The first Custom Line Navetta 38 superyacht touched the water for the first time on Wednesday January 31, at the Ferretti Group Superyacht Yard in Ancona, during a ceremony attended by the owner family and the shipyard’s employees, who witnessed the launch of the first hull super yacht with great pride and satisfaction. Multiple features ensure that the owner and his family will have a unique cruising experience on board this superyacht, with sophisticated combinations of elegance and live-ability, timelessly classic style, immersive continuity between interiors and exteriors, and direct contact with the sea, not least thanks to the generous and versatile beach club. Replacing the Navetta 37 after seven years of production and fifteen hulls the Custom Line Navetta 38 was designed, engineered and built at the Ferretti Group Superyacht Yard in Ancona and is the result of a joint design effort by the Ferretti Group Product Strategy Department and its Engineering Department as directed by Piero Ferrari. Ferretti's Custom Line Navetta 38 is a semi-custom yacht measuring over 38 meters in length with a displacement hull and a total volume of 299 gross tonnage characterized by innovative exterior and interior design and outstanding seagoing performance. The exterior styling is by Filippo Salvetti, while the interior design is by ACPV Architects Antonio Citterio Patricia Viel. Custom Line Atelier provided vital interior design consulting, working in close contact with the owner to transform the yacht into a faithful portrait of his style preferences. A hymn to the values of quality, volume and comfort extending across four decks, the new Custom Line Navetta 38 has in fact been designed to maximize use of all the spaces available on its four decks. In more detail, it has a large master suite of over forty square meters on the main deck, with completely separated crew and guest flows to ensure maximum privacy. In addition to the master suite, Custom Line Navetta 38 has four guest cabins on the lower deck, accommodating a total of ten people on board and seven crew members, including the captain. The exterior design of Custom Line Navetta 38 is classic, timeless and clean, featuring essential and elegant sculptural lines enhanced by generous glazed surfaces and forming a harmonious blend of maritime tradition and stylish innovation. The yacht’s interiors are designed for maximum use of space, with optimum control of all volumes and functional exploitation of the entire available surface area to ensure flexibility. Natural light is amplified by huge floor-to-ceiling windows, creating stylish continuity between external and internal spaces and a feeling of perfect harmony with the marine environment.  Custom Line 38 is powered by twin Man 1400hp for a top speed up to fifteen knots, a cruise of twelve, and long range of 2800 nautical miles at ten knots.

Project: Ferretti InFynito 80

Ferretti expand the InFynito range presenting the second 80 model project of the line up, following the InFynito 90 which in the second half of 2023. Set to debut in the fall of this year the InFynito 80 builds on the range’s typical characteristics: environmental friendliness, unprecedented flexibility and innovative layouts, as magnificently embodied in the iconic All-Season Terrace. Other strengths include the yacht’s versatility, with a sundeck that can be open or semi-closed, and the sheer size, above average for the segment, of the exterior surface area covered and protected by the hard top or superstructure. Built at the recently purchased new Marina di Ravenna shipyard, Ferretti Yachts’ InFynito 80 is the result of collaboration between the Strategic Product Committee chaired by Piero Ferrari and the Ferretti Group Engineering Department, with exterior design by Filippo Salvetti and interiors by design firm Ideaeitalia. InFynito 80 willl have an overall length of over 23 meters, and a maximum beam of six meters plus and is designed to offer lovers of the sea a new and gratifying experience in highly customisable spaces where interiors and exteriors blend into one another. Ferretti's new InFynito 80 also features the Group’s F.S.E.A. technology, a package of environmentally friendly cruising solutions. They include an integrated system that stores the solar energy collected by the photovoltaic panels installed on the hard top in an Energy Bank, which consists of fourteen high-density lithium batteries that deliver more energy at the same time as guaranteeing a favourable weight-power ratio. The battery pack is in the engine room, in watertight steel containers fitted with temperature monitoring sensors. There was also a special focus on the use of green materials, such as natural and bamboo fabrics, regenerated leather and recyclable materials, ecological water-based paints and lamellar teak with FSC 5 certification, used throughout the exteriors. An overview of the various decks highlights the main deck astern, with a generous eighteen square metres dedicated to a beach area that features a sea-view couch incorporating a generous storage unit. There is also a stern platform with a linear lift for launching and hauling up the tender. The nineteen squared meters cockpit has a living area with free-standing furniture for greater flexibility in terms of layout and use. In the 29 squared meters interior saloon, the dining room of the standard version can be replaced by a show kitchen with a bar counter and stools. The yacht’s main galley is at the forward end of the main deck, with an electrically operated sliding glass door providing direct access to the All-Season Terrace. The hallmark of the range is its iconic covered terrace, sheltered by an extension to the superstructure for protection in all weather conditions and total privacy. On INFynito 80, the thirteen squared meters terrace can be configured as a dinette, with seating and an extending table, or as a bar counter. The raised helm station provides excellent visibility and is accessed by a staircase in the centre of the main deck. The upper deck, which is closed on bigger 90 sister, will be a totally open sundeck in the standard version, and a semi-closed one with glass panels as an option on this InFynito 80. The hard top provides shade for the entire dining area and foredeck. The stern section of the upper deck is a sunbathing area with free-standing furniture and an outdoor galley. The 43 squared meters lower deck has a master stateroom at the midships, a VIP suite forward, and two guest cabins. The crew quarters contain two cabins sleeping a total of three people.

New Model: Heesen 55-meter YN 20255

Heesen is delighted to announce the delivery of the first yacht of the restyled 55-metre series following intensive tests in the North Sea. Titled m/y Iris Blue Heesen yard number 20255 met all the required specifications, and the tests were conducted smoothly and according to plans. During the second day of trials, the super yacht was tested in rough sea conditions, with waves up to 1.7 metres from north to northwest and westerly to north-westerly winds with gusts up to 28 knots. Just like her foresisters, YN 20255 proved to be highly responsive, accepting steering commands immediately. The use of large rudders in conjunction with a powerful steering unit makes for a very quick reaction, as does the high pitch of the propellers. The overall effect instils great confidence in the captain when manoeuvring in strong wind conditions. Frank Laupman of Omega Architects, the original designer of this series, carried out the restyle of the exterior lines. The design restyling lends the super yacht a more assertive stance on the water. The owner's quarters now feature a veranda on the starboard side, which is a truly transformative innovation. This feature is something truly unique that fundamentally changes the space experience in the 78 sqm stateroom, which now also includes new walk-in wardrobes. The possibility to access an outdoor area in complete privacy is a wonderful addition to this space. The layout has also been reconsidered and now features a larger sundeck with a bar around the whirlpool forward. On the main deck, the central atrium has been modernised, with a wider and revised main staircase, while there is an additional companionway from the wheelhouse deck up to the sun deck to ease crew access.

New Model: Arcadia A96

Arcadia debuted its new A96 model at the Cannes boat show in September 2023, a pocket super yacht of 29 metres in length-over-all and just short of eight metres in beam. The A96 is the next evolution from Arcadia which adds the unique features of its two product lines, huge stern terraces and easy manoeuvrable IPS propulsion system with twenty knots plus top speed typical of the Sherpa range, as well as embracing the immense volumes and sumptuously high level of services of the A line. As is always the case with Arcadia the focus on contact with nature runs deep: the yacht’s spaces merge into the surrounding panorama, while concept, external lines and onboard technology are all meticulously designed to offer total wellbeing, charting a new course for the brand. From the swim platform to the bow, the spaces flow seamlessly into one another, allowing the owner to choose between the conviviality of the main deck, a more discrete setting on the upper deck, and total privacy in the bow area. Sliding doors make for highly versatile living areas on the Main and Upper Decks, where the side and aft walls can be opened to transform these settings into open air spaces. High service standards are ensured by the separation of guest and crew flows, including a dedicated crew stairway, by the fully appointed pantry, and optionally by a second day toilet on the Upper Deck. There are five cabins: the owner’s full-beam, light-filled cabin is in the forward section of the Main Deck, while the four guest cabins are on the Lower Deck. For the interiors, the shipyard asked Igor Lobanov to privilege natural and, where possible, eco-friendly materials in a design characterized by soft lines and furnishings that have a pleasing hand feel, resulting in sleek curves and dark lacquered surfaces inspired by Art Deco. The colour palette is neutral and pale, with dark or metallic accents for contrast. A96 hull number one has three unique plus points in terms of volume, top speed up to 23 knots and sheer surface area, offering over four hundred square metres of liveable space. A lot of work went into optimizing weights, increasing structural comfort and boosting the efficiency of all the wiring and piping systems and the thermo-acoustic insulation of the engine room. The four Volvo Penta 1000hp engines with IPS pod propulsion in this unit offers easy manoeuvrability, thanks to joystick control and stability when pitching thanks to the interceptors and the satellite dynamic positioning system. The shallow draught and compact engine size mean that A96 can cruise in practically any waters. Thanks to collaboration with Volvo Penta and Garmin, hull one is also equipped with the most advanced port manoeuvring systems. Volvo based in Sweden supplied the Assisted Docking system that facilitates mooring operations, ensuring maximum safety in even the most demanding conditions. Finally Arcadia A96 can be fitted with the optional Silent Mode system rated over 100kWh and powered in part by solar panels, which guarantees up to nine hours of onboard life in silent mode, while the air-conditioning in the cabins is very quiet and ensures a uniform temperature in the various areas. Waveless Stab fins from CMC Marine round out the range for optimum comfort both under way and at anchor.

Forward on the main deck, we find the infinity pool connected to the owner cabin via a lit up path with great scenic impact. The owner cabin is a true glasshouse, where the most unobtrusive uprights give centre stage to the opening floor-to-ceiling windows enhancing the sense of continuity between indoors and out. The outdoor furnishing is organic, characterized by round shapes and very modern curves combined with warm wood for a glamorous yet high-quality elegance. The equipped gym is located on the starboard side of the upper deck, which is the bridge where also the wheelhouse and the captain cabin are set.

Project: Alia Yachts 43m raised pilothouse

Alia Yachts in Turkey has started construction of a new 43-metre project with aggressive exterior lines by long-term design partners Omega Architects. In build for a client based in Miami, the design is styled around the relaxed, open-air lifestyle in Florida and the Bahamas. Omega has deliberately kept the profile low-rise and sleek with a menacing pelican-beak bow, helped by the raised pilothouse layout spread over two-and-a-half decks. With ample al fresco areas that include lounging and sunbathing on the aft deck, the foredeck, and the sundeck that also has a hottub, the new design takes the raised pilothouse configuration and stretches it to 42 metres and 380GT. The all-aluminium vessel has a shallow Bahamas draft and a Fast Displacement Hull Form known as FDHF by Van Oossanen, another of Alia’s Dutch design partners. The FDHF outperforms conventional displacement and semi-displacement hull forms at low, cruising and maximum speeds by providing high efficiency throughout the power curve. The interior comprises four guest suites on the lower deck, a master stateroom with walk-in wardrobe on the main deck forward. The lower deck further houses space for 7 crew as well as a very nice sized gym and side-loading tender garage.

Antonini Navi announces the sale for the semi-custom 33 metre Seamore.  A new superyacht chosen by an Italian owner, with a planned launch for early 2025, and then to be presented at the Cannes Yachting Festival in the fall of that year.  Seamore 33 is the first of a semi-custom series built in steel and aluminium.  With this new order, the La Spezia-based shipyard, founded in 2020 by Gruppo Antonini in partnership with Aldo Manna, sets a wider-ranging project in motion that will see Antonini Navi build and market this model, with its original, trendy styling, as a series-produced but highly customisable product.  Gruppo Antonini and Antonini Navi’s know-how in steel and aluminium metalwork will make it possible, starting from the same platform to modify the superstructure and sections of the hull, thanks in part to the intrinsic characteristics of the metal.  The project will be developed by the shipyard’s Technical Office together with Hydro Tec on exterior line design, naval architecture and engineering, while Hot Lab will handle interior designs.  The hull profile features a high, dominant bow that gives the design a sleek and sporty feel, while the volumes of the superstructure contribute to an elegant, maritime look.  The concept involves areas designed to be totally versatile and flexible, giving priority to open spaces that create unique settings for sharing and conviviality among guests. One of the most interesting features of Seamore 33 is the more than 150-square-metre open-air living space on the main deck, much of which can be closed off if needed by sliding pocket windows fitted flush with the deck.  Starting from the stern platform and extending for over 18 metres towards the bow, the unit offers a unique perception of the yacht’s seamless spaces and volumes. This huge outdoor area is joined by a further 160 square metres of al fresco space on the upper deck, of which 50 are shaded by an elegant hard-top.  The interiors stand out for their unique design, featuring a perfect balance between classic elegance and modern innovation, where strong, noble teak wood plays a key role paired with delicate pastel colours that tend towards shades of sage green, creating an atmosphere of calm and harmony with the sea.  These successes consolidate Antonini Navi as a niche brand in the construction of luxury custom super yachts

New Model: Princess Y80

During the Cannes 2023 boat show in September, Princess debuted the new Y80, a pocket super yacht which replaces the Y78 after three years in production.  The new Y80 is the second sized Princess's four model Y-range which starts with the Y72 and goes up to the Y95 which launched in the end of 2022.  The Y80 is designed by automotive famous Italian Pininfarina studio and naval architecture coming from the four decades plus collaboration with Olesinski.  For this pocket-sized super yacht Pininfarina and Princess presented a very clean profile for a Mediterranean style both inside and outside, and a soft S-shear line which goes up slightly forward.  Below is also a traditional four cabins layout with the usual full beam owners stateroom at midships, a VIP suite forward, and two guest cabins in between.  The saloon gives an open space feel, further enhanced by the uninterrupted views provided by the floor to ceiling windows.  There is a certain cleanliness of the design which makes it modern yet cosy without feeling minimal.  The main deck also comes with a few options from the standard open galley which can be ordered to become enclosed by electrical move-up panels, and a choice for the aft deck, from the standard traditional forward looking C-shaped dinette to a veranda styled and glazed stern for open views.  The Princess Y80 is standard powered by twin Man 1650hp for speeds up to 29 knots and or 1900hp option for an extra three knots at wide open throttle.

Project: Rosetti 40m Explorer

Rosetti presents the project of the 40m Explorer which builds on the astounding triple award winning 38m Explorer platform which has launched two units in 2021 and 23, and the first hull completing two Atlantic crossings in its first year of service. The Rosetti 40m Explorer is a  Sergio Cutolo of Hydro Tec project, based on the two meter smaller sister, recognizable by the new longer sloop stern. As is expected the Rosetti 40m Explorer follows the 38m for super yacht elegant line looks with full explorer qualities for a range of more than 5,000 nautical miles at a speed of ten knots, and considerable fuel and water tank capacities as well as galley and storage. The four decks are flooded with natural light that enters from the large windows, while the large outdoor and indoor spaces are designed to interact with each other and ensure that guests experience both a social and private life.  On the 40m Explorer Rosetti is also offering exclusive décor coming from Luxury Living Group for both loose furniture, fabrics, essences, and metals.  Luxury Living Group has for over forty years designed, produced and distribution luxury furniture for some of the most important international brands as Versace, Dolce&Gabbana, Trussardi, Bentley Motors and Bugatti, in addition to its own brand Luxence Luxury Living.
