Project 'ENZO' Launched at Lurssen
German custom superyacht builder Lurssen has announced the launching of their latest superyacht, the 115.1-meter Project 'ENZO'. Not alot is known about this vessel other than what the builder has released to the public. Here is what we know so far about the 380-foot superyacht. Her design inside and out is by Nuvolari and Lenard and the vessel has been built for a repeat client of the Lurssen yard. With many design elements and cues reminiscent of a previous 88-meter Lurssen build, it is not far-fetched to deduce who commissioned this new project...

First Non-Flybridge N68 Launched By Nordhavn
Nordhavn has announced the launching of another N68 from the Ta Shing yard but this time around, it is actually a first for the company. You may be asking why is it a first when this specimen is #39 in the N68 model. This unit, N6839, is actually the first unit to be built without a flybridge in this model. The yard is confident that this trend may transition into more orders for flybridgeless N68s in the future. There weren't any drastic changes required to make the non-flybridge arrangement...
Nordhavn N41 Popularity Surges
It wasn't that long ago that Nordhavn was feeling good about the first ten hulls of the N41 being sold. Prior to that they were also feeling good about introducing the N41 to the market towards the end of 2020. Last week the yard has engaged in at least commitments for 40 hulls of the new N41 passagemaker. So why is this new model proving to be so popular and hasn't even been in service for a year? One of the main reasons perhaps can be summed up as...'entry level'. This is important because many new owners to yachting either may not be able to afford a large yacht up front or foot the cost of operation and associated maintenance there after. The N41 is the perfect bridge to getting new owners into the realm of yachting without breaking the bank -under reasonable expectations-...
52 Pilothouse By Apollonian Yachts
The 52 Pilothouse from Apollonian Yachts was born out of a need to fill a deficiency of affordable new pilothouse boats. Designed by renowned naval architect Howard Apollonio in conjunction with experienced boater and longtime yacht salesman Vic Parcells, the boat uses modern building techniques to deliver performance and comfort. Howard has lent his namesake to a truly remarkable line of affordable raised pilothouse motor yachts to meet the cruising needs of boaters in the USA, Canada and throughout the world. The yard launched and completed hull 5201 last year and the boat quickly sold and is in possession of her new owner. Hull 5202 recently arrived and is a dealer demo boat currently available for inspection in Seattle, Washington. 5203 is under construction and slated for U.S. arrival later this year...

In fact, Grand Banks suggests that every GB85 is customizable to the owners specification via different layout options and custom alterations...

Just A Glimpse: Interior Of 'Black Shark'
'Black Shark' is the project name of a 77-meter superyacht presently under construction at German yard Nobiskrug. The vessel was supposed to be one of the more transparent projects that the yard has built in terms of provision of information and renderings to the industry. Usually, it is the other way around where information is withheld. True to their word, the yard has provided exterior renderings of what the vessel should look like when completed and we have seen bare-metal photos of the hull being transported. Now we get to glimpse what the interior and deck spaces should look like too...

Summit 54; A Fresh Approach To The Kadey-Krogen
When you hear the name Kadey-Krogen a couple things may spring to mind immediately. The idea that the vessel will be one of traditional styling and slow and easy-going is likely to be forefront. You would not be mistaken either if this was your thought-process. The Summit 54 however, is the answer to a number of owner's request in the past. This was for the yard to produce a model or models that echoes the features and safety elements of the 42-year-old brand, but this time around with more speed...
Throwback; Huckins Sportsman 38
Huckins Yachts drew from past experience as well as past inspiration when they developed the Huckins Sportsman 38. The only difference to this nod-to-the-past is the construction materials used and the ability to be hybrid as well as the option to be outboard powered or with onboard Cummins power. The yard's idea to pull on design cues and lines that were popular back in the '30s makes this modern interpretation on the water much more valued...
