Luxury motor yacht ‘Alaska’ (formerly M/Y ‘Aliska’) is a 43m/144 foot ShipWorks superyacht which will be available to charter in the Mediterranean. Every detail of M/Y ‘Alaskas’ design, engineering and construction of the luxury motor yacht has been an quest to create the perfect yacht. This tri-deck is unmistakably elegant and sleek with her flawless blue-black hull. Even to casual observation, it is clear Shipworks has achieved much in the creation of the 144. By all measure, she is the quintessential expression of the modern superyacht and the highest evolved form of the shipbuilder’s art.
ENTERTAINMENT AREAS
The main entry on the starboard side of ‘Alaskas’ main deck opens into an impressive foyer with curved stairways to upper and lower decks. The foyer features silk panelled walls and American walnut timberwork with ebonised black inlay. Flooring is antique Labrador marble with nautilus shell design inlaid in stainless steel and black galaxy granite.
Motor yacht Alaskas main salon is rich in fine American walnut, Labrador granite and beautiful silk panelling. The theme is New York City penthouse. Gold leaf, black stepped cabinets provide storage. A 50” pop-up flat screen plasma monitor, DVD and Marantz stereo system provide entertainment. The contrasting silk wall behind the credenza provides the backdrop for a featured art piece. Overhead, a fielded and raised panel is an elegant ceiling accent (a distinctive design feature found throughout the yacht). The expansive windows are dressed with beautifully tailored sheer silk Roman blinds, while stepped cornices and fluted walnut mullions highlight the exquisite craftsmanship. A creamy, hand-made, sculptured Tai Ping carpet, made from the finest New Zealand wool, completes the penthouse-inspired main salon.
The formal dining room is forward of the main salon where an oval, American walnut dining table with gold inlay, provides comfortable seating for 10. Matching buffets with inlaid marquetry provide the generous storage, while the continuing design theme is beautifully played in silk panel walls, deep Tai Ping carpet, silk Roman blinds and fluted column mullions. A hand painted, antiqued gold leaf Chinese screen is a key feature of this elegant and intimate room.
‘Alaska’ is a very social yacht and ideal for yacht charters where there will be some entertaining. The flow from indoor to outdoor living and entertaining on the bridge deck is a seamless transition. A luxurious skylounge, elegantly decorated for casual entertaining with plush fabrics, raw silk panelled walls, sheer silk Roman blinds and matching American walnut cabinets featuring herring-bone inlays and ebonised walnut accents. A 42” plasma screen pop-up TV and sunken bar are the finishing touches in this very social space. The skylounge opens onto a large shaded expanse for outdoor relaxing and dining. Farther aft, the deck is open to sun.
Notable in the skylounge is an innovative sunken bar. Lowering the deck behind the bar eliminates the need for tall bar stools, the very height of which would restrict the view through the large windows. Using the comfortable caned club chairs around the bar is not only more view friendly and luxurious, it is more social. Everyone in the lounge can now be seated at the same level.
A large, luxurious sundeck incorporates hot tub and lounge forward, with a grilling and food preparation center under the soaring radar arch midship, an outdoor dining and chaise lounge area are aft. On cool nights, this generous, open deck is ideal for elegant entertaining or quiet, romantic dining under the stars.
Luxury motor yacht ‘Alaska’ is ready to provide the highest standard in Mediterranean yacht charters.
