Dynamiq present a new Sturge and Toth collaboration, with the designers delivering a compelling presentation that invited guests into their creative process, offering a rare behind-the-scenes look at the principles, sketches, and logic that guide their design thinking. The result is a bold new exterior concept that launches a dedicated line within Dynamiq’s portfolio under the GST name. The initial proposal is a 45-meter modern family yacht, an intelligent and refined reimagining of previous models in the Dynamiq’s lineup. Rather than simply restyle the existing Global 450 platform, the duo set out to carefully evolve its identity, infusing the design with what they call “timeless elegance” while preserving Dynamiq’s performance-driven DNA. Toby Sturge and Ben Julian Toth explored a spectrum of design directions, from modern classic to progressive modern, before arriving at a final profile that blends strength, sculptural clarity, and refined proportions. Key features of the GST45M concept include a symmetrical double-balcony master suite, a protected stern, convertible pool area, and a whale-watching lounge at the bow, all integrated with precision and a sense of purpose. The design speaks to the future of luxury yachting; functional, elegant and thoughtfully tailored to modern lifestyles.

New Model: Galeon 520 Fly
Galeon debuted its new 520 Fly at the Miami Boat Show earlier this year. The 520 Fly is a replacement to the ten years produced 500 Fly model, probably Galeon's most important model to date, the one which introduced the expanding trasformative drop-down bulkheads who since then became a focus of signature of the Polish yacht builder offer. Designed by over twenty years Galeon designer Tony Castro, the 520 Fly follows similar styling to the well received 560 Fly which arrived three years ago in 2023. The 520 Fly is similar to it's lightly larger 560 Fly sister in a bit of a smaller size, which when you start crunching numbers is less to the four foot the model designation gives. For the 520 Fly, Galeon also bring InSitu and Partners for interior design, who present the three Amber, Ocean, and Ivory themed palettes for the furnishing style. The interior of the 520 Fly has a living with astern galley layout, which in full Galeon fashion with opening windows and expanding balconies transforms the area to something unique which only the Polish builder offers today. The lower deck is a three double cabins with two heads layout; full beam midships located owners stateroom, VIP suite forward, and twin berth cabin to port side. A single berth crew cabin is also located aft, with this optionable as a tender garage. The Galeon 520 Fly is powered by twin Volvo 725hp with line shaft propulsion in propeller tunnels for top speeds up to thirty knots and cruising speed in the mid twenties.

Having presented the second generation Wajer 55 in the fall of 2025, the Dutch boat builder updates the other versions; the 55 HT and 55 S models with the new changes of the second generation 55. These new versions keep the line of the first generation 55, with this second generation 55 bringing some skin deep updates. The second generation Wajer 55 is recognizable by some cosmetic details, from the air intakes which curve at the stern and are positioned under the rub rail, similar to the Wajer 77, and the bathing platform which extends from the hull. The Wajer 55 is not just a cosmetic improvement on the previous model but also features a new hull which is nearly three feet longer and 25 centimetres wider. Above is pictured the Wajer 55 HT for hard-top version, which offers more convenient weather protection, while below is the 55 S walk-around center console version, which offers fore to aft easy to move deck space, but sacrifices cabin space, although this still does offer a four berths sleeping accommodation albeit a bit restricted in space.
