Just to ensure construction stays to standard Eureka Yachts will oversee the construction of the vessel...
R-43 Command Bridge By Ranger Tugs
The R-43 Command Bridge is the largest vessel Ranger Tugs manufactures at the moment and this is the model we are discussing today. The company does however make smaller vessels all the way down to the R-23. There are quite a few models between the R-23 and R-43 CB. The R-25, R-27, R-29S, R-29 CB, R-31S, R-31 CB and the R-43S are those models...

PRIVACY MATTERS!
Forums originally shaped the internet and thanks to tech companies that violate user trust, forums are thriving again. In fact, Facebook started Groups to compete with Internet Forums which still drive the bulk of information based searches. Social media is fun, but privacy is essential. We've spent 19 years building a digital documentary on yachting without ever tracking readers or selling user information. Some of our earliest members were recognizable names from the Fortune 500; folks who answer to shareholders, employees and competitors...

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...

The first Canados Oceanic 143 is finally ready to launch after many delays over the last few years.

Dayboats are still the rage and with continual freshness being inserted from new designers, a day on the water is becoming increasingly more sophisticated and luxurious. Vripack has been behind the Q52 Dayboat design to be built by a company called Qnautic. Of course the Q52 can be utilized as a tender to be carried aboard some class of superyachts...ideally on an open deck or as a chase boat...

The first renderings have surfaced for the design of "Magnolia 2" which is the second hull for a Turkish yard called Magnolia Yachts.

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...
Introducing YachtForums Yacht Sales!
For 20 years our discussions have educated both industry and consumers, but we'd like YF to benefit the people that have earned it: the thousands of members who share their knowledge and experience on YachtForums. Several years ago we contemplated a community-based brokerage model where members that contribute to the collective are compensated for their time and knowledge...
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 new landmark yacht in question is called "Miss Candy", a 45.5-meter motor yacht with design work from Optima Design. 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
