Zephyr is the result of a tremendous design, built to exacting European standards, then methodically refined over 15 years by an experienced shipwright. There is little if anything left to improve upon in this boat. For the sailor who appreciates an easily driven and timeless hull shape, heavy duty construction and meticulous attention to detail, Zephyr stands apart.

The Ohlson 38 was designed by Einer Ohlson. Many of the 38s were built or finished in Ohlson’s home country of Sweden, while others like  Zephyr were built and finished at Tyler Yachts in England. When the design was first built in the late 1960s, the imperative was still to create a relatively narrow, easily driven hull that went through the water withe ease. While the rudder and keel are separated, the keel is long enough to provide excellent tracking and directional stability.

The cockpit is secure and comfortable, with storage in lockers and a large lazarette. The side decks are wide with excellent handholds all the way forward. It’s an easy deck to move around on, particularly in a bouncing sea.

Below decks, the interior is beautifully finished, particularly where the owner has rebuilt it. The forepeak, for instance, was gutted and rebuilt and is now a luxurious owner’s cabin. The shower stall to starboard was replaced by a counter and sink. The spaces, and storage, are clearly designed to work at sea.

The original Tyler construction is impressive, with substantial stringers running along the hull sides. Combined with the vinylester solid fiberglass layup of both the hull and decks, this makes the Ohlson 38 is an amazingly strong boat. The entire deck and hull have been thoroughly insulated.

Zephyr ’s owner has had a longstanding relationship with various Ohlson designs, racing and cruising them, dating back to the wooden 35-footers. Zephyr stands as both an outstanding example of craftsmanship and a vision of what a classic design can be. There isn’t a harbor in the world where  Zephyr  wouldn’t garner attention.

• New teak seats and floor in cockpit (2020)
• New electrical panels (2020)
• Current electronics (2018)
• Engine Mounts, transmission and PSS seal replaced (2020)
• New Lewmar Ocean hatches (2018)

Interior Accommodations

Zephy r’s interior is inviting and cozy, with traditional carpentry defining the space. Starting forward is a comfortable V-berth with a fitted, spring mattress. The head is to port and a vanity to starboard, with plenty of storage and room to move around. The main cabin features a settee to starboard and dinette to port, which can extend to accommodate guests at the dinner table or be lowered to create a double berth. Storage is accessible and abundant. The navigation station is to starboard at the base of the companionway with a quarterberth extending aft. The galley is to port.

Zephyr, el lujoso superyate de más de 115 metros de eslora con dos piscinas y helicóptero

El fabricante alemán dörries yachts y el estudio británico h2 yacht design presentarán esta embarcación en el próximo salón náutico de mónaco..

Mientras el calor aprieta, muchos sueñan con la libertad de viajar entre playas de aguas turquesas y disponer de todos los lujos asociados a los yates. Estas embarcaciones que cada verano se pueden ver en aguas de España tienen una cita anual ineludible: el Monaco Yacht Show, que este año se celebrará entre el 25 y el 28 de septiembre. Por eso, los principales diseñadores y fabricantes del mundo ultiman los detalles para sus presentaciones, con algunos de los diseños más ambiciosos de la industria naval como Kismet, el lujoso superyate de 122 metros de eslora que se alquila en el Mediterráneo desde 3 millones a la semana .

El fabricante alemán Dörries Yachts y el estudio británico H2 Yacht Design aspiran a centrar todas las miradas en las infografías y la maqueta a escala de Zephyr, un superyate que "representa un equilibrio armonioso de creatividad audaz y estilo perdurable , lo que lo convierte en una pieza destacada en cualquier época".

Son palabras de Henning Dörries, CEO de la empresa constructora, recogidas por Robb Report que definen el espíritu de este yate con 115,2 metros de eslora y un clásico color blanco como protagonista del exterior. Dispone de cuatro cubiertas que proporcionan amplios espacios abiertos tanto en la proa como en la popa.

La piscina de la cubierta principal del yate Zephyr Dörries Yachts Omicrono

"El diseño final no sólo es impresionante, sino que también posee un atractivo atemporal con superficies modernas y detalles meticulosos", sostiene Jonny Horsfield, propietario de H2. "Con amplias cubiertas acristaladas y espaciosas cubiertas exteriores, Zephyr personifica las preferencias contemporáneas de la exigente clientela actual".

Todavía no se conocen detalles concretos sobre el tonelaje bruto, la propulsión o la distribución del espacio interior, pero por las imágenes compartidas por los diseñadores se pueden adivinar muchos elementos importantes. Empezando por la cubierta superior, donde los atractivos más evidentes son la piscina de proa y el salón circular de popa.

En las cubiertas intermedias cuentan con amplios comedores al aire libre con capacidad para hasta 12 comensales , además de un jacuzzi y un helipuerto en proa para hacer más cómoda la llegada y salida de los invitados o el propietario. 

La piscina de la cubierta principal es de lo más reseñable de este diseño atemporal, rodeada de tumbonas y con amplias vistas al mar. Junto a ella, la plataforma de baño ofrece acceso directo al agua y al garaje con los juguetes acuáticos habituales, desde pequeñas embarcaciones hasta motos de agua. De momento se desconoce su precio, pero el yate está a la venta y los interesados podrán recabar más información en Mónaco a partir del 25 de septiembre.

A Fleet of Candela’s Electric Foiling Yachts Is Rolling Out to the Red Sea in 2025

Announced in June 2022 and launched in November 2023, the P-12 is the fourth model in Candela’s fleet, following the C-7 , C-8 , and P-8 Voyager that debuted in 2020, 2021, and 2022, respectively. (The yard also launched a C-8 Polestar Edition in July.) The zero-emission 39-footer “flies” above the waves using computer-guided hydrofoils that are adjusted 100 times per second to ensure smoothness and stability. Candela says the P-12 uses 80 percent less energy than conventional shuttle ships and will emit 97.5 percent less CO2 during its lifetime than a traditional diesel-powered vessel of the same size.

Equipped with two of Candela’s electric C-POD motors and four 63 kWh batteries, the P-12 has a top speed of 30 knots and a range of 40 nautical miles at a cruising speed of 25 knots. The yacht also creates a minimal wake and is well-suited to coastal cruising. The fleet serving the Red Sea will be able to carry 30 passengers around the northwestern shores of Saudi Arabia.

“We’re extremely proud to provide a vessel system designed with both passengers and the environment in mind,” Hasselskog adds.” Short waiting times, quick connections, and a very enjoyable experience without taxing the environment with wakes, emissions, and noise will revolutionize how we travel on water.”

The P-12 will debut as part of Stockholm’s public transport system this fall. The NEOM fleet will then be delivered in 2025 and early 2026.

Zephyr is a luxury superyacht launched by the titanic American shipyard Ocean Alexander in 2018. This vessel is 102 feet long and filled to the brim with every amenity you could ever want in a Caribbean charter. You’ll adore all the inclusive special touches like underwater lights that are designed to make your getaway truly magical.

Evan K Marshall is a designer based in London who’s worked on a long list of upscale residences and luxury yachts. Starting out in 1993, he established his EKM Ltd brand as one of the top firms in the industry. He furnishes and decorates the interiors and exteriors of some of the world’s best yachts.

Marshall was the mastermind behind Zephy’s entire concept. You’ll notice his trademark modern touch as soon as you step onboard. She has glass accents that dazzle throughout. Look up and you’ll gaze at special cutouts on the ceiling light fixtures. The neutral toned upholstery also features light color patterns that give personality to each room.

As you walk from one living space to the next be sure to check out the gigantic windows. Strategically placed overhead and on the walls, they give tons of natural light throughout the yacht. Speaking of rooms, you’ll have five cabins in all. There’s a master suite, a VIP suite, a double cabin, a twin cabin, and one convertible cabin. Ten guests can travel with your group as well as four crew members.

The master suite is located on the main deck. It’s especially beautiful and features 180 degree views through massive picture windows. You’ll enjoy a king bed and a U-shaped sofa. There’s even a dedicated office space just in case you’re allowed to work from home. A separate dressing room and en suite bathroom complete the works.

Zephyr was based on the revered 100 Skylounge model by Ocean Alexander. She’s larger than most of the other family charters in her class and her size can be an advantage. Zephyr can be customized in unique ways. It all depends on your itinerary and interests.

This brand has a few different series in its fleet. Each one is pretty impressive in its own right, but Zephyr stands out among them all. At a little over 31 meters long, this motor yacht is elegant and spacious. Her multiple decks make Zephyr the perfect charter for large families or groups of friends who love to entertain or just hang out.

Amenities & Recreation

There’s so much to see and do on Zephyr that you might have to book a second charter just to take it all in. As you dine under the stars, be sure to take a look at the underwater lights. This special touch adds ambience to any experience. There’s also a barbecue grill, a swimming platform, and lots of sunpads available for soaking in the views. Onboard Wi-Fi and satellite television ensure you’re always connected to home no matter how far you travel.

When you’re ready, check out your surroundings. There’s a fleet of water toys, all ready for a day or two of adventure. You’ll have a paddleboard, wakeboard and kayak to enjoy. In the other corner are a water ski and sea scooter. If you’re up to it, there’s gear for fishing or snorkeling.

Zephyr is ready for summer and winter bookings. Whether blasting full throttle along the waves or swaying in a gentle breeze like her namesake, she cruises around the Caribbean all year.

Cabin Configuration

The onboard Jet Ski serves as your personal watercraft any time you want to explore the dazzling water from a thrilling, up close point of view.

To enhance your yachting experience Zephyr has the following amenities and entertainment options available onboard.

Best Beaches in Southern Lake Tahoe

Last Updated on August 22, 2024 by Boatsetter Team

Nestled in the Sierra Nevada mountains, South Lake Tahoe is a haven for beach lovers and boating enthusiasts alike. The quiet beaches on the western shores and the views of the granite cliffs of Emerald Beach, South of Lake Tahoe, offers a unique beachscape. Whether you’re looking to drop anchor in a secluded cove or cruise along the shoreline, South Lake Tahoe ‘s beaches provide the perfect launching point for your boating excursions. Let’s dive into some of the top beaches that make this destination a boater’s dream.

Pope Beach stretches for nearly a mile along Lake Tahoe’s southern shore, offering ample space for beachgoers and boaters alike. The shallow waters near the shore make it ideal for paddling, while the deeper areas beckon to motorboats and sailboats. From your vessel, soak in the panoramic views of Mount Tallac and the surrounding Sierra Nevada peaks. The beach’s western end provides a quieter experience, perfect for anchoring and enjoying a peaceful picnic on your boat.

The Z800 Eco marks the beginning of a more sustainable maritime tradition. Its design prepares for the green transition by moving from the use of combustion engines to hybrid or electric motors and using low-impact materials. The aim is to reduce its carbon footprint and help fight climate change.

A boat’s lifetime is three times longer than that of a vehicle, and so it is essential to manage energy and new technologies in a smart way.

The Classic Series stands out for its nostalgia-evoking design, reminiscent of the wooden Riva motorboats or the Paltré de Calella de Palafrugell vessels (Baix Empordà).

The Empordà shows us the history of those years when shipyard culture was very much alive. At Zephyr Boats, we have taken this message, interpreted it, and adapted it to a more modern, comfortable, and spacious design in order to enjoy a more fulfilling at-sea experience. Needless to say, the Z800 is also a boat for following the coastline, very suitable for the Empordà coast, which is full of coves, hideouts, and hidden caves.

Cruise port schedule, live map, terminals, news.

Region Asia

Local Time 2024-08-26 04:21

Vladivostok is a port city located in Russia (northeastern Asia), and on Golden Horn Bay (Sea of Japan). The city covers a total area of approx 331 km2 (128 mi2) and has population around 0,6 million.

The port city is the terminus of Russia's largest Pacific railway system (Trans-Siberian Railroad) and also the main naval base of Russia's Pacific fleet. The harbor is being kept open by icebreakers during winter months and serves as base for whaling and fishing vessels. Far Eastern State University is also here. The city is a major center of scientific research.

After the port city is named the 2015-built icebreaker Vladivostok .

The town was founded in 1860 as a military outpost and grew rapidly after 1903 when the Trans-Siberian railway was completed. During 1918-1922, Vladivostok was occupied by Japanese and Allied forces.

Port Vladivostok is ice-free the whole year-round. In 2002, the port had a foreign shipping trade turnover worth USD 275 million. In 2015, a special economic zone was established within the free port.

The city's main industries/employers are the Russian naval base, cargo shipping, commercial fishing. Fishing accounts for about 4/5 of the commercial production. A major source of revenue is the Japanese cars import.

In 2012, the city hosted the 24th Summit of APEC (Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation) forum on Russky Island. In preparation for the event, the city's infrastructure was improved and two giant cable-stayed bridges were built - Zolotoy Rog Bridge (over Golden Horn Bay, city center) and Russky Bridge (connecting with Russky Island).

The 4-lane Russky Bridge (across Eastern Bosphorus strait) is the world's longest cable-stayed bridge ever constructed -(length 3,1 km / 10,200 ft). Its longest span is 1,1 km (3622 ft). The bridge's clearance above is 70 m (230 ft). The construction cost around USD 1,1 billion.

In August 2016, the Chinese ship Chinese Taishan (former Costa Voyager) made a maiden port call. Liner's operator (Bohai Cruises) soon announced the company's decision to include Vladivostok in its regularly scheduled roundtrip itineraries.

On July 31, 2017, the Peace Boat-chartered cruise ship Ocean Dream made a maiden port call in Vladivostok, with around 1200 tourists from Japan and South Korea. The voyage departed Port Kobe (Japan) on July 27th and visited Yeosu (Korea) , Vladivostok, Hakodate (Japan) , Sakaiminato-Matsue (Japan) and Busan (Korea) .

In 2017, cruise ships managed by Costa Asia ( Carnival Corporation 's subsidiary) visited Port Vladivostok 6 times. The first vessel ( Costa Victoria - max capacity 2314 passengers) docked here in May 2016. In 2017, the cruise port handled 13 ship calls. In 2016, their number was 6.

In 2018, the area near the cruise berth was dredged to allow docking of bigger vessels. On February 26 was opened port's season 2018 with Amadea ( Phoenix Reisen ) carrying over 500 passengers. Among 2018's highlights were the maiden calls by the large liners MSC Splendida (3900 pax), Costa Serena (3600 pax) and Costa Fortuna (3250 pax). On May 12, 2018, Costa Serena became the ever-largest cruise ship docking in Vladivostok. The liner carried over 3000 passengers and crew. It arrived from South Korea (roundtrip Busan itinerary) being chartered by Lotte Tours. Tourists were greeted with a live performance by Far Eastern State Technical Fisheries University students (drummers, singers, dancers). The seaport and Vladivostok tour operators arranged a total of 79 buses each with a Korean-speaking tour guide.

In 2019 (March through October) were booked for berthing a total of 16 ships, among which the RCI-Royal Caribbean 's Quantum and Spectrum . Other large-sized liners were Costa Serena (5 times), Costa neoRomantica (3 times), Diamond Princess , Holland America 's Maasdam and Westerdam , Ocean Dream .

Season 2019 started on March 20 with MS Albatros (Phoenix Reisen), with estimated nearly 30,000 cruise passengers (plus ~70,000 ferry passengers) to be handled at Vladivostok Sea Terminal. In 2019, Vladivostok also restarted its homeport operations with locals and tourists able to book cruises leaving from Vladivostok (mainly to ports in Korea and Japan) and fly-cruise deals (via air/sea programs). There are plans for establishing a local (Russian) cruise line to operate itineraries to other Russian Far East destinations.

On Sept 9, 2019, Spectrum OTS became the ever-largest passenger ship to visit a Russian Federation port. The vessel docked in Vladivostok and was boarded by 200+ Russian VIP guests. Next is listed the 8-day "Russia and Japan Cruise" itinerary roundtrip from China.

Via Vladivostok, the Russian cargo shipping company FESCO serves three express routes connecting Russia with South Korea, China and Japan - Busan to Moscow (15-days transit launched June 2018), Shanghai to Moscow (20-days transit launched January 2017) and Toyama to Moscow (15-days transit launched April 2018). The new services allow delivery time reduction achieved by implementing new pass-through technology (port-railway). Busan to Vladivostok transit time is 2 days.

In January 2021, FESCO for the first time exported containerized grain delivered from Khabarovsk. The TEU-containers were shipped to China's Qingdao and Chiwan ports. FESCO's Russia-China service is 2-week (transit time 14 days). FESCO started bulk shipping of gran (from Krasnoyarsk) to China in 2018 with the new Siberia-to-Far East (Kamchatka and Magadan) service via FESCO-owned trains.

In December 2021, FESCO acquired JSC Port Gaydamak (FEMSTA containership terminal) which was planned for modernization and expansion in 2024. The facility is used mainly for transshipment (400,000+ tons of grain annually) and general cargoes. Also in December was inaugurated the "FESCO West Gate Bridge" (2-4-times a month intermodal containership service on the route Vladivostok- Kaliningrad/Baltiysk ) linking the Asia-Pacific countries with Europe. With an estimated transit time of 36 days, the Vladivostok-Kaliningrad service is nearly 1,5 times faster than the Suez Canal alternative.

History of Primorsky Krai

The first people settled in the region more than 30 thousand years ago. According to ancient legends, the coastal line was densely inhabited. In the Middle Ages, there were three empires on the territory of Primorye, which successively replaced each other: Bohai (698-926), Jin (1115-1234), Eastern Xia (1215-1233).

In the early 13th century, the territory of East Asia suffered the Mongol invasion. This led to the fall of the empire of Jin, but some provinces in the east preserved independence and formed an independent state known as Eastern Xia. In 1233, after another invasion this state ceased to exist too.

After that, the region was in ruins and attracted people persecuted in surrounding countries (bandits, adventurers, political dissidents). The first documented Russian presence in the region dates back to the summer of 1655, when the northern Primorye was visited by Russian Cossacks under the command of Onuphrius Stepanov.

In the middle of the 19th century, the Russian Empire began to strengthen its position in the north-west coast of the Pacific Ocean. In 1856, Primorskaya oblast was formed from the coastal parts of Eastern Siberia and Kamchatka. The territory of present Primorye was incorporated into the Russian state on the basis of Aigun (1858) and Beijing (1860) peace treaties that legalized the border between Russia and China.

More historical facts…

Since then, the southern part of Primorye took its current shape. In 1860, Vladivostok was founded as a military post. Russian migration in the region began. In 1899, the Oriental Institute was opened in Vladivostok - the first higher educational institution in Eastern Siberia and the Far East, and one of the oldest in East Asia.

Further strengthening of Russian positions in the Far East was limited by the small size of the Russian population and remoteness from populated parts of the empire. Regular communication between St. Petersburg and Vladivostok was established after the completion of the Trans-Siberian Railway in 1903.

From 1861 to 1917, about 250,000 peasants arrived in Primorye and founded 342 settlements. In 1917, the population of Primorye amounted to 307,000 people. By the mid-1920s, the local population reached 600,000 people. In the 1930s, forced industrialization and collectivization began which led to another wave of migration. The migration was both voluntary and forced (prisoners).

In 1937-1938, about 200,000 people of Korean and Chinese nationalities were forcibly deported from the region. Until the end of the 1980s, as a result of ethnic deportations, the Chinese and Koreans disappeared from the national composition of the population of Primorye.

In the summer of 1938, on the southern boundary of Primorye, in the area of Lake Khasan, there were military clashes between Manchukuo (a puppet state under Japanese control) and the Soviet Union. After two weeks of fighting, the USSR was able to repel the aggression. On October 20, 1938, Primorsky Krai with the capital in Vladivostok was formed.

After the end of the Second World War, Primorsky Krai continued to develop as a major industrial and agricultural region of the Far East also specializing in the extraction of natural resources. Rail and sea transport played a significant role in the local economy. Migration from the European part of Russia and Siberia continued, which led to an increase of population of the region from 1,381,000 people in 1959 to 1,978,000 in 1979.

With the collapse of the Soviet Union, the region’s economy went into decline, reverse migration in the European part of Russia began. At the beginning of the 21st century, the social and economic situation in Primorsky Krai improved.

Primorsky Krai - Features

Primorsky Krai is located in the south of the Far East, in the south-eastern part of the Russian Federation. It is bordered by Khabarovsk Krai in the north, China in the west, North Korea in the south-west, and is washed by the Japan Sea in the south and east. The largest cities are Vladivostok (601,300), Ussuriysk (172,000), Nakhodka (140,200), Artyom (104,500).

The maximum length of Primorsky Krai (from the mouth of the Tumannaya River to the source of the Samarga River) is about 900 km, the maximum width (from the valley of the Ussuri River to the coast of the Sea of Japan) - about 280 km. The highest peak is Mount Anik (1,933 meters) located in the north-easton of the region, near the border with Khabarovsk krai.

The climate of Primorye is temperate monsoon. Winters are dry and cold with sunny weather; springs are long, cool, with frequent changes of temperature; summers are warm and humid; autumns as a rule are warm and dry.

The main peculiarity - lots of precipitation and fog in summer. Summer is the period of typhoons. The average temperature in July is about plus 17-21 degrees Celsius, in January - minus 8-23 degrees Celsius.

Primorsky Krai - Economy

A number of large and unique deposits of various minerals have been discovered in Primorye. This region has the most powerful mining industry in the Far East of Russia. There are about 100 coal deposits (2.4 billion tons), 30 deposits of tin, 15 deposits of complex ores containing zinc, lead, copper, and silver. Gold deposits are located both in the south of the region and in the north.

The largest in Russia deposit of boron is located near the town of Dalnegorsk. Several phosphorite deposits are discovered on the shelf of the Sea of Japan. There are also several small oil fields, large deposits of germanium. Mountain rivers have significant hydropower potential. Diverse forests cover about 80% of the territory.

Primorsky Krai is the most developed region in the Russian Far East due to its favorable geographic location and abundance of various natural resources. The local economy is based on such industries as mining, timber, fisheries, trade, shipbuilding and repairing.

Primorye has a relatively well-developed transportation network. The main traffic artery is the eastern section of the Trans-Siberian Railway. Due to its proximity to Japan and the Republic of Korea (imports of relatively cheap used cars), Primorsky Krai occupies the first place in Russia in the number of vehicles in the population.

The seaports of Primorsky Krai play an important role in the economy of Russia. The largest container terminals in the Russian Far East are located here. Regional and international air flights are carried out from Vladivostok International Airport.

Attractions of Primorsky Krai

Primorsky Krai is known for its rich flora and fauna, the variety of landscapes, the warm sea in the south, springs with healing water. All this creates favorable conditions for tourism development.

In Primorye, there are more than 500 unique natural sites (lakes, waterfalls, ancient extinct volcanoes, caves, bays). There are six nature reserves and three national parks:

• Far East Marine Reserve in the Gulf of Peter the Great,
• “Kedrovaya Pad” Reserve,
• Lazovsky Reserve,
• Sikhote-Alin Reserve included in the UNESCO World Heritage List,
• Ussuri Nature Reserve,
