Charter Yacht Insights - Coming Soon

I would like to share a selection of yachts with you from my travels this last year.

We are preparing this page to look at charter yachts from the Newport and Antigua Charter Yacht Shows, as well as, Fort Lauderdale and West Palm Boat Shows. Vessels that have left an impression, exteriors and interiors that reflect our true nature and captains, crew and charter yacht managers who support your journey.

Espen Øino talks about skiing and design from his talk with Y.CO Co-Founder & CEO Charlie Burkett in 2025, BEHIND THE MIND. It reminds me of my time skydiving and ground launching, photographing prototype motorcycle racing inside MotoGP, sailing on offshore deliveries and creating artwork.

“You’re looking at the terrain, you’re judging the terrain, you’re doing your turns as a result of the terrain. . . In terms of design, you’re trying to define what you’re setting yourself out to do. . .open that door, should it open this way or should it open that way. . . What do you expect to find when you open that door, what do you expect to find in front of you. . . and it’s all about anticipation ” — Espen Øino

What I would like to investigate here is how that anticipation in design integrates with visualization, presence, clarity and embodied awareness.

Thank you for visiting!
