50m semi-displacement Book Ends arrives at palm beach 2025


The Palm Beach International Boat Show may be over, but the memory of the 50m Book Ends’ impressive arrival lingers

Witness the precision and expertise of Capt Antonio docking the 50m “Book Ends” at the Palm Beach Boat Show.

Built by Heesen in 2022, Book Ends is a full aluminium 50m semi-displacement displacing 499 GT. Navigating the waters of the Intracoastal Canal, they faced 15-knot winds and a 2-knot current, requiring exceptional control, a keen eye and precise handling.

Docking at the boat show is a complex task, akin to solving an intricate puzzle, where Captain Antonio expertly balances throttle control and bow thruster to counteract natural forces.

The crew, serving as the captain’s trusted support, meticulously measured distances and efficiently secured mooring lines to the pilons. Their training and expertise ensure every maneuver is executed with precision, turning the docking process into a seamless operation.

In the realm of luxury yachting, each docking is a reflection of experience, teamwork, and an intimate understanding of the vessel and how she manoeuvres in close quarters.
