Project: Palm Beach PB107 Skylounge

Palm Beach present the project for a new 107 flagship model.  This new flagship which is reported sold and under construction, comes a few months following the announcement of the upcoming 85 model.  The Palm Beach 107 embodies the core values, with the signature timeless Down East lobster boat inspired aesthetics, exceptional craftsmanship, performance, and unrivalled fuel efficiency that have defined the brand since its inception in 1995. As the company’s newest flagship, the PB107 will be built using Palm Beach proprietary V-Warp hull shape technology and is to powered by the upcoming Volvo IPS 40 propulsion set up, which is able to set two engines on one drives.  For the the Palm Beach 107 this will be a quadruple 1000hp engines but with two drives set ups.  The first Palm Beach 107 is a Skylounge version, which seems to be the only one available so far, although I am sure that this lobster boat inspired super yacht is available in both open flybridge and hard-top versions if one wanted to go in that direction for a new build.

New Model: Sunseeker Ocean 156

Boasting a much larger feeling of space than other yachts of its size and with extremely flexible design options, the Ocean 156 is set to be a phenomenon in every ocean across the globe.  With a completely enclosed upper deck, like the Ocean 182 and single helm station, the Ocean 156 leaves ample space on board for multi-purpose use, thanks to maximised internal volume and gross tonnage, especially in her seamless, extended saloon and upper deck area.  The upper deck area has similarities to a Portuguese deck with more space, allowing usable, social areas for seating, sun pads and spa tub options. Throughout, design layouts are completely customisable enabling owners to personalise to their own style and practical needs. This is made more achievable thanks to minimal intrusions such as fixed furniture as well as single-level flooring throughout the majority of space on board.  Step into the main deck saloon and you are met with a 360˚panoramic vista owed to the full height and vertical glazing surround. With a luxury penthouse apartment feel, the area can be customised with multiple arrangements including an open galley and dining aft with bar area forward for an open plan set up. Patio doors are situated port and starboard to connect the outside with the stunning interior and an impressive vertical, glazed, floating staircase sits centrally but is subtle so as not to draw the eye away from the impressive settings. Another option for those who favour more privacy, with crew on board, is a central galley layout with options to enclose at varying levels, separating guests and crew. A large saloon sofa seat and TV sits aft with bar and dining forward of the galley and counter-level worktops.  The Ocean 156 accommodates a master stateroom option on the main deck to benefit owners from the impressive views and foredeck access outside.

There is also option for crew accommodation forward of the engine room with appliance block and worktop space for self-sufficiency.

New Model: Benetti B.Now 67M

On July 19 at its Livorno shipyard, Benetti marked a new milestone with the launch of M/Y Iryna 66m, the first model in the B.Now 67M semi-custom family. The owner renewed his confidence in the Shipyard by commissioning the construction of this vessel, eager to continue his evolution in the Benetti range, with the guarantee of superior construction and design quality. The exterior styling is by Redman Whiteley Dixon, the renowned UK firm with which Benetti has worked successfully on the entire B.Now line. The first B.Now 67M features the innovative Oasis Deck® concept, a solution that revolutionizes the aft cockpit concept, transforming the vertical barriers into an extension of the deck and offering more conviviality in contact with the sea, a built-in pool, and a 270-degree field of view in 190 square metres of surface area. The aft salon is a mix of sunlight and shade so that guests can enjoy the deck at any time of day, while the Social Design turns the entire deck into a spacious oasis of conviviality. The colouring of the hull and superstructure is personalized to point up the exterior styling with three different shades of grey. The boat is also characterized by extensive, mainly curved glazing that covers up to 70% of the overall vertical surface area. The almost entirely bespoke interiors were designed by Benetti’s Interior Design Department under the direction of Mariarosa Remedi. A crucial role in defining the spaces was played by the owner, who asked the Shipyard to create a setting to showcase the loose furniture produced by one of his favourite brands, Visionnaire. The spacious interiors are exquisitely clad in leather that hasn’t been treated with chemicals and, in the case of the Lower Deck, is custom designed for this boat. Prestige woods, such as curly maple wood and macassar ebony, cover the floors together with marble-effect ceramic tiling, chosen by the customer as a more ecological alternative to marble. With a steel hull, the Benetti B.Now 67M has six decks. From the top observation deck down to the under Lower deck, this super yacht is extremely spacious both outdoors, with around 500 square metres of usable space, and indoors with a 65-square-metre Main Salon and a full-beam owner’s suite on the Upper Deck, made possible by moving the wheelhouse and captain’s cabin up to the next deck. With two VIP cabins on the Main Deck and four cabins on the Lower Deck, the B.Now 67M accommodates up to 15 guests. There are numerous wellness areas, including a sauna in the beach club and a gym on the Main Deck, both built at the owner’s request. This new boat will be delivered to her owner at the end of the summer in a new record for Benetti, which with the B.Now platform concept successfully completed the project in under three years from the first sketches on a blank sheet of paper.

The interior design mood chosen for this unit is Contemporary, inspired by the fresh color tones of the sea. The upper deck on InFynito 90 is replaced on the InFynito 80 by a completely open sundeck, with a hard-top providing shade for the entire dining area and helm station. The stern area on the upper deck, reserved for sunbathing, is furnished with freestanding sun loungers. The main deck layout features a main salon with twin face-to-face sofas and a TV that swings down from the ceiling. The galley occupies the forward section of the deck, with a recessed electric window that looks onto the iconic All-Season Terrace, one of the highlights of the entire range. Sheltered by an extension to the superstructure for greater protection and privacy, this terrace is a comfortable private space containing a dinette or bar area and a generous sofa to relax on in the shade. The lower deck has four guest cabins, all with en-suite bathroom, sleeping a total of eight people. The crew area amidships can be entered privately from the walkway on the port side and contains two separate cabins sleeping three. The first InFynito 80 is fitted with the optional Man 1400hp engines and can reach a top speed of 22 knots and a cruising speed of 17.  As standard power the Ferretti InFynito 80 is powered by twin Man 1200hp which reduce both top and fast cruising speed by two knots.  The Ferretti InFynito 80 will debut at the Cannes 2024 boat show, the coming September.
