Project: Princess 30M

Princess Yachts have unveiled details of their latest M Class yacht, the 30M. This one hundred feet raised pilot house yacht will mark the entry point to the M Class fleet and the high level of design and luxury that comes with it.  An incredibly spacious super yacht, featuring the bold, contemporary lines that are now synonymous with Princess M Class design, the 30M will offer up to five double en suite cabins including a main deck master suite.  Princess composite build technology and progressive design lie behind the 30M, delivering class leading interior volume, optimum cruising efficiency and the respective weight-saving advantages to enable anticipated speeds approaching 30 knots.  Both on deck and interior design are truly exceptional. The aft cockpit features a relaxed and spacious seating area complimented with a wet-bar and shaded beneath the flybridge overhang. Twin transom gates lead to the hydraulic bathing platform and stern garage which can accommodate a four meter tender. The flybridge on the 30M is one of its many standout features with a flexible, modular seating system set beneath a hardtop with integrated sunroof and serviced by a full wet-bar. To the aft of the flybridge a spa bath can be accommodated in addition to free standing deck furniture.  On the main deck, the saloon can be configured to suit a clients cruising style with various seating and dining options available as well the choice to incorporate wide sliding doors which open to a balcony on the starboard side. The Master Suite is located forward and is complimented with a choice of three or four beautifully appointed en suite guest cabins on the lower deck.  The 30M is designed to allow the crew to operate discretely, with independent access away from guest areas a design philosophy shared with both the 35M and tri-deck 40M.  As with all M Class vessels the interior finish is dictated by owner's specific tastes and requirements. The Princess Design Studio is responsible for all M Class interiors and offers a very personal level of service and attention, with a dedicated consultant working with each owner to realize their perfect yacht. Engineering levels are also of the highest standard, including two 40kw generators, a comprehensive control and monitoring system and a full hydraulic system to power thrusters, stabilisers and the 30M's twin anchor winches.  Currently under development at Princess' South Yard Superyacht facility in Devonport, Plymouth, this exciting addition will join the M Class range in 2015.

Abati New Web Site

Italian builder, Abati Yachts presents its new World wide web virtual showroom. Founded in 2004 by Alessandro Patrizi, Abati started as a story of the past. Looking for his own boat, Patrizi chooses a lobster looking Traditional Cruiser from Austin Parker, and its top of the range 42 model. Hearing in a later stage that the Tuscany Austin Parker was in financial trouble decides to take over the building premises, but to leave the brand name to the owners mostly because of his idea in constructing bigger boats. In 2013 the Abati firm was purchased by a major business group. Abati will go on and build traditional inspired down East lobster cruisers and yachts with the 55 Portland being its first to launch model. The 55 looking very classic outside had important innovations mostly to what concerns its layout, which had an all separate entrance three cabins, which is still a unique feature in its size today. The second Abati was the 46 Newport took a more modern approach. Today Abati builds four models; 46 Newport, 55 Portland, 58 Eastport, and its flagship the 60 Keyport. The new Abati Yacht virtual showroom is available in English and Italian language and takes you around with the following buttons; Shipyard, Press Room, News and Events, Dealers Networks, Catalogues, and Contacts.
