With the Fort Lauderdale Internatioal Boat Show 2015 countdown now on, here are six of the best yachts making their debut in Florida.

Kismet Lürssen

Fort Lauderdale

Sybass Slip 4

Why is she so special? Delivered this time last year to her owner, Kismet is making her long-awaited public debut. Elegant yet masculine styling from Espen Øino is complemented by a “champagne and caviar” themed interior by Reymond Langton Design, with a brief to create the perfect party venue yet still double as a family retreat.

Look out for Almost impossible to narrow it down, but the top deck with informal alfresco dining, swimming pool, rock garden and observation area in the mast structure really stand out.

DATA LOA: 95.2m. Beam: 13.5m. Top speed: 16.9 knots. Range: 6,000 miles @ 12 knots. Guests: 14. Crew: 27.

 

Rock.It Feadship

Fort Lauderdale

Sybass Slip 3

Why is she so special? The owner’s brief for a striking, innovative and sporty-looking yacht has been brilliantly visualised by Sinot Exclusive Yacht Design. Rich woods and light stones on the inside create a modern yet classic interior. Mahogany, sycamore, back-lit pure white onyx and many different types of marble throughout the guest areas give the yacht a regal feel.

Look out for The skylight in the sundeck canopy, which automatically dims when the overhead sun becomes too strong, allowing for a comfortable amount of natural light all day long.

DATA LOA: 60.4m. Beam: 10.8m. Guests: 10. Crew: 12.
