An expensive superyacht has been anchored in Vancouver waters over the past several days. 

Owned by Brazilian billionaire Jorge Paulo Lemann, the 203-foot-long Anawa yacht is worth $100 million US dollars, with annual running costs of approximately $10 million, and is currently sitting in English Bay -- its final destination -- arriving on July 25 from Garden Bay on the Sunshine Coast. 

The massive yacht was custom-designed and built in 2020 by Damen Yachting and is one of the company's "long-range, luxury expedition" SeaXplorer class crafts. 

It can carry 12 guests and 20 crew and has a helideck and helicopter hangar that houses a Helibras 350 helicopter.

The <em>Danzante Bay</em>, a 50-metre-long Crescent 164, is currently under construction by Richmond-based Crescent Custom Yachts and the largest-ever yacht to be built in Canada.

Crescent Custom Yachts Comes Out of Hiding With Something to Prove

Top of the class..

• Writer Craig Ritchie

When we think about luxury yachts, most people quickly form a mental image of the Côte d’Azur. Or maybe the Seychelles. The Thai coast, perhaps. Not Richmond, B.C. And yet, the Vancouver suburb is very much ground zero for a growing number of yacht buyers worldwide. Not as a destination, mind you, but as the place where some of the most exciting luxury yachts being built today come to life and gain their first taste of the sea. Richmond is the home of Crescent Custom Yachts , a Canadian yacht builder that has been raising eyebrows with its designs and bold approach to making dreams a reality.

Owner Tim Charles has an extra bounce in his step these days as Crescent’s latest project—a 50-metre-long Crescent 164—begins to take shape in the shipyard. “No one here has done anything like this before,” he says. “It’s the biggest yacht anyone has built in Canada.”

It’s no exaggeration to say that the vessel represents a major milestone for Crescent, the boutique yacht builder established by Charles’ grandfather Jack. Crafted with an eye to include every imaginable luxury, the vessel—with exteriors designed by Gregory C. Marshall and interior by H2 Yacht Design—is being built on a composite hull for an American entrepreneur. When it finally launches in late 2021 or early 2022, the yacht will be christened  Danzante Bay  in a nod to the owner’s resort in Mexico. In many respects,  Danzante Bay  is both a climax for Crescent Custom Yachts and, at the same time, only the beginning of its story.

Crescent Custom Yachts originally opened its doors in the 1980s as Crescent Beach Boatbuilders, named for its location on Boundary Bay between Vancouver and the U.S. border. A successful businessman in the trucking industry, Jack Charles began producing yachts as a sideline after purchasing a custom yacht of his own. Initially sourcing hulls from American shipyards and completing the work on a custom basis, Crescent soon outgrew its original production space and moved to a state-of-the-art shipyard in Richmond, rebranding itself as Crescent Custom Yachts to better reflect the unique, high-end products it created.

Tim Charles joined the family business with the unglamorous responsibility of pushing a broom while still attending business school. Shortly after he graduated, financial pressures from a soft market led the family to close the business in 2004. “I really wanted to be in the yacht business,” Charles says, “so I started, specializing in yacht refits and transformational overhauls. I hired many of the former Crescent employees, and within a short period of time, I began leasing service bays from the new owner of the building that Crescent had formerly occupied.”

With the benefit of Charles’ business acumen, his new company Platinum Marine soon grew to more than 100 employees. As Charles established himself in the marine industry, the assets of Crescent Custom Yachts were sold to a Florida-based investment group whose intent was to buy up some additional marine businesses and resume building yachts under the Crescent nameplate, but with the arrival of the global recession, the venture went nowhere. In 2015, Charles bought back the Crescent brand and intellectual property. Today, Crescent Custom Yachts focuses on building new yachts, and Platinum Marine on the refit business.

“I saw an opportunity to bring Crescent Custom Yachts back to life by utilizing the capabilities of our exceptional craftsmen,” Charles explains. “Prospective yacht buyers come to see Crescent, and they’re not walking into a start-up operation, they’re meeting with an experienced company that has established capabilities and a history of managing major projects.”

Crescent 117 features a contemporary aesthetic and can accommodate up to 10 people in addition to four crew.

It also allows the company to leverage existing relationships with major yacht brokers, a key consideration in an industry where word-of-mouth endorsement remains critically important. “We were able to launch our first yacht, a Crescent 145, in a comparatively short time,” Charles says, first showing it at the 2016 Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show.

That first Crescent 145—a 44-metre-long custom fibreglass yacht—made a major splash, in no small part due to the celebrity appeal of being designed by Jonathan Quinn Barnett and built on a hull design by Jack Sarin, two legendary names in the luxury yacht community. But more than that, the yacht raised the bar on fit, finish, and attention to detail.

“Prospective yacht buyers come to see Crescent, and they’re not walking into a start-up operation, they’re meeting with an experienced company that has established capabilities and a history of managing major projects.” —Tim Charles

It also helped to have an impeccable sense of timing. When Charles reacquired Crescent Custom Yachts, the U.S. economy was just beginning to climb back from recession. A completed 145 to show the world and a particularly attractive exchange rate between the Canadian and U.S. dollars meant that yacht buyers on both sides of the border found Crescent’s value proposition too good to resist. After all, when you’re talking about boats that sell for prices well north of $10 million U.S., the effect of a 75-cent Canadian dollar can’t be overstated. “We can offer our U.S. customers unbeatable value, while the exchange rate also encourages our domestic customers to buy Canadian and avoid the currency premium they would face otherwise,” Charles explains. “There is no down side to it.”

The success of the Crescent 145 launch did more than just re-establish Crescent Custom Yachts as a builder to watch, it led to firm orders for boats. First came a 33-metre Crescent 110, built with an unusual all-aluminum construction, followed by a 35-metre Crescent 117. Then came the Crescent 164 currently under construction, due to be followed by a Crescent 138 once there is space in the shipyard for work to begin. “The limiting factor for us right now is the capacity of our shipyard,” Charles says. “Depending on the scope and complexity of the boat, it could take two years or more to complete a large yacht.”

Compounding the building-space challenge is the added curveball represented by COVID-19, which has made it more difficult to show the yachts and the facility to prospective buyers. “Probably 75 per cent of our customers are located in the U.S.,” Charles notes. “Normally, they could just fly up for the day, take a tour, sea-trial a boat, and make a decision. But that’s just not been possible.”

Even so, through the summer of 2020, sales of all boats went through the roof. Superyachts were no different. “We saw a lot of people looking to move up in the size and scale of their yacht,” Charles observes. “Or to perform upgrades to the one they already have, with a view to spending more time aboard.”

Crescent’s success in a highly competitive industry speaks to a happy combination of good fortune and good management. But a lot of factors outside of the company have also contributed to British Columbia’s ascent as a global yachting hub. One of the biggest was the opening of the Victoria International Marina in 2019. Years in planning and development, Victoria’s $42-million, 28-slip eco-friendly superyacht marina happened to finally begin construction just as Crescent Custom Yachts began stepping out in the world. Global news coverage of the construction of the new world-class marina in one of the most beautiful yacht-cruising regions on Earth couldn’t help but focus even closer attention on Crescent.

Crescent-145 pre-launch.

“Victoria Harbour is a natural starting and ending point for yachters exploring the beauty of the Gulf Islands and north to Alaska,” says Victoria International Marina CEO Craig Norris. “The Pacific Northwest is a tremendously beautiful yachting paradise, with more than 25,000 kilometres of coastline to explore between Victoria and Alaska. The marina is a critical step toward putting the region on the global yachting map.”

In line with its long-term goal of developing Canada’s Pacific coast as a superyacht cruising route, the Victoria International Marina had been scheduled to host the Pacific Superyacht Forum in June 2020, an event that has now been rescheduled for later this year in response to the pandemic. “That will be a major boon for us and the entire region,” Norris says. The event will also serve as an official launch pad for the newly created Canadian Superyacht Association, which aims, in partnership with its American counterpart, to develop luxury yacht cruising on the West Coast.

It’s all music to Tim Charles’ ears. From zero new builds in over 10 years to multiple new yachts on the go at once, including the largest luxury yacht ever to be built in Canada, Crescent Custom Yachts today finds itself with the wind solidly at its back.

ATTESSA IV Yacht Launch in Canada – The Largest Ever in North America

The Launch of Yacht Attessa IV – The Biggest in North American History:

As motor yacht ATTESSA IV nears completion she is to be launched in Canada by Washington Yachting Group (WYG) on the 5th of December 2010, or soon after, and officially unveiled in Vancouver.  When launched, the Attessa IV yacht will move into the world’s top 25 private superyachts by length, measuring 330 ft (or around 100.6 metres). She is now the largest superyacht to be (re) launched in North America, (*see below) being larger than Cakewalk. A very impressive ship, Attessa IV is also the 23rd longest private yacht in the world.

The refit and reconstruction of superyacht Attessa IV , now a sleek and elegant new yacht, is one of the most impressive refits and launches ever in the world and is a very proud moment for Canada and for all of those involved, including the team at WYG, the shipyard, the yacht designer Glade Johnson Design and team, the captain, and the yacht’s owner.

The refurbishment and rebuild has been a very large project and it has taken over 3 1/2 years to complete. There has been an extensive reconstruction and rebuilding involved, from the bottom up – a reconstruction of both her interior and exterior design, style and functionality. Essentially, the yacht is now is a new yacht, and in ‘as new’ condition. She is the first superyacht in the world to benefit from AkzoNobel core technology, an innovative new approach to applying a metallic finish.

Superyacht Attessa after the yacht's relaunch

The interior renovations has been comprehensive and is believed to have included the creation of a spa on the lower deck, as well as a new top deck which showcases a large Spa Pool pool and a wonderful hanging glass sculpture by artist Dale Chihuly. The superyacht Attessa IV also has a helipad on the her upper aft deck and forepeak (see the rendering yacht design above). The massive 5 level yacht displays curvaceous exterior lines, a deep blue hull, and an impressive exterior deck space for entertaining.

The original motor yacht was built at Hayashikane Zosen Kk in 1999 and called Evergreen and she was then purchased by the new owner back in 2007. Now, after a complete rebuild, the ATTESSA IV yacht is to be re launched in 2010 as an almost completely new motor yacht and measuring almost 30 feet longer.  She is scheduled to be launched in Vancouver around the date the 5th of December 2010 and has experienced some delays due to the scale of the undertaking and recent ice and snow.

Superyacht Attessa IV - The After Rendering

History of Yacht Attessa IV:

This luxury yacht was originally launched in 1999 as Evergreen, built for the chairman of the Taiwan-based Evergreen Corporation, at the company’s shipyard in Nagasaki, Japan. The exterior styling of Evergreen was designed by Diana Yacht Design with interior styling by Felix Buytendijk.

Purchased and renamed in 2007 by an American businessman yacht owner, M/Y Attessa IV entered into a period of rebuild in by Washington Yachting Group.  Glade Johnson Design is the company which was contracted responsible to create the boat’s new interior and exterior styling.

Awlgrip was involved in the refit and Yacht Attessa IV is the first superyacht in the world to benefit from AkzoNobel core technology. This a technology which is new in the Yacht and Aerospace arenas because the harsh sea and sky operating environment. The rebuild involved an innovative new approach to applying a metallic finish to a large areas on the yacht.

One of the major jobs undertaken for the extensive refit was the re-styling of the exterior superstructure. This was achieved by building on numerous sections to the vessel superstructure and then attaching many shaped composite panels. Both panels and extensions have been  faired (moulded and shaped by hand) using around gallons 40,000 litres (10,000 gallons) of Awlfair, an Awlgrip product. The project also incorporated Hullgard paint primers which are specially formulated to allow for over coating with subsequent primers or fillers without the need for labour intensive sanding, thereby reducing workload.

Captain Ted McCumber, of the Washington Yachting Group, is the Project Manager. Launched, superyacht Attessa IV enters a new chapter in her history and is easily capable of cruising the world’s oceans including the Pacific, America, the Mediterranean and Caribbean. She is a private yacht and has no plans, at present, to be available for yacht charters.

CharterWorld will bring you the latest news on the Attessa IV yacht and further images of her exterior and interior if they become public.

Prices start from around $11 million, with sizes ranging from 1,600 to 6,500 square feet -- the largest condo takes up most of the top deck.

Somnio, which means "to dream '' in Latin, was designed by Winch Design and Tillberg Design of Sweden, and will be built by Norwegian ship designer and builder VARD.

The interior renderings were devised by Winch Design, Tillberg Design of Sweden along with Luttenberger Design.

Those who snap up a condo on "the most exclusive address in the world" will get to work with one of the design teams for up to three months in order to "decide the room configurations and select the materials, furniture, lighting and artwork."

EXCLUSIVE ADDRESS

A gym, a library, inside and outside dining spaces, "distinct" dressing areas and a "vast living room space with 270-degree forward views" are among the options available, although the layout is to be based on the buyer's preferences.

The identity of the owners will be kept secret, but all residents will have access to full concierge services "for both onboard and land-based needs."

"As the only residential superyacht in the world, we are delighted to work with designers that complement our exacting standards," Captain Erik Bredhe, co-founder of Somnio, said in a statement.

"Our owners will experience only the best, as is befitting of a yacht of this nature."

SUSTAINABILITY FOCUS

According to its designers, sustainability will be a key focus for Somnio, which is to be constructed with the "latest clean engine technology" along with materials and products to "create environmentally responsible interior design with a reduced impact" where possible.

Among the shared on board amenities onboard available include a 10,000-bottle capacity wine cellar and tasting room along with a lounge located in the ship's bow, a spa, a movie theater, restaurants and a beach club.

Residents will be charged an annual fee to cover expenses like maintenance and repairs, along with fuel and food.

A spokesperson for the project tells CNN Travel that Somnio has attracted exceptional interest since it was unveiled earlier this year, with some apartments already sold.

At present, The World, which measures 643 feet, is the largest private residential yacht on the globe, with a combination of studios as well as one to three-bedroom apartments on board.

Christopher friesen, beth and dave o'connor - bellingham, w.a. | beneteau 36.7 owners.

Ralf and Helga Schmidtke | Fleming 65 Owners

Having decided after 30 years of sailing to change to power, the wide choice of brands made the selection task a daunting one. We wanted the most reliable, comfortable, safest, practical and best thought out boat that we could find. Attention to detail and quality was paramount, as was after purchase servicing.

Expensive tastes: Business owners helping put wind in B.C.’s luxury boat sales

• Share by Email
• Share on Facebook
• Share on LinkedIn
• Share via Text Message

Part of BIV’s What big money buys series: Wealthy Vancouverites are lavishing untold amounts of money on big-ticket indulgences, driving a bonanza for the region’s dealers in luxury furnishings, vehicles, yachts and other top-tier toys.

Given Vancouver’s location on the Pacific Ocean, it’s hardly surprising that one of the top-selling toys for Vancouver’s wealthiest residents is a yacht or high-end fishing boat.

While the number of Vancouverites who own superyachts, like billionaire Jim Pattison, appears to be relatively low, there is such a big demand for smaller pleasure craft in the 40-to-60-foot range in B.C. that Tim Charles, principal owner of Platinum Marine, recently launched a new line – Tactical Custom Boats – for that market.

Luxury models are driving yacht and fishing boat sales in B.C.

A new marina in Victoria highlights the growing demand for superyacht moorage in B.C. The 28-slip Victoria International Marina, which opened in May, can accommodate up to 12 superyachts in the 100-to-120-foot range, and one up to 175 feet in length. The first 40-foot yacht being built at Platinum’s shipyard on Mitchell Island will cost $1.5 million and comes with a mini submarine and drone.

“We have a 43-inch-screen television that pops down,” Charles said. “You can sit at the screen and you can explore hundreds of feet underwater. It has a grabber arm on it so you can see and touch and pick up things underwater.”

Tactical is also building a 77-foot US$6.5 million yacht.

“It is military and navy-grade aluminum hull construction,” Charles said of the Tactical series. “So it is a very heavy-duty boat, but it is completely done with yacht finishes.”

Platinum also owns Crescent Custom Yachts, which builds superyachts ranging in size from 100 to 150 feet and with prices that range from US$14 million to US$24 million. Crescent’s customers are almost exclusively international – mostly American – but Charles expects that nearly all buyers for the new Tactical yachts will be from B.C.

“It’s something the market’s been asking for,” Charles said. “I would say 95% of all of our customers are business owners. The amount of business that’s done on people’s yachts and boats is just tremendous. It’s a business sales tool for many people.”

Another growing demand in the Vancouver market is for luxury fishing boats, said Bob Pappajohn, president of M&P Mercury Sales, which sells both yachts and fishing boats.

“The luxury fishing boat segment has been just incredibly strong,” Pappajohn said. “We are seeing a trend toward higher luxury. One of the biggest trends right now that’s really fuelling this is we’re getting people buying who haven’t owned a bunch of boats before and are really new to it.”

One of the more popular models is a 42-foot Boston Whaler fishing boat that sells for $1.8 million.

Pappajohn said yacht and fishing boat sales have been very healthy in the last few years in Vancouver.

“We’ll sell a half a dozen boats a year,” he said. “Back in 2009-10, it was amazing if you sold one.”

Not only is the number of high-net-worth individuals in Vancouver rising, it’s also becoming easier to pilot a yacht or fishing boat, Pappajohn said, thanks to technology like joystick steering that makes docking a modern boat a cinch.

“The biggest reason for the increase in sales is that it’s more accessible, it’s easier to do, and, yes, there’s more wealth,” Pappajohn said. “Even people spending a lot of money for a day boat to go fishing, they want the high-end one.”

As for the bigger, more luxurious yachts – superyachts or megayachts – Vancouver sees its fair share of them, although many are owned by wealthy Americans. The most spectacular yacht to grace local waters might be the Attessa IV, which can sometimes be seen in Coal Harbour.

It’s hard to miss, and not just because of its size  (332 feet). The yacht comes with a small helicopter. It also features a swimming pool, a 12-seat theatre and four guest rooms.

The Attessa IV is owned by Dennis Washingtion, the American billionaire whose Washington Companies is the largest shareholder of Seaspan Corp.  (NYSE:SSW), the world’s biggest independent charter owner and manager of container ships. According to Forbes, the Attessa IV is valued at $300 million.

Pattison’s 150-foot Nova Spirit yacht is valued at $25 million, according to SuperYacht Fan. According to MSN, it costs $72,000 just to fuel the yacht, which has a nine-person crew.

Estimating how many superyachts are owned by British Columbians is difficult, partly because some of them might be registered outside of Canada. But Craig E. Norris, CEO of Victoria International Marina, estimates that anywhere from 50 to 100 yachts in the 65-foot-and-up range are owned by British Columbians.

The largest yachts to have ever attended the Monaco Yacht Show

The Monaco Yacht Show is the most highly anticipated event of the Mediterranean season. But this year has generated even more excitement than usual, with a series of impressive milestones reached. The biggest superyacht in the show's history – the 122-metre Kismet – will be in attendance, alongside the largest number of 100-metre-plus yachts overall with the arrival of the 111.9-metre Renaissance and 105.3-metre H3 .

To honour this record-breaking edition, BOAT looks back at the Monaco Yacht Show's largest attendees...

Which show?

This year's Monaco Yacht Show will be a record-breaker with Lürssen 's mighty Kismet in attendance. An immense volume of 4,918GT houses a mosaic-line pool with a 40-tonne capacity, two spa pools, a certified helipad, fireplaces inside and out, a full-service spa, a lift and a gym. To say nothing of her intricate paint and marble detailing or the stainless-steel jaguar bow figure. It's no wonder Pascale Reymond, co-founder of Reymond Langton studio, has billed her a "cathedral of design". 

Kismet also represents a first for the German shipyard with her underwater lounge and cinema, featuring extra-large windows (1.1 metres by 2.8 metres) that dip under the waterline. She follows a 95.2-metre World Superyacht Awards winner, now known as Whisper .

Another Lürssen, Ahpo was named after a term of endearment meaning grandmother. And her design certainly centres around the family, including two identical bedrooms with different colour schemes, designed for the original owner's twin girls. Wellness is another major focus, with a nature-themed spa, massage room, beauty salon and private owner's gym outfitted in red-lacquer furniture and custom dumbbells. 

Other highlights include a mosaic bathroom modelled after the work of Gustav Klimt, a 12-seat cinema and an aft deck winter garden. There are quarters for up to 53 crew, including two helicopter pilots. 

Renaissance 

Renaissance was built by Spanish yard Freire and created by the legendary Jon Bannenberg , though for 40 years the design never left the drawing board. The owners turned to his son at Bannenberg & Rowell Design when it came time to build it and provided a long list of non-negotiables, including a large gym, high ceilings, lots of places to eat and a very large beach club. The brief was certainly fulfilled with a double-height formal dining room, a sushi bar and a deck entirely dedicated to wellness, including the aforementioned gym, a sauna, a ballet bar and a dedicated hair and beauty salon.

Accommodation is across 19 cabins, including an owner's deck with a 60-square-metre suite, a media room and a lounge with bar and dining. A private terrace with sunloungers and a Jacuzzi for six can be found forward.

Alaiya (then Tis ) was styled inside and out by British studio  Winch Design  and was commissioned by a long-time (read: seven year) charter client of Moran Yacht & Ship . The superyacht houses two helicopter pads, a 12-metre swimming pool, a private owner's deck and a "resort-inspired" spa across her 4,699GT interiors. Her tender garage can also accommodate two 13-metre tenders and a variety of water toys. 

Accommodation is for 18 guests across nine cabins, with further quarters for 38 crew. Alaiya was sold following her appearance at the show and then underwent an extensive, seven-month refit with Blohm & Voss .

Kaos (then Jubilee ) is one of the most recognisable yachts on the water with a long, lean, metallic blue exterior by Igor Lobanov . The Oceanco looks surprisingly lithe for her immense size, attributed to the clever troupe l'oil effect design that gives the appearance of additional decks and so conceals her actual height. Interior details have been kept largely under wraps but at the time of her delivery, it was said that Kaos had the most marble and stone outfitted within the interior than any other superyacht. 

The yacht is also known for her swimming pool, positioned on the largest of the four decks and peering into an aquarium in the beach club below. She was one of the most travelled superyachts of 2023 thanks to a mammoth transatlantic passage that began in St Barths for the New Year's celebrations and ended in the River Thames, London.

A Benetti creation, IJE is the flagship of the Italian shipyard's fleet and a full-custom project to boot. British studio RWD is responsible for the exterior and interior design, which is meant to capture "the soul of an explorer" in a polished superyacht package. 

As a result, IJE was kitted out with three large tenders, eight Jet Skis, comfortable guest and crew cabins for long stints in remote areas, as well as an owner's deck, a nightclub, a cinema, a gym and a beach club. She is also reportedly equipped with the largest single-point lift crane installed on a yacht. The superyacht edges out previous flagships Luminosity and Lana by only a few centimetres.

Amadea took just 31 months to complete from the first steel cutting, which was quite the feat for a vessel of her size. Exterior design is by Espen Øino International , while interiors were styled by Francois Zuretti . Her highlights include a 4D cinema with popcorn machine, a hand-painted Pleyel piano and a spa pool and sunpad set up that can convert into a live stage with built-in speakers, stage lights and laser beams. The owner’s cabin also has a private terrace complete with a mosaic-lined pool.

The superyacht was arrested in May 2022 after her UBO (ultimate beneficiary owner) was allegedly sanctioned following the conflict between Russia and Ukraine.

She may not have the (literal) edge over Kismet this year, but H3 is a record-breaker in her own right as the current world's most expensive yacht for sale . The superyacht is asking an eye-watering €295,000,000 with Edmiston and earns the bill, outfitted with a piano previously owned by Elton John – the one on which he wrote the album Songs from the West Coast – a large pool with a waterfall feature, a huge spa and wellness area with a nail salon and a climate-controlled winter garden in the owner's suite. 

Her three-year rebuild, beginning in 2020, won her international acclaim and a World Superyacht Award . Virtually nothing was left from her previous life as Indian Empress except the hull, which had also been extended a further 10 metres. BOAT International was provided an exclusive look inside her rebuild last year.
