85m explorer yacht VICTORIOUS finally hits the water

By Mairead Finlay   9 April 2021

85m (279ft) expedition yacht VICTORIOUS has hit the water in Turkey , having first arrived at AK Yacht's shipyard back in 2016. It's been a long-awaited launch for this spectacular superyacht, whose construction has been stalled on a number of occasions. In total, she was in-build for more than 14 years.

Delayed launch for motor yacht VICTORIOUS

The keel for this motor yacht was first laid in 2006, but the vessel's original shipyard ran into financial troubles. Subsequently, VICTORIOUS was sold and spent a further two years in construction in New Zealand , before the building stalled once again. 

The project was then taken over by her current owner, who transferred her to shipbuilder AK Yachts yard in 2016, where she has since undergone a number of changes. Superyacht VICTORIOUS's owner decided to add a two-metre bowsprit to the vessel and extended her by six metres to accommodate an indoor swimming pool in the beach club.

Her elegant silhouette comes courtesy of the renowned studio Michael Leach Design, with her interiors helmed by H2 Yachts Design. She can accommodate up to 12 guests across 11 guest suites. Five staterooms are located on the main deck, four on the lower, and two on the bridge deck. Her onboard highlights include a 10-seat cinema, heated swimming pool, hammam, an aft deck Jacuzzi, a cocktail lounge observation saloon, and a dazzling upper deck complete with a sky lounge for awe-inspiring panoramas, 

Will explorer yacht VICTORIOUS be available for charter?

Yes, superyacht M/Y VICTORIOUS is planned to enter the charter market, but not quite yet. She must still undergo final touches and complete sea trials before being delivered to her owner. It is expected this will be in spring 2021, and she will complete her maiden journey in the Mediterranean.

Palm Beach just saw a new lakefront price record set with the $152 million sale of Tarpon Island — the town’s only private island — and its newly renovated-and-expanded mega-mansion . The sale price was reported May 17 in the multiple listing service for the property addressed as 10 Tarpon Isle. 

The buyer’s identity has not yet been confirmed by the Palm Beach Daily News, and a deed has not yet been recorded for the transaction at the Palm Beach County Courthouse. But the buyer appears to have already taken occupancy of the estate, according to people familiar with the neighborhood.

Affording panoramic views of the Intracoastal Waterway, the artificial island in the Estate Section measures about 2.3 acres with a combined 1,163 feet of waterfront on all four sides. 

The property was priced at $187.5 million when it sold. It holds the record as the most expensive Palm Beach house ever marketed in the MLS.

The Palm Beach Daily News is the first media outlet to report the sale.

With 11 bedrooms, the two-story mansion has 28,618 total square feet of living space, inside and out. The long list of amenities includes one of the town’s only lighted tennis court and two swimming pools, one of which stretches 98 feet along the lakefront with a whirlpool spa and a “cold plunge” pool. 

Developer Todd Michael Glaser spearheaded the overhaul of the estate —through his eponymous Miami Beach-based real estate company — and led the investment group that just sold the property.

Glaser previously told the Palm Beach Daily News that a confidentiality agreement prevents him and others involved in the sale from discussing the transaction or the buyer. 

Bridge connects Palm Beach's Tarpon Island to the rest of town

But Glaser had previously told the Palm Beach Daily News that Tarpon Island’s location is like no other: “It has its own bridge. How many houses in Palm Beach have a bridge? None,” Glaser said in a December article about the house. 

That picturesque bridge connects the island to the rest of Palm Beach’s Estate Section. The island also is accessible by boat.

Tarpon Island already held the record for the priciest Palm Beach lakefront property ever sold, a distinction it earned when Glaser and his investors bought it for $85 million in the summer of 2021 from its longtime owners, private investor William Toll and his wife, Eileen. 

The reported price of the just-closed sale fell short of Palm Beach's two priciest residential real estate deals, which both closed last year — an off-market sale reported at $170 million for an oceanfront estate at 589 N. County Road; and a private transaction recorded at $155 million for the estate of the late Rush Limbaugh at 1495 N. Ocean Blvd. The deal on North County Road was structured so that the sale price was never documented at the courthouse.

The renovation on Tarpon Island more than doubled the size of the 1930s-era Bermudian-style house on the east side of the property. The project turned that house into a guesthouse with an ultra-luxury fitness-and-beauty area. A new, much-larger addition with the main living areas was built onto the original house in a similar architectural style. The main residence has an expansive living area and a loggia with a fireplace, summer kitchen and bar facing the pool, the well-equipped dock and the water. 

Miami investors on seller's side of Tarpon Island project in Palm Beach

Among the estate’s other features are a five-car garage and an extensive front motor court for parking. Other amenities include a paneled library/office and an entertainment room with a fireplace, wine storage, billiards area and movie lounge. Upstairs, the primary bedroom has two oversize marble-appointed bathrooms, while a separate wing houses guest bedrooms to supplement the VIP suites in the guesthouse.

Glaser’s investors included Jonathan Fryd of Fryd Properties in Miami and developer Scott Robins of Scott Robins Cos. in Miami Beach. Fryd and Robins have invested in other Glaser-controlled projects in Palm Beach and Miami-Dade County, where the developer built his career before turning his attention to buying, building, renovating and selling homes in Palm Beach over the past several years.

There may have been other investors as well, but if so, Glaser has never identified them to the Palm Beach Daily News. 

Real estate agents Suzanne Frisbie of the Corcoran Group and Chris Leavitt of Douglas Elliman Real Estate held the listing. Broker Christian Angle of Christian Angle Real Estate also was involved on the sellers’ side. Frisbie, Leavitt and Angle declined to comment.

Agent Margit Brandt of Premier Estate Properties represented the buyer, the MLS shows. She also declined to comment.

The property had been under contract since the end of March, according to the MLS.

Because no deed for the sale has yet been recorded by the Palm Beach County Clerk’s office, it's unclear if the price to be documented at the courthouse will match the one reported in the MLS.

Palm Beach's Tarpon Island had undergone several price-tag changes

The estate had carried its asking price of $187.5 million since November. But that price was down sharply from the $218 million price tag attached to the property while it was being built. The property was relisted at the lower price during the final stages of construction. 

The estate first entered the market in October 2021 — during the height of Palm Beach’s pandemic-induced real estate boom — with a $125 million price tag that included only the land and renovation plans for the original house. At that time the property also was listed at a pre-construction price of $210 million, which would have included the renovated house, before hitting the high of $218 million.

With a second pool and dock, the repurposed guesthouse’s extensive spa area offers a sauna and steam room, a hair-styling salon and staff quarters. The guesthouse nearly abuts the east property line, "so when you are in the gym, you feel like you are on a yacht," Glaser said previously. 

A focal point of the addition to the west is an octagonal room, rising two stories, that overlooks the tennis court on the far west side of the property. The room can be used for formal dining or as a tennis-viewing pavilion.

Tarpon Island looks down the waterway toward Trump's Mar-a-Lago in Palm Beach

Windows, patios, loggias, terraces and the dock on the south side of the house afford views straight down the Intracoastal Waterway for a little more than a mile to the Southern Boulevard Bridge, past former President Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago Club. The views also include houses on Everglades Island to the west and in Palm Beach’s Estate Section to the east. 

Architect Roger Janssen of Dailey Janssen Architects drew up the plans for the Tarpon Island project. Christopher Cawley Landscape Architecture designed the grounds. The interior finishes were chosen by Glaser's wife, interior decorator Kim Glaser.

In the $170-million all-time record-setting sale on North County Road, car dealer Michael Cantanucci and his wife, Kimberly, bought the property from coffee mogul Robert Stiller and his wife, Christine. Angle represented the Cantanuccis, negotiating opposite broker Lawrence Moens of Lawrence A. Moens Associates.

The Palm Beach Daily News was unable to confirm if any agents were involved in the $155 million sale of 1495 N. Ocean Blvd.

When Tarpon Island last changed hands in July 2021, the house there had five bedrooms and 12,321 square feet, property records show. The lead agents in that sale were Frisbie, acting for Glaser's group, and agent Jim McCann of Premier Estate Properties, who represented the Tolls. The Tolls had paid a recorded $7.6 million for Tarpon Island in 1998, property records show.

Tarpon Island developer's primary home is in Palm Beach

“This is the most exciting piece of real estate I’ve ever bought and will be able to develop, other than the (historic) Carl Fisher estate in Miami Beach, which I bought in 2005,” Todd Glaser told the Palm Beach Daily News when his group bought Tarpon Island.

Glaser has bought and sold a number of houses in Palm Beach since 2017 — some he renovated and others he built on speculation, often with financing from investors. He and his wife own a landmarked house they renovated in the Estate Section at 125 El Vedado Road , which they have homesteaded as their primary residence in the latest tax rolls. He recently sold a Palm Beach office building that he had used as his family office at 125 Bradley Place.

Glaser made national headlines in 2021 when he bought and razed the former Palm Beach home of the late sex offender and disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein. That same year, he sold that Estate Section lot vacant for a recorded $25.85 million . A new house is nearing completion on the property, which can easily be seen from Tarpon Island. 

The original house on Tarpon Island was completed in December 1939, according to architectural historian Augustus Mayhew. Tarpon Island itself was created by dredging crews in the 1930s. 

Before Glaser broke ground at 10 Tarpon Isle, Frisbie described the project as his “next masterpiece” and said it was “artfully conceived and beautifully embraces Tarpon Island’s iconic history. How often do we get to say ‘once in a lifetime’ and ‘one of a kind’ in the same sentence? This is it.”
