The subject of one of this month's features is the 35-meter "Infinity Nine" which is finishing up at Turkish builder AvA Yachts. The owner of this yacht is the well-known former NBA athlete Tony Parker. Most notably he played for the San Antonio Spurs as well as the Charlotte Hornets.

Steeler 61S; An Electric Explorer
Perhaps what is the world's first Electric explorer yacht, the Steeler 61S is making noise without making any! This yacht was launched at the end of 2021 and presently should be wrapping up her testing and sea trial phases. The yacht is called "Havgap" and just looking at her from the outside you would be sure she is the ordinary fossil-fuel burning boat. This builder manufactures their ocean-going long range vessels with steel hull construction despite their diminutive sizes...

Vicem 93 Taking Shape For Australian Owners
Vicem Yachts has a 28-meter Vicem 93 Cruiser currently under construction. It is another model in the yard's Cruiser series. The Cruiser series already has another four models up to approximately 107-feet. The yard already delivered a 80-plus foot boat earlier this year. For the owners the Vicem 107 Cruiser appealed to them but clearly they needed something a bit smaller with their own layout. This created the first hull as the Vicem 93 Cruiser. The yacht's design has been penned inside and out by the yard...
Siman Launches First Yacht; 45.5-meter "Lady Candy"
Siman has now launched its first yacht. This yard has been around more than a decade yet has only this year launched this first yacht. Sounds like a predicament to be in but the yard has mainly been collaborating with other yards on their projects.

The yard is actively working on two more yachts under construction at present...
Intermarine 24-meter Yacht
Luiz de Basto is the designer behind the new 24-meter Intermarine yacht. It is a flybridge yacht with exterior by De Basto Designs with an interior that was formulated in-house by the yard. One of the features the vessel has that is immediately recognizable is the fold out balconies/terraces. While this is not a new concept as we have seen it with Wider Yachts and other manufacturers following suit, it does bring something extra on a 24-meter yacht (just over 80-feet as the vessel is 24.8-meters LOA)...
Nordhavn 40 Atlantic Crossing
M/Y Embracing Life
This isn’t a story about a small boat crossing the Atlantic, but is about the owner with the determination to do so. This is about the journey, the destination, and the man standing behind the wheel. Well, to be precise, the man is sitting not standing, and the wheel has been replaced with a joystick. The transoceanic vessel’s name is Embracing Life. Philippe Guglielmetti not only embraces life, but he wrote a book titled Embracing Life After My Stroke. Boating is not new to Philippe, but crossing oceans in his own yacht is...M/Y Embracing Life

Many years ago we had a sub-forum on YF for owners of private jets. As it grew in popularity, we launched a standalone website... JetForums. In recent years we've watched jet aviation undergo a revolution that is reshaping private aircraft and we've documented this daily. We're literally watching the future unfold with a slew of super-sonic jets, electric airplanes, eVTOLs and Ducted Fans. If you have an interest in jet aviation, come join us for some headset-free, oxygen deprived squawk at.....
