Project: Fiart P48

Fiart Patrovich collaboration enters the second chapter, and present the P48 project set to launch in 2024.  With the smaller fourteen meter P48 designer Patrovich follows what he did with the sixteen meter P54 which debuted in 2022, for a fore to deck sport cruiser with a large central T-Top covering the main living deck area, and two fore and aft sunbathing zones.  The Fiart Patrovich series are near unbeatable for exterior spaces, offering fore to aft spaces, in a wide-body cockpit format which also thanks to a higher freeboard does not sacrifice interior cabin spaces. Differences between the larger P54 and P48 are at the stern, with the P48 offering a fixed bathing platform with optional transformer, unlike the flip platform which when closed closes the stern as in the larger sixteen meter. The Fiart P48 as to what we know is to offer a standard two cabins layout, with a VIP suite to fore and a master room at midships.  Fiart has not communicated power options for the P48, but expect Volvo power with IPS pod propulsion.

Project: Ferretti Custom Line Navetta 38

During the Monaco yacht show, Ferretti Group presented the project for the new Custom Line Navetta 38.  A replacement for the Navetta 37 which debuted in 2016 and has sold in fifteen units, the Custom Line Navetta 38 is the latest made-to-measure yacht in the brand’s displacement line, with the first unit under construction at the Ferretti Group Superyacht Yard in Ancona, for a 2024 launch. The Ferretti Custom Line Navetta 38 will featured a volume displacement under 300 GT, and comes from a design of Filippo Salvetti for exterior and interior by ACPV Architects of Antonio Citterio Patricia Viel, with the Piero Ferrari led Ferretti Group Engineering Department managing the naval architecture and product development. Extraordinary combinations of elegance and liveability, timeless classicism and harmony with the marine environment, direct contact with the sea and seamless continuity between interiors and exteriors are the features that present the Custom Line Navetta 38. This superyacht was in fact designed to maximise the usage of all available space on the four decks, with a large master suite of over forty squared meters on the main deck and completely separated crew and guest flows to ensure maximum privacy. The stern area is an innovative feature on board Custom Line Navetta 38 and a completely new take on the full-beam beach deck concept. The beach club and main deck cockpit, together covering over 70 squared meters are totally open and furnished with a system of freestanding modular units, thus creating a more extensive, generous and multi-functional area at the water’s edge that embodies the flush deck concept. The new beach club is a versatile space with the sea-facing couch enjoying  panoramic views, while the spacious swim platform provides direct access to the water which extends with two opening gunwales to extend the space. The beach club’s rational and functional layout means that this space is extremely practical and easy to use, a further accent on the concept of continuity and openness between yacht and open sea is the all-glass construction of the parapets in the main deck cockpit and the forward part of the sundeck. With a total surface area of 70 square metres and 15 metres in length, the extended sun deck becomes an extraordinary space in which to socialise and relax, complete with a spectacular sea-view jacuzzi aft with sun cushions, a sun lounge area forward and an open-air dining area under the shelter of a painted hard top. The entire area is surrounded by expansive glazing that offers a magnificent 180-degree view. The exteriors are characterised by a timelessly classic design language that features simple, harmonious lines expressing absolute luxury with elegance and refinement.  The key word for the Custom Line Navetta 38 is flexibility designed to enhance the experience offered by its interior spaces. The interior design is focused on maximum use of space through optimum control of all the volumes and functional exploitation of the entire available surface area. Another strong focus was on natural light, with extensive full-height windows creating powerful continuity between external and internal spaces and a feeling of harmony with the marine environment. The interior design is developed around a concept based on refined detailing and the use of fine materials with natural textures, including various types of leather and also linen and parchment, chosen both for the finishing's and the upholstery and coverings. The custom-designed furnishings are skilfully handcrafted by the shipyard’s expert personnel, a triumph of style made possible by the collaboration with ACPV Antonio Citterio Patricia Viel, who have revisited the stylistic features of maritime tradition, from the concept to the colour palette through a contemporary lens, highlighting the union between the yacht and the furnishings, the later custom designed and made to measure from natural leather and wood using sophisticated handcrafting techniques. The two architects has created an exclusive décor solutions based on two different moods: the more contemporary “cold mood” that plays with the cool hues of sky and navy blue, and the more classic and timeless “warm mood”, which features a warmer and cosier palette. Underscoring the possibility for owners to customise the yacht’s interiors, one of the brand’s signature features, the first Custom Line Navetta 38 will have a more neutral mood that further emphasises the bond with nature through natural, muted and neutral colours such as beige and ivory. In addition to the master suite, Custom Line Navetta 38 has four guest cabins on the lower deck, accommodating a total of ten people and seven crew members in four cabins, including the captain. Ideal for covering long distances with low fuel consumption and to enjoy category- beating performance, the  Custom Line Navetta 38 is standard powered by twin Man 1400hp for a top speed up to fifteen knots, with a range of about 2,800 nautical miles at an economy cruising speed of ten knots. Custom Live Navetta is also be Selective Catalytic Reduction ready and installing the system brings a 70% reduction in NOx emissions and IMO3 compatible.

Super Yacht Burns at Fort Lauderdale Yacht Haven Marina

A 28 meter super yacht titled m/y Self Made burned in flames while berthed in Yacht Haven Marina, near West State Road 84, in Fort Lauderdale, Florida on about 22:30 hours of Thursday twelfth October.  Broward Sheriff Fire Rescue and Fire Fighters responded to the blaze which engulfed Self Made, with the flames controlled in about two hours.  After the fire the 28 meter yacht had over half of its main deck and flybridge badly burned down by the fire.  The yacht was reported unattended at the time of the fire, with no injuries and damage to other vessels being reported.  

Motor Yacht Self Made previously named Janet is a Cheoy Lee 92 model delivered in 1999, and last refitted in 2015.  Designed by Tom Fexas the Cheoy Lee 92 debuted in 1988 as an evolution of the 90, and in 1999 received a new super structure design and was produced till 2004 in a total of ten units.  The 92 was replaced by the Burvenich design Cheoy Lee 95 in 2005.

New Model: Sanlorenzo SX100

Inside the Sanlorenzo SX100 offers a four double cabins arrangement, with an owners stateroom located on the forward part of the main deck.  There is also an option where the low level saloon can be specified as a master stateroom with direct connection to the beach club area.  Probably with this option one can also specify five cabins in the SX100 if one had to also opt the fore deck suite.  The Sanlorenzo SX100 is powered by quadruple Volvo 800hp with IPS pod drives for top speeds up to 23 knots, a cruise of twenty, and a ten knots long range which give a 1600 nautical miles range.
