New Model: Windy SR40

Windy present the new SR40 as designed by Espen Oino for exterior and Design Unlimited for interior.  The all new SR40 will be the third model in Windy's SR Sports Boat Line and represents the sixth novelty introduced in the past three years by the famous Norwegian boat builder.  The SR40 is a center console walk-around, but thanks to the enclosed or transform open of the central lounging area, offers a rare to find all weather protection and usage in the genre which is hard to find.  I can only think of the slightly bigger Bluegame BG42 with inboard engines and a similar enclosed protected central helm dinette area outside, and if you go outboards you can also add the Axopar, XO and similar boats.  The Windy SR40 thought has a feature which the competition does not have, and that is disappearing sliding doors, which open and change it an enclosed to a more open area.  The Windy SR40 can also be specified with drop down bulk-heads which extend the area around the sun-pad and bathing platform, doubling the beach club area.  The interior of the SR40 is that of a weekender and features a V-shaped lounge which can transform to a double, and a shower head to starboard.  The outboard version also features a never seen cool option were by the aft sun-pad lifts up and offers a second double berth protected with Eisen glass canopies, in what would be the engine room of the inboard version.  The Windy SR40 is powered by twin Volvo 440hp with stern drive propulsion for top speeds up to 42 knots, with the outboard version offered with twin Mercury 600hp or triple 400hp for speeds up to fifty and 52 knots respectively.

New Model: Cantiere delle Marche RJ155

Since its debut with the RJ130 the first model in the series which launched in 2021, the RJ line has swiftly earned a prominent place in the elite world of explorer super yachts. Designed to combine robust seafaring performance with contemporary elegance, the RJ series set a new standard for a modern expedition yacht.  The vessels’ striking lines, exceptional engineering, and long-range cruising capabilities captured the attention of industry experts and owners alike, immediately positioning the RJ series as a benchmark in its category. Riding the wave of the RJ130’s success, Cantiere delle Marche followed up with the delivery of two RJ115s. These 115-foot yachts maintained the rugged spirit of the original while introducing new levels of comfort, design finesse, and the highest level of customization, further solidifying the RJ line’s reputation for delivering vessels that blend explorer-grade performance with refined luxury, as both won the World Superyacht Award in 2024 and 2025. Now, capitalizing on the momentum and acclaim of its predecessors, Cantiere delle Marche announces the launch of the latest and most ambitious model in the series: the RJ155. Appropriately christened RJ, this 155-foot flagship represents the culmination of the yard’s vision: a super yacht that not only pushes the boundaries of size and capability but also stays true to the DNA that made the series a success. With its increased volume, extended range, and bespoke detailing, the RJ155 is set to redefine expectations yet again in the world of luxury exploration. With a length overall shy of 47m, she is the longest yacht built to date by the Ancona-based shipyard, although not for long as three Flexplorer 165 are in construction with the first scheduled for a 2027 delivery.  Though sleek in design the Cantiere delle Marche points out that the RJ155 is a true expedition vessel, which boasts the rugged capabilities of an oceangoing explorer: steel hull, aluminium superstructure, long range, generous storage, and top-tier equipment. Francesco Paszkowski shaped the yacht’s exterior, while Achille Salvagni crafted the custom interiors, including much of the loose furniture. With a total length shy of 47m, a displacement of 510t, and a Gross Tonnage just below 500GT, the RJ155 combines elegance with performance. Paszkowski’s design includes extended overhangs for shaded terraces, enhancing the indoor-outdoor connection. Naval architecture by Pierluigi Ausonio ensures seaworthiness, stability, and efficiency, aided by twin Caterpillar 1200hp engines, two pairs of electric stabilizers by CMC Marine, and a 66,400-litre fuel capacity.  She will cruise over 5,000 nm at 10 knots. Spread over three decks plus a large sundeck, RJ155 accommodates 12 guests in five suites, including an Owner’s suite with a private gym. Expansive outdoor spaces, tender storage, and a large lazarette for toys reflect CdM’s explorer DNA.

A brand defined by its relentless pursuit of perfection, Maritimo has further evolved its acclaimed M Series motor yachts, with extensive customer consultation fed directly into the Australian-based design team, resulting in a very distinguished fifteen meter motor that’s set to redefine its class. Thousands of design and engineering hours have shaped the M50 into a vessel of refined elegance and purposeful functionality, with balanced proportions from every angle. Each detail has been scrutinised and elevated. Stepping aboard, guests are greeted with an abundance of space and luxury. The innovative rear swim platform raises and folds to reduce the vessel’s length by 750mm when docked, and then when deployed, it transforms into a spacious entertainment area ideal for all water-based activities. Access to the lazarette is via a hatch in the rear of the large entertainment module, containing the built-in barbecue and refrigerator. Further access is also provided under the long seating unit that runs across the forward end of the entertainment module, avoiding the need for heavy actuators to lift the deck and console area. Maritimo’s signature safety is ever-present, with high sides protecting those that are required to move forward, for anchoring or access to the tender, if stowed at the front. The Maritimo engineered articulating swim platform adds further protection to the rear of the vessel, when raised during cruising. The cockpit area provides a fabulous alfresco dining experience and is an entertainer’s dream, flowing seamlessly into the galley and saloon, creating a cohesive, visually clean space. The galley is a ‘chef’s delight’ and features European appliances, impeccable finishes, and immense storage, servicing both the cockpit and saloon with ease. The galley also features plenty of bench space for preparation and service, with a central island bench within the ‘L’ shaped format, which sweeps around the right-hand side of the space. Adjacent, Maritimo’s hallmark internal rear facing staircase leads to the enclosed flybridge on the level above. Natural light fills every internal space. The panoramic saloon windows subtly lowered in the design give commanding views in luxurious comfort from the upper enclosed flybridge. Expansive glass provides 360-degree visibility in a fully protected, climate-controlled environment. Light and air is also brought into the luxurious space via the long strip skylight, with forward and rear opening hatches above in the bridge hardtop. Twin sculpted helm seats ensure comfort and support during long passages, delivering both confidence and enjoyment whilst at sea. The M50 boasts a large bridge that can accommodate two or three screens that visually float above the console, with all other electronics and equipment is thoughtfully placed and within touch. A large cruising lounge is positioned opposite the helm to ensure the journey is as enjoyable as the destination itself. Generous storage, refrigerator and pull-out convertible accommodation on the bridge level turns this space into a highly comfortable penthouse apartment for additional guests. This allows for up to eight guests to enjoy all the new M50 has to offer. The main saloon exudes plush elegance, inviting guests to linger. Moving forward, a naturally lit companionway leads to accommodation spaces that set the M50 apart. By opting for a two-cabin configuration, Maritimo avoided compromise. The symmetrical full-beam master stateroom is expansive and beautifully appointed, with a very generous ensuite, day lounge and hanger lockers at the forward end. The VIP stateroom offers flexible sleeping arrangements, with a bed that can split into singles and an enlarged second bathroom that also serves the other guests. With further accommodation provided by pull out beds in the saloon and above in the flybridge deck, the M50 offers great flexibility to cater for larger numbers of guests, when required. Natural light and ventilation feature prominently throughout: A central skylight and hatch in the VIP stateroom, Expansive side windows with opening portholes in the Master Stateroom, Skylights and hatches in both bathrooms. With a consistent minimum headroom of just under two meters, the M50 maintains a balanced, proportionally perfect silhouette, whilst optimising weight distribution and stability. Leveraging decades of offshore racing pedigree, Maritimo’s hull design delivers lift, stability, and comfort. A reverse chine runs nearly the length of the hull, while a carefully shaped keel ensures a soft re-entry in challenging seas. Powered by twin Volvo 800hp, the Maritimo M50 comfortably cruises at 24 knots, with a top speed of 30 knots, all supported by a 3700-litre fuel tank offering exceptional range and efficiency.

New Model: Benetti B.Now 67M

Benetti is pleased to announce the delivery of the first B.Now 67M. Titled m/y Iryna, the first Benetti B.Now 67M shows how this semi-custom platform-based is in reality more a tailor-made superyacht design that leaves plenty of room for customisation. The exterior styling by Redman Whiteley Dixon and the interior design is by Benetti, who working in close contact with owner’s representative to create an ambitious project in a successful line. At the Benetti Shipyard in Livorno, the B.Now 67M was handed over to her owner, an established customer and admirer of the Shipyard, which completed the project in less than three years. The first unit in the B.Now 67M yacht of five sold, was ordered with the Oasis Deck, which again shows Benetti’s ability to deliver custom projects. The first Benetti B.Now 67M also received official recognition from Lloyd’s Register certifying the yacht as a point of excellence. This steel superyacht stands out for her multiple customisations, not least the colour of the hull and superstructure, personalised with three different greys created especially for this unit. The B.Now 67M also features extensive, mainly curved glazing that covers up to 70% of the overall vertical surface area and lets natural light flood into the indoor spaces, designed by Benetti’s Interior Design Department under the guidance of Benetti Style Manager Mariorosa Remedi. Some of the settings were designed entirely in-house by the Shipyard’s Style Department, such as the four guest cabins on the Lower Deck that showcase this first B.Now 67M unique character and detailing. Examples are the pleated leather produced exclusively for this super yacht and the colours chosen for the fabrics, inspired by the four seasons. The ceilings clad in a new generation leather, tanned using natural materials, and the marble-effect ceramic slabs reveal an environmentally conscious selection of materials. The choice of wood also involved careful consideration of environmental certifications issued by the most authoritative international bodies, including the FSC Forest Stewardship Council and the PEFC Programme for the Endorsement of Forest Certification, ensuring responsibly managed forests with a focus on biodiversity and the wellbeing of local communities. This first Benetti B.Now 67M layout also differs from the original design, particularly in terms of the numerous wellness areas, including a sauna in the beach club and a gym on the main deck, as requested by the owner. The exterior styling by RWD, the UK firm with which Benetti has worked successfully on the entire B.Now line. The Benetti B.Now 67M has six decks, from the top Observation Deck down to the Under Lower Deck, this super yacht is extremely spacious both outdoors, with around 500 square metres of usable space, and indoors, with a 65-square-metre Main Salon and a full-beam owner’s suite on the Upper Deck, made possible by moving the wheelhouse and captain’s cabin up to the next deck. With two VIP cabins on the Main Deck and four cabins on the Lower Deck, it can accommodate up to 15 guests. The design accessories on board this first B.Now 67M are by Visionnaire, a brand favoured by the owner for its excellent craftsmanship and the quality of the materials, both perfectly in tune with Benetti’s mission to offer a unique aesthetic and sensory experience.
