Improve-it = Cruisers 50 GLS

During the 2025 Fort Lauderdale boat show Cruisers presented a new enclosed door option to the 50 GLS.  Featuring a full enclosure at the middle of the main deck the patio door encloses the hard-top area, extending the boating season while offering elevated comfort and style. This design option enhances the already popular 50 GLS, giving owners even more ways to enjoy their time on the water.  This new option transforms the 50 GLS into a coupe, enclosing the part of the living deck thanks to a full walkthrough central door, and flip up windows, which with the nice weather connect the area to the aft deck.  Debuting in 2022 the 50 GLS is the largest model of the four model GLS bow rider range which today starts from ten meters.  Interestingly the 50 GLS is the only model in the GLS line powered only with outboards, offered with the triple Mercury 600hp only engine choice for speeds up to fifty knots, as the three other smaller models are also offered with stern drive option.

New Model: Princess V65

For the fall of 2025 Princess debuted the new fourth generation V65.  Based on the same hull of the third generation which was produced from 2018 to 2021, this new Princess V65 also shares platform with the S65 mark two which arrived last year.  This Princess platform actually debuted with the first generation S65 in 2015, and has since then been used on and including this new V65 for a total of five models. This new mark four V65 is in most cases identical to the S65, with the difference that the sport bridge up top is replaced by a large hard-top which transforms the main deck to into a more open sun filled space.   A winning horse is not changed and so the V65 features a similar layout to the third generation model; main deck with astern galley and dinette opposite the galley, a saloon further forward, and lower deck with four double cabins; owners master at midships, VIP forward, twin to starboard, and fourth guest cabin with bunk berths to port side.  The Princess V65 is powered by twin MAN 1400hp for top speeds up to 36 knots.

Project: Galeon 570 Sky

Galeon present the project for the 570 Sky. Based on the 560 Fly platform which arrived in early 2023, the Galeon 570 Sky is the next step of the Skydeck line, and a replacement to the 560 Skydeck with a new twist that blends a sporty silhouette of a hardtop with the full functionality of a sport bridge. The innovation here is all in the top deck featuring a hidden sport bridge area that when open offers with a full helm with dual seats, and mini L-shaped dinette which can converto to a sun-pad. As the you go in the main deck the 570 Sky will offer a central C-shaped settee, with port and starboard bathing platform access. The interior layout offers an astern galley layout, this located to starboard and also features a drop down window to port side, which with Galeon's trick of drop down balconies expand this area to a new level of deck entertaining. Down below the 570 Sky offers a three double cabins lower deck, with a full beam midships owners stateroom, VIP suite forward, and a third cabin to starboard. A single berth crew cabin berth is located aft. The Galeon 570 Sky is to be powered by twin Volvo 900hp as standard.

Improve-It = Rio Daytona 50

For the 2025 season Rio presented a line shaft option of the large models of the Open and Coupe Walkaround range.  The Rio Daytona 50 which was previously available with a triple stern drive diesel option by Yanmar and or triple Mercury outboards has now been added with a twin Cummins 550hp line shaft option.  The triple Yanmar diesel stern drive choice has been removed, while at request the Daytona 50 can be equipped with Volvo IPS pod drives with the details of what power of this not being advised.  According to initial test the Rio Daytona 50 will reach top speeds up to 35 knots with the twin Cummins 550hp.  Designed by Marino Alfani and debuting as the 46 Daytona L in 2022, it was a month or so later renamed as the Daytona 50.  The Daytona 50 is a T-top walk around sport yacht, with a lower deck which offers two cabins, a spacious shower head, and a relaxing sofa in between the cabins.

Project: Domina Yachts 50 WA

Domina Yachts present the project for a new 50 Walkaround set to arrive in most probability in the coming year.  Designed as the two other smaller Domina's by Marco Seri the 50 Walkaround comes as a larger offer to the 42 Walkaround, which is Domina current best seller.  So far very little information is offered on the 50 Walkaround, but with these scale models as displayed during the 2025 Genoa boat show, we know that it will feature latest amenities as drop down bulkheads, and an ever ending all fifteen meters length exterior space; with two; aft and fore dinettes.  The Domina Yachts 50 Walkaround in this scale models also shows a two stepped hull showing a performance focus probably to go beyond fifty knots.  Domina Yachts has not advised any engine and propulsion details, but I would imagine for the 50 Walkaround to be available with inboard surface drives, and outboards as the current 42 WA and 44R models.  During the 2025 Genoa boat show Domina Yachts also teased for a 50R open style yacht.

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 29 which arrived in 2019, which was followed by the 42, and 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.

New Model: Valhalia 55 Sport Yacht

Valhalia Boatworks has in June 2025 launched the first hull of the new 55 Sport Yacht. Based on the V-55 center console which arrived in early 2023 the 55 Sport Yacht is redesigned from the super structure up, offering sweet looking modern lines coupled to performance and choices of accommodation layout for both upper and main decks.  Powered by four Mercury 600hp outboards the 55 Sport Yacht delivers a fast fifty knots plus top speed, coupled to a stable and efficient ride, along a stunning profile. Her swept-back, four-sided fiberglass pilothouse features tinted windows and a hardtop that extends aft to cover the summer kitchen or bar. A telescoping powered shade, hidden in the hardtop delivers sun protection and comfort in the cockpit. Support arches gracefully project outboard to the coamings.. Boarding platforms outboard of the engines lead to a pair of glass doors that provide cockpit access. Designed for maximum relaxation and outdoor entertaining, the yacht is offered with several different aft deck layouts. Hull No. 1 is appointed with a wraparound lounge and table in the cockpit, paired with an L-shaped summer kitchen along the aft pilothouse bulkhead ,which also includes a port-side door. A summer kitchen with a full-width counter that extends along a solid aft bulkhead is also available with the U-shaped cockpit dinette. The third option boasts an aft dinette with table and facing bench seats, coupled with a bar and three stools, in lieu of the L-shaped summer kitchen. With each of the four configurations, the aft bulkhead has an integrated powered window that opens the pilothouse to the aft deck. Adding to the entertainment is an optional HD TV that drops down from the hardtop underside for aft-deck viewing. The cockpit comes standard with powered fold-down balconies on each side with integrated boarding ladders. An asymmetrical side-deck design allows for increased interior volume; raised starboard side deck accessed via three steps frees up space in the cabin while still providing access forward to tend to dock lines, while the port side walkway is flush with the deck and leads to the bow, where you’ll find a three-person sun-pad and a wraparound lounge with table. The pilothouse is designed to bring the outdoors inside. In addition to the bulkhead window, it features a powered sunroof and port and starboard powered doors that slide aft. They provide full-beam access from the three-person forward control station while also ushering in refreshing breezes. Like our Viking and Valhalla helms, the 55 SY’s control station is streamlined, clean and ergonomically friendly. Three multifunctional displays anchor the raised electronics pod in an impressive all-glass helm design. Visibility through the one-piece windshield is superb. With the solid aft bulkhead option, the pilothouse’s interior is appointed with a full-width raised lounge and table. Alternatively, you have a raised bench seat offset to starboard when the L-shaped summer kitchen with bulkhead door is chosen; and the outdoor bar design boasts a continuation of its counter into the pilothouse. Port-side companionway stairs lead to the feature-packed galley to starboard and comfortable dinette to port (with L-shaped seating that’s convertible to a berth). Standard accommodations include two private staterooms with queen beds. The forward master is appointed with an ensuite head and separate shower. A guest head, also with separate shower, is just forward of the amidships guest stateroom. For extra sleeping accommodations, an optional amidships layout with two berths; double to starboard and a single to port is available. The 55 Sport Yacht has over four thousand litres of fuel for extensive range and is engineered for a Seakeeper for increased comfort.  A subsidiary of Viking Yachts, Valhalia Boatworks debuted in 2019 with three center console models from ten to twelve meters on that year, and today offers eight models from 28 to 55 foot.

New Model: VanDutch 75

Over two years in the making the VanDutch 75 has finally arrived.  Designed by Mulder the VanDutch 75 follows the classic looks of its smaller sisters, added with the comfort 22 meters of size bring.   VanDutch has been teasing to go bigger since 2014 when it announced the 70 project.  With Pardo's new ownership and a solid base to expand since 2020, it was only a matter of when not if for Van Dutch to go beyond its sixteen meter size limit it had since 2013.  That time arrived in Summer 2025 when VanDutch debuted its 75 flagship, expanding its largest size offer by six meters.  Most influencers call it a super day boat, but most sport yachts of fifteen meters and above are used a lot as yachts here in the Mediterrean side and probably beyond.  The VanDutch 75 has a lot of comfort to do that, with a three spacious cabins lower deck as standard, and a galley and saloon in between.  The master stateroom is located to starboard midships, while the two staterooms option expands this to a full five meters beam massive owner suite.  Outside spaces are the VanDutch 75 sales pitch, offering endless Mediterrean style social areas; aft central sun-pad with a C-shaped sofa looking forward and opposite mezzanine settee's to both sides form the aft area of the cockpit.  Further forward and just one step up is two opposite dinettes, with a three seat helm station to port and exterior wet-bar to starboard forming the central area of the exterior, this covered by a stylish carbon fibre T-Top.  The fore-deck is the usual VanDutch clean and uncluttered flush deck.  You have two options to go to the fore-deck via the classic side deck way, and through a passage way from the opening wind-screen to starboard.  The VanDutch 75 is standard powered by triple Volvo 800hp or optional 1000hp.  Hull one was powered by the large Volvo 1000hp, for speeds up to forty knots max and cruise at 32 knots.  The VanDutch 75 is a unique offer in the 22 to 23 meter open sport yacht market with the best exterior cockpit deck in its class.  Similar for being open but in a way different competition comes from the long standing since 2008 produced Itama SeventyFive, the Riva 76 Bahamas Super, and the Wajer 77.  It was never a better time to look for a 22 to 23 meter open sport yacht.

New Model: Riva 58 Capri

During the 2025 Cannes Yachting Festival Riva debuted its new 58 Capri model.  Based on the 56 Rivale platform the 58 Capri main difference is a hard-top, with this new sport yacht offering identical cockpit deck and lower deck layouts.  The 56 Rivale arrived in 2017 as a replacement to the previous twelve years produced Rivale 52 adding space thanks to more length and beam and with this also a full beam owners stateroom.  In 2021 Riva also offered an open hard-T-Top option to the 56 Rivale.  Now Riva adds this new 58 Capri variant, to its seventeen meter size sport yacht series, which has proved a success in the last eight years.  Could Riva had done something more, with the 58 Capri then just add a hard-top?  Probably yes, and considering the change in designation from 56 to 58 with size staying the same, they definitely should have added for example an up and down bathing platform.

New Model: Itama 54

It took time for the current Ferretti Group ownership to notice Itama, a small signal arrived in 2017 when the S update came for the 45, with this followed on the larger 62 in 2020, and the RS update in subsequent years.  Now after sixteen years and the not so lucky Fifty model, Itama is back with this totally new 54.  Officially announced as a project this Winter, the new 54 sees designer Tommaso de Luca take the legendary classic Itama name to a new third generation act, with some new details pushing along the classic ones.  Tommaso de Luca for the new Itama 54 adds new modern interesting features, some less subtle like the outward stern, the integrated sun-pads on the fore deck, and the hull glazing serving the cabin area to the less noticeable near wide body cockpit.  These new features are added to the classic Itama must have; the flush deck, the long windshield, and the aft sun-pad.  The lower deck accommodation for the Itama 54 offers two cabins; master forward and double guest berth to starboard served with two shower heads, an ensuite for the owner and a guest head.  A spacious galley on entry into the cabin area to port side, and a dinette lounge sofa.  The galley is definitely a plus, as it is not only spacious for a sixteen meter yacht, but one of the few to have a lower deck galley since the genre is mostly competed by walk-around type day yachts.  Outside the new 54 is all classic Itama; aft sun-pad, C-shaped dinette and C-shaped lounger to starboard, with a wet bar and helm station to port side.  The Itama 54 is standard powered by twin Man 730hp for speeds up to 33 knots and a cruise of 28, with optional 850hp pushing up to 37 knots.  A technical new feature for the 54 is that it is also the first Itama fitted with propeller tunnels.

New Model: Palm Beach GT60 Jetdrive

Palm Beach enter its GT series into a new era, as it presents the GT60 with Jetdrive. The Jetdrive version is to be available even on the smaller GT50. With the GT60 Jetdrive, Palm Beach enters into Hinckley territory from a certain point of view, although it is fair to say the GT series is a bit a cross-over styled sporty yacht with hull lines of a down Easter, and a modern more adventurous super structure. In respect to the standard IPS version the GT60 Jetdrive offers little differences, the hull is a bit longer on the chines but a bit shorter in the centreline for the jets, and with the no running gear to the bottom a thirty centimetres less of draft. The first GT60 Jetdrive unit is a customisable boat, painted in a dark near black grey it featured an un-edited open stern layout, with a mezzanine looking aft settee, but also a no patio door main deck. The Palm Beach GT60 Jetdrive is powered by twin Volvo 1000hp with Hamilton water jets and achieved up to 43 knots top speed, with a 35 cruise, which would make it a three knots faster boat to the IPS version.

Riva present the project of the 58 Capri.  Based on mostly everything on the 56 Rivale, the 58 Capri differs for having an integrated hard-top.  For the rest the 58 Capri and 56 Rivale are mostly identical, same cockpit layout; with central sun-pad, L-shaped dinette to port with wet-bar opposite, J-shaped passenger lounge to port, helm station to starboard, and sun-pad forward.  Down below the theme continues with the 58 Capri following the theme of a two plus crew cabin or three cabins layout.  In both layouts the owners room is at midships, VIP suite forward, with saloon and galley in between the cabins.  The Riva 58 Capri is powered by twin Man 1000hp or optional 1200hp, for speeds up to 33 knots with standard engines and up to 37 with the optional units.

New Model: Invictus TT550

Invictus completes the circle of its new 550 flagship, and after debuting the ST550 enclosed hard-top version, follows it with the TT550.  Unlike the ST550 this other TT550 version of the flagship is pure Invictus from bow to stem, showing what the South Italian boat builder has offered since debuting in 2014; full walk-around, T-top hard-top and the graceful modern lines Christian Grande has purposefully designed which made the Invictus name recognizable and a success.  The Invictus TT line debuted in 2020 with the TT460, at the time the new flagship.  As all Invictus the TT550 follow what the Italian boat builder has been offering even on its smaller models; a tailored customizable yacht with a lot of options; from five lower deck versions; galley down or dinette, two and or optional three cabins, and fifteen unique colours to choose from.  The Invictus TT550 is powered by twin Volvo 600hp and or optional 725hp with IPS pod drives propulsion.
