Project: Ferretti 800

Ferretti present the project of a new 800 model. Designed as all the range by Giovanni Zuccon with the technical side covered by Ferretti's AYT department, the 800 at eighty feet stands at the super yacht category entrance, and will be of a flybridge two deck style. The rendering does give a bit the idea for it to be a two and a half decked yacht, but actually it is not. The 800 will have an innovative plan layout with the galley moved to the furthest fore part of the interior main deck, and the two crew cabins located at the tip of the bow below. The crew quarters and galley are actually connected together. This solution is often seen on yachts close to fifty metres and is used because it easily separates the crew from running around the guests when not needed. It also gives more space to the lower deck by moving the engines further aft, and adds length to the main saloon because of the galley now moved to fore. The owner and guest accommodation is for a four cabin layout all with en-suite heads, with what is a standard plan configuration for this size. Full beam owners suite to midship, VIP to fore, double cabin to port, and twin L-shaped to starboard. Finishing inside will be with elm wood, leather and melange fabrics all toned to a light beige color to give a natural light feel thanks to the big view windows located in every part of the Super Yacht. The 800 will also offer a C-shaped settee to fore. Ferretti where among the first to offer an exterior fore settee on deck with the 690 Altura back in 2005, but never actually showed this on its standard line as before this 800 project. Performance is an estimated top speed of 31 knots from twin 1800hp MAN, which so far seems the only power option for the 800.

New Model: Galeon 340 Fly

PowerYacht made you follow the making of Galeon's new 340 Fly, from its project design released in October, to the INBUILD four part story. So now it is fitting to show exclusive pictures of the finished flybridge Motor Cruiser, especially for those who could not make to its first World preview in Dusseldorf during the current week. The 340 Fly will be a big challenge for Galeon as it targets to beat its best sold model, that is the 330 Fly delivered in over two hundred examples till the past Summer. Surely the 340 Fly has all the making to challenge the 330 records with its modern exterior which is very similar to Galeon's 640 flybridge flagship, luxurious fittings, and a unique three cabin interior. This last feature very unheard in flybridge boats under thirteen metres. Still for the fans of the 330 Fly, Galeon so far has decided to keep it in production along the 340 for at least the 2010 season. None the less the 340 Fly is built on the success that is the 330 and builds on its bases to present a better more modern flybridge motor cruiser, with the addition in length giving further cockpit space, bigger flybridge, and an extended bathing platform. Hull number one was fitted with wenge wood fittings, but a light colored oak veneer choice is also available. Power will be from twin Volvo's up to 300hp, with stern drive as propulsion, which give estimated top speeds up to 35 knots.

Improve-it = Kadey-Krogen 48 North Sea

Kadey-Krogen has been building the 48 North Sea since 1996 and over the years, like all the models, it has evolved and changed as a result of owner feedback and advancements in technology. The 48 North Sea remains one of the most popular models and today’s new improved version is the embodiment of the company’s competencies. Owner feedback was the driving force in changes made to the 48 North Sea all of which enhance the live ability of the boat. The centerpiece of the improved 48 North Sea is the newly enlarged galley which now features a four-burner Viking range, household sized refrigeration as standard, and there is room for a trash compactor and dishwasher as optionals. Stainless steel is standard on the appliances although traditional finishes are available. Kadey-Krogen also completely re engineered the flybridge. Instead of a center line helm flanked by settees running fore and aft, the flybridge piloting station is now off to starboard with an L-shaped settee to port that extends the entertainment space of the boat and makes cruising on the flybridge more comfortable for guests. The flybridge also has a summer kitchen, a feature that contributes to the boat’s self-sufficient capabilities and is popular with owners who entertain on the hook. The second reinvented and improved 48 North Sea is underway to the East Coast for owners Will and Sue Parry who believe this boat will bring them full circle in their fifth Kadey-Krogen experience, and the first arrived in Seattle last fall.

Project: Pearl 75

British Pearl Yachts presents the project of a new flagship, with the renderings showcasing a 75 model. Surprising its fan and competitors this new flagship project abandons the very British aft cabin design as seen on the previous Pearl models. The Pearl 75 brings together large spaces with luxurious styling and outstanding levels of comfort, added with easy manoeuvrability, a rather large flybridge, jet ski garage, and a hydraulic bathing platform. Vast areas of glass surfaces maximise natural light in the saloon, galley and internal helm areas creating bright, open spaces. While large rectangular bonded glass port lights flood the cabins with sunlight by day, and moonlight by night. The Pearl 75 boasts a standard four cabin eight berth guest interior where multiple layout and styling options ensure each yacht is created to meet personal requirements. Power options are still under confirmation but quadruple pod units are under huge consideration, although this is still to be confirmed. If that will be case this will be the first European build flybridge motor yacht to be powered in this manner. Estimated speeds are for a max of 32 knots, a cruise of 25 knots, and a medium range of 350 nautical miles.

New Model: Beneteau 34 Swift Trawler S

As has been from Beneteau in recent times, the 1884 founded French builder innovates and offers different versions to its models. This is the case with the 34 Swift Trawler S, which is a 34 Swift Trawler but without the second helm flybridge up top. Yes as the above pictures shows you still have ladder to go up top, but that is because the 34 Swift Trawler S has made space use above for storage space, or a sun bathing one. The 34 Swift Trawler S thanks to its lower height can also be an ideal inland water ways canal explorer cruiser. For the remaining of it the 34 Swift Trawler S is the same as the standard fall of 2009 introduced flybridge version, offering four berths in two cabins below, additional extra two berths in the saloon, and 21 knots top speed with a single engine.

New Model: Viking 76 Enclosed Bridge

Hot on the heels of the success of the new 76 Convertible, which premiered at the Fort Lauderdale Boat Show the fall of 2009, Viking has launched the first 76 Enclosed Bridge. This new enclosed flying bridge for the 76 Convertible offers a raised control station forward and a second pod style helm on the aft deck for docking. A Stidd helm seat at the forward interior station is flanked with companion seats port and starboard. Creating what is essentially a second salon, the expansive area abaft the helm includes an L-shaped lounge with a cocktail table on a raised platform for enhanced visibility, a 32-inch flat screen television, which rises out of the teak cabinetry, an audio system, a refrigerator with built-in icemaker, plush carpeting and a baby ostrich headliner. A weatherproof lockable door leads to the aft deck with additional seating, quartz lighting molded into the aft overhang and powder coated aluminum railing on the aft deck and flying bridge ladder from the cockpit mezzanine. A teak stairway from the salon provides all weather access to the enclosed helm area. The new 76 Enclosed Bridge is slated to be introduced during a private showing at the fourteenth Annual Viking VIP Miami Boat Show Preview in Riviera Beach, Florida, at the Viking Yacht Service Center at the end of Januray, and after this it will have its World premiere at the Miami Boat Show in mid February. Featuring five staterooms, including a full-beam master suite, this first launch of the 76 Enclosed Bridge is powered with a pair of 2,400hp MTU 16V Series 2000 M93 diesels, which deliver a mid 30 knot cruise and a top end approaching 40 knots.

Project: Absolute 50 Fly

Italian Absolute continue its New Wave thinking and surprise its competitors and clients by presenting a flybridge motor yacht project with the 50 Fly. This new model will also be the initiative of a new Fly line from Absolute, so expect more to come from the North Italian builder and be assured that after this one is launched during the coming fall, it will soon be followed by a full line of flybridge boats in a couple of years. The interior layout is for a living on the main deck with galley, saloon, and three double cabins below. The layout is surprising for the fact that the owners suite is to fore. I am sure that seeing the big view windows to midship you would have thought otherwise. A VIP stateroom, the double cabin to midship, and a guest head complete the lower deck layout. Absolute is also thinking for extra comfort in its first motor yacht by offering a hard top on the flybridge, crew cabin, and a hydraulic up and down platform as standard. As expected from Absolute the 50 Fly will be powered by Volvo IPS600 in a standard twin version, or a more performing triple engine choice. The North Italian Absolute has huge experience with the use of Volvo IPS pods, being one of the early users and the first to put a triple engine set up on its 56. Today IPS pods drive seven out of eight in its current line up, all this being well promising for the performance of this flybridge motor yacht project.

New Model: Mustang 2850 Sport Cruiser

Mustang Marine embark on 2010 with great panache by officially launching their new 2850 Sports Cruiser. A much expected model the 2850 Sports Cruiser is based on the popular 2800 Sports Cruiser, and captures a review of the Australian boat builder entry level sport cruiser market offer. The 2850 will make its way around Australia and New Zealand in the coming weeks. Mustang says the 2850 Sport Cruiser takes all that was good in the 2800 and adds a range of the latest innovations, with extra living and entertaining space. The 2850 Sport Cruiser now has more beam to provide extra room in the cockpit area, and below decks. The galley has been moved from below deck to the cockpit deck, providing more comfort, access when entertaining with your family and friends. Down below is a full standing head room even in the separate shower toilet. As seen on other Mustang models, even on its entry level model the Aussie builder integrates latest technology features as the touch screen electrical control panel, Finscan fingerprint starting technology, Smart Craft gauges, electric engine room access, and latest entertainment systems. Steps leading to the foredeck, boarding ladder to stern will ensure safe easy access whilst on the boat in and out of the water. For anyone considering getting into boating, the 2850 Sports Cruiser should be well inspected as it offers a lot although to make it work in Europe I do suggest Mustang to put a diesel engine option, as well as bigger fuel tanks. A more sportier version of the 2850 named Super Sports is also on the works.

Project: Jet Tern Selene 86 Ocean Explorer

Jet Tern Marine is continues its expansion of the ocean trawlers line presenting the project and designs for the new Selene 86 Ocean Explorer. The new design is the result of an international collaboration of designers and architects under Howard Chen’s team leadership. Working closely with renowned Dutch naval architect Guido de Groot and other international consultants, Jet Tern Marine has developed a contemporary take on the long range yacht. The Selene 86 is the largest design in the fleet and is part of the Ocean Explorer series. The new 86 will be built with solid reinforced fiberglass construction applied with vacuum resin infusion, and will have ocean going capability, low fuel consumption, and extensive range. The Ocean Explorer models also have a high level of luxury and super yacht styling. The Selene 86 resembles her sister ships in that the design features a raised pilothouse, Portuguese bridge, and bulbous bow. However, this new flagship from Jet Tern has more contemporary exterior lines as well as the addition of large side windows in the hull, and stainless steel anchor pockets which is a departure from other Selene models. The blend of the traditional full displacement hull with modern design details and interior appointments qualify the new Selene 86 Ocean Explorer as a true luxury long range yacht. Inside, the Selene 86 boasts four staterooms each with an en suite head. Though this boat could be handled by a couple thanks to sophisticated systems, crew quarters are integral to the design. Jet Tern anticipates that the 86 Ocean Explorer will appeal to existing Selene owners who have expressed interest in a larger Selene model with more of a luxury yacht feel. The Selene 86 Ocean Explorer is designed to carry 15,000 litres of fuel and cruise comfortably at 10 knots with a top speed of 13 knots. Tank tests are under way and Jet Tern describes the boat as very fuel efficient for her class. Standard power will be supplied by twin Cummins 610hp engines and sophisticated fuel polishing and fuel monitoring systems are also standard features. Molds for the Selene 86 are under construction and hull number one is expected to launch in time to debut at the fall of 2011.
