11-01-09 - New York, NY - (Yachting Magazine) It's only November and maybe, like my colleague, you're the hardy type. Short gray days, early nights, the crisp chill in the air, the rustle of falling leaves—it does his soul good, he says. And, yes, it can be kind of cozy, I suppose, if you settle into a favorite armchair in front of a crackling fire, nurse a single malt, and kid yourself you don't have months of hibernation ahead of you. Where do you want to go? How about a bareboat charter in the Ballearics? Voyage Charters offers bareboats in Spain, as well as Annapolis, the Leeward Islands, Bahamas, the BVIs, and Miami. Visit their website at www.voyagecharters.com, and you can view detailed information that's similar to the skipper orientation you'll receive in person. Bareboat chartering is a terrific way to gain experience in new cruising grounds, under different conditions. You'll have a chance to develop sailing skills you might not in your home waters. But more than that, it's an ideal way to get away from the cold, soak in some sunshine, and make lasting memories with family and friends. The only real danger is that you may throw out your skis and spend all your vacations this way!

06-01-09 - New York, NY (Yachting Magazine) - The Stealth 520 proves that speed and fuel efficiency can coexist, thanks to cutting-edge engineering. I have seen the future, and it looks like a small, but quite heavy, aircraft wing. Actually, because it was under the Stealth 520RUV on which I was riding, I couldn't see it. But I saw pictures. More important, however, is that I felt its effects. The 520RUV doesn't look particularly unusual, although you don't see many catamaran express cruisers on the waterways. It's actually quite goodlooking, with a swept-back house reminiscent of current Audi styling. But when you put the hammers down, this is real warp-speed, Beam-Me-Up-Scotty, Back-To-The-Future stuff. I'd be the first to admit that I'm jaded when it comes to boats: It takes a lot to get my adrenaline flowing. After running the Stealth, I couldn't wipe the grin off my face. My gums were dry. The muscles around my lips were in rictus. I wanted to come across to those aboard as a hardened yachting expert, but I was giggling like a kid. We were off Miami in the Gulf Stream with the usual chop and wakes from other boats. The numbers on the GPS were hovering just below 50 knots (yep, 50 knots!). And we were just standing in the cabin talking like we were at the dock! No hanging onto rails, no wedging ourselves into bolstered seats, no problem walking around.

04-09-09 - Miami, FL (Yachts International Magazine): Although this is designed as a utility boat, its design and technology are applicable to pleasure boats, which Stealth Yachts also builds. During a sea trial in Miami the performance of the Stealth 520, a “Resort Utility Vessel,” attracted much attention, especially when it blew by chagrined tourists aboard the “Thriller” who moments earlier thought they were riding a go-fast boat. The Stealth went from an unassuming idle beneath the Venetian Causeway to an exhilarating 45 knots in less than 30 seconds, then managed to comfortably maintain a 40-knot speed despite a 30-knot north wind churning up one- to three-foot seas. The hydrofoilsupported catamaran design allows the Stealth to shoot over the surface for a ride more akin to an aircraft in slight turbulence than to a high-speed mono hull subjecting passengers to a pounding with every wave. The Stealth 520 transports up to 42 guests with luggage. The vessel can be custom-configured as required.

03-01-09 - New York, NY - (Robb Report Collection):  Voyage Yacht Share was featured in Kim Kavin's 'Anchors Aweigh' piece in the March 2009 edition of the Robb Report.  Kim states "Fractional ownership of yachts is a continually evolving concept.  A newer option is modeled after the private jet industry, where you purchase increments of usage time instead of a percentage of the asset.  These options allow you to "buy in" for a single year or multiple years, with access to an individual yacht or to a fleet of yachts.  VOYAGE yachts, a builder known for sailing catamarans and charters, has a jet card-style program called Voyage Yacht Share.  Their 55-foot three-stateroom STEALTH 540 provides its fractional owners a smooth ride and highly efficient performance.  "Voyage Yacht Share is different because the boats rotate"  states Bob Kyle, President and CEO of Voyage Yacht Share.  "We're currently set up in Miami, the Bahamas, Annapolis, and Cape Cod.  Ninety percent of our customers are from the United States, so these locations let them split up their time with long weekends instead of having to go on their boat for an entire week.  With VOYAGE charters, we have about 40 boats in Tortola"

03-1-09 – Miami, FL – (Yachts International Magazine): Manufacturers of the Stealth 540 Flybridge and the 520 Resort Utility Vessel put the concept of green at the forefront of the design board. With impressive top speeds of 47 knots, the Stealth models are engineered with notable fuel efficiency. The Stealth 540 has an economic consumption rate of 55 gallons per hour at a cruising speed of 38 knots that allows a range of 300 nm. This model has a spacious 18’ beam and features three well-appointed guest cabins with private head and ample storage. Practical features include a built-in passerelle for stern-to boarding, and dinghy and water toy retrieval. The Stealth 520 is offered in various configurations to suit commercial applications, including seating for 40 passengers with 360-degree visibility. Both models are powered by twin 800 hp MAN R-6 engines and feature the HYSUCAT (hydrofoil supported catamaran) hull design that provides a wave-dampening effect.

04-1-08 – Miami, FL – (Southern Boating Magazine):  “The Stealth 540 is an example of a powercat blurring the styling line with traditional cruising yachts.  If seen only in profile, it would be difficult to detect that this flybridge motoryacht travels on twin hulls.  Stealth Yachts use a hybrid hydrofoil design that provides lift, trims the boat and increases efficiency by up to 40 percent.  Unlike other cats, it banks into a turn.”

Barcelona, Spain (Navegar Magazine): The October issue of Spain's premier yachting magazine 'Navegar' featured the new Stealth 540 Motor Yacht on the cover. "Driving Faster, even with waves, low on fuel consumption. We are talking about a fly bridge motor cruiser. The STEALTH 540 has arrived, discover new limits!!!" states Gabriel Mir Senior Editor Of Navegar' magazine. "When we say a cruising speed of 30 knots and fuel burn of 85 liters per hour most people don't realize how significant these numbers are: example a similar vessel in size and weight would do a top speed of around 30 knots. The STEALTH cruises at this speed, the similar vessel would use twice the amount of fuel to maintain this speed!"

"The Stealth has been described as the sports car of powerboats and its not until you take a spin that you can full appreciate this analogy."

"The Stealth 540 isn't just an extraordinary yacht, but a ground-breaking or should I say ocean-slicing one." states Ben Ellison of PMY. "The most surprising aspect of testing the Stealth was what I didn't feel: the normally jarring consequences of wake jumping at anything close to that speed.I can't find comparable speed-horsepower-fuel ratios for any similar-size luxury performance yacht, and I've looked in PMY's extensive online library!"

London, UK (IHT) - Shelley Emling of the International Herald Tribune interviewed Bob Kyle in her piece Fractional Ownership Comes to Yachting..  "Typically a yacht is used only three to four weeks of the year by its owner," said Robert Kyle, chief executive of Yacht Share. "It sits the rest of the time in a marina, becoming part of the local skyline."  Luxury experts say it is no surprise that wealthy consumers would be attracted by the fractional concept as shared investment in luxury property is going, literally, offshore, as wealthy people choose to buy experiences rather than assets.
