The Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show beckons the cognoscenti of maritime luxury, and Y.CO arrives with a triumvirate of vessels that exemplify the art of superyacht excellence. From 28 October through 01 November, three extraordinary yachts will grace the water, each representing a distinct philosophy of refined seafaring and meticulous craftsmanship.
Boardwalk V stands as a masterpiece of contemporary design, her 76.5 metres of elegant proportions crafted by the esteemed Feadship shipyard in 2021. This vessel showcases a remarkable synthesis of practical capability and aesthetic refinement. Her helicopter landing pad speaks to the seamless integration of adventure with sophistication, whilst the interior styling by Amy Halffman Designs creates an atmosphere of uncompromising elegance throughout. The standout beach club represents a thoughtful approach to outdoor entertaining, providing an exceptional sanctuary for leisure and connection with the sea.
Firefly, measuring 40.05 metres, emerges as the optimised platform for those possessed of an adventurous spirit. Built by Mangusta in 2017, this nimble explorer has been meticulously enhanced with a bespoke water sports configuration that honours the vessel’s performance DNA. The addition of helicopter capability transforms Firefly into a truly versatile instrument for global exploration, merging exhilaration with convenience.
Engineering Vision Realised
Draak commands particular attention as a paradigm of collaborative ambition and technical mastery. At 92.9 metres, this Oceanco creation embarked upon a remarkable transformation overseen by Y.CO, with the rebuild programme extending through 2026. The vessel represents an extraordinary statement of engineering prowess, featuring dedicated tender operations that streamline auxiliary craft management, lifting systems of considerable power and sophistication, and a specialist diving setup that opens extraordinary possibilities for marine exploration and discovery. The vision that shapes Draak extends beyond mere specification; it represents a fundamental reimagining of what a superyacht can achieve through the convergence of architectural creativity and technical ingenuity.
Each vessel available through Y.CO tells a distinct narrative of refined maritime experience. Whether seeking the contemporary elegance of Boardwalk V, the adventurous agility of Firefly, or the ambitious engineering vision embodied in Draak, these yachts demonstrate the boundless possibilities of bespoke luxury at the highest echelons of superyacht design.
