Project: Sanlorenzo SX120

Sanlorenzo presents the SX120 project, the largest-ever yacht in the Italian SX crossover range, as designed by Zuccon with interiors by Piero Lissoni.  Sanlorenzo's SX crossover explorer line has been a huge success for the World famous Italian brand, a range which debuted with the SX88 as designed by Mauro Micheli in 2017, with this followed by the smaller SX76 and to date has sold in over 160 hulls and four models produced.  This new big SX120 is to be a replacement of the SX112 which in a five years production has sold in sixteen hulls, and is to add some unedited features which appear for the first time in the range.  The big news is that it will use the new Volvo professional set up, of two engines per pod drive, by what is understood is that she is the first yacht to be commercialized with this propulsion which was announced by the Swedish engine maker at the Dusseldorf boat show of 2024.  The real unique traits of the SX120 though and helped by its 35 meters of length, will be a master stateroom on the forward deck, and a top fourth deck with free moving furniture, what Sanlorenzo calls the Sun Deck.  For the rest the SX120 builds on the features of the previous smaller SX's, from drop down bulk-heads which extend the size of the largest aft deck probably in the category with Sanlorenzo debuting these in 2023 with the SX100, to the lounge which serves the aft cockpit this presented on the SX112 and was then followed again on the SX100.  The first SX120 is I believe nearly completed with the first unit set to debut at the Cannes yachting festival.

Project: Maiora 42 Exuma

Maiora, a brand of Next Yacht Group, presents the project preview of the new 42 Exuma project, a yacht conceived to revolutionize the onboard experience by placing at its core the very essence of living at sea. The 42 Exuma is born from direct observation of daily life onboard and an authentic listening to the needs of owners and their guests. It breaks free from traditional nautical constraints, from guest cabins relegated to lower decks, to oversized and often underused main salons, to sacrificed crew spaces. Even the upper deck, typically the most active area on yachts of this size, has been reimagined compared to traditional layout, to offer owners and guests an exclusive space, free from forced cohabitation with technical areas and operational passages, embodying a new idea of privacy and liveability. This project proposes a human-central experience where every environment is conceived considering the real life onboard, breaking through classic archetypes. The result is a yacht that abandons the rigid, typical functional stratification of the yachting industry, giving back the yacht to its owner and the time spent at sea. The Maiora 42 Exuma was designed by the Maiora team, in collaboration with designer Giorgio Maria Cassetta for the exterior and Elie Saab for the interior. The concept and space planning were developed by the shipyard, proposing with this project a new living paradigm onboard. The exterior lines are signed by Giorgio Maria Cassetta, the internationally renowned designer who in eighteen years, has created more than four hundred yachts and contributed to reshaping the aesthetics of contemporary yacht design. The interiors are by Elie Saab, an expression of the unmistakable elegance of the famous couturier, bringing his sophisticated and timeless vision to the nautical world. With a length of 42 meters, the new Maiora flagship spans four decks and can comfortably accommodate up to twelve guests in four VIP cabins and the owner’s suite, all located on the main deck. The crew area includes 5 cabins for 9 people. The interiors stand out for their brightness, enhanced by extensive use of glass surfaces. The main living areas are distributed across the decks, where the functions are organized into wide and continuous spaces. The entire length of the vessel is accessible via walk-around decks in the upper deck, with both the main deck and the upper deck featuring openable terraces. The heart of the yacht is an open-space lounge on the upper deck, offering uninterrupted views from stern to bow and vice versa, an arrangement that allows those at the extreme bow to observe the entire longitudinal axis of the yacht without obstruction. The new Mairoa 42 Exuma is powered by twin IPS propulsion with four Volvo 1000hp engines for speeds up to twenty knots, and triple MTU 2600hp with MJP jet drives for top speeds up thirty knots. The first unit of the 42 Exuma has been sold, with construction started and delivery scheduled for Summer 2027.

Improve-it = Cantiere delle Marche Darwin 102

Cantiere delle Marche present the latest in its Darwin 102 semi custom series launched, as designed by Sergio Cutolo. This fifth unit of the Darwin 102's which launched first in 2015, and sixteenth Darwin unit features interiors by London-based Lawson Robb. Titled Haze2 this would be owner was introduced to the Darwin Class when he toured a 106 at the 2022 Cannes Yachting Festival. He was impressed by the yacht’s craftsmanship and engineering, noting the Darwin series’ voluminous hulls with deep, rounded sections, far more substantial than typical motor yachts of similar size. Another characteristic he greatly appreciated was the generous fuel and storage capacities, which allow all Darwin yachts to comfortably cross oceans or cruise for an entire season without needing to stop for fuel or provisioning. Following this, the Owner collaborated closely with CdM to finalize the yacht’s size and specifications. Custom touches include a redesigned wheelhouse windscreen for improved visibility and profile, and a concealed tender crane located at the aft end of the Sun Deck, similar to the RJ series. The yacht’s exterior design reflects the hallmark of Sergio Cutolo of Hydro Tec, who has overseen the development of this successful series since its inception. Haze2 features an impressive exterior that further highlights the bold character of the Darwin Class, accentuated by a daring color scheme: a metallic grey hull paired with a blue superstructure. Interior design, led by London-based Lawson Robb, are no less impressive. The yacht’s generous volumes allow to comfortably accommodate up to ten guests and a crew of six. Following an Owner’s brief synthesized in a few inputs - tactile, low gloss, light, open grain veneers, natural tones, brushed bronze, mosaic, the interior designer created an ambience that exudes a refined contemporary elegance, where sophistication is achieved through the masterful use of diverse wood veneers, metals, leather and wallpapers. Each surface tells a story, creating a layered, tactile richness. This generous application of materials grounds the space, offering warmth and timelessness. Flowing lines guide movement through the yacht’s interior, while the cleanness and linearity of most furniture add a sense of structure and modern precision. The palette leans into earthy tones periodically punctuated with vibrant accents, bringing the space to life without disturbing its calm. Lighting plays a key role, with indirect LED strips following architectural curves and custom pendant fixtures echoing the geometric language. The result is an interior that feels both serene and striking, an effortless fusion of contemporary design and luxurious comfort.  This fifth Darwin 102 is powered by twin Cats 670hp, and offers a range up to 5,000 nautical miles at nine knots.

Project: Azimut Grande 25M

Azimut present the project for a new Grande 25M.  Designed by Alberto Mancini with interiors by Yachtique, the Grande 25M is set to be the entry level for Azimut's Grande super yacht line which goes up to 44 meters.  For the Grande 25M Alberto Mancini followed looks more similar to the smaller Fly range then the large Grande models.  In many ways the Grande 25M is a classic motor yacht for this size, looking nimble and sporty, with a clean profile, and no full body to add volume inside and or a midships stateroom on the fore deck.  That is not to say the Grande 25M will not be a space searching exercise, she is in the end an Azimut, and this comes without asking, albeit here it is conservative, then some of the Grande's which came in recent years like the 26M.  The Grande 25M will also come with a couple of choices for the flybridge available in Lounge or Pool versions, and the main deck in Lounge or Dining layouts.  The lower deck is standard with a four double suite cabins layout, and two crew cabins aft sleeping three.  The Azimut Grande 25M is to be powered by twin Man 1800hp for top speeds up to thirty knots.

New Launch: Delta Marine 110

It has been anything but quiet at Delta Marine, the Seattle-based shipyard where exclusivity and confidentiality are pillars of the signature custom yacht building experience, and the buzz of innovation and creativity abounds.  As such, Delta is delighted to announce that it recently launched a new 110 super yacht, which is currently finalizing its construction phases. Developed in response to changing market dynamics, particularly in the 33 to forty meters range, the new Delta Marina 110 features a new hull platform designed for long-range efficiency and the capability for speed. Once inside, owners and guests will be transported into a world sophisticated and soothing. Transcendent colours of sand and sea will cast a captivating spa-like spell rich with comfort and texture. An elegant play of ivories and Mediterranean blue fabrics will surround rich warm oak woodwork that extends seamlessly throughout her interiors, featuring espresso wenge accents and sleek minimalist metalwork. She’ll deliver timeless comfort with the perfect complement of understated luxury. Within a seven meters beam, the Delta Marine 110 arrangement is optimized for owner operation and family adventures. The spacious interior features a main salon with U- shaped seating aft of the dining salon accommodating up to ten guests. A large galley forward can be enclosed and separated from the guest spaces and will offer a country kitchen dinette for intimate and casual gatherings, as well as a center island with bar seating. Eight guests are accommodated in four lower-deck ensuite cabins that comprise a full-beam master stateroom, mirrored convertible twin cabins, and a VIP suite in the bow. Crew accommodations for two are located aft. Walkaround side decks with control stations further lend to the ease of operation, which the owners will enjoy from the pilothouse with its twin helm seating and convertible dinette/ berth. The spacious aft deck offers prime vistas to enjoy the scenery with dining for ten, while additional seating and a full bar are situated on the bridge deck aft in a semi-enclosed space that can be thoughtfully shaded with retractable sun awnings. Appealing to avid boaters with a love for all waterborne activities, the yacht will feature a convenient beach garage for toy and gear storage as well as an articulating swim platform equipped with a Hydromar transformer sea stairs unit. The owners specified a custom aluminium tender to be stowed on the boat deck and launched by a special davit. Another brilliant feature is the yacht’s anchoring system, for which Delta partnered with the anchor manufacturer to design a hidden flush-mounted anchor in the stem of the vessel. The new double chine semi-displacement hull form is a significant build in that it is the first new hull design for Delta solely tested through Computational Fluid Dynamics analysis. It is also Delta’s first project that will meet full IMO III and EPA Tier 4 recognition, which facilitated the installation of the newest approved gas exhaust systems on the main engines. While the new hull form is designed for modest efficient cruising speeds of 12 to 14 knots —affording a longer range—the yacht is also capable of cruising much faster when necessary. The hull shape, coupled with twin MTU 2600hp each, allows the yacht to achieve an impressive top-end speed of 27 knots.

Project: Alia Yachts ALY651 65 meters

Alia Yachts is extremely proud to announce the sale of a fully custom 65m yacht. The deal was inked late 2024, and construction of the four-decker has already begun at Alia’s Antalya shipyard. The hull of ALY651 is taking shape in steel, and she will have an aluminium superstructure. When completed, she will become the new flagship of the yard. The unique project sees the Turkish superyacht builder reprising its recent collaboration with Sinot Yacht Design to deliver an exceptional lifestyle platform for this engaged owner. Diana Yacht Design of the Netherlands is developing the naval architecture for the yacht. Although the hull measures 65m, it will offer the volumes and amenities more usually associated with an 80m yacht. These include a prominent owner’s suite with a private lounge offering panoramic ocean views. The owner’s stateroom itself benefits from floor-to-ceiling glass for a profound connection to the surrounding seascape. There are four further guest cabins and a large main deck lounge, which provides a stylish and inviting space for relaxation and social gatherings. Outdoor spaces are similarly impressive and carefully designed to adapt to different needs throughout the day. A standout example is the swimming pool on the main deck aft, whose floor can be raised flush to create a large open area for entertaining guests. The yacht also offers a Jacuzzi with a view on the sundeck and another, larger one on the foredeck for the owner’s exclusive use. Sinot Yacht Design has worked with Alia Yachts and the owner to develop both the exterior design and an exquisitely detailed interior, with natural materials enhancing the overall refinement and craftsmanship for which Alia is known. It is a team which produced impressive results in the award winning 45m, delivered last year.  Currently Alia has eight custom yachts in construction from thirty to 65 meters, with this ALY651 being its largest build to date.

New Model: Cantiere delle Marche RJ155

Since its debut with the RJ130 the first model in the series which launched in 2021, the RJ line has swiftly earned a prominent place in the elite world of explorer super yachts. Designed to combine robust seafaring performance with contemporary elegance, the RJ series set a new standard for a modern expedition yacht.  The vessels’ striking lines, exceptional engineering, and long-range cruising capabilities captured the attention of industry experts and owners alike, immediately positioning the RJ series as a benchmark in its category. Riding the wave of the RJ130’s success, Cantiere delle Marche followed up with the delivery of two RJ115s. These 115-foot yachts maintained the rugged spirit of the original while introducing new levels of comfort, design finesse, and the highest level of customization, further solidifying the RJ line’s reputation for delivering vessels that blend explorer-grade performance with refined luxury, as both won the World Superyacht Award in 2024 and 2025. Now, capitalizing on the momentum and acclaim of its predecessors, Cantiere delle Marche announces the launch of the latest and most ambitious model in the series: the RJ155. Appropriately christened RJ, this 155-foot flagship represents the culmination of the yard’s vision: a super yacht that not only pushes the boundaries of size and capability but also stays true to the DNA that made the series a success. With its increased volume, extended range, and bespoke detailing, the RJ155 is set to redefine expectations yet again in the world of luxury exploration. With a length overall shy of 47m, she is the longest yacht built to date by the Ancona-based shipyard, although not for long as three Flexplorer 165 are in construction with the first scheduled for a 2027 delivery.  Though sleek in design the Cantiere delle Marche points out that the RJ155 is a true expedition vessel, which boasts the rugged capabilities of an oceangoing explorer: steel hull, aluminium superstructure, long range, generous storage, and top-tier equipment. Francesco Paszkowski shaped the yacht’s exterior, while Achille Salvagni crafted the custom interiors, including much of the loose furniture. With a total length shy of 47m, a displacement of 510t, and a Gross Tonnage just below 500GT, the RJ155 combines elegance with performance. Paszkowski’s design includes extended overhangs for shaded terraces, enhancing the indoor-outdoor connection. Naval architecture by Pierluigi Ausonio ensures seaworthiness, stability, and efficiency, aided by twin Caterpillar 1200hp engines, two pairs of electric stabilizers by CMC Marine, and a 66,400-litre fuel capacity.  She will cruise over 5,000 nm at 10 knots. Spread over three decks plus a large sundeck, RJ155 accommodates 12 guests in five suites, including an Owner’s suite with a private gym. Expansive outdoor spaces, tender storage, and a large lazarette for toys reflect CdM’s explorer DNA.

New Model: Numarine 30XP

Numarine presents its new 30XP with the first unit launched in the second half of 2024.  The 30XP neatly fills a gap in the Numarine exploring range and, thanks to the diesel-electric hybrid propulsion, it has everything it takes to set a new path and the trend to follow. The Numarine 30XP accommodates ten guests in five en-suite cabins; four VIP cabins on the lower deck and an owner’s stateroom located on the main deck forward. It is here, in the privileged realm of the Numarine yacht owner, that the 30 XP delivers its best, with full-height windows and cut-outs in the sides to maximize the view of the elements: the Sea.  Another peculiarity of the Numarine 30XP is the semi-open area at the stern.  Three folding platforms expand the available space on the beach club deck to 43 square meters. Meanwhile, unrivalled headroom has been achieved in this part of the 30XP by lifting the aft end of the main deck by just three steps. The same, again in order to optimize spaces and volumes, has been done forward, where the wheelhouse has been raised according to the stylistic dictates of Can Yalman.  The Numarine 30XP is powered by twin Man 560hp for top speeds up to thirteen knots, a cruise of ten, and a three thousand five hundred nautical mile long range at eight knots.

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: Numarine 47MXP

Numarine announces the project for the 47MXP.  The 47 is the second Numarine MXP, following the project for the 40MXP presented in 2023.  The MXP stands for Mediterranean Explorer, but the reference is not suggestive of a cruising limitation, but rather it reflects the beach-club lifestyle typical of Med yachts. The new yacht draws on the Med lifestyle idea and delivers it in several exciting ways. Designed for long-range exploration without compromising luxury, the 47MXP builds upon the success of its predecessors while offering enhanced features and expanded living spaces. Constructed with a steel hull and an aluminium superstructure, the upcoming Numarine flagship boasts a gross tonnage of 498 GT and spans four decks, delivering exceptional comfort and performance. The Numarine 47MXP retains the same hull and nine meter plus metre beam of the soon to launch 45XP, but extends its overall length, providing additional space and comfort for owners and guests. This increase in size further enhances onboard liveability while maintaining the brand’s commitment to fuel efficiency and long-range capability.  One of the most striking new features of the 47MXP is its redesigned aft and beach club area, bringing owners and guests closer to the water than ever before. The new layout includes balconies and a luxurious lounge zone, creating an intimate, resort like atmosphere perfect for relaxation and entertainment.  The 47MXP’s expansive open spaces provide breath-taking panoramic views and an immersive connection with the surrounding environment. Whether anchored in a secluded bay or cruising  through remote waters, guests will enjoy an unparalleled sense of freedom and tranquillity. The 47MXP’s interior has been masterfully crafted by Hot Lab, part of the Viken Group.  Renowned for their sophisticated and modern aesthetic, the Italian design studio is ready to deliver a warm and elegant interior.  The spacious layout includes up to six guest staterooms, inviting common areas, and a well appointed main deck owner’s suite with a private terrace, all designed for maximum comfort and privacy. Among the remarkable features of the 47MXP are two pools; one located in the bow and the other in the beach club area a spacious open upper deck for tender storage or outdoor sports, and a vast sundeck equipped with a bar and multiple seating areas for ultimate relaxation.  A new benchmark in luxury exploration.  With its extended length, refined beach club, and seamless integration of indoor and outdoor spaces, the Numarine 47MXP is poised to redefine luxury adventure yachting. Powered by twin MAN 1450hp engines, the yacht reaches a top speed of sixteen knots and cruises comfortably at twelve, with a maximum range of 6,000 nautical miles possible at nine knots ensures exceptional long distance cruising capability.  Designed for discerning owners who seek extended cruising capabilities without compromising on elegance, the 47MXP continues Numarine’s legacy of innovative and bold explorer yachts.
