Project: Alia Yachts ALY651 65 meters

Alia Yachts is extremely proud to announce the sale of a fully custom 65m yacht. The deal was inked late 2024, and construction of the four-decker has already begun at Alia’s Antalya shipyard. The hull of ALY651 is taking shape in steel, and she will have an aluminium superstructure. When completed, she will become the new flagship of the yard. The unique project sees the Turkish superyacht builder reprising its recent collaboration with Sinot Yacht Design to deliver an exceptional lifestyle platform for this engaged owner. Diana Yacht Design of the Netherlands is developing the naval architecture for the yacht. Although the hull measures 65m, it will offer the volumes and amenities more usually associated with an 80m yacht. These include a prominent owner’s suite with a private lounge offering panoramic ocean views. The owner’s stateroom itself benefits from floor-to-ceiling glass for a profound connection to the surrounding seascape. There are four further guest cabins and a large main deck lounge, which provides a stylish and inviting space for relaxation and social gatherings. Outdoor spaces are similarly impressive and carefully designed to adapt to different needs throughout the day. A standout example is the swimming pool on the main deck aft, whose floor can be raised flush to create a large open area for entertaining guests. The yacht also offers a Jacuzzi with a view on the sundeck and another, larger one on the foredeck for the owner’s exclusive use. Sinot Yacht Design has worked with Alia Yachts and the owner to develop both the exterior design and an exquisitely detailed interior, with natural materials enhancing the overall refinement and craftsmanship for which Alia is known. It is a team which produced impressive results in the award winning 45m, delivered last year.  Currently Alia has eight custom yachts in construction from thirty to 65 meters, with this ALY651 being its largest build to date.

Project: Cayman 560 Sedan

Cayman Yachts presents the project for the 560 Sedan, as designed by Ferragni. The 560 Sedan represents the latest expression of versatility from Cayman and will be presented at the Genoa and Cannes boat shows this coming September. The renderings and technical drawings currently published show all the potential that the 560 Sedan represents, even though she is based on the 540 WA, which is an open sport yacht with T-Top, the new project shines with its special features from the closed Hard Top, the hydraulically opening roof, the pantograph doors on the sides of the double driving position to go directly outside onto the side-decks, the fixed or sliding and electrically opening side windows on the sides of the Hard Top, the possibility or otherwise of having retractable glass doors at the stern. All this shows the extreme flexibility of the Cayman 560 Sedan, which by opening all the glass surfaces, becomes an open sport yacht, but at the same time to be able to stay comfortably during the cruise inside the HT on the completely closed and protected deck. The environments and the organization of the spaces below deck are also flexible with possibility of two cabins layouts plus optional crew cabin or alternatively three cabins plus crew. Exteriors spaces are also larger with bow large sundeck having an adjacent chaise longue and a sofa with a foldaway table that creates an area of ​​relaxation and privacy. The cockpit and the stern are very welcoming, the foldable sides increasing the available surface area for a width just short of seven meters, and in the centre the comfortable raised sundeck which hides, in the inboard version, the tender and, in the outboard version, the engines. The keel, with the characteristic inverted bow and the water lines are those of the highly tested hull Cayman 540 WA, which lives in this new version, a new experience. The platform is equipped with an electro-hydraulic immersion movement which facilitates both the movement of the tender and the ascent from the water. Two types of standard engines are proposed, from twin Volvo 480hp up 725hp, and or triple Mercury 600hp outboards.

Project: Extra Yachts X106 Fast

Extra Yachts present the project for the X106 Fast. A replacement to the Extra X99 Fast, the Extra X106 Fast comes from a design Lorenzo Berselli Agon studio who presented a streamlined look thanks to the superstructure being shifted towards the bow, which allows for a highly liveable stern space.

Project: Marex 390

Marex present the project for an upcoming 390 model as designed by VOM Creations and Alpha Engineering. The Marex is designed as an addition to the 330 and 440 Scandinavian range, offering a perfect balance of open and enclosed spaces. To ensure Marex 390 meets the real needs of boaters, all feedback from the previous Marex owners was collected, and thoughtful details were incorporated. The Marex team worked closely with VOM Creations and Alpha Engineering, taking care to create a more open and comfortable space, in the 390 which will feature a warped variable V-shaped hull, and an innovative structure that ensures superior stability, efficiency, and performance on the water.  Long, sleek windows run along the hull, giving the profile a fresh and elegant look.  Marex has always prioritised functional design, and this is seen on the 390 in the details like the swim platform benches that serve a dual purpose: from seats next to the water to expansive stowage for fenders, lines, and toys. The new cockpit transparent door lets in more light and makes docking in harbours easier, while also keeping a connection to the sea.  The foredeck’s hatch has a hidden bow sprit to be easily flipped out, making access to land from the bow easy. The sun-pad also serves as a floating toy, a feature that is very popular among families. The adjustable backrest of the mattress allows it to be used as a chaise lounge.  The Marex signature enclosure, the Smart Canopy System, remains a highlight repeated in th390.  The side curtains can be deployed in seconds, and together with two sliding roofs, the boat can be adapted to various weather conditions.  The Marex 390 offers two generous dining areas; one in the open cockpit and another in the enclosed salon. In the cockpit, a U-shaped sofa extends to accommodate an additional starboard-side seat, comfortably seating up to eight guests around the table.  Inside, the salon features a more spacious layout, resulting in a more open and social atmosphere. A reversible backrest transforms the seating into a U-shaped dining area around the table. When the backrest is positioned at the rear, it creates a co-pilot seat. A foldable office table completes the setup, offering a practical workspace.  A large sliding door combined with a retractable window allows the salon and cockpit to open up into one continuous space, perfect for socialising with family and friends.  The galley is compact but cleverly designed. It includes an induction Miele hob (with generator installed) or a gas hob, a sink with a cover, a double fridge and freezer, an optional oven, and plenty of storage, including new upper cabinets on both sides of the salon. The solar panel system, installed on the roof, provides constant power for the fridge and lights, allowing for boating away from shore power.  The accommodation on the Marex 390 is designed to deliver true home comfort on the water. Both the forward and midship cabins feature enlarged double beds with premium mattresses that improve sleeping quality. Spacious wardrobes and generous standing height add to the overall sense of comfort. In the midship cabin, a sofa serves as a cosy seating area or an additional sleeping space for children. A separate shower contributes to the home-like atmosphere, while large windows on the lower deck fill the space with natural light, creating a bright and airy ambiance.  The Marex 390 is to be powered by twin Volvo 320hp or 380hp with sterndrive propulsion, or a single 480hp on V-drive line shaft.

Project: Wajer 55

Wajer present the project for a new second generation 55, again designed by Sinot with naval architecture by Vripack.  The original and first Wajer 55 debuted in the second half of 2017, and has been a success for the traditional inspired sport cruiser and yacht Dutch builder, with the model spawning two other 55 HT and 55 S variants.  Recognizable by a couple cosmetic details, from the air intakes which curve with the stern and are positioned under the rub rail, similar to the Wajer 77, and the bathing platform which extends from the hull, the new Wajer 55 is not just a cosmetic improvement on the previous model but also features a new hull which is nearly three feet longer and 25 centimetres wider.  Although bigger and longer much of the Wajer 55 is the same to the same name model it replaces, from the symmetrical layout; central corridor with two aft sun-pads, two C-shaped dinettes versus the previous L-shape, and dual helm station and co-driver to starboard which is repeated for two other companion seats the other side.  The cabin layout is also mostly unchanged to the first generation Wajer 55; with a double berth forward, shower head to starboard, L-shaped galley to port, and twin berths at midships.  A technical novelty in the Wajer 55 will be automatic concealed fenders, along with the other technical gizmos which are package and parcel of the Dutch sport cruisers and yachts; integrated cleats, concealed anchor, and extendable swim platform.  Automatic fenders are not new, I remember seeing them at the 2004 Genoa boat show presented on the Ilver Explorer 55.  The Wajer 55 is to be powered by triple Volvo 440hp and or optional 480hp, with the optional engines giving a top speed up to 38 knots and a cruise of 28.  With a new hull I am a bit surprised that Wajer did not fit the larger Volvo 550hp and or 600hp in a twin format.  So far Wajer has announced only the new standard 55, but expect the changes to come in the HT and S variants in a year or so.

Project: Apreamare Gozzo 48 Cabin

Apreamare introduces the Gozzo 48 Cabin, extending the Gozzo line but also the Cabin variant of the series which debuted in 2024 with the Gozzo 38 Cabin.  The Cabin versions of the Gozzo are designed to offer more cabin comfort, which add to the all length vast external spaces with more internal living comforts, becoming a cruiser which makes living aboard in the off season comfortable and cosy.  With the Gozzo 48 Cabin, Apreamare introduces also a new flagship in the Gozzo line, which now features four models and continues the path of growth and innovation with its roots in the traditional Sorrento shipyard’s maritime tradition. Designed for discerning owners, the new Gozzo 48 Cabin represents a further evolution of the Sorrentine gozzo, reimagined with a contemporary twist to offer generous spaces, liveability, utmost crafting care, and seaworthiness. The Gozzo 48 Cabin project was born once again from the brain work of Cataldo Aprea with Marco Casali from Too Design coming in for the design and style, and Umberto Tagliavini of Marine Design for the naval architecture, all these integrated with Apreamare internal technical Office. The result is a traditional cruiser that fully reflects the Apreamare vision to combine elegance, functionality and construction solidity, without ever straying from the brand’s identity.  The new Gozzo 48 Cabin stands out for its vast spaces, designed to ensure maximum comfort on board both when cruising and at anchor. The walkaround deck is designed to encourage relaxed and convivial outdoor living: as guests board find a large cockpit featuring a generous sun-pad and an L-shaped sofa. The manually adjustable outdoor table can become one with the sunbed. Alternatively, the owner can opt for an electric table that disappears into the floor. At the bow, a second sunbathing area is enriched with a comfortable and conversational arrangement with a sofa and armchairs. The interiors of the Gozzo 48 Cabin are conceived to ensure seamless continuity with the cockpit. The large glass surfaces amplify the natural light and offer well-proportioned spaces, finished with quality materials and fine craftsmanship: timber, fabrics, leather and custom details. The internal layout includes a comfortable dinette with a U-shaped sofa and a fully-equipped spacious galley, larger than any competitor in this size class. To increase functionality and comfort, Apreamare has introduced a further element of innovation: the helm seating position located starboard is equipped with an electrical function that makes it become an additional part of the sofa, giving great versatility to the spaces. The layout below deck includes the possibility of having two or three cabins with two large bathrooms featuring separate showers. At the stern it is also possible to include a crew cabin, accessible from the cockpit. From a technical point of view, the new Gozzo 48 Cabin builds on the approach of the Gozzo range, with design solutions conceived to offer safe and comfortable navigation at all times. The deep-V hull with variable geometry, designed by Umberto Tagliavini, guarantees excellent seakeeping, even in demanding conditions. The Gozzo 48 Cabin is powered by Volvo 550hp and or 600hp with IPS pod propulsion, with the larger engine option also available in line shaft option.
