Project: Outer Reef 720 Trident

Having launched its first Trident model with the 620 in 2016, Outer Reef is working to expand the range which is receiving a lot of interest from its customer base. The Outer Reef 720 Trident project is a proof of this direction and follows the 620 as the second model in the range.  Just as the smaller 620 the 720 will feature a semi displacement hull which will be powered by standard twin Cat 641hp engines with line shaft propulsion.  Standard interior layout will offer a four double cabin arrangement, with a living kitchen dining area on the main deck.  A crew cabin with lobby, utility room, and work bench is located to midships in between the engine room and owners midships stateroom.   Outer Reef is offering two layouts for the 720 Trident which modify the main deck layout with choice for an astern galley or a central one, and change a bit the flybridge due to the different location of the internal stair case in the saloon moved from port to starboard.

New Model: Sealine F530

It's been a steady expanding range from Sealine since Hanse Group took over the name in 2013 and moved production to Germany and started to build it again from scratch.

Project: Viking 93 Motor Yacht

It was 2013 when Viking decided to return into building motor yachts, and a year later to this in the fall of 2014 the first hull was launched, and today the 75 Motor Yacht is a success, with the range getting an order for a new 82 in the second part of 2016.  Come end of 2016 though more positive news comes into Viking way for its Motor Yacht range with an order for a completely new 93 set to launch in mid Summer 2017.  The 93 Motor Yacht will take the title as Viking flagship, from the successful 92 Sportfish which has delivered in ten units in a year and a half production period. For 2017 Viking has an order book to deliver seventeen super yachts over 24 meters.  So far we have very little details of the 93 Motor Yacht regarding accommodation layout, what is sure is that it will be a typical American three deck hull with an enclosed bridge up top.

Project: Baglietto 41m V-Line

Following the great success of its latest 46m Fast and 54m yachts and the signature of a sales agreement for the first MV19, Baglietto continues to strengthen its brand on different markets by also developing new products, result of the interpretation and specific requirements and wishes of owners. Here enters the Santa Maria Mandolfi designed 41m V-Line project with sober and essential lines characterizing this elegant, sophisticated super yacht, whose sheer line, running uninterruptedly from bow to stern, results in even more streamlined volumes and harmonious profiles. The exteriors can boast huge common areas, totaling more than 300 sqm divided over the yacht’s three decks. The sundeck is approximately 60 sqm wide. On the upper deck, moving forward from the helm station, a large C-shaped sofa overlooks the spacious sunbathing area with a pool, creating a wonderful day area that allows to enjoy life in the open air and take in spectacular views. The interiors are wide, open, with large, often full-height, glazed surfaces. In particular, the main deck salon has been designed by conceiving the dining area as the ‘center of gravity’ between the interiors and the outdoor areas, and allowing to use it both as a traditional indoor dining room and, once the glazing dividing the salon from the cockpit is entirely opened, as a deck that opens onto the outside. In this way, the living room has been moved forward, exploiting the available width to the fullest. Hull engineering on all projects has been carried out by Baglietto Engineering Department. The 41m V-Line yacht is under 500 tons and will be equipped with two Cat engines that will push her to a maximum speed of 15 knots and a cruise of 11 knots.
