On-Board  OURANOS

By Oliver Pearson | 27th Jun 2023

Stepping on board the 50m (164ft) motor yacht OURANOS at the Mediterranean Yacht Show 2023, the team at YachtCharterFleet got the inside track behind one of the most popular charter yachts on the fleet.

One of the most silent yachts certified by the Rina Classification Society, and filled to the brim with a swathe of luxury amenities, superyacht OURANOS promises to treat charter guests to an altogether unique cruising experience.

Named after the primordial God of the sky, superyacht OURANOS perfectly embodies the Greek view of beauty and light contained inside of a vast space.

Delivered to her experienced owner in 2016, OURANOS is the first in the C Force 50 range from Admiral . Motivated by the desire to optimise the amount of light which enlivens the interior, the range sets itself apart with a two-level central window opening up the main and upper decks.

Along with such a revolutionary design, the abundance of features found around her interior and exterior make the motor yacht truly spectacular.

Defined as ‘luxuriously simple’, the interior on board superyacht OURANOS was styled by Italian architect Gian Marco Campanino together with Admiral Centro Stile, with the mantra 'less is more' forming the basis for the interior design that runs throughout the whole yacht, with pure lines and a subtle colour scheme.

Despite the deliberate lack of extravagance, high-end furnishings and precious materials such as natural leather abound, creating an atmosphere of casual elegance in which guests can truly relax. But, with such generous glazing, the real focus is on whatever heavenly cruising grounds are outside.

Socializing and relaxing

Nowhere is this more apparent than in the main salon, accessed through the double doors on the main deck aft. Wooden floorboards run underfoot, contrasting the ivory suede panels of the ceiling and walls, the latter of which intersperse an expanse of floor-to-ceiling windows.

High-end furnishings and precious materials abound, creating an atmosphere of casual elegance in which guests can truly relax

Two light grey sofas with charcoal and lead-coloured scatter cushions face each other to form a seating area. Inspired by the name OURANOS – the Greek god of the heavens – and the idea of constellations, reflective surfaces have been added across the yacht, and one example is seen in the mirrored stack of coffee tables that complete the scene.

Further forward is a marble-topped dining table surrounded by modern grey chairs. Up to 12 people can be seated here for formal dinner parties, looked over by a colourful painting on the end bulwark, which injects a sense of vibrancy into the neutral surrounds.

Little can be done, however, to compete with the stunning views visible through the windows, which provide a sharp contrast to the understated interior and allow natural light to flood inside.

Generous accommodation

Spanning across the forward section of the main deck is the master suite. A door to starboard leads off the main foyer and opens onto a private office, which can also serve as a dressing table.

Unlike the main salon, the suite is full-beam and there is an immediate sense of spaciousness when stepping into the sleeping quarters. A large bed faces aft towards a widescreen TV, a chaise lounge provides a place to rest to starboard and a desk is located to port.

Taupe suede panels line the walls, the desk is wrapped in brown shagreen and similar shades appear in the upholstery. Overall, this creates a sensuous, tranquil retreat for the principal charterer, with the emphasis again on the amazing views, this time seen through vertical portholes.  

There is also a large walk-in closet, and a luxurious en-suite bathroom clad in white marble and featuring his and hers sinks, as well as a huge shower with an aromatherapy setting adding to the indulgent experience.

Ensuring that superyacht OURANOS is accessible to each and every charter guest that steps on board, a beautifully styled glass elevator has been installed to reach the various deck spaces.

Stylish as well as functional, this feature blends in beautifully with the bright textures and tones which surround it.

This glass elevator in the marble-floored foyer provides access to the lower deck guest cabins, which include three double cabins and two convertible cabins each with a Pullman berth. With her flexible accommodation arrangement, OURANOS can sleep up to 12 guests.

Styling cues are taken from the master suite, with the reappearance of taupe suede wall panels, matching taupe and gold accents in the bed linen, and shagreen leather desks.

Differences can be found in the en-suites, however, due to the use of darker brown marbles and stripy wood panels in the heads.

Entertainment as the sun goes down

The elevator also reaches the upper deck foyer, where there is a full-height, multi-coloured figurine of a couple dancing the tango. After this welcome, guests can enter the aft section of the deck for a choice of areas suitable for both privacy and socialising.

OURANOS’ signature glazing flanks the space, and the feel is light, airy and even more relaxed than the salon below. A huge U-shaped sofa wraps around a glass square coffee table, facing an artwork decorated in butterflies, which slides across to reveal a widescreen TV.

Moving aft, two games tables are situated to port and starboard. The space then narrows into a second, more intimate lounge area complete with a marble-topped bar lined with bar stools and two high-back armchairs. A large colourful piece of art adorns the wall for extra interest.

The collection of artworks, as well as the glass figurines, some of which are displayed in glass cabinets on the main deck, are all decorative without being overly fussy and are all part of Campanino’s efforts to create OURANOS’ very own art collection.

Alfresco living

With broad walkways providing access to the numerous sections, the exterior of superyacht OURANOS is equipped with all of the features necessary to enjoy the water in style.

The main deck aft, for example, is home to a spacious lounging area furnished with generously sized and softly textured seating.

Highly spacious and stocked with luxury features, the exterior of superyacht OURANOS ensures charter guests get the most out of their cruising grounds

An assortment of gymnasium equipment can be brought together to create the most exciting environment for a healthy workout. Indeed, what better way to stretch your muscles than to do so by looking out across the ocean?

Altogether, this exterior space is superbly multi-functional, allowing guests to enjoy the facilities however they desire from sunrise to sunset.

Ensuring that the exterior flows elegantly around the large windows, the team at Unielle Yacht Design have conjured lines which produce a sleek and iconic profile sure to turn heads when she’s underway and at-anchor.

Optimising the amount of space which can be used by guests, the foredeck has been given over to tender storage to allow the sundeck and beach club to remain totally uncluttered.

The sundeck is sure to form the central area for charter guests to relax and socialise around during the day, with a number of thoughtfully placed amenities making it ideal both whilst cruising and at anchor.

Perhaps the crowning achievement of the sundeck, however, is the retractable television fitted above the Jacuzzi. With a two-sided screen, this feature is capable of entertaining the guests gathered in the pool whilst at the same time entertaining those unwinding on the furnishings behind it.

What’s more, with the bar only a short distance away, those taking a soak in the sun are able to remain easily refreshed throughout the day.

At the amidships area of the sundeck, and situated beneath plenty of shading, a large table forms an alfresco dining area for the entire party to gather around to enjoy their meals with stunning views.

With recessed lighting lining this dining space, it’s totally possible to remain seated after dinner to enjoy coffees or cocktails in the inviting evening climate of her cruising grounds.

Just like the finishing touches found elsewhere on board superyacht OURANOS, all of the cutlery and surrounding fixtures are finished in calming colours and patterns.

Of course, the beach club belonging to superyacht OURANOS is one of her most defining attractions. The perfect place to unwind whilst at-anchor, the open area is easily accessed and sheltered to provide the most comfortable experience possible. 

This area benefits from retractable balconies on all sides, offering beautiful over-water terraces prefect for massages, yoga or simply relaxing and enjoying being close to nature.

Of course, no yacht would be complete without a toy chest, and OURANOS is certainly no slouch in that department, offering everything from Seabobs with video capability and Jet Surfs to a fabulous inflatable water slide. Furthermore, she also offers a 2-person mini submarine for charter guests holding a valid scuba diving certification, as well as a range of onshore toys.

If that wasn't enough, OURANOS comes equipped with a huge 14-meter Technohull Omega chase tender, perfect for day-long excursions around secluded bays and shallow lagoons away from the mothership.

With an enclosed area found behind sliding glass doors, guests are also able to take themselves back into an interior space to fully dry off and sip on some refreshments. For those desiring a workout, there is also a collection of gymnasium equipment on hand to provide an alternative fitness space to the one found on the sundeck.

All in all, superyacht OURANOS is just as the ancient Greeks once imagined the sky, with all of her bright beauty ushering in a world of calm to all who step on board.

In order to find out even more about M/Y OURANOS, and where you can enjoy her with your friends and family, please feel free to get in touch with your preferred charter broker .

Superyacht Ouranos Launched by Admiral Yachts

By Ben Roberts

The second in a list of four this year, Admiral Yachts has launched the 50 metre C Force superyacht Ouranos for a repeat client looking to cross the Atlantic and cruise the Caribbean after the Monaco Yacht Show.

Set to be used by the family, chartered throughout the world and showcased at the 2016 Monaco Yacht Show, Ouranos is a global superyacht with eyes on the turquoise waters of the Caribbean for her primary cruising grounds. The Interior Due to the scheduled charter career and the experience of the owner, Ouranos has been perfectly balanced for charter and family vacations. Designed by Gian Marco Campanino, the interiors on board were styled to attempt a new level of luxury, refined and understated which acts as a home on the water.

"I guess that M/Y Ouranos interiors express the contemporary lifestyle state-of-the-art without being overcharged of iper-decoration; "Less is More" is still current. Without giving up high-end finishings, this yacht establishes a new luxury idea, made of purity and linearity; sophisticated atmospheres, subtle color shades make of this interiors something very cozy although definitely luxurious; precious materials and outstanding art pieces speak for themselves; without being a glitzy boat, she best represents the new ideal of elegance".

Ouranos offers Owners a large master suite, private office, walk-in wardrobe and a huge master bathroom on the main deck with ten full-height windows.

On the lower deck, served by a glass and steel elevator which connects all the three decks, five large guest cabins find place, three of which are VIPs, while the other two are twins convertible to doubles along with Pullman beds.

The common spaces are further completed by two big salons, one on the main deck, where also the main dining area is located, and one on the upper deck, almost taking the full beam of the yacht and also featuring a cinema corner and a bar.

The main design feature of the yacht is actually within the two salons, as they are ‘virtually’ connected by continuous full headroom side windows which go from the main deck sideways up to the upper saloon ceilings, offering incredible sea views.  Exterior Spaces The very aft end of the yacht is indeed a tremendous open terrace on the sea, to be used both at anchor or when cruising and provided with an opening transom; the terrace is directly connected to the main deck cockpit through a dedicated staircase and it can be used as the main access to the yacht when the pontoon is low enough to do this.

The interior area of the remarkable beach club is actually the wellness club of the yacht, featuring a massage corner, a gym and a day head; this space is directly connected to the main saloon through a dedicated staircase and to the external terrace through a sliding watertight door. The beach club may be open and enlarged further thanks to the two side opening hullports, which create two other terraces on the sea and make the beach club area of the Admiral C Force 50 much bigger than on other yachts of similar and bigger size. All of this area is covered with natural teak.

The exterior spaces also include the main deck aft cockpit, which is a huge lounge area, plenty of sunbathing space; the main access to the yacht is from this cockpit, via a large pivoting passerelle which is concealed within the transom; the upper aft cockpit has been designed as the main exterior dining space, while the sun deck is the party area of the Admiral C Force 50 featuring a large Jacuzzi surrounded by sunbeds.

Under the large hard top there are also a big bar and another dining table; this area is further protected by retractable awning systems and by an opening wind screen, placed forward, which allows the guests to enjoy ‘al fresco’ dinners also during the windy nights.

We’ll be taking a closer look at Ouranos before her showcase at the 2016 Monaco Yacht Show later this year as well as the lifestyle on board before her charter life begins.

OURANOS for charter

A chief charter yacht in the Aegean Sea, and the Eastern Mediterranean, the 50-metre Ouranos was the first of Admiral’s C Force series by The Italian Sea Group (TISG).

Spending almost all of her time exploring these waters since her delivery in 2016, she also visits Turkey and other parts of the Eastern Med. Few crews on earth could provide the same details on the Greek shores as that on board Ouranos .

Her striking – and aggressive – styling is by Jure Bukavec of Uniellé Yacht Design, a young designer from Slovenia. Boasting a generous volume, whilst remaining under 500GT, all spaces are well-proportioned and beautifully designed.

Accommodation on board is for 12 across six cabins, including one vast master cabin, which is embellished with leather wall panels and a marble bathroom. The five lower deck cabins are connected, not only by a staircase, but also a glass-enclosed lift, which can whisk you up to the upper deck at the touch of a button.

The upper deck is home to an exterior dining space and an enclosed upper deck bar aft. But walk through into the upper saloon and you’ll see the biggest impact of Oruanos’ vast windows as natural light beams into the space.

The connection with the sea on board is a remarkable feature thanks to her striking design. But for those who would prefer to take the plunge themselves and spend their days frolicking in the Aegean, Ouranos has you covered. Two tenders reside on the foredeck and a 13.2 metre chase boat, the Omega 41 with a staggering 70 knot top speed.

Joe Lewis’ $250 million superyacht, ranked among the world’s 25-most valuable, sets sail after he pays US fine

Joe Lewis’ superyacht is on the move again after spending most of the past year holed up in a Mediterranean port while the British billionaire faced insider-trading charges in the US.

His 322-foot (98-meter) Aviva — which he put up as collateral for bail —  has traveled more than 400 nautical miles from Malta to cities along Albania’s coast as well as the Greek island of Zakynthos since  he was sentenced  April 4 to three years probation, according to data compiled by Bloomberg.

After departing Zakynthos earlier this week, the Tavistock Group founder’s yacht was near Kalamata in southern Greece on Thursday morning local time, the data show. It’s the most the roughly $250 million vessel has traveled in about seven months, though it’s unclear if Lewis is on board.

Lewis, 87, pledged his yacht along with his private jet to secure his release following his arrest in July. A few months later, Aviva docked until April 5 in the Maltese capital of Valletta, where it can cost as much as €750 ($800) a night to moor vessels that exceed 75 meters.

Lewis, who was scheduled to have eye surgery in London recently, was prohibited from setting foot on the yacht that has long served as part-residence, part-office while awaiting trial. He was only allowed on board after paying a $5 million fine after sentencing, which he settled soon after the verdict in Manhattan.

A representative for Lewis, who has a net worth of about $7.3 billion according to the Bloomberg Billionaires Index, declined to comment.

Lewis, whose global empire includes five-star hotels, private lenders and enclaves for the wealthy, launched Aviva in 2017. It includes eight guest suites, a helipad, padel tennis court, spa and a cinema. It ranked among the world’s 25-most valuable superyachts shortly after its launch, alongside those owned by Middle Eastern royals.

The yacht has also displayed works from Lewis’ private art collection, which is valued at more than $1 billion and includes pieces by Picasso, Freud, Klimt and Degas.

Events that authorities say took place on the yacht were a key piece of evidence that prosecutors used against him. 

At dinner one night in September 2019, the billionaire received favorable news about Mirati Therapeutics Inc., an oncology company where he was a major investor, leading him to pass along the tip to a host of people, including the pilots of his private jet, according to US regulators.

Those pilots — Bryan “Marty” Waugh and Patrick O’Connor — were also charged with trading on inside information. O’Connor pleaded guilty to securities fraud and conspiracy and is due to be sentenced in May, while Waugh is fighting the charges.

5 things to know about North Palm Beach mega-yacht owner, billionaire Michael Bozzuto

Billionaire Michael Bozzuto is fighting for the right to moor his 164-foot mega-yacht behind a waterfront house he owns at 932 Shore Dr. in North Palm Beach.

But the Village of North Palm Beach has told Bozzuto he doesn't have this right.

It's the latest example of how big money landing in Florida is running up against Old Florida residents who want their communities to stay low-key.

After years of disputes over the yacht, Bozzuto recently filed a lawsuit against the municipality, asking a judge to agree that he has the right to the use of his house and his dock.

Who is Michael Bozzuto, and why is he suing the Village of North Palm Beach?

Here are five things to know:

1. Billionaire Michael Bozzuto is a longtime North Palm Beach resident

Bozzuto is the billionaire owner of a privately held, family-owned supermarket wholesaler in Connecticut called Bozzuto's Inc. The company is a distributor of food and household products to retailers in New England, New York, New Jersey and Pennsylvania. Bozzuto's was founded by Michael's late father, Adam.

Even though Bozzuto's Inc. is based in Connecticut, Bozzuto has lived in the Village of North Palm Beach, population 13,000, for 20 years.

2. Besides owning a yacht, what are Michael Bozzuto's hobbies?

In addition to being a businessman, Bozzuto is an investor and philanthropist. He is a longtime supporter of the Special Olympics.

He is also an under-the-radar resident who likes to collect houses and yachts, said his lawyer, former Florida Bar president Gregory Coleman.

Bozzuto bought the motor yacht, Honey, about 10 years ago for an undisclosed sum. The Westport mega-yacht was built in 2007 and is the largest of several yachts Bozzuto owns.

More: Cannonsport Marina sells for $58.5 million in big deal for tiny Palm Beach Shores

Bozzuto also owns four houses in the Village of North Palm Beach. This includes the house at 932 Shore Dr., where he wants to dock Honey. In 2014, Bozzuto paid $840,247 for the house, which was built in 1961, according to Palm Beach County property records.

The property is on a rare corner bordered on the north and east by navigable waters that provide access to the Atlantic Ocean via the Lake Worth Inlet. The east-facing dock is large enough to accommodate Honey.

Bozzuto's residence is in another part of North Palm Beach, on Harbour Isles Court.

3. Michael Bozzuto's net worth isn't known but billionaire owns property outside of North Palm Beach, too

Bozzuto made waves recently when in January he paid $31.1 million for a waterfront house in nearby Palm Beach Shores.

The Singer Island house with two docks stretches into the Intracoastal Waterway just north of the Palm Beach/Lake Worth Inlet. The three-lot parcel on 1.5 acres has about 200 feet of waterfront.

The property was bought from an owner whose family had owned it for decades. It's unclear if Bozzuto will make any changes to the property.

In a brief interview in February, Bozzuto said: “It’s a house, and it will probably be a house."

Twin City Mall: North Palm clears way for redevelopment, taller buildings at landmark site

4. Why can't Bozzuto park his yacht behind his North Palm Beach house?

The Village of North Palm Beach rules say that a private dock or pier can only be used by the occupant of the house. But the village doesn't define the word "occupant."

Bozzuto's lawsuit said while the village has discussed whether to define an occupant as a resident, it never has done so.

Hundreds of other property owners dock a boat behind their North Palm Beach house but do not live there year-round.

Therefore Bozzuto said he's being singled out because neighbors just don't like his boat's big size. This selective enforcement is wrong, his lawsuit said.

Show me the money? Here it is: West Palm and Palm Beach rank in top 5 as cities with fastest growth in millionaires

5. What does North Palm Beach think about the lawsuit?

Unfortunately, this is a mystery until the village responds to Bozzuto's lawsuit in public court records.

The village's longtime lawyer, Lenard Rubin, who knows the municipality's history with boats and houses, did not respond to requests for comment. Neither did the village's manager, Chuck Huff.

Key security considerations for the marina industry and yacht owners.

Stefan Leipold CEO of STARKinc.biz / ProsSysCo.biz / Oceans Yachting.

I'd like to share some essential knowledge for existing or new owners of yachts and service providers in the industry to keep customers and vessels safe and secure in the marina industry, which differs a little bit from a corporate environment.

The first and most essential step is vetting your crew members for criminal records, their online footprint and their work history. When you offer services in this industry, you have to understand that a multimillion-dollar yacht is not just only a moving villa on the sea; it also has a very sophisticated expensive IT infrastructure, and its owners are oftentimes public figures who value their privacy and security, both physically and in the digital world.

Over the years, I have worked with my team from Oceans Yachting on numerous projects, and I'd like to share our expertise with other leaders in the industry.

Security Basics

Contractors who work with yacht owners have the absolute obligation to protect the asset's hardware, software, information and identity with the best technology and knowledge possible. After a successful implementation project (whether a build, refit or upgrade), the entire vessel needs to be monitored and maintained due to daily exposure to ever-changing cybersecurity threats, and its access, identity and location should be kept protected at all times.

If you have a staff of 20 or more permanently on board year-round, they need to be educated and trained on industry do's and don'ts. For example, all private work should only be performed on their own dedicated network in their off time. That way, they can't do damage to the client's network even if they are able to download a virus.

Network Considerations

In a regular cyberattack at a corporation, there might be financial or reputational damages; however, in the marina industry, the consequences can be way more severe, including jeopardizing human life in the event of a crash. For this reason, I highly recommend that commercially used vessels and private vessels have multiple networks set up—not just in the interest of complying with cyber risk guidelines from organizations like the International Maritime Organization, but also for the fundamental security of everybody on board. Every vessel should have the following networks:

1. A network that is only for communication and navigation. (Navigation systems should under no circumstances be connected to the internet; updates should be performed offline and on board.)

2. A crew network that is very limited in bandwidth and have many functions restricted, such as watching illegally obtained movies online, using Instagram, and so on. Activities like these can compromise the location and security of the owners and crew to pirates at sea or digital attackers.

3. A network just for the owners that is designed to meet the needs of the owner.

4. A dedicated network to monitor and access the entire engine system and communications.

5. Three internet lines: a shoreline for when the vessel is at the marina, a satellite line for use on the ocean and a 5G line for when the vessel is close to the coast or shore.

Work-based email and cellular lines should be controlled internally; no crew members should use personal emails or alternative sources to communicate without explicit permission.

Remaining Vigilant And Prepared

The captain and security officer of a vessel always need to be in close contact with the IT and security team, while the main staff should have limited knowledge and access to anything security-related. I can't stress the importance of security and the elevated risk a yacht's owners often face enough. This industry is a small but wealthy one, so they may be attractive to pirates at sea, kidnappers or cyberattacks for ransom.

It's important to look at all elements all the time and minimize clients' exposure (including to personal security risks). Having a small closed circle of people on board is better. There should be an area of operations established for every situation. Make sure to evaluate the risk and the level of security needed for the asset.

Get the right people for each job, because every job is different.

In most situations, for all corporations or industries, crisis response time is more valuable than money to business owners or CEOS, as a quick response can minimize damage to data, reputation and clients.

When it comes to the hardware service providers use, everything should be redundant, including battery backups, firewalls, switches, access points, servers and so on. This is because on a vessel, you cannot just go and order or buy a switch the same day if you are on the open ocean. Similarly, all equipment should be kept licensed and monitored remotely to ensure immediate responses are possible.

I hope that this article provides a view into the differences between a corporate human and IT environment and the yachting and marina industry.
