Project: Extra Yachts X 90 Fast

Extra Yachts present the project for the new X 90 Fast. Designed by Hot Lab for both exterior and interior, the X 90 Fast is a super sport yacht that strikes a perfect balance between performance and comfort, distributed in endless outdoor space, with comfortable interiors. The X 90 Fast development required careful study of proportions, resulting in a dynamic bow that enhances sporty yet marine look. Its innovative design gives it a distinctive character that stands out in any marina. Liveability is exceptional across all areas: 86 square meters of carefully arranged outdoor spaces span the bow and stern on the main deck, with this also giving a fifty square meters beach club which gives a seamless connection to the sea, with a cockpit that gently cascades over three levels down to the water. A wider hull than others in its class ensures surprisingly spacious interiors, typically found on larger bulkier yachts. The Extra Yachts X 90 Fast also offers an unusual in its size aster galley layout, connected to the exterior via a retractable glass partition, it fosters a more informal, convivial atmosphere. The interiors feature clean lines, premium materials, and clever design solutions that emphasize light, openness, and contemporary elegance, with a lower deck offering a four double cabins lower deck with a master stateroom at midships, a very spacious VIP suite forward with the bed looking to starboard. The lower deck is also incredibly spacious not spacious corridor in between the cabins. A crew care with two cabins and a small lobby with dinette and kitchenette is located at midships in between the cabins. The Extra Yachts X 90 Fast is powered by triple Volvo 1000hp, for top speeds up to 29 knots and a cruise of 23.

Azimut Sport Yacht Sinks in Aventura Florida

A not attended twenty meter Azimut sport yacht titled 3K partly sank in a marina at Aventura, Florida, North-East Miami Dade on the morning of Friday 26 September.  The story was reported on the Fast Response Marine Towing and Salvage Facebook page, who also floated the Azimut back up on the same day.  The yacht caused oil pollution as it sank, probably coming out from the engines, and was surrounded by a pollution protection boon.  The cause of the sinking was reported to water coming in from the swimming ladder stowage area in the bathing platform.  

The Azimut yacht in this sinking is the 68S as designed by Stefano Righini for exterior and interiors by Carlo Galeazzi, produced from 2003 up to 2009 in over one hundred units.  When debuting in a private event in mid 2003 the 68S marked Azimut entry in offering a sport yacht. The 68S was replaced by the Azimut 72S.

New Model: Arcadia A80

The first unit of the new Arcadia A80 launched in September was presented at the Cannes 2025 yachting festival. The Arcadia A80 redefines the standards in the under-24-metre segment, offering features previously unthinkable in this size category and ensuring maximum cruising freedom in compliance with new regulations introduced to protect Posidonia Oceanica. In parallel with the launch of the first hull, Arcadia announced the sale of hull number three, with delivery to a repeat customer planned for the 2026 season, confirming the appeal of the A80, and that it is a huge success.  The Arcadia A80 represents a step change in the segment up to 24 metres, is the shipyard’s response to owners’ desire to freely explore the most highly valued marine areas in the Mediterranean, in full compliance with environmental regulations designed to protect Posidonia Oceanica. With a length overall of just under 25 metres, the A80 is positioned as a true game changer on the international yachting scene, offering a combination of features not previously available all together in this market segment: the widebody configuration results in interior volumes comparable with larger yachts, while the layout is designed to maximise comfort and privacy. One of the yacht’s main strengths is the interior layout, offering a master suite on the Main Deck with prime sea views under 24 meters.  The only other yacht with such a feature is the Wally Why150.  The master stateroom also features direct access to the social areas, while the four guest cabins on the lower deck ensure maximum privacy and comfort. The four crew members are accommodated in two double cabins, each with its own toilet, and have a dedicated crew mess. The stern garage, with space for a tender or water toys, completes an offering that redefines standards in the segment, combining compact dimensions with the features of a superyacht. Imprinted with Arcadia’s DNA, the new A80 integrates leading-edge environmental sustainability solutions, including latest-generation solar panels which deliver 4.3 kw of energy and optimised energy management systems.  The Arcadia A80 is standard powered by twin Volvo 900hp engines with IPS pod propulsion for speeds up to nineteen knots, with larger optional 1000hp engines giving an extra two knots more of top speed and cruise.

Projects: Sunseeker 74 Ocean, Sunseeker 74 Ocean Enclosed

Although presenting itself with no novelties at the 2025 Cannes boat show, Sunseeker showed its future plans, and presented the next model to the Ocean range with the introduction of the 74 Ocean.  The 74 Ocean is the third model of the cross-over explorer yacht Ocean series, which debuted with the 90 Ocean in 2021.  The first and to date largest model of Sunseeker Ocean series has been a success with 34 units delivered so far, and was followed in 2024 with the 82 Ocean Enclosed, so it is understandable to see Sunseeker expand the range further  with the 74 Ocean project.  Unlike its bigger sisters the new 74 Ocean comes with new features not found in its larger sisters.  The most important is that the 74 Ocean is to have fold-down balconies which expand the large aft bathing platform to a larger beach area with seamless connection to the sea, while the second is that it will be powered by Volvo 900 or 1000hp engines with IPS pod propulsion.  For the remaining the Sunseeker 74 Ocean brings the features of the larger Ocean 82 and 90 in a more compact size, from the expansive and deep bathing platform, uninterrupted living main deck with large galley dinning, and relaxing lounge fore deck all serviced by ceiling to floor windows, and one of the largest flybridge in the category.  Below deck, the 74 Ocean reveals a full-beam master cabin complete with a private en-suite, with three further guest cabins, each with their own en-suite, including the choice to have a VIP suite forward with it private deck. Dedicated crew accommodation for two, with discreet access from the side decks and direct entry to the engine room, preserves guest privacy on every voyage. A crew cabin for two is located at midships in between the master and engine room.

The Sunseeker 74 Ocean Enclosed will be near identical to the open bridge sister, with the difference of a part wide body enclosed climate controlled raised bridge.  This version offers a comfortable alternative second enclosed social space separate from the main deck entertaining areas, which can also be spec'd with the optional glazed opening roof that allows an open-air atmosphere.  The 74 Ocean Enclosed flybridge offers a free aft deck space, with the inside featuring an L-shaped saloon with desk unit opposite, dual seat helm station to starboard, with dual port and starboard doors leading you to a forward located sun-pad.  Designed for the exterior inhouse, the Sunseeker 74 Ocean features interior by Design Unlimited, who bring the latest in contemporary finishes and fabrics.
