New Model: Tecnomar For Lamborghini 63

Announced as a project in 2020 the Tecnomar For Lamborghini 63 is a fast sport yacht of twenty meters designed by the Sant' Agatha famed auto manufacturer for the exterior and Brunello Acampora for the hull, which touched the water in Summer of 2021 to much acclaim. It is not the first time though Lamborghini looked to boating as in 1983 in order to make a name in selling engines for racing powerboats in the Class One category it opened its marine division, which launched an eleven meter aluminium prototype designed by Aldo Cichero and build by Baglietto.  This prototype raced and competed in Class One, powered by twin 720hp Lambo engines and had top speeds up to eighty knots, and was then made into a production unit in 1984 build of Kevlar and Carbon Fibre by Axxes Quetzal and powered by twin 550hp or 720hp Lamborghini engines.  Including the aluminium prototype only two units are reported to have been made, with the fiberglass version being powered by smaller twin 550hp Lamborghini engines which gave her a 65 knots top speed. But the marine division remained open till 2008 selling engines mostly to Class One competing powerboats.  For those into history there was also the custom one off Riva Aquarama Lamborghini build for Ferrucio himself which launched in 1969, modified and extended in engine space to fit the twin 400hp Lamborghini engines.  The Tecnomar For Lamborghini 63 wants to be more of a production unit, with a limited run of 63 units, not little in these sizes even for a good selling commercial brand with price sensitivity in mind.  The Lamborghini 63 is offered in three lower deck versions; open lounge, single cabin, or two cabins, and is powered by twin Man 2000hp with fixed surface drives which make her reach a top speed up to sixty knots and a cruise of forty, while an economic thirty knots will make you consume only ten litres per nautical mile.

New Launch: Feadship 54.90m Hull. 708

A striking mast and the yacht’s very own submarine: these were just two of the specific requests by an owner who has enormous experience of discovering the world by sea. Like every genuinely custom superyacht, the design for m/y Shinkai, Feadship's hull number 708  revolved around these specific choices of the client. In this case the key was how best to incorporate a 7.2-tonne submarine on the aft deck along with the giant crane required for launching and collection. Taking this as the starting point, designer Philippe Briand and the teams at Vitruvius and Feadship have developed a 54 metre explorer yacht which will be able to travel the world while remaining both self-sufficient and fuel-efficient.

New Model: Benetti Oasis 40M

Beanetti presents the Oasis 40M, a revolutionary forty metre 385 Gross Ton super yacht build of fibreglass. Addressing a modern clientele with a dynamic and casual lifestyle, the Oasis 40M has the look of an adventurous yacht but at the same time it shows an unexpectedly glamorous side that reveals the idea of well-being and total independence from the rest of the world. RWD’s UK designers, who worked on the project with Benetti, created a beach area that’s never been seen before in the category, with a one-of-a-kind pool for yachts this size, appropriately called the Infinity Pool. Just a few steps from the sea, it is set in a big space clad entirely in teak, with side wings that open out to extend the floor space, turning the beach area into a huge lounge and terrace overlooking the water and designed to experience the life at sea in a completely new way. No longer an area that makes use of what space is available, as is the case on traditional yachts sold on the market, but an area designed precisely to experience the sea at any time and as intimately as possible, unimpeded by the tender and water toys hidden away in the side and forward garages, and so always perfectly ready for use. Another bonus in design, construction and engineering of Oasis 40M is the wheelhouse that represents one of the most important innovations. Designed as a multifunctional space, it’s not just a helm station but a new area where Captain, Owner and guest can enjoy the cruise and decide the course for a new point of view. Thanks to a futuristically designed steering position with a panoramic view, the space can accommodate six people all seated. This space also features full-height windows and huge spaces, making a comfortable area for guests. The exterior lines designed by the famous UK firm RWD are a perfect synthesis of Italian elegance and classic British lines, thanks to which guests can enjoy an unprecedented atmosphere of freedom and intense intimacy with the sea. The interiors offer relaxed and informal comfort, designed by the New York firm Bonetti/Kozerski Architecture, whose elegant and minimalist projects include Ian Schrager’s boutique hotel, Donna Karan showrooms and the Pace Gallery in New York. The main and upper deck have large windows enabling natural light to be used as a design element. This characteristic and the unconventional layout of the spacious interiors are intended to underscore a desire for symbiosis with nature. The three external decks are designed to guarantee a strong sense of continuity between exterior and interior spaces thanks to the prevalent use of pale materials and colours. Oasis 40M has four decks with five cabins for ten guests and four cabins for seven crew members included the comfy captain’s cabin located on the upper Deck close to the wheelhouse. Equipped with two Man 1400hp, Oasis 40M is a yacht for owners who are not in a rush and want to enjoy the cruise. Featuring an excellent hull efficiency supplemented by a vertical bow, the yacht’s top speed is eighteen knots, and at eleven knots it consumes just over one hundred litres per hour, with a range greater than the necessary to cross the Atlantic.

Project: Lyman-Morse Hood 35

The Hood 35 by Lyman-Morse hits the sweet spot of C.W. Hood Yacht’s powerboat acumen. Following the success and the raving reviews of the Hood 57 launched in the fall of 2020, Lyman-Morse presents the Hood 35 which follows the Down East lobster traditional cruiser genre in a smaller size and a perfect fit for day and weekend long cruises.  To be build in cold-moulding the Hoold 35 is beautifully shaped and engineered for a smooth ride.

New Model: Sunseeker Predator 65

Based on the 65 Sport Yacht platform which Sunseeker launched in mid 2021, the Poole based yacht builder presents the new Predator 65.

In a standard arrangement, the aft cockpit comprises of comfortable seating backed onto a large sun pad over the garage and a social bar unit with matching stools on the port side. Owners can opt for a fully integrated wet bar or extended J-shaped lounge seating running aft from the galley across the width of the cockpit if desired. This Predator 65 benefits from an optional crew cabin, accessed via a dedicated stairwell in the aft cockpit. Below deck, the three-cabin layout provides accommodation for up to six guests.

Each guest cabin has an en-suite, and there is a separate day-head below.

An extra-wide tender garage allows a jet tender to be carried and launched via a new diagonal sliding hydraulic bathing platform. The additional garage space can store SeaBobs, inflatable paddleboards, diving equipment or racking. If specified as a Beach Club, the fully-flush floor lends itself to free-standing furniture with a rain shower, lighting and speakers built in to the opened door.  The Sunseeker Predator 65 is powered by twin Volvo 900hp or 1000hp with IPS forward looking pod drives which allows top speeds up 35 knots with the large engine choice.
