Saxdor Yachts, one the fastest-growing brand in the global boating industry, is thrilled to announce the world premiere of the 460 GTC at boot Düsseldorf 2026, taking place from seventeen to 25 January. The launch of the new flagship model stands as a defining milestone in the Finnish brand’s development, supporting its official entry into larger sport cruisers and yachts up to fifteen meters segment. Building on experience gained across its fleet and from valuable owner and market feedback, Saxdor has developed the new 460 GTC as a natural evolution of the successful 400 series by elevating the brand’s signature strengths and introducing new features and solutions that create a level of comfort and refinement usually found on larger yachts.  At the heart of this evolution is the 460 GTC closed-open concept: the enclosed, all-season wheelhouse opens seamlessly to the exterior, ensuring uninterrupted circulation from the bow lounge to the aft deck. Dual-opening side doors allow the wheelhouse to merge naturally with the outdoors, while a large galley enhances the onboard experience with ample facilities for cooking and entertaining. Forward of the galley, an innovative two-part door solution provides access to the large convertible foredeck lounge through an upper section that lifts and slides into the roof enabling the lower section to hinge open. Aft, a half-height window paired with a port-side door opens the saloon to the expansive open-air cockpit, enhancing the sense of space and connection with the water. This seamless connection between interiors and exteriors is reinforced by the yacht’s outdoor living areas, designed to complement the interiors and offer new ways to relax and gather on board. Saxdor’s signature “private island” feeling is enhanced through the largest fold-down terraces in this class, which create a generous open platform directly above the water. New elements across the terraces introduce fresh ways to enjoy the outdoors, bringing added versatility and comfort to life on board. The aft deck has also been refined with new configurable options, opening up additional space for relaxing, gathering, and entertaining. Scaling up in size without compromising performance, the 460 GTC remains unmistakably Saxdor. A wide range of Mercury power options, from triple V8-300 engines up to twin V12-600s, allows owners to tailor the 460 GTC’s performance to their needs, with top configurations also offering the advanced Fathom® e-power system from Navico. Saxdor was in fact the first boatbuilder outside the U.S. to adopt this integrated lithium-ion auxiliary power management solution, which sets a new benchmark in onboard energy efficiency. The new 460 GTC has been thoughtfully designed to appeal to today’s varied boating lifestyles: from boaters looking to upgrade, experienced owners seeking a more agile and owner-operated yacht, to those who value social, comfortable time on the water, the 460 GTC delivers the space, refinement, and effortless usability that define the next generation of Saxdor range.

Project: Aiata Sunfinder 38

Aiata a brand founded by the Anadolu Group from Turkey follow its debut at the 2025 Dusseldorf boat show of the Wayfinder 38, with the more open Sunfinder 38.  Again a design from Jarkko Jämsén and his Navia Design Studio the Sunfinder 38 is an open version of the Wayfinder 38 replacing the fully enclosed hard-top with a central T-Top .  While many may think this is Wayfinder 38 Suntop version, in many cases it is correct with the exception that the hard-top has been extended giving extra sun cover to the aft part of the cockpit.  With this change the exterior main deck of the Aiata Sunfinder 38 offers a more open and sport layout.  A triple seat centre console helm now replaces the offset dual seat, with a galley located behind versus the one to side and L-shape of the Wayfinder 38, and an astern dinette with opposite settees.  Saying all, what I just said can change as the Aiata 38 comes with a modular construction, and specified during build.  For example the settee behind the helm station can be specified as an L-shape, and the fore deck layout is also available in four different versions; Camper, Sofa, U Sofa, and Sunbed.  The cabin layout with entrance to port of the helm, features a double berth, and shower head to starboard.  The Aiata Sunfinder 38 is powered by twin outboard engines from 300hp up to 400hp, with top speeds up to 46 knots from twin 350hp Mercury outboards.

Project: Bluegame BGX83

Bluegame proudly announces the global debut of its new flagship, the BGX83 the next anticipated evolution of the BGX range which debuted in 2019 with the BGX70 model. Bigger, bolder, extra functional and more luxurious than ever, BGX83 represents the pinnacle of a design journey that has redefined contemporary yachting, and is tol be unveiled at the upcoming 2026 Dusseldorf boat show which opens on the second week of January.  BGX83 embodies the pinnacle of owner-centric design, combining unprecedented volumes with uncompromising functionality. The architecture of BGX83 gains significant space and volume compared to its predecessors, particularly in the stern. The signature beach area evolves into a bigger open-air lounge: in addition to the hydraulic up-and-down platform, the yacht now features a starboard side opening, expanding the width and completing the area’s connection to the sea. This connection extends inward. The aft salon, located at water level, links directly to the beach area, creating a seamless flow between exterior and interior. This layout allows the aft salon to serve as a private extension of the owner’s suite. The full-beam master cabin, spanning an impressive 6.3 meters in width, connects directly to this salon, offering the owner a superyacht-level apartment where one feels already outdoors. On the same level, two or three VIP cabins, depending on the chosen layout, offer generous dimensions that top their category competitors. Well-designed, discreet crew quarters ensure impeccable service and onboard efficiency. Moving to the main deck, Bluegame leverages an asymmetric design, featuring a single staircase on the starboard side, to maximize the dining area. This creates space for a customizable outdoor bar and kitchen unit, adding a further layer of personalization for the owner. Inside, the upper salon impresses with 360-degree glazing and two large opposing sofas, a layout choice that immediately conveys the perception of a superior class yacht. The new Bluegame BGX flagship stands as a testament to a powerful creative synergy between four defining figures in the industry; Luca Santella the Bluegame founder and concept creator, Louis T. Codega taking care of hull design and naval architecture, Zuccon responsible for exterior design, and Piero Lussoni who designed the interiors. Bluegame BGX83 first hull is powered by triple Volvo 900hp engines with forward looking IPS pod drives, driving the yacht to a max speed of thirty knots and a cruise of 28.

Galeon have announced the new 520 Fly project.  A replacement to the 500 Fly after a decade in production, very little is known of this new 520 Fly project, except that it is designed by long standing Galeon designer Tony Castro.  The 500 Fly debuted Galeon today signature drop down terraces in 2015, and while not new at the time, the Polish yacht maker was the first to introduce this on cruisers rather then sports boats or mega yachts. The idea proved a winner, as the drop down balconies are now featured on nearly all Galeon's above thirteen meters.  The 520 Fly features more of everything, so except bigger transforming terraces, and as the above rendering shows more glazed surfaces, and a larger flybridge hard-top supported by an aft looking spoiler.

Project: Cantiere delle Marche RAW 110

 

Cantiere delle Marche announce the keel laying of RAW 110.  Announced as a RAW 102 project in the fall of 2024, the project was extended by two meters aft to become the RAW 110 for the first in the new semi-custom series as designed by Giorgio M. Cassetta The keel laying of a yacht is a highly symbolic and significant milestone in the construction process, as it marks the moment when the vessel truly begins to take shape. The keel forms the structural backbone of the yacht, the very foundation upon which every other component will be built. In maritime tradition, this ceremony represents the birth of the ship, embodying the beginning of its journey from a design or dream into a tangible reality. It is often seen as the foundation of “everything,” symbolizing strength, stability, and the promise of the vessel’s future life at sea. RAW’s keel laying was no exception, and it was a deeply emotional and joyful private ceremony. When asked about the features that attracted him most, the Owner said that much appreciated was the refreshing aesthetics crafted by Cassetta, with whom an immediate affinity was felt. From a functional point of view, extremely generous liveable spaces and volumes, and the seamless connection between large indoor and outdoor spaces were winning points, alongside the yacht’s technical reliability. Among his early requests, already anticipated in the design, was the inclusion of a large tender and ample storage space for multiple toys at the bow. Additionally, he wanted to enjoy biking, his favorite sport, even while on holiday aboard his yacht. To accommodate this, several bicycles will be stored in a dedicated, easily accessible area on the aft beach, enclosed by bulwarks.

Guido de Groot and the owner inspired himself to sports cars, presenting a streamlined profile with a volume of over 499 Gross Tonnage This efficiency along with an impressive performance will be achieved by deploying Van Oossanen Naval Architects fast displacement hull form. An aft-mounted underwater foil called a Hull Vane will significantly reduce drag and fuel consumption while ensuring a transpacific range of over 4,400 nautical miles. The main aft deck flows to a large sea terrace with fold-down bulwarks opening on three sides. Retractable self-levelling swim stairs ensure easy access to and from the water. Electric sliding doors lead to a spacious toy store, fully equipped with eFoil boards, Seabobs, wakeboards and more. As befits a family yacht, a generous bow lounge offers a serene spot to enjoy the breeze underway or at anchor, while a spa pool is perfect for a sunset soak. The bow deck garage will house a MOB tender, with a 6.25-metre Williams DieselJet and jetski stored in a lower deck garage. An expansive split-level sundeck includes dedicated aft area for sunbathing and socialising. Beneath the hardtop forward is an open-air lounge with wet bar, grill, seating and alfresco dining. This emphasis on relaxed family living continues on the main deck, where the aft main salon flows into a welcoming country kitchen. The main deck offers a generous forward full-beam owner’s suite as well as a unique surprise: a full-beam wellness area featuring a gym to port and a yoga room to starboard. Other highlights in Project ZEN are the way large windows maintain a close connection to the sea, and the wide, gently sloping staircases. The interior style will be homey and casual chic with practical finishes. Van der Valk is to be powered by twin MAN 1450hp for top speeds up to seventeen knots and a cruise of sixteen.

Project: Sanlorenzo 58Steel

Five years after redefining the language of steel yachts, Sanlorenzo writes the next chapter in its story of evolution with the debut of the 58Steel, a refined and extended successor to the acclaimed 57Steel. Featuring an all-new diesel-electric hybrid propulsion system and a reimagined concept of onboard space, 58Steel embodies the brand’s philosophy of elegance, proportion and innovation. This is superyacht design, not just made to measure but made for tomorrow. When Sanlorenzo launched its first steel yacht in 2010, it redefined expectations of what steel construction could be, combining strength with elegance, restraint and proportion. Today, the brand’s impressive steel line has become the most defined in the segment under two thousand Gross Tonnage segment. Now, the new 58Steel, designed by Zuccon for the exteriors, represents a further evolution of this legacy; one metre longer, yet infinitely more versatile. With a completely new platform, an expanded beam of just under eleven metres and the introduction of diesel-electric hybrid technology, enabling zero-emissions cruising, it unlocks greater space, efficiency and silence. While drawing inspiration from the 57Steel design, 58Steel evolves it completely, offering interior volumes comparable to those of a 64-meter mega yacht. Every aspect has been conceived with flexibility and personalisation in mind, offering an onboard experience tailored entirely around the owner’s lifestyle. Expansive volumes and customisable layouts deliver the comfort of a larger yacht, with two full-beam VIP cabins on the Lower deck and a Supreme VIP on the Main deck. The Upper deck transforms into a secluded owner’s sanctuary: a panoramic suite with pool, office, dressing area, and a lounge convertible into a private cinema, the perfect configuration also for charter purposes. At the stern, the beach club opens on three sides to create a floating terrace, complete with bar, hammam, gym, and beauty salon, a space designed for connection to the sea through light, silence and simplicity.  At the heart of the 58Steel lies a revolutionary diesel-electric propulsion system, the first of its kind in Sanlorenzo’s steel line. This new configuration marks a decisive step towards sustainability, reducing emissions by around 10% compared with conventional propulsion and enabling up to two hours of silent cruising or up to eight hours of zero-emissions hotel operation while at anchor. The system is based on five 425kW generators and a 1MWh capacity battery pack. Its modular design enhances efficiency and flexibility, while azimuthal pods with rotating propellers improve manoeuvrability and reduce vibration and noise. The entire engine room has been re-engineered to occupy a single deck, freeing up more than 40m² of additional space — a remarkable achievement that has been repurposed to expand the guest and beach areas.  As Sanlorenzo celebrates fifteen years of leadership in steel yacht design, the launch of 58Steel reaffirms the brand’s pioneering role in redefining the 55 to 60 metres segment. It stands as a testament to a philosophy where innovation and elegance are inseparable, where technology serves emotion, and craftsmanship meets conscience.

Project: Numarine 27XP

Numarine, the renowned builder of efficient explorer yachts presents the 27XP project. An evolution on her successful predecessor, the Numarine 26XP, of which thirty hulls are currently cruising oceans worldwide, the 27XP offers greater length, expanded volume and a creatively reimagined, flexible design. With an overall length of 27 metres, the elegantly designed explorer super yacht is instantly recognisable as a natural evolution of the XP series. Its sharp and commanding exterior lines are courtesy of Numarine’s collaborative designer, Can Yalman, who is also responsible for the vessel’s interiors. The 27XP’s robust naval architecture is by Umberto Tagliavini. Accommodation will be for eight or ten guests, plus two crew cabins for a four-person crew, the 27XP provides plenty of flexibility where layout is concerned. For owners seeking a five-cabin configuration, the 27XP provides a main deck VIP cabin, with three full VIP suites in total, alongside a dramatically expanded full-beam master suite below complete with a spacious bathroom and walk-in closet, and a generous additional guest cabin. All cabins benefit from oversized sea-view windows, immersing guests in natural light and establishing a clear connection with the ocean surroundings. When the four cabin option is chosen, the wheelhouse is placed on the main deck, in contrast with the five cabin option, which places its wheelhouse on an enclosed flybridge. The 27XP provides numerous upgrades compared to her predecessor, including an expanded galley and dining offering. In particular, the open kitchen concept creates a contemporary, social atmosphere, delivering a true ‘big yacht’ feel, notwithstanding the size of this pocket explorer. Designed to provide exceptional outdoor living, other standout areas on board include her raised bow lounge, where lounge seating has been elevated to provide clearer views of the horizon and surrounding nature, as well as her supersized flybridge. Even longer and wider than the one found on board the 26XP, the flybridge provides a phenomenal space for entertaining, relaxation and open-air enjoyment. Unsurprisingly for a builder renowned for the exploration capabilities of its yachts, the 27XP leaves nothing to be desired where performance is concerned. With power provided by twin MAN 560 engines, the 27XP has a top speed of 13.5 knots, a cruising speed of 10 knots and a maximum range of 2,200 nautical miles at eight knots. As an added bonus, she also offers the options of a completely enclosed, glass flydeck helm area, ensuring navigation and leisure in absolute comfort for voyages in cooler or more temperate climates.
