NEW TO THE FLEET


N


ewly offered for Mediterranean charter by IYC, the 182-foot
(55.6-meter) Elsflether Werft AG Insignia has a particularly
spacious upper deck with an open-air cinema, hot tub and
sunbathing area.Built in Germany, the yacht has exterior and interior
design by Luiz DeBasto. In addition to multiple guest spaces for host-
ing friends and socializing, Insignia has an onboard sauna plus wellness
programs designed by doctors, trainers and therapists. She also has
a seven-stateroom layout, which means there’s an extra room for 12
guests to spread out and be comfortable. A refit in 2017 included new
decks and a hull and superstructure paint job, and Insignia charters
with three tenders for water-sports fun. iyc.com

T


he 157-foot (48-meter) Trinity Rebel is the newest addi-
tion to the charter fleet at Northrop & Johnson. A 2015
refit and constant upkeep have her in superb condition,
the company says. From her open-plan salon and formal dining
area on the main deck to her full-beam sky lounge, she is built for
space and comfort at sea. Rebel accommodates 10 guests in five
ensuite staterooms (four of them with king-size beds). The sun-
deck has four chaise lounges forward with awnings for shade, and
a full bar. Rebel’s shallow draft allows her to explore skinny-water
destinations, and she charters with a 35-foot Everglades tender
for gunkholing. northropandjohnson.com

R


enaissance, a 116-foot (35.4-meter) Hargrave launched
in 2016, can accommodate 10 guests in five staterooms.
Designer Shelley DiCondina and the owners, who are avid
boaters, used a repetition of themes, patterns, colors and textures to
create continuity and elegance throughout the vessel’s décor. Now
chartering with Denison Yachting, Renaissance is expected to cruise
in New England, Florida and the Bahamas. In addition to personal
watercraft, kayaks, paddleboards, snorkeling gear and inflatable toys,
she has a 27-foot Chris-Craft tender, a Laser Pico sailboat, a Deep
Trekker Smart ROV, scuba equipment and a DJI Phantom 3 profes-
sional drone. denisonyachting.com
