Projects: Arturo Stabile 43 Stama, Arturo Stabile 33HT Stama

The Italian, from the Island of Sicily Arturo Stabile builder presents two important projects set to complete its Sport Cruiser range. Pictured above is the totally new 43 Stama. At thirteen metres this project sits between the 50 Stama launched in early 2009, and the today long standing 37 HT Stama. Design for the 43 Stama project has been entrusted again just like the 50 flagship to Tommaso Spadolini with help coming from the family with Maurizio Stabile. The two designers presented a hard top sport cruiser with low height super structure. So far few details are given about accommodation plan but a three double cabins with a total six berths are to be found with owners room to mid ship. The hard top will be with a patio door which with the assumption that two large cabins are located below should provide a living area; galley and saloon with dining facilities on the main deck . Power and propulsion choices have also not been announced but a range of options from a total of 600 to 900hp is to be featured. The second project from Arturo Stabile is the 33HT Stama, which builds on the features of the standard open top 33 Stama sport cruiser and adds a hard top. So you get the two double cabins below, convertible dinette, and the galley. The cockpit which is a split level area with three L-shaped settee gets novelty thanks to the cover of full weather protection offered by the hard top. The hard top covers half of the aft deck which means the raised area is now protected from rain or too much sun. Unusual for a builder Arturo Stabile is also offering to retro fit the hard top to previous produced, standard 33 Stama open models. Power is for four choices all with stern drive propulsion. The smallest is a twin 200hp diesel choice, going up to a 310hp petrol gas. www.cantieristabile.it

Projects: Benetti Class 93 Delfino, Benetti Class 105 Tradition, Benetti Class 121 Classic, Benetti Class 140 Crystal, Benetti Class 145 Vision

For 2010 legendary super yacht builder Benetti decides to overhaul its semi custom fiberglass line into the new Class Range. A change which is in some models is deeper to others, one being totally new, and the remaining being a more make up modification effecting windows and light design touches. A model which is semi new, is surely the 93 Delfino pictured above, which is based on the 85 introduced in 2007. The 93 Delfino keeps the two and a half deck layout, and adds more classic Benetti styling. The interior of the 93 Delfino is very spacious in standard plan being a full five cabins layout, with owners stateroom on the main deck. The project of the Class 105 Tradition replaces the 100 Tradition and is a make up change over for this five cabins, two and a half deck medium sized Super Yacht. As the above rendering shows most of the change represent greater window surface areas and more cleaner and leaner lines. The Classic has been the Benetti which started the fiberglass built line in 2000 for this legendary yachting name. The first Classic was a 35 metre, and later on a slightly larger 120 model based on the same hull was introduced. Today, ten years after its first launch the Classic has been delivered in about fifty units, a super success in a semi custom super yacht. The 121 Classic will be the third series for this hull which has proved to be Super not just in size, but most importantly in sales number for the yachting industry in general. The 140 Crystal is a totally new project for Benetti, and will be a three deck super yacht. A five cabin interior which seems to be a characteristic of all Benetti's is the standard plan for this second largest of the semi custom Class range. Design for this model is entrusted as all the line to Stefano Righini, with interior by Francois Zuretti.

The Benetti Class 145 Vision represents a further evolution of the 140 Vision with light changes to the lines, and a complete new set of windows. So far the 145 Vision is the biggest fiberglass built by the Azimut Benetti Group. Design is again trusted to Righini, with interior for owners and guests by Francois Zuretti. Again the Vision series has proved to be another winner for what is considered the biggest Super Yacht builder in the world with the 140 selling over ten units in a just a couple years time.

Projects: Prestige 400 Flybridge, Prestige 350 Flybridge

Prestige will present a huge revamp to its models line with new projects and changes to current boats expected to happen in all the range. Pictured above is the 400 Flybridge which is to my understanding a further development of the 39 introduced in 2009. Such a fast change is surprising considering this is a new model only in its infancy. May be the Prestige 39 did not bring the desired sales, but I am sure that we will never know the real answer to this question. What the 400 surely offers is a more sport, sleek and elegant looks with the side windows being fully integrated and ending to the sides of the flybridge. The 400 designed by Garroni above the waterline, and under shape by acclaimed US architect Michael Peters follows themes of spaces characterized with huge views on the seas. The interior will offer a twin cabin en suited layout below, plus an extra two berths available from converting the upper saloon. Power is from standard twin 330hp, or optional 380hp Cummins. Prestige presents the project for its new entry level model the 350 Flybridge. Designed as all the line by Garroni, with hull by J&J and concept by Premorei, the 350 Flybridge follows a style similar to the 60 flagship and also to the new 400 above. A comfortable flybridge cruiser with a lower deck with two cabins and the always much in demand big view windows. The accommodation plan of the 350 will be an owners double to fore, a two single which converts to a double guest, and a shower head. A C-shaped saloon which also becomes an extra double berth, and a galley on the main deck complete the interior layout. The Prestige will also be powered by stern drive engines, with the builder claims a 30% better economy and for this to be the smallest flybridge motor cruiser. Actually Galeon offer this on the 330 since a few years now, and back in the eighties I also remember the Fairline 31 Corniche, or Gobbi 31 Cabin offering a flybridge with stern drive. Although thanks to new joystick technology I am sure the Prestige 350 Flybridge marina manoeuvring today will be much easier then in those times. Power will be from twin Volvo 220hp diesel engines.

Projects: Hatteras GT54, Hatteras GT63

Hatteras presents the projects of two new models which show the expanding of the new GT line, which will start with the launching of the GT60 this coming fall. Pictured above is the first of these new projects what will be the lightest, smallest of the Hatteras line the GT54. A completely new model versus the 54 Convertible which decreases a couple inches of overall length, but increases beam by over a feet versus the model it replaces. The beam addition adds space to the GT54 having a three double cabins with two heads lower deck. Construction continues Hatteras resin infusion method build which reduces weight and adds strength. The GT54 keeps on its Carolina style with a smooth shear line, dynamic bow flare, and a foredeck carefully balanced with the low super structure. Hull shape is the Hatteras convex bow variable Vee with deep propeller pockets aft. Power is from twin Cat engines with a standard 1150hp or optional 1600hp. This later option giving a 41 knots top speed. Hatteras design project team has been very busy lately and in less of a year time a total of three new models should be presented. The GT63 project pictured above is in my understanding a replacement of the 64 Convertible, although in the press release I received this does not say. If compared with the 64 the GT63 adds sixteen centimetres of more beam, looses the large hull view windows to mid ship, and will feature a standard four cabins three shower heads layout. The looks of the GT63 by the rendering above show also a more classic taste also thanks to the wooden stern, and a more higher bow. Hatteras has always approached a modern global Carolina design but always with a clean distinction like a soft bow flare, and a smooth shear line. Power which is an important part of the new GT series goes again above the forty plus barrier with the large Cats 1900hp option doing 41 knots of max and a 36 cruise. Another strong data of the new GT models is a 400 NM range. Unveiling of the GT63 is set for the 2011 Miami show in February. www.hatterasyachts.com

Projects: Ferretti 620, Ferretti 500

Ferretti presents two projects set to launch for the fiftieth edition of the Genoa boat show. These motor yachts projects feature two similar aspects, the most important is that they are both a further development of another model, and the second is that for the first time we see Ferretti repeating a model designation. Ferretti in fact produced a 620 from 2000 till 2005, and the 500 from 2003 till 2007. Pictured above is the 620 which replaces and reexamines the 2007 presented 592. We see differences surely in the addition of four extra large windows, an extended aft deck which has a central teak table and a passarelle to port side, a larger crew cabin now being full beam, and the change of the fuel tanks position which serve as insulation for the master stateroom to mid ship. The Ferretti 500 is a further development of the fall 2008 launched 470. Just like the 620 above the new 500 will be extended aft in the cockpit, and be added of more windows in the lower deck. These being a total of four large, two per side horizontal shaped opening port holes. As it is expected Ferretti and Zuccon keep the working successful elements on both these models, like the very sought astern looking galley, which thanks to the swinging window joins the interior with the exterior. For those new comers to the yacht scene Ferretti pioneered the swinging window back in the mid eighties.

Projects: Beneteau 34 Flyer Gran Turismo, Beneteau 38 Flyer Gran Turismo

Beneteau presents a new range with the new 38 and 34 Flyer Gran Turismo projects to make there debut at the fall of 2010. Pictured above is the smallest of the two new Flyer Gran Turismo the 34. Designed by Andreani the 34 will be based on the lines of the 32 Monte Carlo which in fact it will replace, but features an extended longer hard top, large view windows, and more spacious bathing platform. The 34 Flyer Gran Turismo will also feature a large U-shaped dinette to fore versus the L-shaped settee, single berth combination of the old 32. Below the water line on the living part of the 34, will be the much acclaimed patented Air-Step hull with extended plane aft. Pictured above is the larger of the new Flyer Gran Turimo the 38, which is also further development of the 37 Monte Carlo that it replaces. Again just as the 34 the difference here is for a longer extended hard top, bigger view windows outside, and expanded platform. Below the same theme for the 37 Monte Carlo is repeated with two cabins, an L-shaped saloon, and galley composing the accommodation area. Power for the Pierangelo Andreani designed Sport Cruiser which also features the patented Air-Step and extended plane hull will be from a maximum power of twin Volvo 300hp diesels. Launching is scheduled for Cannes in September. www.beneteau.com

Projects: Arcadia 135, Arcadia 115

Arcadia Yachts continues its innovative inspiration by presenting two bigger projects to its first 85 model. Pictured above is the largest of the projects the 135, which is to be the flagship from this South Italy, Neapolitan boat builder. As the rendering above shows the 135 is another innovative project with a three deck explorer yacht feel to it. As is expected solar panels will be another theme of the 135, just as it is for the 85. Accommodation for the 135 will be a five guest cabin, with the owners stateroom on the main deck. The crew will have also four double bunk cabins to fore, a personal lobby, and a captains room on the upper deck just behind the pilot house. The 135 will have a full displacement hull. After delivering the first 85 in the fall of 2009, hull two in early 2010, three being put into the water in this time, and four currently in construction, the Arcadia 115 will be the second model, not only in size but also to be presented by this Naples builder. Arcadia advised us that the tooling for the 115 has started early this Spring and the yard is hoping for an owner in order to pursue the construction of this model with the hope of a 2011 delivery. With the 115 Guida Engineering keeps the hybrid evolution as seen on the 85 with a sporty explorer feel to the exterior looks. Considering this is a three deck yacht this is no small task. Again spaces are abundant everywhere on the 115 with the upper third deck having record breaking sizes. Accommodation is for a five or four cabin lower deck, plus an owner stateroom on the main deck. The 115 also offers an interesting entertainment area with pool on the fore deck. The 115 will also again feature the Green attitude of the 85 with Solar panels everywhere, electric propulsion available on request, black water treatment, and zero speed stabilization. Power for the 115 will be from twin MAN 1224hp. www.arcadiayachts.com

Projects: C.Boat 27-82 Pilot, C.Boat 27-82 SC, C.Boat 35-82, C.Boat 48-82

The Sicilian Yacht builder C.Boat which launched its first model the 27-82 in 2009, continue to present more projects in order to expand its range of Super Yachts to a wider audience. The first of these new project is the 27-82 Pilot. This new C.Boat features a pilot house on the flybridge, characterized by having the control cabin moved to the fly so that the living room on the main deck expands in size. The C.Boat 27-82 SC is the third version for this designation model. The character of the SC which means Sport Cruise is for offering a larger fore deck with the flybridge reduced slightly in size to fore. A more expanded flybridge will also offer a bigger deck up top then to the standard version. The deck house will also have more vertical mirrors adding to more views from the inside. This solution also offers the biggest fly of its category.

The new C.Boat 35-82 will be designed by Jennifer Puzzo and as all the range will be a steel made yacht, with an alloy superstructure respecting this builders style in full. C.Boat continue its solid structure construction typical of work boats, or, better saying, of tugs. C.Boat 35-82 offers spaces that are unique for its category thanks to its eight meters plus of beam, and an availability of up to six guest cabins.

C.Boat the company from Palermo, Island of Sicily does not stop and expands its size to larger bigger projects with the 48-82, a 48 plus meters of length Super Yacht. Future flagship of the C. Boat range, the 48-82 model is constructed of steel and aluminum, and is born with the imprint of its designer, Mauro Corvisieri and is developed with the expert collaboration of the Inzerillo & Albeggiani office from Palermo. A mega yacht which wants to follow the made in Palermo philosophy concept of this builder. C.Boat emphasizes that the 48-82 is a true ocean-boat, designed to challenge the seas and will be classified to RINA or Lloyd's 100 A.1 standards.

Projects: Filippetti 30 Navetta, Filippetti 980 Evo, Filippetti 26 Navetta

Italy's Filippetti Yacht challenges the market with three important new projects all of a 24 metre plus Super Yacht size. Two of the projects also represent the new Navetta range with full displacement hulls from Filippetti. Pictured above is the largest of these projects the 30 Navetta. Little details are so far given accept for the fact that it is a design from Italian architect Pietro Mingarelli. The 30 Navetta is also the latest project by Filippetti Yacht and will have a five guest cabins accommodation plan. It will be powered by twin Cat 1.450 horsepower engines. The Filippetti 980 Evo is a further evolution of the Biarritz model from the Evo Marine brand. Evo Marine has now been acquired by Filippetti. The 980 is a 29 meter Super Yacht designed by Fulvio De Simoni who presented a two and a half deck layout with options of a main deck reserved for entertainment with four cabins below.

Projects: Van Der Heijden 2400 Superior, Van Der Heijden 3300 Superior

Dutch boat builder Van Der Heijden continues its recent strategy of expanding sizes with two new projects which put it into the Super Yacht World. Pictured above is the 2400 Superior project currently under construction in the Netherlands. This second Superior shows similar looks to the smaller 2000 model, and will be built to the same methods of a steel hull, and an alloy super structure. Project weight is an estimated 48 tons, which is light considering that this is less to a similar sized and powered glass fibre yacht. The 2400 Superior will also feature another distinction offering five guest cabins, and a single two person crew cabin aft. Not bad for a pocket Super Yacht just measuring 24 metres, and thanks to its hull length of less to this can be driven with a standard Yacht Master licence. Distinction is also shown in the second in size VIP cabin located aft. The 2400 Superior follows again the smaller 2000 sister in hull design and engines with a similar hard chine shape below waterline, and twin 825hp of power. Estimated speeds are of 18 knots of max. The project of the 3300 Superior continues Van Der Heijden further size expansion into the Super Yacht market. As it can be seen in the rendering this project continues the modern looks of the Superior range. The 3300 Superior will also feature two and a half decks, featuring a comfortable raised pilot station on top of things, this allowing for an extension of the main deck for entertainment purposes. No speeds, power options, or layout descriptions have been communicated so far.

Projects: Rhea 67 Trawler, Rhea 57 Trawler

After launching the Rhea 43 Trawler in the fall of 2009, this French boat builder is preparing for making a full range of medium to long Explorer Cruisers and Yachts, which in its completion will feature four models. Pictured above is the project for the 67 Trawler what will be the flagship of Rhea with an overall length of twenty plus metres. The 67 Trawler will feature a three double cabins interior and a crew cabin aft. The owner suite as recent fashion dictates, is a full beam affair. Rhea 67 Trawler apart the name wants also to show its work boat heritage with a trawler’s bow, frigate’s stern, two tone gel coat hull color, Portuguese bridge, and a spacious luxurious wheelhouse. Rhea also promises cruising enthusiasts a first class construction quality, high-spec equipment, and again protected propellers to prevent damage when running aground or hitting submerged objects while on the run. The 67 Trawler will have a semi-displacement hull that provides a range of over one thousand nautical miles with twin 800hp diesel engines, and 10,000 litres of fuel. The 57 Trawler will be the second large in size Rhea. Having an overall length of seventeen plus metres this other Rhea project also offers a three double cabins plus crew interior. The layout here is for a full beam owner suite, VIP to fore, a double bunk cabin to port, and a single crew cabin aft. The main deck is also a standard layout offering contemporary solutions of yachts a saloon upon entrance, an open galley, L-shaped settee, and a central helm station. For the large flybridge the 57 Trawler will also offer two stair cases, from the inside and on the aft deck. As for the 67, and 47 the Rhea 57 Trawler features elements that show work boat heritage like the bow, two tone color and protected propellers. Power for the 57 Trawler will be by twin 500hp engines, which should give a one thousand nautical miles range.

Projects: Albatro 60 Tender, Albatro 70

North Italian builder Albatro after launching its 50 Tender Open model back in 2006, and updating it last year as the 50 Tender aims to upgrade its Rib Yacht and Cruiser range with a full line up from 45 to 70 feet. Pictured above is the project for the 60 Tender model which will be available in two different styles. For example you can have the 60 in the HT glass hard top or a Fly version as pictured above. Other options are for the aft deck which is available with a large central sun pad, or two C-shaped settees on the sides. Interior layout have not been communicated, but do accept a performing hull with 40 knots plus of top speeds as Albatro usually delivers this in all its models.

The Albatro 70 will be huge step for this builder which builds its current biggest boat at 50 feet. This 70 aims to put a shorter difference as seen by other boats between what is a rib and a yacht. As all rib over a certain size this term is usually the tubes in the sides and this is usually a full glass fibre boat. Although the tubes do in fact deliver a safety feature not found on a standard solid construction. But apart the nearly full glass fibre construction the above rendering does in fact show many yacht like features with deep side bulwarks, a possibility of C-shaped dinette on the fore deck, and the sports flybridge up top. As for the 60, Albatro has so far not confirmed nothing below but they do show some rendering images which suggest a two large cabins layout. Engine choices are for triple 720hp or quadruple 480hp set up propelled to Italian Jolly surface drives.

Projects: Rio 42 Air, Rio 42 Art

Rio continue with the revamp as started in 2004 with the launch of the successful 44 Art for all its range presenting always more innovative and modern looking models. Just as promised in the 2009 Genoa show the North Italian builder presents the renderings for a complete new 42 model which as usual to Rio will feature the Air for hardtop, and the Art open style version. This 42 is a complete new model and features many changes not only in the looks and layout plan department but in all parts of this medium to large sized sport cruiser. It is also in fact 25 cm wider, and a foot longer to the old model. The size changes show a complete different internal plan with a larger full beam owners cabin, stern drive propulsion versus shaft of the old model, high low bathing platform, and a complete revamp to the cockpit layout with large L-shaped settee which adds a lot of free space against the sun pad plan of the old 42. The 42 Air will also offer a major difference as unlike the previous model will have a real integrated hardtop design. The 42 Art will also offer big changes and follows the looks and feel of the 2008 launched 35 Art model with a forward looking radar arch. The 42 Art is all similar to the hard top Air model, but goes on with full open hands in the air cockpit. Standard power is from twin Volvo D6 330hp. This model made its debut at the recent Naples boat show and should prove to be another winning design from Rio.

Projects: Sea Spirit 51 Passagemaker, Sea Spirit 55 Passagemaker, Sea Spirit 75 Passagemaker

After succesfully launching its first 60 Passagemaker model Sea Spirit follows it up with farther projects confirming its attention to make a complete line of full displacement explorer yachts all designed by the renowned Sparkman & Stephens studio firm. The 60 Passagemaker so far delivered in four examples has been acclaimed by the press for its timeless style, efficient arrangement, exquisite finish and extraordinary cruise range. The 51 Passagemaker will be Sea Spirit's entry level model, and will offer a similar style to its bigger sisters. Sea Spirit estimate a 9 knots top speed with a single 250hp Lugger engine, which give a range of up to 5000 nautical miles. Its lower deck accommodation offers a twin double cabins plan with two heads. The owners master stateroom is located to midship which gives less water slapping noise and rolling. The Sea Spirit 55 Passagemaker wants to be an intermediate model between the entry level 51 and the 60 models. Sparkman & Stephens again followed the exterior looking lines with a small ship style design. Sea Spirit have forward little detailed specification but what you get more to the smaller 51 is surely extra space in every part of the 55. Sea Spirit offer again a similar plan below decks to the smaller 51 with a full beam owners cabin to midship and VIP guest cabin to fore. The 75 Passagemaker is the second in size bigger project from Sea Spirit, being only smaller to the planned 88 Passagemaker. Displaying at a light load weight of 83 tons the 75 will offer various alternative layouts with a total of seven different choices between flybridge, main saloon, and lower deck plans. Without going into much detail the variety is surely in the choice for the lower deck which is available in four different choices. Here you can choose between a three or four cabin version, and a master stateroom to fore or aft.

Projects: Princess 40M, Princess 32M

The news of Princess over one hundred feet entry was a big news in January 2009, and now finally one of England's biggest builders give better detailed exterior renderings to the previous blurred image for its upcoming flagship models. Pictured above is the biggest of the two presented project models, what is the long range triple decked super yacht 40M. This future Princess flagship is scheduled for launch late in 2011 and will offer an unprecedented level of luxury and personalisation. Eminently capable of accommodating twelve guests in six cabins she also provides separate accommodation for up to eight crew members. The owner is accommodated in a magnificent suite on the main deck while throughout the yacht there is an incredible amount of scope for personalisation ensuring she is a very worthy flagship for the Princess fleet. Second in the rendering images will be the first of the large new M range Princess which keeps up with the offer of exceptional levels of personalisation so each will be truly individual. The 32M offers extremely spacious spaces for a cruising yacht, providing luxurious accommodation for up to ten guests in five cabins and can be configured with either three of four en-suite staterooms for guests in addition to the owner’s suite, which takes pride of place on the main deck. Scheduled launch is for the fall of this year. Both of these new flagship models will be built at the new Devonport Princess building facility.

Projects: Mulder 1500 Favorite, Mulder 1600 Favorite

Following the presentation of the Mulder 1400 Favorite a few weeks back, it was next to complete the two other projects concerning this new range from the Dutch builder. Today we present you the Mulder 1500 and 1600 of the new Favorite range. Like the smaller 1400, the Mulder 1500 Favorite is available with a round bilge or a chine shaped hull with a conventional shaft propulsion. The client has also the option of various power choices from twin 150hp up to 435hp Volvo engines. This will allow the yacht to reach a maximum speed from twelve to 27 knots. The Mulder 1500 Favorite interior is open and well thought through with a wheelhouse consisting of a large C-shaped seating dinette area, luxury TV stand, and optional rinsing unit. The steering position has an excellent view over the ship’s bow. A galley is located one level below and can be reached via a staircase next to the steering position, and can be fitted with various amenities. Below you have a twin cabins with owners suite to fore, and a second shower head. You also get a three metre big tender garage aft. The first 1500 Favorite is currently under construction and will be a round bilged hull with a conventional propeller shaft system, powered by twin Volvo 330hp engines. The Mulder 1600 Favorite project just like its smaller sister has also been developed in close partnership with Guido de Groot and Vripack Naval Architects. Unlike its sister though the 1600 is only available with a round bilge hull. Again the 1600 Favorite follows a similar choice of power options, from twin 150hp up to 435hp Volvo engines. The round bilge shape makes this yacht perfectly suited to comfortable cruising, from ten knots up to a 25 knots top speed. A catching feature is the irregular shape of the bow, which in contrast to the almost sheer shape of the Favorite 1400 and 1500 model, the 1600 will feature a more traditional angled form. The Mulder 1600 Favorite interior will also offer two layout choices. A three double cabins single heads plan, or a two cabins two heads layout. This last giving two en suited heads to both owner and guest cabins. Up on the main deck we find again an open wheelhouse layout, with an intermediate galley located between the main and lower deck.

Projects: Gamefisherman 60 Flybridge, Gamefisherman 58 Express

After launching its 48 Flybridge in the fall of 2009 Gamefisherman present two important new projects which expand the size of the line of this Miami custom boat builder. Above is the rendering for the 60 Flybridge which if launched today will be Gamefisherman's biggest build to date and its current flagship. The 60 Flybridge will have an interior with a split level saloon which offers a relaxing C-shaped saloon, dining table, galley and bar area. Below are the sleeping quarters which on the standard plan offer three double en-suited cabins. The owners suite is located to port midships. Construction as for all the Gamefisherman will be cold molded with Epoxy resins. Power will be from twin 1200hp MAN engines.

The second Gamefisherman project is the 58 Express, which shares many features with the two feet larger Flybridge. In fact the beam and draft are identical, and the length as the model designation indicates is just two feet shorter. Apart the measurements the concept of the 58 Express is a different one, being an open Express yacht with large outdoor spaces. But as any respected Sportfish machine the 58 Express welcomes you aft into a large free aft cockpit with a central fighting chair dedicated to the angler. Moving to fore and two steps up from the battle zone you are taken into the comfort area in the upper deck, which features two opposing L-shaped settees, and a central helm station. The standard lower deck plan goes for an L-shaped saloon, galley, guest cabin with two bunk berths, guest shower head, and the owners en-suite stateroom to fore. Power has been so far not been announced but I would imagine a similar set up to that of the slightly larger 60 Flybridge sister.

Projects: Austin Parker AP52 Open, Austin Parker AP62 Fly, Austin Parker AP72 Fly

Austin Parker are back with an ambitious project for three bigger models, all following the brands return with the AP42 Open in the fall of last year. These bigger projects will complete Austin Parker Traditional lobster looking line from 42 to 72 feet. Pictured above is the smallest of the new projects, the AP52 Open. This new model is presently under construction, and as the new Austin Parker's carries the signature of renowned yacht designer Fulvio de Simoni, who continues his inspiration as seen with the new 42 of a Lobster Yacht with modern architectural elements. Accommodation in the AP52 offers a three double cabin plan, with a crew berth aft. Interesting here is the owners suite to fore, with queen sized double berth looking to the side makes use of the bow flair, to add size and space similar to that of a full beam suite. Living area will be on the main deck with a C-shaped saloon, and galley just upon the entrance from the patio door. Power will be from twin 800hp MAN engines. The second of the new projects is Austin Parker AP62 Fly which marks the builder entry into the flybridge world. Again designed by De Simoni the new AP62 Fly continues the cross over elements between tradition and modernity. The tradition shows off with the long forward deck, light flare bow, and shear line. While modernity sticks out with the big view windows mid ship, the aft deck which is quite high for lobster pots collection, and the curved topsides.

Projects: Bavaria 46 Deep Blue Flybridge, Bavaria 38 Sport HT

German's mass pleasure boat builder challenges the market again by presenting two new projects which are alternate versions of models already presented. The first of these projects is the 46 Deep Blue Flybridge and just like the Open and SportTop version, BMW Group DesignworksUSA are responsible for the exterior design. This new flybridge Motor Cruiser version of the 46 Deep Blue series offers a dual helm station experience combined with more interior space on the main deck. This motor cruiser puts Bavaria into a new league, as in fact it is the German builder first flybridge boat. Opening glass doors welcome you inside, and slide open over the entire boat´s width, which take you to sheltered relaxing areas. The flybridge features the second helm station to starboard, central C-shaped settee aft, and a sunbathing area to fore. Glass surfaces to fore and on the side of the fore deck add to additional natural light to the cabins. Down below just as the other 46 Deep Blue which this Flybridge version shares the hull with, is a three double cabins, and two heads plan. Owners stateroom to fore, and the two double guest cabins to mid ship. Unlike the other 46 Deep Blue in Open or SportTop version, which are powered by Volvo stern drives the Flybridge will have IPS 600 forward looking pods. The other Bavaria project is based on the just presented 38 Sport, latest new launch of Bavaria's sport cruiser line, and follows similar looks to the successful 28 Sport launched in the fall of 2009. As in all its models over thirty feet presented in recent years Bavaria has developed a Hardtop version in close cooperation with BMW Group DesignworksUSA, its partner in terms of exterior design. The new 38 Sport HT will be a good looking sport cruiser offering sporty and dynamic lines, featuring an evolutionary hard top style which joins with the high free board hull and clean design aspects of the new BMW DesignworksUSA projects. Just as the standard 38 Sport the new Sport HT version offers a spaciously arranged cockpit featuring a large seating area, sun, wellness corners, integrated wet bar, and another sunbathing spot on the foredeck. The 38 Sport HT interior is a twin separate cabin, and convertible C-shaped settee plan. Power will be from twin stern drive with the standard starting engines being twin Volvo 320hp petrol engines.

Projects: San Juan SJ40ST, San Juan SJ40

San Juan continue to upgrade their range and present two important projects. These two new projects will fit at the centre of the nine model range from San Juan and are based on the SJ38 and the SJ40FB hulls, with identical length and beam, but a different propulsion set up. Both the new SJ40ST, and SJ40 will in fact be offered with the Volvo IPS forward looking pod propulsion, with 500 series giving 370hp each as standard. San Juan has released no interior plans, so we don't know if San Juan is offering a more spacious lower deck on these new 40 models. The SJ40FB with flybridge but shaft powered has accommodation below of a single owners cabin to fore, separate shower head, and a galley. The 38 has a V-shaped berth forward, separate shower head, L-shaped galley and a double cabin mid ship layout. The above pictures shows the SJ40ST, this last two letters meaning for soft top. This will be an open coupe version, coupled to San Juan traditional lined hull which give it big picnic boat looks thanks to the forty feet size. The on top San Juan SJ40 continues the twelve year old Washington boat builder expansion. From this rendering the SJ40 has very similar looks to the nice Traditional Cruiser that is the SJ48. Based on the 38 and 40 hull, the standard SJ40 is an enclosed hard top lobster looks design, and just like the ST version will be powered by twin Volvo forward looking IPS500 pods at 370hp each. San Juan is estimating speeds above 30 knots from both of the designs with this new propulsion set up. Of particular interest in the SJ40 is also what looks like a more enclosed extended hard top versus the 38, giving the feeling of better all weather usage.
