The 57.5 metre long Superyacht Twizzle just takes your breath away. It is simply beautiful, graceful, and swims with absolute authority. The design and technology is a tribute to the hundreds of designers, engineers, craftsmen, and fitters that created her in the Royal Huisman Shipyard in Holland. The crew keeps her trim, clean and tidy. It is, in short, a really beautiful sea creature. You can check out her pedigree on www.twizzle.org where they also describe the ship's committment to environmental issues. She has, for example, a yacht carbon offset policy to assure a zero carbon footprint. They fund projects, like a geothermal energy plant in Guatamala, to balance their diesel carbon emmissions.

This sphere image was taken at the Marina Port Sud superyacht wharf in Noumea just after I was aboard talking with the captain about his upcoming cruise through New Caledonia and Vanuatu. We went over his planned voyage using the cruising guides that Freddy and I produce.
