New Model: Pershing GTX70

The first Pershing GTX70, an agile and dynamic concentration of the innovations introduced by the GTX series, was launched last March nineteen in the port of Fano. The third model in the Sport Utility Yachts range, marks the beginning of Pershing's fortieth anniversary, delivering the sporty spirit and incredibly liveable spaces of the previous models, but in a more compact format that opens the range experience to a new type of customer. With a length of over 21 meters the GTX70, follows as the bigger GTX80 which arrived in 2024 the design direction of Vallicelli, who is assisted by Piero Ferrari guided Ferretti Group Product Strategy Committee, and the Group’s Engineering Department. The GTX70 new hull was produced at the Ferretti Group Plug and Mould facility, which brings together the brand’s advanced technology and signature craftsmanship, and the boat’s construction was completed in the new Mondolfo production area where the GTX range is built. The GTX70 bring more spacious exterior and interior spaces than on other sporty yachts of similar length, ensuring an extraordinarily comfortable experience by increasing on-board liveability and offering direct contact with the water. Pershing GTX70 extends across two decks and a sport-bridge and can accommodate up to six guests in three cabins. The exterior design, in classic Pershing grey, reprises some of the stand-out style features seen on all GTX models. The slightly convex, stanchion-free sheer line runs from bow to stern, joining up with the bulwarks on either side of the cockpit, which open out to form two terraces that significantly increase the living space in the beach area. The sleek, sweeping lines, combined with the near vertical bow, endow this model with an unrivalled elegance. The beach area aft, furnished on this first unit with the optional sun-pad incorporated in the transom structure, has a total surface of 23 squared meters when the side terraces are open. Another stand-out feature is the stern swim platform with dual linear lift technology, which increases the available space by aligning the platform with the beach area and can also be used to launch a jet ski or a Williams tender. The importance of the concept of space is clear on the main deck, which has a seamless, open design. The cockpit, which is full shaded by the sport flybridge, contains a generous C-shaped sofa and a table. As on the GTX80, the exterior and interior lounge areas are connected via the galley, thanks in part to a pocket up-down glass panel incorporated in the galley unit. Moving forward, the importance of the widebody structure is clear to see in the layout of the living space, which contains two facing L-shaped sofas that give the area an even greater sense of harmony. The colours used for the interiors of this first unit have been chosen to highlight the contrasts between different elements, such as the dark nubuck leather upholstery of the sofas paired with the muted tones of the nearby stairwell. The ceiling is decorated with LED lights strips that deliver diffused light across the entire deck space, a feature also repeated on the lower deck. The lower deck contains three cabins and three en suite bathrooms, in a layout that optimises the spaces so that guests can enjoy maximum comfort in the sleeping area too. Pershing GTX70’s sixteen square-metre sport-bridge is split into three spacious areas for sunbathing, dining and the helm station. On this model it also features the innovative electric bimini top with prepreg carbon poles, available as an option, which can be used to shade the dining area and helm station. The Pershing GTX70 is powered by triple Volvo 900hp with IPS pod propulsion for a top speed up to 35 knots and a cruising speed of thity knots. The GTX70 is also CE Class A certified, the safest for yachts under 24 meter or eighty foot.

Project: Invictus TT550

The excitement surrounding the project of the Invictus ST550 future flagship, was so high that requests have followed for the Calabrian boat builder for the TT550 flagship.  Thus Cantieri Aschenez, the owner of Invictus Yachts made its fans happy and unveiled a second project on the same platform: the TT550, which follows the line the Italian boat builder has offered thus far since its debut eleven years ago in 2014. While the Invictus ST550 introduces a new range inspired by classically styled motor yachts, the Invictus TT550 further expands the TT line, becoming the natural evolution of the successful TT460 in a three meter larger size. Just short of seventeen meters in length, the Invictus TT550 is to be the new flagship of the TT range, maintaining the defining characteristics and innovations of the TT460, while integrating reimagined forward and aft exterior spaces. These redesigned areas maximize the overall experience, offering even greater exclusivity. Where luxury meets the essence of the Mediterranean spirit, the Invictus TT550 is all about enhancing the connection with the sea, prioritizing outdoor spaces over indoor ones. The folding side terraces are perfect for this, offering a feeling of openness and freedom with the surrounding environment, creating a safe and expansive cockpit area. A hallmark feature remains the semi-reversed bow, a distinctive signature of all Invictus Yachts. From the stern, you step up from the submerged platform, passing the substantial garage, to enter the spacious living area, designed for moments of socializing and relaxation. This open-plan space is perfect for enjoying every moment of the day, and thanks to the folding backrest of the aft sofa, it can be transformed into a large, inviting sunbathing area. The garage is cleverly designed to be accessed without disturbing those relaxing on the sun deck. Moving forward, the imposing carbon fibre hardtop, which is a hallmark of the TT460, is doubled in the Invictus TT550, providing protection for the dinette and galley up to the helm. A protected walkway, bordered by high sides, leads to the bow area, where the lounge unfolds. It’s a versatile space, perfect for daytime use with a carbon-fibre-supported harem awning and is also ideal for evening relaxation, offering a more intimate and romantic setting illuminated by soft lights running along the perimeter. Below deck, Christian Grande has designed two cabins; Master and VIP, with the option for the owner to choose the layout, either forward or amidships together with two bathrooms. In response to the owner’s wishes, a cosy mid-ship living area can also be replaced with a third cabin or a galley. An optional crew cabin is also available. Invictus TT550 will be powered by a pair of Volvo 725hp with IPS propulsion and is set to World Debut at the Cannes Yachting Festival 2025, along with its ST550 sister.

Project: XL Marine 55 WA

Following the debut of the second generation XL Marine 45 in 2024, the Italian semi-custom classic looking sport yacht specialist looks forward and present the project for a new 55 WA.  The 55 WA is to be the new flagship for XL Marine, and is based on the hull lines of the 51, but longer and wider. Naval architect and designer Antonio di Mennato had his hands full on this one, considering that XL Marine deviates from its classic open sporty looks of his previous designs to those of a walk-around with easy use fore to aft deck space.  The XL Marine 55 WA is a bit of a novelty for the sense that it brings classic open looks into a walk-around, unlike the majority of the offers in the segment for a futuristic or modern-classic looks.  As any XL Marine the 55 WA is custom, and is available in endless lower deck options from a one cabin, to two or thee cabins versions, while an optional crew cabin is also available aft. Even the main deck is very optionable, this available with a central sun-pad and side corridors, or central corridor and two sun-pads aft.  But a lot of things can be changed in the XL 55 WA to make the boat fit to owners requirements.  The first hull which is to be finished for Summer 2025 is to feature a central corridor two sun-pads main deck, with the lower deck ordered in the one cabin and an open space layout.  The XL Marine 55 WA is to be powered by twin MAN 850hp and 1000hp engines with integrated U-drive line shaft propulsion, with the small engines giving 33 knots of top speed, and 37 knots from the large option.

Project: Solaris Power 70 Grand Coupe

Solaris Power presents the 70 Grand Coupe project, as designed by Dragani.  The 70 Grand Coupe is based on the hull lines of the 70 Long Range project which Solaris Power presented the past Spring and is also designed by Dragoni, with the difference between the two yachts is that the 70 Coupe as the name entails has no flybridge.  Other differences is that the aft deck of the 70 Coupe has a sun-pad aft deck, offered in two from three of the layouts available.  The standard Version A and optional Version C are an aft sunpad version, while Version B comes with the opposing settees dinette as found in the 70 Long Range.  For the interior this theme continues as the standard Main Deck Layout A offers a different layout with galley to starboard, and optional Layout B and C having an astern galley to port as found on the flybridge version.  The lower deck in Solaris Power 70 Coupe is a standard four cabins three heads layout, with an optional Cabin Layout B replacing the fourth single berth cabin with a day head by the stairs.  The Solaris Power 70 Coupe is to be powered by twin Volvo 725hp and or optional 1000hp with IPS pod drives.

Project: Astondoa 577 Coupe

Astondoa present the 577 Coupe project, a new sport yacht which will position itself in between the best-selling 377 Coupe and the exclusive 677 Coupe.  The 577 Coupe will reach the market in 2025, fulfilling Astondoa’s desire to offer new formulas to satisfy sports boating enthusiasts who are looking for their own personal and unique experience, in total connection with the sea, without renouncing luxury and comfort on board at the highest level.  A combination of sporty lines and elegance, the new yacht follows the aesthetics of its predecessors in the Coupe range, with a daring and original design theme.  For this the 577 Coupe reproduces the distinctive elements of this sporty line, such as the inverted bow, the aluminium structure of the cabins or the stepped stern.  The interiors combine the quality and high standard of finishes that distinguish Astondoa with the new materials, textures and trendy colours that the shipyard has introduced in its latest launches. As with all Astondoa yachts, customisation is also a part of the new 577 Coupe, where the customer’s taste and personality are reflected in their yacht.

Project: Pershing GTX70

Pershing continues to expand its GTX range as it follows the GTX116 and GTX80 with the project for a smaller 21 meter GTX70 to come in 2025.  Like the GTX80 which came this year, the Pershing GTX70 comes again from a design of Vallicelli, who followed similar clean lines and concept to the ten foot larger sister.  Vallicelli seems to have been given design duties of Pershing sports utility yacht GTX line, after 38 years of dedicated design duties by Fulvio de Simoni, which also includes the first GTX 116.  Like the 2024 arrived three meters bigger sister the GTX70 will feature an expandable beach area with drop down side bulkheads, a sport bridge, and a fore deck lounge sun-pad with entry from starboard. Some options exist for the exterior, from an aft sun-pad, to three helm chairs in replacement to the bench settee, and closable entry to the fore deck sun-pad.  The accommodation layout of the Pershing GTX70 is an astern galley central dinette layout, and a central located helm station forward.  Lower deck accommodation offers three cabins, with a full beam midships master stateroom, VIP suite forward, and third guest cabin with twin berths in between.  A single berth crew cabin with fore deck entry is located forward.  The Pershing GTX70 will be powered by triple Volvo 900hp with IPS pod drives for top speed estimates up to 35 knots, and a cruise of thirty.
