Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show 2012 FLIBS

Hi Milow, Since it is for you here are several shots of Kismet hot off the press!



You are so right, she has a very visually interesting design by the famous Espen Oeino that was beautifully executed by Lurssen in 2007.



I am sure she lights up well at night but you will have to ask CaptTom to do her evening shots as they don't let me out much after sunset!



The boys are hard at work getting Kismet looking bright and shiny for the show where she is on the block for a whopping $111M!





Docked just North of Kismet is Kilonen V a Westport 164 built in 2009 to ABS class that you can float away on for a mere $32.4M.

What is the url?

Thanks Milow!!

Caught a few more yachits as they were arriving to take their places in the hit parade.

Bread is looking awesome today in these close up views! The mirror like finish of her hull must have taken lots of elbow grease to accomplish!!





I don't know exactly what it is but every time I see Private Lives I like her more and more.

Maybe it has something to do with her purposeful business like proportions, her beautiful blue hull, her two fantastic dual cushioned fighting chairs, her generous exterior guest spaces, her functional tender storage, her large almost to the waterline master stateroom windows...............



And then we have Mr. Terrible, I figured out that the only thing terrible about Mr. Terrible are the petro bills!!



Mr. Terrible is another yacht that the more I look at her/him the more I like her/him.

The details of the flying bridge and radar arch are an excellent example of how the designer used color, shape, and symmetry to make such a large yacht appear to be flowing and graceful!!!

Awesome, I am on their sister site all day and did not realize they have the Boat Show Cam! Now I need a bigger desktop.

I was taking pictures today and yesterday from the street that is just to the left of the piers and piles on the left side of the frame.

Just like shooting ducks in a barrel but for me lots more fun!!

Unfortunately when I got to the show site today Marco Polo was already partially obscured so these are the best shots I could pull off from across the Intracoastal.



With her hull looking this cool from a distance I can hardly wait to see her on show day close up to get the full effect of the vibrant color!

Excellent looking craft!

The D54 is another boat I can hardly wait to see up close and personal!

At 40 knots she should be here by midnight, just in time to hit the after hours clubs!!!

There were some really big arrivals today to take their place among the large yachts that will be vying for your attention at FLIBS beginning Thursday!

Weighing in at 186' we have Lady Linda a Delta delivered earlier this year that accommodates 12 guests in the lap of luxury that tops out at 20 knots or cruises economically at 10 knots to reach ports 3000 nm away.



Harmony is a 164' Westport that looks as harmonious as her name implies with smooth lines and an warm David Starkey interior that feels like home on the water.

On Harmony you can certainly take the ups and downs of ocean voyages by taking advantage of her elevator that serves all decks.



Next in our line up is the 154' Ohana who was built by Admiral Marine Works in 1998.

She comes complete with a 40" water slide, towables, fishing gear, snorkel gear and 4 wave runners which in my book spell nothing but fun with a capital "F"!!!



Katya is a 150' Delta launched in 2009 produces a comfortable ride for 5,000 nm cruising at a respectable 12.5 knots.



Rest Assured may not be as big as the rest of our contenders but this trusty 68' Nordhavn can travel the oceans of the world hopping 3,000 nm at a time, while using only 3,186 gallons of fuel, carrying her guests in comfort and style!!

What is their ETA for FLIBS or have they already arrived and docked?

YN, thanks for the fact check on Lady Linda, please try to keep me straight!!
