Projects: Sunseeker 74 Ocean, Sunseeker 74 Ocean Enclosed

Although presenting itself with no novelties at the 2025 Cannes boat show, Sunseeker showed its future plans, and presented the next model to the Ocean range with the introduction of the 74 Ocean.  The 74 Ocean is the third model of the cross-over explorer yacht Ocean series, which debuted with the 90 Ocean in 2021.  The first and to date largest model of Sunseeker Ocean series has been a success with 34 units delivered so far, and was followed in 2024 with the 82 Ocean Enclosed, so it is understandable to see Sunseeker expand the range further  with the 74 Ocean project.  Unlike its bigger sisters the new 74 Ocean comes with new features not found in its larger sisters.  The most important is that the 74 Ocean is to have fold-down balconies which expand the large aft bathing platform to a larger beach area with seamless connection to the sea, while the second is that it will be powered by Volvo 900 or 1000hp engines with IPS pod propulsion.  For the remaining the Sunseeker 74 Ocean brings the features of the larger Ocean 82 and 90 in a more compact size, from the expansive and deep bathing platform, uninterrupted living main deck with large galley dinning, and relaxing lounge fore deck all serviced by ceiling to floor windows, and one of the largest flybridge in the category.  Below deck, the 74 Ocean reveals a full-beam master cabin complete with a private en-suite, with three further guest cabins, each with their own en-suite, including the choice to have a VIP suite forward with it private deck. Dedicated crew accommodation for two, with discreet access from the side decks and direct entry to the engine room, preserves guest privacy on every voyage. A crew cabin for two is located at midships in between the master and engine room.

The Sunseeker 74 Ocean Enclosed will be near identical to the open bridge sister, with the difference of a part wide body enclosed climate controlled raised bridge.  This version offers a comfortable alternative second enclosed social space separate from the main deck entertaining areas, which can also be spec'd with the optional glazed opening roof that allows an open-air atmosphere.  The 74 Ocean Enclosed flybridge offers a free aft deck space, with the inside featuring an L-shaped saloon with desk unit opposite, dual seat helm station to starboard, with dual port and starboard doors leading you to a forward located sun-pad.  Designed for the exterior inhouse, the Sunseeker 74 Ocean features interior by Design Unlimited, who bring the latest in contemporary finishes and fabrics.

Project: Manda Yachts S05.3

Following the debut of the S05 in 2023, Manda Yachts presents the model evolution with the S05.3.  Designed by Ceccarelli the Manda S05.3 is a natural evolution of the S5, with some important changes.  The T-Top hard top has now a full integrated forward windshield, with the hull glazing now also extended in size, and a larger extended bathing platform.  For the remaining and the most part Manda S05.3 builds on the previous model features, from the large aft deck served by the lower deck saloon, and a main deck which integrates pilot house, a second galley, dinette and a fore-deck sun-pad.  As accommodation the Manda S05.3 offers a two cabins two heads layout, with a master room forward, served by an en-suite head to port side.  The Manda Yachts S05.3 is powered by twin Volvo 480hp as standard or optional 600hp engines, both of which IPS forward looking pod drives powered.

Project: Absolute Navetta 66

Absolute present the Navetta 66 project, an evolution and replacement to the Navetta 64 which debuted in 2021.  As major differences the Navetta 66 will add a larger cockpit with the open veranda layout which has proven to be such a success for the Absolute since it introduced this concept on the 60 Fly in 2021, that most other builders have copied this feature since then.  In the Navetta 66 adds a special feature of offering an aft guest suite with direct access to the bathing platform.  How is that for a privileged spot for a special guest.  Probably some owners, might also trade this for the larger owners suite forward.  The Navetta 66 is a four guest cabin boat; owners cabin forward, VIP suite to midships portside, double guest cabin to starboard, and the previously mentioned guest suite aft.  A crew cabin is located to starboard at midships, with entry the starboard side-deck.  The Absolute Navetta 66 offers an astern galley layout, with a dining table for eight opposite the galley, and a relaxing L-shaped sofa, while forward and two steps up is a the central helm station.  The flybridge of the Navetta 66 is huge, and is one of the three exterior entertainment areas which offer dining and lounging seating, the other two located forward and the ever existing aft deck.  The Absolute Navetta 66 is to be powered by twin Volvo 900hp as standard or optional 1000hp.

Project: Beneteau Grand Trawler 63

Beneteau present the project for the Grand Trawler 63.  The Grand Trawler 63 is very much based on the 2022 to 2024 produced Grand Trawler 62 as designed by Massimo Gino from Nauta and naval architecture by Angelo Micado of Micad and produced in 27 units.  The noticeable difference of the Swift Trawler range flagship are the new larger hull glazing serving the cabins on the lower deck. But other comfort and technical updates have been made for this new Grand Trawler; from a redesigned helm station, improved sound proofing in the crew cabin, and a transition from hydraulic to the Xenta electronic system.  For the remaining the Grand Trawler 63 keeps the 62 features from a choice of three or four double cabins, and a full displacement hull which has a range up to 900 nautical miles at nine knots.

New Model: Steeler Ocean Explorer 22M

Steeler Yachts proudly announces the successful maiden voyage of the Ocean Explorer 22M, marking the beginning of a new chapter for an experienced world traveler. The yacht, christened Two Bubbles, departed on her first sea trial on the North Sea, demonstrating the performance, safety, and comfort that have become the hallmarks of the Steeler brand. Commissioned by an owner who has crossed all the world’s oceans aboard sailing yachts, Two Bubbles is the result of decades of seafaring experience translated into a fully custom steel explorer. For Steeler Yachts, working with such a knowledgeable client has been both an inspiration and a privilege.

After a meticulous two-year build process, the end result has exceeded expectations - so much so that the owners, like many before them, have evolved from clients into passionate ambassadors for the Steeler brand. Constructed with a robust steel hull and lightweight aluminium superstructure, Two Bubbles is built for serious passagemaking, including her planned transatlantic journey. With a cruising speed of ten knots and a top speed of thirteen, she delivers both range and efficiency. Her Awl Grip paint system provides enduring protection and an industry-leading gloss rate exceeding 95%, setting a superyacht standard that Steeler consistently strives for. The interior of the Ocean Explorer 22M is fully bespoke, from layout and cabinetry to materials, finishes, and accessories. Every detail has been tailored to reflect the owners' lifestyle, taste, and extensive knowledge of life at sea. Since launching the Ocean Explorer 22M platform, Steeler Yachts has secured orders for three additional Ocean Explorers: two 26-meter and one 21-meter models. The demand for custom, ocean-capable motoryachts under 100 feet continues to grow, driven by a discerning group of owners who value freedom, design, safety, and individuality over size alone.

New Model: Pardo Endurance 72

Pardo finally reveal the Endurance 72 in its entirety, following its secret cameo at the end of Summer 2024. The first Pardo Endurance 72 played a prestigious role this summer in Barcelona, as it served as the hospitality yacht for Luna Rossa Prada Pirelli during the 37th America's Cup. Now the first Pardo Endurance 72 is completed and set to debut at the 2025 Palm Beach boat show coming March. An inhouse design for concept and exterior, with interiors by BurdissoCaponni, and naval architecture by Davide Leone, the Endurance 72 sports similar lines to the four meters smaller E60, a cross over yacht, which with the additional length looks sporty as it can. It is probably the sportier explorer cross-over yacht I know, and if you like car genre mirrors the Pardo Endurance 72 has a sporty SUV feel to it.  The Pardo Endurance 72 features a kitchen living dining on the main deck, and four cabins below layout.  The main deck has a stern galley to port side with opposite dinette, and a relaxing saloon forward to starboard, with helm station to port side.  This area has also a complete connection with the exterior area thanks to full sized floor to roof windows, with the one to starboard serving the dinette offering an unobstructed view on the water when the drop down balcony is lowered.  The guest lower deck cabin area is split in two separate areas, VIP and owners staterooms at midships with a dedicated staircase from midships and the two guest cabins forward.  A day head is also located half way in the stairs to the midships cabin area, serving guests daily duties.  The Endurance 72 offers spacious exterior spaces with the model even challenging Pardo's one meter larger more sporty GT75 flagship, with the jolly of a flybridge up top, this with an aft sun-pad, L-shaped dinette to port side with grill wet-bar opposite, and a dual seat helm station.  A unique feature as explorer spaces go is also the aft sun-pad on the main deck, which is something most cross-over explorer yachts do not have.  The Pardo Endurance 72 is powered by standard Volvo 800hp and or optional 1000hp, with a warped hull shape which decreases its deadrise aft in order to make slower cruising speed more comfortable and efficient.

Project: Sirena 60

Sirena Yachts has announced details of a new 60 project at the boot Düsseldorf 2025. The Turkish yacht builder unveiled the new Sirena 60 project, a replacement to the 58 with the promise of even more space for lounging, better storage and a stunning modern aesthetic. The new 60 carries all the distinctive features that have made Sirena such a global success, from flexible accommodation to fantastic exterior spaces, with the contemporary lines drawn by German Frers, the designer of all Sirena yachts thus far who brings the familiar plumb bow, long bathing platform and the contrast between large areas of dark glass and gleaming white topsides. But the 60 is a considerable evolution compared to the previous Sirena 58, which starts at the stern, where a new transom profile creates more space on the platform and gives it a more modern look. Rope storage lockers on either side of the newly modelled stern seat are bigger, and there are larger openings in the bulwarks for access to the dock. The main saloon windows are also bigger. Up at the bow, the foredeck lounge has been completely redesigned. Not only is it all bang on trend, with dark grey upholstery and a smart floating backrest, it features a much larger seat and a folding table. The matching sunpad also has a convertible backrest which allows it to serve as comfortable seating when you want to dine al fresco. Even the flybridge which is the Sirena 58’s most iconic features has been improved. The dashboard and the pilot seats have been redesigned to look more modern. A slick new Corian worktop has been introduced in the bar unit, and the sun-pad has also been endowed with a new convertible headrest. It all combines to make this shaded spot the pick of the yacht’s exterior social spaces. Smarter use of space has allowed the design team to devote more interior volume to key lifestyle features of the Sirena 60. Entering through the broad sliding aft doors, you will encounter the galley first of all, which has grown nearly 20 per cent in area to five square metres. This equates to bigger work surfaces and even better storage for food and crockery in new raised cabinets, with the option of a wine cooler being available. Further forward, the indoor helm station has also had a revamp, with a new ergonomic designed pilot seats hug your back for long hours of comfortable driving, while a smart pantograph door gives quick access out onto the side deck for more relaxed mooring manoeuvres. The stairs below have been remodelled to take up less space and improve access below. As with the Sirena 58 before it, the basic configuration remains for three large cabins. These include a breath taking full-beam master amidships and a spacious VIP double forward, as well as a more flexible third cabin. Here, a sliding bed system can transform from a generous double to twin singles, depending on whether it’s for children, friends or a couple. There’s also more storage space here and in the VIP cabin. Eliminating the rounded edges that characterised the walls of the previous model has also freed up more space. All three cabins have always been en-suite, but the new configuration has allowed designers to separate the heads from the shower areas. And the detailing has been given an uplift with new alcoves and niches in Corian. There’s even room for a washer-dryer below the companionway. Individually, each of these changes represents a small evolutionary step for Sirena, which taken together, they amount to nothing short of transformative. Construction on the Sirena 60 is well under way in Turkey, with hull and deck moulding complete and in outfitting stage, and the first unit expected to launch in July, for a World debut to come at the Cannes Yachting Festival in September 2025.

For the Swift Trawler 54 Andreani presents a gentle “S” shearline lines that rises towards the bow giving the hull a purposeful timeless stance, with a clean low profile flybridge above, and full around forward raked glass superstructure which gives an overall lightness. With the Swift Trawler 54, Beneteau brings unrivalled outdoor living space, breaking the mould for explorer type yachts of this size. Thus the Swift Trawler 54 offers a spacious cockpit and flybridge, and foredeck dinette, all finished with soft seating and luxury touches and a terrace to the sea. The stern area also boasts a hydraulic tender lift swim platform, ample storage for kayaks and paddleboards. The foredeck dinette has a U-shaped seating area with an inset table which converts into a huge sun-pad, with dedicated fender stowage underneath. Inside the Beneteau Swift Trawler 54 presents itself as a family water home with the opportunity to enjoy efficient long-range cruising in an elegant and cosy atmosphere amidst ultimate comfort, with a visually stunning interior environment boasting a well-appointed central located galley with a raised dinette, a large saloon and an internal flybridge stairway. Down below the Swift Trawler 54 offers six berths in three cabins, with a full beam owners stateroom at midships, and the option for an additional single crew berth aft. Interior finishing options are for Alip Teak or Alpi Oak wood finishes.  The Beneteau Swift Trawler 54 is powered by twin Cummins 550hp with line shaft propulsion for speeds up to twenty knots, a cruise of twelve, and a long range nine knots for a range up to seven hundred nautical miles.  The Swift Trawler 54 is also offered with the Silent Boat Pack, which has a T-Top on the flybridge and features eighteen solar panels and ten lithium batteries for a generator less autonomy up to ten hours.
