Project: Ferretti 670

Ferretti Yachts 670 project is the gift the renowned yacht builder is giving to itself, to celebrate 2018 the fifty anniversary year for the Italian Forli marquee.  The Ferretti 670 project is the fruit of the partnership between the Ferretti Group Product Strategy Committee and the Engineering department. She is also the first Ferretti yacht with external design by Ferretti Group and architect Filippo Salvetti, while the interiors were created by the Group’s own architects and designers. This breaks the pattern which started in 1990 with Giovanni Zuccon who since then designed all Ferretti Yacht models.  The Ferretti 670 entered production this month in January 2018 and is the natural heiress and replacement to the 650. A model of smart evolution, she combines some of the features from the 2016 and 2017 boats; 450, 780, 850 and 920 with some major innovations of her own. As a striking example, the excellent use of space, inside and out, assures the owner and their guests a perfect blend of conviviality and privacy. The Ferretti Yachts 670 features amenities typically found on larger vessels as you can see from the layout: the standard version offers three generous cabins on the lower deck. The 670 also offers option for a four double cabins version, and a choice for a laundry in replacement of the fourth cabin or the owners office.  Contrary to the tradition of Ferretti especially in these sizes, the Ferretti 670 will have a modest standard engine set up with twin Man 1000hp giving 28 knots max speed.  An alternative engine option will be for twin Man 1200hp which increase top speed plus four units meaning a top speed of 32 knots.

Project: Heysea 115 Atlantic

An interesting project involving two different shipyards in different parts of the world has taken off. The Atlantic 115 has started construction on speculation but has since then found an owner. This yacht is the result of a collaboration between Chinese yard Heysea Yachts and Atlantic Yacht and Ship. The yacht is under construction in China in Jiangmen and is being built in fiberglass. The yacht will end up having accommodation for ten to twelve guests. The owner will have a large master suite up front on the main forward deck. The master suite appears to have a huge skylight sure to add extra dimension and a wealth of natural light to the space when in use. Four guest suites are located on the lower deck for the owner's guests. There is a beach club on the aft lower deck for guests to utilize and be a lot closer to the water. The sundeck will also be another popular area for guests and with the vessel being built to MCA and RINA standards, the charter option is available. Dual Cat at 1950hp are on board to power this vessel up to a 24 knots top speed. Heysea 115 Atlantic can give a decent 2000 nautical mile range at a brisk 20 knots cruise and this can be increase if lower speeds are used.

Project: Canados 822 Gladiator

Another design from Rome designer Marco Casali for Canados, the conceptual idea of the 822 Gladiator took the yard technical office months of work, calculations and researches.  The aim was to create a versatile super sport yacht.  This 24 plus meter super sport yacht is available in four different engine packages allowing her to top, depending on the chosen power package, from 34 up to 60 knots while offering unparalleled comfort.  The tender garage door has been designed and structurally calculated to offer a built-in lounge on the water. When on the aft deck, your guest will be blown away by the available space and social areas almost twice what the competition offers.  The luxury feeling is strengthened by the total absence of visible deck hardware as cleats and winches are hidden in their own compartments. Even the Seabobs are hidden in side garages.  The saloon glass door is divided in three panels. To port, the vertical panel slides down to transform the area into an outdoor bar while the two vertical panels slide to starboard.  Like on every Canados build yacht, there is a suggested layout, but the end choice is yours as everything is custom built in-house. The standard offering for the main deck comes in two versions with either two side gigantic sofas or with two sofas on starboard and a dining area with loose seats. In both cases, the crew tasks will be conducted without interference with guests as access to the galley, crew quarters and engine room is hidden behind the bar.  Further to the front, the helm station with its pantograph side door opens to the side deck while on the opposite, a dinette with a lounge seat have been integrated for the run-it-yourself kind of owners, so they can be at the helm while socializing with family and friends.  One of the signature and uniqueness of the 822 Gladiator is the laminated glass windshield made of three panels. The central panel opens up allowing guests to access the fore-deck and its integrated sun pad and dinettes.With this feature, when at anchor, you can open up the windshield and enjoy a natural flow of breeze inside the main deck.  Down below, the Gladiator 822 is available in various different layouts with three or four cabins.  In both cases, the master suite enjoys an unseen before comfort with a full beam configuration.  Marco Casali will design any specific interior layout and decoration, or the Canados design team can work with any interior designer of your choice. In  any case, the Gladiator 822 interiors will be delivered according to your tastes and requirements.  For the most family oriented owners, the boat will be powered by twin Man 1550hp or twin Man 1800hp coupled to V-Drive offering a cruising speed of 28 knots and 31 knots while the top speed will be 34 knots or an easy 38 knots.  For those willing to travel fast, the twin 1900hp Man with Top Systems surface drives will allow to reach 38 knots cruising speed and 44 knots top.  For the most speed addicted the Canados 822 Gladiator is also offered in a triple engine configuration with hull and deck entirely made of Kevlar/Aramat with carbon fiber reinforcements that will allow for a top speed flirting with the 60 knot mark.

New Model: Botnia Targa 46

In February 2016, a Swedish Targa 44 owner told the Finnish company that he would be interested in a new slightly larger than the present largest boat model, and at least to start with, it had to be something that no-one else had. An agreement about a Targa 46 Custom in time for delivery in the spring 2017 was made. At that stage we didn’t know if this would be a one-off boat or a model that we later would offer also to other customers. The boat was produced during the autumn 2016 and was successfully delivered to the new owner in Vasa in June 2017.  During the building stages of the Targa 46 Number one and during the season 2016-2017, there was a lot of interest in this boat. The decision was therefore soon made: to launch the new Targa 46 model as a new addition to the Botnia fleet!  In short, the new Targa 46 can be described as an extended version of the popular 44. The Targa 46 hull is 75 cm longer than the Targa 44 hull, giving the boat a total length of over fifteen meters and a hull length just short of fourteen meters.  In order to be able to customize the boat for the customers specific needs, the Targa 46 is offered with three different pilothouse lengths: standard 44 model pilothouse, T44 plus 40 cm pilothouse, and T44 plus 75 cm pilothouse as the picture above shows. This gives the customer the possibility to choose between a really large aft deck, or a really large pilothouse or a proportional compromise between aft deck and pilothouse as in the 40 cm version.

Project: Wim Van Der Valk 660 Beachclub Flybridge

Wim Van der Valk Shipyard in the Netherlands has started construction on a new 660 Beachclub Flybridge model.  A 20.50 meter motor yacht in its revolutionary BeachClub range, this new model is all about an ingenious engine room layout, which give this superb series the unnecessary conflict between indoor and outdoor space which has traditionally been the hallmark of yachts in this size range. The first Van der Valk 600 Beachclub, model will already be delivered in Spring 2018.  The new BeachClub line is a fine illustration of the intrepid spirit and dedication to excellence that have propelled the yard to the position it occupies today. A labour by Wim Van der Valk and its partners, the series ranges from nineteen to thirty meters incorporates interior and exterior design by Cor D. Rover and outstanding naval architecture by Ginton Naval Architects.  The secret to the success of the Wim Van Der Valk Beachclub for which a patent is now pending, is in the clever location of the engine room. By using the integrated Volvo Penta IPS propulsion system, the engine room is literally placed within the swimming platform, creating a tremendous amount of uninterrupted space on the lower deck.  The outdoor areas on the BeachClub 660 Flybridge will consist of three major spaces: a beach deck with sun lounge measuring seventeen squared meters, an aft deck of equal size with possibility for an outside helm, and a huge 25 squared meters fore-deck with a range of layout options. Indoors, the yacht will boast a 21 squared meters main deck salon with wheelhouse and all-round panoramic views, a 27 squared meters lower deck salon with galley and dinette, and a whopping 44 squared meters floor space for the accommodations. In addition to the luxurious owners suite, the BeachClub 660 Flybridge will feature two twin guest cabins and an optional crew cabin. Built entirely in aluminium, a modern, sporty look with a moderate-V hard-chine hull will offer an elegant and graceful profile. Twin Volvo 800hp engines with IPS type pod propulsion it will provide an estimated top speed of 24 knots. To ensure stunning views from as many places as possible on board, the yacht will have oversized glass surfaces and large sliding doors in the two salons and the owners suite.
