The 80-meter superyacht Tatiana has been described as a 'one-of-a-kind' by her builder, and she is also the largest yacht launched so far by Turkish yard Bilgin Yachts.

A private launch ceremony has taken place at the yacht builder's facility in West Istanbul Marina with a fitting out taking place for delivery this summer.

The yacht-builder says that the first of its Bilgin 263 series is a key milestone as it strives to become one of the world's most prominent brands for building superyachts.

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.
