Wider Superyacht Hub, in collaboration with Nauta Design, is charting a course toward the future of superyacht design and innovation with its latest project, the MOONFLOWER 72. Announced in May 2022, with the keel laid in August of the same year, this captivating vessel is steadily taking shape at Wider's Porto Marghera facility in Venice.

The MOONFLOWER 72 captures the essence of Nauta Design’s philosophy, characterized by a holistic and balanced approach to style, comfort, and functionality. Renderings of this marvel, co-designed by Mario Pedol, reveal a superyacht that embodies the perfect blend of power and elegance, making a definitive statement on the waters.

This 72-meter behemoth boasts a crisp, clean silhouette that, at first glance, emanates an almost severe aesthetic – a streamlined knife blade cutting through the waves. Yet, upon closer inspection, the vessel reveals a fusion of aggressive longitudinal lines with organic contours and balanced volumes, creating an ageless elegance that promises to captivate the yacht aficionado's eye for years to come.

Benetti has recently launched a custom 67-meter yacht called FB285NK, which showcases their dedication to innovation and design. This unique vessel is the result of a collaboration between Benetti, Cassetta Yacht Designers, and the owners themselves.

The FB285NK is a perfect blend of form and function, with its custom-built design reflecting the owner's discerning taste in style, timber selection, and intelligent space layout.

The yacht was designed to offer a refined beach house experience on the water, prioritizing tranquillity, comfort, and relaxation. To ensure quality service, the owners decided to limit the yacht to five cabins, which is rare for a vessel of this size. Upon entering the Main Deck lounge, guests will be awed by the yacht's grandeur, with expansive ten-meter wide hull sides and large windows creating a sense of openness and fluidity. The FB285NK's signature circular side windows, each almost 2 meters in diameter, add to the design's elegance and ensure a flood of natural light into the yacht's interiors.
