New Model: Viking 82SB

Since presenting the Sky Bridge option some ten years ago, Viking has always kept it part of the Enclosed Bridge family.  Meaning that a Viking with sky bridge was an Enclosed Bridge model with that option being ticked. Things have changed in 2024, as Viking is rightly now making the Sky Bridge as a different variant of that model. The Viking 82 Skybridge is the first of the new models, although on its website the SD model has appeared also on the 90, and now stopped in production 72 and 80 models.  The Viking 82SB, is an interesting model variant and deserves its own designation.  See it that if you like the salon-like features of an enclosed bridge but also want to run the boat from an open bridge occasionally, the 82 Sky Bridge model is for you, providing the best of both worlds. The elevated bridge’s port-side console has a fully equipped helm with a recessed black acrylic panel for flush-mounted MFDs. Guests can enjoy the view from a forward L-shaped lounge, with easy access to a forward refrigerated drink box and a sink.  This Sky Bridge also makes fish and tuna searching much safer and easier.

New Model: Pershing GTX70

The first Pershing GTX70, an agile and dynamic concentration of the innovations introduced by the GTX series, was launched last March nineteen in the port of Fano. The third model in the Sport Utility Yachts range, marks the beginning of Pershing's fortieth anniversary, delivering the sporty spirit and incredibly liveable spaces of the previous models, but in a more compact format that opens the range experience to a new type of customer. With a length of over 21 meters the GTX70, follows as the bigger GTX80 which arrived in 2024 the design direction of Vallicelli, who is assisted by Piero Ferrari guided Ferretti Group Product Strategy Committee, and the Group’s Engineering Department. The GTX70 new hull was produced at the Ferretti Group Plug and Mould facility, which brings together the brand’s advanced technology and signature craftsmanship, and the boat’s construction was completed in the new Mondolfo production area where the GTX range is built. The GTX70 bring more spacious exterior and interior spaces than on other sporty yachts of similar length, ensuring an extraordinarily comfortable experience by increasing on-board liveability and offering direct contact with the water. Pershing GTX70 extends across two decks and a sport-bridge and can accommodate up to six guests in three cabins. The exterior design, in classic Pershing grey, reprises some of the stand-out style features seen on all GTX models. The slightly convex, stanchion-free sheer line runs from bow to stern, joining up with the bulwarks on either side of the cockpit, which open out to form two terraces that significantly increase the living space in the beach area. The sleek, sweeping lines, combined with the near vertical bow, endow this model with an unrivalled elegance. The beach area aft, furnished on this first unit with the optional sun-pad incorporated in the transom structure, has a total surface of 23 squared meters when the side terraces are open. Another stand-out feature is the stern swim platform with dual linear lift technology, which increases the available space by aligning the platform with the beach area and can also be used to launch a jet ski or a Williams tender. The importance of the concept of space is clear on the main deck, which has a seamless, open design. The cockpit, which is full shaded by the sport flybridge, contains a generous C-shaped sofa and a table. As on the GTX80, the exterior and interior lounge areas are connected via the galley, thanks in part to a pocket up-down glass panel incorporated in the galley unit. Moving forward, the importance of the widebody structure is clear to see in the layout of the living space, which contains two facing L-shaped sofas that give the area an even greater sense of harmony. The colours used for the interiors of this first unit have been chosen to highlight the contrasts between different elements, such as the dark nubuck leather upholstery of the sofas paired with the muted tones of the nearby stairwell. The ceiling is decorated with LED lights strips that deliver diffused light across the entire deck space, a feature also repeated on the lower deck. The lower deck contains three cabins and three en suite bathrooms, in a layout that optimises the spaces so that guests can enjoy maximum comfort in the sleeping area too. Pershing GTX70’s sixteen square-metre sport-bridge is split into three spacious areas for sunbathing, dining and the helm station. On this model it also features the innovative electric bimini top with prepreg carbon poles, available as an option, which can be used to shade the dining area and helm station. The Pershing GTX70 is powered by triple Volvo 900hp with IPS pod propulsion for a top speed up to 35 knots and a cruising speed of thity knots. The GTX70 is also CE Class A certified, the safest for yachts under 24 meter or eighty foot.

Columbus Yachts announces the launch of the first unit of the Atlantique 47 metres. The vessel has been named m/y Acqua Chiara. Unmistakable exteriors with taut yet fluid lines, which widen at the centre of the boat and then taper at the stern and bow.

Boasting an exterior and interior design by Hot Lab studio, Atlantique 47 represents a significant new stage in the development of the Columbus design.  The stern lines, as with the entire Atlantique range, are certainly the focal element of this superyacht, which makes sailing inspiration its real identity. At the stern, the outdoor spaces spread over three close levels: from bow to stern we find a first covered dining area, a living area with a scenic pool and opening balconies, and finally a platform with transformer, just above the water. A second large pool is located at the bow of the main deck and is served by a sunbathing area, a circular sofa and side tables.  The interiors are modern, at times almost urban with combinations of materials in visual and sensorial contrast: leather and white and dark marble, glass and mosaic, all by Sicis, in different shades and patterns.  The Master cabin is located forward on the main deck while, below deck, there are two king-size guest suites and two cabins with twin beds, all with private bathrooms in marble and mosaic.  The crew is made up of eight people accommodated in four comfortable cabins forward on the lower deck, whereas the Captain cabin is adjacent to the wheelhouse.  The garage on the starboard side houses a five-metre tender, while at the bow on the port side we find the second garage for the rescue tender and two jet skis.  Twin Cat engines of 1350 horsepower give a maximum speed of fifteen knots, cruising at fourteen and 3400 nautical miles at twelve knots long range capability.

I was walking at the 2024 Genoa boat show, when I saw a recognizable hull line, is that it, is this a re-invented Baia 48 Flash.  It was, but actually it was not, as it this was the new Ora Yacht 48.  My suspicion though was actually half correct as the Ora Yacht 48 is very much based on the successful 48 Flash hull, re-designed by Forma who presented an updated super structure, featuring a single-piece windshield with no barriers to visibility while navigating and a completely new cockpit and cabin layouts. Ora Yacht from Naples is a new brand who starts with this 48 model, with its bases coming from a family who has been doing boat yacht charter business since the Amalfi coast and nearby islands became a thing.  The Ora Yacht 48 comes minimal looking, a sort of classic open yacht launched into the future, which wants to bring the same outside spaces that the current crop of walk-around boats offer.  For doing this the Ora Yacht 48 first unit came with a nearly free cockpit deck, with L-shaped wet bar galley forward to port, under the extended windshield, and two opposite settees which can transform to a dinette or sun-pad, or be removed to make the cockpit area a totally free party space.  The fore deck has also the option to be equipped with floating cushions that can be used as sunbeds and a sofa.  The Ora Yacht 48 also features a Mastervolt Lithium-Ion system, the first for a boat of fourteen meters giving 220 volt AC systems without the need of a generator.  The system in the Ora 48 features a steel case that is five times stronger to isolate the batteries, this made to ensure safety and exceed upcoming regulations.  The Ora 48 is also well studied in the technical side, where for example removing the engine and or other technical equipment is easy to do.  The Ora 48 unlike its forbearer the 48 Flash which always featured surface drive propulsion, is powered by twin Volvo 600hp with IPS pod drives for top speeds up to forty knots.

New Model: Maxim Yachts Max43 Comfort

 

Maxim Yachts is a new Spanish brand founded on solid bases with its Barcelona parent company started in 1971 as boat yacht repair facility, which enters boat production with the Max43 Comfort.  Initially announced as the Neo 43 project, this walk around center console sport cruiser debuted at the 2024 Genoa boat show, entering into the always growing competitive walk-around segment with performance and high end modern design by Alex Cherigny as its main attributes.  It is an endless competitive segment but yet the Max43 brings a fresh offer, designed not only as a high end performance but also a comfortable stay on board cruiser.  The Max43 bow to stern outdoor spaces expand in space thanks to drop down side balconies, and while this is not new in the category the size of the opening bulkheads are the largest in the segment.  The exterior spaces though are not the winning card, it is the lower deck cabin which sleeps four, in a forward and midships double berth, with a shower head to starboard, which makes the first Maxim interesting especially considering its very sporty characteristics.  The Maxim Max43 Comfort interior is finished in a minimalist clean style, creating a spacious and refined environment. The Maxim Max43 Comfort is powered by twin Volvo 380hp as standard and or optional 440hp with duo-prop stern drive propulsion with the large engines giving a top speed up to 42 knots and a cruise of thirty.  Want more speed?  The Max43 is also available in two outboard powered variants; the 43 Race with twin outboards, and the 44 R with triple Mercury 450hp set up and top speeds over fifty knots.
