Heesen Yachts announced on March 20 that it has delivered Sibelle, a 50-meter motor yacht, to her owner. Heesen conducted seal trials in the North Sea during mid-February, when rough waters and high winds would have slowed a lesser yacht. The company found that Sibelle performed above contractual obligations even without using stabilizers.
Rossinavi has announced that Longitude 47, fully customized 46.8-meter motor yacht, has been sold. Rossinavi worked in coordination with Fulcio De Simoni to create a unique, sporty design that offers plenty of comfort and fun.
Royal Huisman is giving its 57-meter sailing yacht Twizzle a makeover that will make it even more attractive and functional. In preparation for the summer season, the company has replaced Twizzle's rigs for improved performance. Royal Huisman also had the yacht's hull and spars repainted.
The shipbuilder currently has three yachts nearing completion. One will even get delivered to her owner by the end of March. This is all very exciting news from a company that stays on the cutting edge of technology and beauty.
Heesen Yachts has announced that it will launch a new 50-meter motor yacht, named Sibelle, at the end of February. Although the company plans further extensive testing in the North Sea, it expects to deliver Sibelle to her owner on time.
Heesen Yachts worked closely with Sibelle's owner to achieve a unique design that maximizes comfort and efficiency. The owner, who has plenty of experience traveling the world by yacht, wanted to avoid a Fast Displacement Hull Form, replacing it with a plumb bow. This offered a challenge for Heesen. After numerous studies, the shipyard created a plumb bow that ensure Sibelle will stay on course while offering greater comfort and performance, even in high wave conditions.
The improved design also helped Heesen make Sibelle a highly efficient vessel can cross the Atlantic Ocean with only 45,000 liters of fuel. She has a maximum speed of 18.5 knots.
On board, Heesen built a 61-square meter master suite. The suite has two dressing rooms and two ensuite bathrooms. Sibelle also has four guest cabins. In total, she can comfortably carry 10 guests.
Sibelle's expansive outdoor living spaces give guests the opportunity to enjoy everything that seat travel offers. The outdoor spaces become even larger when the two tenders are placed in the water, revealing a party space where guests can socialize with a full view of the ocean's beauty.
Sibelle's owner wanted to keep her design as simple as possible. Heesen has met this demand with gusto. She has an elegant shape, efficient technology, and uncompromising aesthetic that should serve her owner's needs for decades to come.
Last December, the 47metre project, YN 16947, product of a joint work by Frank Laupman of Omega Architects and Bannenberg & Rowell studio, was finally launched at Oss facilities. Its name, M/Y Asya, can be seen in bright gold from far away in the middle of this colossal superyacht, as this was how her owners christened her throughout a private ceremony. Some of her pictures have been unveiled and are available at the end of this article.
After three years of intense designing and building, Feadship announced the launch of Savannah, an 83.5-meter vessel noted as the world's first hybrid superyacht. The motor yacht launched from Feadship's yard in Aalsmeer, Netherlands. Savannah's owner celebrated the event with a James Bond-themed festival in honor of the dedicated engineers, designers, and craftsmen who dedicated years of their lives to the special yacht.
Feadship created Savannah to compete with some of the world's most eco-friendly yachts. She gets her environmentally conscious strength from three generators, a main engine build by Warsilla, a central propeller shaft, and Li-ion batteries capable of holding up to one million watts of power.
This combination of technology increases Savannah's energy efficiency by about 30%. Her captain can also take advantage of flexible settings so she can use diesel fuel, a fully electric system, or a combination of diesel and electric.
The IAG127' is a 40m tri-deck motor yacht specially conceived for charter operations. Despite keeping down the overall dimensions, she is able to accommodate twelve guests with nine crew, while still providing huge salons and recreational spaces, quite incredible for a yacht of this size.

After being long term supporters of the event, these four renowned shipyard brands have proudly taken the challenge.
The profile of the 86S will remind you of a sea creature attempting to break through the sea's surface. A particularly narrow bow precedes a slender, aerodynamic body, characterized by square windows and double mirrored shark fin windows, that are synonymous with the S Collection.

In selfies times, where major technological improvements, Facebook and Twitter seem to eat it all, not everything is virtual and commercial frivolity. At Harry Winston's, one of the leading jewellery brands at the world summit, there's a sparkling place for the hope of those that massive world globalisation has left behind.
The Harry Winston Hope Foundation, Inc. it's the entity through which this 83 years old company supports charitable causes in the local communities where is present. Following its main principle of inspiring hope & changing lives through education, Winston's Hope Foundation advocates to economically support charitable causes, programmes and organisations that intend to bring closer quality education to empower disadvantaged or disabled youth, as well as to provide a better and healthier future where the equal opportunity rules.
This social working tradition comes from long ago at Winston's house. From the very beginning, Mr. Harry Winston itself showed that social conscience was an important task to work for at his company, and made it one of the principal values behind his work. The legendary Court of Jewels, a touring gem museum where the most impressive winston's jewels were exhibited, went through the main american cities raising money to help the needy from 1949 till 1953. The Hope Diamond, a 45.52-carat stone that once was property of Louis XIV and Marie Antoinette, was part of this amazing travelling collection. As well as today, at those times this breathtaking gem captivated the eye of whomever watched it, and at 1958 Winston donated it to the Smithsonian Institution in Washington, D.C. in order to be exposed and visited by the whole world. Among three different settings designed for this astounding rock called Hope, at 2010 Winston chose the "Embracing Hope" setting to celebrate the donation anniversary, a three diamond strings necklace that embraces the hope diamond in the middle. As if saying that hope needs to be embraced more than ever in this new age of humanity where everything seems to evolve so fast, Winston chose this setting to be the new icon of this legend. May be, the shiniest message ever.
Coming close of the heels of 2015, this amazing mega yacht has been launched on December 4th at Livorno as a co-creation between two monsters of yachting manufacture and design: Benetti and Sinot Design Studio.
The best of the expertise of Benetti's group has been printed on every inch of Formosa, which is 60 meters long, cruises at 15 knots or at 12 knots when saving fuel, but able to get to 16 knots as maximum speed, impelled by its MTU 12V4000 M53 engines.
The enormous vessel has been designed to be a synonym of comfort. With five decks, 60m Formosa is ready to receive up to 10 guests in its rooms without counting the owner's deck, plus 15 crew members including the captain to work at the ship. Style and refinement have been the main concepts displayed on board by Sinot, and the owner itself has closely collaborated on the different stages of the design.
What would you call one of the most beautifully, painstakingly designed 290-foot yachts in the world? Nirvana, of course.

The results is a wonderful craft with high performance, comfort, and plenty of space as well as beauty.

The Royal Huisman Twizzle does something that few yachts can accomplish: it combines the strength of traditional sailing yachts with the comfort and amenities of modern motor yachts.
