Project Icecap: Secretive 107m Lürssen project begins sea trials

The highly confidential 107 metre superyacht Project Icecap has embarked on its first round of sea trials. 

The yacht was spotted leaving the dock at Peene-Werft, a shipyard in north-eastern Germany that forms part of Lürssen’s naval division.

Project Icecap has remained largely out of the spotlight until July this year when she was spotted in the open for the first time. The project was originally sold in March 2018 by Moran Yacht & Ship and the brokerage firm is project managing the construction.

The yacht's exterior design comes from Norwegian studio Salt Ship Design and first images revealed a sharply inverted bow and large open aft deck fitted with tender cradles that can also function as a helipad.

The steel and aluminium yacht features a total interior volume of more than 6,500GT and is expected to offer accommodation for up to 20 guests split across ten cabins.

In the past, Moran also revealed that Project Icecap will be powered by a diesel-electric propulsion system and will feature state-of-the-art energy saving, power storage, heating and cooling systems. 

Moran also indicated the yacht would have a helipad, beach club and three fixed terraces built into the stacked forward superstructure. 

Project Icecap joins seven other superyachts measuring over 100 metres under construction at Lürssen, including the 146 metre Opera and the recently spotted Project Alibaba .

Once delivered, Project Icecap will become of the world's largest superyachts , sitting somewhere around number 48 on the leaderboard.

Take a look at the superyacht the Jefferies CEO just bought from the Houston Rockets' billionaire owner

• Jefferies CEO Rich Handler sold $65 million of stock — some of which he used to buy a superyacht.
• He purchased Boardwalk from billionaire friend and client Tilman Fertitta.
• Here's a look at the multimillion-dollar superyacht.

Earlier this week, Jefferies CEO Rich Handler sold $65 million worth of stock in the investment bank — enough to warrant a press release — partly to buy a yacht from his friend and client, hospitality billionaire and Houston Rockets owner Tilman Fertitta .

"My sale of shares today was a gift to myself and my family," Handler said in the release.

It's a pretty good gift. The boat in question is a 50-meter superyacht named Boardwalk.

According to the yacht's shipyard, Westport Yachts, the off-market deal was pending as of last month. The sale price isn't public.

Boardwalk, which is currently moored in Fort Lauderdale, Florida , was originally delivered in 2010. She features a spa pool and helipad on her sun deck, as well as multiple bars and 15 bathrooms, of which at least one has a television. The master cabin has a dressing room and a private study, and there are scooters on board to make getting around easier — and more fun.

She can fit 12 guests and 12 crew members, according to industry source SuperYacht Times .

"It isn't cheap, I can tell you that. I just love it," Fertitta told a local ABC affiliate in 2017, referring to Boardwalk's $40 million price tag.

While Boardwalk is technically part of "a series" — one of a fleet of boats built by the shipyard of this size and general design — Fertitta made many custom adjustments, adding lights throughout and opening up spaces to create a less formal feel, he told Yachts International in 2011.

Handler has been a guest on the yacht before, landing on its deck via helicopter when it was moored in St. Barts , according to a video posted on Fertitta's Instagram account in 2018.

"It's a shame when you have to pick your friends up to come see you. This is @handlerrich roughin' it to the @boardwalk164," he wrote in the caption.

View this post on Instagram A post shared by Tilman J. Fertitta (@tilmanfertitta)

"It's one of those things that I've always wanted and I'll always have," Fertitta said during the 2017 interview.

While he won't always have this exact boat, Fertitta, who is worth $9.3 billion, per Forbes, will likely always have a yacht and appears to have traded up.

He teased his new, fully custom vessel — a 77-meter giant built by Dutch shipyard Feadship — in 2019. It was delivered in 2021 and is also named Boardwalk.

The new Boardwalk has a more modern design. The gym has a Peloton and a Mirror ; there's a sauna and beauty salon; and there are six sit-down bars — appropriate for a hospitality billionaire.

"This takes it to a whole new level," his son, Michael, told Boat International .

Looks like Handler still has something to aspire to.

How a submersible became the ultimate status symbol for superyacht owners.

• Share to Facebook
• Share to Twitter
• Share to Linkedin

Triton Submarines is one of the major players in the submersibles arena

The days when an expensive watch or bag would impress your peers is gone. Now, status symbols revolve around exclusivity and one-of-a-kind experiences. The same applies in the yachting industry where the battle for the longest yacht or priciest interior has, in some circles, been replaced by the most epic charter experiences or the coolest marine gadgets. As such, submersibles, which allow guests to explore the greatest depths of the ocean, have risen to the top of many yacht owners’ wish lists and become the ultimate status symbol.

Triton Submarines is one of the major players in the submersible arenas. Claiming to build the world’s “finest” submersibles, the company offers a wide variety of private and commercial models ranging from $2.8 million to $35 million in price. Patrick Lahey, Co-Founder and CEO of Triton Submarines , gives his thoughts on why submersibles are having a moment and unveils some major discoveries from recent Triton dives.

What makes a submersible the ultimate toy for a superyacht owner?

Patrick Lahey: Social currency has changed in recent years from the materialistic to experiential, so rather than investing in ‘objects’ people now invest in unique meaningful experiences. This can be seen in the changing use of yachts, from status symbols to genuine platforms for adventure and discovery. As yacht use has changed, so has their design, in order to accommodate more onboard assets for exploration when visiting remote regions – like tenders, helicopter and submersibles.

Our clients recognize the importance of exploring the ocean in the safest, most innovative vehicles and tools on the planet. People who buy and use Triton are passionate about the ocean, and our products provide them with the tools they need to make and document new discoveries, understand the future of the ocean, and visit a part of our world we may never have seen before in complete comfort and safety.

Furthermore, a Triton submersible is analogous to a Swiss army knife. A Triton can be configured to do whatever a client is interested in achieving. For example, if a client is interested in filming or documentation, we can and do equip the submersible with the latest technology to ensure they can accomplish these objectives. Likewise, we can equip a submersible to do marine science, archaeology, salvage or leave these features out if the intention is to simply enjoy recreational diving.

Please tell us about some discoveries from recent Triton dives.

In recent years, Triton owners have discovered over 40 new species, dived to the bottom of the world’s five oceans, undertaken the first ever live broadcast from 300m below the ocean’s surface, dived on the RMS Titanic, discovered buried treasure, filmed documentaries watched by billions of viewers, carried Heads of State to read marine reservation declarations live from 200m deep, tagged sixgill sharks for the first time at depth… and no doubt created countless other memorable experiences with their families.

For example, we built the deepest diving sub in the world, The Triton 36000/2 (named the Limiting Factor or LF by our client, and recently renamed Bakunawa by the sub’s new owner - Inkfish). The LF made it possible for this client to safely reach the deepest place in each of the five oceans (The Five Deeps Expedition), a feat never achieved before. While this extraordinary mission was underway, we also mapped 750,000 square kilometers of the deep ocean at a resolution not possible before, collected over 400,000 samples, and identified 40 new species, which benefits all of humanity.

Triton 36000/2

We’re very proud of the achievements and important contribution the majority of our clients make to a better understanding of the deep ocean. Ray Dalio’s Triton sub, the Triton 3300/3 MKII’s operated by OceanX, captured the first ever footage of the Giant Squid in 2011. This same Triton sub completed the deepest dives on the Great Barrier Reef with none other than Sir David Attenborough on board, and this craft was used to film the BBC Blue Planet series, which had a viewership greater than any film of its kind in history.

Which are your most popular submersibles?

Our best-selling model is the Triton 3300/3 MKII of which we have now delivered ten units and is the most successful series-built submersible in history, in terms of both sales and achievements. Carrying three persons to depths of up to 1,000m it is the submersible of choice for adventurers, marine researchers, documentary producers and underwater archaeologists.

Triton 3300

Anyone who has watched the BBC’s Blue Planet, Galapagos or David Attenborough Great Barrier Reef series will be familiar with it. It also recently featured in Will Smith’s Welcome to Earth. The extraordinary capability, reliability and payload of this model makes it a true workhorse that can be fitted out with a remarkable array of additional equipment in order to undertake a wide variety of deep ocean missions.

What new projects is Triton currently working on?

We always have a number of concepts and models under development as part of our ongoing program as part of our commitment to progress how people will experience and engage with the deep ocean for generations to come. Our latest is a collaboration with Espen Oeino International and Dark Ocean Design called Project Hercules. It is a high-performance luxury submersible that will deliver an experience that is best likened to that of a private jet. Project Hercules is unique because it’s a design that we haven’t seen yet in the personal submersible industry.

Project Hercules

How many submersibles have you sold in the last year?

As a private company, we don’t share commercial data, but we can tell you is that we’re experiencing remarkable demand from numerous sectors, including private owners, the cruise sector, high-end hospitality and commercial operators. Our current sales pipeline eclipses the number of units we sold in the company’s first decade.

How is the price of a submersible calculated?

The price of a submersible is dictated by two primary factors, the depth capacity and number of passengers it carries. At Triton we offer a wide variety of models that cover the requirements of both private and commercial operators. From compact two-person submersibles that dive up to 200m and cost $2.8-million to 66-passenger commercial tourism models that are priced at $13.8-million. When we’re talking ultra-deep, the two-person titanium-hulled 36000/2 that has the proven capability of repeatedly achieving Full Ocean Depth, almost 11,000m, we’re talking an investment in the region of $35-million.

Why Is It So Hard to Find Local Fish (Even by the Water)?

Seafood caught in nearby waters has long been left out of the farm-to-table movement. But these people have set out to get it into stores and restaurants.

Melissa Clark, a columnist for the Food section, has reported extensively on the environmental impact of seafood. She reported from Montauk, N.Y.

• Published April 23, 2024 Updated April 25, 2024

On a cold, windy February morning on Shinnecock Bay, on the South Fork of Long Island, N.Y., Ricky Sea Smoke fished for clams from the back of his 24-foot boat. The fisherman, whose real name is Rick Stevens, expertly sorted through haul after haul as they were dumped onto the sorting rack.

Among the usual littlenecks and cherrystones were delicacies that would make chefs swoon: sweet, plump razor clams; vermilion-fleshed blood clams; and dainty limpets (also known as slipper snails) with their inimitable saline, buttery flavor. Depending on the season, fishers like Mr. Stevens can bring in even more treasures, like scallops, squid, blue crabs, striped bass, mackerel and skate.

But almost none of them are available locally.

Recipe: Creamy Fish With Mushrooms and Bacon

Instead, at restaurants in nearby East Hampton, you’ll find pasta topped with Manila clams from the West Coast and shrimp cocktail with red shrimp from Argentina. At fish counters across Long Island, imported salmon fillets glisten in greater profusion than local mackerel and black sea bass.

Just a year ago, Mr. Stevens would have thrown those pristine blood clams and limpets into the sea. “No one wanted them,” he said.

The more popular parts of this catch (littlenecks, cherrystones, black sea bass) would be trucked to dealers at the Hunts Point wholesale market in the Bronx, then sent for processing (often overseas) and sold all over the world. Maybe — a week or more later — an even smaller portion, far less fresh, could make its way back to Long Island stores and restaurants. (Or so one hopes. What’s labeled Long Island seafood might come from any number of places. Seafood from big dealers like the ones at Hunts Point is notoriously hard to trace.)

This startlingly inefficient path seems as if it should be an aberration, but it’s standard in the United States, where seafood is routinely trucked hundreds of miles to centralized dealers, changing hands four or five times before ending up at a local fish counter or restaurant, in far worse shape for the commute.

But late last year, Mr. Stevens found a workaround by sending his clams to Dock to Dish , one of a growing number of small businesses across the country — including restaurant suppliers, shops, farmers’ markets and community-supported fisheries — that are dedicated to helping fishing communities sell their catch directly to local markets.

For chefs and home cooks, this means that finding truly fresh, local wild seafood is getting a little easier — at least for anyone willing to wade past the deluge of imported farmed salmon to find it.

Dock to Dish is committed to buying whatever seafood fishing boats bring in, limpets and all, then selling it directly to nearby customers, often within 24 to 48 hours. Chefs at New York City restaurants, including ILIS , M. Wells and Houseman , get to offer local specialties like exceptionally fresh royal red shrimp and blood clams.

“We want to wage war on branzino and Chilean sea bass,” said K.C. Boyle, who owns Dock to Dish with seven fishing families from Montauk. “We have fluke and black sea bass,” he said, “which are infinitely better and more sustainable.”

Shoppers at fish markets like Mermaid’s Garden in Brooklyn can buy sustainable, easy-to-cook fillets like hake and golden tilefish. And by cutting out the middlemen, fishers get more money — an average of about 20 percent more — for their catch, which supports their community.

“Every year, we lose more fishing families because of economics,” Mr. Boyle said. “The kids feel like they have to leave because they can’t make a living.”

Some 65 percent to 80 percent of the seafood consumed in the United States is imported, while the country exports much of its seafood (worth about $5 billion in 2023 ), said Joshua Stoll , an associate professor of marine policy at the University of Maine and a founder of the Local Catch Network . Sending seafood overseas shifts a significant portion of profits away from fishing communities that desperately need it.

All this means that the supply chains needed to support local seafood have been long neglected. But there are people working to rebuild them. And because of their work, finding local seafood is getting easier. The website Local Catch Network , which supports community-based seafood systems, allows consumers to search for local sources. And even some large retailers like Whole Foods Market have started programs in coastal areas, where they buy a portion of their seafood directly from fishing boats without going through middle men.

In New Orleans, Porgy’s Seafood Market buys all its seafood — to sell at its retail counter and serve at an adjacent restaurant — from local fishing boats. In a city surrounded by water, Porgy’s is one of the only shops devoted to buying direct from local fishers.

Porgy’s commitment to local catch is inherent in its very name. Although porgies are plentiful and sweetly flavored, they are small and hard to fillet, so most fishing boats consider them unmarketable.

“There’s a lot of great fish that are underutilized because customers aren’t familiar with them, like blackfin tuna and rainbow runners,” said Dana Honn, a founder of Porgy’s. “But the fishers know we’ll take whatever they have.”

For those who are leery about unfamiliar fish, the restaurant’s deep-fryer comes in handy, said Marcus Jacobs, a co-owner. “People will try anything on a po’ boy,” he said.

Yet while that may work for restaurants, getting home cooks to try something new is another thing entirely.

At Mermaid’s Garden , which gets its seafood from small-boat, domestic fisheries, persuading customers to choose lesser-known species, like pompano and porgies, is a daily challenge, said Bianca Piccillo, who owns the shop in Prospect Heights, Brooklyn, with her husband, Mark Usewicz.

“People are already terrified to cook fish at home, so they don’t want to deviate from the recipe,” Mr. Usewicz said.

After being in business for a decade, the couple have educated their customers, shifting them away, for example, from farmed salmon (which they don’t even carry) to locally farmed steelhead trout, a more sustainable substitute.

“It would be so much easier just to sell farmed salmon, and we’d be financially rewarded for it,” Ms. Piccillo said. “But I wouldn’t eat it, and I’m not going to sell something I wouldn’t eat.”

Finding reliable sources took Ms. Piccillo and Mr. Usewicz several years, and it can be even harder for a restaurant just starting out, even one as on-trend as Place des Fêtes in nearby Clinton Hill.

“We didn’t want to be dependent on the distributors, so spent a lot of time banging our heads against the wall, asking people where to get stuff,” said the chef and co-owner Nico Russell.

Because of its small size and flexible menu, the restaurant can hand-sell supremely fresh seafood that’s delicious but traditionally overlooked, such as mackerel and skate.

Like many high-end New York restaurants, Place des Fêtes gets much of its fish from small dealers who work outside the usual system, like Sue Buxton of Day Boat Fresh in Stonington, Maine.

Ms. Buxton has been supplying chefs like Jean-Georges Vongerichten and Thomas Keller for more than 25 years, buying peekytoe crab, scallops and lobsters directly from local fishing boats, and shipping it to restaurants overnight. For decades, Day Boat Fresh was one of only a handful of options for chefs around the country who wanted this kind of rarefied seafood. But, working largely alone, Ms. Buxton could supply only a few dozen chefs, and even they had to know someone to get on her list. Home cooks looking for the same quality had nowhere to turn.

Much has changed since then. Ms. Buxton recently expanded by starting Buxton Boats Home Edition , which sells directly to the public.

Togue Brawn, who also sells fresh Maine seafood direct to consumers through two companies, Dayboat Blue and Downeast Dayboat , likens the increasing demand to the growth of farm-to-table movement.

Thirty years ago, you had to ask a lot of questions if you wanted to know where your vegetables came from, she said. Now, menus regularly list farm partners.

Ms. Brawn is following the same playbook with her scallops, labeling catches with their points of origin so her customers can learn about their merroir (the ocean analogue to terroir).

Empowered by this information, increasingly knowledgeable seafood lovers are helping to create change in the system.

“Chefs know their farms but not their fishermen,” Ms. Brawn said. “Seafood is finally starting to catch up.”
