2023 Ft. Lauderdale International Boat Show
The 2023 edition of the Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show (FLIBS) is underway running from the 25th to the 29th of October. Twenty years ago we began doing live coverage of FLIBS; walking the docks by day, uploading news by night. As the Internet and the 24-hour news cycle evolved, our daily coverage of the yachting industry became a worldwide digital boat show. Today, our daily attendance exceeds FLIBS, Monaco or Cannes. There is no parking fee, no entrance fee and your feet will never tire from walking our docks...

eVTOL and Personal Flight Vehicles for Yachts
We just returned from the NBAA jet aviation convention in Las Vegas. The eVTOL and electric segment is poised to revolutionize short range commuting. Our biggest take-away from the show is personal aviation could be quickly adapted in the yachting sector. This means you won't need a 50-meter plus boat to carry a helicopter. In fact, the aft-deck on a 25-meter boat may be adequate for Personal Flight Vehicles or PFVs. One of the more interesting concepts has roots in the marine industry and is one of the latest features at JetForums. The Cycletech CruiseUp uses a Voith Schneider Propulsion system for directional thrust resulting in some unique aerobatic capabilities.....

This yacht design is part of Juno family which consists of a 33-meter this 71-meter and the large 106-meter Juno...

Evo Yachts Premieres New Evo R+
The new Evo R+ is the latest addition to the R line from Evo yachts. The yard has released images of the latest iteration and we get to explore what this new yacht has to offer. At 18-meters in length (approximately 60-feet), it has a beam in the region of 5.31-meters (17.5-feet). Construction of the Evo R+ is in light materials and black aluminum is used for the superstructure. In line with Evo Yachts’ typical style, the edgy black aluminum top heightens the appeal of a profile that echoes sports car design. The sleekly contoured helm station is completely surrounded by windows that fill it with light like the entire Main Deck, offering a 360-degree view and featuring openings designed to provide natural ventilation. This model comes just two years after the brand launched its Evo V8 flagship. The R+ made its world premiere at the 2023 Cannes Yachting Festival in September...

Project 'MED' Revealed By De Basto Designs
De Basto Designs has taken the wraps off their latest concept called Project 'MED'. It is a 92-meter superyacht with a gravity-defying superstructure as its main distinguishing feature. The hull design from De Basto is more-or-less conventional but the superstructure goes against the grain of convention with its shape and also its illusionary suspension from the hull...
New Brand Emerges With First Yacht Design
It has been recently revealed that the subcontracting builder of the hulls and superstructures for superyacht companies like Oceanco and Feadship is now branching out and endeavouring to build its own yachts. We are referring to Zwijnenburg Yachting. They in collaboration with Mannerfelt Design from Sweden are teaming up to form Atla Yachts.

Yacht Concepts at 2023 Monaco Show
Each year new concepts are generated to be presented at the Monaco Yacht Show (MYS). In this instance we look at some of the concepts that are due to be officially unveiled and presented at this years show, which starts this week in Monaco. The first is a concept called 'WAVES' which is a 93-meter superyacht design by Spanish designer Daroca Design in collaboration with Bolidt. Yes, the Bolidt that makes flooring solutions in the maritime industry. Bolidt is part of the design mix because they are proposing their synthetic flooring solutions onboard WAVES instead of the traditional teak flooring. The synthetic decking is to be used on this design in two distinct flooring patterns but overall, the material enjoys "unlimited design possibilities". Daroca Design implemented many big superyacht features to the design including a large aft pool with cascading waterfall element...
Ultimate Catamarans Introduce Spaceline 88
Ultimate Catamarans is a company based in Germany with its facilities in Croatia. The company is known for building aluminium-based catamarans from approximately 21-meters through to 45-meters. Their line of catamarans is known as the Spaceline range. The latest addition to the Spaceline range is the Spaceline 88 which is a 26.7-meter power cat. For a monohull, 26.7-meters is considered fairly small but because the vessel is a twin-hull configuration, the onboard space is significantly greater than any monohull of the same hull length...
X-Plorer Yachts Project Orion
This is the design of a 40-meter power catamaran. As far as we know it is not under construction but can be built if a client comes on board with the project. It is a 39.9-meter aluminum power cat to be built by X-Plorer Yachts based in Australia. However, it appears the yard is looking for another yard in Australia to build the project. Project Orion (GC40) as it is currently known as creates luxury living on the water across four decks and given that it is a catamaran platform, internal volume will be handy. It should be noted that no major specifications were available at the time of publishing...
New Astondoa Ax8 Crossover
A few months ago Astondoa revealed the Astondoa Ax8 Crossover yacht. That yacht is now making its debuts at the Autumn boat and yacht shows. The yard announced that it will be making its world premiere at the Genoa International Boat Show -which is currently underway September 21-26-.
