Projects: Greenline 50 Fly, Greenline 50 Coupe
Greenline Yachts has unveiled project designs for the 50 model set to be available in both Fly, and Coupe version as rendered below. The 50 will replace the existing Greenline 48, which has been one of the yard’s top-sellers for more than a decade. While the new Greenline 50 serves a similar segment of the market, it will be bigger, sleeker and include a host of new features. The first hull in the new Greenline 50 Fly is already nearing the end of its build process, with launch at Portoroz, Slovenia scheduled for late summer. Every new yacht draws lessons from its predecessors, so the Greenline 50 is a clear evolution of the brand’s DNA and celebrated design language. Its tall, safe bulwarks, the dynamic swept-back superstructure, bright spaces and flexible hybrid drives are all pure Greenline. Like its predecessor the new Greenline 50 offers three versatile cabins that can be arranged as twins or doubles, and up to three bathrooms. The main deck offers comfortable one-level living, with no steps between the cockpit and the saloon, which is bathed in natural light thanks to generous dimensions and all-round glazing. But the Greenline 50 also features a wealth of small details which carry the brand forward. Owners will enjoy more choice over interior materials and finishes than ever before, plus a comprehensive options list that ranges from electronics to appliances. Greenline’s versatile aft deck area has been turbocharged, with more spacious options than in previous models. Choose between a vast storage space for the tender and toys, or an additional cabin for a crew member. Opting for storage, the whole aft deck seating area swings open to give access from the bathing platform. As crew accommodation, on the other hand, the port side access through the transom is filled to create standing headroom below. The first Greenline 50 is built in the Fly model, with a generous flybridge. Together with the battery bank and the solar panels, the yacht’s hotel operations can run on silent electric power for extended periods, depending on conditions. The system can be seamlessly combined with Greenline’s 6G hybrid drive or efficient diesel engines for a serene boating experience. As with the Greenline 45 and the Greenline 58, the new Greenline 50 is also available in a Coupe version, with the flybridge replaced by hard-top.

Projects: Wajer 55 HT, Wajer 55 S
Having presented the second generation Wajer 55 in the fall of 2025, the Dutch boat builder updates the other versions; the 55 HT and 55 S models with the new changes of the second generation 55. These new versions keep the line of the first generation 55, with this second generation 55 bringing some skin deep updates. The second generation Wajer 55 is recognizable by some cosmetic details, from the air intakes which curve at the stern and are positioned under the rub rail, similar to the Wajer 77, and the bathing platform which extends from the hull. The 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. Above is pictured the Wajer 55 HT for hard-top version, which offers more convenient weather protection, while below is the 55 S walk-around center console version, which offers fore to aft easy to move deck space, but sacrifices cabin space, although this still does offer a four berths sleeping accommodation albeit a bit restricted in space.

Projects: Marcopolo Adventure Yachts MP10, Marcopolo Adventure Yachts MP12
If the segment of European modern style of boats sports cruisers which some call explorer was not hot enough, here comes Marcopolo Adventure Yachts who unveils its first two models: the MP10 picture above, and MP12 pictured below. The new Marcopolo Adventure Yachts comes from the Island of Sicily in Messina, shaped by the experience of Rosario Alcaro and the design expertise of the Roberto Delfanti Design Lab, and introduces a range that combines contemporary aesthetics, advanced technology and a strong spirit of exploration. Both models are available in day boat and more enclosed cruiser configurations. They could have been almost identical, given that they differ by only two metres in length, but the two Macropolo models display fundamentally different characteristics, further emphasised by the configurations selected for the Düsseldorf debut. The MP10 is an asymmetrical walkaround open model, favouring the port-side passageway and featuring a substantial hardtop that shelters both the helm station and the galley module. The MP12, presented in a cruiser layout, offers an interior arrangement including a second lounge, a galley module and the helm station. Both sport cruisers are powered by outboard engines, chosen specifically to boost performance, agility, and ease of handling. The MP12 can be fitted with up to three 450hp engines, while the MP10 can carry a maximum of twin 450hp outboards. Both MP10 and MP12 feature fold-down bulwarks that expand the aft deck, together with a distinctive and practical structure surrounding the outboard area, topped by a robust roll-bar with integrated safety gates protecting the swim platforms. The MP12’s larger twelve meters dimensions allow for a configurable aft open space, featuring a generous sun-pad whose foldable backrest can be positioned facing the welcoming dinette, where two extendable tables allow for a substantial number of guests. Below deck, the MP12 offers a versatile layout with a configurable dinette area, a forward double berth with two large wardrobes, a bathroom with separate shower, and two aft single berths. Two comfortable side decks provide easy access to the MP12’s foredeck, thoughtfully laid out with a large sun-pad and two seats that convert it into a welcoming relaxation area. The more compact MP10 offers an aft deck with dinette sofa whose backrest can both tilt and fold down, serving either as seating for the table or convertible into a sun-pad. The MP10 also offers excellent interior accommodation for its size, with a forward dinette optionally fitted with a sofa-bed, an aft double berth, all complemented by a spacious bathroom with shower. The MP10 features a generous forward sun-pad. Both Marcopolo Adventure Yachts are characterized, from a color and décor perspective, by light, airy tones below deck, while the hull and deck are finished in Steel Grey, highlighted by a wide black band along the hull. The yachts’ upholstery uses Space Shell, an innovative material from aerospace and motorsport. Its ability to limit heat transfer makes it ideal for high-contact areas like sun-pads and seating. Interiors are trimmed in Dinamica, a technical, automotive-derived fabric valued for its lightness, durability, and soft touch. The hulls, developed using advanced Computational Fluid Dynamics ensure stability and balance even at high speeds: the MP10 features a hull with two steps, while the MP12 incorporates three. Construction at 3AF Shipyard uses high-quality fiberglass layers to ensure structural and mechanical strength without compromising overall lightness. On the MP12, carbon fibre is also used in the uprights and hardtop, further optimizing the balance between weight and strength. Both models reflect the brand’s focus on sustainability and efficiency, replacing traditional materials with next-generation composites. The hull structures are built from recycled PET, a thermoplastic that combines lightness, strength and reduced environmental impact. Bulkheads and selected furniture components use honeycomb polypropylene, a high-tech material derived from aerospace and automotive sectors. Its cellular structure provides both rigidity and flexibility, enhancing comfort and reducing overall weight. Every detail, from materials to hull geometry, results from precise 3D analysis of weight distribution and structural loads, with a goal to achieve the perfect balance of strength, efficiency and lightness, at the core of Marcopolo Adventure Yachts.

Projects: ISA Yachts Sportivo 100, ISA Yachts Sportivo 120, ISA Yachts Sportivo 140
ISA Yachts presents the new Sportivo line with the three 100, 120 and 140 projects. The design aims at a dominating combination of sporty lines typical of the coupé automotive world and interiors characterized by large volumes and an extremely contemporary imprint. All three models are designed by the effervescent creativity of Enrico Gobbi – Team for Design, with naval engineering by Palumbo Superyachts. The Sportivo 100 pictured above is the entry level of the rangge bringing a perfect fusion of extreme speed and refined aesthetics, a thirty meters masterpiece by Enrico Gobbi – Team for Design that redefines the concept of a performance yacht. With its sleek lines and construction in GRP and carbon fibre, every voyage becomes a pure pleasure experience. Eight guests are welcomed in four elegant cabins, looked after by a crew of four, ensuring impeccable service at all times. The ISA Yachts Sportivo 100 is powered by triple MAN 2000hp with jet propulsion for estimated top speeds up to 44 knots and a cruise of 34.
The ISA Sportivo 120 stands in the middle of the range, and with its 36 meters adopts the philosophy of the smaller 100 and the 140 flagship and can accommodate eight guests in four comfortable cabins with private bathrooms. It is endowed with a Jacuzzi in the bow and a sizeable and versatile sun deck. Powered by triple 2600hp MTU's the Sportivo 120 can reach a maximum speed of 36 knots, a fast cruise of thirty, and of up to 550 nautical miles at twelve knots.
The ISA Sportivo 140 is the flagship of a line identified by extremely high-quality construction, large external spaces and a fairly restrained superstructure. An innovative element is the forward looking military windshield designed to push the superstructure further. Definitely a yacht with a sporty look and futuristic details that combines a clean design with sophisticated modern furnishings and a Mediterranean flair. Standing at the stern, we immediately notice an open cockpit thanks to three large terraces that slope towards the sea and where, starting from the top, are respectively placed: the living area with sofa, chairs and a sizeable sunbathing area, the swimming pool with relaxation bench overlooking the sea and natural-stone effect passageway, and finally the platform under the sun. The bow hides a proper relaxation area with fireplace and Jacuzzi which can be alternatively transformed into a cinema room. The upper deck has been stretched to its maximum to fit naturally into the sleek line of this model. Certainly, one of the largest in its category to ensure maximum liveability and versatility, it includes a dining area for 10 people, a spacious living area with sofa, bar and a second relaxation area positioned at the bow. The interiors are rich in leather, lacquered wood and metal panels, all combined with a different pop of color for each area. The main salon opens onto the bar and then gives way to the sofas and dining area. The large fully opening floor/ceiling windows combined with the balcony, which can also be opened on the port side, provide an exceptionally enjoyable sea view. The owner suite is located amidships to optimize the maximum beam of almost nine metres and includes a walk-in closet with vanity, double bathroom with large central shower, sofa on the port side and opposite lounge area fitted with floor/ceiling windows combined with large opening terrace. Three double cabins plus the captain’s cabin will accommodate the seven members of crew. The tender is housed in the garage located on the port side. The ISA Yachts Sportivo 140 is powered by twin 44613hp MTUs will push the Sportivo 140 to a maximum speed of 32 knots and a cruising speed of 26 knots.

Projects: Benetti B.Now 52M, Benetti B.Loft 58M
Benetti's steel legacy announces the two new projects for the B.Now 52M and the B.Loft 58M. Pictured above is the B.Now 52M project, with exteriors by RWD and interiors designed by Valentina Zannier. The B.Now 52M is a replacement and reinterpretation of the B.Now 50M, one of the most successful models in the family, which has sold 21 units in just a few years, an absolute record in this size category. The revolution stems from the desire to reimagine the spaces, not only by increasing the size of the hull, but also through innovative interior design that breaks with tradition to promote a harmonious flow between the various areas. The Oasis Deck® is 30% larger than the previous version, extending over a surface area of 130 square metres and extending a full 15 metres of space from the stern to the lounge entrance. The larger and completely redesigned pool incorporates a retractable cover system that transforms the area into a spacious platform on the water with a magical atmosphere. While the exterior has been redesigned to offer generous spaces, the real heart of the project can be found on the Main Deck: entering through the lounge door, a continuous 48-metre pathway extends right up to the panoramic bow terrace, offering uninterrupted views. Here, the layout amplifies the sense of space by eliminating the external starboard side corridor, which is now integrated within the interiors in a new solution featuring huge, glazed surfaces. The larger internal staircase, positioned in the centre of the new open space, becomes a design feature, while the dining room, now located at the bow, is flooded by light entering through floor-to-ceiling windows. On the Upper Deck, the elimination of the external staircase up to the terrace creates a new area entirely reserved for the owner; 110 square metres split between the master cabin and the private terrace.
The Benetti B.Loft 58M project is like its bigger seven meter B.Loft 65M sister designed by Giorgio Cassetta, retaining the distinctive features and contemporary architectural language inspired by large villas and modern lofts. The experience on board starts with the Cabana, a shaded area that can be open or closed, right on the water's edge, offering a new and original interpretation of the beach club. The side wings swing out to create a 120-square-metre bathing platform stretching over fifteen metres wide. An indoor and outdoor space on the water, where the light reflecting from the pool on the terrace above envelops this convivial and relaxing setting. The loft experience is characterised by the panoramic Sky Lounge on the Upper Deck, which extends across over seventy square metres and has a remarkable ceiling height of 3.5 metres. The large glass side walls offer an unobstructed view of the horizon, while a wide sliding door opens onto an outdoor area with sea views. Both the sleek, elegant exterior styling and interiors featuring generous proportions and a wealth of functions are by Cassetta Yacht Designers.

Projects: Solaris Power 52 Open ST, Solaris Power 60 Open ST
Solaris Power has for the fall 2025 boat shows announced the new Open - High Windshield range, and presented the projects for the two bigger models, the 52 and 60 Open to receive this treatment. In this new version the two Solaris Power 52 Open ST pictured on top, and 60 Open ST pictured below feature a full height windshield, this giving full wind protection forward. Another new detais in the Open ST's is the extended T-top in length and to aft, which now gives ampler shade from the sun, all enhanced by the elegance that defines every Solaris Power. For the remaining both the Solaris Power's 52 and 60 Open ST keep the semi-custom fundamentals of the Open models; three layout choices for the main deck, and four lower deck options offering two or three cabin layouts in the 52 Open ST. While the 60 Open ST has two main deck choices, and three lower deck options, in three or two cabin versions.

Projects: Sunseeker 74 Ocean, Sunseeker 74 Ocean Enclosed
Although presenting itself with no novelties at the 2025 Cannes boat show, Sunseeker showed its future plans, and presented the next model to the Ocean range with the introduction of the 74 Ocean. The 74 Ocean is the third model of the cross-over explorer yacht Ocean series, which debuted with the 90 Ocean in 2021. The first and to date largest model of Sunseeker Ocean series has been a success with 34 units delivered so far, and was followed in 2024 with the 82 Ocean Enclosed, so it is understandable to see Sunseeker expand the range further with the 74 Ocean project. Unlike its bigger sisters the new 74 Ocean comes with new features not found in its larger sisters. The most important is that the 74 Ocean is to have fold-down balconies which expand the large aft bathing platform to a larger beach area with seamless connection to the sea, while the second is that it will be powered by Volvo 900 or 1000hp engines with IPS pod propulsion. For the remaining the Sunseeker 74 Ocean brings the features of the larger Ocean 82 and 90 in a more compact size, from the expansive and deep bathing platform, uninterrupted living main deck with large galley dinning, and relaxing lounge fore deck all serviced by ceiling to floor windows, and one of the largest flybridge in the category. Below deck, the 74 Ocean reveals a full-beam master cabin complete with a private en-suite, with three further guest cabins, each with their own en-suite, including the choice to have a VIP suite forward with it private deck. Dedicated crew accommodation for two, with discreet access from the side decks and direct entry to the engine room, preserves guest privacy on every voyage. A crew cabin for two is located at midships in between the master and engine room.
The Sunseeker 74 Ocean Enclosed will be near identical to the open bridge sister, with the difference of a part wide body enclosed climate controlled raised bridge. This version offers a comfortable alternative second enclosed social space separate from the main deck entertaining areas, which can also be spec'd with the optional glazed opening roof that allows an open-air atmosphere. The 74 Ocean Enclosed flybridge offers a free aft deck space, with the inside featuring an L-shaped saloon with desk unit opposite, dual seat helm station to starboard, with dual port and starboard doors leading you to a forward located sun-pad. Designed for the exterior inhouse, the Sunseeker 74 Ocean features interior by Design Unlimited, who bring the latest in contemporary finishes and fabrics.

Projects: Princess C48, Princess C48 Open
In Summer Princess started to tease about this new C-class range, and in Cannes the announcement finally arrived, for the C48 available in two versions; the standard deck saloon, and the Open version, with this last set to debut at Fort Lauderdale boat show in the fall of 2026, and DS version in Dusseldorf on January 2027. The C48 is exterior designed by Bernard Olesinki and the Princess design team led by Andy Lawrence, with hull design coming from Michael Peters who brings his patented Stepped Vee Ventilated hull. Princess entering the center console market is big news, with the C48 also becoming the fastest boat to come from Plymouth to date, estimated to reach 54 knots with the top option of triple Mercury 600hp set up. The other power options are standard triple Mercury 400hp outboard for speeds up to 44 knots, and inboard stern drive of twin 480hp estimated giving speeds up to 34 knots. The Princess C48 will offer a lower deck sleeping four, with a lot of options for the forward area; standard is a U-shaped dinette, and this can be optioned a double berth in open or enclosed with door becoming a separate forward cabin. To midships is also a second cabin with double berth. A mini galley on entrance to port side, and a spacious head with enclosed shower completes the cabin accommodation. For the main deck the C for center console C48 is a full walk around but dynamics and cockpit layout are very different in between the C48 Open or the Deck Saloon version. The C48 Open is a Euro walk-around made for the American market; central sun-pad, opposite settee dinette, exterior galley, and triple seats center helm station off-set that bit to starboard, to allow passage to the cabin entrance. In the Deck Saloon version; the sun-pad is replaced by opposite settee dinette, while inside the enclosed area is an L-shaped dinette to port side with a galley located opposite. Other options also include full height drop down balconies, which extend the length of the standard balconies of both port and starboard to the bathing platform. To be fair I see this a stupid useless option, which also disturbs production efficiency and costs. A fair note is also to be made on the inboard-stern drive version which also features an up-down bathing platform option and also offers a larger bathing area.

Projects: Dynamiq Global 450, Dynamiq Global 550
In a private event in Monaco at Maison Moghadam on third July Dynamiq presented its road map moving forward, with the showcasing of five projects. Two of the projects presented were the Global 450 and Global 550, as pictured above and below respectively. Both of these super yachts are designed by Dobroserdov for exterior, with naval architecture by Vripack, with interiors by British designer Mark Berryman. Berryman has also been given duties to re-invent the interior of the GTT135. Both of these 45 and 55 meters super yachts will offer similar basic specification; ten guests accommodation in five suites, and a top speed of fifteen knots, with a cruise of ten knots offering a 4500 nautical mile range for the Global 450, and five thousand nautical miles for the Global 550.
Dynamiq has always been about ultra modern cutting edge looking super yachts since the debut of the GTT130 in 2016, but this new Global 550 definitely brings something fresh and unusual to super yachting. With its aircraft carrier looking profile the 550 is so different not only to other Dynamiq's, but also to the smaller sister's of the Global Series. This Global 550 was first presented with an interior by Zrobim, and has now been presented with a new interior by Mark Berryman. Dynamiq did not say if any of these yachts are under construction, but noted that if a future owner wants to present a different designer for the interior, they are happy to do so.

Projects: Beneteau Swift Trawler 37 Fly, Beneteau Swift Trawler 37 Sedan
Beneteau presents the project for a Swift Trawler 37, to be available in both Fly and Sedan versions. Designed by Dixon for both naval architecture and lines, the Beneteau Swift Trawler 37 comes as a replacement to the 34, replacing the model as the entry level to the explorer semi-planning cruisers series of the French builder. For the Swift Trawler 37, Dixon presented an eye catching design bring in features from the larger Grand Trawler 62 model, like the wood inserts in the top deck profile, and forward raked forward windshield, and a soft use of asymmetry, where the flybridge is extended and the side deck is all deep to the starboard side. For the Swift Trawler 37 Fly with flybridge configuration, the raised helm position is located to starboard, with a social u-shaped settee opposite this also featuring a forward-adaptive backrest, table and built-in cool-box. For the interior the Swift Trawler 37 welcomes you inside with complimentary u-shaped galley and sofa creating the sense of space. This is supported by significant storage options and a large fridge & freezer option. The sofa quickly converts into a double bunk with privacy curtain. Alongside the help, we have introduced an innovative lift-up table that smartly converts into a comfy work station. Down below, the focus is on the roomy owner cabin, as well as the main bathroom which has a Jack and Jill set of doors, working also an en-suite for the master cabin and features a separate shower cubicle. The galley and bathroom feature Corian worksurfaces as standard, while the new décor and comfort Luxe pack can further enhance life on board. A second guest cabin with twin bunk berths is located to port side.
The Beneteau Swift Trawler 37 Sedan is all but identical to the 37 Fly, with the difference that you have no fly bridge up top. Still Beneteau has put this area to good use, introducing the concept of adaptive floorspace. Where can set up this space to suit your needs. The open platform, accessed via the inbuilt stair unit, can easily accommodate sun loungers, shading and tables for the ideal socialising space. Or for those families with an abundance of gear and toys for water and land activities, can be used as an easily accessible storage area. The Beneteau Swift Trawler 37 also comes with a few options, from the optional Electric Skylights to the Silent Boat option, which adds solar panels for clean energy. The Beneteau Swift Trawler 37 is to be powered by twin 220hp engines with line shaft propulsion.
