I shot the above photograph on the sundeck of the 141-foot Palmer Johnson motoryacht Pure Bliss a week ago today, on the last day of the Genoa charter yacht show. It may seem unremarkable here&#8211;a picture of a nicely set table surrounded by perfectly fluffed pillows and seat cushions&#8211;but the truth is that this photograph [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Yesterday, I reported some of the major points contained in the newly released Super Yachting Index from Camper &#038; Nicholsons International. Today, having had a day to chew on the data, I&#8217;m going to offer some analysis.
For the record, I am also continuing to ask questions of the team at CNI who compiled the report. [...]]]></description>

Last night, in the model room at the New York Yacht Club on West 43rd Street in Manhattan, the world&#8217;s largest charter company attempted to quantify the scope of the global large-yacht industry with statistics never before made available to the public.
The release of the first annual Super Yachting Index from Camper &#038; Nicholsons International [...]]]></description>

I shot the above photo while standing in the main saloon onboard Cristalex, a 100-foot Azimut motoryacht, at last week&#8217;s charter show in Genoa. Looks like lots of other charter yachts, right? Don&#8217;t see anything all that different?
The truth is, what makes Cristalex different&#8211;dare I say unique, at least in her size range&#8211;is the yacht&#8217;s [...]]]></description>

Remember the movie &#8220;Willie Wonka and the Chocolate Factory?&#8221; There&#8217;s a scene at the end, after Charlie learns he has won Wonka&#8217;s contest, where the two of them get into Wonka&#8217;s Great Glass Elevator, push an until-then forbidden button, and then hold on tight as the elevator bursts clear through the roof of the factory [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Today is my last day here at the weeklong Genoa charter show, and I must say, there is a good bit of consensus among reputable brokers on the docks about which motoryacht and sailing yacht are the most exciting here in Italy.
In the motoryacht category, the brand-new, 177-foot CRN Maraya rolls off most brokers&#8217; tongues [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[As I go from yacht to yacht at the annual industry-only charter show here in Genoa, I make a point of asking where the boat will be moving after the summer Mediterranean season is over. Historically, the answer is &#8220;Caribbean.&#8221; It&#8217;s so common, it&#8217;s almost like a reflex.
Not anymore. This year, for the first time, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I spent some time this morning touring a motoryacht called Harmony 1. She is part of the Merrill-Stevens fleet, a perfectly nice 105-footer that spends all year round here in the Mediterranean. Even though the boat&#8217;s proper name is Harmony 1, her brochure and related literature call her, simply, Harmony&#8211;which is the thing, I think, [...]]]></description>

Her recent refit (and I do mean recent, as she just opened her doors today, after completing finishing touches yesterday) was just as lovely [...]]]></description>

This is the largest European charter show of the year, and the public is not allowed on the docks. No need to worry, though: You can look here [...]]]></description>
