New Model: Wally Power50

At the appointment of the 2024 Dusseldorf boat show in January, Wally came full guns blazing by presenting its new Power50 model. Spanning the arc between the Wallytender range and the Wally Power58, the new Wally Power50 is so flexible and adaptable that it can serve as anything from chase-boat to tender to day-cruiser to luxury weekender to high-octane thrill-ride, proof indeed that whatever life you want to lead, the Power50 is the bridge that can take you there. The Wallypower50 combines the more open design of the Wallytenders with the more spacious areas of the Wallypower58, with an extensive options list that means you can define a Wallypower50 to meet your operational wishes. Love the vertical stem and inimitably striking lines of the Wallypowers? The new Wallypower50 carries that design DNA in her profile and her hull, matching flair with finesse. But if you want an element of Wallytender practicality, no problem as you can spec a wraparound fender like those found on the Wallytenders to give you more rugged workhorse capability. Central to the onboard experience is the beautifully drawn balance between rugged practicality and sublime functionality, and it is here that the shared genes between the Wallytenders and the Wallypowers is truly evident. The wallypower50 boasts all the open space of her smaller cousins, which lends herself perfectly to working tender operational parameters, but adds touches that speak to her standalone capabilities too. There are two sunbeds aft instead of one, with a generous walkway between them offering easy boarding and disembarkation; moreover, drop-down aft bulwarks extend the aft deck space by six square meters, creating a luxurious area for enjoying the sea or enjoying a sundowner or two with family and friends. Forward of the sunbeds, nestling under the protection of the angular cockpit structure yet still delivering an alfresco feel, is the cockpit saloon. A dining table with banquettes and further bench seating comfortably accommodates eight guests, with space for more on forward-facing bench seats plus the helm chairs. Of course, there is also a foredeck sunpad with adjustable headrests, ideal for soaking up some rays at anchor or away from prying eyes when moored stern-to; there is also easy access to the hidden anchoring system, which itself is not only a neat design trick but also means even the foredeck is clutter free. The helm itself is elegant and modern, offering all controls to hand and with two large MFDs providing access to all operating and systems data as well as a comprehensive navcomms suite. The helm is ideally located for all-round visibility – particularly pertinent when riding the wallypower50 to her higher performance limits. Below, the wallypower50 reveals her power roots, with not only a full head and shower but a welcoming space that can offer everything you need for weekending, or even longer cruising. A large forward double berth, cosy saloon area and kitchenette galley, all finished to the highest standards, mean the wallypower50 can just as easily be your pied-a-terre wherever you wish to go – a luxurious and inviting studio apartment that’s perfect for couples. The wallypower50 doesn’t just encompass flexibility, she also offers a bridge into the rarefied world of true performance boating because if a thrilling, responsive, exhilarating dream-ride is what you’re after, of course there’s a version for you. The standard WallyPower50 is powered by twin Volvo 480hp with IPS pod drives propulsion for a thirty knots cruise and a top speed of 36 knots, all the while combining performance with easy handling thanks to a perfect hull, and joystick control with optional DPS for close-quarters situations. For those who revel in real performance, there’s the Wallypower50X. Offered in two variants, each with quad Mercury outboards, the 50X multiplies the Wally factor and takes you for a serious blast. With the quad 400hp options, you’re looking at a 48-knot max with a range of 240 nautical miles. Step up to the quad 500hp option and watch the Wallypower50X power to more than fifty knots. It's not just about grunt, of course. The wallypower50 and 50X draw on a deep-V hull to offer stability at speed and the ability to cruise faster even in bigger seas, meaning more scope to enjoy everything the wallypower50 offers in more conditions.

New Model: Tankoa T450

Sold in late 2021 shortly after the new series was presented, the first unit in the Tankoa T450 has been launched and christened m/y Go at the shipyard in Genoa. First Tankoa model under fifty meters in length, the T450 expands Tankoa's range of super yachts, bringing the builder's values to the market of more compact vessels. It reaffirms the boutique shipyard's reputation, rooted in its commitment to quality and comfort, coupled with innovation and elegance, making it a true benchmark. Built in steel and alumimium, the T450 is an innovative project by Giorgio M Cassetta, intended to maintain the brand's timeless aesthetics while introducing bold vertical elements to the superstructure, combined with sleek horizontal lines. Introduced to the shipyard by Italian Yacht Group of Fort Lauderdale, the American client for the first unit requested that the original gross tonnage of 430GT be increased to 450GT to provide more interior volume. In terms of accommodation, M/Y Go offers a huge master stateroom forward on the main deck and five comfortable guest suites on the lower deck. Throughout the yacht, expansive windows flood the interior with natural light, emphasizing the spaciousness of each area. The generous beach club features opening side platforms that wrap around the stern and a sliding sun-pad that closes the pool during navigation. The large sundeck has a hydro-massage tub and shaded dining area, while the upper deck is fitted out with a dedicated gym and a fire pit in the bow. With a second unit in the T450 sold and under construction, as well as the TX450, Go will be delivered in the spring and make her international debut at the autumn boat shows.

New Model: Wider WiLder 60

Wider debuted its stunning new WiLder 60 in early February 2024, launching it at the Wider Vision Hub, the brand’s 2023 opened shipyard in Fano, Italy. Delivering superyacht levels of custom finish and supermodel looks in eighteen meters plus a thrill-a-minute high-performance package, the WiLder 60 is the apogee of brilliance, designed and realized to exceptional exterior spaces and exquisite interior styling and finishing, conceived to appeal to the wilder side in us all. With design coming from Wider Centro Stile, the in-house design team, the first WiLder 60 is a showcase in Wider’s commitment to excellence and the genius of its new WiLder brand. The first WiLder 60 has been built for a European owner and her custom layout and finish has been completed to the owner’s exacting specifications. Coupled to the performance hull, which was developed by the naval architecture team at Wider Engineering, is an interior that features two twin guest suites amidships plus a forward owner’s cabin with inviting centerline double and starboard-side ensuite. Between the two is a saloon equipped with designer galley cabinet and a relaxation area with sofa and television. Interior touches include luxurious leathers in contrasting shades of beige, marbles, brilliantly conceived lighting and beautiful gloss finishes that draw on Wider’s extensive experience building some of the world’s finest superyachts. The sumptuous and sensual textiles and textures hint at elegant debauchery, the very essence of the WiLder 60’s raison d’être. Up top, the WiLder’s appeal to the wild side is clear there’s a forward party deck, aft social deck with sun-pads and alfresco dining area, and a central helm. From here, the owner will be able to fully enjoy the sparkling performance of the WiLder 60, propelled by twin Man 1300hp engines, achieving a cruising speed of 35 knots and a maximum speed of forty knots. A 325-nautical-mile range ensures that no party is too far. While the first WiLder 60 was launched at the Fano Vision Hub, where the testing of new models takes place, the WiLder series will be built at Wider’s Superyacht Hub in Venice, where two more bespoke WiLder 60s, each set to stun on their respective launches are already in build. The much-anticipated arrival of the first WiLder 60 also marks Wider’s second significant milestone in this 2024, following the launch of the WiderCat92, the brand’s first multihull. Both these striking additions to the Wider fleet are not only symbolic of engineering and design talent that lies within the company, but also of its path of growth from groundbreaking superyachts into all areas of the bespoke yacht market.

New Model: Azimut Fly 72

The circle keeps on coming complete for Azimut with the new Fly 72 being the latest to take the Alberto Mancini design treatment outside.  The Azimut Fly 72 replaces the Righini designed 72 Flybridge which launched in 2015 after nearly eight years of production, and is also a new shaft propulsion yacht in its Fly line since 2018, which was the 55 Flybridge which debuted at Dusseldorf of that year.  As is usual to  Alberto Mancini for the Azimut Fly 72 he continues to show a sporty element in his designs, leaner and horizontal characterized clean lines, which further emphasize the sculptural tension that characterizes the Fly Series. Fabio Fantolino responsible for the interior on the other hand, renders the Fly 72 according to his distinctive style aimed at seeking perfect harmony between elegance, design and technique. The interiors are designed with a transversal stylistic approach, also evident in the choice of materials and shapes: wood combined with precious materials such as bronze and glossy lacquers, and shapes balanced between linearity and softness.  The Azimut Fly 72 also comes with a few options form the choice to make a 42 inch Lift TV on the flybridge, to the most important one of an Enclosed or Open galley on the main deck.  Down below the Azimut Fly 72 has a traditional four double cabins layout, with a master stateroom at midships, VIP suite forward, and two double cabins.  A crew cabin with two berths is located aft.  The Azimut Fly 72 is powered by two 1400hp Man engines with line shaft propulsion which give a cruise of 26 knots and reach a top speed up to 31 knots.

New Model: Ferretti Custom Line Navetta 38

The first Custom Line Navetta 38 superyacht touched the water for the first time on Wednesday January 31, at the Ferretti Group Superyacht Yard in Ancona, during a ceremony attended by the owner family and the shipyard’s employees, who witnessed the launch of the first hull super yacht with great pride and satisfaction. Multiple features ensure that the owner and his family will have a unique cruising experience on board this superyacht, with sophisticated combinations of elegance and live-ability, timelessly classic style, immersive continuity between interiors and exteriors, and direct contact with the sea, not least thanks to the generous and versatile beach club. Replacing the Navetta 37 after seven years of production and fifteen hulls the Custom Line Navetta 38 was designed, engineered and built at the Ferretti Group Superyacht Yard in Ancona and is the result of a joint design effort by the Ferretti Group Product Strategy Department and its Engineering Department as directed by Piero Ferrari. Ferretti's Custom Line Navetta 38 is a semi-custom yacht measuring over 38 meters in length with a displacement hull and a total volume of 299 gross tonnage characterized by innovative exterior and interior design and outstanding seagoing performance. The exterior styling is by Filippo Salvetti, while the interior design is by ACPV Architects Antonio Citterio Patricia Viel. Custom Line Atelier provided vital interior design consulting, working in close contact with the owner to transform the yacht into a faithful portrait of his style preferences. A hymn to the values of quality, volume and comfort extending across four decks, the new Custom Line Navetta 38 has in fact been designed to maximize use of all the spaces available on its four decks. In more detail, it has a large master suite of over forty square meters on the main deck, with completely separated crew and guest flows to ensure maximum privacy. In addition to the master suite, Custom Line Navetta 38 has four guest cabins on the lower deck, accommodating a total of ten people on board and seven crew members, including the captain. The exterior design of Custom Line Navetta 38 is classic, timeless and clean, featuring essential and elegant sculptural lines enhanced by generous glazed surfaces and forming a harmonious blend of maritime tradition and stylish innovation. The yacht’s interiors are designed for maximum use of space, with optimum control of all volumes and functional exploitation of the entire available surface area to ensure flexibility. Natural light is amplified by huge floor-to-ceiling windows, creating stylish continuity between external and internal spaces and a feeling of perfect harmony with the marine environment.  Custom Line 38 is powered by twin Man 1400hp for a top speed up to fifteen knots, a cruise of twelve, and long range of 2800 nautical miles at ten knots.

New Model: BlueGame BGM75

A power catamaran with a new vision! BlueGame's BGM75 is the first model of the BGM range, a power catamaran which does not fit into an existing segment but creates a new one.  A parallel segment away from the current multihulls available on the market.  Primarily because from the first glance, the shape of this 22 meter yacht moves away from the “boxy” shape of a catamaran, thanks to the reduced width in favor of a ratio between beam and length closer to a mono-hull. This allows for the horizontal surfaces between the two hulls to connect creating a single volume, as if the BGM75 was a mono-hull, but with larger spaces and the possibility of having a full beam owner’s cabin of extraordinary dimensions. Also viewed from the stern, BGM75 is not comparable to traditional catamarans, thanks to an elegant and balanced mono-hull which ‘incidentally’ has two hulls. BGM75 was launched during the Cannes 2023 boat show after three years of meticulous studies and analysis, culminating in the construction of a full-scale prototype of the hull to validate the research data, guarantee unparalleled sailing comfort and confirm the advantages of this particular multihull setting in terms of sustainability. In this large time dedicated to design, Bernardo Zuccon and Piero Lissoni, world famous designers, have fully grasped the power of such an avant-garde project, giving respectively a contribution to the external lines that makes them today the classics of the future, and for interiors with an original approach in terms of lay-out, use of spaces and materials, resulting in maximum comfort, refinement and distinctive livability. For all these reasons, BGM75 perceives itself to be much more than a yacht, it’s the firstborn of a new concept that BlueGame will develop over different ranges, with a smaller BGM already in planning stages.

New Model: Swan Overshadow 13.0 m

Nautor Swan continues the expansion in its motor yacht division by presenting Swan OverShadow, a thirteen meter sport cruiser redefining the concept of enjoying life at sea. The elegance and style of Nautor Swan’s has been perfectly reinterpreted by Jarkko Jämsén, resident Swan Shadow designer, focusing on the main elements in the Finnish brand’s DNA: quality, innovation, performance and reliability. The Swan OverShadow is based on the high-performing hull of the Swan Shadow, which is particularly efficient and seaworthy, with the difference of an inboard engine with stern-drive propulsion and two alternative layout configurations upper and below deck. The flush deck offers great livability with an external wet bar equipped with a galley, and an over two-meter-long sunbed. A very generous dining area deploys around the sofas for a convivial vibe. The ample space on the deck has been made possible by positioning the sunbed more aft over the inboard engines. This also frees up the stern area, providing a more functional aft deck for the driver to maneuver, making the boat easier to handle. The stern platform has the same functionality as in the Swan Shadow, with three positions: central position for driving, upper position serving as a passarelle, and below water level position for easier access to the water when swimming or doing watersports. The brand-new Swan OverShadow features a high and wide windshield, offering more protection in the cockpit and ensuring more safety and comfort for the driver and co-pilot while cruising at higher speeds. The full, closed bow of the design creates more space in front below deck, where OverShadow features two alternative layouts: a double or a twin bed configuration. The double offers more comfort when spending a weekend away, while the twin configuration offers more floor space, creating a seating area. Both layouts feature a larger and more spacious head than their predecessor.
