Luxury Charter Superyacht 130ft MUSTANG SALLY: Perfectly In Tune

MUSTANG SALLY is a testimony to Westport Yachts` stunning architecture, engineering and meticulous craftsmanship. Boatbookings was invited to tour the elegant superyacht while berthed in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. Her sleek white profile, elegantly bisected by dark swaths of vertical windows made a stunning first impression.

Stepping onboard MUSTANG SALLY we were greeted by a smilingcrew, busily attending to their duties yet magically ever-present to answer our questions. The aroma of gourmet delicacies wafted forth from the galley.
Comfortable furniture in the main salon beckons relaxation, to simply sink down amidst the plump sofa cushions and exhale deeply. The 26-foot beam on MUSTANG SALLY, unobstructed by partitions or bulky built-in cabinets, creates voluminous interior spaces. The ambience is soft and elegant, featuring rich dark woods complemented by furnishings in earth tones accented by delicate floral upholstery.

The sizeable ensuite staterooms are variations on the same rich design theme, featuring comfortable leather headboards and wrapped rails, with built-in cabinetry that does not detract from a very spacious feel. When not lost in a reverie of bliss, guests can access state-of-the-art entertainment systems available in all cabins.

MUSTANG SALLY is a tri-deck with expansive exterior spaces for dining, lounging or soaking up the sun. There is also a full compliment of water toys and tenders. Most impressive, however, was the custom-designed tender. This speedy Mini Mustang is equipped with four Mercury Verado 300 HP engines and plenty of seating in the bow for your entire charter group.

MUSTANG SALLY is an ideal luxury yacht for cruising in Florida and the Bahamas and will be sure to thrill fishing aficionados who choose to include the 66-foot Spencer sportfish, available as an option to their charter package.

Pro Ship has a new design on the drawing board that features sleek Italian styling with modular Asian inspired interiors. The 98’ Flybridge concept features a lightweight, aluminum hull and superstructure that allow the yacht to reach a projected maximum speed of 26 knots.

The luxury motor yacht, designed by Antonio Luxardo, has a floor plan spacious enough for 18 passengers, featuring accommodations for 10 guests, a separate dining room that seats 10, an open and airy salon and ample built-in storage throughout. The yacht, with a generous length to beam ratio, promises to provide pleasingly roomy interiors as well as capacious deck areas and a voluminous flybridge sundeck.

The yacht design offers the maneuvering ease, style and amenities of an owner/operator day cruiser yet, with capacity for up to four crewmembers and plenty of living space, is also a vessel well suited for spending a week or more on a sea escape. These qualities indicate that this 98’ flybridge has much potential as the ideal charter yacht that Pro Ship envisions.

Onboard the Lazzara 116ft SERENITY: A+ Luxury Yacht


Recently Boatbookings had the good fortune of getting onboard SERENITY, a superb luxury yacht that truly has it all. SERENITY was designed by the always innovative Lazzara team, who departed from their semi-custom formula to style a more customized yacht at the request of the owners, a family from Chicago that required, among other things, complete wheelchair accessibility.

Upon entering the salon via the aft deck we were instantly awed by the interior color palette in hues of blue and green. The contemporary essence of design has an organic flow with the feel of gently lapping waters. Thanks to interior designer Christine DeLashmutt, the traditional depiction of nautical interiors has taken a quantum leap into the 21st century onboard SERENITY.

SERENITY is a luxury yacht that is immediately welcoming. Open architecture on the main deck allows aft areas to flow freely forward, further unencumbered by the absence of cabinets and columns more typical of Lazzara’s interior styling, and results in a voluminous main deck that is open, airy and facilitates circulation.

SERENITY is an ideal family charter yacht. The owners are experienced yachtsmen that cruise with their extended family. In collaboration with the Lazzara team, they have incorporated custom elements that are both sophisticated and cozy. For example, the owners like to cook and the galley, designed more like a kitchen, features a delightful skylight with an opaque option, positioned above the convivial C-shape seating area.

SERENITY has a rather extraordinary toy chest, thanks to crew quarter design modifications made by Dick Lazzara. The yacht houses Seabobs, waverunners, paddleboards, and more. There is even a towed fishing boat and plenty of gear for fishing enthusiasts.

The crew onboard SERENITY has a great attitude. They have intimate cruising knowledge of Florida and the Bahamas and exude an infectious level of enthusiasm when it comes to having fun. In addition, the delicacies we sampled during our visit on board were superb. Charter SERENITY once, and like many others, you will likely become a repeat client.

Newest Superyacht Deep-Sea Submarine Debuts at Monaco Yacht Show

Imagine the thrill of navigating the depths of the undersea world onboard a private submarine. U-Boat Worx has been outfitting superyachts with two- and three-man submersibles for several years, but their latest model allows up to five passengers to reach an extraordinary maximum depth of 3,300 feet.

The C-Explorer model reaches greater depths for longer periods of time than the C-Quester, currently an option on a select few luxury charter yachts. Deluxe onboard amenities include a fully air-conditioned chamber, iPod stereo system and champagne cooler. Relax, sip on a glass of chilled champagne and marvel as the enchanted world far below the surface of the sea drifts by.

The C-Explorer line was announced by the Dutch company U-Boat Worx this past April, and will make a debut appearance at the Monaco Yacht Show September 22-25. The company has been manufacturing private world-class submersibles for the yachting industry since 2005.
