On the 3rd of September, Feadship launched its new 92-meter yacht, Aquarius, during a private ceremony at the company’s shipyard in Aalsmeer, Netherlands. Aquarius brings together some of Feadship’s most advanced technologies to create a superyacht that travels the world in style.

Feadship created Aquarius with assistance from Sinot Exclusive Yacht Design. The result is a massive yacht that remains nimble in the water.

Overmarine has spent a considerable amount of time developing its Maxi Open Mangusta fleet. The project has already produced several noteworthy yachts that meet the needs of most yacht-buyers. The latest in the Mangusta 165 series, however, stands out as the most impressive yacht to come from this long-term project.

This is not the first time that renowned SuperYacht designer Malcolm McKeon and Vitters Shipyard have collaborated on a new project, but it is the first time that McKeon has done so from the drawing boards of his own design studio and the result is a stunning, contemporary high-performance cruising boat named Missy. The carbon fiber hull was built by Green Marine, a UK based subsidiary of Vitters, and it was then transported over the Netherlands to Vitters Shipyard where construction was completed.

The stunning backdrop of Cape Town’s Table Mountain is only fitting for the newest yacht built by South African boat builder Southern Wind. The Farr designed Crossbow is a sistership to Seawave, a yacht that enjoyed a large amount of success in Europe by taking first place at the Rolex Capri International Regatta and third place at the Loro Piana Superyacht Regatta in Porto Cervo. From the look of it Crossbow has the same winning pedigree. At 31.71 meters on deck the yacht is just over 100 feet in length and is a total masterpiece from the plum bow to the broad transom.

A new Feadship Motor Yacht is as much a work of art as it is a sailing vessel and Vanish, launched earlier this year in the Netherlands, is a superb illustration. The yacht is a stunning 66.25-metre example of floating art that has pushed the boundaries of style and elegance and indeed chartered new territory with a free-standing staircase that is flanked by a glass wall that reaches the height of the top deck three stories above. It also includes an extendable balcony for the owner’s stateroom. With the push of a button a teak-covered platform slides out from under the starboard companionway using an innovative pull-out mechanism. It then locks in place flush with the floor level of the stateroom to give a seamless transition through glass sliding doors.

Build it and they will come sums up how the latest Feadship came to be. Feadship, long known for building massive state-of-the-art motor yachts took a client-first approach to the newest boat just launched, a 34-metre motor yacht that reinforces the brand’s celebrated ability to surprise and delight. Here is how things transpired. The client wanted a yacht that was smaller than the usual Feadship size in order to be able to access new markets where mooring facilities are restricted and facilitate cruising in shallower depths.

It’s not surprising that the latest creation from the Ferretti Group, a world leader in the design, construction and sale of some of the most iconic brands like Riva and Pershing, have already pre-sold three of their new semi-displacement maxi yachts before the boat has been officially presented to the public. The new Navetta 37 has an overall length of 37.04 meters (121.6 ft.) and is a flagship yacht for the Ferretti Group which is known for producing some of the world’s top luxury motor yachts.

Feadship announced near the end of May that it launched its latest superyacht, Joy, in the presence of her owners and the teams that worked hard to create her.

Heesen Yachts announces that it has delivered its largest yacht to date, a 70m all-aluminum fast displacement superyacht named Galactica Super Nova. Heesen's engineers started working with Dutch naval architects from van Oossanen in December 2013 to craft this magnificent yacht. They intended to deliver the yacht within just 41 months, a feat that few builders could accomplish. Thanks to over 35 years of experience, the companies managed to meet the deadline.

The delivery of the 511.81 ft/156 m motor yacht Lürssen Dilbar to its Mediterranean destination was completed in early June, as announced by the respected superyacht builder. The 52-month build process and early May launch took place at Lürssen's Lemwerder shipyard. Dilbar created a significant milepost as what is likely the largest private superyacht build of 2016 in terms of length, and the fourth largest yacht in the world.
