Project: Henriques 50 Express HT

Based on the hull shape of the recently launched Henriques 50 Flybridge, this New Jersey boat builder is fast to capitalize and present a project for an Express HT model. This new Henriques follows the concept of the year ago launched 42 HT with a nice stylish integrated three piece hard top wrap around wind screen covering half of the cockpit. The standard interior layout of the 50 Express HT will offer two cabins; owners room to fore, twin bunk berth cabin to starboard, shower head, and an L-shaped galley and L-shape dinette looking opposite each other to starboard. The cockpit as any decent sport-fisherman will be a free aft deck, and the raised controlling area offering three forward looking drive and co-pilot settees with central helm station, and a large L-passenger settee behind. No power has yet been announced for the 50 Express HT and Henriques is usually quite conservative on its power and speed. As an example the 50 Flybridge is powered by twin Cat 1015hp and reaches 36 knots max. Imagine the 50 Express HT to be powered by similar units and be able to reach a knot or two more.

Project: Heesen 45m Project Necto YN 17145

Heesen Yachts is proud to announce that the first 45m fly bridge vessel YN 17145 Project Necto is sold to a yacht connoisseur with a true passion for Heesen core values: Aluminium, speed and power. This powerful sportster, the largest built by a Northern European shipyard, will be capable of thundering along at an impressive 30 knots thanks to her well-engineered all-aluminium semi-displacement hull and twin MTU engines. Speed and power combined with uncompromising luxury and comfort are the characteristics of this semi-displacement yacht that will have a range of 2750 nautical miles at 12 knots. Frank Laupman of Omega Architects has created the exterior lines of the yacht. True to form Laupman has interpreted the Dutch shipyard DNA with a touch of innovation by introducing the knuckle, a design element that interrupts the line of the raked bow and gives this new breed of Heesen its sharper and narrower bow a particularly aggressive look. The interior décor of YN 17145 is by acclaimed Italian designer Cristiano Gatto who is currently working on his third project with the Dutch shipyard. The Owners chose a contemporary yet cosy design for the interior of their 45m sportster. Warm Canaletto walnut is the main veneer, which perfectly complements the light tones of Loro Piana fabrics and the warm colours of the different finishes; pale blue soft furnishings give a relaxed and light feeling to the yacht’s interior. Ten guests will be accommodated in five cabins: The full beam master suite is located on the main deck, while the four guest cabins two twins and two doubles are on the lower deck.  The owners dedicated special attention to the outdoor areas of their new vessel; the ultra-spacious sundeck is particularly impressive. As an expansive 84-square meter area, completely free from fixed furniture, it is available for guests to carry out their morning exercise, yet another unusual and particularly remarkable design feature on a yacht of this size.  YN 17145 will be delivered to her Owners after intensive sea trials in the North Sea in January 2016.

On June 28th, 2014 ISA Yachts launched Forever One, a 54m full displacement custom motor yacht. With her reverse bow and vibrant red and white paintwork, this latest ISA is for sure a different yacht. This fully custom five deck yacht with an aluminum superstructure and an impressive steel hull with reverse bow is designed by Horacio Bozzo Design with an interior by Alessandro Massari/Studio Massari. ISA Yachts worked in very close cooperation with the naval architect, the sales broker Fernando Nicholson, the Captain/Owner’s representative Colin Skinner and the interior designer to build a yacht full of distinctive features which make it stand out of the crowd. The layout is quite unconventional and the challenge was to fit several features that make her unique: The Owner's deck is one of the peculiarities of such vessel with a private balcony - accessible from their stateroom - and a large aft deck terrace. Fold-able bulwarks on the main deck grant a spectacular view to the exterior. Noteworthy is the glass elevator that connects all decks, from the lower deck to the flybridge. She has a spectacular dining/relaxing salon located forward on the main deck where usually are located the owner's stateroom. A spacious beach club with large fold-able stern and side platforms ideal for water toys and tenders docking give also facilitated access to the water by automatic and gentle-angled submerged stairs. The main garage is located forward on main deck and will carry a 9m tender and a 5,5m crew tender. Two Caterpillars 1911hp engines will propel this motor yacht to a speed of 16 knots with a trans-pacific range. The exterior color scheme is composed of Dupont Snow White on hull and superstructure.

Project: Rio 38 Parana

Rio presents an  interesting sport cruiser project the 38 Parana, with the Italian boat builder continuing its recent trend of picking model names from its archives. Judging by the beam the 38 Parana is based on the hull of the 36 Art and Air models. None the less the super structure and lines as appear on the renderings so far present seem to give the 38 Parana more sweeping sports lines and total different looks. Equaling to a totally new model. The 38 Parana is offered with two options for the lower deck, a feature which sets its apart from most mainstream competition in this size. The choice here is two cabins; VIP to fore, and a full beam owners room amidships with own en-suite shower head, or a three cabin version and a smaller L-shaped dinette and saloon. Standard power is twin Volvo 300hp with stern drives propulsion.
