TANZANITE Westship | From US$ 135,000 /wk

Built by Westship in 2004 and last refitted in 2019, 44.2m/145ft luxury yacht TANZANITE (ex.FIGHTING IRISH) was extensively refitted inside and out in 2019. Among her changes are new audio-visual entertainment systems, new generators and stabilisers, a new sundeck configuration and a hull repaint. Jack Sarin Naval Architects, Inc. designed her naval architecture, while the exterior styling is the work of Carr Design and the interiors by Katia Bates of Innovative Creations. The accommodation sleeps up to 10 charter guests over 5 en-suite staterooms, with a crew of 9 to ensure that everyone on board is well taken care of throughout the journey.

NOTABLE FEATURES OF TANZANITE: ~Sundeck extended by 3m/10ft ~Six-person sundeck Jacuzzi ~75" TV screens in main salon, skylounge and Master suite ~En-suite Jacuzzi bathtubs ~Four bars across the decks ~Air conditioning ~Wi-Fi

The main deck aft is a comfortable relaxation and socialising area off the main salon that offers a plush sofa along the stern with an elevated table for alfresco dining. A bar is placed close to the doors into the main salon, and to port and starboard, a walkway passes by the interior to connect with stairways up to the foredeck. The foredeck is furnished with a pair of curving sofas each with a drinks table for casual relaxation while taking in the panoramic forward views.

The upper deck places the tender and motorised water toys along the stern with a Davit crane for easy launch and retrieval. A circular alfresco dining table is placed in the centre beneath the shade of the sundeck overhang, with plenty of space for guests to stretch out after a meal.

The sundeck offers a six-person Jacuzzi along the stern with sunpads on both sides, and under the hardtop there is a port alfresco dining area with a wet bar opposite. The helm station controls are positioned forward, with plenty of seating for guests to unwind and take in the views.

The ambient interior styling uses dark colours on the walls and pales furnishings in a range of earthy colours for inviting social areas that draw the eye.

On the lower deck, the crew accommodation and facilities are placed in the bow with the four VIP staterooms (two of which convert into twins) amidships. The engine room is behind and a beach club is located in the stern.

On the main deck, the forward Master suite takes advantage of the full beam to provide a lounge area to starboard and a desk to port of the king-sized bed. A 75" TV screen is placed opposite the bed, and the forward en-suite bathroom offers spa facilities with a Jacuzzi tub and shower as well as his-and-hers sinks, heads and wardrobes.

couple of weeks ago, I mentioned following the 140ish Fighting Irish thru the Georgia ICW... it's pretty rare to see large yachts running that section of the ditch which is rather shallow in some spots unless you play the tide. here are some pictures... needless to say the captain was extremely courteous when passing other boats.

pretty crazy with a boat that size in a channel/ditch system i haven't heard from the ICW -till last week, i read a documentation of a german sailing from ft. lauderdales north about 700 miles up north no my question is: what clearance does the bridges have? or are those most likely swing bridges?

NYCAP123

NYCAP123 Senior Member

Once you get north of St. Augustine they're mostly 55 or 65' except for the sisters in Mayport. So. Carolina would be a nightmare with that boat. only a couple of low bridges, but the traffic & docks would keep him down to 4 kts. Other than that it's clear cruising until North Landing (NC) through Norfolk. That 1st shot shows quite a bow wake as she's approaching that boat. That radio probably crackled. My guess would be she'll head outside at Mayport avoiding that open ocean shortcut from Charleston to Ft. Pierce if the seas are still kicking up.

let me get a few things clear... the captain was, as expected, very professional and never waked anyone. he'd approach the slower boat then cut down to slow idle to pass with almost no wake. there is no point in slowing down to early anyway. RAM only apply to vessel restricted in their ability to maneuver due to the nature of their work. ex. dredging, diving operation, etc... the larger the boat, the smaller the wake at low speed... ie... a 140 footer will throw a smaller wake at 6kts than a 40 footer... as to sailboats not responding to slow pass request on 16? wrong... id' say 80% of them are on 16, reply and slow down to allow you to pass them at minimum wake. The shallowest spot in that stretch of the ICW (Savannah to Brunswick/St Simmons) is about 6' at low tide. The tides in GA average 6' so by playing the tides you can get a good cushion... I draw 6'+ on the Johnson 70 and had no issue. Jannick, the ICW is an incredible resource. it's about 1000NM from Norfolk VA to Miami, FL. speed/wake wise, 95% is unrestricted north of Palm Beach. There are a few low bridges but they either open on demand or on a published schedule (every half hour usually) so it's real easy to time your arrival. The only issue is depth due to insuficient dredging. the ICW used to be moslty a commercial waterway but with barge traffic on the decline, it's not as well maintained as it used to be. so even in areas where you could run on plane, it's often prudent to run at 9 to 10kts... Personally I love running the ditch. it depends on the schedule... if you want to save fuel money and run at 10kts, it makes sense. if fuel cost isn't a concern and you want to run 25 kts then you're better off running outside.
For the few boats that don't monitor their radios on the ICW a gentle sound signal always works. The killer sections of the ICW for anything more than an express are around Carolina Beach (There's also some bad shoals in that area) and from Southport through the pontoon bridge. Too many docks to damage forcing you to run at about 4 kts. Unless it's a pleasure cruise outside from Beaufort to Charleston is the way to go (weather permitting) as it saves a day. Same for the shot from Charleston to St. Augustine or Mayport. This year's been blowing up though.

"From Beaufort North to Coinjock, I avoid the ICW and run albermarle sound," I think you're referring to Pamlico Sound then into Albemarle. Personally I prefer Alligator River to Albemarle as Pamlico tends to kick up and you only lose a couple of hours. Beaufort to Norfolk on the inside is almost mandatory. That's Cape Hattaras. Did the outside there in a gale once...not twice. "I've also been stopping at Golden Isles if I can make it further then St. Aug, or Fernandina.....it's a nice easy stop." Melissa is a good dockmaster there, and they now have a good restaurant. We recently tried to make Charleston to St. Augustine, but the seas weren't co-operating. Most of the boats that left with us headed into Hilton Head. We pushed on to St. Simon which put us within range of Daytona on the inside. Watch that inlet in a cross wind though. Bad stuff on both sides (channel is good though) and it's a long entrance.

Great photos. Thinking that if I were the owner I'd be enjoying the trip and patting myself on the back for paying someone else to be doing the driving and worrying about draught and bridge schedules.
Yeah I've been running Pamlico to Albermarle and haven't had any issues with it kicking up (most I've seen was 2ft seas in there). Most of the yachts I run don't have any issues with 4' seas or so (which is the most I could imagine it kicking up in there.) But, it's a nice easy run where you can have the boat on autopilot and pretty much watch everything. Speaking of that area, has anyone run through Schoolhouse channel (from Pamlico to Oregon inlet?) I have never attempted it because I've heard the markers shift constantly. Some other of my favorite stops on the way up are, Ocean City, Rudee inlet (just north of Ocean city) is real easy with a marina just inside the inlet, Manasquan inlet...... Cape May...... Beaufort is good, so is the one where Bald head island/southport is......

I am the skipper on Fighting Irish and am a supporter of Yacht Forums. Nice photographs, please send more. We ran the ditch for three days from Savannah, GA to Ponce Inlet with little or no problem. We are 145' LOA draw 7' and have a 28' beam. A lot of my colleagues were in disbelief that we were able to run inside for that long. With fair tides, good charts, competent helmsmen and a reliable depth sounder, it is straightforward. There are numerous misconceptions about the ICW - controlling depths, bridges, hillbillies, disgruntled sail boaters, etc. Run the ICW for a few days and you will understand just how close knit the boating community is. I am surprised at how many boaters thanked me for slowing down. Courtesy is karma. Just because we are big doesn't allow us to be irresponsible. The ICW is a wonderful way to truly see the east coast and get a feel for the various rich cultures. It is also a good way to make progress while avoiding nasty weather, which is exactly what we were doing. Cheers for the good words, safe travels.

well said. I consider the ICW a great resource not to be missed if schedule allows, it's very scenic and really not a big deal. sorry i didn't get more pictures that's in part because i was alone on the boat and it's a skylounge. obviously pictures dont' come out very well thru glass and these narrow stretches are the wrong place to leave the helm to take pictures! it was an impressive sight! I cant' believe you "only" draw 7'.. i draw a good 6' at only 70'! i can email you the high res pics if you want, email me your address to pascal -a-t- yachtcharmer.com

Jon bon jovi shows support for notre dame from fighting irish-themed yacht, share this article.

the fighting irish yacht

While athletes and celebrities are showing their support on social media for their chosen teams competing in Saturday’s much-anticipated College Football Playoff, Jon Bon Jovi probably had the best and most outrageous way of delivering his message.

The musician tweeted a video of him on a giant yacht with Notre Dame decals on it — both the Fighting Irish mascot as well as the school’s logo — as Dropkick Murphys’ I’m Shipping Up To Boston played over it. It’s an interesting and kind of ridiculous flex for Bon Jovi but definitely a unique way to show which team he’s rooting for.

We’re ready for game day. @NDFootball #GoIrish pic.twitter.com/jK9yYwD6Ey — Jon Bon Jovi (@jonbonjovi) December 29, 2018

But while Bon Jovi has been a longtime Fighting Irish fan — he also often cheers for the New England Patriots on social media — his connection to the school and its football team is bigger than that. His son, Jesse Bongiovi, was a Notre Dame cornerback.

From a 2016 story in The Observer , Notre Dame’s students newspaper, when Bongiovi was a senior:

“When I was in eighth grade, I came to a game with my dad and basically I thought about how incredible it would be to go to Notre Dame and to be on the team and what an honor it is,” Bongiovi said. “Since I was a little kid I always wanted to be here. Tying that with the history and the academics and everything, it was kind of a no-brainer for me.”

Notre Dame and Clemson play Saturday in the College Football Playoff Cotton Bowl semifinal (4 p.m. ET, ESPN) for a chance to play in the national championship game. The winner of that matchup will face the winner of the Alabama-Oklahoma game (8 p.m. ET, ESPN).

Others cheering for Notre Dame include Jordan Spieth, but his message wasn’t quite as elaborate as Bon Jovi’s.

Thanks for the support, @JordanSpieth ! #GoIrish #BeatTigers pic.twitter.com/7w3Alk4WrQ — Notre Dame Football (@NDFootball) December 29, 2018
