A Breathtaking Vision of Sustainable Yachting

Monaco's glittering shores and azure waters have always played host to the globe's most extraordinary superyachts. But this year, at the 2023 Monaco Yacht Show, the maritime elite witnessed a debut that represents not just luxury and opulence but a promising vision for the future: Feadship’s latest Concept Design, "Dunes".

For the uninitiated, Feadship, the iconic Dutch shipbuilder, embarked on a transformative journey in 2006. Through unveiling their annual concept designs, they've been showcasing radical shifts in luxury yachting expectations. These aren’t mere drafts of excess; they're purposeful evolutions. Evolutions driven by the confluence of client aspirations, visionary brainstorming, and breakthroughs in marine technology.

Marina di Carrara, Italy - The Italian Sea Group has unveiled Art Explorer, the first sailing catamaran from the iconic Perini Navi brand. The 47-meter yacht is a groundbreaking vessel that sets new standards for luxury, performance, and sustainability.

Art Explorer was designed by Axel De Beaufort and features an all-carbon fiber hull and superstructure. The yacht is powered by a hybrid propulsion system that combines electric motors and diesel engines, making it one of the most environmentally friendly sailing yachts in the world.

The interior of Art Explorer is equally impressive. The yacht features five spacious cabins that can accommodate up to 12 guests, as well as a large salon, dining room, and sundeck. The yacht also has a dedicated art gallery that will be used to showcase works by emerging and established artists.

The Italian shipyard Rossinavi has unveiled its latest superyacht, the M/Y No Stress Two. The 50-meter yacht is the first in a new line of hybrid vessels from Rossinavi, and it features a number of innovative technologies that make it one of the most environmentally friendly superyachts on the market.

One of the most striking features of the M/Y No Stress Two is its hybrid propulsion system. The yacht is powered by a combination of diesel engines and electric motors, which can be used in either parallel or series mode. In parallel mode, the diesel engines and electric motors work together to provide maximum power. In series mode, the electric motors power the yacht while the diesel engines are used to recharge the batteries.

Benetti, the Italian shipyard known for its luxury yachts, has unveiled its new flagship for the Class Range: the Benetti Class 44M. The yacht is designed to be a luxurious and comfortable home away from home for its owners, with a spacious layout and a focus on sustainability.

The Benetti Class 44M is 44 meters long and has four decks. The main deck is home to the master suite, the galley, and the living room. The upper deck has a large sundeck and a dining area. The lower deck has four guest cabins and the crew quarters.

The yacht is made with sustainable materials, including FSC-certified wood. The interior is designed to be informal and natural, with a focus on light and airiness. The yacht also has a number of features that are designed to reduce its environmental impact, such as a water purification system and a soundproofing system.

The Columbus Atlantique 65 is a yacht that defies convention. It is not a radical departure from the norm but rather a subtle evolution of the Atlantique design philosophy. This incremental approach to innovation has resulted in a yacht that is both timeless and cutting-edge.

The Atlantique 65's exterior is characterized by its clean, elegant lines and seamless interior and exterior space integration. The exterior design is the work of Hot Lab, and it features perfectly proportioned volumes and smooth, polished surfaces. The overall effect is one of understated luxury and sophistication.

The interior of the Atlantique 65 is just as impressive as the exterior. The yacht can accommodate up to 12 guests in five spacious cabins, each of which is decorated in a different style. The owner's cabin is located on the main deck and features a private balcony, a spacious walk-in closet, and a bathroom with a Jacuzzi.

Damen Yachting has delivered its latest SeaXplorer 58 superyacht, PINK SHADOW, to her Owner. The 58-meter yacht is the third SeaXplorer delivered by the Dutch yacht builder and is the first to be constructed at Damen Yachting's build facility in Antalya, Turkey.

PINK SHADOW is a true explorer yacht, with a design that is both stylish and functional. She features a spacious interior with six luxurious staterooms for up to 12 guests, as well as a variety of outdoor spaces for enjoying the fresh air and sunshine.

The latest Feadship to enter its completion stages, Project 822, has been revealed to the public for the first time since her bare hull arrived at the shipyard in 2021. The 75.70-meter superyacht features exterior design by the renowned British firm RWD, who also designed the interior in collaboration with Susan Young Interiors. Naval architecture is by Feadship De Voogt Naval Architects.

The yacht has a sleek, contemporary design with a long, flowing profile. The superstructure is angular and minimalist, while the hull is smooth and curvaceous. The overall effect is one of understated elegance.

Turquoise Yachts is pleased to announce the successful delivery of NB69, INFINITE JEST, on July 27, 2023. The 75-meter yacht will now embark on her maiden voyage in the Mediterranean before crossing the Atlantic.

With the recent delivery of INFINITE JEST, Turquoise now has six yachts under construction, including the 87-meter Vento and the 79-meter Toro, which is next in line for delivery. The company is also building a 42-meter sailing yacht.

Southern Wind has launched the first of a new generation of Smart Custom yachts, the SW108#01 Hybrid Gelliceaux. The yacht is characterized by outstanding performance, innovative design, and advanced technology.

The SW108#01 is a diesel-electric hybrid, which means that it can run on both diesel fuel and electricity. This gives the yacht a range of over 3,000 nautical miles, making it ideal for long-range cruising.

The yachting industry is increasingly witnessing transformative designs seamlessly blending luxury with sustainability. Feadship, a name synonymous with elite maritime luxury, has again captured the industry's attention with the launch of the 84.20-meter Obsidian, setting a new benchmark in the drive towards carbon-neutral super yachting by 2030.

Obsidian's inception comes with an impressive legacy. Commissioned to be even more energy efficient than Feadship's 2015 marvel, Savannah, Obsidian's design challenge was to reduce environmental impact by over 30% despite the looming challenges of a global pandemic. While a significant feat, the 12-month design period was marked by another major milestone: it was accomplished without in-person collaboration due to the Covid-19 lockdowns.

Turquoise Yachts is proud to share an expanded portfolio of images of the recently delivered 53m Jewels.

Jewels’ exterior, with her elegant sharp lines and clear geometry, is the design work of Miami-based DeBasto Designs, and her sumptuous interior design is the creation of London- based H2 Yacht Design in collaboration with the yacht’s owner.

At 720 GT, Jewels offer a fantastic amount of interior and exterior space commensurate with yachts that are usually much larger. She offers 8 + 1 guest staterooms, while the exterior deck areas are spacious and designed for entertaining both large groups as well as intimate gatherings. “No one will feel lost,” says Luiz DeBasto, principal of DeBasto Designs. The Sun Deck offers around-the-clock entertainment with a hot tub, sun-pads, TV, day head, bar, and acres of open space.

Unveiling The Revamped Icon

Every year, the yachting elite gather in the gleaming bay of Monaco to witness the launch of world-class vessels. This year, however, promises to be different – all thanks to the newly refitted 97m masterpiece, CARINTHIA VII.

Lürssen and Fraser, two monoliths in luxury yachting, will proudly present this stunning vessel at the 2023 Monaco Yacht Show. Originally built in 2002, CARINTHIA VII has undergone an extensive refit at Lürssen's state-of-the-art Hamburg facilities, bringing her back to the limelight.

The yacht's exterior now boasts redesigned decks with spacious lounging and living areas, exuding luxury at every corner. The added 12m/39' pool and adjacent fitness room will be a magnet for the show's attendees.

In the illustrious world of superyachts, novelty, and innovation are the new norms. The newly unveiled Baltic 111 Raven, a product of the highly reputed Baltic Yachts, captures this spirit with audacity. Set for launch from the shores of Jakobstad, Finland, the Raven signifies an evolution in luxury sailing, seamlessly blending weight control, luxury, and high-speed voyaging into one package.

The Baltic 111 Raven, designed as an ultra-lightweight, foil-assisted superyacht, challenges conventional categorization, soaring into a league of her own. Her primary function will be day sailing, but she can also undertake high-speed, long-distance passages. The blend of design, structure, and purpose gives this extraordinary yacht a unique appeal akin to a high-end supercar, according to her experienced owner's project manager, Garth Brewer of A2B Marine Projects.

A Fusion of Elegance, Sophistication, and Uniqueness

The yacht industry is known for its innovative spirit, dedication to the craft, and ability to bring dreams to life. Today, we uncover the latest remarkable feat that undoubtedly fits the bill: The striking new superyacht birthed by Van der Valk Shipyard in the Netherlands. As exclusive images and videos emerge, we witness the first-ever 34-meter launch model for a custom series christened the Pilot, a brainchild of the revered designer Cor D. Rover.

Shrouded in mystery until its recent unveiling, the Pilot graces the waterways with an elegant, encapsulating high-volume contemporary explorer. One can't help but marvel at the exquisite exterior detailing, revealed fully as her sleek hull kissed the water before her sea trials.

This week in Vlissingen, the Netherlands, the fourth Amels 60 superyacht touched water for the first time. The new 60-metre Amels 60 will be delivered to her Owner this autumn.

The fourth Amels 60 features an exterior design by Espen Øino, naval architecture by Damen Yachting, and a custom interior by two collaborating studios: Studio Indigo and Pure Living.

Since being introduced in 2019, the popular Amels 60 series continues to grow and includes an impressive six units. While the sisterships share similar features and a proven platform, each has her spirit and individuality.

The Pleasure of Speeding and the Freedom of Outdoor Life at Sea

With the first AB120 about to be delivered yet to be officially introduced to the market, Next Yacht Group announces the sale of another unit of this brand-new model, which recently joined the AB Yachts range.

"We are particularly proud of this sale," says Next Yacht Group Head of Sales Giacomo Benelli. "Our challenge is to deliver yachts that are not simply eye-catching and high-performing but also original, distinctive, and increasingly exciting. And the market is responding."

Oceanco has once again raised the bar for luxury yacht design by delivering Seven Seas. This remarkable 109-meter motoryacht showcases the extraordinary collaboration between Sinot Yacht Architecture & Design and Molly Isaksen Interiors.

Setting Seven Seas apart is her beautifully proportioned profile and the exquisite use of natural materials and glass onboard, offering guests an unparalleled outward-looking experience. The yacht's exterior is characterized by its sleek, minimalist lines, while the interior is awash in natural light thanks to the extensive use of glass. The result is a stylish and inviting yacht with a sense of spaciousness and openness that is rare on such a large vessel.

Columbus Yachts, the renowned Palumbo Superyachts brand, has unveiled its latest maritime marvel - M/Y Anjelif, a 50-meter entire custom luxury yacht. Crafted from aluminum, the Anjelif stands as a symbol of the shipbuilder's dedication to innovative yacht design, environmental sustainability, and attention to detail.

The innovative M/Y Anjelif, christened by her experienced owner, is a model of advanced marine engineering. At the heart of this luxury behemoth is a diesel-electric hybrid propulsion system, a nod to the brand's commitment to integrating sustainable technologies into its bespoke designs.

Vitters Shipyard has reached a significant milestone in the construction of Project 3093, a 44-meter sloop designed by Reichel Pugh Design. The hull has been flipped, and the yacht is now positioned on its cradles for outfitting.

Project 3093 is characterized by a modern, dynamic exterior design with active lines and timeless contemporary interior styling. The yacht features ample glass and expansive deck space, including a large covered cockpit protected from the elements. The transom area can be converted into a spacious beach club, offering direct access to the sea.
