PRIVATE AIR NEW YORK EDITOR'S NOTE Cleared for takeoff, Regina Russo Editor-in-Chief Private Air Magazine Welcome to our Fall Edition, themed Magnificent Obsessions, where we delve into the passions that drive the extraordinary. In this issue, we explore an array of exceptional features that capture the spirit of indulgence and luxury. From sprawling ranches that seamlessly blend nature and tradition, to groundbreaking innovations in private aviation that elevate the art of travel, every page offers something to stir the senses and captivate the connoisseur. As I write this, I'm still mesmerized by a recent unveiling that has left an indelible mark on my mind. The Ulyssia, a residential superyacht that redefines opulent living at sea, is not just a marvel of design but a floating universe of luxury. Imagine the subtle hum of the ocean beneath you as you stand aboard the deck, gazing at the endless horizon. Designed by the legendary Espen Øino and brought to life by Meyer Werft, this 1,050-foot vessel exudes sophistication at every turn. With 132 residences that offer sweeping ocean views, a state-of- the-art wellness center that wraps you in serenity, and the ability to explore the globe via two submersibles and helicopters, Ulyssia is the ultimate expression of boundless luxury and adventure. In addition to Ulyssia, this issue offers plenty to woo over for our discerning readers. Leading the charge is our aviation feature, where we explore the exhilarating rise in private jet ownership, driven by a new generation of luxury travelers. Picture yourself gliding effortlessly through the clouds, the world below shrinking into a patchwork of green and blue. Our insights from Jetcraft reveal the growing demand for pre-owned jets, each aircraft a masterpiece of efficiency and exclusivity. With jets like the Citation CJ4 Gen2 and Phenom 300E, these flying sanctuaries are where luxury meets precision, shaping the future of air travel. We also take you into the world of high jewelry with an exclusive feature on The Grand Lady Kalla by Vacheron Constantin. Imagine the glint of sunlight catching on 46 carats of expertly cut diamonds, each facet a reflection of centuries of craftsmanship. This masterpiece not only dazzles the eye but offers four distinct ways to wear it, making it the epitome of versatility and elegance. For those with an eye for investment, step into the sun-drenched beauty of the Great Harbour Cay Marina and Haines Cay in the Bahamas. Close your eyes and envision 265 acres of pristine, white sand beaches and azure waters, where luxurious living meets untapped development potential. This island paradise offers the perfect canvas for those seeking both serenity and opportunity. Design lovers will be drawn into the world of Cycle Bears, where gym spaces become personalized sanctuaries of fitness and beauty. Imagine sleek, polished finishes and custom equipment that not only enhance your workouts but create a space that feels as luxurious as it is functional. Crafted with meticulous attention to detail, each space exudes sophistication, turning every workout into an experience of indulgence.
