Superyacht International Spring 2022

It often happens, at a public event, to hear a dramatically topical theme included in the authorities’ inaugural speech before they cut the ribbon. Unscheduled and unpredictable. It also happened in Dubai, last March, when everybody felt some hints at the Ukrainian situations should be added to greetings and gratitude for the upcoming Boat Show. The point is, 3500 kilometers between Kiev and the Emirates were not enough to keep the city of Burj Khalifa away from the consequences of the conflict. These are felt from different points of view. First of all because the Russian and Ukrainian communities who previously and peacefully lived there are certainly due to grow. What’s more, the substantially neutral State allows those who fear international sanctions to vouchsafe at least part of their assets,…

The Benetti Oasis family is getting larger. The new 34-metre has just been launched, joint effort of the Italian yard with the English Study RWD and the NY Study Bonetti & Kozersky, the former being in charge of the entire Benetti range. The project of the new 34 metre is centered on the Oasis Deck, Benetti’s trademark, a true private oasis at sea. Five points make it unique, compared with traditional Beach clubs: the two folding wings on either side, an integrated infinity pool with see-through glass window, surrounded by a sunbathing area with lounge, a 270-degree view on the aft, a connection with the interior that perfectly combines sun and shade on the deck to meet different needs, and a social design for an overall glamourous touch. The RWD-signed…

Currently under construction in the Ancona-based yard, CRN M/Y 42 is a 52-metre motoryacht, 9 metres wide for a 499-tonn gross tonnage. The exterior design is Omega Architects’ job, whose unmistaken signature is particularly evident from the yacht’s aft, where stately volumes alternate with empty spaces to create a protected area which doesn’t fail to be in touch with the sea. One of the socially most important areas on the yacht is found here, a lounge with solarium and spa pool as a natural progression of the beach club: a multi-function sea-level terrace that combines a relaxing open air living with a bar leaning towards the spa zone which features a hammam and experiential shower An elegant and airy open space is accessed from the main deck lounge, the former…

While making their alliance steadier, Rossinavi and Enrico Gobbi – Team for Design unveil the new Portofino 42, a 499gt yacht designed to use every single cubic centimetre she has to offer. The yacht is actually designed to provide best comfort even on the toughest voyage, and therefore abounds in internal and external spaces for top flexibility in use. From the 130-square metre sundeck to the 60-square metre beach club, there’s room for everybody to meet their own necessities. The internal layout was planned to be as family friendly as possible, featuring four equally sized guests cabins besides the owner’s suite. Pleasant relaxation and dining areas, lounge with coffee-bar, and the prow open air cinema on the upper deck complete the picture. Let us follow the order though. The main…

Alia Yachts, Vripack and SF Yachts, the team we owe“Al Waab” to, came together again to design a new 60 metre Ice-Class, on an expert owner’s demand. “Coming hard on the heels of Al Waab, we are thrilled to once again collaborate with the same team on another innovative and inspiring new build,” says Gökhan Çelik, President of Alia Yachts. “Turkey is fast becoming a hub for building globe-trotting superyachts. Add to that Vripack’s renowned explorer heritage and SF Yachts’ expertise and this promises to be yet another excellent new build project.” The idea for this new 60-metre stems from the owner’s request for a fast yacht, capable of navigating anywhere while hosting a large family for long periods. 810t gross tonnage, her inner volumes and generous outer spaces are…
