Superyachts, properly obsessed over.

Make a cuppa. There’s a rather extraordinary boat to look at.

La Datcha

A hangar for two helicopters, a submarine and five deck drawings I could happily lose an afternoon to.

Come and have a proper look at La Datcha, from the aircraft and tenders to the warm places to come home to. There is a lot to love in these 77 metres. ☕🚁

Read La Datcha

Another proper rabbit hole:
Octopus

My favourite superyacht still has plenty to keep us occupied. There’s a full long read, a deck-by-deck guide and a tender fleet worth a proper look.

An enormous boat.
A proper rabbit hole.

I love superyachts. This is my independent passion project: make a cuppa, find an enormous boat and follow the details wherever they lead.

Here I share the details I find, the bits that make me laugh and the design choices I would absolutely have opinions about.

Search for a boat and see where the trail leads. These are specialist editorial directories, so check important details against the builder or another source.

02Watch a yacht tour

For the moments when a floor plan simply will not do. Try a builder’s polished film, then have a proper look around with people who film yacht walkthroughs.

03Step aboard something different

A detour into yacht history: the Australian National Maritime Museum lets you look around the historic steam yacht Ena from your sofa.

A little more yacht in your feed.
