New Model: Baglietto DOM 115

Baglietto has launched the first unit of the DOM 115.  Presented as project in April 2023 during a private ceremony, the DOM 115 is a smaller version of the DOM 133.  Not your typical Baglietto looking, and more a volume space searching look the DOM line is proving to be a big winner for Baglietto, and following the only one made DOM 123, the DOM 133 has been a huge success with ten hulls sold of the forty meter.  To put this into perspective the DOM 133 is to date the most sold Baglietto above 24 meters ever made.  The DOM 115 has also started on a flying start strong, with two other hulls under construction, one of which being made in speculation.

Two Crew Injured as Classic Super Yacht Goes Ablaze in St. Tropez

Two crew were injured as the classic 41 meter super yacht m/y Sea Lady II under Valletta, Malta flag went ablaze in a high peak St. Tropez marina, in the South of France at 20:00 of Thursday tenth July.  The fire started at the raised pilot house on the top deck, and then spread to the yachts main deck, as the VAR fire department intervened to fight the blaze.  The fire fighting course of action was to remove nearby yachts, with St. Tropez being one of the Mediterranean's most busy marina's, and then fight the fire.  The blaze was extinguished by midnight, although fire fighters still had problems boarding the yacht, with this listing to its port side and taking on water.  The two crew suffered smoke inhalation, with no other injuries reported.  The cause of the fire, as the number of people onboard at the time of the fire was not reported.

M/y Sea Lady II previously named D'Angleterre II is a W.A. Souter and Sons 41 meter, build in 1986 at Cowes on the Isle of Wight to a design of Don Shead.  Sea Lady II was refitted last year in 2024, and is the largest of four Souter super yachts, all build between 1984 to 1986.  W.A.

Project: Azimut Grande 25M

Azimut present the project for a new Grande 25M.  Designed by Alberto Mancini with interiors by Yachtique, the Grande 25M is set to be the entry level for Azimut's Grande super yacht line which goes up to 44 meters.  For the Grande 25M Alberto Mancini followed looks more similar to the smaller Fly range then the large Grande models.  In many ways the Grande 25M is a classic motor yacht for this size, looking nimble and sporty, with a clean profile, and no full body to add volume inside and or a midships stateroom on the fore deck.  That is not to say the Grande 25M will not be a space searching exercise, she is in the end an Azimut, and this comes without asking, albeit here it is conservative, then some of the Grande's which came in recent years like the 26M.  The Grande 25M will also come with a couple of choices for the flybridge available in Lounge or Pool versions, and the main deck in Lounge or Dining layouts.  The lower deck is standard with a four double suite cabins layout, and two crew cabins aft sleeping three.  The Azimut Grande 25M is to be powered by twin Man 1800hp for top speeds up to thirty knots.

Albert Hakvoort 1940 - 2021

Albert Hakvoort, who spent more than six decades at his family-run Hakvoort Shipyards, has died on fifteen March. Often referred to as Albert Sr. due to multiple generations bearing the same name, he was eighty years old.  Born in 1940, Albert Sr. was actually a junior, since his father, Albert Hakvoort, started the shipyard in 1919. Indeed, the narrow streets where the shipyard sits today, in Monnickendam, The Netherlands, are much the same as when a young Albert Sr. joined the family business in 1955.  It was a challenging time for Hakvoort Shipyards, as in that year a fire having destroyed two sheds, adjacent homes and boats in the area. However, the family rebuilt the facility, simultaneously steadily building a reputation for steel hulls for the local fishing fleets. With his brother Klaas, Albert Sr. entered Hakvoort into yacht construction in the 1980s, debuting first with the Striker semi-production sportfish series, of which fourteen were build from seventeen to 21 meters, all sold in North America and build from 1980 to 1988.  In between the Striker's Hakvoort will deliver its first custom 31 meter super yacht, which was followed by a forty meter a year later.  Albert Sr. will hand over the helm of the shipyard in 2014, although he remained a familiar face in the offices and sheds of Hakvoort often visiting with his Cadillac car or his Harley Davidson motor cycle.

Designed by Dixon for both naval architecture and lines, the Beneteau Swift Trawler 37 comes as a replacement to the 34, replacing the model as the entry level to the explorer semi-planning cruisers series of the French builder. For the Swift Trawler 37, Dixon presented an eye catching design bring in features from the larger Grand Trawler 62 model, like the wood inserts in the top deck profile, and forward raked forward windshield, and a soft use of asymmetry, where the flybridge is extended and the side deck is all deep to the starboard side. For the Swift Trawler 37 Fly with flybridge configuration, the raised helm position is located to starboard, with a social u-shaped settee opposite this also featuring a forward-adaptive backrest, table and built-in cool-box. For the interior the Swift Trawler 37 welcomes you inside with complimentary u-shaped galley and sofa creating the sense of space. This is supported by significant storage options and a large fridge & freezer option. The sofa quickly converts into a double bunk with privacy curtain. Alongside the help, we have introduced an innovative lift-up table that smartly converts into a comfy work station.

The Beneteau Swift Trawler 37 Sedan is all but identical to the 37 Fly, with the difference that you have no fly bridge up top.  Still Beneteau has put this area to good use, introducing the concept of adaptive floorspace. Where can set up this space to suit your needs.  The open platform, accessed via the inbuilt stair unit, can easily accommodate sun loungers, shading and tables for the ideal socialising space. Or for those families with an abundance of gear and toys for water and land activities, can be used as an easily accessible storage area.  The Beneteau Swift Trawler 37 also comes with a few options, from the optional Electric Skylights to the Silent Boat option, which adds solar panels for clean energy.  The Beneteau Swift Trawler 37 is to be powered by twin 220hp engines with line shaft propulsion.

New Launch: Delta Marine 110

It has been anything but quiet at Delta Marine, the Seattle-based shipyard where exclusivity and confidentiality are pillars of the signature custom yacht building experience, and the buzz of innovation and creativity abounds.  As such, Delta is delighted to announce that it recently launched a new 110 super yacht, which is currently finalizing its construction phases. Developed in response to changing market dynamics, particularly in the 33 to forty meters range, the new Delta Marina 110 features a new hull platform designed for long-range efficiency and the capability for speed. Once inside, owners and guests will be transported into a world sophisticated and soothing. Transcendent colours of sand and sea will cast a captivating spa-like spell rich with comfort and texture. An elegant play of ivories and Mediterranean blue fabrics will surround rich warm oak woodwork that extends seamlessly throughout her interiors, featuring espresso wenge accents and sleek minimalist metalwork. She’ll deliver timeless comfort with the perfect complement of understated luxury. Within a seven meters beam, the Delta Marine 110 arrangement is optimized for owner operation and family adventures. The spacious interior features a main salon with U- shaped seating aft of the dining salon accommodating up to ten guests. A large galley forward can be enclosed and separated from the guest spaces and will offer a country kitchen dinette for intimate and casual gatherings, as well as a center island with bar seating. Eight guests are accommodated in four lower-deck ensuite cabins that comprise a full-beam master stateroom, mirrored convertible twin cabins, and a VIP suite in the bow. Crew accommodations for two are located aft. Walkaround side decks with control stations further lend to the ease of operation, which the owners will enjoy from the pilothouse with its twin helm seating and convertible dinette/ berth. The spacious aft deck offers prime vistas to enjoy the scenery with dining for ten, while additional seating and a full bar are situated on the bridge deck aft in a semi-enclosed space that can be thoughtfully shaded with retractable sun awnings. Appealing to avid boaters with a love for all waterborne activities, the yacht will feature a convenient beach garage for toy and gear storage as well as an articulating swim platform equipped with a Hydromar transformer sea stairs unit. The owners specified a custom aluminium tender to be stowed on the boat deck and launched by a special davit. Another brilliant feature is the yacht’s anchoring system, for which Delta partnered with the anchor manufacturer to design a hidden flush-mounted anchor in the stem of the vessel. The new double chine semi-displacement hull form is a significant build in that it is the first new hull design for Delta solely tested through Computational Fluid Dynamics analysis. It is also Delta’s first project that will meet full IMO III and EPA Tier 4 recognition, which facilitated the installation of the newest approved gas exhaust systems on the main engines. While the new hull form is designed for modest efficient cruising speeds of 12 to 14 knots —affording a longer range—the yacht is also capable of cruising much faster when necessary. The hull shape, coupled with twin MTU 2600hp each, allows the yacht to achieve an impressive top-end speed of 27 knots.
