Project: Galeon 570 Sky

Galeon present the project for the 570 Sky. Based on the 560 Fly platform which arrived in early 2023, the Galeon 570 Sky is the next step of the Skydeck line, and a replacement to the 560 Skydeck with a new twist that blends a sporty silhouette of a hardtop with the full functionality of a sport bridge. The innovation here is all in the top deck featuring a hidden sport bridge area that when open offers with a full helm with dual seats, and mini L-shaped dinette which can converto to a sun-pad. As the you go in the main deck the 570 Sky will offer a central C-shaped settee, with port and starboard bathing platform access. The interior layout offers an astern galley layout, this located to starboard and also features a drop down window to port side, which with Galeon's trick of drop down balconies expand this area to a new level of deck entertaining. Down below the 570 Sky offers a three double cabins lower deck, with a full beam midships owners stateroom, VIP suite forward, and a third cabin to starboard. A single berth crew cabin berth is located aft. The Galeon 570 Sky is to be powered by twin Volvo 900hp as standard.

New Launch: Oceanco 111m Hull Y722

Oceanco has on the tenth August launched the 111 meters hull Y722 as it was put in the water to start her sea trials.  Titled Leviathan this 111m diesel-electric super yacht redefines how to live and operate at sea, and was designed not around tradition but around purpose, putting people at the heart of every decision. Built for an experienced owner with a deep commitment to team building and crew wellbeing, Oceanco Y722 represents a shift in how yachts are imagined, built, and run. From day one, crew were invited into the process not just as operators, but lending their operational insights to shape a yacht that works better for those who run it. Materials and systems were chosen not to reduce effort, but to redirect effort toward higher-value work, not repetitive basic maintenance. Durable, ease of care materials like honed stone and natural wool carpets reduce upkeep, allowing crew to focus on the things that truly matter, whether it is creating richer guest experiences, supporting onboard scientific work, or managing complex operations in real time. Traditional high-maintenance elements like polished handrails with wooden capping's, teak decks and vast painted superstructure sections were intentionally replaced with smart alternatives such as composite capping rails / decks and full height glass superstructure bulkheads, all without compromising but enhancing aesthetics. Y722 design reflects a human-centric approach to life at sea. With naval architecture by Lateral Naval Architects and Oceanco, exterior design by Oceanco, and interiors by Mark Berryman Design, every element has been developed to enhance functionality and comfort for both crew and guests. The owner played an active role throughout the process, alongside YTMC the owner’s technical representatives, and Y.CO, ensuring the yacht remains aligned with its guiding philosophy. Crew and co-makers alike contributed their expertise, reflected in every practical detail and solution. As a tribute to the spirit of collaboration at the heart of this project, a glass panel engraved with the names of over 2,000 individuals involved in the build now stands in Y722 main staircase, a permanent reminder that this yacht was built by people, for people.

Projects: Benetti B.Now 52M, Benetti B.Loft 58M

Benetti's steel legacy announces the two new projects for the B.Now 52M and the B.Loft 58M. Pictured above is the B.Now 52M project, with exteriors by RWD and interiors designed by Valentina Zannier. The B.Now 52M is a replacement and reinterpretation of the B.Now 50M, one of the most successful models in the family, which has sold 21 units in just a few years, an absolute record in this size category. The revolution stems from the desire to reimagine the spaces, not only by increasing the size of the hull, but also through innovative interior design that breaks with tradition to promote a harmonious flow between the various areas. The Oasis Deck® is 30% larger than the previous version, extending over a surface area of 130 square metres and extending a full 15 metres of space from the stern to the lounge entrance. The larger and completely redesigned pool incorporates a retractable cover system that transforms the area into a spacious platform on the water with a magical atmosphere. While the exterior has been redesigned to offer generous spaces, the real heart of the project can be found on the Main Deck: entering through the lounge door, a continuous 48-metre pathway extends right up to the panoramic bow terrace, offering uninterrupted views. Here, the layout amplifies the sense of space by eliminating the external starboard side corridor, which is now integrated within the interiors in a new solution featuring huge, glazed surfaces. The larger internal staircase, positioned in the centre of the new open space, becomes a design feature, while the dining room, now located at the bow, is flooded by light entering through floor-to-ceiling windows. On the Upper Deck, the elimination of the external staircase up to the terrace creates a new area entirely reserved for the owner; 110 square metres split between the master cabin and the private terrace.

The Benetti B.Loft 58M project is like its bigger seven meter B.Loft 65M sister designed by Giorgio Cassetta, retaining the distinctive features and contemporary architectural language inspired by large villas and modern lofts.  The experience on board starts with the Cabana, a shaded area that can be open or closed, right on the water's edge, offering a new and original interpretation of the beach club. The side wings swing out to create a 120-square-metre bathing platform stretching over fifteen metres wide. An indoor and outdoor space on the water, where the light reflecting from the pool on the terrace above envelops this convivial and relaxing setting.  The loft experience is characterised by the panoramic Sky Lounge on the Upper Deck, which extends across over seventy square metres and has a remarkable ceiling height of 3.5 metres. The large glass side walls offer an unobstructed view of the horizon, while a wide sliding door opens onto an outdoor area with sea views.  Both the sleek, elegant exterior styling and interiors featuring generous proportions and a wealth of functions are by Cassetta Yacht Designers.

Mangusta Yacht Partly Sinks in Aventura, Florida

A 32 meter Mangusta sport yacht titled Forza partly sank as it was docked in Turnberry Marina, Aventura, Florida at 05:35 morning time of Thursday thirteen November.  The yacht sank stern down, as this fully went under water, and before the assistance of the salvagers was in the point of also sinking its tender/chase boat rib which was moored to its stern-starboard side.  Miami-Dade Fire Rescue responded to the sinking and were assisted by Fast Response who shared the story on his Facebook page, securing the rib, and then boon protected the yacht for pollution.  No one was injured as the yacht was not attended during the sinking, with a refloat operation being organized.

The yacht in this part-sinking is a 2002 Overmarine Mangusta 108 as designed by Stefano Righini and produced from 2000 to 2013 in 28 units.  When released the Mangusta 108 was the largest super sport yacht produced, with the model replaced by the Mangusta 110.

Fire at Greek Zea Marina Wrecks Three Yachts

A fire at Zea Marina in Piraeus, to the South West of Athens which originated from the tourist sailing gullet Mirasol has wrecked three yachts from 23 to 43 meters, including of which is the Mangusta super yacht Sanctuary.  The blaze started just after 03:00 early morning time of Thursday thirteen November.  Hellenic Fire Service tended to the blaze with twenty fire fighters from both land water and were assisted by watercraft from the Coast Guard, fighting the fire for more than five hours, to no success as all three yachts ended wrecked.  Strong winds pushing the fire from the starboard to port side of the gullet did not help the situation, as these jumped first on the 23 meter Azimut sport yacht Alkyone, then on a 26 meters Azimut flybridge yacht, and then on the 43 meter Sanctuary.  No injuries were reported as the coast guard cordoned the area, and then surrounded the wrecks with a pollution protection mesh. 

The three yachts in this fire are m/y Alkyone a 2017 Azimut 77S designed by Stefano Righini, and produced from 2014 to 2020 in seventeen units.  The second yacht involved was an Azimut 85 as designed by Stefano Righini and produced from 2005 to 2009 in nineteen units.  Last yacht wrecked and the largest of the blaze was m/y Sanctuary a 2019 Overmarine Mangusta Oceano 43, designed by Alberto Mancini and produced from 2019 to 2021 in four units. 

This is the second fire at the same marina in just over a year, with that blaze coming on the night of first August 2024.  That past fire had a similar script as a tourist vessel also started the blaze which then burned the custom Picchiotti 42 meter m/y Libra, and the Cantieri di Pisa built Golden Yachts completed 32 meter O'rianna.  A link to the post of that accident is in the comments below.

Project: Domina Yachts 50 WA

Domina Yachts present the project for a new 50 Walkaround set to arrive in most probability in the coming year.  Designed as the two other smaller Domina's by Marco Seri the 50 Walkaround comes as a larger offer to the 42 Walkaround, which is Domina current best seller.  So far very little information is offered on the 50 Walkaround, but with these scale models as displayed during the 2025 Genoa boat show, we know that it will feature latest amenities as drop down bulkheads, and an ever ending all fifteen meters length exterior space; with two; aft and fore dinettes.  The Domina Yachts 50 Walkaround in this scale models also shows a two stepped hull showing a performance focus probably to go beyond fifty knots.  Domina Yachts has not advised any engine and propulsion details, but I would imagine for the 50 Walkaround to be available with inboard surface drives, and outboards as the current 42 WA and 44R models.  During the 2025 Genoa boat show Domina Yachts also teased for a 50R open style yacht.
