Project: Vanquish VQ58 Hardtop

The project of the all new Vanquish VQ58 series is being built for an owner who wishes to blend keynote elements from three of our driver’s boats. The starboard side garage arrangement of the VQ50 is combined with the successful features of the best-selling VQ54 in a hardtop version and the cool styling elements of the new VQ65 to create a stunning sport yacht that is sure to be an instant hit with Vanquish fans.  At the heart of the VQ58 concept is a flexible sport yacht that combines the best when it comes to speed, comfort and layout. The VQ58 can be offered in three different interior layouts; two large en-suite forward and midships cabins, dinette forward with two guest cabins at midships, or central tender garage and a dinette with forward double berth open plan layout.  There is also three layout for the main deck, with changes concentrated in the central part around the dinette and exterior galley wet-bar area. In developing the hardtop for the VQ58, Vanquish designed it in a way that would be equally suited for an open-top or T-top model in the future.  The Vanquish VQ58 Hardtop can be powered by standard Cummins 600hp with ZF Zeus pop propulsion, Volvo 725hp with IPS pod drives, and Man 1200hp with surface drives.  Speeds are estimated to go up to fifty knots with the large engine option.

Project: Heesen 80m Project Cosmos

Heesen announce the 80 meter Project Cosmos, a project which will feature exterior lines by Winch Design, and interiors appointed by the owners to Sinot Exclusive Yacht Design.  This is the third collaboration between Heesen and the award-winning Dutch studio Sinot. Previously, Sinot worked on the design of first in the 55m Fast Displacement Steel class, and the 70m FDHF multi-award-winning Galactica Super Nova, Heesen’s largest yacht launched to date.  At 80.07 meters, 1700 Gross Tons and with a top speed of 29 knots, Project Cosmos will be the world’s largest and fastest full-aluminium motor yacht with conventional propeller propulsion system.  The interior design for this exciting project is inspired by elements from nature. Natural mathematics, such as the Fibonacci sequence, form the basis for the interior architecture. Together with clear graphic lines the result is a clean architectural environment. Special, featured materials, such as back-lit onyx, straw marquetry and crystal glass panels are framed within the architectural lines to emphasize the beauty of these materials.  Custom design furniture elements constructed from glass, marble, metal, and various types of wood add the finishing touches to the interior decor.  Project Cosmos, with exterior lines penned by Winch Design, is due for delivery in April 2022.

New Model: Portofino 38 Fly

For 2018 Portofino Marine present the new 38 Fly an evolution of the popular and long standing since 2004 produced 37 Fly.  Considering the long production of the 37, the update is well deserved, and with these super structure design changes, the new 38 Fly takes nothing away from the traditional looking flybridge motor cruiser.  The new Portofino 38 Fly design changes actually add more to a fine mix of tradition and modernity, and I sincerely hope that the updates follow in the other Portofino models.  As all Portofino models the new 38 Fly still sticks to its roots with the solid wooden toe rail, and safe three inch deep bulwarks adding a feel not only of uniqueness and quality but that of a solid looking motor cruiser. The Portofino 38 Fly interior as usual is presented full of wood finish, and offers a layout of a two cabins lower deck; owners cabin forward and guest twin to starboard, and a saloon and galley main deck.  The Portofino 38 Fly is powered by four engines choices two from Volvo, Yanmar and FPT from 330hp up to 400hp.

New Model: Baltic M78

Baltic launch the M78 a fuly custom 23 meter semi-planing explorer yacht designed by German Mani Frers and conceived for offshore cruising, combining stunning interior and exterior styling with highly sophisticated hull design which should provide her owners with a comfortable ride at sea and a luxurious living platform at rest.  Mani Frers naval architecture, in the Baltic M78 makes the interesting observation that the speed achieved by large sailing yachts now matches those of motor yachts, much can be learned from the two disciplines to produce highly efficient hull forms.  Frers has also studied recent commercial ship research, which aims to make vessels as efficient as possible. This has led to the motion of the M78 less aggressive, which in turn has the unexpected effect of reducing motion sickness. M78 stability is further enhanced by two Seakeeper gyro stabilizers, all this, linked with the light, stiff hull and deck shell result in an outstanding yacht.  Baltic M78 narrow beam is fundamental to the yacht’s easily driven and sea-kindly hull. She’s powered by twin Volvo diesels 625hp driving through IPS dual propeller pod drives for further efficiency.  A lot has been worked into her accommodation including a stern garage for a tender and a well-equipped galley featuring a dumb waiter leading to the deck saloon. The yacht features striking photographic studies and specialist stucco paneling putting it in a class of her own.  Key features on M78 deck include a remarkable reflective glass deck superstructure housing the wheelhouse and deck saloon, deep bulwarks providing great protection and an all-round walkway and custom stainless steel work including unique 3D printed stainless steel push-pit and pulpit design which enhances the yacht’s contemporary look.  M78 is an advanced explorer yacht which will set the standard for further projects in this field from Baltic Yachts.

Project: Benetti Diamond 145

Benetti present the Diamond 145 project, a 44-meter displacement super yacht that draws on the core features of the Displacement Class line history.  Expert owners will be struck by a yacht that can be an integral part of their finest moments with unparalleled style, comfort and safety.  The elegant design suggests the proportions and details that convey a feeling of sturdiness and power. The discreet but tangible sense of refinement will strike a chord with owners who love to combine glamour with credible practicality.  The seamless design of the huge glazed surfaces accentuates the length of the yacht and its brightly-lit interiors. The exterior styling, which stands out for its remarkable continuity of lines and surfaces, is the work of Giorgio M. Cassetta.  The interior design by Achille Salvagni is based on roomy, welcoming settings, where the choice of light color shades underscores the wealth of natural light. Access to the main deck is by two wide stairways in the stern, which are also one of the yacht’s architectural highlights. The main cockpit welcomes guests in a wide and bright setting, and leads seamlessly to the immense, fully glazed main lounge. The full-beam master cabin in the bow has a roomy wardrobe, a full-beam bathroom and a study or office. The galley and service areas are laid out to make best use of the space available, in such a way as to provide high level service on board, without encroaching on guests’ privacy.  The upper deck features a big outdoor area in the stern with access to the lounge, which is dominated by extensive glazed surfaces that cover 80% of the perimeter. The extremely spacious piloting area is positioned next to the captain’s cabin for perfect visibility. The bow area covers seventy square meters and features a remarkable custom spa pool.  The sun deck, over 115 square meters of outdoor space and can be furnished according to the owner’s tastes. All life rafts and all functional features are hidden or integrated in the design to avoid contaminating the purity of the yacht’s contours.  The night area for guests is on the lower deck and is made up of four double cabins, with the option of a fifth on the upper deck. The crew quarters and laundry are fit in the bow area.  The beach area and beach club can be fully customised and can be enjoyed both at sea and at anchor. The two 1400hp Man engines will drive the Benetti Diamond 145 to a top speed of 15 knots and at a cruise of eleven knots the super yacht will have a range of 3,800 nautical miles.

But things seem to be getting interesting again for Bugari with ownership and management changes in 2014 presenting a new three model line up of semi-custom motor and super yachts from 77 to 100 feet designed by Filippo Salvetti, who looks to be the new Italian designer to watch of 2018 and beyond.  Bugari has started this new line up with the launch of the new F86, a two deck and half semi wide body super yacht with a modern profile, and an owners stateroom on the main deck.  The lower deck of the F86 will be offered in three options of three or four guest cabins. A crew lobby with two cabins sleeping four is located at midships in between the engine room and the guest cabin area.  The Bugari F86 competes with the the likes of the Azimut Grande 27 Metri for a sub 28 meter semi wide body super yacht with owners stateroom on the main cabin, and three or four cabins on the lower deck.  The Bugari F86 is powered by twin Man 1900hp engines which will allow speeds up to thirty knots.
