OCEAN YACHTS

Established : 1977 Located : Egg Harbor City, New Jersey Construction : Core Composite Category : Sportfish, Motoryachts

Brand History

In 1977 Jack Leek launched Ocean Yachts with the company’s first boat — a 40′ sportfisherman to which our 25th anniversary New Generation 40 Super Sport paid tribute. But Jack was not the first Leek to build boats in New Jersey. In fact, Leeks have been building and launching them in the historic Mullica River since 1721.

Ocean’s heritage reaches as far back as the original American colonies. Leek-manufactured vessels helped develop our coastal and river trade, create a rich fishing industry, battle pirates and privateers, intercept rum runners during Prohibition and German U-boats in World War II. We can justly say that the Leek family’s involvement in the American maritime industry is as old as the industry itself. Today’s Ocean Yachts may have little in common with those early Leek vessels, or even with C. P.’s revolutionary Pacemakers. But they express — in fiberglass instead of wood — the same spirited determination to produce the highest quality yachts in the world.

Ocean Yachts main focus is delivering semi-custom yachts to their customers. Using unique building methods to build a strong, fast, safe, and seaworthy vessel that can be built faster than custom builders but still catering to each individual customer's needs. This approach has helped separate Ocean Yachts from the other builders, delivering the same family owned customer service that started several decades ago.

52m Feadship motor yacht Pegasus for sale under joint central agents

The 52.2-metre Feadship motor yacht Pegasus has been listed for sale under a joint central agency with Jeremy Comport and Jack Gradus of Ocean Independence and Marine Marketing .

Pegasus was delivered from the De Vries Shipyard in 1995 as White Rabbit to a design by De Voogt Naval Architects . The full displacement motor yacht was built in steel and aluminium and has a volume of 679GT.

In 2009, Pegasus underwent a significant refit back at Feadship which saw a four-metre aft extension to accommodate a beach club and expanded sundeck. Most recently, the 52.2-metre had a main engine overhaul, full paint job and new generators. According to the listing broker at Ocean Independence, 'refits in 2009 and 2023 have optimised both her technical performance and exterior functionality."

The yacht’s interior was designed by the renowned British studio, Winch Design and is defined by bold mahogany panelling, lighter accents, and a white piano in the sky lounge. Natural light floods the main saloon and sky lounge thanks to her floor-to-ceiling windows.

Accommodation on board is for 12 guests across six well-appointed cabins. This includes a full-beam owner’s suite on the main deck, complete with his and hers bathrooms and a private office. The five remaining guest cabins are on the lower deck, each with their own colour scheme.

Up on the sundeck is a spa bath, sit-up bar and free-standing furniture. There is also a television screen out on deck for al fresco movie nights. Guests have easy access to the water via Med stairs and a large swim platform. The beach club has additional seating and lounge space as well as a fully stocked toybox, including Jet Skis, Sea Doos, flite boards, Schiller bikes and tenders.

On the main deck, Pegasus has a formal circular dining room, connected to the main salon by a grand staircase with a skylight. Red accents can be found throughout the yacht with plenty of texture and marble accents.

The Lloyds-classified yacht for sale is powered by twin Cat 3306 DI-T engines and a new CAT 187.5kVA, allowing her to reach speeds up to 18 knots. Pegasus has a range of 3,900 nautical miles cruising at 11.5 knots.

Pegasus is asking €29,750,000 . She will be on display at the Monaco Yacht Show from 25-28 September 2024.

DEVELOPING: Suspect in custody after school district near Atlanta put on lockdown

Video shows moments before superyacht went down in storm off Sicily

Newly released video captures a luxury superyacht being battered by a violent storm before it suddenly sank off Sicily with 22 people aboard Monday.

The grainy images obtained by NBC News and other outlets were recorded on closed-circuit television not far from where the Bayesian was anchored, about a half-mile from the port of Porticello, on Sicily’s northern coast .

The yacht's 250-foot mast, illuminated with lights and lashed by the storm, appears to bend to one side before it finally disappears and is replaced by darkness.

The speed with which a yacht built to handle the roughest seas capsized stunned maritime experts.  

“I can’t remember the last time I read about a vessel going down quickly like that, you know, completely capsizing and going down that quickly, a vessel of that nature, a yacht of that size,” said Stephen Richter of SAR Marine Consulting.

British tech tycoon Mike Lynch and five of the 22 other people who were aboard the 184-foot vessel remain unaccounted for and are believed to be trapped in the Bayesian’s hull, nearly 170 feet underwater.

Officials confirmed Monday that at least one person, the ship’s cook, had died.  

Superyachts like the Bayesian, which had been available for charters at a rate of $215,000 a week, are designed to stay afloat even as they are taking on water to give the people aboard a chance to escape, Richter said. 

“Boats of this size, they’re taking passengers on an excursion or a holiday,” Richter said. “They are not going to put them in situations where it may be dangerous or it may be uncomfortable, so this storm that popped up was obviously an anomaly. These vessels that carry passengers, they’re typically very well-maintained, very well-appointed.”

Built by Italian shipbuilder Perini Navi in 2008, the U.K.-registered Bayesian could carry 12 guests and a crew of up to 10, according to online specialist yacht sites. Its nearly 250-foot mast is the tallest aluminum sailing mast in the world, according to CharterWorld Luxury Yacht Charters. 

On Tuesday, Italian rescue workers resumed the search for Lynch and the five other passengers still missing: Lynch’s 18-year-old daughter, Hannah; Morgan Stanley International Chairman Jonathan Bloomer and his wife; and Clifford Chance lawyer Chris Morvillo and his wife.

“The fear is that the bodies got trapped inside the vessel,” Salvatore Cocina, the head of civil protection in Sicily, told Reuters .

The Bayesian is owned by a firm linked to Lynch’s wife, Angela Bacares, who was one of the 15 people rescued Monday after it capsized.

“It’s extremely rare for a boat of this size to sink,” Richter said.

What’s not rare is the kind of storm that sank it , said Simon Boxall, senior lecturer in oceanography at Britain’s University of Southampton.

“People assume the Mediterranean is this rather calm and passive place that never gets storms and always blue skies,” Boxall said. “In fact, you get some quite horrendous storms that are not uncommon at this time of year.”

The president of Italy’s meteorological society has said Monday’s violent storm may have involved a waterspout, essentially a tornado over water, or a downburst, which occurs more frequently but doesn’t involve the rotation of the air.

Luca Mercalli, president of the Italian Meteorology Society, also said recent temperatures may have been a factor. 

“The sea surface temperature around Sicily was around 30 degrees Celsius [86 Fahrenheit], which is almost 3 degrees more than normal,” Mercalli told Reuters. “This creates an enormous source of energy that contributes to these storms.”

The Mediterranean sailing vacation was designed to be a celebration for Lynch, who two months ago was acquitted by a San Francisco jury of fraud charges stemming from the 2011 sale of his software company Autonomy to Hewlett-Packard for $11 billion.

Prosecutors alleged that Lynch, dubbed “Britain’s Bill Gates,” and Autonomy’s vice president for finance, Stephen Chamberlain, had padded the firm’s finances ahead of the sale. Lynch’s lawyers argued that HP was so eager to acquire Autonomy that it failed to adequately check the books .

Lynch had taken Morvill, who was one of his defense attorneys, on the luxury trip. 

Chamberlain was not on the Bayesian.

In what appears to be a tragic coincidence, a car struck and killed Chamberlain on Saturday as he was jogging in a village about 68 miles north of London, local police said.

“Steve fought successfully to clear his good name at trial earlier this year, and his good name now lives on through his wonderful family,” Chamberlain’s lawyer, Gary Lincenberg, said in a statement .
