South Florida is synonymous with luxury yachting. With its warm climate, world-class marinas, and proximity to the Caribbean, the region has become one of the world’s premier yachting destinations—further bolstered by the migration of wealth down to places like Naples and Palm Beach. For industry insiders, South Florida is home to the largest boat show in the world, the Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show, as well as the glamorous Palm Beach International Boat Show, which this year saw a 25% increase in the number of vessels on display. This growth reflects the surge in interest in luxury yachting.
At the pinnacle of this experience is UTOPIA IV, an award-winning, 206-foot superyacht that blends high performance with Italian elegance. Whether you're on a family adventure down to the Bahamas or a bachelor party at the Miami Grand Prix, she represents the ultimate expression of sophistication on the water. Delivered by the esteemed Italian shipyard Rossinavi in 2018 and refitted in 2022, she exudes a sportscar-like profile with long, coupe-inspired lines. Powered by four MTU 16V 2000 M96L engines and Rolls-Royce hydro jets, she cruises effortlessly at 20 knots and reaches an exhilarating top speed of 25 knots. A sleek, high-performance vessel, UTOPIA IV is a superyacht built for those who demand both speed and style.
But her grandeur extends beyond her performance. UTOPIA IV boasts a lavish 986 GT interior, designed for seamless indoor-outdoor living. The yacht’s six-stateroom layout accommodates up to 12 guests, with a forward-facing Owner’s Suite that offers breathtaking 180-degree views through floor-to-ceiling windows. A private balcony, glass-enclosed Jacuzzi bath, and dedicated office elevate this space even further for multi-function use. For entertaining, the yacht offers expansive exterior deck spaces, highlighted by a large beach club with a full bar. On top of that, she features a glass-bottom pool filtering light below deck, an alfresco cinema, and a full-service elevator connecting every level.
With its shallow draft, UTOPIA IV is tailor-made for navigating The Bahamas, located only 50 nautical miles from Miami, where hidden sandbars and remote cays await. For an active vacation, The Berry Islands are a well-known destination for world-class fishing. Situated along a deep underwater trench, these islands draw an abundance of marine life and are even known for the hammerhead sharks that migrate through every year. From swimming with the famous pigs of Staniel Cay to exploring the pink sand beaches of Harbour Island, the Bahamas is one of the go-to yachting destinations from South Florida.
