New Model: Azimut Grande 44M

Azimut launched its new flagship and largest build to date, as it splashes the first unit of the Grande 44M. A contemporary superyacht the Grande 44M also combines Hull Vane® foil technology and carbon fibre, where lightness creates new possibilities, freeing up space to dedicate an entire Deck to the owner. Enjoyed in the silence of Mild Hybrid technology. The launch of the first Grande 44M confirms the success of the strategy that has led Azimut to achieve leadership in the superyacht segment over the years. Today, over two-thirds of the Azimut's production value is represented by models over 24 meters, a testament to a corporate vision rewarded by the market and the trust of owners. The expansion of the range culminates in the new Grande 44M, which debuts in the water with seven units already sold to owners. The new flagship marks the final leg of Azimut's journey to define the contemporary superyacht, combining the evolution of its design language created by international design excellence with continuous technological innovation. The use of carbon fiber, which accounts for more than 50% of the vessel, is the cornerstone of the project: reducing the overall weight of the superstructure allows for an unprecedented four-deck architecture that breaks with the traditional layout. The fourth deck, which houses the wheelhouse and is perfectly integrated into the sleek profile designed by Alberto Mancini, frees the Upper Deck of all technical spaces, transforming it into an entire deck dedicated to the owner with private terraces overlooking the horizon. Aft, the Grande 44M features the Mezzanine Deck with a Sea View Terrace, a defining element of the Grande Trideck, made even more iconic by the See-Through Pool: a plunge pool that plays with transparency to maintain visual contact with the sea and create caustic effects that make the beach club even more magical. The original layout allowed m²atelier architecture studio to translate the design into a manifesto of intentional living. Here, the interior balances functionality and aesthetics in environments designed to give new spaces to the owner, along with the freedom to inhabit it as they please. This is how the bow area of ​​the upper deck is transformed: a veranda dining area for twelve, a private media room, or a space for guests. In every configuration, enormous windows break down visual boundaries and open a 180° view of the outdoor bow lounge where, around the firepit, guests gather to watch the sunset over the water. m2atelier—internationally renowned for projects ranging from elite residences to product design envisions a clear and uncompromising style for Azimut, punctuated by subtle, refined details.

New Model: Caribbean 40F Flybridge

Purchased by Maritimo in Summer 2025, Caribbean shows its new direction by debuting its first new model, the 40F Flybridge.  The 40F is a replacement to the Caribbean 40 Mk.II, a totally revised and enhanced flybridge cruiser developed as a crossover platform equally capable of extended coastal cruising, offshore game fishing, as well as leisurely family boating.  The 40F draws heavily on the qualities that defined earlier Caribbean flybridge cruisers, namely strong seakeeping, dependable handling, deep-V offshore performance, and practical layouts, whilst introducing a more refined and contemporary interpretation of the Australian offshore cruiser.  Its exterior styling features sharper flybridge lines, cleaner and larger glazing areas, a modern hardtop profile, and a more sophisticated overall presentation, without sacrificing the purposeful functionality for which Caribbean became known.  The flybridge access has also been thoughtfully designed. Instead of compromising valuable cockpit space, the ladder is neatly positioned within the awning envelope on the starboard side, leading through a dedicated hatch to preserve a clean, practical layout. Balancing this arrangement, the port side incorporates the fridge/freezer, and functional amenities such as a sink and barbecue are situated on the right-hand side under the ladder, creating a package that is equally capable as a serious offshore performer and an exceptional entertainer.  Designed for serious time on the water, the Caribbean 40F delivers expansive spaces due to a total rethink of the deck and cabin design, including the removal of the side elements of the forward-facing glass to allow for increased fridge and pantry space. The result now has more integrated solutions built in with wide and practical side decks, a large contemporary saloon arrangement, updated onboard systems, and a flybridge helm configuration engineered for offshore visibility and usability.  The Caribbean 40F comes with multiple configurations, allowing owners to tailor the vessel toward dedicated fishing applications or family cruising requirements.  Performance and offshore capability remained central throughout development, with the 40F engineered around efficient shaft-drive diesel propulsion with an emphasis on reliability, predictable handling, offshore range and comfortable cruising efficiency.  The Caribbean 40F is standard fitted with Volvo 440hp, with the first hull fitted with the larger option of twin 670 horsepower.

New Model: Custom Line 35 Navetta

The first Custom Line Navetta 35 yacht was launched on May 28 at the Ferretti Group Superyacht Yard in Ancona, during a ceremony attended by the shipyard’s senior management, the owner’s representative, the captain, the surveyor and the employees of both Custom Line and the outside contractors involved, who celebrated the event with great satisfaction and enthusiasm. Also present at the launch were the architects who collaborated on the project, Filippo Salvetti and Chiara Massarani of ACPV Architects. The distinctive features that ensure a unique and engaging cruising experience for the owner and his guests include: the almost transparent naval architecture, which puts the sea at the centre of the on-board experience; the fluid interconnection between interiors and exteriors, which amplifies the pleasure of conviviality; and the sophisticated combinations of elegance and comfort, evident in all the yacht’s settings. The launch of the first Custom Line Navetta 35 consolidates the brand’s strategic positioning in the displacement segment under 270 GT, strengthening the synergy between innovative design and masterful craftsmanship that has defined Custom Line’s identity right from the outset. Confirming the strong interest generated by the project, the model had already recorded sales of three units before the launch of its first hull. With a length of 34 meters this yacht is the result of collaboration between the Strategic Product Committee and the Ferretti Group Engineering Department, with strategic consulting provided by Custom Line Atelier, which curated the definition and development of the interior styling to reflect the owner’s own aesthetic tastes. With exterior styling by architect Filippo Salvetti and interior architecture by ACPV ARCHITECTS Antonio Citterio Patricia Viel, the new made-to-measure yacht embodies the values of high-quality Italian craftsmanship, functional design, technological innovation and refined beauty that have been an integral part of the brand’s bespoke DNA from the outset. Extending across three decks, the layout of Custom Line Navetta 35 offers a contemporary take on life at sea, with generous functional spaces devoted to convivial living and the well-being of the owner family and their guests. With over 300 square metres of indoor and outdoor space, the settings alternate between areas designed for socialising and others for relaxation, complemented by comfy freestanding furniture and flexible layouts that encourage social interaction. The yacht can accommodate up to ten guests in five cabins – a master suite on the main deck and four guest cabins on the lower deck – while ensuring that guest and crew flows are both private and functional. The exterior design of Custom Line Navetta 35 stands out for its understated, harmonious style, featuring sculptural surfaces, balanced volumes and clean lines that produce a contemporary, dynamic silhouette. The interiors are designed to enhance the sense of space and showcase the ever-present dialogue with marine environment, thanks to the extensive use of full-height windows and the almost transparent naval architecture, designed to let natural light flood in from stern to bow and on every side. The innovative staircase is part of this effort, designed to ensure maximum privacy and blend discreetly into the interior design. The fact that there is no external staircase aft on the main deck helps create the ultimate flexible space, turning the cockpit into the yacht’s social hub. The interior design language features soft volumes, organic geometries and custom-made freestanding furniture designed by Antonio Citterio, raised off the floor so that it seems almost to float in space. In line with this bespoke vision and aesthetic, for the first Custom Line Navetta 35, ACPV developed the Light Mood based on the owner’s wishes: a concept featuring ivory, beige and caramel colourways that runs through the settings, giving them more depth, luminosity and lightness. This pursuit of balance is also reflected in the choice of materials: vibrant Pietra di Vicenza stone, pale wood floors and sand-coloured leather used for upholstery and detailing come together to create a warm and refined atmosphere. The result is a sophisticated and immersive cruising experience, in which light, materials and transparency blur the boundaries between inside and outside, transforming every space into a prime vantage point overlooking the sea.

New Model: Beneteau Gran Turismo 40

Seeing the sport cruiser segment changing in recent years, Beneteau made a big turn around and decided to redesign all its Gran Turismo range with three new models.  This new second generation Gran Turismo 40 shows the way forward for what has been Beneteau's success of the last two decades, with this model a replacement to the Gran Turismo 41 produced since 2021, what was previously the first generation Gran Turismo 40, Flyer Gran Turismo 38, and debuted as the Monte Carlo 37 in 2006.  It's been nineteen years of improving for what over the years became the European sport cruiser standard.  With this new Gran Turismo 40, Beneteau instructed its long standing designer Andreani; he designed all the four models mentioned, to make a hybrid, a sport cruiser which brings the amenities of the walk-around cruisers which are dominating the market, like the Fjord, Pardo's and Solaris Power models mixed to those of a cabin boat.  This new Gran Turismo is just that offering for half its length full walk-around comfort, which expands more thanks to the drop down bulkheads, and then from midships it is a cabin boat, with the helm station also enclosing itself from the aft deck, and the forward raised deck which offers lower deck cabin space for four.  The new Benateau Gran Turismo 40 is powered by twin Yanmar 370hp on stern drives propulsion for speeds up to 32 knots, with an outboard gas petrol twin Mercury 400hp also being available.  The second generation Gran Turismo 40 is also offered in the Alpine Edition, for special details and finishing to make that more special.

New Model: Galeon 520 Fly

Galeon debuted its new 520 Fly at the Miami Boat Show earlier this year.  The 520 Fly is a replacement to the ten years produced 500 Fly model, probably Galeon's most important model to date, the one which introduced the expanding trasformative drop-down bulkheads who since then became a focus of signature of the Polish yacht builder offer.  Designed by over twenty years Galeon designer Tony Castro, the 520 Fly follows similar styling to the well received 560 Fly which arrived three years ago in 2023.  The 520 Fly is similar to it's lightly larger 560 Fly sister in a bit of a smaller size, which when you start crunching numbers is less to the four foot the model designation gives.  For the 520 Fly, Galeon also bring InSitu and Partners for interior design, who present the three Amber, Ocean, and Ivory themed palettes for the furnishing style.  The interior of the 520 Fly has a living with astern galley layout, which in full Galeon fashion with opening windows and expanding balconies transforms the area to something unique which only the Polish builder offers today.  The lower deck is a three double cabins with two heads layout; full beam midships located owners stateroom, VIP suite forward, and twin berth cabin to port side.  A single berth crew cabin is also located aft, with this optionable as a tender garage.  The Galeon 520 Fly is powered by twin Volvo 725hp with line shaft propulsion in propeller tunnels for top speeds up to thirty knots and cruising speed in the mid twenties.
