These scans are more than diagnostic tools; they are lifelines, offering patients the opportunity to address health issues before symptoms even appear.

 

The philosophy is simple but profound: early detection saves lives. By identifying health concerns early, patients can work with their healthcare providers to take proactive steps, whether through lifestyle changes, medication, or further medical intervention.

“Our mission is to save lives through early detection,” says Frank G. Maldonado, Director of Operations at Life Guard Imaging. “We’re not just about providing scans; we’re about empowering individuals to take control of their health.”

Frankie experienced a profound loss when his father succumbed to pancreatic cancer. This personal tragedy deeply affected him and became a pivotal moment in his life. Determined to prevent others from enduring similar heartbreak, Frankie shifted his career focus towards proactive healthcare. He dedicated himself to the mission of early detection, aiming to identify life-threatening diseases like cancer and heart disease before they manifest symptoms. This commitment led to the establishment of Life Guard Imaging, where advanced imaging technology is utilized to detect potential health issues at their earliest stages. Frankie’s personal loss serves as the driving force behind his dedication to saving lives through early detection.

Regal Boats, a family-owned company since 1969, has built more than just boats – it has built a legacy of passion, craftsmanship, and unwavering dedication to its customers. For over 50 years, Regal has been a beacon of innovation and excellence in the boating industry, but at its heart, it remains a company rooted in family values and faith.

A Legacy of Family and Faith

Regal Boats was founded by Paul and Carol Kuck in Orlando, Florida, with a vision to create something more than just boats for the water. They dreamed of building a company that embodied integrity and a deep commitment to enriching lives. This vision took place in 1969 when the couple combined their entrepreneurial spirit to open Regal Boats.

Over the years, Regal has remained a family-run business, now spanning three generations. The Kuck family’s guiding principles of faith, integrity, and customer care are infused into every aspect of the company. These values have been the cornerstone of Regal’s success and are reflected in the company’s mission: With God’s help, we will develop an exceptional team dedicated to enriching lives and providing an awesome boating experience.

Milestones That Define Regal

The journey of Regal Boats is marked by a series of milestones that reflect its spirit of innovation and resilience. From its beginnings in the late 1960s to now, Regal’s story is one of perseverance and growth. In the 1970s, Regal introduced its first cabin cruiser, setting the stage for its reputation in luxury and comfort. The 1980s brought international expansion, showcasing Regal’s ability to adapt and thrive in new markets.

The introduction of the patented FasTrac hull design in the 1990s was a defining moment for Regal. This innovative design, which offered faster speeds and greater fuel efficiency, set the company apart in the industry and became a symbol of its commitment to pushing boundaries. The 2000s was a time to further expand its model lines to a diverse range of boating enthusiasts.

Through the decades, Regal has weathered challenges, including economic downturns and industry shifts, by staying true to its core values and embracing innovation. To this day, Regal has committed to operating as a debt-free company. Each chapter of Regal’s history proves its resilience and adaptability.

The Heart of Regal

What truly sets Regal apart is its people. The Regal team shares a common purpose: To honor God and enrich lives. This purpose goes beyond crafting exceptional boats to continuing strong relationships with customers and giving back to the communities they serve. 

At Regal, family is more than just a word – it’s the way the company operates every day. From the production floor to the executive team, there’s a sense of teamwork and a genuine desire to create something bigger and special together. As Tim Kuck, Executive Vice President, says “We are really in the people business and happen to make great boats.”

Commitment to Excellence and Innovation

While Regal’s boats are renowned for their craftsmanship and cutting-edge features, the company’s true pride lies in its commitment to excellence. Every decision, from design to delivery, is guided by a desire to create something extraordinary. This dedication to quality comes with a personal passion. They are built for boaters, by boaters.

However, Regal’s innovation isn’t just about technology; it’s also about creating memorable experiences. This company understands that boating is about more than the boat itself – it’s about the moments shared with loved ones, the thrill of adventure, and the peace of being on the water. 

Looking Ahead

As Regal Boats looks to the future, it remains grounded in the principles that have guided it for over half a century. The Kuck family’s vision of creating a company that enriches lives continues to this day. With a strong foundation of family values, a passion for innovation, and a dedication to excellence, Regal is poised to continue making waves in the boating industry for generations to come.

Regal Boats stands out as a shining example of what a family-run company can achieve. It’s more than a business – it’s a legacy of faith, family, and a love for the water, inviting everyone to become part of the Regal story.

The post A Typical Day on Le Commandant Charcot is Anything but Typical appeared first on JetsetMag.com.

]]>

PONANT’s luxury icebreaker, Le Commandant Charcot, takes you places other ships simply cannot reach. We go for adventure, to be sure, but also because we believe the most powerful way to promote conservation of the world’s most fragile ecosystems is to immerse guests so deeply into these incredible destinations that they feel inspired to become wilderness and cultural ambassadors back home. Here, we share highlights of one of our expeditions, The Emperor Penguins of the Weddell Sea, to show you what we mean.

In the early winter, ice floes wander as far as the eye can see, and gigantic tabular icebergs form your horizon. The captivating Weddell Sea is often inaccessible to traditional ships, but thanks to our luxury icebreaker and its Polar Class 2 hull—the only ship in the world of its kind—we can bring you here on one seamless and utterly comfortable voyage. The tranquil waters and coastline are ideal for exploring in their truest and purest form. What does adventure look like on board the world’s only luxury icebreaker?

Waking to the Promise of Incredible Discovery

As you awaken in your luxuriously appointed suite, step out onto your private balcony to breathe in the crisp air. Or better yet, get in a brisk stroll on the promenade deck, which encircles the entire ship, taking a moment on one of the heated benches to absorb the vastness of the icy wilderness. Excitement hangs in the air, enhanced when you step up to one of the Swarovski Optik spotting scopes and zoom in on a pair of leopard seals lounging on the glittering pack ice.

Then, there’s the pleasure of breakfast. In Sila—our elegant, sun-bathed dining room—panoramic views cascade through floor-to-ceiling windows, sharing the untouched beauty of the metallic blue seas and the white wilderness beyond. As you dine on eggs, waffles, fresh juice, and freshly baked bread prepared by an onboard French baker, it occurs to you that your dining experience is as superb as the vistas outside.

The Height of Polar Exploration

You’ll experience those vistas up close during an array of excursions throughout your expedition. Simply choose from those that interest you most. Depending on local conditions, they’ll be offered in the morning or afternoon.

Exploration by Zodiac. Climb into our Zodiac craft, purpose-built to navigate this icy expanse. Suit up in your water-resistant parka and boots (the parka is your gift to take home after the voyage), and step in as the Antarctic waters lap at the hull. It’s thrilling to sit so close to the sea’s surface, surrounded by ice patches bobbing on the waves and giant beryl-blue icebergs drifting in the distance. As your skilled pilot motors away from the ship into open water, you are surrounded by a mesmerizing and infinite polar whiteness. You raise your binoculars to look for a variety of penguins—Adélie, chinstrap, gentoo, or the almighty emperor all reside here—or the telltale spouts from a whale about to breach.

Kayaking. Dip your oar into the sea, propelling yourself at a rhythmic pace. Water sloshes and swirls with each stroke and it feels invigorating to interact with the Antarctic so intimately. You navigate toward the coast, absorbing all the nooks and crannies of the Great White Continent. Pausing a few minutes from paddling, you cannot remember experiencing such stillness, silence, and awe. You listen: to your breathing, to the lilting water, to the peace and tranquility of Antarctica.

Polar plunge. No encounter with Antarctic waters compares to a polar plunge. You confess you’ve been nervous about this, but those who dove in before you have assured you it’s one of life’s most revitalizing experiences. Your expedition leaders have been watching for ideal conditions and, at last, they attach a tether to your harness and escort you down the gangway. Then, it’s 3-2-1-dive! And you perform your best cannonball. The verdict? Bracing and exhilarating!

Snowshoeing or hiking. Exploring on land or pack ice, you see the textured contours of Antarctica up close. Pearly-white snow blankets the shore, though some dark rock may peek through. During your walk, you take it all in, watching the snow glitter like diamonds in the low sunshine, crunching under the weight of your snowshoes. Imposing massifs reach to the heavens, draped in ice. And you scan all around for sightings of emperor penguins and Weddell seals.

On Board, Comfort and Extravagance

When you’re not out exploring the great white wilderness, you’ll be sampling the many luxuries on board Le Commandant Charcot. At our Nuan Wellness Lounge, indulge in a massage and linger in the sauna or snow cabin, where gently falling flakes rejuvenate you. Savor lunch in our gastronomic restaurant, Nuna. Like in all onboard dining venues, our chefs are Alain Ducasse-trained and eager to showcase their culinary talents.

In your free time, soak in the heated outdoor pool, the Blue Lagoon, warmed by the ship’s energy recuperation system, and be sure to keep an eye open for more wildlife. Afterwards, enjoy an inside stroll, admiring our 300 beautiful ornaments and works of art and the digital work of artist Miguel Chevalier.

Regardless of how you spent your day, gather in our ship’s lounge with your fellow travelers to recap as lilting piano sonatas, played live by a member of our incredible onboard crew, lend a relaxed ambience. The expedition team shares their latest insights and experiences, and you feel united by your shared explorations and cultural connections. Captivated, you sip a carefully crafted cocktail or a fine glass of wine from the ship’s world-class collection.

And then, dinner. An exquisite way to end every exquisite day. More Alain Ducasse masterpieces and more stellar wine. And once more, your gaze is drawn out of the expansive windows. The Midnight Sun hangs low over the horizon, casting shadows across the distant water and bathing Le Commandant Charcot in a warm glow. Soon, you will retire for the night to your elegantly appointed suite and begin new adventures tomorrow. But first, dessert.

Experience the natural and cultural wonders of the poles on board Le Commandant Charcot for yourself. We look forward to welcoming you!

The post Burger Boat Company: Crafting Timeless Elegance appeared first on JetsetMag.com.

A Legacy of Excellence

For over 160 years, Burger Boat Company has been synonymous with innovation, precision, and timeless craftsmanship. Nestled on the shores of Lake Michigan in Manitowoc, Wisconsin, Burger stands as one of the most iconic names in custom yacht building. Its legacy is built on blending artistry with cutting-edge technology, delivering vessels that define elegance and performance.

Burger’s creations reflect an unwavering commitment to quality, personalization, and a client-centered approach. The company has earned a reputation as a builder of not just yachts but dreams—crafting yachts that are as unique as the individuals who own them.

Building Dreams

At Burger Boat Company, every project starts with a vision—a client’s dream of a yacht that embodies their style and aspirations. Through a collaborative process, Burger transforms these dreams into reality.

Renowned for its expertise in custom yacht building, Burger crafts each vessel to the owner’s exact specifications. The skilled team of naval architects, engineers, and artisans works closely with clients, ensuring every detail aligns with their vision.

Currently, Burger is building two 180-foot motor yachts, exemplifying its ability to deliver ambitious, world-class projects. These yachts showcase spacious layouts, luxurious interiors, and cutting-edge technology, reflecting the pinnacle of design, engineering, and craftsmanship.

Every Burger yacht is designed to surpass expectations, seamlessly blending performance, beauty, and functionality.

Artistry Meets Technology

Burger Boat Company is a master of the delicate balance between tradition and innovation. At its core, Burger is a company of artisans—craftspeople who bring decades of experience and a meticulous eye for detail to every project. Yet, it’s also a company that embraces the latest technological advancements to push the boundaries of yacht design and construction.

The process begins with cutting-edge design software, allowing Burger’s team to create precise digital models and simulations of each yacht. This technology ensures that every detail is accounted for, from hydrodynamic performance to intricate interior designs. It also enables clients to see and refine their yacht’s design long before construction begins.

Once the designs are finalized, Burger’s team brings them to life using state-of-the-art manufacturing techniques. Hulls are expertly constructed for optimal performance, while interiors are crafted with a level of detail more akin to fine art than engineering. Each yacht features unique, client-selected finishes—whether hand-carved wood, custom textiles, or advanced entertainment systems. Every element is chosen to reflect the client’s personal taste, making each vessel truly one-of-a-kind.

The Burger Experience

What truly sets Burger apart is the experience it provides to its clients. Building a yacht is not just a transaction; it’s a journey, and Burger ensures that this journey is as seamless and enjoyable as possible.

From the initial design consultations to the moment the vessel is launched, Burger’s team keeps clients informed and involved every step of the way. Regular updates and collaborative decision-making ensure that clients feel a sense of ownership throughout the process. This transparency builds trust and fosters long-lasting relationships.

For many Burger clients, the relationship doesn’t end when their yacht is completed. Burger’s after-sales service is as meticulous as its construction process, offering ongoing support to ensure every yacht continues to perform flawlessly.

A Name That Resonates

Based in Manitowoc, Wisconsin, Burger Boat Company has built a reputation for quality and innovation that attracts clients from far and wide. Despite this broad appeal, Burger stays firmly grounded in the values of its Midwestern roots.

This blend of widespread recognition and local pride makes Burger unique. The company delivers custom yachts that meet the highest standards while offering personalized, approachable service.

Design That Reflects the Owner

One of the hallmarks of a Burger yacht is its ability to reflect the personality and lifestyle of its owner. From the exterior profile to the smallest interior details, every element is customizable.

For the exteriors, Burger’s naval architects work to create designs that balance beauty and performance. Sleek lines and graceful curves combine with hulls engineered for superior stability and efficiency. Burger’s designs are timeless, ensuring that its yachts remain as elegant and functional decades after their launch as they were on day one.

Interior customization possibilities are nearly limitless. Owners can work with Burger’s in-house designers or bring their own interior design teams to the table. Layouts can be adjusted to prioritize social spaces, private retreats, or functional work areas, depending on the client’s needs. Materials, finishes, and furnishings are selected with the same level of care, resulting in interiors that are as luxurious as they are comfortable.

A Storied Past, A Bright Future

Burger Boat Company’s history is as remarkable as its vessels. Founded in 1863, the company began as a builder of wooden boats before transitioning to steel and aluminum yachts in the mid-20th century. This adaptability has been key to Burger’s success, allowing it to thrive in an ever-changing industry.

Today, Burger continues to evolve, embracing new technologies and techniques to ensure its yachts remain at the forefront of the market. However, the company never loses sight of its heritage. The craftsmanship and attention to detail that defined Burger in its early days remain central to its identity.

Looking ahead, Burger Boat Company is poised for even greater success. With a full order book and a growing reputation for excellence, Burger is cementing its status as one of the premier yacht builders in the world.

The Ultimate in Luxury

Owning a Burger yacht is about more than having a vessel—it’s about embracing a lifestyle. A lifestyle defined by elegance, adventure, and the freedom to explore the world’s most beautiful destinations on your terms.

For those who dream of a yacht that combines luxury, performance, and a storied legacy, there is no better choice than Burger Boat Company. From the first sketch to the final launch, Burger is dedicated to delivering an experience—and a vessel—that is nothing short of extraordinary.

Rogue Industries is a Maine based maker operation. The company was started in 2007 when the founder, Michael Lyons, developed excruciating lower back pain and created a curved front pocket wallet prototype – that was 650,000 wallets ago.

After Rogue Industries introduced their patented curved front pocket wallet in 2007, it became a dream of the company to actually make their own products.  “How hard could that be?”, thought Michael Lyons, Founder.

 

In 2015 the company purchased an abandoned farm house along with a workshop on 14 acres in Standish, Maine.  The effort involved with the details of setting up actual production presented a steep learning curve.   Their very first production hire was a lady with extensive stitching and sail making experience- but none in leather.  She is still with them and now runs the shop.

 

Rogue acquired an industrial splitter to thin the leather down, a 10 ton hydraulic press to cut the thick pieces of leather from the hides, and a dizzying array of very specialized and rather pricey sewing machines for both leather and waxed canvas.   “The finished product simultaneously looks both simple and elegant- but the expertise and technology which goes into it are more involved than I would have ever believed,” says Lyons.

 

He continued by disclosing  “A colleague of ours who had previously run a well known leather bag company in New York called me up and asked if I was crazy when we were considering setting up a stitching facility.  He reminded me of the fact that I knew nothing about leather stitching.”

 

The colleague was right.  Rogue Industries had designs, patents and ideas- but no experience in actually producing finished goods.  The first few items created were early stage prototypes and couldn’t even be sold.  Then the next set got better.  And better again.  Rogue learned about the nuances of leather stitching and finishing.  They say that it has not been an easy path to set up a small maker factory here in the US- but it’s rewarding to take an idea on paper and create a beautifully finished product worthy of being on the World stage.

 

And it’s equally as rewarding to take a customer into their Workshop and show them where the leather comes in, how it gets selected, cut, stitched and polished.

 

The essence of Rogue’s modest success is not trying to sell their unique wallet design to everyone.  It’s finding the few customers that appreciate the distinctive design, like Jon Stevens that recently called in from Newtown, Pennsylvania and unsolicited, said  “This wallet is genius.”

Specializing in curved front pocket wallets, the company has expanded from one single initial offering to over 80 unique designs ranging from duffle bags, totes, belts, and brief cases to laptop bags.

Their materials of preference are high end specialized leathers such as American Bison, Moose, Salmon and Steer. Waxed canvas offerings have been added to the line to compliment the leather designs.  Amazingly, 70% of their designs are now made in Maine.

Discover the new Vanquish Yachts VQ70 https://www.jetsetmag.com/travel/yachts/discover-the-new-vanquish-yachts-vq70/ https://www.jetsetmag.com/travel/yachts/discover-the-new-vanquish-yachts-vq70/#respond Mon, 11 Nov 2024 18:55:45 +0000 https://www.jetsetmag.com/?p=170750 Vanquish Yachts creates fully customized fast driver’s boats with awesome agility and supreme comfort, hand-built in the Netherlands for demanding individualists.

The post Discover the new Vanquish Yachts VQ70 appeared first on JetsetMag.com.

There is a clear trend at the top end of the market for larger weekenders. For driver boats with fantastic facilities and blistering speed that can also serve as a comfortable stay if you decide to escape it all for a couple of nights. The VQ70 is Vanquish’ response to this demand. The very first VQ70, the new flagship of Vanquish Yachts, was recently launched.

Maximum flexibility.

The VQ70 positions itself in the Vanquish model range between the popular VQ58 and the Vanquish Superyacht VQ115. The red line for the development of the VQ70 was to give future owners maximum flexibility for custom options while ensuring the unmistakable Vanquish design was retained. The result, the VQ70, is a great representation of the instantly recognizable Vanquish silhouette. The interior spaces of the VQ70 can be equipped with state-of-the-art amenities, ensuring every moment on board is in complete luxury.

More to play with.

Every VQ70 is built to meet and then exceed the new owner’s expectations. With more length and volume, Vanquish also ensures that all outdoor wishes are met. There’ll be plenty of room for lounging, eating, partying, and whatever else you feel like doing on an all-fresco area of this size. Spacious seating areas invite you to relax, making it the perfect spot to socialize or just enjoy the beautiful views. A tender boat, jet skis, surfboards, rubber boat, e.g., can be stored in the double garage. Below deck, the VQ70 can be fitted with three or four cabins, allowing you to share the fantastic experience on the VQ70 with friends and family for a weekend out.

Cruising with open or closed roof.

Choosing the T-model is a reasonable choice if you prefer the smooth lines of an open boat. The wind playing with your hair contributes to a feeling of freedom. The hardtop VQ70, on the other hand, offers extra shelter from the elements, especially if you want to make longer trips. Turn on the air conditioning under the hardtop and enjoy the sun without feeling the heat. Or open the roof at the touch of a button and enjoy the fresh sea breeze. The cockpit is thoughtfully laid out to provide an unparalleled experience for both the captain and guests.

Speed and agility.

Sleek lines and a dynamic silhouette enhance the performance, delivering impressive speed and agility. The lightweight aluminum construction makes the VQ70 a dream to sail. Including the Veloce option with water jets, speeds of over 50 knots can be achieved. Equipped with advanced navigation and control systems, it ensures ease of handling while enjoying the thrill of the open water.

Tailored to your wishes.

The innovative design of the VQ70 allows for unparalleled customization. Whether you choose a contemporary lounge with sleek design, a retreat made of rich materials, or a spacious dining area, perfect for entertaining, the possibilities are endless. Experience the perfect blend of cutting-edge technology and elegant design. Too many choices? There’s nothing more fun than creating your own VQ70 throughout which you will be guided every step of the way.

Not for everyone.
