New Model: Ferretti 940

The first unit of the brand new Ferretti Yachts 940 was launched last January fifteen at the Cattolica shipyard. The first Ferretti 940 will remain in Italian waters, testifying the strategic role of the domestic market for the Ferretti Group. The new Ferretti 940 is a replacement to the Zuccon designed 920 after the delivery of 38 units and a production run of seven years. The Ferretti 940 is a stylistic departure to the previous model, with Filippo Salvetti bringing the style of the 860 into this large unit, with floor-to-ceiling glazed surfaces being part of the design element of the main deck.  In substance though the 940 carries a lot of the outgoing 920 more then it wants you to see, see the broken S-shear line and the way the semi wide-body is integrated into the main deck. With a length overall of 28 meters, the Ferretti 940 offers a five-guest cabin layout, with the interiors designed by Ideaeitalia.  The first Ferretti 940 is furnished with freestanding furniture and offers incredible versatility of use. The glass parapet, establishes continuity with the stern platform, creating the perfect area for sharing experiences with family and friends. Once inside the almost thirty-square-metre salon, entered through large sliding glass doors, is decorated on this unit in the brand’s Classic mood, which taps into warm, earthy elements and is designed to bring the owner the pleasure of an elegant, inviting and uncluttered environment. The area contains a large living space, furnished on this first unit with an L-shaped sofa facing a storage unit and a sliding TV, plus a centrally positioned dining table seating eight. The hallway forward of the galley leads to the new Raised Pilot House, featuring a single-piece windscreen with no central pillar for better visibility. The main deck is also home to the full-beam owner’s suite, which takes full advantage of the widebody hull concept and, on this unit, features the use of prized Silver Roots marble for the desktop on the starboard side, on the forward wall behind the sofa, and in the bathroom; the full-beam bathroom is in the bow. The extensive glazing is a striking new feature, including a floor-to-ceiling window in the dining area that floods the space with natural light, thanks in part to an external parapet designed so that it doesn’t obstruct the view. In this first unit, the floor-to-ceiling glazing features a sliding door to provide direct access to the starboard side walkway. The outdoor area forward contains a large sun-pad, a generous C-shaped sofa and a table. The wide walkways provide easy access to the mooring area. The more than generously sized flybridge is the perfect place to share al fresco lunches and dinners while revelling in the beauty of the marine environment. The guest area on the lower deck provides a total of three VIP cabins and one guest cabin with sliding beds. The first Ferretti 940 is fitted with twin Man 2000hp engines, reaching a top speed of 25 knots and a cruising speed of 21 knots.  Ferretti has so far sold four units of the 940, before the launching  of hull one, with the first three ordered following project presentation during the 2024 Cannes boat show.

New Model: Princess F58

The new Princess F58 debuted at the 2025 Dusseldorf boat show, a design by long standing collaborators Pininfarina for styling and Bernard Olesinski who is also responsible for naval architecture.  The Princess F58 was one of the most awaited new models at the World's largest indoor show which starts the boating year, not because she is revolutionary, flybridge yachts in this size from the Plymouth base builder rarely are, but mostly because it replaces the top segment selling F55 which sold 180 units in a seven year production run.  The first unit as pictured above featured the optional hard-top, which takes something away from the Pininfarina styling which went for a lower looking profile super structure with a wrap around glazing, unlike the usual split window style associated with Princess since ever.  While the size difference is all about length, the Princess F58 gains new features also in beam.  Two important new features show how important the 98 centimetres are in the F58 to the F55; the master stateroom features a walk-in wardrobe and en-suite bathroom located to aft, and the L-shaped dinette opposite the astern galley on the main deck.  Both of these features are not found in a flybridge of this size, usually found in yachts to at least a meter larger.  The extra length also presents a bit larger flybridge, with the wet-bar located aft.  With the extra length size and weight the Princess F58 get also a power upgrade, now powered by standard Man 1000hp which are good for a respecting 32 knots, and or larger 1200hp which gives a fast 35 knots top speed.  As competitors go, the Princess F58 hits a few sweet spots, which are not found in it's size and dimensions.  Its closest rival, similar in both price and size is the Ferretti 580 which arrived two years ago at the same German show, with a few differences which might make you choose one versus the other, with the Italian having its own merits in the lower deck.

New Model: Composite Yacht CY 55

Composite Yacht is an interesting boat builder, one of a few which you find in the USA and the World, building traditional looking craft but with the latest high end technology available to what regards its construction.  The new CY 55 is Composite Yacht largest model to date, and has an interesting story to tell, for a client order which came in 2022 with a love for traditional Chesapeake fishing boats, but wanted one that provided enough speed and capability to run from his home well inside the Chesapeake Bay to the Norfolk Canyon to fish.  Knowing the lofty speed requirements, Composite Yacht assembled a remarkable design team which included well known naval architect Lou Codega, not only to provide a well designed yacht, but also shared the Maryland builder sense of aesthetic appeal.  After nearly a year of research and development, Composite Yacht came out with the new CY55.  Custom made from design to production the CY 55 also features wake adaptive struts and rudders, custom propellers, and a structure made from Carbon and Kevlar set in heat activated Urethane Acrylate resin. Interestingly enough, the use of Carbon and Kevlar has less to do with actual overall weight savings, and more to do with ensuring the traditional yacht can handle the loads and stresses associated with doing fifty plus knots.  Want more super numbers the first Composite Yacht CY 55 was ordered with twin MTU 1940hp, which give a top speed of 55 knots, with a comfortable cruise at forty knots.  Are these numbers to high, do not worry as Composite Yacht offers the CY 55 with twin 1000hp for speeds up to forty knots, which is the currently in construction second hull.

New Model: Tecnomar C-130

Titled m/y This Is It, this is the first super motor catamaran from Tecnomar, the C-130 a 43 meter in length and fourteen in width, with approximately 750 Gross Tonnage of volume. A ground breaking project which sets a new benchmark in yacht design, the new Tecnomar C-130 defines conventional catamaran thinking with its unique and innovative design. Tradition and innovation come together to create a concept of radical lifestyle and elegance.  Defined by a layout with striking asymmetries and a bold, eye-catching silhouette enveloped by more than 600 square meters of impressive glass windows. The inspiration is technological, clearly far from typical yachting design and definitely more close to civilian architecture. The exterior lines, sinuous and soft, evoke fantastic sea creatures, challenging our perception of what is truly possible. This is a project that goes beyond the status quo, establishing a new benchmark for being an iconic project. The hull lines are optimized to enhance hydrodynamic efficiency, leading to a significant reduction in fuel consumption and, therefore, emissions. In compliance with IMO Tier III requirements, the yacht is equipped with innovative exhaust gas treatment SCR Selective Catalytic Reduction to reduce nitrogen oxide NOx emissions.

New Model: Sanlorenzo SP92

Sanlorenzo presents its new SP92, its second act for the smart performance line up which debuted in 2022 with the SP110.  This smaller SP92 is similar to the five meters larger sister in many regards from its exterior family design looks by Zuccon to its interior layout, with everything being that bit smaller.  Interestingly the vertical layout is of a different feature here, with an entry welcoming saloon taking you four steps up to the living area or down below to the guest cabins.  It is still a very open area but different to the split twin level of the larger SP110, although you still get two lounging up and down transverse areas.  Down below the Sanlorenzo SP92 offers an owners stateroom forward, and two identical sized guest VIP suites.  Further aft the guest cabin deck is a fourth room which in hull one was fitted as a private lower lounge with its own head, which can also be specified as a fourth cabin.  Two crew cabins for four crew with two private bathrooms are located forward, along with the galley and a crew mess area.  The Sanlorenzo SP92 is powered by twin Man 2000hp with MJP waterjets for top speed up to forty knots and a cruise of 35.
