Improve-it = Palm Beach Motor Yachts GT50

 

Performance has always been central to the DNA of Palm Beach Motor Yachts. Now, the company is taking that philosophy to a new level with the launch of the first Palm Beach GT50 RS, a yacht that combines exhilarating outboard-powered performance with the refinement, sophistication, and craftsmanship expected aboard every Palm Beach Motor Yacht.  Powered by quad Mercury 500R V8 outboards producing a combined two thousand horsepower, the GT50 RS achieves speeds of 50 knots while still delivering the quiet ride, composure, and comfort Palm Beach Motor Yachts is known for. More than just a high-performance outboard yacht, the GT50 RS redefines what owners can expect from the outboard category.  Like many Palm Beach Motor Yachts models, the GT50 RS was born from client demand. Designed for an experienced yachtsman seeking high-speed coastal commuting and cruising capability, hull number one will serve as a stylish commuter between Connecticut and Long Island transforming the often-demanding run between destinations into something genuinely exciting, even in challenging conditions.  The GT50 RS delivers the exhilaration of a high-performance outboard yacht, while large opening windows and sunroof create an open-air, sports car-like driving experience. When owners choose to step out of the wind and elements, the helm and salon can be enclosed to provide quiet, air-conditioned comfort more reminiscent of a luxury automobile than a traditional outboard-powered yacht.

New Model: Beneteau Gran Turismo 40

Seeing the sport cruiser segment changing in recent years, Beneteau made a big turn around and decided to redesign all its Gran Turismo range with three new models.  This new second generation Gran Turismo 40 shows the way forward for what has been Beneteau's success of the last two decades, with this model a replacement to the Gran Turismo 41 produced since 2021, what was previously the first generation Gran Turismo 40, Flyer Gran Turismo 38, and debuted as the Monte Carlo 37 in 2006.  It's been nineteen years of improving for what over the years became the European sport cruiser standard.  With this new Gran Turismo 40, Beneteau instructed its long standing designer Andreani; he designed all the four models mentioned, to make a hybrid, a sport cruiser which brings the amenities of the walk-around cruisers which are dominating the market, like the Fjord, Pardo's and Solaris Power models mixed to those of a cabin boat.  This new Gran Turismo is just that offering for half its length full walk-around comfort, which expands more thanks to the drop down bulkheads, and then from midships it is a cabin boat, with the helm station also enclosing itself from the aft deck, and the forward raised deck which offers lower deck cabin space for four.  The new Benateau Gran Turismo 40 is powered by twin Yanmar 370hp on stern drives propulsion for speeds up to 32 knots, with an outboard gas petrol twin Mercury 400hp also being available.  The second generation Gran Turismo 40 is also offered in the Alpine Edition, for special details and finishing to make that more special.

New Launch: CRN 70m hull.145

CRN has launched the 70m Hull number 145, its latest new full-custom steel and aluminium displacement mega yacht.  Launched in Ancona at the Ferretti Group Superyacht Yard and now titled as Cerulean, following its Project Thunderball name during construction, this seventy meter mega yacht touched the water in an emotion-filled private launch ceremony attended by the owners and their family. The 70-metre CRN motor yacht Hull 145 is the result of a close collaboration between CRN, bringing its extensive expertise in naval architecture, engineering, and the construction of fully bespoke metal yachts and the vision of the Dutch studio Vripack Yacht Design and the Italian firm Nauta. Vripack developed the yacht’s exterior design, preliminary naval architecture, and general arrangement, while Nauta was responsible for the interiors and the design of the outdoor living areas, with a particular focus on comfort and spatial flow. Y.CO, acting as the Owner’s representative and project management team, provided technical expertise and careful oversight throughout all the construction phases, from the inspection and acceptance processes to the project management activities, as well as supervision and coordination of third-party suppliers. CRN 70 meter Hull 145 has a length overall of seventy metres, a beam of beam metres and a gross tonnage of 1,100 GT split into four decks, she can accommodate twelve guests in the owner’s suite and five VIP cabins, as well as fifteen crew members in nine crew cabins. The superyacht embodies CRN’s fully bespoke approach and she integrates advanced engineering solutions, energetic efficiency and the highest level of customization, aligned with the greater standards of international yacht design. The final result is a magnificent vessel that will leave a mark because of the ability to combine design, technology and sophisticated detailing in a form of timeless elegance. CRN Hull 145 silhouette is deeply characterized by a classic elongated bow, a sleek profile, and graceful, sailboat-inspired lines, complemented by gently curved bilges and a seamless surface. A key feature is the continuity of the design between interiors and exteriors: geometries and proportions echo each other, from outside to inside and vice versa, creating a flowing and recognizable path in which patterns are interpreted in different scales, materials and functions to maintain a balance between variety and consistent design. The interior design concept transcends trends and time, reflecting a deep connection to maritime culture. It showcases a sophisticated blend of timeless details, merging heritage with a modern, refined aesthetic that reinterprets these elements from a contemporary lifestyle perspective. From the material selection to the definition of solutions for systems and technical parameters, every decision has been guided by a bespoke owner’s vision and ongoing dialogue between form and function. She is also equipped with an Energy Storage System, designed to manage onboard energy flows based on envisaged operations, capable of peak shaving and silent operation at anchor, contributing to a substantial reduction in fuel usage. CRN 70 m Hull 145 is powered by twin MAN 1626hp engines for top speeds up to fifteen knots and a cruise of twelve.

Project: Dynamiq GST 45M

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.
