Project: Cantieri di Pisa Custom 40

Cantieri di Pisa’s Custom Division celebrated the start of construction work on a 40-metre full custom yacht at its shipyard with the coin ceremony, a fascinating ritual with deep roots in maritime tradition. Called as the Cantieri di Pisa Custom 40, this made to order super yacht was sold by the shipyard a few months ago, extends across four decks and has a steel hull with an aluminium and composite superstructure. In an unusual feature for a 40-metre boat, this yacht has six cabins for guests and four for the crew on the Lower Deck, plus the captain’s cabin and the first officer’s quarters on the Bridge Deck. Antonio Luxardo’s design projects a highly original style that’s perfectly aligned with the brand identity and the owner’s wishes. This majestic yacht created by the Custom Division features sleek exterior lines that immediately bring to mind the classic style features of the shipyard’s most iconic models, such as the black and white air intake grilles, the black band running the length of the hull and the handrails transformed into design features. The custom yacht will have a gross tonnage under 500 GT and a length of 40 metres, providing the right space and comfort for a unique new layout on a boat this size, starting with the six cabins for guests; a refined owner’s stateroom with a private terrace forward on the Main Deck, plus four guest cabins and a VIP cabin on the Lower Deck. Then there are the six crew cabins, including the captain’s cabin next to the wheelhouse and the first officer’s quarters on the Bridge Deck. Two generous salons are located on the Main and Bridge Decks. The relaxation areas on all four decks are designed with loose furniture, sun loungers, sofas and sunbeds, while the aft cockpit is home to a large Jacuzzi. Also suitable for charter, the yacht is ideal for cruising anywhere in the world and features state-of-the-art entertainment systems. The Cantiere di Pisa Custom 40 engineering was developed by Studio Sa.Ma.Re Design by Francesco Samarelli with support from Antonio Luxardo, chief designer at Cantieri di Pisa, and Optima Design, the firm he founded in La Spezia. Built to Bureau Veritas class from steel and the superstructure from aluminium and advanced composite materials using vacuum technology, a distinguishing feature of Cantieri di Pisa’s product line that results in lighter weight and a lower centre of gravity, and therefore better propulsion efficiency and reduced fuel consumption. The large garage in the midship section of the yacht has a lateral launching system for a tender up to 6.6 metres in length, plus various water toys and a jet ski. There’s also a fully fitted galley, various pantries on all four decks, fridge and freezer areas and a high-capacity laundry, which taken together with the generous storage spaces on every deck, make this 40-metre yacht ideal for long stays on board in total comfort. The propulsion will be provided by two Man 1550hp engines, giving the Custom 40 an estimated top speed of fifteen knots and a range of 2,000 nautical miles at cruising speed.

New Model: Benetti B.Now 67M

Benetti is pleased to announce the delivery of the first B.Now 67M. Titled m/y Iryna, the first Benetti B.Now 67M shows how this semi-custom platform-based is in reality more a tailor-made superyacht design that leaves plenty of room for customisation. The exterior styling by Redman Whiteley Dixon and the interior design is by Benetti, who working in close contact with owner’s representative to create an ambitious project in a successful line. At the Benetti Shipyard in Livorno, the B.Now 67M was handed over to her owner, an established customer and admirer of the Shipyard, which completed the project in less than three years. The first unit in the B.Now 67M yacht of five sold, was ordered with the Oasis Deck, which again shows Benetti’s ability to deliver custom projects. The first Benetti B.Now 67M also received official recognition from Lloyd’s Register certifying the yacht as a point of excellence. This steel superyacht stands out for her multiple customisations, not least the colour of the hull and superstructure, personalised with three different greys created especially for this unit. The B.Now 67M also features extensive, mainly curved glazing that covers up to 70% of the overall vertical surface area and lets natural light flood into the indoor spaces, designed by Benetti’s Interior Design Department under the guidance of Benetti Style Manager Mariorosa Remedi. Some of the settings were designed entirely in-house by the Shipyard’s Style Department, such as the four guest cabins on the Lower Deck that showcase this first B.Now 67M unique character and detailing. Examples are the pleated leather produced exclusively for this super yacht and the colours chosen for the fabrics, inspired by the four seasons. The ceilings clad in a new generation leather, tanned using natural materials, and the marble-effect ceramic slabs reveal an environmentally conscious selection of materials. The choice of wood also involved careful consideration of environmental certifications issued by the most authoritative international bodies, including the FSC Forest Stewardship Council and the PEFC Programme for the Endorsement of Forest Certification, ensuring responsibly managed forests with a focus on biodiversity and the wellbeing of local communities. This first Benetti B.Now 67M layout also differs from the original design, particularly in terms of the numerous wellness areas, including a sauna in the beach club and a gym on the main deck, as requested by the owner. The exterior styling by RWD, the UK firm with which Benetti has worked successfully on the entire B.Now line. 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, it can accommodate up to 15 guests. The design accessories on board this first B.Now 67M are by Visionnaire, a brand favoured by the owner for its excellent craftsmanship and the quality of the materials, both perfectly in tune with Benetti’s mission to offer a unique aesthetic and sensory experience.

Projects: Amer F106, Amer F126

Amer is very active in offering projects in this moment, and apart its entry into larger sizes up to seventy meters present the the F 106 and F 126 upcoming models both of which are designed by Antonio Luxardo.  The F106 pictured above is a natural evolution of the Amer F 100 of which six units have been build.  The style of the Amer F 106 gives continuity to the stylistic features of the previous F 100, making it even more elegant and distinctive.  Based on the experience gained, efficiency has been further improved.  The widel body has again allowed to emphasize and increase the interior spaces to the benefit of large panoramic windows and generous dimensions dedicated to the fly-bridge.  The Amer F 106 is to be powered by quadruple Volvo 1000hp with four or two IPS pod drives in the upcoming two into one next generation pod drives.

Flagship of the Amer Yachts series, the F 126 is a concept created by the shipyard to make the most of the potential of interior and exterior spaces and designed for intensive use, with charter also being put in the equation of design.  Like the smaller F 106 the F 126 is a replacement of the 120 of which six units have been delivered.  For the Amer F 126 Antonio Luxardo presents again sporty lines and a streamlined silhouette, while the hull designed with quadruple Volvo 1000hp and IPS pod drive propulsion also guarantees low consumption.  Both Amer F 126 and F 120 are building with hybridization of materials; aluminium super structure and a fibreglass made hull.  Ecological consciousness is also part of the build with new composite used, which at end of life are recyclable.

Project: GX Superyachts 34 RPH

GX Superyachts has unveiled the project for an upcoming GX34 at the Palm Beach International Boat Show 2025. With sleek, timeless design and fantastic exterior spaces, it is proof positive that responsible design need make no compromise on comfort or functionality. The announcement of the new model comes hot on the heels of news that building work has already begun on the brand’s GX42 flagship. There has been such a clamour of interest around the debut of this exciting new sustainable super yachting business, that it made sense to proceed quickly with a second model. Like its bigger sister, the heart of the GX34 project is the tantalising promise of the full superyacht lifestyle without the full CO2 emissions that usually accompany it. Under the banner of the Responsible Yachting movement, GX Superyachts is spearheading a revolution in the way that even large yachts can maximise electrical power and reduce their reliance on traditional diesel. The result for the GX34 is emissions that are 30% lower than the standard. Through sister company Greenline Yachts, GX Superyachts can draw on decades of experience in hybrid diesel-electric propulsion. The solution combines twin 200kW electric motors with up to 2132kW of diesel power, for the best of both worlds. There is silent and vibration-free electric propulsion over short distances with powerful, efficient internal combustion engines for greater speeds and distances. A vast lithium-ion battery bank of up to 800kWh permits optimum power management. With the option of up to 46 solar panels for. The GX34 RPH set into the superstructure and hard top, the GX34 can generate up to 30MWh of solar energy per year to spend long periods at anchor without the need to switch on the generators. Even with the air conditioning turned right up and the help of the very efficient battery, the yacht can run hotel systems in silent electric mode for up to 48 hours, ensuring guests get a comfortable night’s sleep. And with a greater reliance on natural ventilation, that silent period lengthens considerably. When battery levels fall too low, super-efficient generators start up automatically for rapid three-hour charging. And for longer, faster passages, the twin diesel engines take the strain. In this mode, the electric motors can serve as battery chargers as well, utilising energy ‘wasted’ by the engines. This ensures that the GX34 reaches its destination with full batteries. The GX34 delivers impressive performance, boasting an oceanic range of 10,000 nautical miles in hybrid mode at six knots. It cruises comfortably at twelve knots and can reach a top speed of sixteen knots, depending on the chosen performance package, which includes the option of twin 749kW engines. Larger engine configurations and "Hybrid Sport" packages are currently under study. To create an exceptional product takes exceptional design, so GX Superyachts has assembled a team of internationally prominent designers. Marco Casali is responsible for the exterior looks and the interior styling, while Francesco Rogantin of NAMES has tuned the naval architecture for maximum efficiency and stability. The yacht unveiled at Palm Beach is the raised pilot house RPH variant, with a low-profile flybridge crowning the superstructure. But like all GX Superyachts, there is a Fly and an even slicker Coupe version available, where the roof of the superstructure forms a single elegant convex curve. All models feature a generously shaded guest cockpit aft with dining space and comfortable lounge seating. A sensational entertaining and relaxing space is centred on the lower aft deck, which grows to more than 50 square metres of space when the two side wings are lowered.  There’s the option of a saltwater pool integrated into the aft platform, which has been designed to lift and store a tender up to four meters long. On the GX34 RPH version, the generous flybridge deck can be configured according to the owner’s wishes. Informal dining, epic lounging space and a bar are all part of the vision, and the designers have also studied the option for a Jacuzzi, positioned aft with an unbeatable view. Proportions for the interior are equally grandiose. There are five guest cabins, the jewel of which is naturally the owner’s stateroom, occupying pride of place forward on the main deck. From the owner’s king-size bed, there are sweeping 270-degree views of the horizon through deep glazing. Naturally enough at this scale, the owner is welcome to bring their own designer to the project, but Casali has imagined an interior that perfectly complements the clean, aerodynamic lines of the exterior. It’s all about natural woods, leathers and stones that create a comfortable, calming oasis. These are carefully selected for their sustainability, closing the circle on this yacht’s philosophy of Responsible Yachting.

Coming from a design of Zuccon, the SD132 is the largest ever to come from Sanlorenzo SD line, replacing the SD126 as the flaghsip, but is also the Italian builder largest fiberglass build to date.  Debuting in 2007 with the Paszkowski designed SD92, the SD line was the first initiative of Massimo Perotti new ownership to branch Sanlorenzo in other areas of motor yachting, beyond the offer of modern conservative looking planning motor yachts the respected Viareggio builder was known for at the time.  The SD line proved a winner for Sanlorenzo which as at today has delivered over a hundred hulls, in a total of seven models from 27 to forty meters in size.  This first SD132 was titled m/y Andiamo, which translates in English to Lets Go and also featured interiors designed by the same Zuccon.  While featuring the same classic inspired design the SD132 is full of modern amenities like an expandable beach area with drop down bulk heads which is also connected to the aft deck, and features a bar area with TV, but also a side tender garage, and a second garage on the bow deck.  The Sanlorenzo SD132 unlike other SD models is also asymmetric with it being wide body to starboard of the main deck.  The Sanlorenzo SD132 is powered by twin Man 1650hp or Cat 1622hp for speeds up to seventeen knots, a cruise of thirteen, and maximum range up to 3200 nautical miles.  The Sanlorenzo SD132 has already gone off to a flying start with five other hulls already signed before this first unit was completed.

Project: Tankoa S520

Tankoa looks forward to its success, and follows the popularity of the fifty metre S501 semi custom platform, with the project of the S520 which was revealed during the 2025 Palm Beach boat show.  Coming again from the drawing board of Francesco Paszkowski, the new Tankoa S520 lengthens the S501 platform from fifty to 52 metres whilst maintaining the same winning proportions found on the previous model.  The S520 is a refreshed and two meter larger S501, in both exterior design and layout choices, with three key differences; expanded stern area, floor to ceiling windows, and more exterior spaces.  A key distinction between the S520 and the S501 can be found in the significant enhancement of the outdoor spaces on offer. This includes a longer and wider sun deck, which now comes complete with an infinity pool, an enlarged upper deck sky-lounge and an extended flybridge.  Paszkowski has reimagined the stern of the S520 so that it joins the main deck, aft platform and beach club seamlessly, thus creating the ultimate beach club concept.  This light-filled space has flexible spaces which can be arranged for a plethora of different purposes, split across two levels and opens up onto two side platforms, resulting in unparalleled contact with the ocean.  Benefitting from three light sources, a porthole facing the pool and two side portholes along the hull this space also features two sunbathing areas protected by glass which are integrated into the hull and enable usability even while cruising.  The cleverly incorporated ‘functional elements’ found in the S520 are numerous, but of note is the crane for the tender at the bow, which has been integrated into the overall design, rather than appearing as a separate technical component. Furthermore, the gangway is seamlessly built into the aft platform, majorly boosting the liveability of this space.  Relocating the staircases to the port side which serves to expand the upper deck aft and establish a fully-dedicated entertainment area the upper deck forward is purely dedicated to toy storage: ideal for the current and future generation of adventurous owners.  For the interior the standard offer is the established collaboration between Francesco Paszkowski and Margherita Casprini, the two designers have collaborated on a number of Tankoa projects over the years from the recently launched T580, the first S501, the S501 Evo, and S701.  Although being a semi custom platform, an owner can still bring his interior designer of choice.  The S520 interior is all about high ceilings and large windows than her predecessor, the architectural choices made by Paszkowski feature overlapping panels and partitions which create intentional fragmentation within the spaces for a distinctively modern effect. On the main deck, the living and dining areas are separated by panels whilst still remaining highly unified spaces. The elements found in the generous owner’s stateroom; a bedroom, lounge, study, walk-in wardrobe and vanity area, function as independent yet connected spaces. The rounded shapes and materials found here effortlessly link areas between floors and ceilings.  Indeed, throughout the S520 the carefully chosen materials cleverly join the different areas, with the subtle grey-toned colour palette extending into the furnishings and reinforcing the strong visual link between interior and exterior spaces.  The Tankoa S502 is to be powered by twin Man 1430hp engines for a top speed up to sixteen knots, a cruise of fifteen, and a long range up to 3750 nautical miles at twelve knots.

One of the distinctive features of Project Life is the Beach Area, the result of a deep cooperation between Espen Øino International and Zuretti Design, which sets the stage for a new lifestyle in the yacht’s stern area. This space is open on three sides allowing guests to move freely between the various settings as well as providing greater interconnection between the Beach Platform and the indoor Beach Club. Two fourteen-meter fold-down side doors and a spacious swim platform connect the Beach Club directly to the sea, creating a seamless, immersive experience.

The Owner’s area continues with the Sky-lounge, a glass-enclosed space furnished with comfortable sofas. It creates a unique spot to enjoy the sights and sounds of the sea, offering the owners a truly special retreat. The Bridge Deck aft is designed as a breath taking open-air dining space, delivering an unparalleled al fresco experience. Sheltered from the wind and surrounded by nature, the carefully arranged lounges and dining areas cater to both intimate dinners and larger gatherings. A standout feature of the Bridge Deck is its innovative live-cooking setup, with two dedicated outdoor stations that allow guests to interact directly with the chef. Benetti Project Life also stands out for the use of innovative technological solutions to reduce environmental impact. Taking an integrated approach, the yacht’s high-efficiency, optimised hull is combined with diesel-electric architecture with pod propulsion for the best efficiency, manoeuvrability and comfort. It is also designed to operate on both diesel and non-fossil fuels including HVO, enabling emissions to be drastically reduced.

Project: Sunseeker 135 Yacht

Sunseeker has during the 2025 Dusseldorf boat show presented project details for an upcoming 135 Yacht model.  The 135 Yacht is a replacement to the 131 Yacht, which was in itself a further evolution of the 40M Yacht, with these two models selling nineteen and thirteen hulls respectively for a production which started in 2010 and lasted till 2022.  This is not the first time Sunseeker present a replacement to the successful 131 Yacht, as in 2019 they announced the 133 Yacht project, a vertical bow volume focused super yacht with round bilge semi displacement hull which was to arrive two years later, and ultimately never materialized, although that project evolved eventually into the still in project Ocean 460.  The first 135 Yacht is scheduled for a delivery in 2027, although it is not advised if Sunseeker has an order, or is building one on speculation.  Sunseeker so far advised that the new forty meter super yacht has the hard chine planning hull form of the previous 131 model extended in length.  This extension will give a beach club area, with retractable bulwarks which become balconies and expand the size of the aft deck.  Another announced novelty in the Sunseeker 135 Yacht will be a sky-lounge in the upper deck.  Interior design for the 135 Yacht will come from long time Sunseeker collaborator Design Unlimited, which presented a five cabins layout, with a main deck master stateroom which will feature an office space and a bath tub en-suite bathroom.  Performance details have not been provided but for guidance the 131 Yacht used to be powered by twin MTU 3181hp engines which give a top speed up to 25 knots and a fast cruise of fourteen knots.
