Below the sleep accommodation of the  Leader 46 offers a choice of two or three double cabins layout, including a full beam midships owner’s suite.  Main guest cabin is located to forward and features a shared private head.  A third bunk guest cabin is available as option to port side, and replaces an L-shaped dinette.  Power starts with standard Volvo 370hp and stern drive propulsion, and goes up to 400hp units with stern drive or 435hp with IPS pod drives.

New Model: Moonen 29.90 meter Caribbean Matica

The Moonen 29.90 meter Caribbean Matica is a raised pilot house twin-screw, two-and-a-half deck displacement super yacht. The owners stateroom is situated at main deck, together with the saloon, dining, bar, and galley. Three spacious guest cabins and the crew area for five crew in three cabins are situated at lower deck. To aft is a tender bay with a launching sledge. The round bilge of this fast displacement hull makes the 29.90 meter Caribbean Matica seaworthy and gives her a very economical fuel consumption and long range at lower speeds. Together with the low noise and vibration levels this well-equipped yacht gives great comfort and luxury. Moonen will build and fit out the yacht in accordance with their usual high quality standards and deliver it to the principal, after extensive sea trials, in a ready-to-operate condition. Matica is named after an island in the Caribbean, reflecting the fact that this beautiful yacht is likely to spend much of her time in warm and exotic climates. At just below the 200 Gross Tonnage mark with the maximum volume possible, Matica offers you a wide range of benefits.  Her hull is based on the well-proven Moonen 97 design, ensuring very comfortable sea-keeping behavior and low fuel consumption. Her steeper bow gives a narrower waterline entrance and a longer waterline, further increasing comfort at sea and fuel economy. The limited draft and well protected propellers make Matica ideal for shallow waters.

New Model: Mondomarine M50 C22-04

Mondomarine presents the launch of project C22-04, a fifty meter semi displacement super yacht has delivery number 64 for the Savona based Italian shipyard. Mondomarine M50 C22-04 is a design from Milan based Hot Lab studio who designed the exterior, with the interior managed by Interforce Inc from Fort Lauderdale USA. With an overall length of 49 meters and a beam of nine, build with light alloy for both hull and superstructure, M50 features three decks and a spacious sundeck. The innovative look of this project follows Mondomarine’s traditional styling and heritage adding design solutions that gives to the yacht’s profile a flowing and appealing line enriched by the magnificent color combinations attributed by the owner. Her most eye-catching feature is the steep rake of the stern, which generates a forward visual thrust for the superstructure and creates a play of open and filled spaces, allowing natural light to bathe the main deck interiors. The full-height windows running most of the length of the main deck create exciting, light-filled interior spaces that allow a constant dialogue with the exterior. Access to the yacht is along the central walkway separating the two large sun-pads which leads to the aft cockpit, offering a large sun area and lounge with spacious sofas evoking the generous spaces typical of an open design. The fold-down beach area is uniquely large for a super yacht of this size and conceals the access stairway and forms a striking yet warmly welcoming area. This stylistic solution creates an extended visual sweep that acts as a conceptual reflection of the classic external lines. Automobile-style details that are a typical feature of Hot Lab’s work include the design of the aft fair-leads. The starboard garage hosts a large tender. Twelve guests will be accommodated in four guest cabins and one Owner’s stateroom. The style of the interiors is fully classical, which contains countless elements of the purest architectural tradition, columns, pilasters and carved lintels, friezes and bas-reliefs, from the Italian, English and French manufacturing tradition. Twelve different type of marbles are found on-board, onyx, mahogany, brier and a large quantity and variety of tissues: 37 different motifs decorate the 5 cabins, the two lounges and other public and private areas, creating a decorative richness of precious and rare color impact. As all Mondomarine‘s construction structural, hydrodynamic and technical design for M50 C22-06 was handled by the Savona builder engineering team, who for this vessel went for a semi displacement hull shape which offer max speeds of twenty knots from twin MTU 2185hp engines.

Saying all this, the Bertram name return has had the desired impact, with nine units sold on plan and prior to launch for the Micheal Peters and Marty A.Lowe designed 35 model.  It is still early days for Gavio's Group Bertram, owners of the US legend since the start of 2015 but this long term project looks all set up in the right direction. The challenge is now for all to see as the first 35 heads to various boat shows, and then after this in the hands of owners, who will be the ultimate real judges of Bertram's new chapter and whether it can reach or exceed the level bar which comes with the legendary name.
