Blending sleek, aerodynamic lines with cutting-edge design and innovation, this 55-meter superyacht reflects the finest in modern yachting through a dynamic yet refined aesthetic. The exterior styling is penned by Luca Dini Design and Architecture, while the interiors bear the unmistakable signature of Piero Lissoni and his team at Lissoni and Partners, delivering a contemporary, bespoke atmosphere throughout.  The T55 Sportiva has started with a fast start, as a month after the launch of the first hull, the second hull was launched.

Project: Delta Marine 46m Project Zembra

Delta have announced the 46 meter Project Zembra.  Commissioned in 2023 Project Zembra comes from owners who are in love with expedition style explorer yachts, with this yacht being the third, after two yachts of 26 and 27 meters in that style. For Zembra the owner requested clean lines with large windows and a full displacement hull, but also the capacity to carry toys. From a helicopter landing area on the sundeck, a two-person ICON A5 amphibious aircraft and a three-passenger U-Boat Worx submersible for deep-sea exploration.

New Model: Numarine 40MXP

Numarine, the yacht builder of luxury long range explorer yachts, has launched the first 40MXP superyacht, the new forty metre flagship of its popular XP Series, and its largest build to date. This first 40MXP is to be followed by another second hull unit delivery later this year.  Made for Med and beyond MXP stands for Mediterranean Explorer.  The term reflects the beach club lifestyle typical of the Mediterranean, connecting the 40MXP closer to the water to the other XP Numarine's. The 40MXP is based on the 37XP extended in length and adding recent Med lifestyle solutions, but apart extending the hull the new Numarine flagship has been tweaked in other ways; the aft deck has been significantly enlarged, both as a result of the increased hull length and by moving the saloon’s aft sliding doors slightly forward. The result is a spacious area accommodating a large alfresco dining space, a bar, and a lounge surrounding another standout feature, an aft pool with a glass transom. This spectacular new social hub connects to a vast hydraulic swim platform that spans the yacht’s full eight metre beam.  This outdoor haven can be shaded with an awning to provide protection from the sun, ideal for the warmer climates. Thanks to an optimised hull form developed by long standing naval architecture partner Umberto Tagliavini, the yacht boasts an impressive six thousand nautical miles range at eight knots.  The Numarine 40 MXP is standard powered by twin MAN 800hp engines, for sped up to fourteen knots, with the option to upgrade to twin 900hp. Inside, the yacht offers Numarine’s signature space and luxury.  Accommodation can be arranged across six suites for up to twelve guests, including a full beam master on the main deck, along with two additional customisable cabin spaces.  Crew accommodation is for nine in nine cabins including a captains cabin behind the wheel house.  Both the interior and exterior design are once again the work of Can Yalman, with the 40MXP inheriting everything that made the 37XP a highly sought after and commercially successful model, from an expansive flybridge to a generous upper and inviting main deck. A true global explorer, the yacht offers transatlantic range and a substantial tender deck capable of carrying a nine metre tender and three full size jet skis, with additional space for water toys.

Two Yachts Ablaze at Marina Del Cavallino, Venice

Two yachts of eighteen and thirteen meters in length respectively went ablaze at Marina del Cavallino, Venice, Italy at 17:30 of Wednesday tenth September.  The fire is reported to have started on the large classic Riva yacht, as some works were being carried out in the forward cabin, with this then jumping to the smaller flybridge cruiser with the wind.  Fire fighters from the Vigili del Fuoco of Jesolo with a second squad from San Dona di Piave coming later, fought the blaze.  Ultimately the fire was controlled with no injuries, with both boats ending wrecked.  Both yachts were reported to have been dry docked in recent days for some maintenance works.

The classic Riva yacht in this fire is a Corsaro 60 as designed by Giorgio Barilani and produced from 1982 to 1989 in 43 units.  The Corsaro 60 was evolved and replaced by the Corsaro 20.  The other boat is a Marchi 44 as designed by Yankee Delta of Massimo Gregori and produced in the nineties. The 44 was a replacement to the Marchi 45 and then evolved into the 46.

New Model: Palm Beach GT60 Jetdrive

Palm Beach enter its GT series into a new era, as it presents the GT60 with Jetdrive. The Jetdrive version is to be available even on the smaller GT50. With the GT60 Jetdrive, Palm Beach enters into Hinckley territory from a certain point of view, although it is fair to say the GT series is a bit a cross-over styled sporty yacht with hull lines of a down Easter, and a modern more adventurous super structure. In respect to the standard IPS version the GT60 Jetdrive offers little differences, the hull is a bit longer on the chines but a bit shorter in the centreline for the jets, and with the no running gear to the bottom a thirty centimetres less of draft. The first GT60 Jetdrive unit is a customisable boat, painted in a dark near black grey it featured an un-edited open stern layout, with a mezzanine looking aft settee, but also a no patio door main deck. The Palm Beach GT60 Jetdrive is powered by twin Volvo 1000hp with Hamilton water jets and achieved up to 43 knots top speed, with a 35 cruise, which would make it a three knots faster boat to the IPS version.

Project: Absolute Navetta 66

Absolute present the Navetta 66 project, an evolution and replacement to the Navetta 64 which debuted in 2021.  As major differences the Navetta 66 will add a larger cockpit with the open veranda layout which has proven to be such a success for the Absolute since it introduced this concept on the 60 Fly in 2021, that most other builders have copied this feature since then.  In the Navetta 66 adds a special feature of offering an aft guest suite with direct access to the bathing platform.  How is that for a privileged spot for a special guest.  Probably some owners, might also trade this for the larger owners suite forward.  The Navetta 66 is a four guest cabin boat; owners cabin forward, VIP suite to midships portside, double guest cabin to starboard, and the previously mentioned guest suite aft.  A crew cabin is located to starboard at midships, with entry the starboard side-deck.  The Absolute Navetta 66 offers an astern galley layout, with a dining table for eight opposite the galley, and a relaxing L-shaped sofa, while forward and two steps up is a the central helm station.  The flybridge of the Navetta 66 is huge, and is one of the three exterior entertainment areas which offer dining and lounging seating, the other two located forward and the ever existing aft deck.  The Absolute Navetta 66 is to be powered by twin Volvo 900hp as standard or optional 1000hp.

New Model: Focus 3X

Focus launch the awaited new 3X, an innovative hard-top sport cruiser which breaks a few barriers between a sport-cruiser to those of walk-around day boats.  The Focus 3X shines because it offers similar exterior spaces to those of more open cruiser, with an interesting cabin layout.  The innovative exterior which gets more interesting thanks to the extended hard-top design with two-meter wide electric side windows and the electric glass hardtop in the cockpit, enabling it to seamlessly transition to an almost entirely open boat.  This unique feature provides interesting flexibility and connection to the sea.  Flexibility though does not stop here in the 3X, as it offers two options for the cockpit deck, and four lower deck layout choices.  The cockpit deck comes with the L-shape deck layout, with the option being for symmetrical opposite settee choice.  The lower deck which comes standard with a forward double berth; a small dinette to port side with L-shaped galley opposite, and shower head to starboard at midships.  The flexibility here is endless and what actually never changes is the forward cabin with central double berth, with the most interesting option being the B2 choice for a second cabin with double berth at midships starboard, a shower head forward, and a galley to port.  The Focus 3X shows again its flexibility also in its power choices offered with six engine choices; diesel, gas, sterndrive, and one outboard choice.  The smallest engine choice is the Volvo or Mercruiser diesels at 270hp, with the larger being the twin 430hp Mercruiser.

New Model: Riva 54Metri

54 metres of pure beauty, a masterpiece of elegance and majesty that takes the style of the world’s most famous shipyard into a new dimension: the first Riva 54Metri, the largest Riva ever built, has been launched at the Superyachts Division in Ancona at the beginning of August. With a length over 54 metres the all-aluminium Riva 54Metri has a gross tonnage under 500 GT and is perfectly aligned with the timeless style that has always defined the brand identity that makes Riva unique. Majestic and elegant, Riva 54Metri is the result of a joint effort by Officina Italiana Design, the firm of Mauro Micheli and Sergio Beretta and exclusive designer of the entire Riva range for over thirty years, the Strategic Product Committee led by Piero Ferrari, and the Ferretti Group Engineering Department. Riva 54Metri’s sleek, sporty lines capture hearts right from the very first glance: a sophisticated combination of Moon Grey, London Grey and Bright Black, with detailing in polished steel, points up the yacht’s classic, sculptural silhouette and unmistakable aquamarine waterline. The largest Riva ever built spans four decks; with the lower, main and upper decks connected by a lift located amidships.  Accommodation is for ten guests in four guest cabins and a majestic master suite at the bow on the main deck. The crew area has five double cabins and a captain’s cabin next to the wheelhouse, for a crew of eleven. The spectacular outdoor areas are the stand-out feature of Riva 54Metri, designed to establish a permanent connection with the water for owner and guests, as well as to offer opportunities for fun and relaxation in complete privacy.  At the stern, a large transformer platform with an extra-wide walkway provides access to the beach area, where a five-metre-long pool takes centre stage, flanked on either side by sun loungers. Five steps higher, the welcome area on the main deck is a refined space, furnished with a large sofa, armchairs and an outdoor bar that leads to the main lounge. Both hull sides in the beach club and main deck cockpit areas fold out to form magnificent terraces on the water. At the bow, the innovation that pervades Riva 54Metri takes the form of two large sun sofas that extend the lounge area and hide part of the technical space beneath from view, designed with a hinge mechanism to make it easier to launch and haul up the tender, jet ski and water toys.  The interiors feature fine marble including Sahara Noir and Bianco Rhino, alternating with natural teak panelling and leather finishes to create elegant contrasts of colour and texture throughout the boat.  There was a sharp focus on guest privacy, with special crew routes to ensure discreet and efficient service on all decks. Acoustic comfort was another design priority, with solutions that ensure maximum insulation and reduce vibration and noise to a minimum, including four electric stabilizer fins and two electric rudders, designed to ensure the maximum possible comfort and silence when under way. The innovative approach to the entire project is also reflected in Riva 54Metri’s helm station, which is equipped with two X-band radar systems, 5G connectivity plus a Starlink antenna, a full ECDIS system, three 27-inch touchscreens and a 44-inch stretch monitor.  Riva first 54Metri is reported to be powered by twin MTU 1800hp for top speeds up to eighteen knots and a cruise of fourteen.
