Isa Yachts range widening process knows no rest. Since Palumbo yachts took over, the yard has been radically changing its products. After the lines Super Sportivo, Sport, Granturismo, Crossbow, Continental, Classic and Ayrton, whose design connection with the yard tradition remains more or less evident, it is now Zeffiro’s turn, the new 130 to 150-foot catamaran line. The first unit is Zeffiro 130, an engine catamaran notable for her amazing external and internal volumes. “Stemming from the brilliant work of the seasoned French team from Berret-Racoupeau Yacht Design, we strongly believe ISA ZEFFIRO 130 can really make a statement to the yachting arena.The decision to diversify our ISA Yachts brand offering came from a careful analysis aimed at positioning ourselves at the high-end of the power catamaran market” comments Giuseppe…

Originally specialized as a cruise ship yard, Meyer Group presented their 150-meter concept ONE 50 at the latest Yacht Show in Monaco, through their rib Meyer Yachts. The project is entirely focused on sustainability. “Since 1795, we have built more than 700 ships in Papenburg alone. So our references can be seen on all the world’s oceans. Now we are opening the next chapter in our history and entering the market for mega yachts. We have already received very positive feedback because we can realize almost limitless ideas and ship sizes - even the seemingly craziest ones. We are currently seeing that the demand for mega yachts is increasing and there is room for another shipyard in this segment,” says Bernard Meyer. No wonder, building large and complex ships is…

Mangusta 165 REV is the new Flagship of the yard’s Maxi Open Line, within the Overmarine Group. She was designed by the yard’s engineering office, in cooperation with the Studio Lobanov Design. As for the interiors, the constructor charged m2ateler architecture studio, which developed a modern décor where natural light takes the leading role. On designing the new Mangusta 165 REV, the Studio Lobanov designers enhanced both the hull and superstructure shapes by using wide glass surfaces, thus allowing m2atelier designers Marijana Radovic and Marco Bonelli to use natural light as the protagonist in the interior spaces. Full-height windows in the living room minimize the division between external and internal spaces, as well as the wide upper glass surface allows sunlight to step in from above. The main living room…

“Motopanfilo” in the sixties was the Italian word to designate large boats only few wealthy owners could boast, often show-biz, high society or Dolcevita representatives. Right in those years Benetti stood out as a leading company within Italian boat manufacturing, as it featured successful models like Delfino gabbiano and Mediterraneo in its range. 18 to 30 meter boats that made the yard the 4th yacht builder in the world as early as 1970, whose owners were celebrities like Prince Ranieri and world rock star David Bowie. A sleek and clean desig was those yachts’ distinctive feature, hull and superstructure merging into one volume ending in the classical round-shaped aft, and the interiors fully complying with the décor to be referred to as “mariners’ style”. On this basis Benetti now present…

Current time for design and project, though clearly cut to the bone, did not affect Ausonio’s way to a project: the “project integrated approach”, as he calls it, directly taking charge of all project-related aspects including propulsion. To be winning though, this approach needs rooted experience and know-how, to correctly set the job from the beginning, and make the right choices to base the following work on. The following picture shows an example of how, rapidly yet precisely enough, Ausonio succeeds in making the good preliminary choices to build his project on. And avoid mistakes! In detail, formulas and diagrams allow, with very little deviation, to deduce what a propeller performance will be, just starting from very few elements. These are: V: Project speed, in knots R: Hull resistance, hence…

On the occasion of the latest Monaco Yacht Show, Baglietto organized their traditional press meeting to recount the newly spent season and unveil their projects for the future. “It has been an exceptional year - commented Fabio Ermetto, Baglietto CCO - despite the difficulties of an unprecedented time in history, we have achieved significant results not only in terms of sales, with six boats sold in 12 months and 4 delivered, but also in terms of product quality and internal organization. We have reorganized the company, replaced important members of the management team and redesigned our production range, and the market has acknowledged our effort and commitment, rewarding us with important sales and international recognition, which we are very proud of.” Figures come out during the conference to confirm the…

A first look from the pier unquestionably shows Valerio Rivellini’s hand and creative talent. The boat ultimately combines innovations and engineering solutions in all of her sections: the fly with retractable cokpit, the double external bridge, the beach area whose sumptuous equipment and furniture disappear in a fascinating joint game. Not to mention the simply stunning owner’s suite: located in the aft, it is externally hidden by glass windows that provide a breathtaking view on the sea, as if it all happened on a floating beach. The designer’s aim was to find a meeting point between sails and engines fascination. The double external bridge stands out as the key element in this sense: a wheel for each side, next to the bulwark, where the view on mooring maneuvers is as…

F-Bridge is the new integrated bridge system, stemming from the cooperation between Furuno and Böning, for over 300-t gross tonnage yachts. The standard Bridge includes a command post, made up of two consoles and armchair between them, and three Hatteland 4K 55” monitors; a wide range of customized options however may include more armchairs or monitors. The two consoles flank the armchair on both sides, their ergonomic design integrates all necessary instruments to control the ship. Data are actually shown on the self standing 55” Hatteland displays, directly facing the command post. Their wide screen makes it possible to visualize multiple pages to handel more than one function simultaneously. Hattelands, besides, are “type pproved” for Furuno radars FAR series, and ECDIS Furun FMD-3200BB. In case of big dashboards an ultra-wide…

On 24 november 2021, the 115.1 metre “AHPO”, previously project Enzo, left the Lürssen shipyard and embarked on her maiden voyage. “AHPO” has been build for a repeat client who previously owned an 86-metre Lürssen and required top-notch design end engineering as well as seagoing comfort for his family. For the exterior and interior design, he once again trusted the design office Nuvolari-Lenard, who gave the yacht a unique look. Peter Lürssen comments: “The Owner’s brief was demanding. However, we believe our engineering expertise has surpassed his wishes to own a yacht that many years from now will be timeless and yet still ahead of its time. Our thanks, of course, go to the good design and communications with the Designers Nuvolari-Lenard and to Moran Yacht & Ship, who oversaw…

Last October “Shinkai” hits the water, the new 55-metre Vitruvius Yachts. She is the eighth superyacht to be launched from Philippe Briand’s Vitruvius Yachts studio, with construction and co-naval architecture carried out by Feadship De Vries, while Daniela Boutsen has provided her interior design. “This is a special project for us, as Shinkai is the second yacht that we have designed for her owner. In fact, he was the first yachtsman to embrace the benefits of Vitruvius’s efficient hulls,” says Philippe Briand. “Shinkai” is a 55-metre superyacht with a gross tonnage of 974 GT, and can reach the most remote places on the planet. She is ice-classed and stabilized by a vast mono gyroscope, which has never been specified on a yacht of this scale before. The 23-tonne gyroscope is particularly…

February next year is scheduled for delivery of fourth Tankoa S501, the 50-metre alluminium-built yacht designed by Francesco Paszkowsky Design. Like her predecessor “Bintador”, she will receive hybrid propulsion. This time though, the system stems from a cooperation with MAN and Siemens, and features three navigation modes: Diesel-mechanical, Diesel-electric, full electric. Though basically similar to the others, the new unit sticks out for a 5000 lt pool on the prow deck. “I am very happy and proud with the relationship that exists between the owner’s family and the shipyard’s technical department,” says Vicenzo Poerio, Tankoa CEO. “The enthusiasm with which the owner’s family is tackling this new project is contagious. Working together we’ve been able to satisfy all the customer’s needs in terms of layout and décor, and I’m confident…

A large pool of specialist lies behind the Zattera 42 Project, inspired by the dream of favouring the spiritual dimension and harmony with nature while living at sea.The best-known architect Renzo Piano and Olav Selvaag from Selva Bolig, the Norwegian company committed to permanent residences, got the main idea.Besides them illustrious names show up, like Nauta Design, in charge of the bridge and interior design, Francesco Rogantin, and his NAMES studio, who cared for naval architecture, Castagnola Yachts, the Lavagna-based yard where the boat is currently being built, and Siemens Energy, that developed the hybrid propulsion. Architect Adi Nataf and engineer Jurgen Reinhold, from Muller EDT, also said their word on the project. The result is a wooden yacht, the most sustainable material for sale, whose essential and modern design…

An outstanding Italian signature in yacht-design, an international brokerage and two renowned yacht surveyors from Italy and Turkey merged together to create the new brand Atlante Yachts, whose mission identifies with the best available building standards to create high-level boats. The yard’s range is currently composed of three lines: Classic, Levante, Mistral. The first includes three models, 30, 33 and 37 meters;the second includes two, 33 and 37 meters, the third and last limits to a 42-meter yacht. Classic-line yachts are elegant, their strong family feeling is based on sleek, tapered lines as well as warm, relaxing tints. The three layouts are also brought together by a common target: balancing external with internal spaces, emphasizing contact with nature, also thanks to the wide full height-glass windows. From the 30 to…

As a new yacht and superyacht brand, BGB is meant to be a boutique yard for those owners who want a totally customized yacht, designed by illustrious Italian brands and built by skillful experts and craftsmen from Ancona, where most of these brands are based. BGB, leading company for games and hospitality, obtained the rights to build a small number of Dreamline boats after the owner, the Slovenian tycoon Loris Pozar, bought a totally customized one for his needs. The tycoon was fascinated with the elegance of these yachts, and decided to promote the line himself: he proposed two models during the latest Cannes Yachting Festival, a 28 and a 35 meter, whose restyling has newly been provided by Enrico Gobbi’s Studio Team for Design. BGB Yachts 28’s layout offers…

Launched in 2020, “EIV” is a 50-meter that Rossinavi built for the US market; the Studio Enrico Gob-bi-Team for Design was both entrusted with the creation of exterior and interior design. The co-operation between the Viareggio based yard Rossinavi and the Venetian studio Enrico Gob-bi – Team For Design is a long-lasting one. It began in 2013 with the 48-foot “Velimari” and went on through the years to the present days. The result is a miscellaneous fleet of superyachts showing the Venetian studio’s ability to analyze tastes and needs of cross-generation owners. Among Team For Design recent works for Rossinavi we can quote the 70-meter Polaris, launched in 2021, the 50-meter “Piacere”, only for the interior design in 2021, and the new 50-meter EIV, standing out as the latest evolution…

Sanlorenzo Yacht and the well-known Zuccon International Project proceed their fruitful collaboration. At the 2021 Cannes Yachting Festival, they presented the new SL120A and SD118, both prosecutors of the new asymmetrical layout proposal. The SL120A, where the “A” stands for Asymmetric, is the new flagship of this line, as well of the SL range, and is a yacht that fully expresses the functionality offered by this innovative design idea, whose appreciation by owners testifies to its absolute validity. Based on an idea from the car designer Chris Bangle, Sanlorenzo and the Zuccon studio have created a new concept of habitability that allows the guests to exploit the full potential of the interior volumes, increasing the standards of comfort during their journey on board. The SL120A, which in its exterior design…

Steadily relying on GB Invest Holding AG’s financial stability, the IT world leader, Next Yacht Group is the team in charge of three yard’s heritage (Maiora, AB Yachts, CBI Navi), whose 40-year long history pricelessly contributed to the success of Italian nautical industry in the world.

Palumbo Superyachts is one of the main shipbuilding network, as it owns brands like Isa Yachts, Columbus Yachts, Mondomarine, Extra Yachts and Palumbo SY Refit. Considering further growth in the future, the Group aimed for the production site in Savona, where Mondomarine Yachts used to be built. Last September, Palumbo won for the second time the twenty-year concession of this site. As early as 2018, for the first bidding process, the Group had obtained consent from Por t Authorities; following other par ticipants’ appeal though, the Management Committee for Port Authority System preferred to announce a new bidding process “We can finally claim we are satisfied and confidently look to the future with clear objectives. The first step will be to fully resume maintenance and refitting activities, investing in structures…

Ever since the brand came into existence, Extra Yachts boats have always stood out as perfect to fully enjoy both cruising and roadstead. As a Group, Palumbo Superyachts have always counted on several brands – Columbus Yachts, Isa Yachts and, more recently, Mondomarine- for a superb superyacht range, living up to all kind of requirement. Francesco Guida’s contribution was crucial for the group to invest in a totally out-of-the-box product, with extra internal volumes to make these boats closer and closer to the idea a floating villa The Triplex line raises the idea to the nth power, thanks to the third deck that gifts guests with the greatest comfort Design, clearly signed by Francesco Guida, exalts contrasts between the superstructure soft and rounded surfaces and the strictly white topside, with…

METSTRADE and the latest Monaco Yacht show were the occasions for Team Italia to show the new I-Bridge Dharma Next, a command bridge that bets on converting a generally considered technical area into a relaxing area where the owners and his guests can totally enjoy sailing. To make this possible, designers eliminated all those volumes from the bridge design that were supposed to host single instruments, and differently distributed them following a new, cutting-edge architecture. The traditional idea of the owner’s sofa has also been modified, and replaced with seats you can enjoy sailing from, without impeaching the commander, who receives his own totally integrated control station. Seats are actually separated by a Front Bridge that conceals the principal navigation controls, including a Display Multi Conning system that allows the…

The custom Amels 78 has been unveiled in-full for the first time since arriving at the Amels and Damen Yachting facilities in Vlissingen in 2020. The move outside of the build shed marks yet another major milestone in the build journey of this 78 metre full custom Amels. It follows the initial floating which took place earlier this year during a private attended by the owner’s team, the designers involved in the project and the Amels and Damen Yachting team. Andrew Tree of Superyacht Technical Services explains why this latest milestone has had such an impact on all those involved in the project: “The moment a project heads outside for the first time is always very special. It’s impossible not to be proud of reaching that moment and having the…

Royal Huisman has finally delivered its 58.5 metre “PHI”. “PHI” is a magnificently sensuous motor yacht from the drawing board of Cor D. Rover, who has based the general concept, exterior design and interior layout on many in-depth conversations with the owner over a period of years. Relating inside and outside to the ”sectio divina” or the Golden Ratio, PHI is the formula that governs the continuation of dimensions and shapes in natural proportions throughout the design. The PHI philosophy and deck levels are subsequently focused on three themes: the galaxy, the ocean surface and the underwater world. Owner’s Representative Guy Booth commented: “All of us involved in the creation of PHI feel a sense of privilege to have had the opportunity to contribute to this innovative project. The co-operation…

Heesen plants are buzzing, as usual. The new Steel Class 55-metre “project Apollo”, designed by Omega Architects and Luca Dini Design and Architecture, had her keel laid last August. It is an “on spec” construction, allowing the future owner to take possession of it much earlier than he would were it a conventional construction. bb “Our 55-metre Steel is a unique and very competitive design,” commented Friso Visser, Heesen CCO. “We believe in this proven design platform and have worked with Omega and Luca Dini on creating a yacht that meets the refined tastes of clients who appreciate Dutch quality with a shortened delivery time.” After a few busy days and complex operations, the hull and superstructure of “Project Skyfall” were joint together in Heesen plants last September. Designed by…

External design is Filippo Salvetti’s work, his third for Ferretti Yachts, the internal one is signed Ideaeitalia. Externally, full height glasses and crystal rope pulleys are easily noted, although the general impression clearly sticks with the yard family feeling and their latest yachts. As for the interior, round and harmonic lines stick out, matching outstanding elements like the winding stair on the main deck and the freestanding furniture art-deco style. Following ferretti’s “Just like Home” philosophy, designers came up with the ultimate solutions for a smooth interior-exterior interaction, also thanks to the opening glass windows on both gunwales and an…

The name itself, Super Sportivo 100GTO, is enough to expect one of a kind performances. Truly, this 80-foot easily reaches 55kn maximum speed, even exceeding preliminary theoretical calculations. Besides the mighty MAN engines, and the Swedish MJP waterjets with them, there was one fundamental contribution to these performances, and it was Studio Arnaboldi’s, that was also in charge of the ship’s naval architecture. Founded by Angelo Arnaboldi, and handed over to his son Marco, Studio Arnaboldi is mostly known for their projects of 16 to 44meter high-performance yachts and military ships. “We are a comprehensive marine engineering studio that has developed its own advanced research on hulls and materials. We can deal withevery design aspect of the boat, from hull and deck construction to the interior,” explains Marco Arnaboldi. “It…

Three previously launched units and three more being built, one of which sold already, another one “on spec”, confirm the S501 platform as a leading project in its category. The reasons for this success can be traced within a co-occurrence of factors: first of all Francesco Paszkowsky’s fascinating design, characterized by angular yet sleek lines, to create a balance of sporty elegance. Then comes the size, 50 meters being enough to include S501 among outstanding superyachts, though still allowing to keep her under the crucial threshold of 499 GT.The third reason lies in the “on spec” production system, that significantly reduces manufacturing costs and delivery time, despite the wide customization offer. Born in 2017, when “Vertige” was launched, followed by her hybrid-propelled sister ship “Bintador”, the line confirms itself with…

The latest Monaco Yacht Show was the occasion for Italian long-established yard Benetti to announce their top-market figures, confirming the yard’s leadership in the Superyacht sector. More specifically, steel made Superyachts. The reason for this lasting success is not only found in the legacy of a name, but also, and mainly, in precise and carefully oriented choices such as technological innovation and cooperation with leading companies in the domain, both for design and naval architecture. “With the experience gained from the gigayachts, we have made yet another leap forward in terms of quality, technology and image and the market is rewarding us for this. Benetti’s strategy today is to continue with the custom constructions and deliver growth based on naval platforms up to 70 meters and over, while at the…

We have more than once underlined, on these pages, how important swimming pools are on modern superyachts: we considered their aesthetic features, more and more sophisticated technologies and all complexities technicians have to face for a perfect project. The most famous and renowned yards do not fail to consult specialized companies when it gets down to install pool on their superyachts. A widely known company of these is Centro Italia, established 1987 in Rome, whose knowhow combines projects and manufacturing of wellness and outdoor design solutions. By carefully accounting for every single project’s peculiarities, Centro Italia has made itself known for aesthetic and technological solutions they applied to thei products, while more recently considering boating as they cooperated with Columbus Yacht, a brand of Palumbo Group, to develop the pool…

A preview from the Greek yard Onda Tenders came during the latest Monaco Yacht Show, the new flagship of their support boat fleet, 371GT. It is a totally customizable tender, and this adaptability makes it more than interesting as it practically makes any layout possible. 371GT may be built as a tender, as a chase boat, as a support boat to challenge one’s passions, like diving or sport fishing, or just as a day boat to be separately used from the mother ship. The boat was initially conceived as a premium range one, built in first choice materials and showing high level details. The fabrics that coat external seats, to quote one. The hull is totally performance-oriented: deep aft V and two middle boat aired steps, while a wide choice…

Last September, in their new plants, Royal Huisman carried out full capsizing maneuver of the Project 405 hull; the event is due to mark a new phase in the production process. Designed together with Reichel/Pugh and Nauta, the yacht belongs to the new maxi-cruiser generation that Royal Huisman based on the innovative “featherlight” technology, which mixes alluminium and carbon fiber in a half-automated process to optimize structural parameters. Its 11% weight reduction allows Project 405 to easily compete with modern carbon-composite yachts on regatta fields, yet providing comfort and low noise as only an ocean cruise yacht can. A geometrically sport hull was specifically designed for this model by Reichel/Pugh studio, with its straight prow, large aft and double rudder blade. Nauta Design, on the other hand, developed an elegant…
