Project: Galeon 430 Explorer

Galeon presents the project for the 430 Explorer, an explorer cruiser which presents a new range and sets an un-edited course for the Polish motor cruiser and yacht builder.  Galeon is being secretive on this new course, and no designer is mentioned, with this 430 Exp set to be unveiled at the 2025 Cannes Yachting Festival in a couple of weeks. What is known is that the Galeon 430 Explorer will feature tug boat looks with a stand out feature being is that it is an asymmetric design; full body to port side and side deck to starboard. The lower cabin helm station is located further forward to the length, while the stern also features an open layout which expands size with the drop down bulk-head to balcony at starboard, showing that sunny climate boaters are the main target for the 430 Explorer.  The Galeon 430 Explorer will offer a two cabins lower deck, with a single head, and an utility room.  Power will come from twin 480hp.

Project: Sanlorenzo SL110 Asymmetric

Sanlorenzo presents the SL110 Asymmetric, the latest evolution of the shipyard's famous asymmetrical motor yacht line. The SL110A introduces a new architectural vision to the world of yachting, combining structural elegance and innovation combined with spacious interiors, flooded with natural light that blend seamlessly with the exteriors, offering a unique sailing experience that establishes an even deeper connection with the sea. The result of a collaboration between Sanlorenzo, Zuccon International Project for the exterior design, and Piero Lissoni with Lissoni and Partners for the interiors, the SL110A is the perfect synthesis of authentic design, functionality, comfort, and performance, with a speed of up to 27 knots from the large of two MTU engine choices.  As the latest evolution of the brand’s acclaimed asymmetrical line, it reimagines what a 33-metre super yacht can be, offering expanded light-filled interiors, seamless indoor-outdoor flow, and a deeper connection to the sea. Debuting at the 2025 Cannes Yachting Festival the coming September, the SL110A is a super yacht for owners who demand beauty without compromise, and versatility with vision. SL110A marks the culmination of a design journey that began with the SL102A in 2018 and evolved through the SL106A which this model replaces. Its elegant, timeless lines and carefully reduced stylistic elements create a refined profile that transcends trends. Subtle asymmetry enhances visual harmony while also unlocking more liveable interior volume. A technical innovation staggered gangways on the starboard and port sides allows the gangway area to be absorbed into the interior layout, further increasing spaciousness and comfort. The reimagined bow, developed with Lissoni and Partners, eliminates the typical aerodynamic “bonnet” in favour of a true sea-facing terrace, complete with integrated sofas and a swimming pool. The result is a minimalist yet elegant retreat, optimised for liveability and connection with the water.  A hidden hatch cleverly conceals the mooring area, ensuring cleaner lines and improved usability. The stern continues the design narrative, with references to the SL86A as launched in 2024. A transparent gunwale creates a seamless connection between cockpit and sea, while the pivoting beach platform reveals a garage for both tender and jet ski. Retractable stairs and gangways preserve the yacht’s clean silhouette. The versatile outdoor lounge on the main deck can shift from sunbathing to dining without fixed configurations, underscoring the yacht’s flexibility. The interior architecture of the SL110A is conceived as a continuation of the exterior experience. Large windows, retractable bulwarks, and sliding gunwales allow light and air to pour in, dissolving boundaries and enhancing the sensation of space. Guests can enjoy a lounge that opens onto the sea via a drop-down terrace, creating an expansive, immersive environment. It is this fusion with the exterior environment that enhances the experience of the owner and his guests, allowing ample breathing space in an interplay between the interior and the sea. To make this feature explicit there is a solution designed when the boat is at anchor: on the starboard side it is in fact possible to pull down the bulwark and thus open up a terrace overlooking the sea. The same effect is recreated by the gunwale that slides downwards, widening the window below to allow guests to fully enjoy the outside environment, being closer to the sea. At the heart of the SL110A lies the wide-body, full-beam owner’s suite conceived as a true sanctuary. It provides panoramic sea views, total privacy, and direct access to the foredeck pool. A private entry connects the master cabin with the bow and upper decks, allowing the owner to enjoy separation while staying connected with every corner of the yacht. This intelligent use of space elevates comfort and intimacy at sea. Below deck are four guest cabins; two VIP, two convertible twin/double and generous crew quarters with three cabins, six berths, and a separate mess to ensure operational privacy. The mezzanine housing the wheelhouse provides direct access to a flybridge offering the flexibility to create a sunbathing lounge, al fresco dining area, or private retreat with direct access to the pool. Dark wood panelling, coffered ceilings with resin finishes, herringbone patterns, and stone-effect materials define the yacht’s refined interior atmosphere. The owner’s bathroom is finished in luxurious Calacatta marble. The SL110A is more than a yacht it is a design statement, from the sculpted asymmetry that expands space and light, to the seamless interplay between interior and exterior, it redefines the relationship between form and function.

New Model: Ferretti 800

The first unit of the brand new Ferretti Yachts 800 was launched last July 18 at the Cattolica shipyard. The second generation Ferretti 800 completes the range renewal process begun in 2018 with the 670 as Filippo Salvetti now signs all the models of the range. The 800 also replaces the 780, the last of the seventeen years Zuccon design Ferretti yacht.  With an overall length of over 24 meters, with a version featuring a short swim platform available to comply with the 24-metre limit established by French law, the Ferretti 800 is the result of the Filippo Salvetti stylistic evolution for the exteriors and the Ideaeitalia team for the interiors, Ferretti Yachts 800 is designed to offer the owner peerless comfort and a superior on-board lifestyle, thanks to optimised spaces and meticulous layout planning. The most innovative features include large windows for uninterrupted views of the surroundings from the interiors, perfectly separated spaces to ensure total privacy, and optimisation of the exterior surfaces. Starting on the main deck, the seven-square-metre beach area is aft, with a cockpit featuring a spectacular glass parapet designed to extend the view outside and towards the beach club. The crew area, with three separate cabins is accessed from the port side walkway. Continuing through the interiors, the salon is bathed in light thanks to extensive glazing which offers uninterrupted views of the surroundings. The interior décor of the unit launched is in the Classic mood, which taps into warm, earthy elements with a layout featuring a corner sofa facing a storage unit and slide-out TV. The generous interiors are enhanced by the two-metre-high ceilings. Moving past the living space, the dining area contains an elegant table and the fully appointed and separate galley is directly connected to it through a sliding section of the bulkhead. Separate walkways allow the crew to enter the galley from the outdoor area and then access the wheelhouse without interfering with guest flows. The helm station can also be accessed from the hallway. 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 suite, a VIP cabin forward and two guest cabins, providing a total of eight berths. All four cabins have private en suite bathrooms. The flybridge also stands out for its above average surface area of 40 m2. The al fresco dining area on the starboard side features a table and a fibreglass sofa with a large storage compartment incorporated underneath it. A bar unit on the port side can be paired with optional stools. A spacious area aft is furnished with freestanding elements including poufs and sofas. The helm station at the bow is fitted with ergonomic seats and offers excellent visibility. The first Ferretti Yachts 800 unit is equipped with the large optional 1800hp MAN engines option for top speeds up to 31 knots and a cruise of 27.  Alternatively smaller standard MAN 1550hp are also available the 800, these reducing four knots in performance.  Ferretti has reported that it has sold seven 800 before even the first unit touched the water.

Project: Evo Yachts R4 Icone

Evo Yachts celebrates the tenth anniversary of the launch of the first R4 with a model that pays tribute to the shipyard’s history, and at the same time taking a new step forward towards an on-board experience increasingly focused on comfort, without however betraying the brand’s sporty spirit and the desire to offer maximum flexibility and customisation options. This model is the new R4 Icone, which will be given its world premiere at the Cannes Yachting Festival, featuring a hull about a metre longer than the original version, an aggressive bow, a new integrated design for the air intakes, and large windows in the hull sides that flood the interiors with natural light.  Designed by Evo Yachts with Valerio Rivellini to offer an incredibly comfortable and convenient lifestyle on board at any time of the year, while maintaining the boat’s dynamic performance, Evo Yachts’ new model has a main deck with an enclosed area covered by an aluminium hard top, built entirely by the Shipyard and a console clearly based on automotive design, featuring a large C-shaped sofa with a backrest that can be arranged to offer either a forward or rear-facing view, and a pilot seat that can be adjusted to various heights for perfect ergonomics. The living area contains a table that can be converted into a double bed and is completed by a kitchen unit, while a pantograph door provides easy access to the outside area. The XT platform at the stern, developed by the Shipyard jointly with Besenzoni, extends the surface area aft and brings it closer to the water, increasing the space and comfort on board and transforming the setting into a seafront terrace that can be configured and furnished as desired, to enjoy in different ways at different times of day.  Below deck, in addition to the fridge and storage area and a hallway, there are two large enclosed double cabins. The interiors are decorated and furnished to transmit a feeling of great warmth, achieved through the use of Alcantara, Alpi wood and various types of materials that share an appealing texture. The yacht is powered by two Volvo 480hp with IPS pod drives.  Like all Evo Yachts models, this boat too, which draws on ten years of experience and is the result of a process of continuous range improvement, can be customised in many different ways – including both the interior and exterior layout, for different types of owner from families to groups of friends, and for different needs, and for people who love spending time in the open air, to those who enjoy the cruising experience in Winter.

Express Sportfish Partly Sinks in Chiavari, Genoa

An express sportfish cruiser of eleven meters in length with one person onboard partly sank after it collided with the break wall of the Chiavari harbour, to the East of Genoa at around 08:00 morning time of Wednesday twenty August.  The one man onboard the express sportfish jumped overboard after the collision and was collected by the Guardia Costiera.  Following this the Guardia Costiera tried to tow the sportfish from the break-wall, as with the hull ripped from the collision it was taking on water and in risking of sinking.  It was later decided to leave where it is for the time and suck the fuel from the sportfish in order to avoid pollution in case the boat sinks, and surround it with a pollution boom.  The cause of the sinking was reported to be caused by an error of navigation, some unconfirmed news said the sole skipper onboard said that he fell asleep.  The one person onboard was not injured, with a plan to recover the boat set in motion the following morning.

The express sportfish in this accident is a Rampage 38 Express as produced from 1999 to 2011.  Rampage was co-founded in 1983 by Everett Pearson of Pearson Yachts and debuting with the 31 Sportfisherman in 1985.  Cruisers Inc will buy Rampage in 1993 only to cease operation on that same year, restarting it in 1999 with new designs and stopping it again in 2015.

New Model: Hardy 45 European

Cockwells continue to push the Hardy name with the debut of the 45 European, at the South Coast boat show the past May. The 45 European is a rare sight nowadays presenting itself as a classic pure British inspired aft cabin cruiser, with an offshore seakeeping hull which is also capable of cruising inland waterways effortlessly, thanks to a robust design of the Hardy range with all the contemporary characteristics and technological innovations of a 21st century craft. The Hardy 45 European comes with an expansive aft deck helm, luxurious saloon and galley, full beam owner’s stateroom aft, complete with a king size bed and full-standing headroom, and comfortable double forward guest cabin, ergonomically designed to provide plenty of room for all aboard. The 45 European uses the same semi-displacement hull of the iconic Hardy 42, designed by renowned naval architect, Andrew Wolstenholme, built to deliver exceptional performance and luxury living, whether on ocean passages or in gentler waters. On the one hand, the Hardy 45 European is an ideal inland cruiser, featuring a low-profile design and a folding radar arch to pass under bridges with ease, along with optional bow and stern thruster to provide ultimate manoeuvrability in tight spaces. Powered by twin Yanmar 440hp shaft drive engines as standard, the Hardy 45 European reaches speeds of up to 28 knots. However, this vessel is equally capable of travelling at displacement speed, offering excellent fuel efficiency for long-range cruising.

Improve-it = Bellini Astor 36

Bellini present the Astor 36 as reinterpreted through Daniel Arsham’s unmistakable “future archaeology” aesthetic. Essential, clean lines merge with a visionary concept, where nautical design embraces the language of contemporary art. The result is a walk around sport cruiser with a distinctly contemporary character, also thanks to a meticulously designed color palette: elegant shades of grey and black are complemented by the iconic “Arsham Green,” a unique aqua green hue symbolizing the artist’s poetic vision, skilfully integrated into the hull line, console, hard top, and onboard furnishings. On the outside, this limited edition stands out for its custom-designed side air intakes featuring the artist’s logo, a hard top signed by Arsham Studio, and smoke-colored faux teak surfaces decorated with Arsham’s monogram. The dry-feel fabric covers the aft sunbed, enriched with a custom plate, while the pilot seats feature “Arsham” embroidery that echoes the project’s overall aesthetic. The helm console is notable for its steering wheel with the artist’s logo and a Simrad chart plotter wide navigation system, with an interface developed in collaboration with Daniel Arsham and Mònade Studio. The interiors are characterized by the use of customized fabrics and color schemes, along with two pieces of furniture; a mirror and washbasin from the Kohler x Daniel Arsham collection. Astor 36 by Daniel Arsham also introduces a cutting-edge technological innovation to the yachting sector: the Digital Product Passport, developed in partnership with Arianee, a French company leading in DPP solutions for durable goods. This digital document, based on blockchain technology and activated via a QR code on a card provided upon delivery, ensures transparency throughout the yacht’s supply chain and lifecycle, tracking all key events and enriching the owner’s experience with access to exclusive after-sales services.

Boat Wrecked by Fire in Gundogan Bay, Mugla, Turkey

A sport cruiser of nine meters in length with one person onboard went ablaze in Gundogan Bay, in Bodrum, Mugla, Turkey at noon of Monday eighteen August.  The fire which started for unknown reasons, was extinguished following the intervention of teams from the General Directorate of Coastal Safety and the Coast Guard, while the one person onboard jumped in the sea and was rescued by nearby boaters.  He was reported to have sustained no injuries.  Ultimately the boat was reported wrecked by the fire.

The boat in this fire is a Sancak SVT 9.20 as produced since 2023.  Located in Izmir, Turkey, Sancak Yacht was founded in 2009 by Volkan Önterlikçi, and today it produces sport cruisers from six to eleven meters.

Pershing Yacht Destroyed by Fire in Sapri, Italy

A 24 meter Pershing super sport yacht went ablaze as it was moored in Sapri, in the Province of Salerno, to the South of Italy at 20:30 of Sunday seventeen August.  The Vigili dell Fuoco Fire Fighters of Policastro Bussentino and the Port Captaincy of Sapri, Carabinieri, and Local Police tended to the fire, as they towed the yacht outside of the marina in order to avoid further damage to marina property and nearby yachts.  The yacht was ultimately wrecked by the blaze and sunk in a depth of about sixty meters.  No one was injured as the owner along with his son, and a crew were reported to be dining in a restaurant near the marina.  The cause of the fire is reported to have been generated from a short circuit.

The Pershing in this fire is an 80 model as designed by Fulvio de Simoni, and produced from 2008 to 2012 in ten units.  The 80 was a replacement to the Pershing 76, and was replaced by the 82.
