For billionaires, owning a superyacht is a symbol of their wealth and proof of their refined taste in luxury, and while some prefer custom-built vessels, billionaire  Dennis Washington exemplifies a different approach by transforming pre-existing yachts into unique masterpieces, as seen with the 332-foot-long Attessa IV .

Washington started his career as a machinery operator in Alaska and also in construction with his uncle. Later, he borrowed $30,000 to start his own company, which became Washington Companies, with interests spanning construction, mining, railroads, copper, and shipping, making him one of the wealthiest men in America.

Known for his hands-on approach and business acumen, he has developed a reputation as a self-made tycoon who transformed small regional companies into major players in their respective fields. According to  Bloomberg , the 90-year-old billionaire has a $7.6 billion net worth.

Attessa IV, which was first built in 1999 for Chang Yung-fa, chairman of the Taiwanese Evergreen Group, has undergone an incredible transformation capturing the extravagant way of life of the super-wealthy.

Washington paid $50 million USD for the yacht in 2007 and started an ambitious renovation project. It took three years to complete major structural changes, and interior remodels that allowed the original 298-foot vessel to be stretched to its current impressive length.

To bring Washington’s vision to life, $200 million USD was spent, and a team of 225 workers—ten of whom were engineers—devoted an estimated one million man-hours .

The Attessa IV was redesigned as the ideal family boat, with hallways and doors removed to make the boat feel more spacious and welcoming. The yacht now contains luxurious features, including a 12-seat cinema, an impressive spa, and a state-of-the-art gym.

A dining room, library, and saloon were given up, along with four staterooms, to make room for these additions on this deck.

One of the many magnificent features of the Attessa IV is its grand entrance area and incredible central circulation. Another one of its features is its hypnotic staircase that spirals through six decks, split into pairs of semi-circles divided by a fore and aft passageway, creating a landing and foyer at each level.

Above the main deck, known as the “guest deck,” there are four large suites that offer stunning ocean views, luxurious amenities, and unparalleled comfort for all guests on board. Other features include a library, saloon, and dining room.

In addition to these, the floor-to-ceiling windows and doors of the guest deck are complemented by three Botero sculptures and provide access to breathtaking views. Moreover, the superyacht’s top on the sundeck has a pool with a shallow section for children. In 2012,  Bill Gates enjoyed a family holiday aboard Attessa IV in Belize.

The Attessa IV’s renovation involved extensive engineering work; its bow and stern were extended by 12 feet and 20 feet, respectively. Re-bedding engines, relocating fuel tanks, and improving the overall structural integrity were among the engineering modifications made to turn it into a secure retreat with a Kevlar-lined steel hull.

The yacht now also consists of a helicopter landing pad and hangar. This is a rare feature even among superyachts. The Attessa IV has been meticulously designed down to the last detail, from remote-controlled room systems to Gucci stainless steel lounge chairs arranged throughout the different decks.

The suite belonging to the owner of the yacht is a wonder in itself. It has a 19th-century English fireplace with statuary marble and a sitting room decorated with sapele joinery, leather chairs, as well as a 19th-century French, Louis XV-style fireplace designed with verde marble.

The inside of the yacht is furnished with well-crafted materials, including sapele joinery and leather chairs. Historical fireplaces and a calm colour scheme make the interior even more beautiful, connecting it to the private decks outside.

The yacht has nine staterooms that can accommodate up to 18 guests and quarters for 28 crew members. Its bulletproof glass windows and Kevlar reinforcement for the steel hull and aluminium superstructure ensure both security and luxury.

The Attessa IV can reach a top speed of 25 knots while cruising at 18 knots thanks to its twin diesel Wartsila 6,595hp engines.

Currently listed for sale at $164 million USD, the Attessa IV is a prime example of the transformation of the superyacht industry, combining unparalleled luxury, engineering expertise and history into one exquisite vessel.

Diners at Bertrand at Mister A's had this view of super yacht Attessa IV in San Diego's harbor June 4 and 5. The luxury mega yacht is owned by billionaireDennis Washington.

It’s the 332-foot Attessa IV, belonging to industrialist billionaire Dennis Washington .

He’s the Montana-based founder of the Washington Companies and a long-time San Diego visitor. His $150 million yacht, described as “one of the most exquisite” by Forbes.com, has been a frequent sight at the Kona Kai Marina on Shelter Island.

On June 4, however, the yacht was all decked out for a party. Washington’s invitees celebrated the 90th birthday of Bill McComas , a part-time resident of Rancho Santa Fe. McComas is one of the founders of IGT ( International Gaming Technologies), a firm dominating the poker video gaming machine market.

In the interest of trivial pursuit, Washington’s predecessor Attessa yacht, although it bore a different name, was used the 1987 film “Overboard” starring Goldie Hawn and Kurt Russell . That Attessa also appeared in the 1993 movie “Indecent Proposal” with Robert Redford and Demi Moore.

Helping hand: Sharon LeeMaster , the voice for numerous local not-for-profit organizations, fell and broke her wrist the other evening. Despite her pain, she kept an appointment the following morning to deliver donated Padres ballgame tickets to the San Diego Madres for its fundraiser.

While there, a kindly member of the Madres volunteered to help her while she is on the mend. “Could I come by and read to you, or do whatever you need?” queried Dorothy Yonimitsu .

The age of the lady so generously offering her services? 98.

Busy as a bell: The local Spirit of Liberty Foundation’s America’s Freedom Bell traveled to the World War II monument in Washington, D.C., for Memorial Day. Secretary of Defense Ash Carter rang the huge bronze bell, which resembles the Liberty Bell, as did thousands of other attendees.

After the ceremony, the bell rode on a float in the Memorial Day parade then was bundled up and flown to France for the international observance of D-Day in Normandy on June 5 and 6.

The bell was originally cast on June 6, 2013. It bears the symbols of all the branches of the Armed Forces and contains metal from the Twin Towers destroyed in the 9/11 terrorist attack.

Good sports: Soccer player Kraig Chiles was honored as San Diego’s 2016 “Sports Man of the Year” at the Hall of Champions in Balboa Park. Stealing some of the San Diego Sockers star’s spotlight, however, was his “date” at the Taste 4 Sports event — Chiles’ 2-year-old daughter.

Perennial attendee Bill Walton was unable to be at the celebration this year but his presence was felt nonetheless — a dinner with the hoops star was auctioned for more than $400.

The compact dimensions, 16 meters long and almost 5 meters wide, allow the 530 yacht to deliver grand Italian luxury and cruising immersed in such comfort until now unheard of in a yacht of this size.

Ferretti 530 yacht boasts three revolutionary innovations: the full beam master cabin with chaise longue and two large open view windows that make it a real suite at sea level bathed in light, tones and the natural essences of teak. Moving the galley from the center to the aft section creates a unique open space that includes the saloon, galley, cocktail bar and the dining area, the cockpit area continues thanks to the tilting window. The roll bar free sky lounge and the spoiler allow the 530 a sporty appearance combined with elegantly formal lines.

Ferretti 530 Yacht - Interior

Riva , the iconic Ferretti Group brand, presented a new model at the historical Lake d’Iseo shipyards in July 2011. Featuring elegance and ease of transportation as its distinctive characteristics, Iseo superyacht tender , a 27 foot runabout, is destined to become a must-have for those who love cruising on both lakes and the sea, and, most importantly, design enthusiasts. It is also perfect for anyone wishing to enhance their yacht with an exclusive tender that will never go unnoticed.
