New Launch: Benetti 56 meter FB267

Italian classicism this is Benetti latest fully custom 56 metre super yacht which strikes immediately your attention thanks to its instantly striking profile. The aesthetic impact of the exteriors is the direct result of the boat owner's functional requirements. Unlike most Benetti yachts of this size, the stern areas of the main and upper decks are not open. Instead, they are glazed with large windows that hide the main deck living area and the upper deck, this featuring a gym adjacent to the boat owner suite. The interiors are classic Italian. The layout includes seven guest cabins plus the boat owner suite. The atmosphere is warm without being heavy, with wood contrasting with white carpet and marble, for an intimate and relaxing environment. Foremost among the materials is the elm root paneling with mahogany, walnut, and rosewood detailing. One of the yacht's hallmarks is the "precious" period furniture requested by the boat owner, each piece with its own history and a celebration of Italian craftsmanship. Performance is assured with two MTU 1796hp engines, for a range of 5,000 nautical miles at a fuel economy speed of 12 knots.

New Model: Fairline 38 Targa Shadow-S

This Fairline new model the 38 Targa Shadow-S could have been part of the Improve-it section in PowerYacht since this model is in short words a 38 Targa Open with a dark grey color, orange cushions, and more high quality materials inside. But since Fairline labels the Shadow-S as a new model we follow this decision. A lot of critics where born from the Shadow-S on the British forums, since the expectations of a new model and direction by Fairline always arise big talk between fans and people interested in the brand. To be fair to Fairline we have seen other builders doing much or less the same, since is not the first time we see builders changing a model name for the addition of a larger bathing platform, or a window profile change.  As they say in marketing the important is the talk on a brand, and surely with the 38 Targa Shadow-S Fairline managed that. At this point it will be interesting to see if Fairline will decide to introduce more high profile Shadow-S models of the other bigger Targas.
