Three main concepts shape the Sun Odyssey 439: a fast, seaworthy sailboat, simple to use deck and sail plans and a high-quality interior.

The ketch sail plan, designed and engineered by Perini Navi's Mast Division measures 1,500 square meters. Both the main and the mizzen masts are in aluminum and are respectively 58.37 and 47.97 meters high. The booms are both in carbon fiber and have in-boom furling systems.

This yacht has especially ample areas for enjoying life on deck with two cockpits, one fore, one aft, which allow owners and guests to enjoy generously comfortable outdoor spaces.

Alloy Yachts would like to congratulate Liquid Automation for winning "Best Application of AV in a Commercial or Government Installation" at this year's AVIA (Audio Visual Industry Awards) in Australia.

A tribute to the sea, the element from which every form draws life. This is the thought that gave rise to the creative idea behind the new Azimut 58: ample flanks from which large spaces take shape in which to live a direct relationship with the sea. Generous volumes whose forms reflect the waves of the sea.

The Azimut 58 Flybridge, designed by Stefano Righini, reflects in the seagreen color, dedicated to the first model, the beauty of the nature of islands and atolls and diffuses in the interiors of the saloon the luminosity of the external panoramas through huge expanses of glass and the new rectangular panoramic windows of the master cabin, for the first time openable. The large, square bow, a flybridge that unites the dining area with the sun deck in a rational way: distinctive features of the external volumes that ensure maximum comfort and pleasure of onboard life. 

Numerous deck hatches and portholes flood the inside with light emphasising the rich materials found throughout: leather, stainless steel, and the finely varnished woodwork. The Jeanneau 53 offers a level of standard equipment unequalled in her class. A luxurious lounge sits opposite a wide and comfortable dining area and just forward of the spacious, well-equipped kitchen. Each interior layout features optimised ergonomics and storage. With numerous interior layouts, the Jeanneau 53 has been designed to fit every need.

In 2010 Vicem Yachts embarked on a development program for the new Vulcan Line of mega-yachts over 100'/30 meters with the sole resources of internal capital financing.

Vicem is undertaking an important business expansion plan and is enlarging its horizons beyond mahogany construction into high-tech composite construction with three new sleek, fast yachts, including a 46m/151', 35m/118' and 32m/105' for its Vulcan Line. All three yachts will be launched in the 2012.

Seattle, June 2012 – Delta recently celebrated two significant milestones in the construction of its latest megayacht, Project Invader. Invader, a 66-meter steel and composite motoryacht, is scheduled for delivery spring of 2013.

Invader's steel hull was recently transported from Delta's metal hull facility to its main assembly yard for final fit out and construction. The process spanned a two day period in which Delta transported the impressive 800 ton hull by barge to Delta's main yard via the Duwamish waterway. Once at Delta, coordinating with the tides, the hull was rolled ashore and into Delta's high-bay assembly building.

Once again, Riva and Officina Italiana Design accepted the challenge of reinterpreting the "Open" concept. The resulting yacht features the style of all the yard's products. Innovative and different to its predecessors, this yacht features elegance and design. 63' Vertigo's aristocratic lines barely conceal its spirited character.

Darlings Danama, hull number 130 of the shipyard, made of steel and aluminium and commissioned to CRN by a European ship owner, is the sixth 60 metre leisure boat built from 2005 till today, a particularly significant result within this market segment. Darlings Danama was built on a 10.20 metres naval platform, the same one used for other important 60m mega yachts manufactured by the shipyard of Ancona, such as the CRN 126 "Blue Eyes" 60 m and CRN 128 "Mimtee" 60m.
