Project: Nimbus 495 Coupe

During the 2026 Dusseldorf boat show, Nimbus announced the 495 Coupe project, a showing to its roots for the hard-top cruiser which defined the Swedish boat builder into its expansive story. Coupé has been with Nimbus since 1968 as it presented the 26 model in that year, a type of sport cruiser which was born with that concept, and Nimbus always evolved it in nearly sixty years of boat building success.  Even when open boats were in huge demand Nimbus recognized the Coupe hard-top boat perfection for the Northern climates, which defined its success; protected when conditions demand it, open when the weather allows. The 495 Coupé,  based on the 495 Flybridge platform which arrived in 2024, is the largest expression of this philosophy: designed for extended life aboard without the need for crew. You lose the flybridge and for this the 495 Coupe gains a large skylight, electric soft top for sun protection, and a air draft of under 3.5 metres, suited for those who want to boat in the inland waterways of Northern Europe.

Project: Heesen 72m Project Ananda

Heesen present Project Ananda, a 72 meters project.  To be build on a smart custom platform Project Ananda also represents the largest steel build to date by Heesen and is developed in collaboration with Sinot Yachts, with this build also showing a new strategic direction from the Dutch super yacht builder. At 72 metres, Project Ananda marks a significant step forward in Heesen’s engineering capabilities, pushing the boundaries of speculation-built yachts while reinforcing the shipyard’s focus on owner and guest wellbeing, exceptional build quality, and unparalleled seakeeping. The project reflects a highly client-focused approach to yacht building, with flexibility and personalisation embedded throughout the design. The name Ananda meaning “inner joy”, encapsulates the philosophy behind the yacht’s onboard experience. A highly collaborative process between Sinot and Heesen’s in-house engineering  ensures the exterior design could be realised without compromise. This integrated approach aligns design intent with technical feasibility, maintaining consistency from concept through to construction. The result is a yacht that retains Heesen’s characteristic sleek profile, interpreted through a softer, more organic design language. Built on an ultra-efficient steel hull, Project Ananda combines proven Dutch shipbuilding expertise with advanced performance. Tank testing at the University of Southampton’s Wolfson Unit successfully validated resistance, trim, heave, and wave response. The hybrid propulsion system incorporates twin MTU engines and PTI/PTO gearboxes, delivering a range of 5,000 nautical miles at twelve knots and a maximum speed up to sixteen knots. Guest arrival has been carefully considered as part of the overall onboard experience. A midships shell door opens onto a docking platform leading directly to a central glass elevator. This arrangement transforms a functional operational feature into a ceremonial arrival experience, allowing guests to bypass social areas and access their quarters with complete privacy. Spread across five decks, the general arrangement prioritises fluid movement and layered privacy. The layout remains highly adaptable, with two configurable Owner’s Deck arrangements allowing the owner to choose between a forward-facing private deck or an aft-focused deck experience. Both Owner’s Deck concepts serve as blank canvases, enabling clients to incorporate highly specific lifestyle requirements. Conceived as an apartment-like environment, the master suite on the foredeck features a private office and extensive panoramic sightlines. A second master suite on the Bridge Deck mirrors the scale and comfort of the primary stateroom, removing traditional hierarchies while offering flexibility for charter operations or multi-generational family use. All interior spaces will be crafted in-house at Heesen Interiors in Winterswijk. Operating its own luxury interior company provides Heesen with a strategic advantage, ensuring complete control over execution while guaranteeing impeccable Northern European quality. Among Ananda’s standout features is the travertine-clad swimming pool area connected directly to a Teppanyaki-style bar within the main lounge. Rather than using traditional teak decking, Heesen selected travertine flooring that extends seamlessly from the outdoor pool area into the fully openable indoor lounge, creating a refined indoor-outdoor living experience. The deck space is entirely flush and free from visible mooring equipment, creating a serene environment that can easily transform into an entertainment and party deck. The midship spa and beach club spans approximately 100 square metres, offering an unrivalled wellness experience complete with a sauna, steam room, ice bath, snow shower, hyperbaric chamber, massage and medical treatment room, and bar. Developed in collaboration with Heesen’s Human Health Engineering department, the space delivers a uniquely integrated wellbeing experience. Project Ananda is scheduled for keel laying in November 2026, with launch and delivery anticipated for 2030.

New Model: Numarine 27XP

Numarine, the Turkish yacht builder renowned for its long-range explorer yachts, has delivered the first unit of its all-new 27XP model. Following the project unveiling at last year's Cannes Yachting Festival, the 27XP has already generated strong interest, with five hulls sold and three currently under construction. The second and third units are scheduled for delivery in the coming months. The owner of the first hull is a repeat Numarine client upgrading from a 22XP, a reflection of the loyalty the XP range has built among experienced owners seeking greater volume and cruising capability without the complexity of a significantly larger yacht. Delivered in Istanbul, the yacht is expected to spend much of her time cruising the Greek islands and wider Aegean region. The 27XP is the natural evolution of the highly successful 26XP platform, of which thirty hulls are currently cruising worldwide, developed through years of feedback from owners and captains. The result is a larger, more capable explorer yacht with increased interior volume, expanded outdoor living and enhanced onboard functionality while preserving the core characteristics that made the XP Series so successful. The first hull has been delivered in the four cabins layout, prioritising a full beam flybridge and expanded exterior living spaces. A five cabin version is also available for owners with different cruising requirements.  Designed inside and out by Can Yalman, with naval architecture by Umberto Tagliavini, the 27XP retains the sharp, purposeful profile of Numarine's explorer range while introducing a more open onboard experience. Oversized windows maximise natural light throughout, a sliding glass door  off the main salon dissolves the boundary between interior and cockpit, and the flybridge is among the largest in its class.  The 27XP introduces Numarine's new Mk2 Super Silent Pack, developed in partnership with Sleipner. Built around a 48 volt energy architecture and integrated Hybrid Power Center, the system combines a 92.8 kWh Lithium Iron Phosphate battery bank with 5.6 kW of solar generation, shore power input and intelligent load management. Operating at higher voltage improves efficiency across all onboard systems, reduces energy losses and enables quieter, more stable electrical performance throughout the yacht.  Powered by twin MAN 560 engines, the 27XP offers a top speed up to thirteen knots, a cruising speed of ten and a transoceanic range of 2,200 nautical miles at eight knots .  The 27XP will make her world premiere at the Cannes Yachting Festival 2026
