This wonderful sight is a rendering of Christensen Yachts , a Great Northern Pacific-based shipbuilder renowned for its big way of thinking.
Odessa’s lucky owners could plot a personal sea odyssey with a 4,300-mile A to B range and a top cruising speed of 17 knots. . Albeit she was built on the same composite hull and propulsion system design CY used on several luxury liners, it is a one-off luxury vessel. If two of these yachts were in slips side by side, say the Casino Royale and the Odessa, rest assured that neither owner would have a problem in keeping their ship together.
Net: According to the Robb Report, the original owners of Odessa’s big “sisters,” the Casino Royale and the Primadonna, each sold their yacht at a profit.
Yachts and Leisure: The Grenadines attract many savvy yachtsmen in search of the ultimate luxury sailing expedition through the Caribbean. The area, one of the six Windward Islands, has remained one of the best-kept secrets around these parts for years.

The Tobago Cays are five uninhabited islands that can be accessed only by boat, making it a private haven for full-crew or bareboat sailing charters.
This sounds like a job for a luxury-sailing yacht like Tiara, a princess of a sailing yacht by Alloy Yachts. The aft deck, fly bridge and deck are large enough for all 10 of Tiara’s fortunate guests to party heartily all night long. The ruggedness of ship built to sail and the rich décor throughout Tiara is simply irresistible. According to

January 05, 2010 | Contributor: James Rothaar Yachts and Sports Boats: For sporting yachtsmen torn between performance and luxury, this is the yacht that will float your boat! The Riva Domino 86 is a luxurious yacht that possesses the soul of the mahogany sports boats for which the boat maker is renowned. A pair of 2,400-horsepower MTU diesel engines gives the luxury watercraft a top speed of 38 knots. The Domino bridges the gap between the boat maker’s smaller day boats and its larger yachts without making a ripple. Interior space includes two twin-berth staterooms, one small head with shower, a compact crew mess, and a washer/dryer stack.
We sighted Riva’s latest launch as it was cruising through the splashy and bubbly cyber waters of Yachting Magazine. It is the duality of the Domino 86 makes the vessel so desirable.
