The diverse 950-nautical-mile Caribbean cruise, which ended with a bucket-list box seat off Gustavia, was a complete success and will take place again next year. Find out what makes the St Barths Bucket so special and what time period you should keep free for a break under palm trees in 2026.
Anyone who has ever felt the adrenaline rush of deep-sea fishing, when a large tuna or swordfish fights with all its might, will understand the fascination that emanates from the supreme discipline of fishing. Then there is the culinary part that follows: nothing beats freshly caught fish as skilfully prepared ceviche or sushi. It is unusual for yachts to be designed and built around the hobby of big-game fishing. The 52-metre-long "Special One", which was commissioned by a passionate angler at Royal Huisman, is unique. What the Dutch shipyard delivered to the experienced yacht owner last year deserves only one accolade: outstanding! My colleague Sören Gehlhaus takes you around the decks and up the 18 metre high "Tuna Tower".
Today, pools belong on every yacht. These refreshing and fitness pools enhance the look of the boat and are one of the most popular items of equipment on charter yachts. We show which formats have the most unusual pools, how they have developed technically over the last few decades and how dangerous sloshing can be avoided.
Enjoy this issue!
Yours sincerely, Martin Hager
