Arlene Gibbs, the Sotheby's real estate agent who brokered the deal, couldn't immediately be reached for comment on Saturday but said in a statement that she was "honored" to represent the Rosenshein family, who has owned the club since the late 1970s. 

"I was honored to represent the wonderful Rosenshein family in this important transaction and help to secure the buyers, who will now begin the club's next chapter and create a new vision for this waterfront jewel on the Long Island Sound," Gibbs said in a statement. "It's a beach lover's paradise in a setting like no other, right outside New York City."

When reached by phone on Saturday, Mamaroneck Mayor Tom Murphy said, "Since the land is zoned for marine recreation, the village looks forward to working with the new owner to facilitate running a club in a responsible fashion providing quasi-public access to the waterfront."

The Mamaroneck Beach and Yacht Club is located at the end of S. Barry Avenue, on the tip of the peninsula overlooking the Long Island Sound.

We enjoyed the most memorable wedding celebration at Mamaroneck Beach & Yacht Club. We truly can not say enough about Bob McSweeney, Rosemary and the entire staff including Abby the bridal attendant. From start to finish the service was amazing, the food unbelievable and all of the guests raved about the entire event. Thank you all! The E Family!!!

I feel compelled to write a review as a new member . The new owners have done an incredible job turning this most beautiful property around . They are personally involved in every detail. New flowers have been planted all over and look great. It is one of the nicest properties on the sound. My kids are now playing tennis and love the pros. The docks were redone over the winter and are great . It's a great place that has been restored to its former glory . Food is great too !

New owners this year whom have been spending a fortune to fix the place up which is evident throughout the grounds. They have rebuilt all of the cabanas, installed new showers and changing areas by the pool, new tennis locker room with lunge area, refurbished the entire pool area, replaced the main clubhouse roof and made the grounds nicer with new plantings, adding new grass area and replacing all the playground equipment. I was there today as guests of members and the entire staff was attentive and extremely nice. The new owners and management were everywhere on the grounds making sure not only the guests were happy but that the staff were happy and being treated well, which is a nice sign. It is evident the new ownership and management know the hospitality business and what it takes to keep members happy and to make a nice piece of property well served for a club. Lifeguard staff raking the beach throughout the day and making sure the kids playing in the water were safe. Definitely a Yacht, tennis and beach club on the up and up.

Racist racist racist! After visiting multiple venues this was the worst sales pitch I had. The sales lady is the most craziest person I've ever met. She started by low balling me at $90 a person plus all they're taxes and fees. Which sounds great.. Right? Nope she crossed off half the things they offer. She didn't even bother to state the rest. Who is she to tell me what I want or what j can afford. What topped it off was when she stated.. "I don't know where your from but we offer burgers and tacos"... I told you she was crazy. I just wanted to walk out the room. Then she mentioned the $2500 down payment once again. Which proved to me what she just said was perfectly fine. Clearly I won't be getting married here. The outdoor area is what your really paying for. The interior is out of date and needs to be renovated. For such a great view the venue does it absolutely no justice.

Dear Enanuel, First, we would like to congratulate you on your upcoming marriage. This is a very exciting time. I'm so sorry to hear that you were unhappy with your visit to MBYC. Everyone visiting MBYC or considering an event here should have a flawless and welcoming experience. Please let us know if you would like to schedule another appointment with us, and we can share with you the full range of options here. I hope you will consider giving us another chance. Regardless of your choice, we wish you the very best and are certain that your event will be a wonderful one!

The tennis program is fabulous so friendly Roman and the staff are the best. The beach is breathtaking and they serve food on the beach. I'm so glad I joined

Unresponsive and unprofessional. My fiance and I toured the venue a few weeks back with an unprofessional, unprepared teenager. Despite that we were still interested. We reached out to receive a formal proposal, no response. Three emails later and still nothing. We were actually interested in booking, but their staff doesn't seem to care. Why should giving a venue my money be so difficult? If they are this unprofessional now, I can't even imagine how bad it would have been during our wedding day. Don't waste your time.

For Mamaroneck Yacht Club, a Decade of Clashing Views on Preserving Vistas

Boat slips at the Mamaroneck Beach & Yacht Club, which was put on the market in April.

At the club’s peak, about 300 families had memberships. That number has steadily fallen to barely 100.

To revive the club, Lisa Rosenshein’s father, Bernard, came up with the idea a decade ago to build seasonal apartments in place of many of the cabanas.

By Matt A.V. Chaban

• May 4, 2015

MAMARONECK, N.Y. — Even on a quiet weekday afternoon in April, sloops, schooners, motorboats and yachts glide out through the mouth of the river that gives this village of 20,000 on Long Island Sound its name. Just as traffic picks up on the roads after work, the waters become more crowded — sailors who happen to be lawyers, bankers and plumbers sneaking in one good float before dinner.

“Welcome to paradise,” Lisa Rosenshein said, standing on the wraparound deck of the Mamaroneck Beach & Yacht Club . “What more could you ask for?”

A lot more, it turns out. Her family has owned the club, with its squat concrete cabanas framing the regal clubhouse, a former manor designed by Stanford White , since 1979. Membership peaked around that time and has steadily fallen from about 300 families to barely a third of that today.

To revive the club, Ms. Rosenshein’s father, Bernard, came up with the idea a decade ago to build seasonal apartments in place of many of the cabanas, a remnant from when the estate became a club in 1952. They would rise alongside a new health club, a boathouse and an expansion of the clubhouse, which would return it to its former grandeur; a fire in 1971 reduced the manor from three stories to two.

“Clubs are struggling, people are traveling, they’re socializing differently,” Ms. Rosenshein said, “and we’re trying to figure out what people are expecting from a 21st-century club.”

Yet one person’s lifeboat may be another’s destroyer. The club’s plan to save itself has spawned years of protests, public review and litigation — a not-in-my-backwater battle over property rights, development and whether a sleepy institution should be required to remain just that.

“We’ve seen it happen in Greenwich, we’ve seen it happen in Larchmont, we’ve seen it happen up and down the sound,” said Keith Waitt, who lives across Otter Creek from the club and has expansive views of the sound that could be blocked. “Once the development starts, it can be hard to stop it, and before you know it, the public waterfront is gone.”

In the 1980s, not long after the Rosensheins bought their club, the village began formalizing a waterfront revitalization plan for this community of Gilded Age estates on the water and unassuming middle- and upper-middle-class homes farther inland.

The goal was to preserve the three yacht clubs around the harbor — Mamaroneck Beach & Yacht Club and two on the south side of the river — and a number of boat yards, yacht brokerages and other maritime uses lining the waterfront. As a result, none of the properties could undertake commercial development not directly tied to boating.

Whether the seasonal residences the Rosensheins have proposed fit this mold or break it has created numerous disputes and lawsuits. The 18 units, down from an initial 60, would range in size from roughly 500 to 1,200 square feet, with kitchenettes and one to two bedrooms. They would be available only from April through November, which is seen as ensuring they do not become permanent residences.

Ms. Rosenshein said they would offer an alternative for families who wanted an easier escape than the Hamptons, and an option for former snowbirds who have retired to the South but still wanted a place to stay during the summers.

But that violates the letter, or at least the spirit, of the waterfront plan, said Dan Natchez, president of the Shore Acres Neighborhood Association. Why, he asked, should the yacht club be offering overnight accommodation “if these clubs were established to benefit the local community, if that is why the zoning exists as it does?”

Yard signs declaring no “Condos on Our Creek” line South Barry Road, the main access point to the club (and one that becomes quite busy during weddings and bar mitzvahs there).

Ms. Rosenshein bristles whenever she drives past the signs. “They’re not condos,” she said. “They’re rentals, and they’re not being built on the creek.”

The opponents fear a domino effect. If Mamaroneck Beach & Yacht Club builds residences to be used for eight months, another club or boat yard might attempt development that is even more permissive, and before long, no maritime users will be left. They point to the nearby Hampshire Country Club, whose current owners have begun pressing the village to allow the construction of 121 condos on a section of the property, which would keep its golf course intact, or else they would begin plans to replace the entire course with 106 single-family homes.

As for the Rosensheins, their adversaries say their promise of closing the homes in the off-season is not to be believed. They cite a history of what they call untrustworthy behavior, including the illegitimate creation of a breakwater for the marina without a permit and the fact that of the roughly 150 events held at the club a year, many appear to be for nonmembers. The 1985 waterfront plan allows for at most 20 percent of income from events, but the club’s tax returns show the catering business brings in millions more than memberships do.

Ms. Rosenshein said she had all the necessary approvals for additional events, and she held up the club’s success six times in court as evidence that it was operating aboveboard. After settlement of the most recent lawsuit, the club is waiting for final approval from the village board; it already has preliminary approval.

“Any community that doesn’t grow will die from atrophy,” said Mayor Norman Rosenblum, who supports the plan, “but you can’t destroy the character of the village that people moved here for in the first place. I think we’ve struck the right balance.”

Two weeks ago, the Rosensheins began quietly marketing the property, along with the blueprints and the approvals they had spent a decade fighting for. “We’re exploring all our options,” said Ms. Rosenshein, whose father died in 2011 and who splits ownership with two sisters. “This was really Dad’s thing, and we’re looking for new opportunities.”

Some neighbors have settled their differences with the club, but others still have reservations. If a developer buys it, “who knows what they will try to do,” Mr. Waitt said.

Mamaroneck speaks up about yacht club litigation, rumors and reports on possible settlement make residents speak up at bot meeting., sandra larriva , patch staff.

Village of Mamaroneck residents offered a clear message to the Board of Trustees on Monday: Don't settle, at least not yet.

At issue were rumors and reports that the Village was considering reaching a settlement soon with the Mamaroneck Beach and Yacht Club (MBYC) on the club's construction plans.

"Mayor Norm Rosenblum said he is trying to bring every outstanding lawsuit against the village to a close 'as quickly as possible,' but that the priority right now is settling the case involving the club," reported the Journal News last week, adding that an attorney representing the club said his client was hopeful that a deal could be reached "in three to four weeks" and they had agreed to "stop the clock on all litigation until middle of February.

Find out what's happening in Larchmont-Mamaroneck with free, real-time updates from Patch.

Village Attorney Christie Derrico downplayed reports, saying " a large portion of what you are reading is a total mischaracterization and not true."

The History

The back and fourth litigation between the Village and the club has been going on for several years, starting when MBYC submitted a site plan for 32 seasonal housing units to the Village Planning Board in 2002. A year later, the Board issued a moratorium on issuing approvals to conduct a zoning review in the area.

Next, in 2005, MBYC filed a $30 million lawsuit against the Village's Planning Board and building inspector for delaying its construction plans and causing a loss of revenue. In 2006-7, the State Supreme Court gave the Planning Board 30 days to review MBYC's application, holding that the board was prolonging the review because of a local group's firm opposition to the plan (the local group being the Shore Acres Property Association).

The Board  responded by declaring itself the lead agency under the New York State Environmental Quality Review Act (SEQRA) and, having conducted a year-long Environmental Impact Study (EIS), issued a document allowing MBYC to build 12 seasonal housing units as part of the clubhouse. It did not approve the club's additional plan for 20 units on Otter Creek, a critical environmental area according to local experts, and the Long Island Sound.

The club then filed an Article 78 proceeding, which allowed it to appeal the board's decision according to New York State law. The court is expected to deliver a decision on this case on or around Feb. 5 of this year.

Tom Murphy, a former board member, thinks there's a very good chance that the court is going to decide in favor of the village, so he doesn't think the Board should settle now. "I can see how the club wants to rush, but not the Village," he said.

Finally, there's a second Article 78 motion by the club to bring the board and building inspector to approve the original site plan by default. This last motion was dismissed by the New York Supreme Court in the village's favor in September 2009.

In addition to all this, the owner of the MBYC, Bernard Rosenshein, is looking for a reduction in the property's taxes. "Mr. Rosenshein has filed a certiorari on his property every year for the 50 years I've lived here," said Alan Wood, a long-time village resident who has served on numerous boards and commissions.

The Opposition

Out of the seven people who spoke on Monday, some where members of the local group fiercely opposing the club's site plan (mentioned above), but some were not.

"It's only a small number of Shore Acres residents who are rich who care about this MBYC issue," was one of the three "myths to the board" that Shore Acres Drive resident Len Aubrey wished to lay bare on Monday.

Aubrey, the president of the Shore Acres Property Association, said that the landmark waterfront legislation put together by "Democrats and Republicans, conservatives and liberals" 25 years ago has served the community well. (He refers to the Local Waterfront Revitalization Program and another rule regarding zoning and the waterfront.)

"The owner of the MBYC, since mid 1980s, has filed lawsuits against this village to strike down that legislation," he said. "Throughout that period...members of this board, Democrats and Republicans, have opposed those efforts."

Myth number two, he said, is that Rosenshein wants to support the village, "so much so that he is willing to give jobs to local contractors." Aubrey then referred to the 12 residential units approved by the board, "more residential units than any club 50 miles up and 50 miles down the coast from this point... If Mr Rosenshein really cared about our village he would have gone and started building that project just about the time the recession hit."

The club's case, officials say, was founded on the claim that there was a demand from members and staff for the units to be built. Why then, in the four and a half years that I've been addressing this board [of trustees] and the planning board, asked Aubrey, "not once has this room been filled with yacht club members in support of this project?"

The third myth is that the village must settle. "In my view, we've already settled," said Aubrey, referring once again to the 12 approved units.

Village Mayor Norman Rosenblum explained to Aubrey that the Board of Trustees had given directions to its legal representatives and that they were currently handling the issue. "But eventually it will come back to this board and this board will make a decision upon their recommendations."

Derrico followed, adding that the board was striving to review all legal matters, "but the stand is still the same, to support the village and do what's in the best interest of the village."

Next spoke former village trustee Nick Allison, who asked the Board of Trustees to wait until February, when the court is expected to decide on one of the legal actions.

Cindy Golub, a village resident for 19 years, expressed concern over an ad seen in Florida in which the club advertised the units in question in this litigation. The original site plan claimed that the units would be for members only, officials said.

"How do we prevent this project from turning into a back door way to simply evade village law and create a condo development  where a club is supposed to exist?" she said.

Alan Wood spoke directly to the Mayor. "And I hope you take it to heart, Mr. Rosensh...blum," said Wood, lightening up the audience, if at least for a few seconds. "As you promised me this would be a straight administration, if you give into this, especially before we hear from the judge, we really have a cause for action, and it would not be pleasant."

Mayor Rosenblum explained that the situation had nothing to do with one, two or an entire group of residents of Shore Acres, but with the well-being of the entire village, and that everyone would be taken into account in the board's decision.

"I for one, who am a life-long resident, my mother was born here, I find it abhorrent...in situations where individuals and groups try to split up this village," he said. "That will not happen while I am major."

Former members of the board spoke as well, reviewing the "painstaking" process they followed 25 years ago to create legislation that would protect the waterfront and emphasizing the importance of following the precedents and work by people of the village.

"I've traveled around this country, I've boated around this country; it is one of the most unique harbors we have in this country and it's worth preserving," said Bill Shaner, Soundview Drive resident. "It bears an investment in that future."

Unveiling ⁢the Legacy of Norman ⁣Chapman

When one thinks ⁢of influential figures in the ⁣world of art⁢ and⁢ design, Norman Chapman may not ‌be the first name ⁤that comes ⁣to ⁤mind. However, ‍his contributions to the field have left a lasting impact that is ⁣still felt today. Known for his innovative and forward-thinking⁢ approach,⁤ Chapman’s work pushed the boundaries of traditional design​ and paved the way for future generations‍ of artists.

• Chapman’s ⁤early ‌work in the 1950s was marked by his unique use of color⁢ and form. He was⁢ not afraid ‍to experiment⁢ with different ​mediums and techniques, resulting​ in‌ a body of work ‍that ‍was both⁣ diverse​ and⁣ cohesive.
• His later work in the 1970s‌ and 1980s saw a shift towards ‍more minimalist designs,⁣ with a focus on ⁢functionality and simplicity. Despite this change in style, Chapman’s work remained distinctly⁣ his own, with a strong‌ emphasis on craftsmanship ​and attention ⁢to detail.

In addition to his contributions ⁣to the world of art and design, Chapman was also a respected educator. ‍He taught ​at several prestigious ⁣institutions, ‌including the Rhode Island⁢ School of Design and​ the Art​ Institute ⁤of Chicago . His teachings have influenced countless artists and designers, ⁢many of whom have gone on to achieve ⁢great success ‍in their own right.

Chapman’s legacy ​continues to inspire and influence ⁢the art⁤ and design world. His work is a reminder that creativity knows no⁤ bounds, and that true innovation ⁣comes from⁤ breaking away from the‌ expected and ⁤embracing the ⁤unknown.

Exploring the ‍Impact of‌ Chapman’s Work on Modern Art

Norman Chapman’s work is often seen ​as a‌ bridge between ‍the⁣ traditional and the contemporary, blending classical techniques with modern⁣ themes. His influence on the art world can ⁢be seen‍ in⁢ numerous ways,‌ from the way he​ approached⁤ color and ‌form, to⁣ his ⁤innovative use of materials. ⁤Chapman’s⁣ work ​challenged ‍the norms of his‍ time, pushing the boundaries of what was considered acceptable ⁣in⁣ the art ⁢world.

One⁢ of⁢ the most significant impacts of Chapman’s work is his exploration‌ of ‌the human form.⁣ He was known⁢ for his bold and ‌expressive ⁤use ‌of line,⁣ creating ‍dynamic ⁤and⁤ powerful figures⁤ that resonated with‌ viewers.⁢ Chapman’s work also often included elements of abstraction, blending ​realism with more conceptual ideas. ‌This approach ‍has ⁢inspired many⁤ contemporary artists, who have taken Chapman’s ideas and expanded​ on them in ⁤their own work.

• Use of vibrant and bold colors
• Innovative‌ approach to⁤ mixed media
• Exploration‌ of⁤ social and⁢ political ⁣themes

Chapman’s legacy can also be seen ⁢in‌ the way he approached the role of the artist in society. He ⁣was⁢ known ​for his activism and used his ⁢art as a platform to⁣ address social and political ‌issues. This ⁤has encouraged ‍many​ modern artists ‌to use‍ their work as a ‍means of⁤ sparking conversation and effecting change. Chapman’s work continues to ⁢be an⁤ important influence in the‌ art world,​ inspiring ‌artists to push the‌ limits of‌ what is ⁢possible.

Norman​ Chapman: A Pioneer in ‌Abstract Expressionism

Norman Chapman was a trailblazer ​in‌ the world ⁢of ⁤abstract ‍expressionism. His⁢ bold use of color, texture,⁣ and form set ⁣him⁢ apart from ⁢his contemporaries and​ established him as a ‌leader in ‌the‌ movement. ‌His ⁣innovative techniques and⁢ fearless ⁤experimentation with new materials pushed the boundaries of what was considered “acceptable” in‌ the art world.

Chapman’s early ⁢work‍ was heavily influenced⁢ by ‍the likes of ​Jackson Pollock and Willem de ​Kooning, but he quickly⁢ developed his own unique style. His large-scale canvases⁣ were filled with ⁣dynamic, gestural brushstrokes and ‍a vibrant palette ‍that captured ⁣the energy ​and⁤ emotion of⁤ the post-war era.

• Inspired by⁢ jazz music, Chapman⁣ often painted to the sounds of‍ bebop and hard bop, infusing his work with a sense of rhythm and movement.
• He was also known for ‍his⁣ use ‍of non-traditional ⁣materials, such ⁤as sand ⁤and broken⁤ glass, which added texture and ⁤depth to⁣ his pieces.
• Despite ⁣facing criticism from more traditional art critics, Chapman remained steadfast in⁢ his vision and⁣ continued to push the ‌limits of abstract⁣ expressionism.

Chapman’s impact​ on​ the art world cannot be understated. ⁤His influence can be ⁤seen in the work of countless artists who followed in his footsteps, and his paintings continue to ‍be celebrated ‍in galleries and museums ‍around the world.

Through his work, Norman Chapman⁤ challenged ‌viewers to‌ see beyond the traditional boundaries ‍of art‍ and to find beauty in ‌the chaos and complexity of the abstract world.

Mamaroneck Beach & Yacht Club Wedding

“We met on the rooftop of our building. It was an unseasonably warm March day, but since it was midweek, Adam and I were the only two people outside.I remember getting outside being so excited to get out in the sun, only to realize it was too early in the year for the lounge chairs to be set up. Adam must have seen me looking frantically for somewhere to lay, and came up to me to help me bring a lounge chair outside. We struck up conversation and had a really easy time talking to each other and getting to know one another. I remember going home and trying to google him and look him up. I couldn’t remember his last name so I was busy searching for key words to find him! Later that night he called me and asked me out to dinner. I remember being shocked that he actually called instead of texted. It was refreshing to see someone actually put a little effort into it.”

The Mamaroneck Beach & Yacht Club is one of our favorite wedding venues to shoot in Westchester County, NY. With their beautiful nautical dock, their beach, a shaded tree area, and the Club itself, it gives our couples a diversified portfolio of images for their wedding day.

Danielle and Adam’s Mamaroneck Beach & Yacht Club wedding was one of our favorites to date! Everything happened at the Mamaroneck Beach & Yacht Club, from Danielle and Adam’s preps, to their first look (which we did on the dock), to the photo sessions, ceremony, and reception.

Although the weather started rainy, by their first look the rain stopped and we were left with a nice blanket of overcast skies. We enjoyed getting to know Danielle, Adam, their parents and siblings, and of course, their friends! We wish them nothing but happiness!

Its climatic advantages, its quiet, sequestered site, and its ample acreage for outdoor recreation are ideal.

Mamaroneck, New York

A MARINE PARADISE

A peninsula of privacy.

No site could have been better chosen to unite in a single setting the diverse appeals of sea, country and town. The property is located on the East side of the entrance to Mamaroneck Harbor, in the Village of Mamaroneck, Westchester County, New York. It is just south of the section known as Shore Acres, at the extreme Southerly end of Barry Avenue, and is very easily located after reaching Mamaroneck...the first turn to the right, off the Boston Post Road, leads right into it. It is literally a private peninsula surrounded by sea water on three sides, and combines a foreground of sea and a background of hills within forty minutes from Manhattan. Here, if ever, one may enlist two sources of happiness at one time, on an estate that is...

Take a sneak peek at the biggest and most expensive boats at 2024's Palm Beach yacht show

• The Palm Beach International Boat Show kicks off later this week.
• Eight megayachts are expected to be on display for would-be buyers and charter customers.
• These are the show's biggest yachts — and how many millions of dollars they are going for.

The Palm Beach International Boat Show — the yacht world's flashiest event stateside — is returning this year with over 800 boats for both deep-pocked potential owners and window shoppers to peruse.

While it's impossible to know what exactly will be on display until the show begins on Thursday, it's expected that eight megayachts — generally defined as ships over 60 meters long — will be docked at the show and at nearby marinas like the Rybovich Marina in the ritzy Florida town.

Some of these are for sale at eye-popping prices, but others are available to if in case you fancy living like a billionaire for a week or two this summer (and if you have six figures to spare on a vacation).

These are the eight biggest yachts that will be at the Palm Beach International Boat Show and nearby marinas, in size order.

Nero: 90.1 meters

Price: From $497,000 a week (charter)

Standout features: Pizza ovens, beauty salon, massage room, resistance pool

Reportedly owned by Irish billionaire Denis O'Brien, Nero is modeled after J.P. Morgan's 1930s ship , and was built in 2007 and updated in 2021.

She now boasts a gym on her sundeck with multiple cardio machines and a beauty salon, and has an on-board beautician for manicure, pedicure, hair, and massage needs. There's also an upgraded movie theater, two new pizza ovens, and both a pool and a jacuzzi.

For those who want to go overboard, she has more than a dozen toys, including a waterslide, Jet Ski, and flyboard.

Victorious: 85 meters

Price: From $876,600 a week in the summer and $950,000 a week in the winter

Standout features: Hammam (Turkish bath), wine cellar, wood-burning fireplace, children's playroom

Victorious brings a party vibe to the yacht show. With a beach club on board, a wine cellar, a cigar clubroom , multiple bars, and a lounge with a piano, the vessel is made for entertaining. Plus, there's a playroom and movie theater to entertain the kids.

For tamer charter clients, Victorious has a suite of wellness features such as a gym, massage room, beauty salon and hammam, or Turkish bath — perhaps a custom request of her owner, Turkish businessman Vural Ak.

She also boasts a treasure trove of water toys, including Jet Skis, jetsurfs, inflatable kayaks, and scuba equipment.

Casino Royale: 72 meters

Special Features: Infinity pool, helipad, private jacuzzi

Purchased and refitted by car dealer magnate John Staluppi last year, Casino Royale is the latest of his James Bond-inspired yachts (he's also owned an Octopussy and a Skyfall, among others).

Casino Royale has a helipad that turns into a dancefloor, an infinity pool, and a wellness center with a gym and sauna. The owner's cabin has its own deck, which features a private bar and jacuzzi.

However, the boat's price isn't listed, and while she's not necessarily officially for sale, that might change depending on who's prepared to buy, Mr. Bond.

Talisman C: 70.6 meters

Price: $60 million (or from $567,000 a week to charter)

Special features: Massage and beauty room, private library

Likely the largest yacht for sale (not just charter) at the show, the Talisman C is a 2011 six-bedroom boat. The owner's cabin comes with an en suite bathroom, dressing room, private library, and crystal chandeliers.

Amenities include a gym, a beauty room, oversized jacuzzi, and a fully equipped bar. Her crew of 19 includes a trained masseuse, and the toy room comes equipped with a wakeboard, eFoil , and WaveRunners.

Joy: 70 meters

Price: From $650,000 a week

Special features: Disco club, basketball court, onboard fitness instructor

Superyacht Joy testifies to the fact that owners want as many on-board experiences as they can get.

There's an expansive suite of fitness features, including a basketball court (don't shoot that hoop too hard!), a personal trainer on staff, boxing equipment, and a handful of machines. For post-workout winddowns, there's a spa with a steam room and onboard masseuse. And for entertainment, there's both an outdoor and indoor cinema, and a disco club.

Triumph: 65.4 meters

Price: From $707,600 a week in the summer and $650,000 a week in the winter

Special features: Sauna, helipad, banana boat

This 2021 superyacht is named after Triumph motorcycles — a reported favorite of her rumored owner, British businessman Chris Dawson — and even has one on display as an art piece in the upper deck's lounge. The primary suite is 1,400 square feet and has its own study , and there's a sauna, an indoor-outdoor gym, a helipad, and a massage room spread among her six decks.

She boasts an "armada of water toys," including two kinds of Jet Skis, electric water bikes, and a banana boat.

Seanna: 64.5 meters

Price: $54,000,000 (or from $462,000 a week to charter)

Special features: marble foyer, movie room, sundeck pool

The recently refurbished Seanna is available for sale and charter.

Her indoor-outdoor gym is on sea level so that passengers can take a dip after a session with the onboard personal trainer. There's also a sundeck pool, a helipad, a two-room massage facility, and, for the more cerebral guests, a library with an electric fireplace.

There are a number of toys on board, including a popular water trampoline and two WaveRunners.

Come Together: 60 meters

Price: $65,000,000

Special Features: DJ and videographer on board, ice bath, sauna

Next-to-new yacht Come Together is looking for a new owner after doing charters during the 2023 season.

The Beatles' influence is evident beyond the yacht's name, with guitars dotting the sky lounge and a crewmember who doubles as a DJ. There's also an outdoor cinema and bar for entertainment and an ice bath and sauna for the day after the party. The owner's suite has a private study and lounge, and each guest cabin has its own ensuite.

The sale includes a number of toys, like Jet Skis, kayaks, and Seabobs.
