Project: Van der Valk 30-Meter Project Berlin

Van der Valk presents the thirty meter project Berlin as designed by Guido de Groot. The project began in January 2025 when the owners decided to pursue a custom build to achieve their ideal layout for extended living aboard from April through October. The modern design remains under the 24-metre regulatory threshold of load-line-length, simplifying technical requirements while delivering the space and comfort of what nowadays is called a pocket super yacht. Project Berlin features an asymmetric layout, optimizing its seven metre beam for interior volume. The standout salon boasts large windows measuring nearly three metres long by two metres high that open for ventilation.  Rather than the typical four guest cabins, the yacht offers just two large VIP en-suite staterooms on the lower deck, tailored to the owners’ specific usage. The full-beam master suite on the main deck forward includes similarly impressive opening windows for sea views and fresh air. The custom interior will blend modern style with comfort through a playful aesthetic developed with the owners, who plan to use the yacht as a partial liveaboard rather than for charter or entertaining large groups. The yacht’s beam translates to expansive deck areas, with a sundeck featuring an aft spa pool with wraparound sun-pads, multiple seating and dining areas, plus a substantial outdoor galley with barbecue. The bow deck offers additional seating and sunpad space, reflecting the owners’ emphasis on maximizing both indoor and outdoor living. Staying below 24 metres provides practical advantages, including simplified technical installations and the ability to incorporate a tender garage for a four meter jet-diesel tender, without compromising engine room access. Despite relaxed crew regulations at this length, the owners prioritized exceptional crew welfare with three cabins, a large crew mess, and a dedicated laundry; amenities rarely found even on larger yachts. Project Berlin will feature a semi-displacement hard chine hull giving a draft of just two meters, and powered by twin MTU 1952hp will deliver a top speed of 25 knots and a twenty-knot cruise. Project Berlin is to be built in aluminium to MCA standards

New Launch: Van der Valk 39.92 M Hull no WV0145

Dutch boutique custom shipyard Van der Valk has launched its largest yacht to date, the 39.92-metre Hull number WV0145, at its facilities in Waalwijk, the Netherlands. Titled Project Evo during construction WV0145 has been christened as Shine during a launch ceremony attended by her owners, the craftsmen who brought the project to life, representatives from the design and engineering teams, owner’s representative, who introduced the owners to Van der Valk, and other members of the project team. Exterior styling for WV0145 was developed by Cristiano Gatto Design, based on an original concept by Franco Gianni of SFG Design that initially captured the owners’ attention. Cristiano Gatto Design was appointed to develop the general arrangement and interior design, later refining deck areas and contributing to the evolution of the exterior lines to ensure a cohesive overall aesthetic. A central part of the brief was to keep the yacht within an owner-friendly size, as the owner prefers to drive his own vessels, while achieving the level of finish expected on much larger yachts. The result is an interior defined by craftsmanship and material richness, featuring approximately 78 different materials, including ebony wood and fine leather finishes. Custom furniture pieces that helped inspire the project are integrated throughout the yacht. Performance was another key priority. Van der Valk WV0145 features a round-bilge, fast displacement hull refined by Ginton Naval Architects, Diana Yacht Design doing the structural analysis. Combined with lightweight aluminium construction and twin MTU 2600hp engines this custom 39 meter Van der Valk reaches top speeds up to 24 knots and a cruise of nineteen.

New Model: Picchiotti Gentleman 24

The Gentleman 24 is the first model of the renewed Picchiotti line launched under The Italian Sea Group ownership.  Presented at the Cannes Yachting Festival 2025, she represents the beginning of a new era for Picchiotti, realised with Luca Dini who designed both exterior and interiors. For those who think they have seen this yacht before, you are not wrong as this Luca Dini design, albeit a bit different was first announced as the Cantieri di Pisa Kitalpha 22 project in 2016 which was never made, but Codecasa takes the Luca Dini designs and in 2023 launch the similar but Kitalpha larger Classic Yacht 24, and then again launch the larger Classic 110 earlier last year, which looks to be the Picchiotti Gentleman 33 project.  Picchiotti has also a project for a larger Gentleman 44, which will complete the Gentleman three model classic yacht fleet from 24 to 44 meters in length.  Nonetheless this is a valid project, but who is making it gets a little confusing, although at this moment I imagine that The Italian Sea Group have bought the rights of the designs from Luca Dini.  The Gentleman 24 is offered in four cabins, though the first hull features a three cabins layout, with two crew cabins.  The Picchiotti 24 Gentleman is powered by twin MAN 1300hp for speeds up to nineteen knots, a cruise of sixteen, and a nine knots easy going giving a 1,800 nautical miles long range.  Engines up to 1550hp for speeds over twenty knots are available.  As competition goes the Picchiotti Gentleman 24 is a niche product and quite unique, with the 2022 Magnolia 24m being a different but still classic looking alternative.

At the 2025 Cannes Yachting Festival Azimut debuted the Fly 82, new flagship of its best-selling Fly Series; with exteriors by Alberto Mancini, and interiors by Fabio Fantolino who is now in his third Azimut project.  For the Fly 82 Fantolino combined the essence of Azimut’s signature aesthetics with innovative layout solutions and a significant advancement in the brand’s vision of open-air living.  The exterior lines are the expression of Mancini’s design approach for Azimut, who follows the looks he introduced with the Fly 62 in 2024: sculpted sharp and shaped by the wind, appearing in motion even when at rest.  The Fly 82 is also the first model in the Fly Series to incorporate the Deck2Deck™ system, originally developed by Azimut for the Grande 26M to maximize social space at the stern, and then introduced on larger models. Designed with versatility at its core, the opening transom rises to align seamlessly with the aft edge of the main deck, extending the boundaries of space and transforming the cockpit terrace into the true heart of conviviality.  Inside the dialogue between Azimut and Fabio Fantolino unfolds in an atmosphere of refined, softly elegant style, a language that speaks of harmony and sophistication and that has become the shared signature for the Fly Series. The space revolves around its natural focal point, a generous round dining table that transforms the saloon into a stage for conviviality.

The keel forms the structural backbone of the yacht, the very foundation upon which every other component will be built. In maritime tradition, this ceremony represents the birth of the ship, embodying the beginning of its journey from a design or dream into a tangible reality. It is often seen as the foundation of “everything,” symbolizing strength, stability, and the promise of the vessel’s future life at sea. RAW’s keel laying was no exception, and it was a deeply emotional and joyful private ceremony. When asked about the features that attracted him most, the Owner said that much appreciated was the refreshing aesthetics crafted by Cassetta, with whom an immediate affinity was felt. From a functional point of view, extremely generous liveable spaces and volumes, and the seamless connection between large indoor and outdoor spaces were winning points, alongside the yacht’s technical reliability. Among his early requests, already anticipated in the design, was the inclusion of a large tender and ample storage space for multiple toys at the bow. Additionally, he wanted to enjoy biking, his favorite sport, even while on holiday aboard his yacht. To accommodate this, several bicycles will be stored in a dedicated, easily accessible area on the aft beach, enclosed by bulwarks.
