2018 Belize Motoryachts 66 Sedan with IPS

A totally new tradition reaches a higher level World Premiere - 2018

Luxury marque Belize has commenced the build of the latest in its line of classically-styled motor yachts, the Belize 66.

The new model builds on the heritage, first unveiled in 2011, of a luxury motor yacht that evokes the styles of a bygone era of yachting, of gleaming hand-crafted interiors and, most importantly, of individuality.

New sense of space, luxury and comfort

Now Belize has taken the concept of a semi-custom motor yacht to a new level with the Belize 66, a vessel that delivers a new sense of space, comfort and luxury and offers an unmatched level of customisation and bespoke elements.

Available in sedan or daybridge models, the Belize 66 offers three or four cabins with a large space between the midship master stateroom and the engine room that can be optioned for a wide range of purposes.

Luxury and practicality

From the moment of arrival on board - via side bulwark doors or the transom gates - the Belize 66 speaks of luxury and Australian practicality at every level.

The teak-laid swim platform is built in two section. Two thirds of the platform is fully submersible to assist in tender launch and retrieval while a smaller section remains fixed. The garage under the cockpit has space for a Brig 330 or Palm Beach tender.

Spacious interior

Stepping inside to the massive saloon area, a large and efficient U-shape galley with stone benchtop lies to starboard with induction cooktop, convection microwave, fridges, freezers and a pantry opposite.

Moving forward and one step up from the galley is the dinette to starboard with a free-standing lounge or armchair opposite. The chair can be moved across the space to add to dinette seating. Owners will personalise this entire space with a select choice of fabrics and bespoke finishes.

Designed after owner feedback

Mr Moxey said he and designer Stephen Ford worked for two years on concepts before extensive consultation with current Belize 54 owners.

All of the design concepts were developed utilising the very latest version of Unigraphics 3-D computer-aided design (CAD) software, exactly the same systems as used by Formula 1 motor racing teams around the world. The software models Stephen Ford and the design team developed allowed them to provide a virtual walk-through tour of the proposed motor yacht.

Development begins

The Belize 66 is now in development, with the first boat - a sedan - scheduled for delivery in mid-2018.

Riviera's Motor Yacht Specialist in charge of overseeing the Belize 66 build, Doug Nelson, said the plug work for the Belize 66 hull is now almost completed.
