Amid the marina of masts assembled for Hamilton Island Race Week, the Longreef 90 SX cut an exotic figure. More than a few deckies laying out sails paused to watch her moor.

“It’s hard not to notice,” states a justifiably proud Andy Young, CEO of Longreef Yachts. “She’s a lot of boat.”

She’s also the first 90-footer in the brand’s line-up, which also includes a 50SX and 60SX. A syndicated yacht named Carpe Diem, this vessel has a full-time captain and stewardess on board, and every conceivable mod con is packed into her impressive length and girth.

Built in southern China, Longreef motor yachts are custom-designed and built from the hull up.
