Project: Whitehaven 6500 Sports Flybridge

Whitehaven present a new model and line with this  6500 Sports Flybridge project.  Based on the hull lines of its 6500 series offered in four other versions; Sport Yacht, Flybridge, Coupe, and Sunbridge, this new 6500 Sports Flybridge brings a sportfishing aft deck layout to a modern Euro inspired yacht line forward.  With the 6500 Sports Flybridge Whitehaven wants to compete with the other down under Maritimo Offshore series and Riviera Sports Motoryacht line who have had success with similar products.  The Whitehaven 6500 Sports Flybridge will offer a three double cabins interior, with a choice for a crew cabin at midships to port side.  A technical interesting details according to the plans, is that with the crew cabin the engines of the 6500 Sports Flybridge will move further aft, although I do think this might be an error, as production wise this does not make much sense.  The Whitehaven 6500 Sports Flybridge is to be powered by twin Man 1300hp with line shaft propulsion.

Project: Whitehaven 6500 Coupe

Whitehaven present the project for the new 6500 Coupe, a model which is the 6100 series extended in hull length for 1.3 meters. This extra length capability was incorporated into the original hull design and the moulds were constructed to produce hull lengths from 18 meters to just over 19.5 meters. This extra length enables the 6500 models to include a full beam master bathroom behind the master bed which is an option often requested but which could not be incorporated into the 6100 models and still be in keeping with the application of traditional straight shaft propulsion systems. The 6500 Coupe otherwise share the same lower accommodation as the 6100 models with the addition of a full beam master bathroom further complimenting the owner’s stateroom. This provides the option to convert the third guest bathroom into a utility room with extra storage and refrigeration which is always very helpful. There are several options around main deck, saloon and cockpit designs however the main saloon area remains the same length as the 6100 with the extra 1.3 meters creating a longer and more spacious cockpit that can include several custom options for seating, bar areas, alfresco dining and BBQ locations. Surprisingly, the increase to the water line length creates for a more efficient operating vessel and even though there’s significantly more underwater surface area, it’s expected the additional efficiency of the longer 6500 hull to have zero impact on fuel consumption over the 6100 at long distance cruise speeds of up to twelve knots. In fact, there will be very little impact in litres per hour fuel burn at speeds up to eighteen knots. From a manufacturing perspective, sharing the same hull platform across two Whitehaven 6100 and 6500 models that delivers increased amenity over a longer and more efficient operating hull with a lower cost per foot to produce compared to its smaller sibling made good sense. The first Whitehaven 6500 Coupe will be completed in late 2023 and will be on display at the Sanctuary Cove International Boat Show in 2024.

Project: Whitehaven 6100 Euro Edition

The Whitehaven Euro Edition 6100 is the first in a new era of models born from the collaboration between Whitehaven and talented naval architect and yacht designer, Misha Merzliakov. Representing the birth of brand new offspring of the Whitehaven family of motor yachts, the Euro 6100 comprises all the hallmarks of luxury, expansive entertainment and lifestyle spaces and engineering, with a new repertoire of features seldom seen on motor yachts in this size, reflective of the global outlook and boating experience of the down under boat builder.  The exterior of the 6100 Euro Edition introduces a range of automotive cues to imbue the vessel with a sleek profile reflective of its performance.  Fitted with two new-generation Caterpillar 1000hp engines the 61 Euro Edition is expected to cruise comfortably at approximately 25 knots, and have a top speed of some 30 knots. As beautiful and practical, a full-length roof line over the aft cockpit provides protection for all climates and conditions, as well as adding a streamlined aesthetic.  The generously proportioned entertainers’ cockpit flows through to an aft galley with the exceptionally spacious dining area that boasts a six seat free-standing dining table and plenty of room for guests to socialize in style.  Inside, all the mod-cons are controlled by the innovative C-Zone boat management system, a flick-of-the-switch control panel which can be operated remotely through your hand-held device.  Interiors feature materials incorporating European accents and attributes which have traditionally been reserved for super yachts.  With clever use of geometry and configuration, the 6100 Euro Edition was inspired by motor yachts double its size with additional space for storage, seating and room to spread out.  The Euro Edition 6100 offers a three bedroom two bathroom layout with an additional auxiliary room. Whitehaven also offer the Euro model as a 6300 variant with a spacious second rear full-beam stateroom or Beach Club alternative which opens fully to the transom swim platform.

Whitehaven is a rather new marque coming from down under Australia, with an interesting line starting from sixty and going to a 95 feet project. The 6000 line has been well received, and Whitehaven and its designer Jason Kao has been also very clever to use the same platform to suit three different styles of boating needs.  The new 6000 Coupe of the three versions is that ideal for those looking for single level living, stylish appearance and superb performance. Whitehaven’s with this model also delivers an internal elegance with performance you would expect from a European marque.  There is a lot to like about Whitehaven but its astern galley by the patio door, and the large full beam staterooms are some of the favorite features.  But saying all the standing out detail for a planning sport yacht is the large 5500 liters fuel capacity, which with the standard 825hp MTU engines and best cruise can deliver an extended range of up to one thousand nautical miles.
