30-meter "Bijoux" Delivered To Owner
Dutch builder Moonen Yachts handed over the 30-meter "Bijoux" to their owner a couple of days ago. The grey-hulled luxury yacht was built under Moonen's Caribbean series and is the first in that line. Now that she is in the hands of her new owner, they plan to take her to Malta as part of getting acquainted with the yacht. Rene van der Velden has been responsible for the yacht's exterior while the Adam Lay Studio did the interior...
50-meter Project NOVA Sold By Heesen
The 49.80-meter superyacht known as Project NOVA currently under construction at Dutch builder Heesen has been sold! Otherwise known as Y/N17850, the all-aluminium superyacht is scheduled for delivery in the Spring of 2017. The yacht is pretty special, other than looking good, she mixes the patented Fast Displacement Hull Form (FDHF) with hybrid propulsion! Heesen is now pretty well accustomed to working with this hull form having built the first with it as "Galactica Star", also "Azamanta" , "Sibelle" and not to forget "Alive"...
SanLorenzo Adds Hybrid Capability To SL106
The SL106 has been in the model line-up of SanLorenzo for a couple years now but with more and more owners perhaps looking to do their boating a bit more greener, the company has taken this model and added hybrid capability to it. That's essentially the difference between the traditionally powered SL106 and the Hybrid SL106, the layout is generally the same and the vessel is similar. Lets look a bit closer though at what makes the hybrid variant stand out from its conventional model sister...
Crescent 145-footer Exits Build Shed
Canadian builder Crescent Yachts has had a cloudy existence in recent years and a number of projects that were in-build fell victim to circumstances. The Crescent 145 - previously known as the Crescent 144 - was one of them. However, thanks to new ownership taking over the yard and the previously stalled 144 project being resold we now have the Crescent 145...
50-meter Superyacht "Chasseur" Launches At Christensen
Just last week YF reported on the launch of the 50-meter superyacht "Silver Lining". This week we report on the launch of a sister hull of the same length, just under 50-meters called "Chasseur". Chasseur features a light silver-grey hull and white superstructure compared to the all-white with black accents of Silver Lining...
First Yacht Delivered Under New Canados Ownership
Italian yard Canados Yachts has delivered their first yachts since ownership changed at that facility. The yacht is a Canados 90 and was handed over to a customer in the Ibiza area. The Gladiator-line yacht is finished with a glittery gold-coloured hull and should make her fairly distinctive. Canados performance yachts are exactly that, packed with performance. This Gladiator has a top speed in the region of 48-knots and the delivery from the yard to Ibiza was done at a reported average speed of 40-knots...
Sunseeker 40-meter "Jacozami" Delivered To Owners
UK yacht builder Sunseeker has delivered the third Sunseeker 131 called "Jacozami". The near 40-meter luxury yacht is built on a semi displacement hull but she can sprint to as high as 25-knots. However, if range is the intended mission, Jacozami has to be throttled back to a continuous 10 to 12-knots to achieve her 1,500 nautical range. The Sunseeker 131 series started off with "ZoZo" and progressed with the second hull called "Take 5". A fourth yacht is presently under construction and expected to be launched before this year is done...
45-meter "Aquarius" Launched By Mengi-Yay
Another yacht has been launched from the facilities of the Mengi-Yay yard. She is the 45-meter luxury motoryacht "Aquarius". She was built using a typical process for the Mengi-Yay yard, laminated wood epoxy. This yacht comes in at around 300 tonnes and is quite spacious for her 45-meter length. She stands four decks above the waterline -three of them being interior- and the other an open air sundeck...
Mayra Yachts Splash 50-meter "Euphoria"
Turkey-based builder Mayra Yachts finally has splashed the 50-meter "Euphoria" after rolling her out of the shed earlier in May. All went well and she is now comfortably floating to move on to the next phase of her water-borne life -preparation for sea trials-. Now that she is officially launched Mayra Yachts can officially say that Euphoria is their flagship...
50-meter "Silver Lining" Launches At Christensen Yachts
United States yard Christensen Yachts have launched another 50-meter superyacht. This time around it is the "Silver Lining" representing the first launch of 2016 since the ownership changed for the yard...
The Astonishing 156-meter Superyacht "Dilbar"
At 156-meters LOA the brand new "Dilbar" (formerly Project 'Omar') may not be the longest yacht in the world (that title still goes to another Lurssen, "Azzam" at 180-meters) but she certainly grabs the title for her sheer Gross Tonnage. This superyacht floats in at a staggering near 16,000 tonnes, 15,917 GT to be exact according to Lurssen. With a superyacht having such voluminous interiors, some of the features must be astounding! Some may wonder why there isn’t a large pool seen on the exterior decks...
First Open 92 SportFisher By Viking
The tenth Viking 92 Sportfisher model was launched last month and the series is now solidifying as a major model in the company's portfolio but this is also the first in that line to be launched and completed in 'Open' configuration. Usually these yachts feature an enclosed flybridge but it appears this owner has broken the tradition. The yacht is due to be ready for delivery to her owner on July 22nd...
90-meter 'Sunny Memories' Concept From OceAnco
Dutch superyacht builder OceAnco has taken the veil off their latest concept. The new design comes in the form of a 90-meter superyacht with the concept name Sunny Memories. BMT is present on the Naval Architecture with Dennis Ingemansson Design on the exterior. The interior design has not been mentioned to-date. The general design looks typical of OceAnco but many design elements used are stylish and unique to this project...
New Filippetti Navetta 26 In Build
The Filippetti company with their yard in Italy just announced that they have a new Filippetti Navetta 26 under construction. Italian based design studio Hot Lab is responsible for the exterior and interior design in collaboration with the yard. This hull will represent the second vessel in the new Navetta 26 line. Interior renderings are available for this second hull and it suggests that the interior is a mix of several styles but still keeping a contemporary theme. Beiges and Creams with dark accents dominate most areas of the interior. The leathers, lacquered surfaces, and original fabrics in neutral tones combine with the warm characteristics of American walnut, creating a striking color contrast.In the bathrooms, exquisite marble has been chosen, including Eramosa and Navona travertine...
First Numarine 32XP Hull Sold
Turkish yard Numarine has three models in their XP ('explorer') range, the 24XP, 32XP and 40XP. The latest hull in their range to be sold is the middle model -32XP-. It also represents the first hull in that particular size to be sold and is reportedly going to a European client. This model is barely over 100-feet (overall 106-feet) but is expected to give you range when you demand it! Think 3,000 nautical range at approximately a constant 12-knots. Push those twin 715 horsepower CATs and the 32XP should be able to respond with a 14-knot top speed...
First Azimut Magellano 76 Delivered To United States
Of all the Magellano 76 models by Azimut Yachts delivered since the range inception a couple of years ago, only now has a hull been delivered to a United States customer. The owners are no strangers to Azimut as they have owned a previous Azimut model but this one is a different design and style presenting a more displacement type vibe versus their express sporty model -an Azimut 55S-...
CRN Announce Sale Of 62-meter Custom Build
Italian builder CRN yachts today announced that they have nabbed a contract for a full-custom 62-meter superyacht. Details surrounding this new build are almost non-existent at this stage whether due to confidentiality agreements or just down to lack of released specifications. The project name is said to be NL303 which might hint at the fact that Nuvolari Lenard are the designers both on the exterior and the interior. This would not be the first time Nuvolari Lenard are working with the Italian yard so it should come through as a fruitful collaboration. Once construction starts it will be known as hull 137 at the yard. From the line rendering we see a sporty but mature design that spreads over four decks above the waterline. The tender garage is up front in the bow and will be sealed off by two garage doors. This perhaps suggests that there is a beach club in the aft lower deck...
First M50 Superyacht By MondoMarine Leaves Build Shed
With a design by Hot Lab Studios, the sporty M50 superyacht has taken in the first rays of light since leaving the construction shed. This is the first hull in the M50 line by Italian builder MondoMarine...

62-meter Project Vector By Rossi Navi
Rossi Navi has a 62-meter superyacht under construction at their facilities. The project name has been revealed as Vector and is being built for an American customer. The superyacht will be propelled by waterjets and have a top speed in the region of 28-knots. Four MTU 16V 2000 M94 engines are below deck and linked to four KaMeWa water jets to power this large yacht to such speeds. Project Vector will have trans Atlantic range if dialed back to more conservative speeds...
