Marex presents the new 373 Aft Cabin Cruiser, a development of its 2009 launched 370 with the changes coming mostly in the window profile. Indeed the new 373 revisits all windows with the top main deck window from the super structure removed, and large hull side windows added to both the fore and aft cabin areas. For the remaining the Marex 373 Aft Cabin Cruiser keeps the unique formula of the 370 for an elegant looking hard top sport cruiser, with a unique highly efficient single engine installation.

The new 28 to 29 meter Raised Pilot House Super Yacht was created by Sanlorenzo in 2011, when it replaced the long standing good selling SL88 with the SL94. Just as the 88, the SL94 was also a raised pilot house yacht, but had an important different layout which the previous model did not offer, for a main deck with fore ship owners stateroom. The SL94 had also the advantage which similar type and size yachts above 28 meter did not have in 2011, and that was a hull size or load line length 23.9 meters or under. Meaning it can be helmed by owners or captains with a standard yacht master licence. This gave the SL94 two features unheard in this size; owners room on the main deck which used to be found in yachts a couple meters bigger, and a hull size which legally classifies as a smaller yacht.
PRESENT
The Sanlorenzo SL94 was an important change and other builders reacted to this. In the fall of 2012 Ferretti presented the project for the 960, a new flagship for the Yachts range launching in the first half of 2013. Amer came following in 2013 with the semi wide body Cento measuring just above 29 meters. Always in high attention Azimut followed with the new Grande 95RPH which launched in early 2014. Seeing all this competition in 2014 Sanlorenzo tweaked its SL94, and developed it into the SL96 with some important modernization details, see large sized cabin windows below, and opening optional balconies on the main deck. The last to join the pack is the British Sunseeker who in 2015 presented the project for its new raised pilot house 95 Yacht which the Poole based builder launched in the second quarter of 2016.
Upcoming is the Summer 2016 presented project by Canados with the 969 Coliseum, set to launch in 2017. The Canados will be an interesting challenge to all builders listed here, with Sanlorenzo being the traditional competitor, as both builders are a representation of hand build made in Italy semi-custom yachts since the 1970's. FUTURE
It is a growing new class with some important super yacht builders creating an interesting choice to buyers looking for a raised pilot house pocket super yacht of 28 to 29 meters overall with a hull or load line length less to 23.9 meters and an owners stateroom on the main deck. Who is next in this class is all speculative, but expect something to come from Montecarlo Yachts, Princess, and Fipa Maiora. I would say the next new challenge in this size coming from Montecarlo Yachts who would not surprise me to have something ready for 2017 as the company has an empty spot between its large 105 and 86 models. The Yachts Specifications, speed and range data as supplied by boat builders. Prices are at factory, no Taxes or VAT, standard engines and equipment, dated 10/2016.
