ART ON THE WATER Yachts that double as aquatic masterpieces

BY DIANE M. BYRNE

SPIRITED AND SEXY

The head-turning gold paint on her exterior surfaces is your first hint that Dynamiq ’s GTT 135 Stefania strives for glamor. And glamorous she is, with an art deco interior that the owner created with Miami-based designer Giuseppina Arena. Since the yacht is the first delivery in the series, the shipyard can build you your own version, with remarkable flexibility for the interior and exterior designs. In fact, you can choose exclusive furnishings from the Bentley Home collection— materials and finishes that characterize the famed brand’s luxury cars. You can also request special helm accoutrements from German luxury car outfitter Klassen. bedynamiq.com

The Pershing 6X is the newest member of Pershing’s Generation X series of sleek sport yachts, with a bolder stance complemented by an audacious emphasis on speed. The big aft sun pad and large lounge, each fitted with a reclining backrest, clearly convey that this Italian-built yacht is for chasing sunshine. A large opening sunroof over the helm, where carbon fiber enhances the control panels and wheel, conveys a similar feeling. Luxurious touches like lacquered wood furnishings, parquet flooring, and leathers from Poltrona Frau and Mastrotto accentuate the allure too. Equally striking horizontal LED bars overhead add to the decor. pershing-yacht.com

AMERICAN HERITAGE

The 2022 Ford GT Heritage Edition pays homage to the company’s 1964 GT prototypes and legendary Le Mans wins. The midengine marvel delivers a deft, exhilarating ride. Its exclusive Wimbledon White paint resembles a blank canvas, and the triple racing stripe recalls the bold lines of a Mondrian painting. The Antimatter Blue-painted carbon-fiber wheels and Lightspeed Blue Alcantara seats are pure Americana. ford.com ENGINE:
