BOOK ENDS Yacht for Sale

Not for sale or charter to U.S. residents while in U.S. waters.

BOOK ENDS is a 164’ Heesen, delivered in 2022. She was crafted with an ultra-efficient hull shape and a curvy yet sporty exterior design. This powerful tri-deck motor yacht combines a dynamic profile with a spacious internal volume, hosting up to 12 guests in five luxurious staterooms.

Interior highlights include an innovative salon design with curved bulkheads separating the lounge and dining areas, a full beam owner’s suite on the main deck with a separate study, social semi-circular seating arrangements in the main salon and sky lounge, and four guest suites situated on the lower deck. The expanse of the interior blends everything in perfect symmetry and harmony.

Out on deck, the wrap-around glass and loose exterior furniture give the deck spaces use for generous seating while remaining airy, light, and well-detailed. The sprawling sundeck is comprised of forward lounge seating, a bar and dining area, and a jacuzzi and sun pads aft. Up here, you’ll never miss out on the vast ocean views. The walk-around bridge deck offers ample guest space with seating on the foredeck, and dining and entertaining space on the aft deck. The main deck has a huge expanse of sun pads, and aft on the lower deck there is a flex-use beach club that can be configured as a gym or lounge area. The fold-down transom extends the beach club when at anchor, making onboard relaxation even more inviting.

BOOK ENDS is unique yet elegant and is ideal for both island hopping and longer passages.

*Not for sale to US residents while in US waters.*

frette columbus yachts debut at the cannes yachting festival 2024

The most exciting yacht debuts at the 2024 Cannes Yachting Festival

Running from 10 to 15 September, the Cannes Yachting Festival consistently delivers one of the finest displays of yachts in the world. The lineup also tends to include several world-class premieres from shipyards eager to present their latest designs across Port Vieux and Port Canto. BOAT takes a closer look at some of the hottest debuts of 2024...

Builder : Tankoa Yachts Length : 45m

The largest debut so far, Go is the first unit in Tankoa's T450 series and was handed over to her "young" North American owner in July 2024. Several customisations were requested for the model, including larger windows on the main deck and a longer upper deck saloon. These alterations increased the interior volume from 435GT to 450GT. Other highlights include a hydromassage tub on the sundeck, an upper deck gym and firepit and a sliding sunpad that closes the swimming pool during navigation. Exterior design is by Giorgio M. Cassetta .

Builder : Cantiere delle Marche Length : 44.3m

Sold to an experienced German owner, Maverick is the inaugural vessel among a trio of Flexplorer 146 yachts. She has been described as a "true explorer vessel", featuring a robust exterior by Hydro Tec , a custom-built A-frame crane and a 22-millimetre ice-belt above and below the waterline to ensure safe navigation at the highest latitudes. On the leisure side, a large infinity pool is included on the aft deck, which can be covered and used as storage for deck furniture when underway. Other features include a gym, a sauna and a diving centre.

Builder : Ocean King Length : 40.4m

This unit has been pledged to an "esteemed" Italian owner and was last seen publicly ahead of her sea trials . Her rugged, explorer-style exterior is by Design ALot Studio, while naval architecture is owed to inNave . All social spaces are well connected, including a formal dining room on the upper deck which leads into the sun deck with its bar and swimming pool. Meanwhile, a large beach club with two fold-out balconies will allow guests easy access to the sea. Accommodation is for 10 guests, including a master cabin forward on the main deck arranged with an en suite bathroom and private study.

Builder: AB Yachts Length: 39m

With a beam of 7.5 metres, the AB125's sporty profile belies an impressive internal volume which the Italians shipyard claims will be “even more generous” than its 220GT predecessor, the AB120. Key to this unit's design is convertible on board space. The sliding doors of the salon, once open, connect the interiors and exteriors and integrate the salon, aft cockpit and beach area into one 140-square-metre area. Like her predecessor, she will be able to reach an eye-watering top speed of 40 knots and navigate incredibly shallow ports and anchorages, as seen in the Bahamas and the Caribbean.

Builder : Custom Line Length : 38.8m

Telli was launched in February 2024 as the first unit in the Navetta 38 series. The new model was created from a desire to temper the nautical tradition of the Navetta series with a young, sporty style, according to design studio Citterio Viel . There is also a focus on indoor-outdoor connection seen best in the 70-square-metre beach area and the glazing that circles the sundeck, which measures an impressive 15 metres long. Accommodation is split across five cabins, including a main deck owner's cabin of over 40 square metres.

Builder : Pendennis Length : 34.9m

This highly-anticipated compact explorer yacht was delivered from Pendennis ' yard in Falmouth this May. Her name, Fox , is owed to Falmouth's famous inventor Robert Were Fox the Younger, a 19th-century scientist who invented a special type of compass which ultimately allowed exploration (and the discovery of) the South Pole. The newly built explorer yacht 's interior and exterior styling is by Q London, with highlights including a 103.5-square-metre open aft deck, as well as a DJ station, a glass-walled sky lounge and a dedicated wine fridge. Accommodation encompasses a full-beam main deck master cabin and a further four en suite cabins.

Builder : Van der Valk Length : 34.1m

One was commissioned by experienced owners who have spent more than three decades on the water. Their brief was to "blend their own design with a proven hull form" and they initially wanted a larger yacht, but a compromise was reached to hit "Van der Valk’s sweet spot for a slightly smaller size". Her functional exterior is owed to Guido de Groot , while the interior is the work of Carla Guilhem . With its skylounge, main deck saloon and multifunctional beach club-cum-sports-garage, the configuration revolves around entertaining large groups of people. Accommodation is across five staterooms, including a full-beam master on the main deck.

Builder : AB Yachts Length : 33.5m

Characterised by a sporty exterior and eye-watering maximum speed of 45 knots, this model is the first in a new range designed entirely by Archea Associati . According to the shipyard, the AB110 remains unchanged from previous models in terms of performances, noiselessness and the absence of any vibration while further increasing on board liveability and comfort. Imagery is undisclosed but her interiors have been described as loft-like, "charming" and defined by an "all-pervading brightness" as a result of generous glazing on the main deck.

Builder : Numarine Length : 30.7m

The first hull in Turkish yard Numarine 's 30XP series will make her world debut at Cannes. The first Numarine yacht to be fitted with hybrid propulsion, Minella has been designed inside and out by Can Yalman , although an alternative version of the interiors has been created in collaboration with Istanbul-based Ofist Design Studio. The design philosophy is "inspired by a sustainable, Scandinavian design aesthetic". Accommodation is for up to 10 guests across five en suite cabins, comprising four guest cabins on the lower deck and a master cabin on the main deck forward.

DreamCatcher

Builder : Nautor Swan Length : 28.3m

First revealed in 2021 at a virtual press conference, DreamCatcher was delivered to her owner in July this year. She is the Finnish shipyard's first hybrid sailing yacht with "feminine exterior lines" penned by veteran Swan designer German Frers . Described as a "no-compromise cruiser with a racer soul", she has a draught of four metres, with options for a shallow-draught, telescopic and performance keel. Her warm, classic interiors are the work of Misa Poggi , with accommodation for 10 guests, comprising an owner’s cabin located forward and four guest en suite cabins. 

Builder : Wider Yachts Length : 28m

Italian shipyard Wider Yachts ' first multihull offering, Acali , was designed in collaboration with Luca Dini and built to RINA class. Offering large interior volumes, highlights come in the form of a dedicated owner's deck, an expansive beach club and a hybrid propulsion system. The owner's suite has a private foredeck lounge, while the tender garage can transform into a spacious swim platform. The 67-square-metre beach club benefits from fold-down bulwarks, direct access to the VIP cabin and discreet water toy storage. Accommodation on the 28-metre composite catamaran is for eight guests across four cabins with further provision for a crew of four.

Builder : Sanlorenzo Length : 27.9m

This sporty model is the second in the Italian shipyard’s new smart performance (SP) line, following in the footsteps of the 33-metre SP110 which BOAT International visited last year . Initial renderings reveal a split-level saloon, floor-to-ceiling glazing and a spacious owner's suite arranged with a separate lounge and glass wardrobe. Accommodation is for up to eight guests and four crew, while other key numbers include 7.1-metre beam, a draught of 1.2 metres and a maximum speed of 40 knots.

Builder : Otam Length : 27.8m

As the flagship of the yard’s Fast and Iconic series, Sexy Me is said to have a "big-boat mentality" in spite of its compact footprint and loadline measuring under 24 metres. In close collaboration with Otam, Giuseppe Bagnardi of BG Design Firm is responsible for exterior styling, resulting in custom details including a helm console inspired by the world of F1 racing cars. The Otam 90 GTS series is fully customisable at the engineering level and Sexy Me is the semi-open version, devised to accommodate a large number of guests on board with a full-beam master suite, VIP cabin and guest cabin.
