NAVIS April / May 2014

Fans of James Bond movies might experience a sense of déjà vu when they see pictures of the ARKYACHT's Regina. That's because this elegant yacht appeared in the movie Skyfall. If she's good enough for James Bond, she's good enough for anyone. Receiving a finalist nomination of "The World Superyacht Awards 2012" solidifies Regina's reputation as one of the most luxurious, technically masterful yachts in the world.

Working With the Owner

The owners previously owned a 64m Lürssen before they made a decision on the creation of Solandge, Aileen Rodriguez was also part of the refit of the previous yachts interior, where she was able to better reflect the owners personable style. He wanted to upgrade from something spectacular to something nearly miraculous. From the beginning, the design team knew that they had to create a self-sufficient 85-meter yacht that could travel long distances while keeping the owner's family and guests comfortable.

Many yacht owners spend a lot of time researching naval architects, designers, and builders before choosing a company they can trust. The owner of Maxi Dolphin FC3 100, however, devoted an exceptional amount of time to creating the perfect team. That hard work paid off. FC3 100 is one of the fastest, most stylish, most sophisticated yachts in the world.

A yacht's technical specifications can give people the ability to travel great distances in ultimate comfort. When Delta Design Group built Invictus, it included some of the world's most innovative technologies.

That's incredibly important for the owner, who wants to travel the world without leaving the comforts of home behind. But, in a way, these specifications become secondary next to the design's undeniable beauty.

As yachting aficionados develop a preference for larger boats, some of them have found it difficult to find welcoming births that can accommodate their larger sizes. This isn't a problem at Porto Montenegro.

Porto Montenegro was developed at the Bay of Kotor, a former Austro-Hungarian location chosen for its extremely deep waters. The bay has the deepest water of any natural harbor in southern Europe. Large war ships once used the bay with ease. That leaves plenty of room for even the world's biggest yachts.

A lot of people avoid hybrid cars because they don't believe the technology offers enough power or fun. If the Porsche Panamera S E-Hybrid didn't change your mind, then it's time to meet the 918 Spyder, Porsche's latest, greatest hybrid sports car. No matter what you think about hybrid cars, this lightweight sports car shows that hybrid technology can churn out plenty of power and thrills.
