Project: North Pacific 59 Pilothouse

North Pacific is pleased to introduce the 59 Pilothouse, a project for a new flagship which extends its size by ten feet from its current 49 feet largest model. An explorer yacht of eighteen meters in length, the North Pacific 59 Pilothouse presents itself with a blend of modern and classic lines. Designed on the same proven principles as other North Pacific models, the 59 Pilothouse will offers large interior volumes to what its eighteen meter size will make you believe. The North Pacific 59 Pilothouse layout offers three double cabins, with two en-suite heads serving midships stateroom, and forward Vip room. An usual but great feature on yacht of eighteen meter will be for a day head located on the main deck. A crew cabin berth will be located aft. North Pacific says that flexible custom options will allow each owner to build a yacht that truly reflects their personality from traditional to ultra contemporary fittings.  The North Pacific 59 Custom is to be powered by twin Cummins 715hp engines with top speeds up to seventeen knots, and an economic long range cruise of ten.

New Model: Sirena 68

Sirena present the new 68, built on a hull that seamlessly marries efficiency and performance thanks to the innovative semi-displacement hull lines by German Frers that delivers comfortable cruising and world-class range at displacement speeds.  The salon welcomes those entering from the aft deck where a dining area and open-concept galley awaits them. Immediately noticeable is the play of light in this bright and dynamic space from the large windows that draw the eye to the ever-changing views.  Forward of the galley is a large U-shaped sofa where family and friends can congregate while sharing their time with an owner-operator who does not feel excluded from the company on board.  On the lower deck the master stateroom is amidships to take advantage of the full beam of almost six metres. Again, large hull windows admit plenty of natural light and the stateroom is served by a His-and-Hers head arrangement. The guest accommodation is completed with a twin single guest cabin and a VIP cabin in the bow, both with ensuite bathrooms.  On deck, the forward area has been arranged for sunbathing and a relaxed life at sea.  There is also an enclosed version of the ample bridge deck available for colder climates with direct access to the main saloon below.  Not forgetting the generous fly deck that is set up for relaxing and dining under the protective shade of the hard top. The interior design by Cor D Rover is available in three colour and material combinations.  The first unit is based on light honey-coloured wood and soft semi-gloss lacquer that together with the large windows for panoramic views provide a serene and elegant ambience. The bold dark wood and anthracite lacquer create a very masculine and energetic look. The finest white leathers and fabrics result in an interior that feels stylish, fresh and contemporary.  The general style of the new Sirena 68 is elegant and purposeful, the engineering platform is well tested, and hull form is sea kindly. The unprecedented sale of 20 units since the new model was announced is proof positive that Sirena’s customised approach to production boat building continues to be a hit with owners in the market for mid-size motor cruisers.

Project: Holterman X-treme 54

Holterman Shipyard in the Netherlands had unveiled the newest design of the X-treme 54. A smaller sibling of the X-treme 105, the 54 is also to be the entry level of this new modern looking explorer and super yacht range from Holterman designed by Dutch Bernd Weel.  After the big success from the X-treme 105 with unit one sold and currently under construction and nearly completed, Holterman pump up the X-treme range of models with an X-54 under construction.  The X-treme 54 is a smaller sibling of the 105, as is evident from the similar modern interior and sturdy exterior looks.  The X-treme yachts are defined by  their extreme capabilities, with the 54 being a result of craftsmanship, quality and exclusivity, making for a special explorer yacht. The X-treme 54 is to be equipped with two Volvo 175hp with estimated top speeds of ten knots, and a cruise of eight, this last delivering a range up to 2400 nautical miles.  The first X-treme 54 is on schedule to be delivered in the coming fall of 2021.

Project: Bering B72

Bering present the B72 project, an evolution of the 65 model, of which three units have been delivered and collectively sailed more than 100,000 nautical miles in all sea conditions. The steel-hulled B72 is based on the same technical platform and retains the rugged expedition-style lines, but Bering gathered feedback from the owners of the B65 and their captains in order to develop a new yacht that was bigger and better equipped with more comfort and storage space for supplies.  Although inspired by classic expedition vessels, the B72 is a thoroughly modern explorer. The bow has less overhang and the transom is close to vertical with a wide beach platform. The aluminium superstructure is purposeful and offers panoramic views through large windows.  The layout is on three deck levels. The main deck features a spacious salon, full-width galley and pilothouse on a raised level. Visually separated from the salon by steps, the well-equipped galley is a social centre on board, much as friends and family gather around the kitchen at home. There is a day head to port before entering the pilothouse protected from the elements by a windscreen of toughened 19mm-thick glass.  There are several options for the lower deck layout and guest accommodation. The standard layout has three guest cabins and a full-beam master suite forward. Optionally, the vessel can be reconfigured to a five or a six cabin layout with or without a crew cabin, the choice is completely up to the customer.  The boat deck, with room for one large or two smaller tenders and accompanying crane is divided from the social area and exterior helm station. In addition to the flybridge, the open-air areas include the aft cockpit with al fresco dining and a sun lounge on the foredeck.  The ocean-going B72 has a displacement of 118 tons with a fuel capacity of 18,200 litres. Powered by twin Cummins 327hp diesel engines she has a range of more than 5000 nm at a cruising speed of 7 knots.

Project: Nordhavn N71

The Nordhavn 71 is a brand new boat that will follow in the wake of the 80, providing her owners an elegant, modern, state-of-the-art passage-making explorer yacht. The N71 is a brand new hull, created especially for those who find themselves in the upper end of the mid-size range, who desire the aesthetic of one of Nordhavn’s larger yachts, but want the ability to manage without crew.  Indeed, with the first three hulls committed by former owners of Nordhavn 68 or 60 models, the N71 seems to be filling a void. Nordhavn co-owner and Chief of Design Jeff Leishman said the N71 is a modern response to the third generation Nordhavns that were built in the early 2000s. Styling, technology and creature comforts have all evolved since then. The Nordhavn 71 is available in two layouts: a three-stateroom layout with skylounge, or another that incorporates a fourth stateroom in place of the sky lounge. While decidedly smaller than the 80, the N71 mimics her twin model configuration, sleek lines and advanced level of engineering. She was designed with Nordhavn’s in-house Computational Fluid Dynamics program. As is the case with all long-range Nordhavns, she will have ocean-crossing capability and will be built to the strictest CE Certification standard for offshore use. The N71 benefits from more intuitive space planning, a stepped-up lighting schedule, a big dining room, spacious owners cabin and larger windows. She will also keep in step with newer Nordhavns being offered with a more complete spec, thus keeping costs and build time wrangled. The specification includes a credit for furniture so buyers can choose their own chairs, dining table, pillows and the like, resulting in a highly-individualized yacht.  She’ll be constructed by the craftsmen at the Ta Shing yard in Taiwan, where the 68 and 76 are built. Tooling is currently being fabricated and the first hull is expected to begin construction in January of 2022. The lead time of hull #1 will be 18 months but Leishman anticipates production will streamline down to 15 months with subsequent models.

New Model: Bering B77

The first Bering B77 explorer, was launched at the Bering Yachts facility in Turkey. This is the first of four launches in the Antalya Free Zone planned by Bering Yachts for 2021, including the launch of a Bering 70, Bering 92 and Bering 76 in the second half of the year. As a semi-custom project, the first B77 has been conceived as the perfect long-range voyager with enough power, supplies and entertainment for a family of intrepid travellers. Designed in-house by Bering, this steel-hulled yacht blends a classic exterior with the most up-to-date specifications. Inside, the three-decked Veronika is roomy enough to accommodate six guests and up to four crew, although she can also be sailed shorthanded. With a massive 170 GT of volume, she outperforms most other yacht brands below 24 metres. The launch of the heavy displacement B77 was facilitated by the brand new 560-tonne capacity travel lift provided by the Antalya Free Zone marina. The first Bering B77 will undergo sea trials before transferring to Australia to start high-latitude exploration cruising.

Project: Sirena 68

Sirena Yachts is proud to announce their all-new addition to the fleet, the Sirena 68 that will make her public debut at the 2021 Cannes Yachting Festival. The 68 is the direct result of Sirena’s response to its customers’ requests. The hull shape encapsulates a cavernous volume of space, allowing everyone onboard to get comfortable, but still be together. Like all Sirena’s, the 68 incorporates the innovative German Frers hull design which delivers world-class range by allowing displacement speeds for extended cruising. The saloon welcomes those entering from the aft deck where a dining area and open-concept galley awaits them. One will notice the play of light in this expansive space, as enormous panes of glass draw the eye to ever-changing views. On the lower deck the Sirena 68 offers three double cabins with a midships master stateroom stretches across the full beam, where a king-size berth welcomes the owner, a floating sensation is provided thanks to the unique inventive lighting design and to the large hull side windows admit natural light.  The Sirena 68 is standard powered by twin Volvo 900hp, with optional 1000hp and line shaft V-drive propulsion.  Top speed is 26 knots with standard power and two more knots with the optional units.  Range is up to 1200 nautical miles at a ten knots cruise.

New Model: Fiart Cetera 60

Cetera is a new brand founded by long standing Italian boat builder Fiart, who with its first 60 model look to re-invent interior spaces not by little.  Presented as a project in 2019, to a design of Francesco Guida, the Cetera 60 main difference comes from having its three cabins located on the main deck.  The layout of the Cetera 60 is unseen in yachts of this size, even in bigger 24 plus meters size who will have for example only an owners staterooms on the main deck.  The living on the Cetera 60 is located on the upper deck, with an internal stair case leading you to this area, featuring a dining, galley and pilot house area.  A relaxing saloon is located on the forward part of the main deck with excess to the fore-deck dinette.  Some might call it daring, others innovative but the Cetera 60 is something to ponder about, and it will be interesting to see if someone else will follow its solutions in the future.  In the meantime the Cetera 60 has arrived, and its use of spaces is something to talk about since possibly the Versilcraft Mystere of the seventies which had a full beam owners midships cabin in a size of just over fifteen meters.  That went unnoticed for over twenty years.

New Model: Absolute Navetta 64

The already-complete Navetta range has expanded with a tangible expression of generous and open-minded engineering. All of Absolute’s best features have been implemented as well as some amazing onboard innovations. The Navetta 64, The Absolute Pathfinder, like her siblings has the Navetta DNA and it easy to see why. The wide and uninterrupted side-glass window, which runs from the aft mirror to the windshield, outlines her exterior shapes. These are characterized by the significant enlargement of the bow windows and the opening of the side gunwales in the cockpit in the Beach Club version, the transom can be turned from a large storage space into an actual double cabin at the water’s surface sealed tight with a fully-glazed, certified watertight access door. Beach Club by day and VIP cabin with an en-suite head by night: this alchemy is made possible thanks to the placing of the crew cabin, with two berths directly accessible from the second starboard-side door.  Aboard the Navetta 64, all spaces are designed to offer the maximum enjoyment of each cabin, always panoramic and bright, thanks to unprecedented-sized windows. In addition, the spaces are furnished and refined with everything you need to feel just like at home, without any sacrifices. The flybridge has a far greater width than found on any other nineteen meter yacht. On the main deck, the salon is surrounded by frameless glass windows, offering breath-taking panoramas. The comfortable sofas, the large table, the entertainment area, and the galley easily connect to the cockpit. The entire main deck is overlooked by a raised helm and a massive windshield of over three meters, curved and frameless for absolute visibility. Below deck, the master cabin is placed in the bow with a king-size berth, large side windows, and a full-beam head. The VIP suite really stands out: its liveability is astounding and the materials selected are simply exquisite. Furthermore, the third cabin is a double stateroom with single beds. Absolute Navetta 64 is powered by twin Volvo 900hp and or optional 1000hp engines, with IPS pod drives.

Project: Nordhavn N625

Nordhavn Pacific Asian Enterprises, is excited to announce a new model addition in its line-up of passage-making yachts. The Nordhavn 625 will be a twist on the current Nordhavn 60 hull. What helps keep Nordhavn at the top of its game is the continual push to move its designs forward. We have seen this in the past with the N52 from the N47, the N60 and 63 from the N55, the N68 from the N64, the N76 from the N72, and the N96 from the 86. By refreshing existing hulls, it allows the company to efficiently introduce updated, modern offerings. The N625 will be a combination of what’s working incredibly well for Nordhavn right now: the new model is based on the very popular Nordhavn 60 and will employ some of the same bulk production techniques being used with the N41 and 51 builds. Despite a number of Nordhavn 60 orders on the books, Nordhavn co-owner and Chief of Design Jeff Leishman saw an opportunity to further improvise the model’s proven hull. It has sustained extraordinary success beginning with the Nordhavn 55, and is also used as the basis of the Nordhavn 63. More than 100 of the hull’s three iterations combined have been sold.  The result is a fresh, modern exterior that’s in keeping with the sleeker feel Leishman has been injecting into his latest models. The Nordhavn 625 will maintain the same footprint as the N60, but will also feel entirely different, said Leishman. As a result of his “cleaning up the lines”, the flybridge is slightly bigger, the windows in the cabins will be bigger, and some seating has been added to the foredeck. Like the N60 and N63 before her, the N625 will have three cabins, two below and one behind the wheelhouse. The N625 also takes a nod from the Turkish built N41 and N51 designs, utilizing a production boat-approach to ordering. She will have more equipment and features as standard which equates to a more resourceful buy. The spec won’t be as strict as her smaller sisters but certainly the boat won’t be as customizable as the 60 and 63. The boat will be built by Nordhavn’s partner factory, South Coast, at their brand new Taiwanese facility. South Coast, which also builds the N60, ventured into Taiwan in part to combat the Chinese tariff. The N625 will lay up in May, the first boat to be built at the Taiwan location. It is expected to complete by the end of 2021. Current availability is for hull number three.

Project: Azimut Magellano 66

With the recent debut of the 25Metri, followed by the announcement of the arrival of the 30Metri, the Magellano collection is enjoying a moment in the spotlight. They say good things come in threes, and indeed, the first unit of the new Magellano 66 will touch the water in Spring, and happily, that is just around the corner.  Like its bigger siblings, the new Magellano 66 manages to combine timelessness with modernity, and belongs to the carbon tech generation, but just what is it that makes this Navetta so special? If we had to choose just one element, it would most definitely be the internal layout, which, thanks to the boat’s generous dimensions, offers an extraordinary level of comfort and versatility.  The spacious day zone is designed to optimise onboard living, distributed over a single level, with vast windows creating an airy, light-filled environment.  Owners wanting to clearly delineate crew and guest areas can do so, no mean feat in a 66-footer. A sliding door separates the pilot station and galley from the salon, while access from the Main Deck to owner and guest accommodation is via a decentralised stairway, ensuring total independence and privacy.  On the lower deck, in addition to the owner’s suite and two guest cabins, there is a fourth cabin which can be fitted out as a storage area or with bunk beds.  Outside, there is also no shortage of space, and there is no better example of this than the impressively large flybridge, with a stern lounge area that can also incorporate an American bar.  Versatility is again to the fore with the cockpit, where the dining zone can be transformed into a spacious relaxation zone where the owner and guests can stretch out in the shade, just a few tantalising metres above the water.  The second-generation Dual Mode hulls delivers smooth cruising even in moderate seas, and outstanding stability whether you’re in displacement mode or steaming along at the maximum speed of 23 knots.  The Magellano 66 is powered by a pair of Man 850hp engines, is EC category class A and comes with an HTS declaration, attesting that it was designed to and meets rigorous High Technical Standards.

New Model: Bluegame BGX60

After the success and accolades of the BGX70, it was easy to see a follow up in smaller or bigger sizes from Bluegame.  In just one year Bluegame quickly follow the 70 with the BGX60, a two or three cabins explorer yacht in looks but not in substance, as the technical data below shows.  Not an explorer as a long range vessel, cause the Bluegame offers layout and looks of a tug boat, from its Portuguese bridge the living on the main deck around the pilot house, to its free empty stern area, to the rugged clean looks of the yacht.  The Bluegame BGX60 also shows its comfort inside on the lower deck with a living adjoining to the stern beach area, to a three interior layout choice; from two cabins, two cabins three heads, or a three cabins version.  A single berth crew cabin is located forward.  The Bluegame BGX60 is powered by standard Volvo 800hp, and or optional 900hp engines with IPS pod drives propulsion.

Project: Nordhavn 51

Pacific Asian Enterprises, is excited to announce a brand new design, the Nordhavn 51, which will follow closely in the wake of its smaller sister-ship, the N41. Inspired by the N41’s resounding success, the brand new Nordhavn 51 will mimic the same production-like structure, which places emphasis on a set, streamlined build order instead of individual customization.  The two-stateroom, two-head passage maker answers the calls from customers who are drawn to the N41 design but want more room, an additional head and a flybridge. The Nordhavn 51 will more closely resemble other long range cruising Nordhavns with her separated pilothouse, but her interior will mirror the finishes of the N41. She will be produced as a complete boat that includes stabilizers, bow thruster, and davit among other items as standard.  Powered by twin John Deere 160hp engines, the Nordhavn 51 will be a modern passagemaker to usher in the new decade with state-of-the-art technology at the engineering level and a contemporary design scheme. As is the case with the N41, the Nordhavn 51 will be CE Certified Category A for the most serious offshore use. Tooling for the N51 is underway and the first hull is expected to lay up in March. She will be built alongside the Nordhavn 41 at our partner factory in Turkey. Currently the first seven hulls have been reserved for purchase. Hull #1 is expected to finish in about 18 months.

Project: Alva Eco Cruise 50

Alva Yachts, the German shipyard of electrical floating solutions, takes another step forward and launches its first monohulled electric yacht, named Eco Cruise 50, a fifteen meter motor explorer yacht, specifically designed for electric propulsion, with a peculiar layout made to maximize space, and customized solutions with plenty of possibilities for the interiors. Alva Eco Cruise 50 has been designed by Henndesign to perfectly suit customers who like to cruise and explore while yachting. At 50 feet, it will be the smallest model in the Alva Yachts range, meant to reach new markets and especially a wider range of boaters.   The first key point of Eco Cruise 50 is of course the electric propulsion. Alva Yachts has already developed electric catamarans; Ocean Eco 60 and 90 are in construction, an electric-assisted sailing vessel Ocean Sail 82, and floating villas. The Eco Cruise 50 is a step further, as the electric powertrain is now taken onto a mono-hull yacht.  Once again and as for the other projects, Eco Cruise 50 is shaped around a solar and electric approach towards yachting: different to other yachts the technology is not an add-on but a central design feature. The most obvious characteristic that underlines this fact is the impressive roof line that creates a larger roof surface for solar panels. More solar panels are also housed in the overhang of the upper deck.  Eco Cruise 50f+ features 2 electric motors delivering 100 kw each, for a total output of 272hp. The power to supply the engines comes from a 50 kw generator and from solar glass tiles on the roof, and it is stored into a 140 or 240 kWh battery pack. The cleanest solution replaces the generator with a hydrogen fuel cell, and the normal fuel tank with hydrogen storage tanks. In this case the Eco Cruise 50 is 100% clean, as it can cruise without releasing any polluting emission and in total silence.  Alva Yachts has also considered seafarers who want more performance even from an electric yacht, and offers a Power Version of the Eco Cruise 50, named 50 HP, with two 230kW electric motors for a total of 625hp. In this case the maximum speed can reach 20 knots.  Alva Yachts and Henndesign have also given the Eco Cruise 50 a peculiar layout, made to maximize space and comfort.  A large beach club area, much more than a swim platform measuring 22 sqm, houses a sun pad but also holds the yacht's tender and a jet ski. From here, four steps down lead to the lower deck, while a starboard staircase take to the upper one.  The outside areas do not end in the ample beach club but continue upstairs with a raised and protected cockpit featuring a couch and two tables, and with two wide passageways that lead to the foredeck large sun pad.  The inner layout of Eco Cruise 50f+ can be chosen between different versions, with three or four cabins, for private use or for charter.  One solution features a wide and cozy galley, with dining table for 6 to 8 guests, on the lower deck. An aisle takes to the night accommodation, with two cabins and two bathrooms, while the bow houses the crew cabin with two bunks and a head. The crew quarters are accessible via a separate staircase from the helm station on the upper bridge; the helm station also has two side doors on the lateral decks. A fourth, large cabin is located on the upper deck just behind the pilothouse, and features a double bed, a large bathroom, and an office table / vanity corner. The raised position and the glazing on three sides offer a beautiful view on the horizon.  Another layout consists of just three cabins, all located on the lower deck, with three bathrooms, one is a day toilet as well. The master cabin is amidships, to port, and sports a bathroom with separate shower and WC, while the beautiful countertop with two sinks is in an open corner behind the bed, faced by a large closet and a sofa. Outside, to starboard, the large passageway hosts the main galley and a round table. In this case, the closed upper deck is a single, airy space: a lounge with wet bar, sofas and coffee table, and the helm station to fore with doors on the side passageways. Two staircases give access to the lower deck, one from the helm station and one from the beach area.  In any case, the interiors have been developed following a minimalist design and focusing on natural materials and lighting.
