Cantieri Navali di Chioggia’s Ocean King brand has now a new entry: the Naucrates 130 designed by Green Yachts an Italian design studio. Just like the Naucrates 88 this model is also destined to cruise every ocean and that is why this yacht too has been designed to comply to the highest standards in term of build and safety. She’s all of 40 metres long with a beam of10.26; she’s to be built in steel with aluminium alloy superstructure. Naucrates 130 will be noticed for her attractive innovative lines blending adamantly the proportions of explorer models to the flowing streamlined style of those superyachts that are often seen cruising along the trendiest coasts. According to the project design this yacht’s volumes will be very much in line with those of…

One of luxury Yachts’ more fascinating aspects is the considerable number of concepts presented during International Boat Shows. They often comprise technological innovation but more so in terms of design. Many of these will probably never see the light and will remain the result of mere stylistic exercises, but it’s nevertheless equally true that while they make us dream, they also lay down the bases for future models. This 115 metre model exhibited by Dutch yard Oceanco named “Tuhura” unbelievably evokes the indigenous canoes and dugouts which not only sailed along the coasts but also used to travel many miles in search of new lands to explore. After all “Tuhura” is a Maori word which means discover, explore, investigate. This name has a lot to do with the “explorer” nature…

When the owner walked into Benetti’s offices in Leghorn, he knew precisely what he wanted of the yard: a yacht capable of privileging contact with the surrounding waters. To satisfy the new client’s request, Benetti contacted Dutch designer Cor D. Rover who had never worked with this renowned Italian shipyard. The project design work was developed and well interpreted the client’s wishes. The concept for the exterior lines delivers a total perception of the sea which is enhanced further with Benetti’s original solutions concerning the beach club featuring a surprising ten by four metre pool which when not in use can double as a small basketball court while an indoor-outdoor porch installed on the main deck offers a wonderful perspective of the layout. The Benetti Beach Club proper in addition…

Finding a 58 metre long yacht which mirrors such a close and radical vision of both the owner’s and project designer’s intents is realistically difficult . We’re talking about “Ngoni” a jewel of a yacht built by Royal Huisman. The yacht’s layout expresses an aggressive trace as wanted expressly by the owner, it had to be a “beast of the seven seas ”. A Highly performing wind piercing, sleek hull where elegance, technologic innovation were to not only represent the project’s fundamental ingredients, but also had to be immediately perceivable by any observer. In addition to this the yacht had to possess, sea-keeping qualities, good manoeuvrability in restricted waters and be responsive to the helm without being stiff. And that’s not all because the owner is a discerning yachtsman who…

There’s a machine which should not go amiss in onboard gyms, that’s a rowing machine. When compared to other pieces of kit like treadmills, stationery bikes, or elliptical cross trainers, a rowing machine offers more as it enhances fine tuning the top part of the body as well comprising back muscles, arms, shoulders and stomach muscles. The US made Water rowing machine is the perfect choice befitting luxury collectibles such as super and mega yachts. Water Rower stands out of the chorus line not only for the useful technology that goes with it, which we’ll be analysing shortly, but for its design features. They’re so special that Waterpower has been exhibited at London’s Museum of Design. The elegant frame is built in solid wood which blends appropriately with many interiors…

The new Pzero 1900 is to be the fleet’s flagship and is due to be launched soon. Meanwhile Pirelli is continuing to market the Pzero 1400 series which is available in two versions Cabin and Sport. Tecnorib has realized this yacht with input from Swedish design studio Ocke Mannerfelt Design. The yacht features an aggressive dynamic design and furthermore sports a hull with double redan configuration which translates into highly performing speeds. The latest version boasts as many as three Mercury Verado 400R engines which means the Pzero 1400 bolts along at more than 40 knots all out. However for those not privileging extreme speeds, the yard supplies also less powerful inboards or inboard-outboard engines. In each configuration the deck layout offers ample space in which to enjoy relaxing moments…

The history of the Verga family is that of one of the most important watchmakers in Italy. It all began back in 1947 soon after the end of WWII and Luigi Verga founder of the enterprise opened up his first shop in Milan, just a stone’s throw away from Piazza Duomo. He was considered as a highly capable and skilled craftsman of complex time pieces. His son developed a passion for watch making just like his father had. This family tradition has been passed on since 1947 in much the same way, from one generation to another. In the beginning the family’s core business was in selling Rolex brands but went on to include some of the most prestigious brands from Audemars Piguet to Jeager-LeCoultre, from Cartier to Patek Philippe…

Washington based Ocean Alexander shipyard has come up with an all new and innovative project design for a 90’ to be realized with Evan Marshall’s contribution. Since inception back in 1977 Ocean Alexander’s founder Alex Chueh from Taiwan has been building classic motor yachts.

Today his son Johnny Chueh is at the helm, they build two lines of products, the Motoryacht line with models from 70 to 90 feet and the Megayacht line from 100 to 155 feet. Several models are available with Flybridge, Enclosed or Skylounge configuration to mainly satisfy US market’s requests. This year Ocean Alexander is preparing for the 41st season and will be…

Italian shipyard Tankoa Yachts has recently come up with a new 53 metre planing yacht. She sports a beam of 9.20 metres and is capable of 28 knots. This performance yacht’s waterlines have been attained following ad hoc studies, to match the exuberance of three hefty MTU 16V 2000 M94L engines coupled to a pair of hydro-jets and Kamewa booster. This new sporty Tankoa yacht project has been purposely named Saetta to best evoke speed. The exterior design is definitely aggressive and brawny which befits such a promising yacht at least in terms of speed. Ample use of glazed window like ports shaped to convey plenty of natural light play a fundamental role in enhancing a sense of elegance. Designer Francesco Paszkowski commented as follows. “The TECHNICAL DATA LOA: 53.00…

Over the past few months Otam has been highly prolific and is continuing with new projects. Following the 100HT and the 115 Custom Range, the company is now working with R+P Architecture and with Umberto Tagliavini on the innovative 85’ GTS. The result of their collaboration is a Luxury Performance Superyacht which is essentially fast, with pure Otam DNA and loads of innovative solutions in terms of layout.

The designer team has also drawn up an unprecedented superstructure inspired by the automotive industry with gullwing openings which enables those on board to enjoy the yacht like a coupé while…

Clifford Denn’s input for Project Maximus delivers flexibility and all the experience gained in projecting passenger ships for Cunard (QM2), P&O and Viking Ocean Cruise as well. The aesthetics of this 83 metre do not go unobserved. She possesses loads of appealing solutions which are also functional and inspiring while fully enjoying life on board. In fact the yacht has been designed from the start to offer an unforgettable experience while cruising to the owner and his guests, whether they take to swimming in the large pool with a waterfall or opt for relaxing moments in a heated Jacuzzi tub situated in the bow area or perhaps they simply prefer to sit around inside in very comfortable surroundings where the interior layout can offer a five guest cabin configuration plus…

Take a chair, an armchair, a stool even. They have different names because they’ve got different functions and yet all three are used to sit on! The same is true for boats: a yacht, a fishing trawler, a ferry, all have different names but all three are used to sail with on seas, lakes, rivers and so on. Obviously they don’t have the same have functions still they’re all built to sail, but each one serves a diverse purpose. Accordingly, for every type of vessel possesses physical features and external lines and silhouettes which differ from one another even when they are of the same size. This example is quite plain enough but it underscores the obvious fact that: boats have diverse shapes because they are built to serve different…

Filipetti Yacht has recently come up with a new version of the Navetta 26 for an owner who’s intending to cruise North European waters and will therefore be equipped with the necessary gear to face up to tougher climates and heavy weather. “Maxima” is a new Convertible version, meaning with a flying deck which is ‘closed’ thus confirming the yard’s ability to take on tailor-made projects which are always highly customisable according to owners’ wishes. In the given case Filipetti Yacht has been asked to satisfy the owner’s special requirements in terms of thermal dispersion which need to be addressed as he intends to cruise year round in cold North European climates. Filipetti Yacht has managed to satisfy the owner’s need without sacrificing anything to a distinguishing element of the…

The installation of lighting plants on board of yachts has become creative, dedicated art. Inserting LED lights into ceilings’ light fixtures, lamp holders and wherever else deemed necessary is clearly no longer enough. There’s growing need to improve the set up of the light sources deployed to upgrade guests’ well being on board, while enhancing comfort and delivering additional prestige to the interior decor and layout of diverse areas. Videoworks’ also won a prize for the lighting design installed on Perini’s 60 metre ketch “Seven” and has revealed the breakdown of the various phases involved in achieving this and what lies behind the flick of a switch. In addition to contributing valuable input Dante O. Benini & Partners also initialled the interiors’ design project realized in collaboration with the shipyard.…

Giovanni Valle set up Amperauto back in 1947 to design and build electro-mechanical devices for the automotive industry which expanded into electronic ones as well. His policy since inception was to become a market leader by producing reliable, quality products. As years and decades went by his policy remained unaltered. He involved the whole of the existing supplier chain, from design, production tests and logistics which turned Amperauto into becoming FIAT group’s supplier. Later his company also began to supply CNHi group as well. With by then a work force of 120 Amperauto went on to obtain ISO 9001, la ISO/TS 16949, la ISO 14001 e la WCM certifications. By 2017 and into its 70th anniversary Giovanni the founding member had stepped down with Fabrizio Valle his nephew at the…

Thanks to Besenzoni’s new App. forgetting where the remote by which to manoeuvre your boarding ladder might be won’t be a problem. The new App. is free for iOS and Android platforms from 9.0 and from 7.0 up respectively, and when installed into smart phones and tablets alike, it can replace the functions of the remote normally supplied by Besenzoni with its boarding ladders.

The App. will be matched to a single BUC (to avoid manoeuvring all other yachts’ boarding ladders in the vicinity). Furthermore this App. can be simultaneously…

Considering it’s twenty five metres long it is difficult to refer to it as a tender or service craft. It would in fact be more correct to name it a ‘chase boat’. This new Eco Tender by Perini Navi has been created to meet the needs of an owner of this renowned Italian brand wanting a motor yacht for his 50 metre sailing superyacht but without omitting all the quality and comfort typical of Perini Navi. The project design work has been carried out in house exclusively. The construction material is in aluminium alloy and is scheduled for delivery in the beginning of 2019. The silhouette and the exterior lines are sleek and classic at the same time, and the interiors are strictly contemporary like the mother ship’s. Eco Tender…

The owner’s suite is situated along the main deck, and four guest cabins are situated along the lower deck. The power house is…

A high profile Italian Yacht designer - Hot Lab studio and a notable shipyard –VSY, have joined forces. The result of their respective work was a 67 metre explorer project presented at the latest Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show. “Hot lab’s 67 M Explorer by VSY comprises all of the most important features requested in modern yachts while maintaining the original Explorer yacht concept” as reportedly said by Michele Dragoni partner and styling department head at Hot Lab.

CRN has recently presented the newly built 86 metre Explorer Yacht designed by British design studio Harrison Eidsgard. This project differs substantially from many others which look a lot like work ships with which to explore remote areas. This Italian shipyard a historic brand of the Ferretti Group instead sports a silhouette which is much closer to cruising recreational superyachts where forms are dynamic and sleek and in line with the typical styling seen in the rest of the Ancona yard’s fleet. However since this CRN 86 metre is an Explorer Yacht it is well equipped to face up to the most severe weather conditions with advanced technology as well as much more.

By definition a yacht is a recreational boat used for leisure, amusement and enjoyment. This is why, yachts are often imagined and depicted lying to an anchor in sheltered bays, with attractive women lining their decks as they sunbathe and take a dip or two during the hottest hours of a summer’s day, in crystal clear waters and or in a wonderful Jacuzzi prior to joining the owner for a ‘sun downer’ as the setting sun disappears into the sea over the horizon. And also when the yacht motors out to sea, as she cruises along there’s always time enough to read a book while lounging comfortably seated in the cockpit perhaps, or to spend some convivial moments chatting with friends. A yacht is often associated as being a comfortable…
