Solar Yacht

Silent Yachts, which has a Miami Beach office, used the Palm Beach International Boat Show for the U.S. introduction of the first production yachts powered exclusively by solar. Four different models, which can include diesel hybrids or sails, are shown online at silentyachts.us. A major selling point is the yacht’s silent running, the maintenance-free motors, a 25-year solar panel warranty and a 10-year battery warranty. Prices start at 3.5 million euros (approximately $4.3 million), says a publicist.

Custom Clothing

Worth magazine has given an editor’s award to Mark Russell Clothing, which has offices in New York City and Boca Raton. Worth Editor-in-Chief Richard Bradley lauded Mark Russell’s service, prices and meticulous measurements. His custom-made suits are stylish down to the playful purple lining he picked out, Bradley writes.

Biking the Waves

Schiller Bikes had a U.S. launch party for its water bikes at The Standard Spa in Miami Beach on March 28. While the resort is making the bikes available to guests, consumers also can buy them at schillerbikes.com. Prices starting at $4,500. Schiller says it is the world’s most advanced water bike because it combines an optimized propeller design with a lightweight aluminum bike frame and rugged inflatable pontoons.

Premium Rum

Bacardí is launching two new premium products, Bacardí Añejo Cuatro ($19.99) and Bacardí Gran Reserva Diez ($39.99), to broaden its lineup of premium rums, which previously included its Reserve Ocho ($29.99) and Gran Reserva Limitada ($100). Bacardi, whose U.S. headquarters is in Coral Gables, says premium rums are only 15 percent of the market, compared with 53 percent for tequila and 43 percent for whiskey. Bacardí projects it could reap $550 million in additional sales.

Editor-in-Chief

BIOGRAPHY

Drew Limsky joined Lifestyle Media Group in August 2020 as Editor-in-Chief of South Florida Business & Wealth. His first issue of SFBW, October 2020, heralded a reimagined structure, with new content categories and a slew of fresh visual themes. “As sort of a cross between Forbes and Robb Report, with a dash of GQ and Vogue,” Limsky says, “SFBW reflects South Florida’s increasingly sophisticated and dynamic business and cultural landscape.”

Limsky, an avid traveler, swimmer and film buff who holds a law degree and Ph.D. from New York University, likes to say, “I’m a doctor, but I can’t operate—except on your brand.” He wrote his dissertation on the nonfiction work of Joan Didion. Prior to that, Limsky received his B.A. in English, summa cum laude, from Emory University and earned his M.A. in literature at American University in connection with a Masters Scholar Award fellowship.

Limsky came to SFBW at the apex of a storied career in journalism and publishing that includes six previous lead editorial roles, including for some of the world’s best-known brands. He served as global editor-in-chief of Lexus magazine, founding editor-in-chief of custom lifestyle magazines for Cadillac and Holland America Line, and was the founding editor-in-chief of Modern Luxury Interiors South Florida. He also was the executive editor for B2B magazines for Acura and Honda Financial Services, and he served as travel editor for Conde Nast. Magazines under Limsky’s editorship have garnered more than 75 industry awards.

He has also written for many of the country’s top newspapers and magazines, including The New York Times, Washington Post, Los Angeles Times, Miami Herald, Boston Globe, USA Today, Worth, Robb Report, Afar, Time Out New York, National Geographic Traveler, Men’s Journal, Ritz-Carlton, Elite Traveler, Florida Design, Metropolis and Architectural Digest Mexico. His other clients have included Four Seasons, Acqualina Resort & Residences, Yahoo!, American Airlines, Wynn, Douglas Elliman and Corcoran. As an adjunct assistant professor, Limsky has taught journalism, film and creative writing at the City University of New York, Pace University, American University and other colleges.
