Notes From The Editor

Week Ending 19/08/2011

The Monaco Yacht Show now stands just over a month away and as more and more details are being confirmed, we can now bring you a list of the biggest yachts set to attend the show so far.

Seven Seas
Successfully introduced to the water by one of the world’s leading yacht builders, Oceanco, the 85m superyacht Seven Seas is one of the focal new launches of 2010 – next to Eclipse that is.

Seven Seas stands as the 49th largest yacht in the world and, boasting a characteristic design by Nuvolari & Lenard, will be one of the most distinctive superyachts at the Monaco Yacht Show this year.

Cakewalk
One of the more well known yachts at key industry shows since her launch in 2010, the 85m Cakewalk is world renowned for being the largest superyacht built in the USA since the 1930s.

After visiting the Fort Lauderdale Boat Show last year and the Cannes Film Festival this year, Cakewalk is set to make her debut at the 2011 Monaco Yacht Show this September and will no doubt cause quite a commotion as the 50th largest yacht in the world.

Pegaso
Since her launch in Vigo, Spain last year, this impressive 73m expedition superyacht has remained somewhat under covered by the superyacht media; yet holds some of the most unique elements of design on the superyacht market.

Built to a customised blueprint by H2 Yacht Design, Pegaso is ranked as the 97th largest yacht in the world and acts as a luxury research vessel for oceanographic study and conservation.

Pegaso is equipped with a custom built 9m long submarine, located in her 150 metre square hangar, which allows six people to dive up to 165m into the blue abyss. Not only does this luxury yacht hold a custom built submarine, but it uses its vast size to house a separate 328 square metre area dedicated to scientific equipment and a separate laboratory.

Numptia
Having only been launched in June, the 70m Numptia will be facing her worldwide yacht show debut at the Monaco Yacht Show next month and will be showcasing her expert Rossi Navi craftsmanship alongside the finest yachts in the world.

It is now almost a year since we set up shop for the last show in Port Hercules and worked long and hard to provide our readers with a constant stream of breaking news and exclusive interviews straight from the dock.

Now, with the Monaco Yacht Show once again just around the corner, I can officially say that Superyachts.com is preparing something that will easily out-do our performance in 2010 and deliver our readers with the breaking news of the year.
