Superyacht News

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.

The elegant 52-meter motor yacht Florentia has been delivered to her owner by the Viareggio-based shipyard Rossinavi.

She was launched last summer in a private ceremony and the boatbuilder hails her as a 'masterpiece'.

The aluminum superstructure and full-displacement steel hull weigh in at 810GT and the dimensions of the Florentia are generous enough for her owner and guests to easily move around.

She has a top speed of 17 knts and a cruising range of 6,500 nm - with the power coming from two Cat 1,901 kW diesel engines.

The 70-meter Ice-Class superyacht Polaris has been launched by the Italian boatbuilder Rossinavi.

She is the largest yacht to be created by the boatbuilder and has been designed to navigate extreme ice conditions - including polar areas.

She was known previously as Project King Shark and has been designed to sail from sub-zero weather conditions to the Caribbean's warm waters.

The 49.8-meter superyacht Amare II has been delivered to her owners by the Dutch boatyard Heesen.

She was previously known as Project Electra and the handover took place after she underwent successful sea trials in the North Sea.

The Amare II is capable of travelling at 17.2 knots while in diesel mode - and can manage 10.2 knots in silent mode.

She is the second hull in the Dutch firm's 50-meter 5000 Class and the yacht-builder says her diesel-hybrid propulsion system is not only more fuel-efficient but also quieter.

The system enables the motor yacht to have four cruising modes - including silent cruising.

The imposing and striking 142-meter Nord has undergone extensive sea trials in the North Sea.

Built by Lurssen in Germany, the luxury superyacht was once known as Project Opus and has been the focus of a lot of yachting world attention in 2020.

She was launched in 2019 and will be home to 36 guests in 20 en-suite staterooms, including the owner's suite.

The interior and exterior have been created by the award-winning Italian Nuvolari Lenard design studio and they have conjured up an impressive motor yacht.

She features an extensive foredeck, covered aft decks, and a bulbous bow.

Two of her decks sit within the hull, and the remaining four decks are part of her superstructure.

Nord’s amenities are ultra-luxurious

The Nord’s amenities are ultra-luxurious, and she has spectacular features which include an oversized swimming pool, a sundeck Jacuzzi, a spa room, a beach club and two helipads.

The stylish 52-meter custom-built superyacht Florentia has been launched by the Italian yard, Rossinavi.

She offers accommodation for 12 guests in her spacious 800GT interior.

There are two double and two-state guest bedrooms located on the yacht's lower deck - plus the crew's quarters of five twin rooms, a living room and kitchen for 11.

The owner's master cabin sits forward of the main deck and has two walk-in wardrobes and a private balcony.

The third hull in Tankoa Yachts’ all-aluminum series, the Olokun, has been launched at their yard in Genoa.

The stylish 50-meter motor yacht has a distinctive black hull with a metallic grey superstructure that has been designed by Francesco Paszkowski.

The interior has been designed by the US-based studio, Casadio Miami/London.

The chief executive of Tankoa Yachts, Vincenzo Poerio, said: "Hull number three was started on spec with the owner coming to the project quite late.

‘Maximum flexibility to tailor the yacht’

"But as a boutique shipyard, we offered him maximum flexibility to tailor the yacht to his personal needs.

Italian shipbuilder CRN has delivered its latest, and fully-custom steel and aluminum M/Y 137 megayacht. The historic shipyard has created the 62m vessel, and she has now set sail on her maiden Mediterranean cruise.

The yacht has an inimitably Italian touch with aerodynamic external lines, with the smoky quartz hull delivering a striking impression. Owner’s personality and resolve shines through’.

She was built at CRN’s Ancona shipyard in Italy, and the yacht builder says: “The owner’s personality and resolve shine through in the bold and unmistakable lines that stand out for miles.”

She is the latest in Heesen Yacht's 55-metre Steel class, and now Project Castor has been delivered.

Her owner has renamed her 'Solemates', and Omega Architects' Frank Laupman designed the exterior, which Heesen describes as having 'muscular exterior lines'.

The fast displacement hull of the 760GT yacht has been designed by Dutch hydrodynamicists, Van Oossanen Naval Architects.
