New Model: Mazu 62

The new Mazu 62 completes the line-up of six luxury open and hard-top models offered by the Turkish brand. The first, the Mazu 38, was launched in 2017 and was followed up by the 42, 52, 82 and now the 62. The flagship model, the Mazu 92DS, is currently in build. With her sporty lines and military-style paintwork, the Mazu 62 is ideal for overnight or weekend trips, or as a chase boat for superyachts. She also highlights the trademark design features of the Mazu range with large hull windows, expansive deck space and a very spacious interior layout. The Mazu 62 actually started as a 58-footer but was increased in size to provide more deck area and interior volume for higher comfort. The main deck layout, for example, features four distinct but connected and convivial open-air areas: a foredeck lounge with forward-facing bench seat and two hi-lo tables that can be lowered and fitted with in-fill cushions to increase the size of the sun-pads; a central helm station with dinette and three wrap-around seating and bar unit under the shade of the hardtop; an aft cockpit furnished with comfy sofas and low tables with an alternative choice here to carry a tender and toys; and an ample swim platform for easy access to the sea. Hull one of the Mazu 62 features a three double cabins three heads layout. Other interior amenities include a roomy dinette and galley, an extra day-head for guests and even a two-man crew cabin behind the engine compartment. The Mazu 62 is powered by twin Volvo 725hp, or optional 1000hp with IPS pod propulsion.  Hull one was fitted with the large option and reached top speeds up to 43 knots and a cruise of 33 knots. The Mazu 62 uses a signature epoxy resin carbon-composite sandwich construction for maximum rigidity and strength.

Improve-it = Cheoy Lee CLB88

Cheoy Lee presents an improved CLB88, the 27 meter super yacht flagship of the B seriies and designed by world-renowned Milan-based Jozeph Forakis. The CLB88 has already won a Good Design Award from the Chicago Athenaeum Museum of Architecture and Design. What’s more, it was also a finalist for Boat International’s Design and Innovation Awards in 2021. A deeper colour scheme characterises the first interior package. The palette, which features teak and walnut, gives the interior a real sense of gravitas and masculinity. However, Cheoy Lee realised that some may prefer a lighter touch and Forakis envisioned a second palette made up of soft greys and fair oaks. Such a palette plays well with the natural light welcomed on board through CLB88’s expansive windows. The overall effect is an inviting, bright and modern feeling, like the faint recall of a summer beach holiday. Forakis is also excited about other new developments on the super yacht. Think integrated carpeting in the after section of the salon and an abundant use of Corian. Fenix, a new matte laminate that utilises high tech nanotechnology, will also feature.

New Model: Tecnomar For Lamborghini 63

Announced as a project in 2020 the Tecnomar For Lamborghini 63 is a fast sport yacht of twenty meters designed by the Sant' Agatha famed auto manufacturer for the exterior and Brunello Acampora for the hull, which touched the water in Summer of 2021 to much acclaim. It is not the first time though Lamborghini looked to boating as in 1983 in order to make a name in selling engines for racing powerboats in the Class One category it opened its marine division, which launched an eleven meter aluminium prototype designed by Aldo Cichero and build by Baglietto.  This prototype raced and competed in Class One, powered by twin 720hp Lambo engines and had top speeds up to eighty knots, and was then made into a production unit in 1984 build of Kevlar and Carbon Fibre by Axxes Quetzal and powered by twin 550hp or 720hp Lamborghini engines.  Including the aluminium prototype only two units are reported to have been made, with the fiberglass version being powered by smaller twin 550hp Lamborghini engines which gave her a 65 knots top speed. But the marine division remained open till 2008 selling engines mostly to Class One competing powerboats.  For those into history there was also the custom one off Riva Aquarama Lamborghini build for Ferrucio himself which launched in 1969, modified and extended in engine space to fit the twin 400hp Lamborghini engines.  The Tecnomar For Lamborghini 63 wants to be more of a production unit, with a limited run of 63 units, not little in these sizes even for a good selling commercial brand with price sensitivity in mind.  The Lamborghini 63 is offered in three lower deck versions; open lounge, single cabin, or two cabins, and is powered by twin Man 2000hp with fixed surface drives which make her reach a top speed up to sixty knots and a cruise of forty, while an economic thirty knots will make you consume only ten litres per nautical mile.

New Launch: Feadship 54.90m Hull. 708
