Project: CRN 70m hull. 139

CRN is pleased to announce a new milestone with the sale of a fresh, fully custom seventy meter steel and aluminium yacht, hull number 139.  The new project has been developed by the CRN technical office working closely with Italian architecture and design studio Vallicelli. Architects Andrea Vallicelli and Alessandro Nazareth created the concept, the external lines, and the interior layout with passion.  The super yacht, equipped with both functional and design features, effectively achieves a sophisticated overall balance while offering generous indoor and outdoor spaces for the owner’s family to enjoy. The superstructure’s succinct style is emphasized by the flowing lines that lend the design an original, elegant aesthetic.  CRN is currently constructing three pleasure vessels at its Ancona hub: the 79-metre 135 and 62-metre 137, slated for delivery in 2019, plus the 62-metre 138.

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.

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.

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.
