New Model: Regal 34 SAV

During the 2026 Miami boat show Regal presented the new 34 SAV, what many considered the boat of the show.  A replacement to the 33 SAV which has been produced since 2018, the 34 SAV features Regal latest gizmos; drop-down balconies, optional more sport-fishing features, and a lower deck with sleeping accommodation for four.  The sleeping accommodation for four is an important detail of the 34 SAV, as it is unheard in walk-around center-console cruisers of ten meters in length, and while the 33 SAV offered this it was in reality more a sport cruiser with walk-around features then this new 34 is.  Competition with such features are also unheard and those with similar decks to the 34 SAV like the Boston Whaler 350 Realm, new Intrepid 35 Panacea, and Tiara LS34 only offer cabin sleeping accommodation for two.  For a walk-around-cruiser sleeping four the Italian Fiart Seawalker 35 is probably the only option.  The sportfish part sees Regal latest trend on its latest SAV and LX models added if one wants with fishing options in the Fish Package.  The Regal 34 SAV is powered by twin Yamaha 350hp or Mercury 425hp for top speeds up to 45 knots from the large engines.

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.

Two Persons Saved as Boat Goes Ablaze Near Marzamemi, Sicily

A seven meter Bayliner sportfish cruiser with two persons onboard went ablaze about one nautical offshore to Sanlorenzo near Marzamemi, to the East of Sicily just after 12:30 of Saturday 25 April.  Seeing the fire the two persons onboard jumped in the water and were saved by a beach-guard who came to the rescue with a paddle boat as he saw the blaze from the beach.  The Guardia di Finanza and Guardia Costiera followed to the assistance later with the V854 and CP 763 boats respectively.  Ultimately the boat was wrecked from the blaze and sunk.  The two persons were assisted by the 118 emergency crew who were taken to the Di Maria hospital of Avola for a check.  The cause of the fire is not reported.
