BLACK LEGEND Yacht – Overmarine’s Stunning $25M Superyacht

The 50-meter BLACK LEGEND yacht was launched in 2017 by Overmarine in Italy. She is worth US$25 million and can reach speeds up to 37 knots.

BLACK LEGEND yacht interior

The interior was developed by the Over Marine Design team to fit the specific needs of her owner.

Much like the exterior of the yacht, the interior features a lot of dark elements with striking red skulls as accent pieces.

The upholstery is made from dark fabrics and leather, with suede elements and exotic wood.

There are four guest cabins, including a large master, one VIP room, and two doubles. The entire interior of the BLACK LEGEND yacht is air-conditioned, and she features a state-of-the-art entertainment system.

Almost all of his vehicles and vessels are black with red skulls as a unique form of branding.

The BLACK LEGEND yacht reportedly cost her owner US $25 million with an estimated US $1 to 2 million annual running costs in addition to the sale price. 

Specifications

The yacht has a length of 49.9 meters (163.9 ft), a beam of 9.2 meters (30.2 ft), and a 1.9 meters (6.9 ft) draft.

She displaces 483 tons and can reach top speeds of up to 48 knots, making her much faster than larger models. Her average cruise speeds lie at 35 knots.

She is powered by four diesel MTU engines which provide her with a reach of up to 691 nautical miles.

Since her draft is exceptionally low she is the perfect yacht for accessing shallow areas that other larger vessels might not be able to reach.

The exterior of the BLACK LEGEND yacht was designed by Stefano Righini, an Italian naval designer specializing in superyachts. He recently passed away in October 2021. The vessel is mainly black with some white accents and, of course, the signature red skull, which marks the left side of the bow.

Large black and red letters spell out the name on the aft, and she is decorated with a red stripe along her waterline.

The BLACK LEGEND yacht is the 12th in Overmarine’s successful Mangusta 165 series. She is also the 8th largest vessel ever built by the Italian shipyard, which was founded in 1985.

She is currently ranked number 904 on the list of largest motor yachts in the world

Affordable Island-Hopping in Croatia? What Could Go Wrong?

A 30-percent-off Black Friday sale on a cruise aboard a yacht meant off-season sailing and being prepared for the unexpected.

By Elaine Glusac

Elaine Glusac is the Frugal Traveler columnist, focusing on budget-friendly tips and journeys.

As Croatians tell the story , the Greek hero Odysseus was shipwrecked and held captive on the Croatian island of Mljet. Visiting in May, I and six other sailors embraced the myth when the motor on our 54-foot yacht failed.

“Remember, Odysseus spent seven years on Mljet,” said Ivan Ljubovic, our captain. “We can do two nights.”

In the scheme of things, the clogged fuel filter that impeded our progress on a seven-night, island-hopping cruise from Split to Dubrovnik on a yacht — which the passengers helped sail — was minor. Though an engine, even on a sailboat, is vital for docking and sticking to schedules on becalmed days, most of my shipmates agreed that getting waylaid in a village with Roman ruins on a turquoise bay was an acceptable fate.

I had been resigned to what were, in my mind, worse inconveniences when I had signed up for the trip last November. Then, the tour operator G Adventures had put several trips on sale over the Black Friday weekend. Its best deals were in the off-season, which meant potentially chilly weather and closed restaurants and attractions. But leaving in late April for seven nights of island hopping at roughly $1,300 — after a 30 percent discount — was too tempting to pass up.

My cousin Kim agreed and we made plans to pack rain gear and meet in Split to test the budget waters.

‘Everything between is an adventure’

Little about the itinerary was published pre-departure and none of it was firm.

“Split and Dubrovnik are fixed,” said the captain, who would pilot the ship solo and double as our guide, on our first day. “Everything between is an adventure.”

It started with the Sauturnes, a handsome Kufner yacht with four snug guest cabins, four economical bathrooms where the retractable faucet doubled as a shower spigot, and a spacious galley. Our “crew,” a mix of Australians and Americans ranging from 18 to 75 — all of whom had also jumped on the promotional pricing — spent most of the time atop the boat, where foam mattresses invited sunbathing and a cockpit awning provided shade.

The weather, which turned out to be sunny and comfortably cool, was not our greatest concern. The G Adventures website had mentioned well-known islands, including beachy Brac and Vis , which played a convincing Greek idyll in the movie “Mamma Mia 2.” But since many places would be closed in the shoulder season, we would proceed, according to the captain, based on the dictates of the weather and conditions on shore.

Meals were not included, which meant finding open restaurants was critical. For shipboard breakfasts and lunches, we each chipped in 50 euros (about $54) for communal groceries, which we shopped for at local markets. At night, we would dine at restaurants; G Adventures advised budgeting $250 to $325 for the week, which was accurate, though we often splurged on Croatian wine (a carafe of house red averaged $15).

Small ports

After the frenzy of grocery shopping and moving into the bunk-bedded cabin Kim and I shared, we experienced the Zen of sailing as the ship set off on a sunny morning for 43-mile-long Hvar , the longest and purportedly sunniest island in Croatia.

Neighboring islands drifted past as the wind patterned the sea in shifting ripples and ruffles. A flock of shearwaters soared by at eye level.

Within a few hours, the ridgelines of steep Hvar appeared, revealing terraced lavender fields and olive orchards. Motoring down a long, narrow inlet, we arrived in Stari Grad , a village of stone homes with terra cotta roof tiles, as travelers had since 384 B.C., when Greek sailors from the island of Paros settled here.

Our mooring provided a front-row view of fishing boats and cafes animating the waterfront. Stari Grad’s attractions, including the Greek ruins of Faros and a 17th-century Venetian cathedral, had yet to open for the season, but we relished exploring the old quarter’s narrow lanes and deserted plazas.

From the waterfront, an aerobic 20-minute hike up a steep hill crowned by a giant white cross offered views over Stari Grad and the plains beyond, a UNESCO World Heritage Site of fourth-century agricultural fields, with stone walls circumscribing grapevines and olive orchards.

That evening, we visited them to reach Konoba Kokot , a farm restaurant that specializes in “peka,” a kind of barbecue in which meat cooks under an iron lid piled with hot coals. The family that runs it opened in the preseason, welcoming us with bracing shots of rakija, a local herbal liquor. At a long table under an arbor, we gorged on homemade goat cheese, wild boar pate and, from the hearth, roast lamb, veal and octopus with limitless jugs of red and white wine for 35 euros a person.

Starry nights

Small ships are unmatched at getting into small ports, but a yacht trip is also a little like camping, starting most mornings with D.I.Y. instant coffee. Marinas offered free bathhouses with showers.

Cool temperatures apparently deterred the celebrity-filled mega yachts, which are known to anchor in the town of Hvar on the south shore of Hvar island. Our captain declared it the “Mykonos of Croatia” as we motored by the port bustling with visitors carrying shopping bags and cones of gelato.

With clear weather in the forecast, we moored in an undeveloped cove east of town. The mooring belonged to the owners of Moli Onte restaurant, who ferried us to land on a motorized dingy, allowing us enough time before dinner to visit the fortress above Hvar and have an Ozujsko beer on St. Stephens Square, the largest in the region of Dalmatia.

Back on board, with no artificial light to wash out the night sky, we hit the upper deck for stargazing. As my shipmates peeled off to bed, I grabbed a blanket and beanie and bedded down under the stars for the evolving show, periodically waking to catch the drama of the moon rising, reflected in the still water.

Little Dubrovnik

Fingers of gray rock reached down to meet sloping vineyards along Hvar’s south coast as we departed for its neighbor, Korcula. On our longest day of sailing, five hours, I welcomed the chance to play first mate, manning the lines on the jib sail.

To break up the trip, Captain Ljubovic navigated to a quiet cove off the Peljesac Peninsula where the Caribbean-blue waters, cloudless sky and sandy bottom convinced us to jump in despite numbing sea temperatures.

Fifteenth-century walls ring the historic center of Korcula, earning it the nickname “Little Dubrovnik.” Past the stone gates carved with a winged lion representing the empire of Venice, which controlled much of the Adriatic after the 13th century, narrow alleys led to ornate churches and mansions. There was no better history trip than getting lost in the web of pedestrian lanes. Or so we told ourselves as we passed the purported home of Marco Polo, still closed preseason.

Along the seafront walls, restaurants served pizza and seafood under lights strung in the pines and we caught sunset from a former turret, now converted into Massimo Cocktail Bar , which requires patrons to climb a ladder to the rooftop, a caution against second rounds.

The most romantic port of the trip was also the rowdiest, at least in the marina, which was hosting a Polish sailing regatta. When I headed for the showers at 6 a.m. the next morning, I found a group still cheerfully dancing atop a yacht littered in empty booze bottles and crushed potato chips.

Marooned on Mljet

We left Korcula on strong 20-knot “jugo” or south winds and Captain Ljubovic unleashed the sails, saying “You paid for a sailing vacation, not a motorboat.”

As we tacked back and forth toward Mljet , the boat heeled at a queasy angle and we took face shots of ocean spray.

On Mljet, where the western end of the island is home to Mljet National Park , we rented bikes (10 euros) to ride a lung-busting route over the park’s mountain spine. On the other side, we cycled around a pair of inland lakes and took a boat trip to a 12th-century monastery built on an island in one of them (park admission, 15 euros).

Docked in the still sleepy town of Polace, we heard tales of high season, when up to 100 yachts anchor in the bay and members of the band U2 were once seen biking in the park. After a brief shower, the town glimmered at sunset and the restaurant Stella Maris welcomed us with grilled sea bass (25 euros) and prawns (20 euros).

“I’m so glad I chose this time, because I don’t do crowds,” said my shipmate Nova Hey, 46, of Sydney, who was traveling with her 18-year-old daughter.

In the morning, I had the trail to the peak of Montokuc to myself. The roughly three-mile round-trip hike reached one of the highest points on the island, a rocky knob with stunning panoramas shared by a family of feral goats.

Not long thereafter, the Sauternes’ engine refused to turn over, stranding us in a national park on a remote island with no mechanics.

Teeming Dubrovnik

The next morning, Captain Ljubovic jimmied a fix but it didn’t last long and the engine died again, this time just opposite a cave on Mljet that we joked had to be the refuge of Odysseus.

After a morning of light sailing, a mechanic from the mainland arrived by speedboat and within an hour we were motoring toward the Franjo Tudman Bridge that spans the inlet to the Dubrovnik marina where hot showers awaited.

“Dubrovnik is the most expensive city in Croatia,” said Captain Ljubovic as we spent the last of our pooled money, 70 euros, hiring a taxi van to get us to and from the walled heart of the ancient city about 15 minutes away.

With two large cruise ships in port, Dubrovnik was teeming with visitors and the price to climb the stone walls that encircle the city was a sticker-shocking 35 euros. (In the ensuing two days Kim and I would spend post-cruise in the city, we bought the more comprehensive Dubrovnik Pass for 35 euros that included admission to the walls as well as several museums and public bus transportation.)

On our final evening, we measured the lack of crowds versus closed museums; perfect hiking weather versus swim-inviting water; ample dock space versus more restaurant choices — and felt we’d come out ahead sailing in the bargain season.

Sir ben ainslie's reshuffle led to big wins for british sail team.

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

Ben Ainslie, longtime driver and now CEO of Emirates Great Britain SailGP Team, before a practice ... [+] session ahead of the Emirates Sail Grand Prix presented by P&O Marinas in Dubai, UAE. 8th December 2023.

No one can control the wind, and no one knows that better than Ben Ainslie CBE, also known as Sir Charles Benedict Ainslie, one of the world’s most renowned sailing competitors.

The British four-time Olympic gold medalist has spent the last two seasons at the helm of Great Britain’s Emirates GBR team , first as the crew’s captain, or driver, to use competitive sailing terminology, and most recently as the organization’s CEO.

With a hard-fought win in Halifax, Canada, just three weeks ago and a total of three wins this season, Ainslie's team is gearing up for the thrilling New York Grand Prix this weekend. The event promises both excitement and challenges, just like any other team in the SailGP Circuit.

“New York is perhaps our (SailGP’s) Monaco,” Ainslie said, referring to the popular but difficult Formula 1 auto racing venue, also known as racing’s crown jewel.

“As a location, New York is iconic. But it’s a tricky circuit,” Ainslie added, during our Zoom interview this week. “There’s not a lot of space in New York Harbor, and whether the wind is blowing over Manhattan or Jersey City to wherever, it’s going to be disturbing and make for a pretty challenging race course.”

Midway through SailGP’s current and fourth season, the Emirates GBR made a personnel move that has begun to pay off. Ainslie said he opted to “step off the boat and replace himself at the driver position with fellow veteran Giles Scott.

The 36-year-old Scott has also won his share of titles, including six sailing World Championships and two Olympic gold medals, at Rio De Janeiro 2016 and Tokyo 2020, both in the Men’s Finn sailing competition.

“Giles is now steering the boat, and he’s a seriously talented sailor and has been involved with us in the America’s Cup. One of the top names in the sport.”

Ainslie mentioned that even with Scott’s track record and expertise in sailing, SailGP is a different animal. SailGP’s format and treacherous courses are their own trial by fire—or, perhaps, trial by water.

“The opportunity to train (for SailGP races) is very limited,” Ainslie said. “You might get one or two days on the water before each event.”

Ainslie added that during Scott's first few events after taking over the driver spot from him, there was “either no wind” on practice days or training days that got canceled because of conditions.

Yet, Scott drove the boat during Emirates GBR’s win in Halifax. Paired with Emirates GBR strategist and fellow Olympic gold medalist sailor Hannah Mills , the British team’s trajectory has only gone up and puts them in a great position for the next SailGP season.

“The way it goes is that there’s little preparation for these sailing events,” said Ainslie, “and keep in mind these are the best sailors in the world.”

SailGP teams have eight-member crews, with six on board during the race. The six on-board roles are driver, strategist, wing trimmer, flight controller and two grinders.

Part grit, part strategy, part hive mind

Looking at the standings of the SailGP’s first three seasons, it’s clear that Team Australia, led by Tom Slingsby, is the team to beat. Slingsby made his name in sailing or racing boats much smaller than SailGP’s 50-foot double hulls, 24m sail F50 foiling catamarans—winning an Olympic gold medal in the Men’s Laser class at the London Summer Games in 2012.

But the British Emirates team are also within the top tier. In the first two seasons of SailGP, the British team took 4th place overall, and finished in third place last season.

Ainslie says that racing in SailGP is very different from racing some of the smaller boats that both he and Slingsby have raced in Olympic circuits.

“It’s very much a team game. And that was a change for me, coming from a single competitor background.” He added that the skillset gained from racing Finn and Laser boats is not necessarily transferable to SailGP. That said, in sailing Ainslie said there is “an innate feel for the sport, the water and the waves, and that doesn't really change, whether you’re doing ten kilometers per hour or a hundred kilometers per hour.”

Meanwhile, communication in SailGP is key. It’s one thing Ainslie said that the Emirates GBR team does well, and helps keep them on their game.

“Communication is absolutely critical. We’re maneuvering on a really tight course with so many other boats, and the people on board have to know exactly what maneuver is coming up and when.”

All members of SailGP teams wear not only protective gear that looks customary and similar to other racing sports. They also wear helmets and communication systems that filter out wind and water noise, while allowing crew members to hear each other succinctly.

“We have our shorthand ways of communication. There’s probably a bit of British slang in our boat,” said Ainslie. “But, there’s definitely no time to have a debate or waffle. It’s got to be really clear.”

Each boat has a crew of five; the helmsmen steer the boat, while the flight controllers manage ride height to ensure the boat doesn’t touch down during maneuvers. Wing trimmers control the boat’s 24m wing sail, and two grinders that keep up hydraulic pressure to power adjustments to the sails for optimum speed.

Ainslie also said that the Emirates GBR team has worked in the past with Great Britain’s Special Forces to optimize and tighten up communications techniques, on and off the water.

As SailGP moves toward its 2024-2025 season, the international racing league is looking to add teams and sponsor partners. SailGP announced this week that a Brazilian team will be added for Season 5, which starts in November.

Hannah Mills, a decorated Olympic gold medalist and an Emirates GBR strategist, explained that her team may have the ultimate sporting partner in Emirates.

“Having Emirates come on board with our team was massive. It gave us a lot of autonomy in how we run the team and gave us a competitive advantage,” Mills said. “Being part of the Emirates family is prestigious.”

The airline group based in the United Arab Emirates has already made a hugely successful foray into soccer , the world’s most popular sport, as title sponsor for mega clubs Real Madrid , AC Milan, and England’s Arsenal FC, among others.

“In the Middle East,” Mills added, “sailing has become a really big sport. And there is also a big push there to get women involved, and make it accessible to anyone who wants to go sailing.”

In addition to Emirates GBR’s win in Nova Scotia in early June, the team also scored back-to-back wins last September in Saint-Tropez, France, and Taranto, Italy, adding points to the current season standings.

Since mid-season, the British team has perhaps found its stride, with Scott driving the boat and Ainslie running the organization at large. Ainslie spoke humbly about their quick progress since the May SailGP race in the Bahamas, in which Emirates GBR placed 8th.

“It’s a team sport, and the course is tough for everyone.” But by adding Scott to the mix, Ainslie said, “We’ve had quite some turn-around.”
