Inside The Best Superyacht Toy Garages in the World

By | Blog Posts

Flying Fox

Superyacht toy garages can hold all types of water sports gear, from Jet Skis and submarines to motorbikes and off-roaders. We round up the best garages on board superyachts, starting with the 136 metre Flying Fox…

A cavernous garage on board Lürssen’s Flying Fox holds five tenders and a treasure trove of toys, from flyboards and foiling sufboards to Seabobs and windsurfs. There’s also a dedicated kite surf store and a dive centre that will make enthusiasts swoon. Here guests will find every bit of kit imaginable, from advanced nitrox mixing systems to full face masks and underwater scooters for those looking to explore the underwater world. Diving not your cup of tea? There’s a submarine on board that can take you down to the depths instead.

Hodor

Sitting on the top deck of the 66 metre shadow catamaran Hodor, you’ll find a Nautique ski boat, a custom Metal Shark landing craft, and a 388 Skater powerboat with with a top speed of 165 knots. But that’s not all – below there’s a whole garage full of goodies. Hodor‘s toy garage houses nine Jet Skis, two Yamaha ATVs, four Yamaha TW200 trail motorcycles and a three-person submarine.

Savannah

The garage on the award-winning 83.5 metre Feadship Savannah opens up her smooth flank to reveal a wealth of toys. In addition to her four tenders, guests will find two Yamaha stand-up Jet Skis, two Seadoo Spark Jet Skis, two Jet Surfs, four seabobs, a Laser sailing dinghy, four mountain bikes, an inflatable slide, and the list goes on. The garage also creates a sweeping platform from which to launch them.


Illusion V

With a Snuba, Jet Surf, and inflatable slide among her many toys, it’s easy to see why the 58 metre Benetti superyacht Illusion V is a charter favorite. As well as an inflatable dock for all her toys, Illusion V also boasts a Jetovator and a Flyboard, for soaring out of the water and floating serenely above it, respectively.

Andromeda

The captain calls the toy garage of this 107.4 metre Kleven superyacht a man cave and it’s no wonder why. This toy box is home to Harley-Davidsons, Ducatis, KTM off-roaders and all-terrain vehicles, ideal for on-shore exploration.

Silver Angel

The toy box on this 64.5 metre Benetti boasts a pick and mix selection of treats including Jet Skis, wakeboards and scuba kit. As if that wasn’t enough there’s also gear for kiteboarding, kneeboarding, deep-sea fishing, an even golfing thanks to a Teeit Golf machine on sun deck.

Palladium

Hate waiting for your turn on the Jet Ski? The 96 metre Blohm & Voss superyacht Palladium solves this problem with a tender garage big enough to store eight personal watercraft – enough for every guest on board should they be willing to share. Luckily she also has quarters for 34 crew so getting them out on the water takes no time at all either.

Saluzi

Another popular charter yacht, 69 metre Saluzi packs all sorts of novelties, from Sea Bobs and waterskis for speedsters to paddleboards, glass-bottom kayaks, an on-water pool and a dive centre for guests looking for a more sedate experience.

Titania

Spend hours on the water with Titania’s inflatable climbing frame, Kawasaki stand up Jet Skis, flyboard, and 12.7 metre inflatable slide. Plus, two qualified Jet Ski instructors are on hand to show you the ropes. Launched in 2006 with a refit in 2018, the 72 metre Titania is in shipshape for the coming charter season. She is currently offered for charter through Burgess.

Top 6 destinations for a luxury superyacht party

By | Blog Posts, Uncategorized

Nothing says luxury like an event hosted on board a superyacht. In recent years, these events have become more popular as people look to rub shoulders with the rich and famous in some of the world’s most stunning locations.

So you’ve started to think about partying on board a superyacht: Will it be themed? What food and drink will be served? Who’s on the guest list?

These are all important questions to ensure you get the most out of your yacht event, but arguably the most important factor in the mood and ambience of the event is where it will be.

From the U.S.A’s tropical paradise of Miami, Florida, to the classic luxury of the French Riviera, see our list of top luxury yacht party destinations below:

  1. Monaco



    Monaco is well known as a party hub on the French Riviera. The Monaco Grand Prix, along with the Cannes Film Festival further down the coast attracts celebrities and their entourages throughout the month of May. It doesn’t stop there though – the weather is beautiful for months and Monaco remains a thriving party destination well into late summer. If you’re looking for entertainment for your yacht party, the French Riviera is a great place to book some of the world’s greatest artists. Port Hercules is the place to berth in Monaco for a glamorous party atmosphere. This is a great place to look out for celebrities, and there are numerous companies nearby to help you organize an amazing yacht party.

    Where to berth: Port Hercule
    Maximum LOA 120M
    Max draft 5-30M


  2. Ibiza



    Ibiza has been synonymous with summer Mediterranean partying since shortly after it’s a first modern club “Pacha” started filling with revelers in the early ‘70s. More than forty years later the island has not lost its party credentials, although the choice – and levels of extravagance – have certainly increased.

    Ibiza is perfect for a no-holds-barred superyacht party, and for a little bit of peace and quiet, Formentera, the Balearics’ smallest sibling, is a short hop to the south.

    Where to berth: Ibiza Magna
    Maximum LOA 60M
    Max draft 10M

  3. Mykonos



    Mykonos is one of Greece’s most tourist-heavy islands and one that has become a hub for those looking for fun in the sun. In the middle of the stunning blue waters of the Aegean, this Cycladic party island has more to offer than you might expect and is flanked by smaller islands rich in history and culture.

    Where to berth: Old port
    Maximum LOA 60M
    Max draft 7M

  4. Montenegro



    Montenegro has regained its reputation as a superyacht party hotspot and has even been dubbed ‘the next Monaco for yacht charters’.

    The largest marina – Porto Montenegro – looks out over the stunning Bay of Kotor towards the Adriatic Sea and Italy, and is known for luxury accommodation and services, as well as its glamorous high-end yacht parties in late Summer. Since opening in 2009, this marina has been one of the most sought after superyacht destinations in the Mediterranean. 

    The full service marina has a range of sporting facilities, bars, clubs and even a Naval Heritage Museum, but the marina really comes alive at night when the berthed superyachts become some of the most luxurious party venues in the World.

    If you’re looking to host a superyacht party with a bit more panache and sophistication than some of the other Mediterranean hotspots, Porto Montenegro is the venue for you.

    Where to berth: Montenegro
    Maximum LOA – 250M
    Max Draft – 12.2M

  5. Puerto Banús



    Already a world-renowned party hotspot, Puerto Banús on the Costa del Sol in Spain was boosted in summer 2015 when superyacht owner and fashion designer Roberto Cavalli opened a new luxury club.

    It now hosts some of the wildest yacht parties on the Spanish coast, especially for British and German expats, and is a great destination for fun and frivolity on a yacht.

    Where to berth: Puerto Jose Banús
    Maximum LOA – 50M
    Max Draft – 4.5M

  6.  Miami



    Miami hosts a huge array of yacht parties and is our only destination on our list outside of the Mediterranean.

    With a reputation for attracting a broader range of clientele, this summer Miami Beach plays host to parties ranging from ticketed luxury events, through to a “Cannabis Networking event onboard a luxurious yacht” courtesy of Chronic Lifestyle Magazine.

    The laid back tropical atmosphere of Miami Beach makes for the perfect setting for a party on board a megayacht.

    Where to berth: Miami Beach Marina
    Maximium LOA – 45.7M
    Max Draft – 38.1M

    Organize your event in Athens and Mykonos.

282m Njord: Espen Oeino is designing the world’s largest superyacht

By | Blog Posts

Norwegian naval architect and designer Espen Oeino is behind many of the world’s largest superyachts, including the currently in-build 182.9-metre expedition vessel REV. Together with Ocean Residences, he is now working on megayacht concept that would overdo REV by 100 metres. With 118 apartments, this largest private superyacht ever would be 281.8 metres long with a width of 33.5 metres.

Njord is named after god of the seas and winds in Scandinavian mythology. The mammoth concept will stretch across 12 decks, while the volumes of internal premises will reach 81,000 GT.


The 118 residences on-board will be offered for sale, as well as 16 cabins for guests or service. The residences will be available in 20 different configurations with 2 to 6 bedrooms, covering from 116 to 800 square metres in total.

Living rooms of each residence will feature sea views and open terraces. In general, interior designs will be customised. Meanwhile, each of the 311 crew members will also have their own cabin (1:2 guest to crew ratio).


As to the amenities, two outdoor pools, an indoor pool, wellness facilities, a nightclub and jazz lounge area will be available for common use. In addition, a telescope observatory lounge will lay on the top deck.

What is more, the megayacht will be capable of undertaking scientific and oceanographic research while circumnavigating the globe.


There will be all necessary equipment on-board to conduct full-fledged round-the-world expeditions, collecting data for international laboratories. The vessel will be fitted with an oceanographic research laboratory, a gyroscopic telescope, drones, two submersibles and two eight-seat, Airbus ACH 160 helicopters with a range of 400 nautical miles without refuelling.

The superyacht is targeted at 2024 delivery. No shipyard has been involved in the project so far, however, negotiations are understood to be underway.
