Turkish superyacht builder Sunrise Yachts has beaten off stiff competition to secure a contract for the construction of 68m ‘Skyfall’. The vessel, which will be project managed by Worth Avenue Yachts, will become the 19th, and largest yacht commissioned by legendary owner John Staluppi, to date.
Staluppi is renowned for commissioning projects that tread new ground and according to vice president of sales and marketing, Jean-Claude Carme, in an exclusive interview with SuperyachtNews.com, this latest project was imagined as a showcase for new technologies.
“The client has previously built the fastest yacht in the world and he is technically very exacting, as he should be”, Carme explained. “So for him to choose us to build his biggest yacht to date is recognition of what we’re trying to achieve.”
Sunrise fought off global competition for the client’s contract, and Carme says it is a testament to the yard, and Turkish shipbuilding in general. There was interest from bidders in northern Europe, America and Asia, but the battle was won and lost on the technological proposals put forward by Sunrise. The yard liaised with Frank Mulder, who had worked on previous Staluppi projects, and identified the key systems to be included on board. These included a Voith Linear Jet propulsion system and the lauded MME microturbine system, which generated significant excitement among delegates at the 2013 Global Superyacht Forum, but is yet to be tested on a yacht of this scale. As Carme explains, “for a man who seeks ‘firsts’ the MME microturbine system was the perfect fit.”
What were the major facets of the bid? “Speed”, says Carme. A top speed of 23 knots for a full displacement steel hull where, “it can achieve a relatively high speed with a relatively low draft. This is important because of the client’s preference for cruising grounds such as the Bahamas and Florida.”
“The combination of speed, draft and volume defines a rather complex equation”, Carme continues. This was another reason for bringing Mulder, a purveyor of ‘fast designs’ in on the project.
The design, a conception of Italy’s Valicelli Design, fitted, says Carme, the client’s brief. And although it has undergone the obvious tweaks and adaptations in conjunction with Staluppi, was “the perfect fit”. Principal Andrea Valicelli said, “the originality of the style, playing with harmonious contrasts between soft and rigid formal elements is clearly noticeable in the sheer-line. Moreover, the low angle of the transom slope, reminiscent of a racing sailing yacht, and the long forward overhang help Project Skyfall to be a very slender yacht.”
Worth Avenue’s Peter Thompson has been advising Staluppi for many years, and is also an associate of Carme, so the rapport the various parties were able to establish was, according to Carme, also influential. Commenting on the resonance of the project Thompson said, “there are some yachts that become game changers, that alter the desires and aspirations of future designs simply becoming ‘the way of the future’; this is one of those yachts.”
Sunrise CEO, Guillaume Roché is currently preparing for the Miami Boat Show but he issued this statement to the industry:
“It means a lot to us to be chosen to build such an ambitious project, especially for one of the world’s most experienced yacht owners. It is both an acknowledgement of our achievements in the six short years of our shipyard’s operation, and a motivation to further pursue excellence in our standards. We are looking forward with great anticipation to this unique opportunity that is creating a floating work of art with creative and competent people.”
Like many of today’s rich, John Staluppi has a thing for yachts and James Bond. But unlike most of the rich, Staluppi has found a way to enjoy them both together and even make money in the process.
Staluppi, one of the nation’s largest private car dealers, has owned 18 yachts over the course of his life. All of them were named after James Bond films.

John Staluppi names all his yachts for James Bond films. Pictured here is “Diamonds Are Forever.”
There was “Goldfinger,” “Diamonds Are Forever,” “GoldenEye,” “Octopussy,” “The World is Not Enough” and the latest, which is under construction, is the 237-foot “Skyfall.”
When completed, it is expected that Skyfall will cost more than $60 million.
Over the past year, Staluppi gave “Secret Lives of the Super Rich” a tour of two of his recent boats—”Diamonds Are Forever” and the stand-in for “Skyfall” until the new boat is completed.
“James Bond is exciting, and I’m all about excitement,” he told CNBC.

Staluppi said his Bond fixation started as a kid growing up in Brooklyn, when he watched “Goldfinger” in the theater. (His favorite Bond film is “Moonraker.”)
After making his fortune, he started building Bond boats.
When asked how much he’s spent on Bond boats over the years, he said. “I have no idea. I never tried to add that up. I’d be scared.”
But while yachts are mostly seen by the wealthy as a money pit, Staluppi has been a wise investor. He’s flipped several of his Bond boats for a profit, and he charters them when he’s not using them.
“My last boat, we made very good money,” he said. “After the season was over, we made over two million bucks, after paying the expenses.”
He said he usually gets tired of a boat after two years.
“It keeps me young, it keeps me motivated and keeps me working hard, so I can afford the next big boat,” he said.
Among Bond boat lovers, no one can beat John Staluppi. The Long Island auto tycoon has built and owned 18 yachts named after Bond movies, from “Goldfinger” and “Mooonraker” to “Diamonds Are Forever” and “The World Is Not Enough.” The latter of those names is a megayacht/speedboat that’s 140 feet tall and can top 70 miles an hour.
Why the Bond boats?
“It’s exciting,” Staluppi said. “The name is exciting. Watching a ‘James Bond’ movie, you never know what’s going to happen next. And our boats always do the same.”
Staluppi is currently building “Spectre” with Benetti Yachts. The 220-foot yacht is expected to cost more than $50 million when it’s done. But unlike the movie, it won’t be released until 2017.
