Following the positive response of its first model the Astor 36, Bellini presents the project for the bit larger Astor 38. A project of Brunello Acampora, the Bellini Astor 38 is developed on the same hull lines of the 36, with the extra length giving a more spacious interior. For the most part everything is near identical to the Astor 36 in the Astor 38, same very large drop down bulkheads, same center console walk-around console layout with goes up forward to offer a sun-pad on deck and more space in the cabin. The main difference comes in the cabin and at midships now coming with twin berths, rather then the double tucked in the Astor 36. A bit larger bathing platform also distincts the Astor 38 from the smaller sister. The Bellini Astor 38 is to be powered by twin Volvo 350hp in gasoline, and or 300hp diesel engines, both units with stern drive propulsion.

Project: Nimbus 495 Coupe
During the 2026 Dusseldorf boat show, Nimbus announced the 495 Coupe project, a showing to its roots for the hard-top cruiser which defined the Swedish boat builder into its expansive story. Coupé has been with Nimbus since 1968 as it presented the 26 model in that year, a type of sport cruiser which was born with that concept, and Nimbus always evolved it in nearly sixty years of boat building success. Even when open boats were in huge demand Nimbus recognized the Coupe hard-top boat perfection for the Northern climates, which defined its success; protected when conditions demand it, open when the weather allows. The 495 Coupé, based on the 495 Flybridge platform which arrived in 2024, is the largest expression of this philosophy: designed for extended life aboard without the need for crew. You lose the flybridge and for this the 495 Coupe gains a large skylight, electric soft top for sun protection, and a air draft of under 3.5 metres, suited for those who want to boat in the inland waterways of Northern Europe.

Project: Heesen 72m Project Ananda
Heesen present Project Ananda, a 72 meters project. To be build on a smart custom platform Project Ananda also represents the largest steel build to date by Heesen and is developed in collaboration with Sinot Yachts, with this build also showing a new strategic direction from the Dutch super yacht builder. At 72 metres, Project Ananda marks a significant step forward in Heesen’s engineering capabilities, pushing the boundaries of speculation-built yachts while reinforcing the shipyard’s focus on owner and guest wellbeing, exceptional build quality, and unparalleled seakeeping. The project reflects a highly client-focused approach to yacht building, with flexibility and personalisation embedded throughout the design. The name Ananda meaning “inner joy”, encapsulates the philosophy behind the yacht’s onboard experience. A highly collaborative process between Sinot and Heesen’s in-house engineering ensures the exterior design could be realised without compromise. This integrated approach aligns design intent with technical feasibility, maintaining consistency from concept through to construction. The result is a yacht that retains Heesen’s characteristic sleek profile, interpreted through a softer, more organic design language. Built on an ultra-efficient steel hull, Project Ananda combines proven Dutch shipbuilding expertise with advanced performance. Tank testing at the University of Southampton’s Wolfson Unit successfully validated resistance, trim, heave, and wave response. The hybrid propulsion system incorporates twin MTU engines and PTI/PTO gearboxes, delivering a range of 5,000 nautical miles at twelve knots and a maximum speed up to sixteen knots. Guest arrival has been carefully considered as part of the overall onboard experience. A midships shell door opens onto a docking platform leading directly to a central glass elevator. This arrangement transforms a functional operational feature into a ceremonial arrival experience, allowing guests to bypass social areas and access their quarters with complete privacy. Spread across five decks, the general arrangement prioritises fluid movement and layered privacy. The layout remains highly adaptable, with two configurable Owner’s Deck arrangements allowing the owner to choose between a forward-facing private deck or an aft-focused deck experience. Both Owner’s Deck concepts serve as blank canvases, enabling clients to incorporate highly specific lifestyle requirements. Conceived as an apartment-like environment, the master suite on the foredeck features a private office and extensive panoramic sightlines. A second master suite on the Bridge Deck mirrors the scale and comfort of the primary stateroom, removing traditional hierarchies while offering flexibility for charter operations or multi-generational family use. All interior spaces will be crafted in-house at Heesen Interiors in Winterswijk. Operating its own luxury interior company provides Heesen with a strategic advantage, ensuring complete control over execution while guaranteeing impeccable Northern European quality. Among Ananda’s standout features is the travertine-clad swimming pool area connected directly to a Teppanyaki-style bar within the main lounge. Rather than using traditional teak decking, Heesen selected travertine flooring that extends seamlessly from the outdoor pool area into the fully openable indoor lounge, creating a refined indoor-outdoor living experience. The deck space is entirely flush and free from visible mooring equipment, creating a serene environment that can easily transform into an entertainment and party deck. The midship spa and beach club spans approximately 100 square metres, offering an unrivalled wellness experience complete with a sauna, steam room, ice bath, snow shower, hyperbaric chamber, massage and medical treatment room, and bar. Developed in collaboration with Heesen’s Human Health Engineering department, the space delivers a uniquely integrated wellbeing experience. Project Ananda is scheduled for keel laying in November 2026, with launch and delivery anticipated for 2030.

Project: Apreamare Gozzo 42
Apreamare presents the Gozzo 42 project, moving forward the stylistic and design evolution of the Gozzo line. The Gozzo 42 is not just an expansion of the range, but brings a natural evolution of Apreamare design language as desired by Cataldo Aprea who again asked Marco Casali of Too Design the designer of the all the current Gozzo range, and Umberto Tagliavini of Marine Design who design and engineer this new model. The result is that the Gozzo 42 is a perfectly balanced take on the Apreamare identity: respect for tradition, build quality and functional innovation devised for the contemporary owner. Stylistically speaking, the Gozzo 42 introduces a new sportier and more modern look; the hull, deckhouse and windows have been completely redesigned to create a more dynamic silhouette, without affecting the family feeling that has made the Gozzo range immediately recognisable in the yachting scene. The distinctive features of theGozzo 42 include the sleek hardtop, now designed to be fitted with the optional glass windscreen in a solution that increases cruising comfort in all conditions. The helm station also has a more sculpted design, with a more ergonomic layout and optional air conditioning for maximum driving comfort. Special attention was also given during the design process to technical and functional aspects: new air inlets integrated into the hull improve cooling in the engine room, which has a large electrically operated door to facilitate access for maintenance. A technical compartment in the stern houses the mooring gear. In true Apreamare tradition, the new Gozzo 42 stands out for its exceptional onboard liveability, among the best in its category. The cockpit features a large two meters long sun-pad in the stern, positioned next to a generous C-shaped sofa that can comfortably seat up to eight people. A second area for socialising, in the bow, features a sun-pad and facing sofas, designed for a totally relaxing and private sea experience. Both the cockpit and the sun-pad in the bow can be effectively shaded by awnings attached to the T-Top structure and supported by carbon fibre poles, improving onboard comfort during the hottest time of day. The wet bar is fully customised to suit the owner’s preferences and can be fitted with two 85-litre refrigerators, an ice maker and a barbecue, grill or induction hobs, as well as a spacious compartment for tableware. Completing the outdoor experience is the almost six-square-metre stern platform featuring a retractable swim ladder and a tender lift system. The interiors are designed to offer comfort and bright spaces, with a master cabin part of an open-plan layout that can be separated completely from the living area by a door ensuring complete privacy for the owner. An optional second separate cabin can specified at midships, with two single beds and storage units along the wall. The entire sleeping area is flooded with light that pours in through the new hull and deck windows. In terms of performance at sea, the Gozzo 42 lives up to the high standards set by all Apreamare boats, with a the variable-geometry hull with skegs designed for either a conventional in-line shaft drive or a Volvo Penta IPS system. The Apreamare Gozzo 42 is powered by Volvo 380 or 480hp with line line shaft or IPS pod drives. Top speeds are 27 knots for Volvo 380hp and line shaft propulsion, and go up to 36 knots with twin Volvo 480hp with IPS pod propulsion.
