73-meter Superyacht "Odessa II" By Nobiskrug
The 73-meter superyacht christened as "Odessa II" started out build life at Abu Dhabi Mar Kiel and then was completed by Nobiskrug for her owner. The design is by Focus Yacht while the quite elegant interior has been formulated by H2 Yacht design. It was fashioned to echo a New Hamptons style that was comfortable for the owner and family to enjoy. Hull 423 as she was known as at the time of construction was built with a steel hull and an aluminium superstructure. The hull was built at HDW –at the time- and represents a familiar hull platform. We have seen a similar hull completed as superyacht “Plan B”...
New 50-meter In-build Hull FB802 Sold
The first 50-meter of this series was launched and completed as “Vica” two years ago and now the second hull is expected to be launched in a couple months. Hull FB802 was under construction but recently gained an owner thanks to a new sale. The build name is Project ‘Breeze’ but that does not give any indication to her final name at this point. The construction should be similar to the first hull using a GRP hull and aluminum superstructure. The yacht exists over three decks and a large sundeck and has a number of great features...
New Bering 115 Explorer Unveiled By Bering Yachts

McMullen & Wing 50-meter Hull 1016 Leaves Build Shed
New Zealand based yacht builder McMullen & Wing has technically launched their latest yacht. It naturally represents their first launch for 2016 too. The yacht is a 50-meter variant of their extremely widely publicized build "Big Fish". This 50-meter has had an interesting life story already and it hasn’t even touched the water as yet. 'Big Fire' could have been her name and it would have been apt. For those who may not know, this 50-meter yacht was originally intended to be called "Star Fish" but with just half a year or so left in the construction, it caught fire at the yard severely damaging the yacht in the process. This left the yard with a lot think about in regards to the build back in 2012 but luckily in 2014, a new owner was found and thus sold to them...
German-made Nobiskrug 74-meter Superyacht "Mogambo"
German builder Nobiskrug has built several yachts to-date and one of their builds sails around with the name "Mogambo". This yacht is a slight evolution of the "Triple Seven" platform and just looking at her will confirm this but she has stylistic appeal on her own too. Forget the familiar lines, her grey and white paint work is echoed on many other yachts around the world but she has a distinctive grey splash on her superstructure that no other yacht can claim and this makes her very easy to distinguish in her current state...
First DreamLine 30 From DL Yachts Finds Owner

The yacht’s design –inside and out- is collaboration between DL Yachts, Arrabito Naval Architects and Enrico Gobbi of Team for Design...
Baglietto Hull 10219 Technically Launches From Build Shed
Italian builder Baglietto Yachts has started the year on a positive note with the technical launching of a 54-meter superyacht. The yacht is very similar to what we have grown accustomed to from the Baglietto and Francesco Paszkowski collaboration. Although she isn’t in the water yet, hull number 10219 has left the shed to be prepared for full splashing later this month. Her construction has been in steel for the hull and aluminum for the superstructure. This yacht was signed in 2014 and been built for an unnamed European owner. The launching isn’t expected to be with too much media fanfare as it will be a private launch ceremony...

24-meter Drettmann Explorer Yacht (DEY) Launched By Drettmann Yachts

This yacht is designed as an explorer type vessel and as cute as she appears in design, the 135-tonne yacht is built as a no-nonsense small ship but with all the creature-comforts, not sacrificing luxury as a result of being an explorer...

C-Force 50 By Admiral Yachts To Launch In February 2016
One of the yachts currently under construction by Admiral Yachts in Italy is the Admiral CF50. This particular yacht is poised to be launched in a bit over two months in February of 2016. The four-deck superyacht has a wonderful design that was achieved via collaboration by Centro Stile and UNIElle Yacht design. Being built with a steel hull and aluminium alloy superstructure this yacht is sure to turn heads when completed. One of the notable features in the design is the wall of glass used in the midships area. It showcases true floor-to-ceiling window design. The traditional area of the master suite –forward on the main deck- has very large vertical windows too on either side. Whoever sleeps in this room will be living in royalty...

Princess Yachts 30M "Kohuba" On Sea Trials

It appears that her name is "Kohuba" and the first hull in the new 30M series is already conducting sea trials. Princess Yachts isn't playing around with this one as they need to get her ready for her world premiere at the Dusseldorf Boat Show in Germany in January next year.

50-meter Project 'Alba' Sold At Heesen
Construction is apace on one of the newest 50-meter projects Dutch luxury yacht builder Heesen is building. This one is going by the name 'Alba' -that's just the Project name though-. She is being built as YN18050 in all-aluminum with a sleek design by Omega Architects. The interior on the other hand is by a now familiar name with these 50-meter Heesen builds - Paszkowski ring a bell?- That's right, Francesco Paszkowski is once again tasked with designing the interior of this new yacht. The signing now represents the third 50-meter of this particular hull he has been appointed to design...

The yacht is going to a repeat client of the yard who has had two previous yachts from the yard to date.

Since the owner is from Germany, the yard has collaborated with German designer Beiderbeck to create a design pleasing to the repeat client...
First 30M Launches At Princess Yachts
There have been a couple of new launches at Princess Yachts recently and one of them is the first hull in the new 30M series. The 30M series was only announced at the Cannes Yachting Festival last year, that would have been in September 2014. Thus, just over one year later we have the first hull in the flesh launched. She showcases a dark coloured hull with a contrasting white superstructure -fairly traditional in paint scheme-...
New E56XO Model Unveiled By Horizon Yachts
Horizon Yachts is delighted to announce a brand new model called the E56XO. You’d be right if you thought it had anything to do with their very popular E56 model. In fact the E56XO is based directly off the E56 using its widespread appeal while working towards those who like the more sporty form-factor. Horizon says the E56XO has been designed primarily for the Australian market but it is easy to see how this yacht could easily have world-wide appeal...
