You don't see this sort of thing every day—unless you're in Fort Lauderdale.

While out with Captain Tom on a cool trial of Maritimo's impressive new M50, we happened to pass by the recently floated $500 million Lürssen Superyacht Nausicaä. Formerly known as Project Cosmos, she was reportedly sketched out by Apple and Aquariva designer/engineer Marc Newson for Japanesse billionaire Yusaku Maezawa. The 44-year netted a few cool billion through an online an online fashion marketplace called Zozotown some years back. Despite an easy to mispronounce name, Maezaw's baby is 375 feet long and boasts elements like an icebreaking hull, two-floor art gallery, a sushi bar, and a hydrogen-methanol based fuel cell system that lets her generate electricity without diesel. Propulsion comes from a 2 megawatt five-engine diesel-electric system that drives two electric Azimuth pods. She can reportedly run for some time on her fuel cells as a zero emission vessel. There's also what looks to be a decent sized fishing boat tucked into her stern. Anybody know what it is? And if someone can FedEx us a dynamite roll from Nausicaä's sushi chef, well, we'd appreciate it.

Coming or going? We were just out on a sea trial of new M50 when we spotted something unusual on Fort Lauderdale’s New River. How do yacht owners get their big boats up a channel so curvy that it’s known as “The Wiggles?” Serious ingenuity from the local tow companies. No pressure on these tow boat operators, none at all.

Here is a textbook example as to why, when naming your vessel, it should always be something absolutely intelligible.

Just take this port authority directive, or perhaps a MAYDAY, PAN PAN, or SÉCURITÉ, add in a bit of radio crackle, a dire voice in distress, and that could be all she wrote for you and your "uniquely-named" vessel when you could have just named her, say, "Tom Cat" or "Moonbeam."

We're suckers for a pretty boat. Evo Yachts just sent us photos of its 40th build, the bespoke Evo R4 Walkaround. Built in southern Italy, she looks well sorted for day cruising around the Mediterranean—with up to 12 guests. Evo prides itself on infinitely customizable variations in its builds. This 43 footer can be spec'd with 780 or 870 Volvo Penta IPS joystick propulsion that should push her near 40 knots. With hydraulic extensions, her rear terrace deck space can be expanded to 270 square feet. And her rear deck folds down right into the water. When we get to Italy for a test drive, you'll be the first to know.
