Superyacht News

Superyacht Al Waab II is the longest steel aluminum yacht below the 500GT regulation in the world.

Vripack and SF Yachts, based in Dubai, were in charge of her design.
The yacht will be presented to the public in September. We are all expecting to see her in Monaco during the Monaco Yacht Show.

NAVIS was invited to the presentation of a new and particular Motoryacht; it is a yacht that redefines our perception of the previous 63 footers we experienced before.

On June 30, we arrived at our hotel in Forte Dei Marmi, Italy. Around 7:00 p.m., after a bit of rest, we were already traveling together with a select group of journalists to the "Italian Sea Group Village." A structure with bar, restaurant, conference room, and other luxurious amenities, located on the same grounds as the great Tecnomar shipyard. There, a welcome awaited us from those responsible for the project, followed by an exquisite dinner in the company of the Lamborghini and Tecnomar teams, which was particularly pleasant. Then, to conclude the night, they presented a first and fascinating night vision of the Tecnomar for Lamborghini 63.

Tecnomar by The Italian Sea Group, a global operator in the luxury yachting industry, has successfully launched on Tuesday, June 24rd, the first Tecnomar for Lamborghini 63, avantgarde motoryacht coming from the encounter between yachting excellence and supersport cars. The event was carried out at The Italian Sea Group headquarters in Marina di Carrara, in the presence of the management and the whole team which participated in the realization of this jewel.

On 18th June 2021, Lürssen unveiled and successfully launched project Enzo, a striking and bespoke 115-meter superyacht built for a repeat client who previously owned an 86-meter Lürssen. The owner was extremely impressed with the build process of his first yacht and wanted to replicate the experience, right down to the same build and design team, convinced that no one else could meet his particular demands.

Once again, therefore, Nuvolari–Lenard was responsible for the exterior and interior design, and Moran Yacht & Ship managed and supervised the project, all bringing with them their wide spectrum of experience and consolidated knowledge.

In 2017, the celebrated Rolls-Royce Sweptail defined the dawn of the contemporary coachbuilding movement. It created a definitive moment that raised the awareness of a new watermark in luxury and automotive possibility, illustrating a new realm of exploitation owing to its hand-built nature. This remarkable product, which was instantly proclaimed as one of the finest intercontinental tourers in history, represented a significant recalibration of possibility, and confirmed that the legacy of Rolls-Royce will be defined in collaboration with its clients.

In consultation with the clients concerned, an agreement was reached whereby three cars would share a common body, but each would then be individually, highly personalized, reflecting the confluence between vision, capability, and ambition of the marque and each of the individual commissioning patrons.

The Feadship yard in Makkum has launched 95-meter Bliss. Subject of enormous owner involvement and the epitome of the custom build experience, this timeless family yacht benefits from the very latest hybrid propulsion and, with Polar Code certification, is set to be a world traveler.

Bliss is a displacement superyacht with a steel hull and aluminum superstructure and showcases a modern classic exterior styling developed by the owner and Studio De Voogt. The yacht has a clean and highly symmetrical design with her tenders and a large fleet of toys neatly concealed so as not to intrude upon her meticulously chosen lines...

The IBIZA JOYSAIL REGATTA is set to become a fresh benchmark in the world of high-performance regattas and promises a thrilling four-day competition bringing together superyachts from the Maxi and Superyacht classes. The event has also recently decided to accept teams with boats measuring under 80 feet in line with technical criteria; this amendment will shortly be published in the Notice of Race and will be applied on a case by case basis.

Following a challenging year for the sailing world, the IBIZA JOYSAIL Regatta, created by an international team and the Club Náutico de Ibiza – the second oldest port on the Balearic islands - includes the very first offshore 70-mile racecourse for superyachts between Mallorca and Ibiza. An eclectic social agenda match the racing program - both on the water and onshore - for the owners, crews, and guests. The four-day event, which will follow a strict health protocol to ensure the safety of all those involved, marks a welcome return to big yacht racing in some of the most exciting and entertaining sailing destinations in the world.
Nicolás González, captain of the immaculate and elegant 90ft Swan S/Y NEFERTITI - designed by German Frers - which has already registered for the regatta, highlights the great appeal of this new event and the extraordinarily beautiful settings of the racing in Ibiza and Formentera:

"Last summer, we spent 45 days sailing in and around Ibiza and Formentera, and they really are places of paradise. Together with two other Maxis we went around Formentera to Port and Starboard on different days, as well as a tour around Es Vedrá. It really was one of my most beautiful sailing experiences aboard Nefertiti. This is why we believe that the Ibiza JoySail regatta is such a good initiative and an excellent way to start the 2021 season in full swing! Hopefully, we can sail and have fun with a few Maxis and superyachts."

DREAM YACHT CHARTER LAUNCHES SAIL PASS

Dream Yacht Charter, the world’s leading yacht charter company, has introduced a flexible, annual sailing pass to help customers manage travel plan uncertainty and try a taste of what the world of yacht ownership is like.

The new Sail Pass allows customers to sail up to three times a year for one annual price - twice in low season and once in high season. Pass prices vary depending on the yacht type and size chosen. 

The last 12 months have been unprecedented with travel being a challenge for sailing vacations. For those who want to make the most of their time on the water, there is Sail Pass Maxi’s Exclusive Pass and XL Pass. This allows customers to sail six weeks a year on any yacht for one annual price - three weeks in high season and three weeks in low season.

The impressive 50m Columbus Sport M/Y K2 has been launched and has undertaken her first sea trials.

Built at Columbus Yachts' Ancona shipyard in Italy, she features sleek lines and a vertical bow.

The naval architecture sees the hull being engineered to guarantee a high level of comfort, regardless of rough sea conditions.

This is the magnificent new Riva 50 Metri M/Y 'Fifty' that has been launched.

Inspired by the legendary yacht designer Carl Riva's work on the celebrated Atlantic and Caravelle motor yachts of the 60s and 70s, the Fifty will now ride the waves in style.

She is the first 50 meters superyacht from Riva and was launched at their shipyard in Ancona, Italy, in a private ceremony.

The yacht has a maximum beam of nine meters to deliver an outstanding cruising experience.

She reflects Riva's aesthetic hallmarks and classy styling with lots of sophistication with an exterior consisting of steel, mahogany, and glass.

This is the ground-breaking Feadship Project 817 - an impressive eco-friendly creation.

She has been created for an experienced yachtsman and was built in Feadship's Kaag shipyard in the Netherlands.

The owner's aim was to reduce the environmental impact of the custom-built 94-metre (308-ft) yacht.

The owner has enthusiastically chartered nearly every Feadship creation in recent years and has utilized that knowledge with this project.

This is the excellent PHI - the world's longest motor yacht below 500GT presented by by Royal Huisman.

She is 58.5 meters (192ft) in length and the fast displacement aluminum motor yacht has, the yacht maker says, been a 'great challenge' to engineer and build.

Cor D. Rover is responsible for PHI’s exterior design and interior layout, and he says: “Rather than just building a large yacht on a so-called shipyard ‘platform’ to enjoy the pleasures of being at sea, the owner of PHI wanted to build a yacht with a profound underlying story, a deep-rooted knowledge that runs through all aspects of the yacht, from her exterior appearance to her internal experience.”

Inspired by nature, the owner's penthouse apartment on the upper deck is focused on the galaxy.

A family dream come true
Feadship Somnium close to completion

Emerging from the yard in Aalsmeer this week for final finishing and sea trials is the newest member of the Feadship fleet. The 55-metre Somnium, which is Latin for dream, is designed to take three generations of family members on a series of memorable world cruises. 

The first pure custom superyacht for an experienced Northern European owner, Somnium was designed by Studio De Voogt with a cosy interior design from FM Architettura. The owner, together with his representative Ron Kleverlaan from Waterman Marine Consultancy – who played a key role – came to Feadship after a comprehensive study of which yard could meet his insistence on a bespoke build without any compromises on quality. 

CRN just shared the first images of the new 52-meter superyacht under construction at their Ancona shipyard.
Designed by CRN and Omega Architects, with interiors from Massari Design, this bespoke masterpiece will display a blend of quality and elegant simplicity.
The new yacht’s distinctive taut, harmonious, exquisite lines are beginning to emerge. At 52 meters long and 9 meters in the beam, she exudes a vibrant sporty personality with a streamlined low profile and near-vertical bow.
Full-height windows, palatial interiors, and extensive external areas add balance to the indoor/outdoor experience.

The new, revolutionary Mangusta Oceano 39 has been officially presented. 

Thirty-nine meters of innovation and expertise. Thirty-nine meters of elegance and performance that reinterpret the Mangusta Oceano displacement line in a radically new key. 

A tri-deck yacht gives her entire class a new harmonized identity, a yacht that embodies an innovative way of experiencing onboard life, forging a brand-new concept of open spaces and direct contact with the sea thanks to a minimal superstructure and the most extensive use of glass. The uttermost consistency between the yachts' interiors and exteriors creates the effect of the patio of a modern, seaside glass villa. Interior design is minimal and yet warm and cozy, and the foldable terraces can be lowered to provide access to a 180° beach house/garage tailored to the Owner's taste and requirements. 

Another ground-breaking superyacht signed by Baltic Yachts

Baltic Yachts has been commissioned to build an ultra-lightweight, 111ft superyacht described as 'one of the most extreme projects Baltic has undertaken'.

Designed for fast coastal and offshore sailing, Baltic 111 Custom will begin construction in April. The project takes full advantage of Baltic Yachts' ability to build an advanced composite structure to the most exacting standards, creating a modern, stylish living platform within a high-performance design envelope.

Inspired by evolving client expectations and perspectives, Yomira's founding partners' vision is a turning point for the future of yacht charter.

Rolls-Royce presented a new masterpiece, the Phantom Tempus Collection. 

Some of the special features included in this unique vehicle are:

The 30.5-meter Morgana has left the boatbuilding yard of Southern Winds in South Africa for her new passionate and experienced yachting owners.

She has been designed to cruise all over the world and because the owners are enthusiastic about bluewater cruising - and entering superyacht regattas - she has also been designed to top racing podiums.

These are also the reasons why the owners of the Morgana selected the Southern Winds Shipyard for their project.

The 74m yacht Synthesis has been delivered by the boatbuilder Amels and Damen Yachting to her experienced owner.

She is called 'Synthesis' and is the fifth hull in the yard's 'Limited Editions' range to be delivered since 2005.

The yacht's naval architecture was developed in-house by the Damen Yachting team.
