The Champagne Yacht – Hokulani
The luxurious and easily identifiable motor yacht Hokulani is a classy addition to the high seas. Much like its owner Nicole Kidman, the Hokulani is sleek and elegant. The luxury motor yacht was constructed by the American yacht building company Palmer Johnson and launched in 2007.
Fine naval architecture
The Hokulani measures 45.97 metres and has an aluminium superstructure and hull. Twin MTU 4000 engines with 3,650 hp each propel the yacht to a maximum speed of 29 knots. While guests enjoy cruising around on the ocean, they can make use of the large selection of water toys. From tenders, waterskis and tows to PWCs, wakeboards and snorkelling equipment – the Hokulani has every toy a water enthusiast could want. For those who prefer their fun indoors, there are is a fully integrated entertainment system in every area that includes music, iPod docking stations, radio, television and a selection of movies.
Contemporary elegance
The modern and tasteful interior work across the yacht’s three levels was envisioned by the world-class design team at Nuvolari-Lenard. It features natural wood furnishings and fittings, and an atmosphere of understated elegance. Large windows in the main salon offer panoramic views of the outside environment. There is a spacious sundeck and large sun pads on the main deck. Three dining areas on the Hokulani can accommodate up to ten guests each at a time. Several classically decorated lounging areas are dotted around the yacht. The glass atrium roof panel located on the fly bridge allows visitors the choice between cruising in the sunshine or with the shades drawn.
