the high regard that Benetti hold for these important industry professionals, but also to get to know two experienced Captains a little better: Capt. David Davidson, and Capt. Mario Lodovico Salani.

With over 30% of all my viewers coming from the United States I thought it was about time I featured one of their Iconic builders; BERTRAM Yachts! This brand is practically a household name in America and not only has a wonderful history but is also building some very interesting models that should assure a prosperous future for the company. I was hoping to visit the Bertram stand during the forthcoming Palm Beach Yacht Show, but since filming this video my trip has been put back to the end of April - when I look forward to re-visiting the country that has brought the world such great sports fisher yachts!

Oceanco have consistently amazed the yachting world with some of the most recognisable and remarkable superyachts. When they announce a new project it is always an exciting moment because they are one of the few companies on earth actually capable of realising some pretty extreme designs. "Esquel" is without a doubt one of the most awe inspiring designs they have every presented, here are a few details you may not have known about this particular project. Many Thanks to superyachttimes.com for providing the images of Oceanco yachts that have already been launched, and oceancoyacht.com for the renderings of "Esquel".
