Yacht and shipyard owner shares success story in 'The Superyacht Owner'

The seventh issue of The Superyacht Owner, and the cover story, features owner Guido Krass, who speaks about building his own superyacht and setting up his own shipyard, Hanseatic Marine, in Australia. The 'boutique' shipyard has produced an all-aluminium 70m+ superyacht line - including 77m Smeralda now owned by the Dubai Royal Family - that has gone on to become an icon of design. Krass reflect on the demands of today’s owners and his optimistic take on the Chinese market.

Other intriguing owners in this fresh off the press May issue, invite the reader to join them on board as they embark on round the world journeys, explore hidden corners of the globe or go on to win international regattas. Gerhard Ruether, has managed all these feats. Midway through a "stop start" circumnavigation on board sailing yacht, Zefiro, The Superyacht Owner joined him in Auckland on the eve of the New Zealand Millennium Cup which she then went on to win.

Industry topics strike the heart of matters that press on the minds of those that operate in it, of direct importance to owners. Brokers are asked, how do they think the spark can be put back into a stagnant resale market? Taking up useful lessons from the sinking of superyacht Yogi, we consider how distinctions between building and maintaining to class, need to be made sharper and adhered to.

There are features on the industry’s best loved brands, including Benetti which this year celebrates an incredible 140 years in the business. The Italian builder has restyled its website and launched a new campaign to tie in with its birthday.




There is much more including what private islands and superyachts have in common, how to approach designing a custom yacht as advised by the world’s leading designers and many more interviews with pioneering and inspirational owners.
