If you enjoyed Yacht Island Design’s previous work - Streets of Manaco - then you will surely love their latest creation: the Tropical Island Paradise. The Tropical Island Paradise is a 90-meter vessel inspired by the islands of the Caribbean, Indian Ocean, and Polynesia, a fact that is made abundantly clear upon first looking at this remarkable creation.
The exterior main deck of the Tropical Paradise includes a swimming pool, guest cabanas, a bar, and outdoor dining. This is rather typical of a cruise ship, but then there’s a beautiful waterfall that creates the impression that it is running from the volcano and feeding into the swimming pool. The interior features an owner’s suite which is located inside the volcano and spreads over two decks. The living room balcony offers views out over the front of the yacht from behind the waterfall. Located behind the bedroom is the owner’s private spa. The yacht accommodates four VIP suites, all with private balconies and direct access up into the beach cabanas.
At the rear, there is a sculpted wave-form of the superstructure, as well as a rear deck which doubles as a helicopter landing pad because, well, how else would you get on the yacht, right? The final element is a deployable beach deck which allows access to the sea for various water-sports and sea level relaxation.
We’d say, "Sign us up!" but we highly doubt we would be able to afford such a grand time at sea.
Stingray Boats has revealed the 2011 225SX, the world’s fastest luxury boat. The boat rides on Stingray’s next-generation Z-plane hull, which means its performance is hard to beat in its size class. All you have to pay is $79,000 and it will be yours.
When you put the throttle down, the 225SX pops on plane in seconds. Trimmed out at full throttle, only the last few feet of hull make contact with the water as it releases to reach max speed. The hull design ensures that it handles turns with agility.
The Singray 225SX comes with a small block V8 power option that delivers an impressive 320 HP when running in full gear.
"We are driven to bring the best of the best in the world and the Sting Ray 225 SX, which is the world’s fastest luxury boat, is definitely one of the highlights to watch out for at this year’s edition of ‘Big Boys Toys."
Ducati in collaboration to Cigarette Racing Team has unveiled at the Miami International Boat Show the new Cigarette Racing 42X Ducati Edition. The new boat is powered by two 1,100hp Mercury Racing engines that will sprint it to a top speed of 120 mph. The 42X is painted in white with a Ducati Red racing stripe, while the interior features red accents and a specially designed stereo from JL Audio.
"We are delighted to team up with Cigarette Racing Team, the Ducati of the sea. This new 42X Ducati Edition brings together the two legends of performance, design and racing heritage. I am very excited to announce this exciting boat, and feel we have found an excellent new partner in the team at Cigarette Racing." Said Gabriele Del Torchio, President and CEO of Ducati Motor Holding S.p.A.
"We are very proud to announce our partnership with one of the world’s greatest high performance, design and lifestyle brands: Ducati. The relationship between Ducati and Cigarette Racing allows two incredible high performance brands to showcase our passions together in complimentary ways. Ducati is the only motorcycle brand that fits the performance and lifestyle expectations of Cigarette’s customers.” Said Skip Braver, CEO of Cigarette Racing Team.
Monaco is no doubt a dream town. European or not there is no one in this world who does not wish to see it at least once. So, it comes as no surprise that a legend like this has inspired a luxury yacht. Called Streets of Monaco, this is a concept yacht designed by Yacht Island Design in cooperation to BMT Nigel Gee.
"The art of producing a themed yacht is to seamlessly weave a story into every element of the design and is achieved via extensive consultation with the client during the initial phases of the design process."
The yacht features four major external deck spaces. The first one includes the main swimming pool with swim-in Jacuzzi/bar and the Casino Square, featuring a large glass-bottomed fountain in a tranquil garden setting. The second one is a multi-purpose courtyard that allows various sporting activities and doubles as a helipad.
The third is called ‘The Oasis’ and includes a central waterfall feature, a Spa with manicure and hair salon, sauna/steam rooms and a relaxation lounge featuring a spa pool with a bar. And finally the fourth one is called Grand Atrium and includes seven guest suites, library, communal office, communal balcony and cinema.
