Project: GX Superyachts 34 RPH

GX Superyachts has unveiled the project for an upcoming GX34 at the Palm Beach International Boat Show 2025. With sleek, timeless design and fantastic exterior spaces, it is proof positive that responsible design need make no compromise on comfort or functionality. The announcement of the new model comes hot on the heels of news that building work has already begun on the brand’s GX42 flagship. There has been such a clamour of interest around the debut of this exciting new sustainable super yachting business, that it made sense to proceed quickly with a second model. Like its bigger sister, the heart of the GX34 project is the tantalising promise of the full superyacht lifestyle without the full CO2 emissions that usually accompany it. Under the banner of the Responsible Yachting movement, GX Superyachts is spearheading a revolution in the way that even large yachts can maximise electrical power and reduce their reliance on traditional diesel. The result for the GX34 is emissions that are 30% lower than the standard. Through sister company Greenline Yachts, GX Superyachts can draw on decades of experience in hybrid diesel-electric propulsion. The solution combines twin 200kW electric motors with up to 2132kW of diesel power, for the best of both worlds. There is silent and vibration-free electric propulsion over short distances with powerful, efficient internal combustion engines for greater speeds and distances. A vast lithium-ion battery bank of up to 800kWh permits optimum power management. With the option of up to 46 solar panels for. The GX34 RPH set into the superstructure and hard top, the GX34 can generate up to 30MWh of solar energy per year to spend long periods at anchor without the need to switch on the generators. Even with the air conditioning turned right up and the help of the very efficient battery, the yacht can run hotel systems in silent electric mode for up to 48 hours, ensuring guests get a comfortable night’s sleep. And with a greater reliance on natural ventilation, that silent period lengthens considerably. When battery levels fall too low, super-efficient generators start up automatically for rapid three-hour charging. And for longer, faster passages, the twin diesel engines take the strain. In this mode, the electric motors can serve as battery chargers as well, utilising energy ‘wasted’ by the engines. This ensures that the GX34 reaches its destination with full batteries. The GX34 delivers impressive performance, boasting an oceanic range of 10,000 nautical miles in hybrid mode at six knots. It cruises comfortably at twelve knots and can reach a top speed of sixteen knots, depending on the chosen performance package, which includes the option of twin 749kW engines. Larger engine configurations and "Hybrid Sport" packages are currently under study. To create an exceptional product takes exceptional design, so GX Superyachts has assembled a team of internationally prominent designers. Marco Casali is responsible for the exterior looks and the interior styling, while Francesco Rogantin of NAMES has tuned the naval architecture for maximum efficiency and stability. The yacht unveiled at Palm Beach is the raised pilot house RPH variant, with a low-profile flybridge crowning the superstructure. But like all GX Superyachts, there is a Fly and an even slicker Coupe version available, where the roof of the superstructure forms a single elegant convex curve. All models feature a generously shaded guest cockpit aft with dining space and comfortable lounge seating. A sensational entertaining and relaxing space is centred on the lower aft deck, which grows to more than 50 square metres of space when the two side wings are lowered.  There’s the option of a saltwater pool integrated into the aft platform, which has been designed to lift and store a tender up to four meters long. On the GX34 RPH version, the generous flybridge deck can be configured according to the owner’s wishes. Informal dining, epic lounging space and a bar are all part of the vision, and the designers have also studied the option for a Jacuzzi, positioned aft with an unbeatable view. Proportions for the interior are equally grandiose. There are five guest cabins, the jewel of which is naturally the owner’s stateroom, occupying pride of place forward on the main deck. From the owner’s king-size bed, there are sweeping 270-degree views of the horizon through deep glazing. Naturally enough at this scale, the owner is welcome to bring their own designer to the project, but Casali has imagined an interior that perfectly complements the clean, aerodynamic lines of the exterior. It’s all about natural woods, leathers and stones that create a comfortable, calming oasis. These are carefully selected for their sustainability, closing the circle on this yacht’s philosophy of Responsible Yachting.

Project: Itama 54

Ferretti Group looks back to Itama, as it presents the totally new 54 project as designed by Tommaso de Luca.  A totally new Itama has long been coming since 2009 and the Fifty, the last totally new model from the Ferretti Group owned iconic blue and white open yacht, and as the new models which came from 2012, like the 45 and 62 and subsequent S and RS were all in reality evolutions of the Forty and FiftyFive from 2006 and 2007 respectively.  For this new Itama 54 project Ferretti Group bring new designer Tommaso de Luca, a previous Luca Bassani of Wally prodigy, who will have to bring a cautious evolution side, against the revolutionary one he was taught.  De Luca replaces Marco Casali, who marked the Ferretti's Group Itama since the they own the name by the year ending 2024, with his designs bringing success and a soft evolution respecting the name to the letter.  54 means also a second generation model, with the Mario Amati Itama 54 as produced from 1985 to 2001 being also the flagship till 1996.  For his first Itama De Luca brings traditional input in this new 54 like the windshield which is similar to the Mario Amati 1986 launched 45, which then evolved as 46 in 1995, and then the 50 in 2003, with new evolutions incoming; see angle outwards stern, and fore deck which is not flush and drops slightly down in the middle section, and will also integrate a sun-pad.  The 54 will also feature window glazing serving the cabin area on the hull side.  The accommodation on the cockpit is superb, and the Itama 54 will feature spaces nearly competing with those of the 62; a C-shaped lounger forward, a C-shaped dinette, the large sun-pad aft with storage underneath all lying to starboard, with helm station and wet-bar behind it to port side.  The Itama 54 lower deck will feature two cabins, two bathrooms, a galley and a dinette.  The spacious master cabin forward contains a central bed with two large storage drawers in the base and two wardrobes.

Project: Tankoa S520

Tankoa looks forward to its success, and follows the popularity of the fifty metre S501 semi custom platform, with the project of the S520 which was revealed during the 2025 Palm Beach boat show.  Coming again from the drawing board of Francesco Paszkowski, the new Tankoa S520 lengthens the S501 platform from fifty to 52 metres whilst maintaining the same winning proportions found on the previous model.  The S520 is a refreshed and two meter larger S501, in both exterior design and layout choices, with three key differences; expanded stern area, floor to ceiling windows, and more exterior spaces.  A key distinction between the S520 and the S501 can be found in the significant enhancement of the outdoor spaces on offer. This includes a longer and wider sun deck, which now comes complete with an infinity pool, an enlarged upper deck sky-lounge and an extended flybridge.  Paszkowski has reimagined the stern of the S520 so that it joins the main deck, aft platform and beach club seamlessly, thus creating the ultimate beach club concept.  This light-filled space has flexible spaces which can be arranged for a plethora of different purposes, split across two levels and opens up onto two side platforms, resulting in unparalleled contact with the ocean.  Benefitting from three light sources, a porthole facing the pool and two side portholes along the hull this space also features two sunbathing areas protected by glass which are integrated into the hull and enable usability even while cruising.  The cleverly incorporated ‘functional elements’ found in the S520 are numerous, but of note is the crane for the tender at the bow, which has been integrated into the overall design, rather than appearing as a separate technical component. Furthermore, the gangway is seamlessly built into the aft platform, majorly boosting the liveability of this space.  Relocating the staircases to the port side which serves to expand the upper deck aft and establish a fully-dedicated entertainment area the upper deck forward is purely dedicated to toy storage: ideal for the current and future generation of adventurous owners.  For the interior the standard offer is the established collaboration between Francesco Paszkowski and Margherita Casprini, the two designers have collaborated on a number of Tankoa projects over the years from the recently launched T580, the first S501, the S501 Evo, and S701.  Although being a semi custom platform, an owner can still bring his interior designer of choice.  The S520 interior is all about high ceilings and large windows than her predecessor, the architectural choices made by Paszkowski feature overlapping panels and partitions which create intentional fragmentation within the spaces for a distinctively modern effect. On the main deck, the living and dining areas are separated by panels whilst still remaining highly unified spaces. The elements found in the generous owner’s stateroom; a bedroom, lounge, study, walk-in wardrobe and vanity area, function as independent yet connected spaces. The rounded shapes and materials found here effortlessly link areas between floors and ceilings.  Indeed, throughout the S520 the carefully chosen materials cleverly join the different areas, with the subtle grey-toned colour palette extending into the furnishings and reinforcing the strong visual link between interior and exterior spaces.  The Tankoa S502 is to be powered by twin Man 1430hp engines for a top speed up to sixteen knots, a cruise of fifteen, and a long range up to 3750 nautical miles at twelve knots.

The helm is situated on the aft deck, but you can opt for an additional internal helm position if you prefer. When cruising in open waters beyond the coast, this model seamlessly transitions between marine environments and comes into her own. Although this vessel easily traverses rivers and canals, her tried and tested hull design delivers the seakeeping of a rugged, ocean-going pilot boats a unique quality in this class of vessel.

Project: Maiora M36

Maiora, a brand of Next Yacht Group, presents the Maiora M|36, the first model of the new M line, marking a significant evolution for the shipyard while preserving the identity that has defined half a century of success. Maiora M|36 is the perfect fusion of innovation and tradition, a refined synthesis of functionality and timeless elegance, offering an exclusive and uncompromising onboard experience. With a length of 37 meters and a beam of over eight meters, the Maiora M|36 is spread across three decks, ensuring generous and sophisticated spaces. The layout includes five cabins, accommodating up to 12 guests, with the owner’s suite on the main deck and four guest suites on the lower deck, striking the perfect balance between privacy and conviviality. The Maiora M|36 is the result of a collaboration with Quartostile, a design studio renowned for its prestigious experience in the yachting sector including the award-winning Maiora 36 Exuma, as well as in the automotive industry, with high-profile partnerships such as Giugiaro and Maserati. While the exterior design bears the signature of Quartostile, the interior spaces have been crafted by Acube Design, an architectural studio with over twenty years of experience in the industry. Quartostile and the Maiora team worked together to develop a vision that goes beyond traditional boundaries, transforming the yacht into a natural extension of the sea. Architectural solutions ensure a seamless connection between interior and exterior, where the horizon becomes an integral part of the onboard experience. The profile of the Maiora M|36 has been meticulously designed to evoke a sense of dynamism, achieved through a refined interplay of acceleration and volume, creating a perception of movement even when the yacht is at anchor. Bold yet sophisticated lines converge in a captivating interplay of light and shadow, where the hull blends harmoniously with expansive glass surfaces and the warmth of teak, enhancing the yacht’s elegance and fluidity. The outdoor areas, the heart of life on board, offer guests a direct and immersive connection with the sea, thanks to meticulously designed spaces where the full-beam bow and openable stern redefine the concept of onboard living. The main deck unfolds as a seamless continuum between interior and exterior spaces. At the stern, fold-down bulwarks and a concealed, walkable pool cover elevate versatility on board. Additionally, a carefully planned height distribution brings the cockpit closer to the sea, enhancing the usability of the space in an entirely new way. This sense of continuity extends into the salon, where opening side windows dissolve physical barriers, creating a fully immersive experience in direct contact with the sea, eliminating any separation between indoors and outdoors. At the bow, the full-beam owner’s suite features expansive windows, dissolving physical boundaries and fostering an intimate connection with the sea. On the upper deck, the generous space and seamless continuity from stern to bow ensure exceptional flexibility, allowing for a fully customizable configuration tailored to the owner’s preferences. The expansive lounge, dining area, bar, and sunbathing spaces create a truly unique atmosphere, further enhanced by breath-taking panoramic views of the surrounding seascape. The Pilot House, positioned independently, has been designed to provide optimal control and outstanding visibility, thanks to its 180-degree panoramic view towards the bow. Completing this layout of ultimate comfort are the four guest suites on the lower deck, dedicated to ensuring an exclusive and relaxing stay. The interiors of the Maiora M|36, developed by Acube Design in collaboration with the shipyard’s Centro Stile, embody the beauty of simplicity through organic forms and natural materials, creating spaces designed for comfort, practicality, and well-being. Fluid shapes lie at the heart of this project: moving away from rigid geometries, the design draws inspiration from the natural flow of marine elements, with soft curves and continuous surfaces that enhance a sense of harmony and relaxation. The Maiora M36 is powered by twin Man 2200hp or MTU 2640hp with top speeds up to 24 knots with the small engines and thirty knots for the optional larger units.  The first Maiora M|36 unit will be built in Viareggio, at the shipyard’s prestigious production site, which features eight dedicated stations for yacht construction, and is set to hit the water in Summer 2026.
