Project: Filippetti Navetta 28

Filipetti present the project for a Navetta 28, a displacement super yacht whose interiors and exteriors merge in a perfect balance of style and maximum use of space. Designed by Fulvio De Simoni, Navetta 28, the exterior style sharpens the contrast between soft, curvy lines and huge glazed surfaces that endow this with unique strength and character. The Navetta 28 stands out for her incredibly airy interiors and exteriors. The Filippetti Navetti 28 features a fully-custom layout allowing the owner maximum freedom of choice. Outdoor areas can be enjoyed at best both when cruising and at anchor. A large flybridge devised as an open-air living space, and a huge bow area on the main deck offers guests great spaciousness and unmatched liveability, maximizing onboard volumes being always a key objective. Wide glazed surfaces characterize this yacht, ensuring incomparably close contact with the surrounding landscape and offering guests amazing views. Always looking to allow for maximum customization of both interiors and exteriors, the owner will be able to choose between five or six cabins and decide whether to have the master stateroom on the upper deck or on the main deck, both offering a privileged position to enjoy fantastic panoramic views while cruising The Filippetti Navetta 28 is powered by twino 800hp engines which will push the yacht to a maximum speed of fourteen knots and a cruise of thirteen. Increased onboard comfort is ensured by the stabilizing fins. Navetta 28’s most impressive feature, as is the case on all other models in the N range is her outstanding range of 3,000 nautical miles.

New Model: Princess X80

In the end of 2021 Princess launched hull number one of its new X80, second X-range model which follows the 2019 launched X95, which some say its one of the ugliest yachts ever made and others saying it is an innovative design with purpose.  The new Princess X80 with Dusseldorf boat show cancelled was presented in a private boat show in Plymouth on end January 2022.  The X range like new latest Princesses is designed by Pininfarina with Olesinski taking care of engineering duties, and its purpose is to move away from traditional yacht design and maximize space.  Upwards of the main deck the recipe is different with Princess saying the X80 gives 30% more flybridge space, while lower deck and hull shape are standard, with a planning hull giving speeds up to 31 knots with twin 1900hp Man engines.  The Princess X80 comes with a couple of interesting choices; the first is to have an owners stateroom on the forward part of the main deck in replacement to a forward dinning area, the second is to have a fully enclosed or three part hard top option on the flybridge deck.

Stolen Azimut Yacht Havoc in Newport

A stolen eighteen meter Azimut motor yacht created havoc and extensive damage to about half a dozen of boats in Newport Beach Harbour to the South of Los Angeles, on ten o'clock local time the morning of Thursday tenth March. This was a lucky accident with a lady who was relaxing on a fourteen meter sailing yacht coming out only slightly injured.  Considering that the eighteen meter motor yacht literally went atop the sail yacht, destroying its mast in the process this was lucky indeed.  There was also a centre console who took a full hit and damage, while a recently purchased classic wood Tollycraft also sustained damage before the Azimut crashed into a seawall and finally stopped.  Police arrested the thief who now is accused of boat theft and stolen possession, and forty minutes before was reported doing vandalism on the Pacific Coast highway.  News reports have said this Azimut motor yacht was purchased new in August 2021, and was having some work on the marina, when the thief literally went aboard and started his senseless joyride.

The Azimut in this crazy run is a 60 Flybridge as designed by Stefano Righini and produced since 2017.  The damaged Tollycraft, last boat to be hit in this mad ride is a Custom 37 build in 1960 of wood.

Project: Absolute Navetta 75

Absolute present the project for a new Navetta 75 project, what represents the largest build to date by the Italian boat builder and a replacement to the current Navetta 73 flagship.  Absolute is calling this new project the Absolute Sphere a design set to expand the Navetta range. Absolute chose the sphere, a symbol of perfection and harmony, to describe an explorer yacht that embodies all the essential values and distinctive features that a new project should have.  The Navetta 75 incorporates the shipyard’s most unique features and style, the strengths that set it apart from competitors: in line with the new Fly range concept, the Navetta 75 project brings on board a terrace cockpit and the owner’s cabin at the bow. The new flagship includes also large windows, high ceilings and spaces designed on a single level, both on the main deck and on the lower deck. Navetta 75 comes with two other Absolute style highlights: easy movement on board and ultimate privacy for the owners, their guests and crew. Indeed, from the main deck you can easily access the flybridge both from the aft and from the bow, thanks to two separate stairs. A dedicated crew area can be easily accessed from the cockpit, without interrupting the owners and their guests.  With Navetta 75, Absolute proves once again that research can be used to elevate design and meet needs onboard, from sliding doors to generous storage compartments. Absolute provides impressive solutions once again by offering beautifully designed external and internal areas for good times with friends and family and for absolute versatility in the flybridge and cockpit areas, with modular furnishings with no fixed structural elements.  No power details are announced but imagine a pair of Absolute 1000hp with IPS pod propulsion as the Navetta 73 the 75 replaces.

New Model: Cranchi Sessantasette 67

Cranchi has launched its second in size model with the Sessantasette 67 flybridge motor yacht. Designed as the new 2021 launched 78 flagship by Christian Grande the Sessantasette is a flybridge motor yacht that according to Cranchi gives more than its length suggests. Offering Made in Italy design and style, technical solutions and a modern line, the 67 follows the family feeling Cranchi launched with the Settantotto flagship model. The lines are emblematic and complement each other, they refer to the different elements of the profile. For example, between the curve of the stern hatch and the projecting part of the fly or between the cut of the windows and the break in the center of the wall. With the knowledge of the Cranchi Settantotto, the new Sessantasette also derives its extraordinary technological equipment with the adoption of hi-tech materials as well as a construction technique that has no equal in the world. The yacht will thus offer the highest safety standards and the best solutions for stabilisation, containment of consumption and emissions, noise reduction and home automation and entertainment systems.  The Cranchi Sessantasette offers two lower deck layout choices for a three or four cabins versions.  While a crew cabin with two berths is located aft to port side.  The main deck will offer a galley forward layout, with a central helm station and direct side door access. The Cranchi Sessantasette 67 is powered by twin Volvo 1000hp engines with IPS pod drive propulsion.

New Model: Cantiere delle Marche Deep Blue 141

Cantiere Delle Marche is delighted to announce that the full custom 43-metre explorer yacht, named m/y Acala has been successfully launched. A pure cus­tom yacht this 43m shows CDM ex­pe­ri­ence and its ap­proach to ex­plorer yacht build­ing. 43m Custom has been com­mis­sioned by an ex­pe­ri­enced yachts­man who, over the years, owned yachts built by ship­yards such as Fead­ship, Lürssen, Blohm and Voss. He is a re­peat client for CDM, a yard which gained his full con­fi­dence hav­ing en­joyed the feel of comfort and safety of his pre­vi­ous Cantiere delle Marche Dar­win 102, cruis­ing in the Med but also sail­ing the ex­panses of the Pa­cific Ocean, the At­lantic and reach­ing the wild beauty of re­mote des­ti­na­tions and the best div­ing spots in the world. Cantiere delle Marche 43m Custom also in­au­gu­rates a new col­lab­o­ra­tion with Ho­ra­cio Bozzo De­sign who de­signed her con­spic­u­ous and eye- catch­ing lines. Her se­vere pro­file with a raked bow and com­pact su­per­struc­ture cap­tures the very soul of an ex­plorer ves­sel combin­ing it with the el­e­gance of a lux­ury yacht that will stand the test of time. Large win­dows on the main deck whose mul­lions seem not to join the su­per­struc­ture are un­doubt­edly a pro­file’s sig­na­ture features. All shapes, vol­umes and lines com­pose a har­mo­nious geom­e­try while her roomy body en­com­passes lux­ury so­cial ar­eas and very large and com­fort­able crew quar­ters, as re­quested by the owner whose plans in­clude long term cruis­ing to reach the far­thest cor­ners of the world. Guest ar­eas are spread over three decks plus a sun deck. Cantiere delle Marche 43m fea­tures a nicely or­ga­nized in­te­rior lay­out that sleeps twelve guests in six suites. A large lobby sits in be­tween the main sa­lon and guest night quar­ters. The full beam main deck, from amidships for­ward is ded­i­cated to guests and own­ers. Three large Vip and ex­tremely com­fort­able owner suite to star­board side are flooded by nat­ural light from large win­dows. Two twin cab­ins are lo­cated on the lower deck. An in­ti­mate sa­lon on the main deck and a large panoramic sky lounge on the up­per deck with din­ing area have been de­signed and dec­o­rated for in­door re­lax­ation and en­ter­tain­ment. A par­tic­u­larly large cock­pit fea­tures din­ing and loung­ing ar­eas, a swim­ming pool and lots of space to re­lax. A large and par­tially shaded sun deck per­fectly in­te­grated into the pro­file pro­vides the so­cial hub for the guests with an al fresco din­ing, bar, vast sun­bathing area along­side a sec­ond swim­ming pool. A dumb­waiter con­nects the gal­ley lo­cated on the lower deck to all deck, sun deck in­cluded, to con­vey food and drinks and ease the work of crew. Cantiere delle Marche 43m Custom in­te­rior de­sign by Mex­i­can ar­chi­tect Si­mon Hamui is lux­u­ri­ous and re­laxed at the same time. It means that it of­fers the pos­si­bil­ity to feel at ease with both beach cloth­ing or for­mally dressed for a din­ner. 43m Custom has a full dis­place­ment naval ar­chi­tec­ture by Ser­gio Cu­tolo Hy­dro Tec of­fer­ing large vol­umes in a 440GT and the smoothest of travel even in rough seas en­sur­ing ex­cel­lent com­fort and to­tal safety. En­gi­neer­ing has been de­vel­oped by the yard tech­ni­cal de­part­ment in col­lab­o­ra­tion with Hy­dro Tec. Need­less to add that she, like all ex­plorer yachts built by Cantiere delle Marche, fea­tures a thick and ro­bust steel hull and light alu­minium su­per­struc­ture. With a to­tal length of 43 me­tres and thanks to a hull geom­e­try her twin Cater­pil­lar 1014hp en­gines will give a range of above five thousand nautical at ten knots and a top speed of forteen knots. The yacht’s en­gine room,, as all en­gine rooms built by CDM, is a show­piece that stands out for its clean­li­ness and func­tion­al­ity with all the yacht’s sys­tems and ma­chiner­ies set up to ac­com­mo­date easy main­te­nance. CDM is a pure breed ex­plorer there­fore she needs a high level of in­de­pen­dence. The en­gine room is one of the sources of that in­de­pen­dence as its re­dun­dant equip­ment al­low to sail far and wide and to reach re­mote ar­eas of the globe where it is im­pos­si­ble to ac­cess any sort of as­sis­tance. An ex­pan­sive lazarette pro­vides a very large stor­age area needed for many cruis­ing ne­ces­si­ties, wa­ter toys, div­ing equip­ment, etc. The main ten­der is stored on the up­per deck for­ward. Crew quar­ters and ser­vice ar­eas are func­tional and well-ap­pointed, as re­quested by the owner. Five cab­ins are on the lower deck along­side a roomy crew mess op­po­site a pro­fes­sional gal­ley and the cap­tain has his own cabin on the Up­per deck next to the wheel­house.

Project: Pershing GTX116

During the Miami 2022 boat show Pershing announced the project for the new GTX116 with the first unit currently being under construction.  First announced as the TO project in 2020, Pershing has been very mysterious on this new range saying that it will have models from 24 to forty meters in size, and that it will redefine the super sport yacht segment.  The first TO announced was a 25 meter and then in early 2021 Pershing showed the mould for a 35 meter being prepared. Pershing never showed any complete renders or plans of the TO, with some hype design details as the bow, engine air intakes, and window profiles being displayed and if today you make the puzzle it comes out to be the finally showed GTX116. When the TO was announced I actually thought that with this range Ferretti Group's Pershing might take a challenge to the Sanlorenzo SX series which has proved to be successful for the Italian builder. I was half correct as the Pershing GTX will feature its attention in a redefinition of exterior spaces and a beach deck located in a floating position between the lower and main decks.  The Pershing GTX116 will also have a sport bridge design, with its lower deck accommodation offering five double guest cabins, with an owners stateroom at midships.  Three crew cabin sleeping five or six crew are located forward.  The Pershing GTX116 will be powered by twin Man 1800hp or 2000hp engines with jet propulsion and speeds going up to 35 knots with the large option.  While Pershing is known and famous for surface drives, its good to remember that 1991 launched 70 flagship featured jet propulsion in the first units, and the 115 the flagship from 2004 till 2012 also had a triple jet propulsion.
