At the end of February, Houston billionaire Tilman Fertitta and his family held an annual Mardi Gras celebration, which they call the San Luis Salute. The event, which included local officials and celebrities, was headlined by the band Maroon 5. But the most visible VIP guest at the gala was Fertitta’s majestic new superyacht, Boardwalk.  

The 252-foot Feadship is indeed a showstopper. It was the largest vessel at the Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show, and hundreds of people walking the docks took selfies against Boardwalk ’s towering stern, with a H130 helicopter perched on the top deck. Fertitta and his family enjoyed the show from the comfort of the yacht—from the main-deck’s rear cockpit lounge to be precise.

It’s Fertitta’s favorite spot on his new yacht, a sanctuary protected from the wind and sun, but still exposed to the ocean. It’s also a microcosm of Boardwalk ’s very intricate design. The stern has the requisite lounges, bar and large flat-screen television, but that’s where it differs from other yachts. The ceiling has delicate curves, there are many lights embedded into the area above the bar, and the trim on the columns supporting the stern’s overhang is highly stylized.

“I don’t think any other owner pays as much attention to the details,” Fertitta told Robb Report during a visit to the yacht. “If you look at the bigger yachts, they really don’t vary much with standard features like ceilings and lighting.”

“Tilman came in with all the important details—all the details that really make the difference in this boat,” adds Amy Halffman, who worked closely with Fertitta on the design. “He’s an extreme detail man, down to the quarter of an inch.”

The Houston entrepreneur has made a highly successful career out of paying attention to the details. Named by Forbes as the “World’s Wealthiest Restaurateur,” the chairman of Fertitta Entertainment and chairman of Landry’s has an empire that also includes the Houston Rockets NBA team, multiple restaurants, Bentley and Rolls-Royce dealerships, and five-star hotels.

Fertitta’s Post Oak Hotel in Houston, in fact, provided inspiration for Boardwalk . “We spent a lot of time meeting at the hotel,” says Halffman. “He had a lot of input into that design, which is classy and elegant, so we decided to reflect that style on the yacht.”

This Feadship is actually Halffman’s fifth yacht project with Fertitta, the other four Boardwalks being a succession of ever-larger Westports, the most recent being 165 feet in length. After owning it for 12 years, “it felt like time for a larger project,” says Fertitta. “One that was more complex and elaborate.”

While upsizing by almost 100 feet sounds like a simple hull stretch, the Feadship has 1,848 gross tonnes of interior volume, compared to 492 on the last Westport—in other words, the latest Boardwalk has nearly four times as much interior as the last one. That makes not only for a very complicated build—something which bespoke builder Feadship is used to—but also a new mindset for the interior design, which the design team needed to wrap their heads around.

Halffman and design partner Frank Woll came up with the concept about four years ago, and then worked closely with the owner on the yacht’s many features. There are hundreds of features, seen and unseen, that distinguish the interior.

The most noticeable—arresting, in fact—is a whimsical, fantasy-like sculpture of a bronze female form with a dress of flowing crystals, diamonds and pearls. The work by Estella Fransbergen is strategically placed in the main entry. “She’s like a guardian angel,” says the sculptor, noting it took nearly two years to complete. “She was originally going to be placed by the staircase, but we moved her so she greets everyone.”

“I’d seen Estella’s work years ago and admired it,” says Halffman. “The torso of the woman’s body appealed to everyone and proved to be a launchpad for me. It played off all the other features.” They include an enormous crystal in the main foyer, pendant chandeliers in the formal dining area beside a case with crystal wear, and bespoke crystal light fixtures on the nearby stairway—which also has a beautiful stainless railing that resembles a feature from the last Boardwalk , but on a much grander scale.

The designers looked for striking but elegant stones—a white opal for the salon and an onice grigio for the sky lounge—mixed with Sapele, mahogany and other dark-stained woods that show contrast with the light-colored fabrics and tiling. The wine cellar even has a custom stainless-steel design that gives it a distinctive look. In all, 55 stones, marbles and tiles were used across the yacht.

Of course, all these stunning details were made possible by the ubiquitous placement of lighting, both direct and indirect, something that Fertitta understands with almost a scientific precision. His previous Westport had four times more lights than the yard had ever put on the 164-foot series. This Feadship paid even more attention to the lighting. Even the beach club, with its lounge and dedicated dive and watersports locker, has a stylish, deliberate look. The bar has a light fixture comprised of Swarovski crystals.

The yacht, though immense, is easy to navigate. Fertitta and longtime captain Tristan Judson paid attention to the functional aspects, creating an open foredeck where the two Hogdon-built tenders are stored, adding the ability to use the massive area for social occasions. The sundeck has a mosaic-tiled swimming pool, and above that is an observation deck with a mast. On that level, one gets a sense of how large Boardwalk really is, surrounded by smaller superyachts at the Fort Lauderdale show.

Still, the owner and his designers managed to keep a sense of intimacy throughout, installing what they call a “country kitchen” as the owner’s galley, to allow more informal meals and socializing than the main dining room, while retaining the yacht’s professional galley for the staff on another deck. Fertitta, who often works on board, has an office dressed with light-colored fabrics, lounges and glass doors to access the exterior decks.

The Feadship may not be Fertitta’s last yacht. Rumor has it that he’s talking to European yards about an even larger Boardwalk . When asked about it, he says simply: “I love to build things.”

Houston Billionaire Tilman Fertitta’s Superyacht Causes a Greek Stir — The Boardwalk Continues to Turn Heads

The houston rockets owner travels on an anything but ordinary boat and the stories behind it are becoming legendary.

W hile hiking through the woods lining Greece’s Corinth Canal, a local Greek television reporter took a video of billionaire Tilman Fertitta’s superyacht Boardwalk squeezing through the Corinth Canal. He documented a snippet of the four mile journey and posted it on the TV station’s website with the headline: “Who is its billionaire owner?”

It didn’t take long for the Greek news hounds to discover that entertainment and sports mogul Fertitta was the owner. The video posted on the website shows the 252 foot long, 40 foot wide yacht gliding through the canal, which at its most narrow point is 69 feet. The manmade canal is the watery path leads from the Aegean to the Ionian sea, which opens to the Mediterranean

Sailing on a superyacht from the Greek Isles to the enchanting coast of Italy is definitely the realm of the world’s richest.

Recent reporting in national publications are shedding more light on the superyacht ‘s mastery of luxe design. Among the numerous amenities in the Tilman yacht that sleeps 14 — including the VIP suite — are a 120 bottle wine cellar, a lavishly decorated beauty/massage room, a 19-foot-long swimming pool, a bronze sculpture of a female form by Estella Fransbergen with a dress of flowing crystals, diamonds and pearls, and the billionaire requisite — a helicopter pad.

“I don’t think any other owner pays as much attention to the details,” Fertitta told Robb Report during a visit to his yacht. “If you look at the bigger yachts, they really don’t vary much with standard features like ceilings and lighting.”

Robb Report first gushed over Fertitta’s superyacht in the luxury lifestyle magazine last year.

Luxurious Bath & Candles

In addition, the magazine quoted Seattle-based yacht interior designer Amy Halffmann. “Tilman came in with all the important details — all the details that really make the difference in this boat. He’s an extreme detail man, down to the quarter of an inch,” Halffmann told the magazine.

The luxe interiors of the Fertitta superyacht include 54 different types of stone, marble and tiles, including mother of pearl tiles, a light pendant by Charles Loomis , appliqués by Wired Custom Lighting and a glass sculpture from David Wright .

“I was going for classic elegance – beautiful spaces that could stand the test of time, and I think we achieved that,” Halffman tells Boat International .

A limited number of Houstonians and Galveston residents are privy to the superyacht as each year Fertitta transports this — his second Boardwalk — to Galveston during Mardi Gras. He entertains VIP guests at a cocktail reception aboard the superyacht before the billionaire and friends join a police escort caravan to the Galveston Convention Center for Fertitta’s San Luis Salute to Mardi Gras.

Now, the rest of the world is getting in on the fascination.

17 Beautiful California Coastal Towns You’ll Kick Yourself for Missing

Summer is here, and if you’re dreaming of sun-soaked days and sandy toes, you’re in for a treat! Having lived in this golden state for three years, with two of those years dedicated to the incredible experience of vanlifing along the West Coast, I’ve driven to see many sunsets in many different coastal gems.

As a transplant to Los Angeles, I never knew that beach town to beach town could have such different vibes, but Venice is definitely not the same as Laguna Beach. I’m excited to share with you a guide to my favorite and the best coastal towns in California.

1. Santa Cruz

Santa Cruz is the epitome of coastal fun, blending its iconic boardwalk with a lively surf culture. The Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk, one of the oldest amusement parks on the West Coast, features the historic Giant Dipper roller coaster, a thrilling ride since 1924.

Beyond the rides, you can stroll along the wharf, where sea lions often lounge and local seafood is always fresh. Downtown Santa Cruz is just a short walk away, where it has an eclectic mix of shops, cafes, and street performers that give the town its unique vibe.

Best Things to Do: Ride the historic Giant Dipper at the Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk and check out the sea lions at the Santa Cruz Wharf. Surfing enthusiasts should hit Steamer Lane, one of California’s top surf spots.

2. Laguna Beach

Laguna Beach is renowned for its seven miles of hidden coves, tide pools, and beautiful beaches. The town has a thriving arts scene, including over 100 galleries and the annual Pageant of the Masters.

Main Beach is the heart of Laguna, a sandy escape right near the bustling downtown area. Here, you’ll find everything from quaint cafes to high-end boutiques, all with that laid-back beach town feel.

Best Things to Do: Laguna Beach’s Heisler Park has great scenic walking trails and picnic spots, while Main Beach is perfect for a day in the sun. Visit the Laguna Art Museum for Californian art and play in the tide pools at Crescent Bay. The Sawdust Art Festival is a local favorite for arts and crafts.

3. Carmel-by-the-Sea

Carmel-by-the-Sea is a picturesque town known for its charming cottages, art galleries, and white-sand beaches. The town’s fairytale-like atmosphere is enhanced by its lack of street addresses, street lights, and chain stores.

Ocean Avenue, the main thoroughfare, is lined with unique shops and world-class restaurants. Like much of California, dogs are warmly welcomed here, so you’ll see plenty of furry friends enjoying the beach and sidewalk cafes.

Best Things to Do: Ocean Avenue is the peak spot for shops and dining, and Carmel Beach is perfect for dog lovers. Visit Point Lobos State Reserve for hiking and wildlife spotting, and explore the Mission San Carlos Borromeo for some history.

4. Capitola

Neighboring Santa Cruz, Capitola’s beachfront is full of rainbow cottages. The town’s gentle waves make it a peaceful beach day. Capitola Wharf extends into Monterey Bay with fishing and beautiful views. Capitola Village is exciting with plenty to window shop past and eat in.

Best Things to Do: Explore the colorful Capitola Village and walk along the Capitola Wharf. Visit the Capitola Historical Museum and relax at Capitola Beach. New Brighton State Beach is just a short drive away for more beach fun.

5. Avila Beach

Avila Beach is a tranquil seaside town known for its gentle waves and lovely pier. The beach itself is perfect for families, thanks to its calm waters and clean sand.

Just inland, the Avila Valley has hot springs for a soothing soak. The town also has a series of hiking trails with beautiful views of the coastline and the surrounding hills.

Best Things to Do: Relax at Avila Hot Springs after a stroll on the Avila Beach Pier and visit the Point San Luis Lighthouse for a historical tour. The Bob Jones City to Sea Trail is great for biking and wine tasting at the local wineries.

6. La Jolla

A popular day trip from San Diego , La Jolla is famous for its dramatic cliffs and luxury residences. The town has a range of outdoor activities, from kayaking and snorkeling in La Jolla Cove to walking so close to sea lions, you’re only a few feet away.

Its upscale shops and restaurants are a great place to try farm fresh restaurants with a heavy Mexican influence. La Jolla Shores is a popular, family-friendly beach with gentle waves and soft sand.

Best Things to Do: La Jolla Cove is ideal for snorkeling and kayaking, while the Birch Aquarium showcases engaging marine life exhibits. Walk to La Jolla Shores Beach and explore the tide pools. Just in the north, Torrey Pines State Natural Reserve has beautiful hiking trails and is a popular spot for paragliding.

7. Pismo Beach

Pismo Beach is a classic Central Coast town known for its long pier and clam chowder scene. I can attest, the clam chowder is very good. The beach is perfect for sandcastle building and a lazy day out in the sun.

For the more adventurous, go ATV’ing or join a dune buggy tour in the nearby Oceano Dunes. The town also has a variety of laid-back shops and restaurants that line the streets.

Best Things to Do: Walk the Pismo Beach Pier for fishing and ocean views, and ride ATVs on the Oceano Dunes. Try the famous clam chowder at Splash Cafe, and visit Monarch Butterfly Grove in winter or Dinosaur Caves Park.

8. Bodega Bay

Bodega Bay’s picturesque area is famous for its role in Alfred Hitchcock’s film “The Birds.” The windswept beaches are great for flying kites, while the rugged coastlines attract photographers. The town’s seafood shacks serve up some of the freshest crab you’ll ever taste.

Outdoor enthusiasts can enjoy all sorts of activities in the nearby state parks. And don’t miss out on Bodega Head for whale watching during the migration season.

Best Things to Do: Hike the Bodega Head Trail for panoramic ocean views and savor fresh crab at Spud Point Crab Company. Doran Regional Park has camping and fishing, while the Bodega Marine Lab provides guided tours.

Malibu is synonymous with pristine beaches, celebrity homes, and top-tier surfing spots. This Los Angeles day trip destination stretches along 21 miles of scenic coastline with everything from wide sandy beaches to secluded coves.

Malibu’s Zuma Beach is popular with families and surfers alike, while El Matador Beach is my personal favorite as it’s covered with sea stacks jutting out of its clean sand. All along Malibu, head inland for trails facing out into the ocean.

Best Things to Do: Surf at Zuma Beach or dine at Malibu Farm Cafe on the pier. Hike the scenic trails at Point Dume State Beach and visit the famous Getty Villa for art and artifacts. Go look at all the expensive rare cars in the parking lot of Malibu Country Mart.

10. Encinitas

Encinitas is a laid-back surfer town with beautiful beaches and botanical gardens. The town is split into several distinct areas. Moonlight Beach is perfect for families, while Swami’s Beach is a world-renowned surf spot. Downtown Encinitas is a mix of unique shops, cafes, and restaurants, great for an afternoon wandering around.

Best Things to Do: Visit the San Diego Botanic Garden for exotic plants or the Self-Realization Fellowship Gardens and surf or sunbathe at Swami’s Beach, a local favorite.

11. Mendocino

Mendocino (not the restaurant) is one of the best places along Highway 101 for rugged cliffs along the Pacific Ocean. This small village is dotted with charming Victorian homes and green gardens.

Mendocino Headlands State Park surrounds the town with several miles of coastal vista trails and opportunities for whale watching.

Best Things to Do: Hike the Mendocino Headlands State Park for cliffside views and visit the plant collections at Mendocino Coast Botanical Gardens. Explore the historical Ford House Museum and walk through the quaint downtown area. Russian Gulch State Park has more trails and a beautiful waterfall.

12. San Clemente

San Clemente combines Spanish-style architecture with a strong surf culture and scenic coastal trails. Its historic pier is a central hub, surrounded by beaches that are perfect for surfing and swimming. The town’s downtown area, Avenida Del Mar, is lined with lively shops and restaurants.

Best Things to Do: Surf at Trestles and stroll down Avenida Del Mar for shopping and dining. Visit the Casa Romantica Cultural Center for art and gardens, and walk the San Clemente Pier. The San Clemente Coastal Trail is a great waterfront trail.

13. Newport Beach & Balboa Island

Newport Beach is a coastal city known for its beautiful sandy beaches and luxurious lifestyle. It has one of the largest small yacht harbors in the world. The Newport Pier provides scenic ocean views, and the surrounding area is filled with chic restaurants and boutiques. People come for the watersports, and whale watching is a fun option, too.

Nearby, take the ferry to get to Balboa Island, a place full of beach vacation homes and fun at Balboa Fun Zone.

Best Things to Do: Take a boat tour around Newport Harbor or try watersports like stand-up paddleboarding. Walk the Balboa Pier for fishing and views, and explore Balboa Island on foot or by renting a bike. Eat their famous frozen bananas.

14. Morro Bay

Morro Bay is instantly recognizable by its iconic Morro Rock, a massive volcanic plug that towers over the bay. The waterfront area is lined with seafood restaurants and galleries; you can find plenty of water activities to try out.

My favorite place is actually just south of the Rock, at Montana de Oro State Park, which I think is one of the most gorgeous State Parks in the country.

Best Things to Do: Kayak around Morro Rock for close-up views. The Embarcadero is lined with seafood restaurants and shops. Definitely go to Montana de Oro State Park at sunset.

15. Half Moon Bay

Half Moon Bay combines scenic coastal bluffs with pumpkin patches and excellent seafood. The town’s beaches are ideal for long walks, tide pooling, and picnicking. Nearby, the Half Moon Bay State Beach has miles of sandy shores with a backdrop of rolling hills. Coastal farms also offer seasonal activities like pumpkin picking in the fall.

Best Things to Do: Half Moon Bay State Beach is great for a relaxing day by the water, and visiting one of the local pumpkin farms in the fall is a must. Hike the coastal trails at the Ritz-Carlton Half Moon Bay, or stop by Pillar Point Harbor for fresh seafood. Mavericks Beach is famous for its big wave surfing.

16. Oceanside

Oceanside is a classic Southern California beach town with a strong arts scene. The historic wooden pier is a focal point, popular for fishing and stunning sunset views. The town has the California Surf Museum, which explores surfing culture. With excellent surf breaks and a laid-back atmosphere, Oceanside attracts surfers and those looking to relax by the sea.
