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.

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.

New Model: Sanlorenzo SD132

In a private ceremony held in Monaco on the first week of April Sanlorenzo presented its new SD132. 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.

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.

Project: Maiora M36

Maiora, a brand of Next Yacht Group, presents the Maiora M|36, the first model of the new M line, marking a significant evolution for the shipyard while preserving the identity that has defined half a century of success. Maiora M|36 is the perfect fusion of innovation and tradition, a refined synthesis of functionality and timeless elegance, offering an exclusive and uncompromising onboard experience. With a length of 37 meters and a beam of over eight meters, the Maiora M|36 is spread across three decks, ensuring generous and sophisticated spaces. The layout includes five cabins, accommodating up to 12 guests, with the owner’s suite on the main deck and four guest suites on the lower deck, striking the perfect balance between privacy and conviviality. The Maiora M|36 is the result of a collaboration with Quartostile, a design studio renowned for its prestigious experience in the yachting sector including the award-winning Maiora 36 Exuma, as well as in the automotive industry, with high-profile partnerships such as Giugiaro and Maserati. While the exterior design bears the signature of Quartostile, the interior spaces have been crafted by Acube Design, an architectural studio with over twenty years of experience in the industry. Quartostile and the Maiora team worked together to develop a vision that goes beyond traditional boundaries, transforming the yacht into a natural extension of the sea. Architectural solutions ensure a seamless connection between interior and exterior, where the horizon becomes an integral part of the onboard experience. The profile of the Maiora M|36 has been meticulously designed to evoke a sense of dynamism, achieved through a refined interplay of acceleration and volume, creating a perception of movement even when the yacht is at anchor. Bold yet sophisticated lines converge in a captivating interplay of light and shadow, where the hull blends harmoniously with expansive glass surfaces and the warmth of teak, enhancing the yacht’s elegance and fluidity. The outdoor areas, the heart of life on board, offer guests a direct and immersive connection with the sea, thanks to meticulously designed spaces where the full-beam bow and openable stern redefine the concept of onboard living. The main deck unfolds as a seamless continuum between interior and exterior spaces. At the stern, fold-down bulwarks and a concealed, walkable pool cover elevate versatility on board. Additionally, a carefully planned height distribution brings the cockpit closer to the sea, enhancing the usability of the space in an entirely new way. This sense of continuity extends into the salon, where opening side windows dissolve physical barriers, creating a fully immersive experience in direct contact with the sea, eliminating any separation between indoors and outdoors. At the bow, the full-beam owner’s suite features expansive windows, dissolving physical boundaries and fostering an intimate connection with the sea. On the upper deck, the generous space and seamless continuity from stern to bow ensure exceptional flexibility, allowing for a fully customizable configuration tailored to the owner’s preferences. The expansive lounge, dining area, bar, and sunbathing spaces create a truly unique atmosphere, further enhanced by breath-taking panoramic views of the surrounding seascape. The Pilot House, positioned independently, has been designed to provide optimal control and outstanding visibility, thanks to its 180-degree panoramic view towards the bow. Completing this layout of ultimate comfort are the four guest suites on the lower deck, dedicated to ensuring an exclusive and relaxing stay. The interiors of the Maiora M|36, developed by Acube Design in collaboration with the shipyard’s Centro Stile, embody the beauty of simplicity through organic forms and natural materials, creating spaces designed for comfort, practicality, and well-being. Fluid shapes lie at the heart of this project: moving away from rigid geometries, the design draws inspiration from the natural flow of marine elements, with soft curves and continuous surfaces that enhance a sense of harmony and relaxation. The Maiora M36 is powered by twin Man 2200hp or MTU 2640hp with top speeds up to 24 knots with the small engines and thirty knots for the optional larger units.  The first Maiora M|36 unit will be built in Viareggio, at the shipyard’s prestigious production site, which features eight dedicated stations for yacht construction, and is set to hit the water in Summer 2026.

New Model: Columbus Atlantique 47M

Columbus Yachts announces the launch of the first unit of the Atlantique 47 metres. The vessel has been named m/y Acqua Chiara. Unmistakable exteriors with taut yet fluid lines, which widen at the centre of the boat and then taper at the stern and bow.

The Columbus Atlantique 47M is build in a steel hull and aluminium superstructure, and was specifically designed to reach a volume of 499 Gross Tonnage. Boasting an exterior and interior design by Hot Lab studio, Atlantique 47 represents a significant new stage in the development of the Columbus design.  The stern lines, as with the entire Atlantique range, are certainly the focal element of this superyacht, which makes sailing inspiration its real identity. At the stern, the outdoor spaces spread over three close levels: from bow to stern we find a first covered dining area, a living area with a scenic pool and opening balconies, and finally a platform with transformer, just above the water. A second large pool is located at the bow of the main deck and is served by a sunbathing area, a circular sofa and side tables.  The interiors are modern, at times almost urban with combinations of materials in visual and sensorial contrast: leather and white and dark marble, glass and mosaic, all by Sicis, in different shades and patterns.  The Master cabin is located forward on the main deck while, below deck, there are two king-size guest suites and two cabins with twin beds, all with private bathrooms in marble and mosaic.  The crew is made up of eight people accommodated in four comfortable cabins forward on the lower deck, whereas the Captain cabin is adjacent to the wheelhouse.  The garage on the starboard side houses a five-metre tender, while at the bow on the port side we find the second garage for the rescue tender and two jet skis.  Twin Cat engines of 1350 horsepower give a maximum speed of fifteen knots, cruising at fourteen and 3400 nautical miles at twelve knots long range capability.

Project: Benetti B.Yond 57M

Benetti presents the B.Yond 57M project. The highest interpretation of the voyager and the largest hybrid unit of the Benetti B.Yond family, the 57M features exterior lines designed by Igor Lobanov and interior styling by Bonetti Kozerski Architecture. B.Yond 57M features three different DNA, each for a distinct way to be, and three distinct stern configurations: Beach, Air, and Water, thought for specific yachting experiences. The owner of the first unit selected the Beach version, optimized for seamless access to the water with an expansive 161 square meters beach area and a fifteen square meters pool, a key feature of the yacht, full outdoor service amenities, multiple configurations of the pool area thanks to a sliding sofa system that allows to cover the pool converting this space into a lounging area. The beach area is directly connected with the convertible garage deck, another multi configuration space of one hundred square meters that, when toys are in the water, can easily be converted into an enjoyable guest’s additional shaded spot creating an outstanding external/internal area. An innovative layout elevates the guest areas on the Main Deck and consequently the main salon on the Upper Deck, allowing for memorable panoramic views through floor-to-ceiling windows and creating a 22-meter, uninterrupted open space from bow to stern. This unique concept, a result of meticulous design studies, exemplifies Benetti’s commitment to push the boundaries and set new standards in yacht design.

Project: Ferretti 800

Ferretti present the 800, a pocket super yacht which completes the circle of the range renewal which started in 2018 with the 670 model. Now Ferretti Yachts has all its models from its entry level 500 to the 1000 all designed by Filippo Salvetti. A replacement of the 780 the 800 project was presented during Boot Düsseldorf and is under construction at Ferretti Cattolica shipyard, a result of collaboration between Filippo Salvetti exterior design, Ideaeitalia for interior, and the Product Strategy Committee led by Piero Ferrari and the Ferretti Group Engineering Department. The 600 will have a length overall of just over 24 meters, a version with a shorter stern platform is also available to comply with the 24-metre limit established by French law and a maximum beam of just under six meters.  Ferretti Yachts 800 is designed to offer the owner peerless comfort and a superior on-board lifestyle for a yacht this size, thanks to optimised spaces and meticulous layout planning. The most innovative features include large windows for uninterrupted views of the surroundings from the interiors and an optional sliding door on the starboard side of the salon; perfectly separated spaces to ensure total privacy; and optimisation of the exterior surfaces and particularly the flybridge which is now forty squared meters in size, further enriching the on-board experience. Turning to the exterior design, Ferretti Yachts 800 combines a modern aesthetic with the brand’s signature identity, and follows the lines as introduced with the 860, and now to be followed in the upcoming 940. The new design has a bold personality that projects the Ferretti Yachts range into the future, combining a sporty design with sophisticated detailing. One of the characteristic features of this model is in fact the gradual slope of the flybridge’s lines down towards the stern, breaking with the tradition that they are parallel to the hull. The result is a perfect balance between timeless elegance, dynamism and impressive volume. Ideaeitalia focused its efforts on layout-related and architectural choices, aiming to enhance the elegance of the interiors at the same time as ensuring functionality and intelligent design. There was a special focus on the main deck, where an in-depth analysis of movement flows has resulted in an innovative configuration, in which the galley opens onto both the main hallway and the helm station area, with the introduction of a new concept for separating guest and crew flows. The standout elements, unusual for a boat this size, include a day head on the main deck and, in the master cabin, a freestanding dressing table, a vanity area and a particularly generous and comfortable bathroom. In a rapid overview starting on the main deck, the beach area is aft, and also offers a fold-down sofa in the transom. The cockpit has a spectacular glass parapet designed to extend the view outside and towards the beach club, with access to the crew area, which features three separate cabins with entrance from the port side walkway. Continuing through the interiors, the salon is bathed in light thanks to extensive glazing, one of the signature features of the boat, which offers uninterrupted views of the sea and the surrounding area even when sitting on the sofa. The generous interior volumes are further enhanced by the exquisite arrangement of the furniture to maximise liveability and by the two-metre ceiling height. The two interior decor moods available are Classic which taps into earthy elements, and Contemporary, featuring glowing woods and fabrics in fresh hues inspired by the colours of the sea. In perfect Made in Italy style, both are designed to offer owners an elegant, inviting and well-balanced ambiance. Moving past the living space, the dining area contains an elegant table seating eight. At the same time, the fully appointed and separate galley is directly connected to this space through a sliding section in the bulkhead. Separate walkways are another unusual feature of the yacht, allowing the crew to enter the galley from the outdoor area and then access the wheelhouse without interfering with guest flows. It’s also possible to access the helm station from the hallway, which can be closed off completely to ensure maximum privacy. The exterior living area forward features a sunbed and a forward-facing C-shaped sofa designed for comfort. On the lower deck, the sleeping area consists of a master stateroom, a VIP suite forward and two guest cabins, providing a total of eight berths. There are four en suite private bathrooms. The flybridge area is also larger than the category average thanks to the sleek, arched profile of the superstructure. On the starboard side there’s an al fresco dining area and table, with a generous storage compartment under the fibreglass sofa, while on the port side there’s a bar unit with optional stools. The freestanding furnishings such as the chairs and poufs are by Talenti. The helm station forward offers comfortable seating and excellent visibility. Ferretti Yachts 800 is powered by standard Man 1550hp for a speed up to 27 knots, and or optional 1800hp for 31 knots of wide open throttle.

New Model: Heesen 5700 Aluminium

Heesen Yachts has launched YN 20457 Project Akira, now named m/y Santosha.  The first in the Heesen new semi custom 5700 Aluminium series, YN 20457 boasts an interior volume of 780GT and features exterior lines penned by Frank Laupman of Omega Architects. Originally built on speculation, the vessel's design took a new direction when the owners came on board. Working closely with the yacht's interior designer, Harrison Eidsgaard, and Heesen's interior engineers, the clients tailored the yacht to reflect their taste and lifestyle, transforming Akira into Santosha. The owners chose the Sanskrit name Santosha for their vessel and the lotus as a logo. First revealed at the 2019 Monaco Yacht Show, Heesen's 57-metre series has a shapely silhouette with an elongated profile. A sweeping arch ties the length of the superstructure together, while the slightly raked angle of the bow gives the yacht a stretched optical length. The scooped-shaped stern ensures that the 57-metre will stand out among other superyachts berthed in a marina. Santosha's owners envisioned an interior with a relaxed but elegant ambience, and Heesen's craftspeople masterfully executed this concept. The clients were heavily involved in material selection, incorporating many sustainable options, such as recycled wood, 'performance leather' and 'art silk' carpets. YN 20547 design seamlessly merges luxury and functionality, featuring a free-flowing layout and neutral colour palette. The interior showcases a refined architectural hierarchy and consistency. Minimalist aesthetics, carefully considered embellishments, and unique door treatments create a sense of fluidity throughout. The design details are meticulously curated, with elements like woven leather accents around the TV in the sky lounge and gleaming curved wallpapers that reflect sunlight. The interiors are also adorned with carefully curated art pieces. The use of art adds a playful and brave touch to the serene and elevated decor. The works are balanced by the pale-coloured floors and 'art silk' carpets, contributing to the vessel's fresh and elegant aesthetic. Heesen first 5700 Aluminium features a nearly 70 sqm owners' apartment, which includes a study, a full beam stateroom, and expansive bathroom. Elegant light fixtures and bespoke artwork make it a truly personal space. The master bathroom is an ode to the Garden of Eden, with lush white-on-white designs inspired by bas-relief techniques, designed in collaboration with the client, and masterfully crafted by London-based artists of DKT studio. The snake, a totem animal for the Owners, takes center stage in the artwork. Beyond transformation, this creature epitomizes rebirth. In its cyclical shedding of its skin, the snake becomes a symbol of renewal and resurrection. The spiritual energy of the snake inspires us to view endings not as finality but as gateways to new beginnings. The snake also represents the journey of healing. The area also sports beautifully carved Calacatta Sponda marble and an expansive vanity desk. The guest quarters are designed with practicality in mind, drawing on the clients' extensive experience and deep understanding of life on board. They feature light, elegant aesthetics with breezy pops of colour, curated artwork, and contemporary photography, creating a serene yet playful atmosphere. Santosha is not just a work of art but also a high-performance vessel that delivers. The Heesen 57-metre features a full aluminium hull, an iteration of the ultra-efficient FDHD devised by Dutch hydrodynamicists van Oossanen Naval architects. The 57 meter hull has been perfectly engineered by Heesen's in-house team and crafted by the shipyard's highly skilled welders. Two MTU 3433hp engines propel the the Heesen 5700 Aluminium up to 22 knots and deliver a transatlantic range of 3,900 nautical miles at thirteen knots. A draft of just over two metres makes also the Heesen 5700 Aluminium  an ideal platform from which to explore the turquoise shallows of the Bahamas.  This first Heesen 5700 Aluminium will debut at the 2025 Palm Beach boat show, with a second unit starting construction and set to launch in 2027.
