Projects: Numarine 38XPC, Numarine 39MXPC

Numarine, the Turkish builder of efficient explorer yachts, has revealed details of a brand new Classic superyacht XPC line, presenting the two 38XPC and 39MXPC projects. The line emerged from Numarine's desire to reinterpret a classic inspired timeless looking yacht with the aesthetics through the lens of modern exploration, while also responding to growing interest from clients for a more refined and enduring design language. For both these XPC projects, which are based on the same hull lines the exterior design comes from Can Yalman, who has been the Turkish designer since it debuted its first 52 Open model in 2003. The 38XPC picture above, and 39MXPC pictured below main difference, that the first offers a transom stern with tender garage and the later one offers a modern beach club aft, with drop down side bulkheads.  The Numarine 38XPC and 39XPC will offer accommodation for twelve guests including an owners stateroom on the upper deck, with crew accommodation for seven in four cabins, with a captains cabin located by the wheel-house.  Both yachts are to be build with a streel hull, and aluminium super structure, with fiberglass for the upper part and are to be powered by twin MAN 800hp and or optional 900hp for top speeds up to fourteen knots and a cruise of twelve, and a six thousand nautical miles long range at eight knots.

Yacht Fire at Westshore Yacht Club in South Tampa, Florida

A not attended twenty meter flybridge yacht had an onboard fire while berthed at the Westshore Yacht Club Marina in South Tampa, Florida before 10:00 morning time of Wednesday ten December.  Tampa Fire Rescue tended to the blaze with a fire boat, and were also assisted by the US Coast Guard.  The cause of the fire seem to come from the stern of the yacht, with the efforts to stop the blaze listing it astern.  The yacht was saved from major damage as the fire was controlled in the engine room, and did not spread to other nearby vessels.  No injuries were reported also because the yacht had no one onboard, with the cause of the fire being under investigation.

The yacht in this fire is a Uniesse 65 MY as designed by Fred Hudson and produced from 2007 to 2014.  The 65 MY was released as a filler model between the Uniesse 58 MY and 70 MY.

New Model: Antonini Navi Seamore 34

Antonini Navi celebrates the launch of the Seamore 34, the first yacht built at its La Spezia yard. This significant milestone marks the brand's entry into the steel superyacht segment under 500 GT, a highly competitive market dominated by major Italian and Northern European shipyards. The launch of the Seamore 34 is a growth milestone for the shipyard, which is rapidly establishing its credentials as a new player with industry experts and owners interested in custom and semi-custom steel yachts. With a second unit already nearing launch and a third at a stage of construction, taken together with the development of new projects in partnership with international design firms; from Fulvio De Simoni, Hot Lab, and Nauta, Antonini Navi is now a force to be reckoned with on the international yachting scene. The launch ceremony a private event attended by the owner and his family, included the traditional blessing of the yacht, marking a highly symbolic moment for the whole team at the shipyard. Designed by HydroTec the Seamore 34 marks the launch of what is the debut of a semi-custom line for Antonini Navi, which will show the approach to design and build a robust and well-engineered steel and aluminium platform developed to offer new customers broad freedom in terms of customisation and configuration. The project concept was developed by Antonini Navi, while the interiors of this first unit, but also the second hull are by Hot Lab. A distinctive feature of the boat is the layout, which prioritises continuity between indoor and outdoor spaces. On the main deck, over 150 square metres of living space stretch seamlessly from stern to bow, with large sliding glass panels used to adapt the spaces as required. There are also about 160 square metres of outdoor space on the upper deck, designed to provide an active and convivial experience on board. The interiors feature a design language that skilfully combines classic and contemporary elements, creating an elegant but understated setting. The palette of materials is made up of fine finishing's featuring ribbed textures, antiqued glass surfaces and panelling lacquered in pastel colours, chosen to modulate the light and amplify the sense of space. The interplay between materials, colours and finishes creates a consistent and harmonious whole, in which every element contributes to a relaxed and sophisticated mood, perfectly in tune with the maritime setting and a casual yet sophisticated lifestyle on board.

Project: Apreamare Gozzo 42

Apreamare presents the Gozzo 42 project, moving forward the stylistic and design evolution of the Gozzo line.  The Gozzo 42 is not just an expansion of the range, but brings a natural evolution of Apreamare design language as desired by Cataldo Aprea who again asked Marco Casali of Too Design the designer of the all the current Gozzo range, and Umberto Tagliavini of Marine Design who design and engineer this new model. The result is that the Gozzo 42 is a perfectly balanced take on the Apreamare identity: respect for tradition, build quality and functional innovation devised for the contemporary owner.  Stylistically speaking, the Gozzo 42 introduces a new sportier and more modern look; the hull, deckhouse and windows have been completely redesigned to create a more dynamic silhouette, without affecting the family feeling that has made the Gozzo range immediately recognisable in the yachting scene.  The distinctive features of theGozzo 42 include the sleek hardtop, now designed to be fitted with the optional glass windscreen in a solution that increases cruising comfort in all conditions. The helm station also has a more sculpted design, with a more ergonomic layout and optional air conditioning for maximum driving comfort.  Special attention was also given during the design process to technical and functional aspects: new air inlets integrated into the hull improve cooling in the engine room, which has a large electrically operated door to facilitate access for maintenance. A technical compartment in the stern houses the mooring gear.  In true Apreamare tradition, the new Gozzo 42 stands out for its exceptional onboard liveability, among the best in its category. The cockpit features a large two meters long sun-pad in the stern, positioned next to a generous C-shaped sofa that can comfortably seat up to eight people. A second area for socialising, in the bow, features a sun-pad and facing sofas, designed for a totally relaxing and private sea experience. Both the cockpit and the sun-pad in the bow can be effectively shaded by awnings attached to the T-Top structure and supported by carbon fibre poles, improving onboard comfort during the hottest time of day.  The wet bar is fully customised to suit the owner’s preferences and can be fitted with two 85-litre refrigerators, an ice maker and a barbecue, grill or induction hobs, as well as a spacious compartment for tableware. Completing the outdoor experience is the almost six-square-metre stern platform featuring a retractable swim ladder and a tender lift system.  The interiors are designed to offer comfort and bright spaces, with a master cabin part of an open-plan layout that can be separated completely from the living area by a door ensuring complete privacy for the owner. An optional second separate cabin can specified at midships, with two single beds and storage units along the wall. The entire sleeping area is flooded with light that pours in through the new hull and deck windows.  In terms of performance at sea, the Gozzo 42 lives up to the high standards set by all Apreamare boats, with a the variable-geometry hull with skegs designed for either a conventional in-line shaft drive or a Volvo Penta IPS system.  The Apreamare Gozzo 42 is powered by Volvo 380 or 480hp with line line shaft or IPS pod drives.  Top speeds are 27 knots for Volvo 380hp and line shaft propulsion, and go up to 36 knots with twin Volvo 480hp with IPS pod propulsion.
