New Model: SAY Carbon Yachts 52

I actually learned about SAY Carbon Yachts back in 2022, when its then new model the 42 was filmed in Haulover Inlet during a sea trial by Wavy Boats.  This video got interest to this axe bow arrow looking from the future sport cruiser.  The project of the 52 was announced on that same year, but supply chain issues and then some financial difficulties last year made the debut of the second larger SAY arrive this year at the 2025 Palma boat show.  A German company founded in 2006, the company started building light sailboats and ribs, and then in 2014 with involvement from Karl Wagner, the founder of Carbo Tech Composites started looking at entering the fast cruiser market.  The result was the SAY Carbon Yachts 42 which arrived in 2022, with this 52 being its second model.  Fully build in carbon fibre the SAY 52 is a fifteen meter in length sport yacht of incredible light weight, around eight tons unloaded with the diesel engine choice, and all around weight saving features, see shower head door.  Accommodation wise the SAY Yachts offers a two plus two berth interior; C-shaped dinette to starboard and a cabin galley to port, double berth forward, and a shower head to starboard.  An option exists for the forward cabin for being open or enclosed with a door.  The exterior living area of the SAY 52 is typical Mediterranean covered for most part by the futuristic and forward looking hard-T-Top and offering a layout off a central sun-pad with underneath garage, central L-shaped settee forward and bench seat for two to port, center exterior galley wet-bar, and a two seat central console.   The SAY 52 is available with three propulsion options; twin 430hp petrol gas as standard, optional twin 480hp diesel, both of these on duo-prop stern drives, and an all electric 300kw option which adds the bill by another 850,000 EUROS.  With the twin 480hp diesel option the SAY 42 reaches a top speed of 45 knots.

Project: Say Yachts 52

Say Yachts from Germany is a fresh sport cruiser and yacht builder which debuted in 2019 with the 29e hybrid or all electric eight meter runabout, and in end 2022 presented its second 42 model.  Now the German builder is presenting its third model, a sport yacht flagship of just over fifteen meters in length.  Like the smaller 29e and 42 model the new Say Yachts 52 is a full carbon fibre build, with an impressive 7.5 tons dry weight.  Impressive number if you consider this is what most ten meter boats usually weight. Designed by German firm Genesis the Say Yachts 52 has clean contemporary modern lines and is focused mostly to be used as a day cruiser, with a lower deck offering a stateroom forward, two heads, and a relaxing lounge sofa on entrance.  The Say Yachts 52 will feature environmental conscious amenities from solar panels in the radar which cover most appliances consumption without the use of generator, and an electric motor for clean cruising up to eight knots.  The Say Yachts is to be powered by twin Volvo 430hp gas engines with 440hp diesel available, with both options having an estimated top speed up to 45 knots.
