Styleture

Interior design is much more than a land based activity – it also extends to the high seas. Depending on your thoughts on global warming we could be designing quite a bit of interiors for water bound vessels once the polar ice caps meet their demise and we’re up to our necks in H₂O. But putting those gloomy prognostications aside for the moment, the designing of a boat’s interior can be as thoughtful and detailed as any luxury home. This will be made quite evident at this year’s 51st annual Fort Launderdale International Boat Show taking place in Fort Lauderdale, FL on Thursday, October 28 and going until November 1.

The boat show is a chance to take a look at some of the fixtures and architectural products that transform boats and yachts into luxurious living spaces. A wide variety of boats and sea vessels will be on display including runabouts, sportfishers, high performance boats, center consoles, cabin cruisers, flats boats, skiffs, express cruisers, sailing yachts, motor yachts, bowriders, catamarans, ski boats, jet boats, trawlers, inflatables, canoes, and extraordinary superyachts. See below for show details.

Yachts are a great place to see amazing styles and designs. On the heels of the Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show which we attended and saw more interior and exterior details than we could have imagined, we thought we’d show you some amazing Super Yachts. No luxury is overlooked with these yachts, and every style can be designed from super modern, to classic and even completely custom designs.

Many people don’t think of a Naval Ship when they picture a Luxury Yacht, but when it comes to JFA Yachts , that’s exactly what they produce. JFA has yachts from 75’ to 150’ and below we see the Vripack 122, which is an amazing sea craft with a traditional design that appeals to the dedicated sailor.
