The 157’ (47.8m) M/Y CHEVY TOY has a spectacularly rich interior that mirrors a stately home of Europe. Built in 2004 by Trinity Yachts, this plush superyacht has a baby grand piano, large swim platform, and air-conditioned alfresco dining for 10 on the aft deck.

Even with some of the most beautiful and fastest yachts in the world to admire and compete, this gorgeous beauty managed to set the world record. Cruise swiftly from one destination to another at a speed of 60 knots (in flat seas) in ultimate style and comforts with this best ever yacht.

Equipped with three gas turbineswhich that pump16,800 HP power, it is also capable of tackling rough waters with ease.

Its V hull shape combined with the construction technology and the perfect isolation of the machinery noise and vibration renders an absolute smooth and stable ride.

World renowned luxury yacht agents Fraser Yachts recently added the wonderful 46m (151′) S/Y Lulworth for sale. Built in 1920 but wonderfully restored in 2006 to her former glory, S/Y Lulworth is available for sale with an asking price of Euro 14,950,000 through Richard Earp of Fraser Yachts, Monaco.

Designed by Luiz de Basto of Miami, the SeaFair’s Grand Luxe is world’s first luxury-exposition megayacht. It will display art, jewelry, and antiques from prestigious U.S. and European museums, art galleries, and jewelers. Sized at 228 foot, it will also be available for private events, offering two five-star quality restaurants, open-air caviar and champagne lounges, and cocktail areas in conjunction with the exhibitions. All events will occur portside only.

It is an innovative concept designed to expand the marketing reach of American and International dealers while revolutionizing interest in the local arts and cultural community. In today’s challenging global environment, this custom-designed exhibition yacht will bring dealers directly to collectors’ seasonal residences rather than requiring the collector to travel a great distance in order to visit world-renowned galleries. The massive three-tiered $20 million Grand Luxe, is currently undergoing ship modifications, and marketing adjustments.

Switzerland’s Basel Fair is just around the corner and to most watch aficionados that means seeing the newest designs from all of the major watch brands.

One brand we always look forward to is Bell & Ross, who just unveiled their Minuteur Tourbillon and Grand Minuteur timepieces.

The Minuteur Tourbillon features a satin polished pink gold case that houses a manually wound mechanical movement, flyback function, and three-day power reserve indicator.

Our favorite, The Grand Minuteur, has a black scratch-resistant titanium case that also has a manually wound mechanical movement that features a flyback function and 10-day power reserve indicator.
