Aquarius

Length: 154 feet. Max speed: 13.5 knots. “I’m more of a classic guy. I like the wood interiors of the Aquarius and especially the way her sheerline rises up towards the bow, which you don’t see on the more modern boats,” owner Udo J. Vetter told Yachtsinternational.com. Vetter, a German pharmaceuticals executive, bought the Aquarius in 2016 with globe-trotting dreams. Launched in 1990 by Italian shipbuilder Perini Navi, the yacht has a steel hull that’s easier to repair in faraway places than aluminum or other materials. After undergoing six months of upgrades and participating in the Perini Navi Cup in Sardinia, the Aquarius began a circumnavigation of the world in 2019.

Carson

Length: 149 feet. Max speed: 12 knots. Owned by Randy Ringhaver, the chairman and CEO of Ring Power Corporation, a Florida-based Caterpillar dealer, the Carson was built by Newcastle Marine at a shipyard in Palatka, Florida, in 2015. The interior, however, was designed by Hodgdon Yachts of East Boothbay, located on the Damariscotta River. One of Maine’s oldest shipbuilding companies, Hodgdon has been building everything from schooners to military vessels to superyachts since 1816. The schooner Bowdoin, built by Hodgdon in 1921 for explorer Donald MacMillan, has made 29 trips above the Arctic Circle, and is now owned by the Maine Maritime Academy.
