After revolutionizing kayaking in 1997 with the Hobie® MirageDrive® , Hobie is now taking stand up boarding to new levels with the just introduced Mirage® Eclipse, the world’s first leg-powered stand up board. Making stand-up boarding as easy as walking, you simply “Step on and go!”
Bringing all the advantages of Mirage kayaking to the boarding world, the Mirage Eclipse is both stable and fast with sleek handlebars and intuitive fingertip rudder controls that make this board easy to steer, even in modest winds, and the innovative design eliminates the learning curve often associated with stand-up boarding.
According to Hobie’s Director of Engineering Jim Czarnowski, “We designed the Mirage Eclipse so anyone from a beginner to a more athletic expert user can all have a great experience.”
The Mirage Eclipse comes in two models, the 10.5 and 12. The larger version is 12 feet long and 35 inches wide, rated for 275 pounds. The 10.5 is 33.5 inches wide and ten and a half feet long. The capacity for the more compact model is 225 pounds, and it weighs about 5 pounds less than the larger model.Both boards are sporty and eye-catching, constructed of glossy but tough Advanced Composite Epoxy (ACX) and both boast sleek, water piercing bows with square tails and flat bottoms that enhance their stability.
You will enjoy an exhilarating and new experience riding the Mirage Eclipse as you glide across the water with ease and precision.
This board is yet another world’s first for Hobie, just like the modern foam core surfboard (1958), the Hobie Cat sailboat (1968), the Mirage kayak (1997), and the hybrid Adventure Island (2006), plus many more!
Additional features include a leash attachment, hull vent and stern handle. Optional accessories include a protective board bag and a cart with light duty wheels or sand tires. A cup holder and universal phone mount are available to keep riders refreshed and ready to capture every memory.
The Hobie Mirage Eclipse 10.5 ($2499) and 12 ($2599) will be available at Hobie dealers around the world later this spring. Visit www.hobiecat.com/stand-ups/mirage-eclipsefor more product and ordering information
Why settle for mere luxury when over the top indulgence can be had – for a price, that is. Rife with opulent amenities and sparkling with privilege, these three Bahamian escapes are the swoon-worthy vacation destinations to explore when the sky’s the limit and the tropics call.

Over Yonder Cay even ensures that you’ll feel good about the environment as you’re reveling in indulgence – the island is powered by a state-of-the-art renewable energy system, which includes three wind turbines and a 1.5-acre solar field.
The Islands of Copperfield Bay, Musha Cay, Bahamas
The eye-popping luxury that awaits you on Musha Cay is no trick. Illusionist David Copperfield created this hedonistic hideaway in the Exumas out islands to appeal to the wonder in all of us. Spread over 700 acres and encompassing eleven private islands, Musha Cay can accommodate up to 24 guests in five villas filled with Balinese elegance and pure, island magic. While there, guests can rack ‘em on a billiard table once owned by Harry Houdini, play in turquoise waters, catch a movie on a two and half story screen beach front screen, race goldfish (yes, goldfish) or visit with the comical, mystical residents of the island’s own secret village. Inhabited by a band of impossibly clever, adorably friendly spider monkeys, the furry posse entertains guests by performing a bevy of tricks, doing some mind-bending mind reading… even sketching portraits of their awe struck visitors’ faces. Rates begin at $39,000 per day for up to twelve guests (four-night minimum) and includes the primate portraiture, activities, fine dining and just about anything else one might need to conjure up a magical vacation.
Innocence Island, Bahamas
What a lofty dream, to recover one’s Innocence. Dream no longer, Innocence is one of the last, pure pearls that comprise the breathtaking Exuma islands. From a perch 90 feet above sea level and sprawling across 681 acres, Innocence guests are afforded unforgettable views while spending sun filled days exploring their own private island. The six bedroom, six bath luxury villa offers a pool, gym and a full staff dedicated to satisfying the whims and wishes of the island’s guests.

Rates to rent the island range from $3,000 to $10,000 per night.
Think expansive luxury fit for kings is impossible to achieve on the high seas? Burgess Yachts, founded by worldwide sing-handed ocean racer Nigel Burgess, assures us it’ll be a Cakewalk. The 180 foot/55 meter stunner has recently undergone a $2.5M retrofitting that makes sailing the seas as easy as…. Well, a Cakewalk.
Originally built in 2003, the 2015 overhaul of the yacht included exterior, interior, technical and mechanical upgrades that make it one of the most luxurious rides on the waters today. Its steel hull, aluminum superstructure and teak decking, all completed by Benetti Yachts in-house team, are just the beginning.
With four decks, each appointed with careful style and grace, Cakewalk leaves little to be desired in the way of outdoor luxury. The expansive sundeck features a pool, a large Jacuzzi, an enclosed gym and a variety of other spaces for guests to enjoy entertaining, dining, working out, relaxing and simply living. For more formal occasions, the Maindeck’s casual sophistication makes it the perfect place to host guests or conduct business without the usual land-based distractions.
The bridgedeck is the perfect place for conversation or recreation in an atmosphere of comfortable elegance and includes a VIP stateroom that boasts panoramic views and voluminous spaces in which to read, work and lounge.
Of course, on a yacht of this size, accommodations are not hard to come by. The lower deck accommodates up to twelve guests in six elegantly appointed staterooms that bear the distinctive mark and style of renowned yacht designer Stefano Natucci. The full-beam, split-level owner’s suite alone is worth the price of admission.
Technically speaking, the Cakewalk does not disappoint. The twin screw diesel super yacht is able to reach a maximum speed of 16 knots, while its maximum cruising speed is still a swift 14 knots. Its 7000 nautical mile range at 12 knots, though, means you can just as quickly make the seas your home, should you decide living on land is not the life for you. To put this into perspective, a typical trans-Atlantic crossing is expected to end up in the region of 4500 to 5000nm, which Cakewalk would manage comfortably with her twin 1850hp Caterpillar engines.
The newly re-christened M/Y Cakewalk debuted this year at the Monaco Yacht Show, where it joined racing cars, £1million Dragon submarines, helipads and other luxury add-ons for the world’s wealthiest. Current asking price is €21,950,000 (US$23,260,000) though it should be noted that the super yacht is not for sale to US residents while it is lying in US waters.

Experience the surfing without the ocean with the Carver, an electric powered jet board. The Spanish watersports brand, Onean dreamt of carving turns through calm glassy water and have invented the new sport that is flat water surfing. The Carver is built for those who have a need for speed, having reached 40 km/h in testing. Glide through the water and have complete control of the speed by using the handheld wireless controller. Its battery life gives 20 mins of ride time, and with its integrated electric-powered jet propulsion system which was designed by Bizintek Innova and 4400 Watt dual-core noiseless motor, this board was designed to turn any piece of water into your very own slalom course.
For the more casual surfer looking for a more relaxed cruising experience there is the Manta, which benefits from increased stability and reaches around 8 km/h with 2 hours of battery life. Both the Carver and Manta boards come with a wireless remote, battery, charger, leash, footstrap and fin set for the bottom of the board.
Marking their 10th anniversary, the Ritz-Carlton Grand Cayman has launched its ultra-exclusive Grand Cayman Penthouse Suite – now the largest and most luxurious suite in the Caribbean. On the top floor of the Seven Mile Beach resort’s south tower is the 3 bedroom suite. With 8,000 sq-ft of indoor and outdoor space it has the capacity to offer ultimate comfort to up to eight people.

It features; a full size kitchen complete with Gaggenau Kitchen appliances, wraparound porches, a screening room, a library, and more. Aside from that are the luxe finishes throughout the suite from its Bolivian rosewood flooring to its marble bathtubs and leather upholstered walls.
With guest comfort in mind and being able to provide clients with “the ultimate luxury escape,” the Johnson Studio out of Atlanta, Georgia has transported the island’s iconic crystal blue waters and white powdery sands inside to create a color palette of deep blues and greens. Couple this with a natural look from the use of the finest woods and materials from around the world, and the residence breathes an air of contemporary sophistication.
The Penthouse experience continues with luxurious amenities which include; private outdoor space with hot tubs, fire pits, private cinema, lounge seating, and access to a beachfront cabana. A personal assistant is at hand to ensure your every wish is granted.
Hotel chefs will work their magic to fulfill any dining request and give you recommendations from a world-class wine list hand-picked by the resort’s award winning Sommelier.
Known for their legendary service, The Ritz-Carlton, Grand Cayman promises to make their guest’s experience into a memorable one. The Hotel and Resort spans 144 acres and has 365 guestrooms. It has been an AAA Five Diamond award winner since its opening.
The Penthouse can be booked separately or combined with the adjacent suite — nearly 20,000 square feet and 11 total bedrooms — creating the largest suite in the Caribbean.
Private jets are all the rage these days, and many who own private planes or charter them when they need convenience, comfort and security know about the King Air’s legendary all-around performance. The luxurious Beechcraft King Air 350i, is the most comfortable solution for short-haul flights or island hopping today and is the latest version of one of the most reliable airplanes ever built.
Built by Beechcraft, this modern day aircraft is equipped with the latest technology and the best comfort features to give every passenger a luxurious ride. But what really makes this plane stand out is the go-green concept taken to a whole new level.
The King Air 350i, with a payload and range capability unmatched in its class, is significantly more economical than comparable sized jets, while offering virtually the same flight time for short to medium hauls. Excellent short runway performance offers more airport options, bringing you closer to your final destination.
King Airs, made by Hawker Beechcraft of the US, have earned a reputation as a go-anywhere aircraft, partly because they were designed when short grass or gravel strips were found at the end of a journey years ago. The $7.5M 350i is the latest version of this world-class aircraft, with upgrades that make it a rival many smaller jets.
The new interior is furnished as luxuriously as any executive private plane in the air today. The standard cabin layout comes with plush interiors and can seat up to 9 passengers while providing ample storage space for luggage, with enough space to carry 4 sets of golf clubs in the wing storage compartments. The new cabin design is the most luxurious and comfortable cabin in its class.
One of the best features of any King Air cabin is the large round windows with seven of them on each side of the plane. The structure between the windows is so narrow you get the sensation of the whole cabin side being one big window.
On a standard day the 350 needs only 3,330 feet of runway to take off making many small island runways now easily accessible. And, remember, those numbers are for full fuel, enough to fly 1,500 nautical miles or more and an adult body in every comfortable seat. For shorter flights with less fuel on board, you can actually get the King Air to take off on less than 3,000 feet of runway. It’s a very versatile airplane to say the least, and it’s not just about safety and performance, it shines in looks as well.

Wichita, KS USA
The King Air is the world’s most popular business turboprop aircraft – a title that is not simply granted, but earned again and again with continuous enhancement over five decades. The King Air 350i is true to its legacy of innovation. With the King Air 350i, Beechcraft has found a way of combining luxury and ruggedness that will be around for years to come.

If you consider traditional sailing and surfing as a bit passé and want to inject a little excitement into your day on the water, take a look at these two adrenaline-infused, must-try sports.
Most folks are familiar with kite boarding: a water sport, which combines aspects of wakeboarding and wind surfing, paragliding and skateboarding. Harnessing the power of the wind and a large controllable power kite, athletes zip across the surface of the water on a kiteboard.
But if you’d like to turn up the heat, then try kite foiling! Spotz, a French manufacturer of kite equipment, spun their passion of kite boarding in 2009 into a ton of fun! The hydrofoil, placed below the board, means the rider is up above the water; reaching far higher speeds and a smoother ride overall. The ride is definitely exhilarating and your next vacation in the tropics, where gentle breezes blow, will be the ideal setting to learn or perfect your skills! www.spotz-foil.com
Along the same lines as kite foiling is moth foiling, its sailing’s answer to the unicycle. Reaching speeds 50% greater than wind speed, these one-manned cruisers are creating a new breed of sailors. The foils are mounted under the hull of the craft, which with speed raises the hull up and out of the water. The single moth is popular for sporting enthusiasts and serious racers thanks to leading developers of the sport such as Mach 2 -McDougall McConaghy. www.Mach2boats.com
So rev up the excitement during your next day at the beach by experimenting with the challenging and thrilling sport of foiling!

Have you heard of raicilla? Maybe not yet, but you’ve certainly heard of tequila and mezcal. Consider raicilla a cousin of those two beloved agave spirits, it being distilled in a similar fashion, with some differences depending on who produced it.
It’s best to think of this clear liquor as a sort of mezcal from the Mexican state of Jalisco, as the historic definition of mezcal means anything distilled from the agave plant. That means even mezcal from Oaxaca is a type of mezcal. Producers Rio Chenery of the distillery Estancia Raicilla and Esteban Morales of the La Venenosa Raicilla consortium agree that raicilla is, “really a mezcal, we just can’t call it that because of location.”
Originally distilled as a type of “Mexican Moonshine” for farmers and fishermen in the western part of the state, it was taxed by the Spanish during the 18th century to make way for imported liquor and wine. As a result, the spirit moved underground, and up until recently, it was technically illegal and production haphazard. Though availability of the spirit has legitimized, you can drive through Jalisco and buy unregulated raicilla on the roadside, where it’s often sold in nondescript plastic bottles.
Fast-forward to today, where it’s become popular (and legal) again, thanks to tourism. Morales said most of the time he encounters raicilla outside of Jalisco, it’s in a gringo-heavy area, like Cancun or Cabo San Lucas. Chenery explains that there are two distinct styles of raicilla: de la Costa (from the coast) and de la Sierra (from the mountains). Most of the major producers are de la sierra, and the designation is further broken down into two roasting techniques. Pit-roasted agave produces a smokier taste, similar to better-known Oaxacan mezcals, and clay-roasted agave gives the raicilla a cleaner, more herbal characteristic, not unlike a strong gin. Some of the clay-roasted raicillas even have cheesy or grassy undertones. Morales says, “One of my favorite ways to drink raicilla is in a Negroni, as a gin substitute. It’s an excellent mixer.”
Morales also asserts raicilla has a lot in common with wine. “Terroir is very important, as is the type of agave. A different kind will produce a different taste, as will its location.” This is seen in Oaxacan mezcal, as well, but not in tequila, which relies on monoculture farming of the blue agave. “There are towns in other areas of Jalisco that produce a similar spirit but don’t call it raicilla,” Morales says. “Since they can’t call it mezcal or tequila, I am trying to invite them to be with us. They use different agaves and techniques, but we can still call all of it raicilla.” This has led to a council of raicilla makers lobbying for Denominacion Origen status, like Oaxaca has with mezcal and tequila in another part of Jalisco.
For now, though, raicilla is available throughout Mexico, as well as in the United States and certain European countries. Both Morales and Chenery tell us that the spirit has caught more traction overseas, as preferences take time to change and curiosity is harder to grow at home. Morales says it’s more popular in the Mexico as a mixer and sipped straight overseas. Chances are though, wherever you enjoy it, you’ll be the first of your friends to do so.

Eventually, their growth in the Mediterranean brought a needed for bigger craft, culminating in their largest delivery to date in September 2014. This 155-foot beauty is Sunseeker’s 100th performance motor yacht, but is the top of the line – they’re still producing luxury craft of all sizes.
Christensen
M/Y LADY JOY – 157′
Dave Christensen, founder of his eponymous Vancouver yacht company, is obsessive about details. That’s why his custom fiberglass yachts are true feats of engineering, employing large-scale vacuum infusion combined with proprietary in-house technology that creates a boat more solid than steel. The hulls are fully insulated, eliminating the “double boiler” heating effect that afflicts boats traveling in warmer climates and ensuring there will be no condensation-causing corrosion, interior finish damage or mold infestation. Christensen’s inspiration? Other builders’ low standards. He sought out to build a yacht in 1982 and couldn’t find a builder who met his requirements. The rest is history, and he is now building custom boats up to 212 feet in length.
Trinity Yachts
Finish Line by Trinity
One of Hurricane Katrina’s great redemption stories lies with Trinity Yachts, now based out of both Gulfport Mississippi and New Orleans, Louisiana. Their shipyard was destroyed by the storm in 2010, as it brought a 15-foot wall of water into the yard where it then ruined most of their manufacturing equipment. To add to the destruction, most of Trinity’s employees were scattered around in the aftermath. By an incredible stroke of luck, two almost-completed yachts and a handful of hulls in-progress survived the storm, providing the basis to rebuild company from the ashes. Founder John Dane III, knowing a good opportunity when he sees one, made good on this small fortune and set out to rebuild as quickly as possible, acquiring the Gulfport shipyard in the process. Today, Trinity is fully back in the game and operational in its two locations, with a 168-foot tri-deck yacht slated for near-term delivery.
