And, cruising enthusiasts who\u2019ve experienced Art of Kinetik yachts often describe them as floating works of art. So, the name fits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Art of Kinetik Yachts, the Status Symbol for the Rich and Famous<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Italian-designed, wood-based yachts built in the \u201850s became instant status symbols for the rich and famous. Sixty years later, Boris Ivanovic, a Serbian telecommunications entrepreneur with a civil engineering background, founded Art of Kinetik, aka AOK. His dream: Build entirely customized ultra-luxurious wooden yachts that embraced the exquisite craftsmanship, design and quality of the Italian classics \u2013 with one exception. He planned to give them a 21st-century look along with all the bells and whistles modern technology offers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Building One of the Best Custom-Made Luxury Yachts<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

First, he founded a small shipyard in, of all places, landlocked Belgrade, Serbia. To some, this seemed risky. Not to Boris. The yard had the requisite workshops \u2013 composite, metal, carpentry and upholstery \u2013 necessary to design and build a series of custom AOK yachts.
Then, he brought machines and equipment in from Italy and established partnerships with recognized designers, including Germany\u2019s foremost interior designer, Alv Kintscher, to ensure interiors and accessories were first-class. Next, he made arrangements to send his \u201cmarine\u201d wood hulls to Germany to undergo a hydrothermal process that increased resilience and toughness. And, finally, he hired a crew of designers, engineers and craftsmen with the experience and exacting skills required to construct and assemble completely custom-made luxury yachts. In 2012, his efforts paid off. Art of Kinetik\u2019s very first model, the 62-foot Hedonist, was a huge hit. Today, Art of Kinetik produces three models \u2013 the Hedonist, Antagonist and Mazokist \u2013 ranging from 32 to 67 feet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ultimate in Luxury, Performance and Comfort<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

From hand-sanded African mahogany hulls, ergonomic captain\u2019s chairs and Rolls Royce water jets to touchscreen displays and advanced night vision systems, AOK yachts are the ultimate in luxury, performance and comfort. But Art of Kinetik yachts aren\u2019t for everyone. Each one takes up to a year to build and the price tag is hefty. And lovers of the classic retro design sometimes can\u2019t quite wrap their heads around AOK\u2019s sleek, jet-set version.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
