New Model: Azimut Magellano 27M

Azimut presents the Magellano 27M, a new model which also starts the third chapter for the Magellano series where Nordic design meets Italian architecture.  An evolutionary story sparked in 2009 by the foresight of Paolo and Giovanna Vitelli with the arrival of the innovative Magellano 74, this new Magellano 27M unfolds the third generation of the Magellano Series with exteriors by Jarkko Jämsén and interiors by AMDL CIRCLE and Michele De Lucchi, debuting in yachting with an unprecedented architectural loggia overlooking the sea.  The third Magellano designer, Nordic-Finnish Jarkko Jamsen, famous for his innovative Axopar's which changed the twenty-tens sporty cruiser inventing a new category which is today taken by storm, follows the acts of British Ken Freivokh who designed most of the models, and the Dutch Cor D. Rover. For the Magellano 27M Jamsen brought radical ideas and looks: a living site-specific artwork, conceived not to dominate nature but to exist through it, revealed in dialogue with the elements. By stripping away the unnecessary and revealing the bare shape, the Magellano 27M transforms into a mirror where sea, sky, and light endlessly compose surfaces into a dual nature. On one side, precise engineering: the straight line of the corner, the industrial feel of the fillets, the calibrated dimensions that speak of technical mastery and high precision. On the other, fluidity and reflection: the surfaces surrounding the loop are deliberately pure and cleaned of excess, allowing curvatures to capture light and multiply the play of sea and sky. For the interiors AMDL CIRCLE and Michele De Lucchi who at the heart of the design make the Main Deck conceived as a vast loggia over the sea: a space deeply glazed, immersed in light, and articulated by wooden architectural elements that evoke Mediterranean pergolas and patios. The result is an environment suspended between inside and out, a place where the landscape becomes part of daily life, and where design does not divide but filters, accompanies, and protects in continuity with nature. Light oak gently meets walnut details, where a refined three-dimensional motif honours the transition between the two woods, this bonded with ancient Japanese craftsmanship weaving a quiet fusion into the space. Tactile 3D wood surfaces lie alongside side tables hand-chiseled with the traditional Naguri technique. Above the headboard, the wall does not display artwork: it becomes the art itself, wrapped in precious HOSOO fabric, hand-woven on 300-year-old Kyoto looms. Its delicate pattern represents a microscopic enlargement of a cross-section of a tree trunk, quietly returning to the essence of wood. The Magellano 27M brings also the evolution of the Dual-Mode hull, now under the guidance of Pierluigi Ausonio, which powered by twin MAN 1650hp engines brings top speeds up to 24 knots, a cruise of fast cruise eighteen, and a thousand nautical miles range at ten knots.

New Model: GX Superyachts GX42 RPH

Just two years after unveiling the GX Superyachts vision at the 2024 Monaco Yacht Show, the company is celebrating another defining milestone with the successful launch of the first GX42 RPH, the 42-metre flagship, which has just world debuted at the Monaco Yacht Show 2026. The launch marks the transformation of GX Superyachts from an ambitious concept into a tangible reality. Conceived to redefine expectations in the superyacht sector, the GX42 combines striking contemporary design, long-range capability and a radically more responsible approach to luxury yachting. Developed by the experienced team behind Greenline Yachts, the GX42 builds on more than fifteen years of expertise in hybrid propulsion and energy management. She introduces those proven technologies into the superyacht world through an advanced parallel diesel-electric hybrid propulsion system, extensive integrated solar arrays and a large-capacity lithium battery bank, dramatically reducing emissions while delivering a quieter, more comfortable onboard experience. Built in collaboration with SES Yachts in Türkey, the GX42 also demonstrates the strength of the partnerships established since the brand's launch. The project has brought together specialists in naval architecture, engineering, construction and design to deliver a yacht that challenges conventional expectations of efficiency without compromising luxury, performance or comfort. Following her launch, final outfitting, and sea trials the GX 42 travelled to Monaco for her official public premiere. The GX42 represents the first model in the GX Superyachts planned range extending from 24 to 56 metres. By combining advanced hybrid technology, intelligent energy management, refined Italian design and genuine long-range cruising capability, GX Superyachts continues its mission to establish a new benchmark for sustainable luxury at sea

Project: Van der Valk 30-metre Project Nexo

Van der Valk Shipyard is proud to announce Project NEXO, a new 30-metre concept. For decades, the shipyard has delivered fully custom yachts, each one shaped in close dialogue with its owner. That philosophy remains at the core of everything we do. With Project NEXO, Van der Valk has chosen to set its own brief, in cooperation with Dutch design studio Phathom: a self-initiated concept that puts forward a clear vision of what a modern yacht at this length can be. More than a design study, Project NEXO reflects a distinct perspective on how space, comfort and life on board come together.

Project: Benetti Oasis 36M

At the Cannes Yachting Festival, Benetti introduced the Oasis 36M, a project which marks a further milestone in its collaboration with the British firm RWD for the exterior design and Bonetti/Kozerski Architecture for the interior spaces. With over fifty units cruising the oceans, the Oasis family of yachts has established itself as one of the most distinctive expressions of Benetti’s overarching vision, pioneering a refined approach to the relationship between yacht and sea. The Oasis 36M is a replacement to the 34M which has been produced from 2022 till this year in 23 units. The Oasis 36M is born from the wealth of insights accumulated across this fleet and direct dialogue with Owners and Captains. Consequently, real-world cruising experience is translated into sophisticated design solutions, enhanced comfort, superior efficiency, and advanced engineering. The design of Oasis 36M reinterprets onboard volumes around the authentic lifestyle patterns of its guests. The most cherished outdoor convivial areas; the Sun Deck, the Upper Deck terrace, and the iconic Oasis Deck® benefit from substantial spatial expansion, offering exceptional liveability, supreme comfort, and versatile layout configurations. Concurrently, the interior architecture has been reimagined to ensure a fluid, elegant continuity between spaces, eliminating redundant structural elements in favour of light-filled, airy environments. Reconfigured crew pathways guarantee complete separation between guests and crew, enabling the latter to operate with maximum efficiency through discreet, flawless service. On Oasis 36M, naval architecture and engineering adapt seamlessly to the expectations of the contemporary owner. The integration of a newly developed bow bulb from Benetti’s Research and Design department reduces hydrodynamic resistance by over 10% at a cruising speed of ten knots, maintaining propulsion fuel consumption at cruise speed. This remarkable hull efficiency allowed engineers to re-evaluate tank capacities based on real fleet data, which highlighted an increasing preference for extended stays at anchor. By strategically reducing fuel capacity without compromising the range required for practical cruising profiles, the saved volume has been reallocated to expand the black and grey water tanks. The result is extended autonomy at anchor, allowing guests to enjoy the most exclusive bays for consecutive days in complete self-sufficiency. The evolution of the Oasis 36M elevates acoustic comfort and seamless operational reliability into central pillars of the luxury onboard experience. For this the Oasis 36M will feature electric actuation for onboard systems, with traditional engine systems coupled to an optional hybrid system by Siemens.  Other innovations coming in the Oasis 36M will be fitted with Selective Catalytic Reduction even though the yacht is under five hundred Gross Tonnage, and D.gree data management for predictive maintainence.

Project: Arcadia A125

At Cannes 2026 Arcadia Yachts shared first glimpses of A125, marking the start of a journey that will gradually lead up to the yacht’s official debut, planned for the Cannes Yachting Festival 2028. A125 takes Arcadian Living into a more spacious dimension. The project brings together the principles that have set Arcadia Yachts apart on the international yachting stage right from the outset, working on a larger scale that showcases their value with even greater impact. Space, light, continuity with the water, privacy and freedom of movement are elements that come together to offer a new take on onboard living. The shipyard’s future flagship has been conceived to broaden the outlook of this vision, with living spaces designed to reach out and embrace the landscape, a focus on the quality of time spent on board, and careful consideration of each owner’s personal cruising style. The design is consistent with Arcadia Yachts’ identity and its concept of life at sea. A125 is the most ambitious showcase for Arcadia Yachts’ design journey yet. It’s an evolutionary step that looks to the future without affecting the brand’s spirit, consistency and identity. At 38 metres in length and 299 Gross Tonnage, A125 spans four decks and is the result of an in‑house effort by Arcadia Yachts, combining naval architecture with exterior and interior design in the framework of the same vision. This choice testifies to the level of mature design achieved by the brand and its ability to manage a complex project. The future flagship is designed to offer the liveability and perception of space usually associated with larger superyachts, featuring a balance between interior and outdoor areas, spaces for socialising, and settings offering more privacy. The standard layout accommodates ten guests in five cabins, with optional arrangements available for consideration depending on the owner’s needs. The crew quarters provide four cabins for a total of seven people. This is the start of a story that Arcadia Yachts will gradually tell as it unfolds, leading up to the official launch of A125.

New Model: Riva 96 Argo Super

Riva has launched the first unit of the 96’ Argo Super at the La Spezia shipyard, where models in the 21 to 39 meters range are built. The new Riva 96’ Argo Super is designed to offer an even more enjoyable experience in contact with the sea, maintaining the balance between performance, comfort and timeless elegance that sets Riva’s flybridge yachts apart. An evolution of the famous Riva 90’ Argo, one of the most loved models in the range, the96 Argp Super introduces a series of major design innovations that elevate the quality of life on board, offering a more efficient layout, an even more harmonious sense of connection between indoors and outdoors, and outstanding liveability. Like all Riva creations in the last thirty years, Riva 96’ Argo Super is the result of collaboration between Officina Italiana Design, the Strategic Product Committee and Ferretti Group’s Engineering Department. With a length overall of 28 metres, the new flybridge super yacht features clean, sleek contours, which are pointed up on the choice of livery, a refined pairing of Aluminium with Bright Black details– further highlighting the yacht’s contemporary character. The first major new development on board involves the aft and beach areas, which have been redesigned to enhance interaction with the water and improve the usability of the outdoor spaces. A generous sun-pad complete with handrail and cup holders is now incorporated in the garage door, which opens to provide access to the Williams tender and jet ski. The adjacent swim platform is fitted with a lift mechanism that makes it even easier and safer to enter the water and organise life on board, transforming the beach area into an even more welcoming and practical space. The cockpit too features additional storage compartments, a built-in refrigerator and new adjustable backrests for the two large sofas positioned lengthways beside the dining table, offering even more comfort and versatility; the flybridge, on the other hand, now showcases a new bar unit and mahogany-topped tables. One of the most significant new features is the introduction of a day head on the main deck, which improves usability and opens the way to a more efficient layout. The salon is available in two different configurations: on this first boat, the layout features the dining area aft and the lounge forward, a solution which underscores indoor-outdoor continuity and creates an even more convivial atmosphere on board. The full-beam master suite benefits from expansive glazed surfaces and furnishings arranged to amplify the natural light and offer views of the water and surrounding seascape, even from the bed. On the lower deck, moving the day head to the main deck frees up space which is now used for the guest sleeping area. In the standard configuration, the lower deck features three generous guest cabins, including a full-beam VIP cabin aft that exploits the newly gained space to offer a level of comfort and size comparable to a second master suite; in the optional configuration, the layout features three VIP cabins plus a guest cabin with twin beds. The interiors have also evolved to embrace a new language of style, in which polished wengé wood is set off by pale matt oak, establishing a refined balance of textures that adds to the overall sense of brightness. The careful combination of fine woods, mirrored surfaces and contemporary polished steel detailing creates a sophisticated and welcoming atmosphere that’s perfectly aligned with the yacht’s elegant and sporty character. The first Riva 96’ Argo Super is fitted with twin MTU 2000hp for speeds up to thirty knots. The first Riva 96’ Argo Super will make her official debut at the Cannes Yachting Festival 2026.

Project: ISA Yachts Timeless 52 M

ISA Yachts presents Timeless 52 M, a new model which launched the line developed in collaboration with Luca Dini, conceived to stand the test of time through authoritative styling and architectural rigor.  The 52 meter first model is to be the first in a range which include fiver models from 42 to 82-metres.  The Timeless series stands out for its strongly horizontal exterior language, balanced proportions and formal purity that reflect the most authentic identity of ISA Yachts: balance, elegance and contemporaneity. The first model developed the ISA Timeless 52 metres, is a project that takes the concept of customization to a new level. Every detail has been carefully studied to enhance the harmony of the lines and the coherence of the proportions, making full use of the yacht’s length thanks also to the verticality of both stern and bow. With a beam of nine metres, ISA Timeless 52 clearly expresses a design vision focused on fully experiencing outdoor spaces. Large walkaround areas wrap around the yacht, allowing for smooth and natural circulation and offering generous spaces to be enjoyed with guests, in a continuous dialogue between comfort, conviviality and connection with the sea. The yacht can accommodate up to twelve guests in six cabins, with multiple layout combinations enabling extreme customization. At the bow, on the port side, there is space for a tender of over six metres, while on the starboard side a large lounge area has been designed with an opening roof and modular panels, allowing different configurations depending on weather conditions and usage needs. This area represents the core of the project: a flexible platform designed to adapt to the various configurations of the entire bow section, ensuring unparalleled design freedom. The layout possibilities respond directly to the owner’s vision and lifestyle: Owner’s suite on the main deck with an exclusive terrace and direct connection to the sea; Formal or informal dining area with modular layout and terrace use for aperitifs and or after-dinner moments or outdoor cinema; Optional private gaming room on the lower deck with indoor cinema and adjacent outdoor area; Wellness area, featuring a panoramic sauna and jacuzzi on the terrace; Fully equipped gym with panoramic views for an exclusive indoor–outdoor experience. These are not simply layout variations, but an architectural approach that redefines the very function of the main deck. The entire bow area becomes a dynamic space capable of evolving over time and interpreting different needs. An alternative configuration features the upper deck dedicated exclusively to the owner, with an aft suite, direct access to the external cockpit and a private jacuzzi, further strengthening the concept of privacy and spatial separation. The lower deck also confirms a high degree of versatility, with the possibility of configuring five or six guest cabins, in addition to an optional SPA or gym area, and a garage dedicated to water toys. Inside, natural light becomes a structural element of the design. Large glazed surfaces, transparency and generous floor-to-ceiling heights create airy and fluid interiors, free from visually intrusive structural elements. Technical features have also been integrated discreetly: for example, the air-conditioning ducts are positioned outside the main saloon to preserve its formal purity and visual continuity. The yacht accommodates up to eleven crew in six cabins. This Timeless 52 M is powered by twin MAN 1877hp each, allowing a maximum speed up to fifteen 15 knots and a cruising speed of twelve knots.

New Model: Sanlorenzo SHE 25.5 meters

Sanlorenzo celebrates the launch of SHE, with the first unit of its new Sanlorenzo Heritage model entering the water ahead of the yacht's world première at the Cannes Yachting Festival this September. Reflecting a direction progressively defined by Sanlorenzo, SHE expresses a quieter vision of luxury yachting, where longevity, restraint and purpose matter more than excess. A symbol of Sanlorenzo's synthesis of innovation and tradition, SHE reinterprets 1960s iconic design through contemporary engineering and design, with exteriors by Zuccon International Project and interiors by Piero Lissoni. Designed for owners who value substance over spectacle, SHE returns to the principles of proportion, balance and simplicity. Continuous connections between interior and exterior spaces, carefully considered volumes and an emphasis on life on board create a yacht that feels both deeply familiar and unmistakably contemporary.

At 42 metres, the Admiral A-42 represents the meeting point of security and style, for those approaching the world of superyachts without the uncertainties of a blank canvas, but still inviting personal interpretation while preserving the assurance of poised proportions and a finely tuned hull. The A-42 is available with either an open or closed beach area, to adapts to the rhythm of it's Owner’s lifestyle. Her profile is drawn with precision: clean lines, compact form, and refined aesthetics reveal Admiral’s unmistakable signature. Her decks embrace the sea with comfort and generosity, offering spaces that surprise and delight at this scale. The A-42 interiors are composed to balance refinement with clarity of purpose with carefully selected materials, fluid transitions, and the opportunity to personalise furnishings and finishes guide the Owner toward an authentic Admiral experience.

New Model: Azimut Grande 44M

Azimut launched its new flagship and largest build to date, as it splashes the first unit of the Grande 44M. A contemporary superyacht the Grande 44M also combines Hull Vane® foil technology and carbon fibre, where lightness creates new possibilities, freeing up space to dedicate an entire Deck to the owner. Enjoyed in the silence of Mild Hybrid technology. The launch of the first Grande 44M confirms the success of the strategy that has led Azimut to achieve leadership in the superyacht segment over the years. Today, over two-thirds of the Azimut's production value is represented by models over 24 meters, a testament to a corporate vision rewarded by the market and the trust of owners. The expansion of the range culminates in the new Grande 44M, which debuts in the water with seven units already sold to owners. The new flagship marks the final leg of Azimut's journey to define the contemporary superyacht, combining the evolution of its design language created by international design excellence with continuous technological innovation. The use of carbon fiber, which accounts for more than 50% of the vessel, is the cornerstone of the project: reducing the overall weight of the superstructure allows for an unprecedented four-deck architecture that breaks with the traditional layout. The fourth deck, which houses the wheelhouse and is perfectly integrated into the sleek profile designed by Alberto Mancini, frees the Upper Deck of all technical spaces, transforming it into an entire deck dedicated to the owner with private terraces overlooking the horizon. Aft, the Grande 44M features the Mezzanine Deck with a Sea View Terrace, a defining element of the Grande Trideck, made even more iconic by the See-Through Pool: a plunge pool that plays with transparency to maintain visual contact with the sea and create caustic effects that make the beach club even more magical. The original layout allowed m²atelier architecture studio to translate the design into a manifesto of intentional living. Here, the interior balances functionality and aesthetics in environments designed to give new spaces to the owner, along with the freedom to inhabit it as they please. This is how the bow area of ​​the upper deck is transformed: a veranda dining area for twelve, a private media room, or a space for guests. In every configuration, enormous windows break down visual boundaries and open a 180° view of the outdoor bow lounge where, around the firepit, guests gather to watch the sunset over the water. m2atelier—internationally renowned for projects ranging from elite residences to product design envisions a clear and uncompromising style for Azimut, punctuated by subtle, refined details.
