New Model: Maritimo M50 Flybridge Motor Yacht

Maritimo, Australia’s world-class luxury motor yacht builder, expands its next-generation model line-up as it global launched the all-new M50 Flybridge Motor Yacht at the Sanctuary Cove International Boat Show on May 2025. 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.

New Model: Steeler Ocean Explorer 22M

Steeler Yachts proudly announces the successful maiden voyage of the Ocean Explorer 22M, marking the beginning of a new chapter for an experienced world traveler. The yacht, christened Two Bubbles, departed on her first sea trial on the North Sea, demonstrating the performance, safety, and comfort that have become the hallmarks of the Steeler brand. Commissioned by an owner who has crossed all the world’s oceans aboard sailing yachts, Two Bubbles is the result of decades of seafaring experience translated into a fully custom steel explorer. For Steeler Yachts, working with such a knowledgeable client has been both an inspiration and a privilege. Initially drawn to the yacht’s striking exterior design, the owners were ultimately convinced by Steeler’s ability to realize a fully personalized interior layout and technical specification. After a meticulous two-year build process, the end result has exceeded expectations - so much so that the owners, like many before them, have evolved from clients into passionate ambassadors for the Steeler brand. Constructed with a robust steel hull and lightweight aluminium superstructure, Two Bubbles is built for serious passagemaking, including her planned transatlantic journey. With a cruising speed of ten knots and a top speed of thirteen, she delivers both range and efficiency. Her Awl Grip paint system provides enduring protection and an industry-leading gloss rate exceeding 95%, setting a superyacht standard that Steeler consistently strives for. The interior of the Ocean Explorer 22M is fully bespoke, from layout and cabinetry to materials, finishes, and accessories. Every detail has been tailored to reflect the owners' lifestyle, taste, and extensive knowledge of life at sea. Since launching the Ocean Explorer 22M platform, Steeler Yachts has secured orders for three additional Ocean Explorers: two 26-meter and one 21-meter models. The demand for custom, ocean-capable motoryachts under 100 feet continues to grow, driven by a discerning group of owners who value freedom, design, safety, and individuality over size alone.

New Model: Tasman 80

Tasman is a rather fresh down under Australian boat builder which was founded in 2021, and has in 2024 presented this new 80 model.   The 80 is Tasman second model, following the small five meter 50 center console, and was brought to attention by the YouTube review on Dans Boat Life channel.  The Tasman 80 is one of those boats which should get those who want a substantive build first excited; hull design, strong construction and the rest later, think about a small boat in big yacht clothing.  Basically the Tasman 80 is a very capable smallish sport fish cruiser first, which shines in its sea keeping ability and bullet proof construction.  But do not be mistaken, the Tasman 80 besides its sportfish rough sea capability credentials, is also an interesting family adventure cruiser, with a cabin offering a double Vee berth accommodation forward with a shower head to port side.  Some other cruising amenities can be fitted under the hard-top section of the main deck.  The Tasman 80 other interesting feature is that she is sold as a trailable boat, although at a beam of 2.80 meters this will not be possible everywhere, and a weight around to four tons you will also need some good pulling power to take her around.  The Tasman 80 is standard powered by a single Yanmar 370hp which gives a 34 knots top speed, and a cruise of 24 this delivering an important 360 nautical miles range.  A Tasman 80 with twin outboards is also available though of the seven hulls build so far, all have been inboard.

New Model: Baglietto Fast 43m

Baglietto have in mid April launched a new Fast 43m as designed by Francesco Paszkowski for exterior and Margherita Casprini for the interiors.  Titled m/y Speedy Bear, this Fast 43m is a semi-custom order build based on the Fast 44m semi production platform as delivered in three units between 2007 to 2013, with this born from the 42m arriving in 2003, and then evolved in the 43m series as produced from 2006 to 2012 in four units.  In short she is a Baglietto Fast super yacht in its purest form, no semi wide-body volume search, and a straight sheer line which evokes respect, a trait Baglietto started with the 1986 very special John van Neumann ordered 26m m/y Chato, and then it made its identity onwards from the 1991 33m series as designed by Giorgetti and Magretti.  A distinct detail for this new Baglietto Fast 43m is the hard-top enclosed bridge which integrates with the raised pilot house forward.  This new Fast 43m also features the classic Baglietto boxy enclosed transom which when anchored has drop down balconies that transform into a bathing beach platform on the water.  This semi-custom Baglietto Fast 43m has an interior sleeping ten guests, including an owners stateroom on the forward part of the main deck, with crew accommodation for seven, and is powered by twin 3470hp MTU for top speeds up to 27 knots.

New Model: Sunseeker Manhattan 68

Sunseeker present the new second generation Manhattan 68, what it calls the 2025 version. The new second generation Manhattan 68 evolves one of Sunseeker more successful flybridge yachts of recent times, which in itself was a soft evolution of the Manhattan 66 which arrived in 2017. Sunseeker say that in the new Manhattan 68 every detail and feature has been reimagined. Easily recognizable by a redesigned flybridge and hard-top the second generation Manhattan 68 brings a sleeker and more dynamic profile that enhances the World famous Poole yacht builder known bold design, something which I always thought its predecessor lost in some parts due to its search for volume.  My question for the Manhattan 66 and 68 has always been, do you buy a Sunseeker for volume, even if it is a flybridge motor yacht?  The redesigned flybridge sets new standards for open-air living, and also features a larger more versatile seating arrangement and a redesigned ergonomic console.  The aft cockpit has also been redesigned from the previous Manhattan 68 and now brings more functionality and seclusion, and now features a built-in drop down screen enhancing this area privacy.  As interior goes Design Unlimited has created options that tailor to individual owner’s lifestyle, with the second generation Manhattan 68 now offering three lower deck interior layouts, for four or three cabins. The standard four cabins layout comes with a private staircase leading to the owner’s midships full-beam cabin. Alternatively, it can be configured with a single staircase to all cabins, creating space for an opposing seating group in the main saloon. The new Manhattan 68 is also offered in a three-cabin configuration with a grander entrance to the owner’s cabin, complete with an office, or it can include a Pullman-style fourth cabin. A crew cabin with two berths and a private head is located aft.  The new Sunseeker Manhattan 68 is powered by twin Man 1000hp or optional 1200hp for speeds up to 32 knots from the large engine option.
