Superyacht Believe is back on the market with a price drop

Bob Cury at RJC Yacht Sales reports that superyacht Believe is back for sale after a $1 million price cut.

Believe is a 39.62m tri-deck motor yacht built by Westport in 2005 as part of their 130 series.

She was designed by Bill Garden and Greg Marshall, with an interior from Sheryl Guyan of Pacific Custom Interiors. She's equipped with twin MTU 12V 2000 M90 engines, allowing top speeds of 28-plus knots.

Her interior accommodation consists of five staterooms including an on-deck master stateroom and two VIP king-size staterooms with en suite bathrooms below. Her skylounge boasts a home theater with 63" TV and she has Kaleidescape system throughout.

Upgrades over the years include a new exterior paint job by Rybovich in 2010, new soft goods inside, three new waverunners, Jastrom digital steering and Asea seamless power transfer, and her custom hot tub was relocated to the bow.

Believe is listed for sale by Robert J. Cury & Associates, asking $9.9 million. She will be featured in the RJC display at the Hyatt Pier 66 face dock during the upcoming Fort Lauderdale boat show.

River Cruise on Luxurious Radisson Boat

• Description
• Choose date

Equipped with ice-breaking technology, these huge fancy yachts are the only river cruisers running all year around. The round trip journey takes two and a half hours and floats past all the big sights like the White House, Novodevichy monastery and the Kremlin. There’s a large open air observation deck up top, while the main body of the ship houses a restaurant with a dance floor for a romantic post dinner dance. For a particularly romantic experience take one of the evening boats and admire the bright lights of the city skyline at night.

The most relaxing and picturesque tour that Moscow can offer: a great way to see the city center and its main attractions. This is a perfect alternative to exploring the city by car, if you only have time to do sightseeing during weekday rush hours.

Your English-speaking guide is eager to share every bit of their knowledge about the surrounding landscape, the architecture and historical details.

We conduct Moscow river tour on Radisson Flotilla boats all year around!  It’s warm inside during winter months, while there’s air conditioning during hot summer days. You may also treat yourself to drinks, lunch or dinner on board (drinks and food are not included in tour price).

Cruising the Moskva River: A short guide to boat trips in Russia’s capital

There’s hardly a better way to absorb Moscow’s atmosphere than on a ship sailing up and down the Moskva River. While complicated ticketing, loud music and chilling winds might dampen the anticipated fun, this checklist will help you to enjoy the scenic views and not fall into common tourist traps.

How to find the right boat?

There are plenty of boats and selecting the right one might be challenging. The size of the boat should be your main criteria.

Plenty of small boats cruise the Moskva River, and the most vivid one is this yellow Lay’s-branded boat. Everyone who has ever visited Moscow probably has seen it.

This option might leave a passenger disembarking partially deaf as the merciless Russian pop music blasts onboard. A free spirit, however, will find partying on such a vessel to be an unforgettable and authentic experience that’s almost a metaphor for life in modern Russia: too loud, and sometimes too welcoming. Tickets start at $13 (800 rubles) per person.

Bigger boats offer smoother sailing and tend to attract foreign visitors because of their distinct Soviet aura. Indeed, many of the older vessels must have seen better days. They are still afloat, however, and getting aboard is a unique ‘cultural’ experience. Sometimes the crew might offer lunch or dinner to passengers, but this option must be purchased with the ticket. Here is one such  option  offering dinner for $24 (1,490 rubles).

If you want to travel in style, consider Flotilla Radisson. These large, modern vessels are quite posh, with a cozy restaurant and an attentive crew at your service. Even though the selection of wines and food is modest, these vessels are still much better than other boats.

Surprisingly, the luxurious boats are priced rather modestly, and a single ticket goes for $17-$32 (1,100-2,000 rubles); also expect a reasonable restaurant bill on top.

How to buy tickets?

Women holding photos of ships promise huge discounts to “the young and beautiful,” and give personal invitations for river tours. They sound and look nice, but there’s a small catch: their ticket prices are usually more than those purchased online.

“We bought tickets from street hawkers for 900 rubles each, only to later discover that the other passengers bought their tickets twice as cheap!”  wrote  (in Russian) a disappointed Rostislav on a travel company website.

Nevertheless, buying from street hawkers has one considerable advantage: they personally escort you to the vessel so that you don’t waste time looking for the boat on your own.

Prices start at $13 (800 rubles) for one ride, and for an additional $6.5 (400 rubles) you can purchase an unlimited number of tours on the same boat on any given day.

Flotilla Radisson has official ticket offices at Gorky Park and Hotel Ukraine, but they’re often sold out.

Buying online is an option that might save some cash. Websites such as  this   offer considerable discounts for tickets sold online. On a busy Friday night an online purchase might be the only chance to get a ticket on a Flotilla Radisson boat.

This  website  (in Russian) offers multiple options for short river cruises in and around the city center, including offbeat options such as ‘disco cruises’ and ‘children cruises.’ This other  website  sells tickets online, but doesn’t have an English version. The interface is intuitive, however.

Buying tickets online has its bad points, however. The most common is confusing which pier you should go to and missing your river tour.

“I once bought tickets online to save with the discount that the website offered,” said Igor Shvarkin from Moscow. “The pier was initially marked as ‘Park Kultury,’ but when I arrived it wasn’t easy to find my boat because there were too many there. My guests had to walk a considerable distance before I finally found the vessel that accepted my tickets purchased online,” said the man.

There are two main boarding piers in the city center:  Hotel Ukraine  and  Park Kultury . Always take note of your particular berth when buying tickets online.

Where to sit onboard?

Even on a warm day, the headwind might be chilly for passengers on deck. Make sure you have warm clothes, or that the crew has blankets ready upon request.

The glass-encased hold makes the tour much more comfortable, but not at the expense of having an enjoyable experience.

Getting off the boat requires preparation as well. Ideally, you should be able to disembark on any pier along the way. In reality, passengers never know where the boat’s captain will make the next stop. Street hawkers often tell passengers in advance where they’ll be able to disembark. If you buy tickets online then you’ll have to research it yourself.

There’s a chance that the captain won’t make any stops at all and will take you back to where the tour began, which is the case with Flotilla Radisson. The safest option is to automatically expect that you’ll return to the pier where you started.

Permissions and Terms of Use

During downtown Moscow’s signature period for growth development, the Hotel Moscow was developed by Robert Barton in 1892 and constructed by M.J. Shields and Company to replace the Barton House Hotel, a two-story wooden structure that had burned down the previous year. Brick and Boise sandstone compose the hotel’s Richardsonian Romanesque facades and help communicate a sense of permanence and high-style design in Moscow’s burgeoning core. Taylor and Lauder supplied the brick for the new Hotel Moscow, and for other commercial and bank buildings aspiring to utilize a more permanent and fire-proof material. The building also hosted a series of retail uses on the ground and split-level floors, including cigar and candy stores.

The identity of the architect for the hotel is unknown. Given the attention to detail and eloquent composition of the hotel’s primary facades, it seems unlikely that Barton designed the building without consulting an architect. The hotel bears a strong resemblance to Spokane architect Herman Preusse’s design for the 1890 Great Eastern Building in downtown Spokane. Preusse’s Richardsonian Romanesque building was destroyed by fire in 1898 and its exterior shell incorporated in a rebuild by architect Kirkand Cutter. Coincidentally with the Moscow Hotel’s design and construction, Preusse was actively engaged in designing College Hall for the newly founded Washington State College (University) just eight miles to the west of Moscow.

In 1937, the Hotel Moscow was expanded in tandem with the University of Idaho’s growing student enrollment. The compatible addition was designed by Ernest V. Price of the Spokane architecture firm, Whitehouse and Price. In 1959, Nicolas Bode purchased the building and continued operating it as a hotel until demand for downtown accommodations waned in favor of automobile-oriented motels. Bode responded to shifts in the market changes by converting the hotel’s upper floors to student apartments in 1974.

Architecturally, through its Richardsonian Romanesque-style massing and materiality, the Moscow Hotel continues to fulfill Barton’s aspirations to establish a commanding presence in the heart of a vibrant downtown. While some of the building’s distinctive ornamentation, including a bell-shaped cupola and curved stone pediments have been lost, adequate characteristics of the Richardsonian Romanesque style remain to help communicate the hotel’s former stature. Defining elements include use of light grey sandstone to contrast with brick exterior walls, cavernous arched stone entrances on principal facades, and rows of arched windows on the third floor capped with stone.

In keeping with Barton’s original vision, the former hotel also continues to provide an anchor for the social life of downtown Moscow, which has evolved into an entertainment district. The Garden Lounge, which has operated on the Moscow Hotel’s ground floor since the 1950s, remains a popular destination for area college students.
