HBC

HBC started life as Project Blue Sky at Abeking & Rasmussen in 2008. She's been through four names since (Ann, C2, B2, HBC), a 7-metre stern extension in 2019 that took her from 78 to 85 metres, and a full Winch Design interior refit unveiled at the 2024 Monaco Yacht Show. Reymond Langton drew the original lines. What's left is a 2,150 GT superyacht with a 6,690-nautical-mile range, a crew of 28, and the kind of volume that most 85-metre yachts can only promise.

Twelve guests in eleven en-suite cabins across three decks. The master suite has his-and-hers bathrooms and a bathtub. The stern extension created a proper beach club below a glass-bottomed swimming pool that floods the space with light from the main deck above. There's an elevator serving all guest decks, a massage room, and a jacuzzi on the sun deck.

The toy inventory runs deep: five SeaBob F5-SRs, three waverunners, two e-foils, four kitesurfing rigs with 12 kites, six dive sets with compressor, glass-bottom kayaks, and a sea pool with jellyfish net. Three tenders handle shore access and diving operations.

She summers in the western Med (Riviera, Sicily, Greece, Turkey) and winters in the Caribbean out of Antigua. At 13.5 knots cruising, she's built for long passages, not day trips.
