New Model: Rio Daytona 45

In mid 2023 Rio presented its new Daytona 45 model, a walk around sport cruiser of thirteen meters in length. The Rio Daytona 45 offers a spacious and flexible layout, a sport cruiser which its main features remain true to the range: sporty streamlined and symmetrical lines, walkaround deck, and maximum exterior space thanks to the fore to bow use of the exterior and two significantly sized fold down sea terraces. Welcoming you onboard the cockpit, the Daytona 45 has a large sundeck, a tender garage, and movable seating that allows the cockpit layout to be changed in minutes. The two fold down terraces that open to the sides allow you to break down visual boundaries, feel immersed in nature, and make the sea part of your decor. The technological and modern helm station located central off-set to starboard is protected by a rigid T-top. The walk-around passages are wide, comfortable and safe, taking you fore deck when you have a sun-pad on top of the coach roof, and two opposed settees. The bright interior is represented by a smart, multi-use open space. Two cabins, one bathroom and an exceptional distribution of space for a thirteen-meter sport cruiser designed around the exterior. The Rio Daytona 45 is also flexible in its power choices offered in both inboard with twin Yanmar 370hp and stern drive propulsion, or outboard twin Mercury 400hp outboard engines.

New Model: Swan Overshadow 13.0 m

Nautor Swan continues the expansion in its motor yacht division by presenting Swan OverShadow, a thirteen meter sport cruiser redefining the concept of enjoying life at sea. The elegance and style of Nautor Swan’s has been perfectly reinterpreted by Jarkko Jämsén, resident Swan Shadow designer, focusing on the main elements in the Finnish brand’s DNA: quality, innovation, performance and reliability. The Swan OverShadow is based on the high-performing hull of the Swan Shadow, which is particularly efficient and seaworthy, with the difference of an inboard engine with stern-drive propulsion and two alternative layout configurations upper and below deck. The flush deck offers great livability with an external wet bar equipped with a galley, and an over two-meter-long sunbed. A very generous dining area deploys around the sofas for a convivial vibe. The ample space on the deck has been made possible by positioning the sunbed more aft over the inboard engines. This also frees up the stern area, providing a more functional aft deck for the driver to maneuver, making the boat easier to handle. The stern platform has the same functionality as in the Swan Shadow, with three positions: central position for driving, upper position serving as a passarelle, and below water level position for easier access to the water when swimming or doing watersports. The brand-new Swan OverShadow features a high and wide windshield, offering more protection in the cockpit and ensuring more safety and comfort for the driver and co-pilot while cruising at higher speeds. The full, closed bow of the design creates more space in front below deck, where OverShadow features two alternative layouts: a double or a twin bed configuration. The double offers more comfort when spending a weekend away, while the twin configuration offers more floor space, creating a seating area. Both layouts feature a larger and more spacious head than their predecessor.

Project: Domina RS 13.30 m

Domina Yachts from Rome Italy, present the RS project, a thirteen meter fast sport cruiser as designed by Marco Seri, and a tribute from the yard owners to the passion they have for fast boats and yachts.  While for many Domina Yachts is a new name, this is actually the brand as used by Cantieri Navali del Tevere also known with the abbreviated CNT, who was founded in 1964, and entered boat building in 2005 with Mustang Marine and a fast 38 model.  In 2022 the Tiber River boat yard rebranded its new boat building brand as Domina Yachts debuting with the 42 Walkaround.  The RS is the second Domina model and offers a mix of an American muscle power boat and the typical Italian open fast yacht of the Tyrrhenian sea.  For this for example the sun-pad takes the whole beam with no passageway to the sides or in the middle, with a forward facing settee forward, and two bolster seats to port for helm-station, and starboard for co-pilot.  Down below the Domina RS offers sleeping accommodation for four, with an open plan dinette V-berth forward, a separate cabin with double berth to starboard midships, and a shower head to port-side.  The Domina RS can be powered by twin diesel engines with surface drives, and or quadruple Mercury 450 or 500hp petrol gas outboards.  Performance numbers are not communicated but the Domina Yachts should have a sixty knots top speed, considering that she weighs under nine tons unloaded and without engines.

During the fall of 2023 Fiart has presented the new Panorama model version, for its Seawalker 43.  The 43 Panorama main difference between the standard Seawalker is that it integrates the T-top with the windshield giving better protection to the triple settee helm-station, and the cockpit behind especially when under way.  For the remaining the Panorama adds to the brilliant features which characterize the Seawalker 43 which debuted in 2020, and has been a success for Fiart.  This is a sport cruiser walk-around with a usable fore to aft exterior main deck which offers forward and back sun-pads, dinette with opposite facing settees, wet-bar-galley behind the helm-station, and a forward facing settee forward.  The Fiart Seawalker 43 Panorama also offers comfortable interior with two spacious cabins sleeping four, with the forward cabin which can specified as an open-plan layout.  The Fiart Sewalker 43 Panorama is powered by four engine choices from 380 to 480hp, in IPS or stern drive pods with top speeds up to 39 knots with the large power option.  At this stage it will be interesting to see if we see the Panorama's from Fiart on the smaller Sewalker 39 and 35 models.

Project: Galeon 470 Skydeck

Galeon presents the 470 Skydeck project, set to debut in 2024.  Designed by Tony Castro this 470 Skydeck is a second generation 470 and will replace the original model which debuted in 2018.  This new version is based on the outgoing 470 Skydeck model, same hull and an evolution of design with the main difference coming from the larger hull windows.   Another subtle difference in the new 470 Skydeck comes in the layout of the sport-fly-bridge or as Galeon calls it, the Skydeck, which now features a helm station to port side with a C-shaped lounge on the other side versus the central helm of the outgoing 470.  For the remaining at least in the plans shown so far, the Galeon 470 Skydeck is identical to the previous first version; with an astern galley layout main deck, and three double cabins below of which is a full beam owners cabin.
