The impressive 50-meter Project Triton superyacht created by the Heesen yard has been launched.

She is the second yacht built in the Steel Class by the Dutch boatbuilder and has undergone five days of sea trials in the North Sea.

The firm describes Project Triton as a 'true blue water' motor yacht, and she has a traditional full-displacement steel hull that has been designed and engineered by the experts at Heesen - and built to the highest possible standards.

The Benetti shipyard has launched its elegant 70-meter custom build yacht, the FB 273.

Launched in the Italian city of Livorno, the steel hull and aluminum superstructure extends across six decks with a futuristic stern featuring two side doors and - in what is a first installation for Benetti - a swimming pool with variable geometry that sees the pool's depth varying for children and adults.

The pool is an integral part of the yacht's main deck, and when fully raised, it will, along with the beach club, open out over the sea with two side terraces.

There is also a vertical bow with a 'touch-and-go' helicopter landing pad, and the sky deck features a Jacuzzi.

The impressive motor yacht Lel has been launched after spending two years under construction with the Italian boatbuilder Rossinavi.

She is 50 meters in length and has been developed by the chairman of Yacht Moments, Kurt Lehmannwith, with her design and architecture being created by Florence-based Luca Dini for an American owner.

The boatbuilder says the motor yacht offers the perfect balance between a traditional Italian yacht design with sporty lines.

The first of several superyacht launches by the Dutch yard AMELS has taken place with the unveiling of the 62.5 meters AMELS 206.

The striking motor yacht comes from the boatbuilder's Limited Editions range and is going to be the first of three new-build deliveries being handed over to owners before the summer season begins.

Fraser Gow was in charge of the yacht's build and he said: "It's a wonderful build milestone seeing her outside and everyone's done an exceptional job, particularly on the finish which can be appreciated now she's outside.

The exterior design work is by Studio De Voogt to create a stylish yacht that is also exceptionally quiet for those onboard.

A second impressive hybrid yacht has been launched by Dutch boatbuilder Heesen in the 5000 aluminum FDHF class.

With a distinct exterior styling and shallow draft, she uses an efficient diesel and a diesel-electric propulsion system.

The yacht, known as Project Electra, is the sistership to the award-winning superyacht Home.

Project Electra is a 50 meters creation that was built at the firm's shipyard in Oss. Frank Laupman of Omega Architects created the distinctive profile with extensive use of glass to help characterize her exterior lines along with a long waterline and near-vertical bow. 

A stunning 55-meter superyacht has been unveiled by the famous Italian shipbuilder Baglietto, called the Severin°s.

The boatyard has 160 years of history in developing and building luxury superyachts with a special celebration with the Severin°s' owner, their guests, and the team behind the build.

The chief executive of Baglietto, Michele Gavino said: "The unveiling of a new yacht is always an extraordinary moment in a shipyard's life. Not only did we welcome a beautiful yacht, the biggest ever built by Baglietto in its recent history, it is a special moment focused on the yacht, her owner -and all the people that made this dream a reality."

The latest superyacht from Italian yard Benetti has been launched in the shape of the 47-meter Bacchanal.

The Mexican owner has previously owned a Benetti classic superyacht. The steel hull and aluminum structure of the Bacchanal, formerly known as FB703, has elegant, understated exterior lines from the yard's designers. 

The interior has been designed by the firm alongside Mauricio Gómez de Tuddo, who was selected by the owner.

She has been hailed as 'quite possibly the best we have ever completed' by the builders of the impressive Arrow.

The 75-meter superyacht, built by Feadship, has been named officially at a ceremony attended by her owner.

Along with guests of the owner, many of the shipbuilder's employees were also in attendance to see the yacht, known previously as Project 703, being dramatically lit with multicoloured lights.
