Project: Cheoy Lee CLB80

After launching the CLB65, the entry-level model in the B-Series, Cheoy Lee CL Yachts has made a strategic move to fill the void between CLB72 and the B-Series CLB88 flagship with the introduction of the CLB80 project. An enclosed bridge pocket super yacht of just over 24 meters in length, and just under eighty tons of displacement the CLB80 is designed by Jozeph Forakis, who was entrusted with the mission of preserving the brand's distinctive DNA while also infusing the overall concept with a more streamlined and sporty aesthetic. Throughout this creative process, particular emphasis has been placed on enhancing onboard comfort rather than focusing solely on raw performance. The exterior of CLB80 showcases a refreshing and contemporary aesthetic, blending modern elements with the hallmark features that define the brand’s, and the B-series, identity. One distinctive aspect that sets this model apart is the evolution of the unique stepped side windows. These carefully crafted windows not only infuse a modern touch but also enhance visibility, allowing natural light to flood into the living spaces. The CLB80 is to be offered with an aft or forward galley, and single or double fly and main deck helm station choices. These choices compliment a four double cabins lower deck, which features a separate entry VIP suite forward. Two crew cabins are located aft.  CL yachts has not announced any speeds and engine options for the CLB80 but expect speeds in the mid-twenties.

New Model: Cheoy Lee CLB65

Cheoy Lee presents the CLB65, a flybridge motor yacht which represents a new entry point into CL Yachts’ line-up, with luxurious features inspired by her larger sister-ships. With standard twin 800hp Volvo engines with IPS pod pro propulsion the CLB65 can hit an impressive top end of 27 knots and cruise at a very respectable 21 knots. CLB65 comes fitted with multiple helm stations, one on the main deck and on the flying bridge, so that owner-operators have a choice of staying protected or fully enjoying the marine environment around them. Additionally, two wing control stations to either side of the aft deck are incredibly helpful when getting in and out of marinas. The CLB65 features an aft galley on the main deck layout, the first Cheoy Lee yachts with such a layout. With a hinged door and flip-up glass, the main deck can be fully opened. It’s an exciting development that makes food service to the salon or the cockpit equally easy, and helps make CLB65 an excellent entertainment platform. The salon has multiple seating options, including a large U-shaped settee forward and to port that will be a focal point for conversation. The CLB65 was imagined with volume and comfort in mind, to that end she is built on the same hull as the larger CLB72, with the same beam but shorter. The benefits of this choice are obvious to anyone who steps aboard, particularly in the full-beam en-suite midships master stateroom with extraordinary volume and remarkable natural light, followed by forepeak en-suite VIP with island-queen berth. A spacious guest stateroom to port has twin berths that are perfect for guests. All staterooms on the lower deck have opening port lights to enhance ventilation. Throughout the interior which can be finished in either walnut or hickory oiled veneers and a neutral color palette mean the CLB65 is effortlessly cool and timelessly stylish. As for outdoor entertainment spaces, the CLB65 has an expansive flybridge with everything needed for alfresco cruising, including multiple settees, a barbecue and wet bar at amidships, with a hardtop to provide shade for the whole proceeding. A foredeck lounge with a sun-pad provides a further entertainment area, and one which will provide much welcome privacy when this motor yacht is moored stern-to.

Improve-it = Cheoy Lee CLB88

Cheoy Lee presents an improved CLB88, the 27 meter super yacht flagship of the B seriies and designed by world-renowned Milan-based Jozeph Forakis. The CLB88 has already won a Good Design Award from the Chicago Athenaeum Museum of Architecture and Design. What’s more, it was also a finalist for Boat International’s Design and Innovation Awards in 2021. A deeper colour scheme characterises the first interior package. The palette, which features teak and walnut, gives the interior a real sense of gravitas and masculinity. However, Cheoy Lee realised that some may prefer a lighter touch and Forakis envisioned a second palette made up of soft greys and fair oaks. Such a palette plays well with the natural light welcomed on board through CLB88’s expansive windows. The overall effect is an inviting, bright and modern feeling, like the faint recall of a summer beach holiday. Forakis is also excited about other new developments on the super yacht. Think integrated carpeting in the after section of the salon and an abundant use of Corian. Fenix, a new matte laminate that utilises high tech nanotechnology, will also feature.

New Model: Cheoy Lee CLX96

After much anticipation Cheoy Lee CL Yachts first sea activity vessel inspired super yacht the CLX96 has made its technical launch. The splashing of the 29 meter super yacht was briefly held up due to issues surrounding the pandemic, but now the process is humming along smoothly.  Which is excellent, because the vessel has already received much fanfare for its innovative design and luxurious features. CLX96 has previously won Good Design Award 2020, a Bronze A’ Design Award 2021 as well as the prestigious award from the International Yacht and Aviation Awards 2021.  CLX96 rugged performance is mirrored by her unique aesthetic, which masterfully blends gracefulness and muscularity into a style referred to as workboat chic. Paramount to this look is the yacht’s two-level deckhouse with reverse-sheer windshields.  The angle of those windshields has a highly functional, multiple purpose. First, in rough seas, water washes away from a reverse sheer smoothly and efficiently, ensuring good sight-lines when you need them the most. Secondly, the angle of the windshields reduces a greenhouse effect in the interior, keeping it cool and comfortable for passengers. The windshield works in concert with CLX96’s instantly recognizable plumb bow to make this yacht the star at any harbour she may visit.  A final advantage is that the vertical windows allow for more interior space, a major reason why this yacht feels so massive inside.  The instantly iconic profile was dreamed up by Milan-based designer Jozeph Forakis, who is best known for his work outside the yachting industry, who brought a fresh touch and a rebel’s insight to the sketches. CL Yachts anticipates a cruising speed of 22 knots and a top speed of 27 knots at half load and coming from twin Caterpillar 1900hp engines.

Project: Cheoy Lee 150 Explorer

Pushed by the signing of new designer Jon Overing and following the popularity of the Cheoy Lee long-range explorer yachts, a new generation redesign could further enhance the noteworthy efficiency of the displacement steel hull. A powerful single engine Caterpillar 1911hp, with a diesel propulsion engine forward as backup, combined with the large rudder and hydrodynamic bulbous hull, deliver 35% lower fuel consumption. This efficiency is strategic, giving better efficiency and an intent to add a "green" factor to its Explorer series.  While the Explorer yacht's heritage lies in Cheoy Lee's tradition of building durable, long-range commercial ships, the luxury consumer amenities of the model are unsurpassed by other such vessels in its class. The 150 Explorer can travel self-sustained for long distances without sacrificing a single creature comfort. The increased fuel capacity now enables travel from seven to nine thousand nautical miles, enabling exploration of multiple destinations in one cruise. The new 150 Explorer also has increased living space, in keeping with the design philosophies of Cheoy Lee. Utilizing the full capacity of the vessel's depth, piping and wiring are all conveniently located beneath the sole, easily accessible for maintenance, leaving more efficient use of space above for spacious cabins, salon and galley areas.  The Cheoy Lee 150 Explorer's three and a half deck layout provides for great interior volume and versatility.

Project: Cheoy Lee 111

With exceptional interior and exterior volume, the Choey Lee 111 yacht has crossover appeal for both the Express and traditional motor yacht customer. Increased fuel capacity, length and luxurious amenities will lend a motor yacht feel, complemented by a modern two deck and a half looks. The 111 adds a new dimension to the Cheoy Lee line up of yachts and super yachts and wants to tick customers who come from its Alpha range or similar European looking competing brands.  Powered by twin 1900hp Cat engines the 111 has some impressive cruise numbers at 10 knots economic speeds which give a two thousand nautical miles range. Non the less the 111 can be pushed to a max speed of 24 knots, and 21 fast cruise.

Project: Cheoy Lee 83 Serenity

Cheoy Lee presents the project for a full displacement super yacht set to launch in about a years time, the 83 Serenity. This new member of the Cheoy Lee Serenity range is a seaworthy and economical yacht which takes some roots from trawler explorer style small ships. Designed by Michael Burvenich, the 83 Serenity is available in two different forms, a more traditional canoe stern design, or a European model, this last including a Euro-transom with twin stairs from the aft deck to the swim platform. The Euro transom can also be configured with an optional passarelle. The hull is designed with flatter sections aft that enables the hull to run faster than a traditional displacement shape of the same water line length, yet still calculated to be approximately 30% more efficient at cruising speed than a similar sized semi-displacements at equivalent speeds. The interior layout will be a split level saloon offering a relaxing lounge upon entrance with a C-shaped sofa to starboard, a bar with three stools, and dining table. Further forward and up a step is the working area of the main deck where will be a separate galley, day head, and the helm station room which also features an L-shaped settee to starboard. Below accommodation is a three double stateroom in the forward section, with the owners room to mid ship. Aft are two double crew cabins both with en-suite head. Power for the Cheoy Lee 83 Serenity will be from twin 660hp Cats with an optional of an independent hybrid system by Siemens which is powered by the generators. www.cheoylee.com

Project: Cheoy Lee 59 Serenity

In 2008 Cheoy Lee launched the first yacht in the Serenity Series, a 68 footer based on the efficiencies of a true displacement hull with long range explorer yacht features. The line’s flagship will be the new Serenity 83, currently under construction. The Serenity 59, shown in the picture above, is the third model in the series, and should launch before the end of the year and the first two hulls will be delivered to Australia and Florida. Mike Burvenich designed the three stateroom yacht with a large walk in lazarette aft of the engine room. New Zealand’s High Modulus designed the composite structure, subsequently granted Germanischer Lloyd class certification. A solid, hand laid hull with double bottom tanks, resin infused decks, bulkheads and superstructure provides a tough configuration, combined with a low center of gravity and hence stability. Single and twin engine configurations will be available, both with full propeller protection. Estimated range on the standard 7500 litres fuel tanks is 2000nm at nine knots, and over 4000nm at seven knots with a single engine set up. The standard single engine package is a John Deere 330hp. Twin John Deere 236hp engines are the factory option, although other configuration powers are available.
