MMX45 Expedition From Malcolm McKeon
The MMX45 from Malcolm McKeon is one of those new designs that is actually practical to build as well as utilize in the environment it was designed for. Anyone knowing Malcolm McKeon's designs are well aware they are meant for big adventure cruising in tough conditions while providing a luxury platform for the owner and guests. This latest design, the MMX45 (45-meter) is at least anticipated to be able to roam for 4,500 to 5,000 nautical miles at around 11 to 12-knots...
New Renders Glimpse CRN Hull 138 Interior Concept
Back in July YF showed you the progress of hull 138 under construction at the CRN yard and some interior renderings. Those interior renderings were likely stock penned images to give an owner what could be done with the interior spaces. However, with this vessel being sold in early 2018 the new owner more-than-likely changed the entire interior concept. This led to what we see today with some new renderings of what the new interior should look like when completed...
2019 FLIBS Float-Out Parade!
If you've ever attended the Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show (FLIBS), you know the big boats on the facedock are med-moored. Not the best vantage point to see sheer lines, so this year we decided to give these beauties the runway they deserve. YF's favorite photographer Tom Serio put an eye in the sky to film the show that comes the day after FLIBS; the Float Out Parade. It takes a good week to get all these boats packed into Bahia Mar, but only a day to empty the slips. Lauderdale residents know this is the best day for yacht-watching...

"Baba's"; Hargrave's 56-meter Flagship
The 56-meter flagship of the Hargrave Custom Yachts is called "Baba’s". She was built to a design by Unique Yachts with an interior and Naval Architecture by HSY Yachts. This isn’t necessarily new territory for Hargrave as they have built this large before taking it all the way back to 1991 with the 184-foot "Katamarino" currently known as "Paris" at Amels. Jack Hargrave designed the exterior on that superyacht but it was built at Amels. Baba’s in their first built totally by them...

Bugatti Boat In Build To Premier In 2020
Automotive companies have tried to dabble in the yacht business off and on but many showcase designs that never really make it off the concept board. One that did recently was from Lexus, the LY650 which was built in partnership with Marquis Yachts. Have we seen a super/hypercar manufacturer step into the marine world as yet? Bugatti has entered this realm and will be offering a 12-meter vessel by Salome Yachts...

65-meter V-Line By Baglietto
The 2019 Monaco Yacht Show (MYS) was used by Baglietto to further detail the 65-meter V-Line superyacht in their offering. While it was not necessarily a first time unveiling of this design, as it was officially unveiled as a concept at the 2018 Monaco Yacht Show (MYS), more information about the project was revealed at this year's show.

Two New Wider Models Announced
Wider Yachts recently announced two new models at the 2019 Monaco Yacht Show (MYS), the Wider 180 and the smaller 41-meter Wider 135. The larger Wider 180 which will become the yard's flagship when completed in 2022 is designed by Andrea Vallicelli and C Yacht Design. Comparing this model to the other two (bigger motoryachts) this yard has in service, there is a slight departure in styling. Wider Yachts pride themselves on having a yacht that could transform itself by extending its deck space outward with fold-out terraces and balconies and expansive beach clubs/tender garages. The larger they build, the less impactful this design philosophy will become and we think this is starting to happen. Wider Yachts expect to start steel cutting for the hull at the start of 2020. True to expectations, there is a large beach club onboard which hosts a tender up to 10-meters...
