Why Gulf clients are widening their charter ambitions

Why Gulf clients are widening their charter ambitions

December 4, 2025
1:27 am

A Master Scuba Diver, sailor and superyacht charterer, Yousuf Al Hashimi of Phoenix Yacht Management explains in his Issue 86 Column why Middle East clients are increasingly looking beyond the world’s traditional charter hubs to Asia and beyond.

Over the past decade, charter activity among Gulf clients has evolved from a seasonal indulgence into a more deliberate and globally mobile form of travel. Privacy, comfort and impeccable service remain the foundation of every decision, but expectations have matured.

As Managing Director and Partner of Phoenix Yacht Management, I have observed that today’s clients are no longer content with predictable routes or standard itineraries. They seek experiences that combine precision, authenticity and a sense of purpose, whether in the Mediterranean, the Indian Ocean or the farthest reaches of the Indo-Pacific.

The financial profile of this market remains significant. The number of active charterers from the Middle East may be limited, but their contribution in value terms is substantial. Many charter the largest yachts available – typically in the 60m-plus range – and they expect absolute flexibility, privacy and bespoke arrangements as part of the service.

Crew quality remains critical. Multilingual capability, cultural awareness and the ability to anticipate preferences are valued as much as technical skill. Many clients request wellness professionals, dive instructors or chefs able to interpret regional cuisines.

Environmental responsibility is another area gaining traction. Sustainability is viewed less as ideology and more as evidence of professionalism. Clients are increasingly aware of hybrid propulsion, efficient energy systems and responsible waste management. A yacht that operates cleanly and intelligently reflects the same values that guests apply to other areas of their lifestyle.

For clients based in the Middle East, the Gulf itself remains primarily a base for ownership rather than a cruising destination. Oman is the consistent exception, with its dramatic, secluded coastline now attracting those seeking something different without travelling far. Government initiatives across the region are gradually expanding marina infrastructure and support services, signalling steady progress for the future.

DISRUPTING THE RHYTHM

For a long time, charter patterns among Middle Eastern clients followed a predictable rhythm: Mediterranean itineraries during the summer and the Caribbean over the winter season. That framework still applies, but within it, new dynamics are emerging.

The Caribbean remains the preferred winter destination, largely because of its established infrastructure, reliable weather and concentration of leading international yachts. However, we now see a gradual diversification of winter itineraries as clients increasingly look east. The Indo-Pacific – particularly Thailand, the Seychelles and Indonesia – now attracts growing interest, with a steady rise in requests for expedition-style programmes and extended voyages.

In recent seasons, there has been notable demand for Indonesia’s phinisi yachts, the iconic handcrafted wooden vessels that blend traditional Indonesian design with modern superyacht comfort. Guests experience diving in Raja Ampat, swimming with manta rays and whale sharks in Komodo, and beach landings on volcanic islands.

In the Indian Ocean, fishing itineraries in the Seychelles and Madagascar remain established favourites, combining sportfishing with the privacy and comfort of a superyacht. In the Seychelles, marlin, sailfish and giant trevally dominate seasonal pursuits, while Madagascar offers a more untamed, frontier experience, with deep-sea and reef fishing interwoven with snorkelling and island exploration.

Further east, long-range voyages across French Polynesia and Papua New Guinea are gaining attention, often built around wellness, photography and quiet immersion in pristine environments.

This year, we organised a long-range superyacht expedition to Alaska. It was a journey of ice fjords, wildlife and extraordinary biodiversity, delivered with the same comfort and refinement expected aboard a modern yacht.

Interest in Antarctica, which entered the charter scene a few years ago when several explorer yachts spent a season there, has yet to attract significant interest among Middle Eastern clients. Nevertheless, we aim to introduce it to the regional market, as these expeditions represent the next frontier in experiential luxury.

PERSONAL EXPERIENCE

I am myself an example of a Middle Eastern charterer embracing this category. Each year, I explore some of the most remote corners of the planet to experience life from a different perspective.

Among the most memorable journeys was a week-long charter in the Philippines aboard a Japanese fishing vessel converted into a dive ship. We explored the Tubbataha Reefs, about 90nm from any land, diving with hammerhead sharks and drifting along untouched coral walls.

Sperm whales in Dominica

I also spent five days aboard a converted oil platform near Sipadan, an extraordinary base for some of the world’s most exceptional diving. I’ve swum with sperm whales in Dominica and blue whales off Sri Lanka, and visited Socotra, an extraordinary Yemeni island in the Indian Ocean. True luxury today lies not in comfort alone but in the ability to reach what few have seen – safely and with purpose.

The evolution of Middle Eastern charter clients marks a decisive step in the global maturity of the yachting sector. As they look beyond established cruising grounds, they set a new operational benchmark for luxury yachting – driven not by scale but technical performance and competence, cultural awareness and the ability to deliver flawless service in any environment.

For professionals within the sector, this progression demands the same qualities valued by the clients themselves – discretion, discipline and the confidence to perform to the highest standard wherever the voyage may lead.

Asia bound: Azimut’s first Grande 30M

Asia bound: Azimut’s first Grande 30M

December 3, 2025
1:05 pm

The Grande 30M is the first all-new Azimut yacht with an m2atelier interior. The first fitted with Rolls-Royce’s new mtu pod propulsion. And the first to feature both the Deck2Deck™ and ‘Infinity Skydeck’ concepts. Best of all, hull one is coming to Hong Kong.
Words: John Higginson; Photos: Azimut

Azimut’s first Grande 30M is owned by a Hong Kong customer

It’s always exciting to tour a new model making its world premiere. Doing it at the Cannes Yachting Festival makes it even more special. And knowing that the first hull is headed to Asia adds an extra layer of excitement. Add in being guided on the tour by the dealership that sold the yacht, and it felt like the stars were aligning.

The Grande 30M was one of Azimut’s two world premieres at the 48th Cannes Yachting Festival. However, unlike the Fly 82, which was only confirmed just ahead of the show, the Grande 30M had been announced as a 2025 debutant two years earlier, along with the news that the first hull had been sold into to Hong Kong by Marine Italia Asia.

Adding to the anticipation, the Grande 30M was the first all-new model by Azimut to feature an interior by m2atelier. The studio co-founded by Italian Marco Bonelli and Serbian Marijana Radovic is based in Milan, just two hours’ drive north of where the yacht made its Italy debut, at the 2025 Genoa International Boat Show, just days after its Cannes showing.

The long flybridge stretches as far aft as the main deck and reaches forward almost to the bow

The m2atelier studio worked in tandem with exterior designer Alberto Mancini, who was designing his fourth Grande superyacht for Azimut, after the 38m flagship Grande Trideck that debuted at Cannes in 2021 and the Grande 36M and 26M models that followed a year later.

For the Grande 30M, the Monaco-based Italian – who also works on Azimut’s Fly, S and Seadeck lines – has continued the look and feel of his earlier Grande designs, which are more forward-heavy than the versions developed by the late Stefano Righini.

Only a touch over 94ft, the Grande 30M makes the most of its LOA with an almost full-length flybridge that stretches as far aft as the main deck, a design also seen on the Grande 36M and 26M.

Furthermore, the Grande 30M also features the key innovation from both yachts: the Deck2Deck™ cockpit extension introduced on the Grande 26M, and the Grande 36M’s ‘Infinity Skydeck’, reimagined on the Grande 30M as the ‘Rooftop Lounge’ on an a fully walkaround flybridge.

The cockpit is shown with the Deck2Deck™ aft extension, while the ‘Infinity Deck’ skylounge is openable aft and on both sides

“It has tremendous volume and deck space for a 30m yacht, more akin to the previous and larger Azimut Grande 32M,” says Paul Grange, COO of Marine Italia Asia. “The yacht’s owner is a very experienced and repeat Azimut client who also owns an S model and plans to keep the Grande 30M in Sai Kung.”

STRONG PLATFORM

Azimut again teamed up with Pierluigi Ausonio Naval Architecture (PLANA) to develop the yacht’s double-chine, D2P (displacement to planing) hull with a wave-piercing bow, a platform that has proven so successful on other Grande models.

However, the aft section was slightly different as the Grande 30M is the series’ first to feature Rolls-Royce’s new propulsion system featuring two mtu engines and pod drives. The 1,800hp engines deliver a top speed of 25 knots and a cruising speed of 20, while the pod drives help improve manoeuvrability and create more space on the lower deck.

The cockpit includes longitudinal sofas and an adjustable table

This includes space for an aft garage to store a RIB lengthways. Forward of the garage, there’s also a horizontal room that can house a jetski athwartships, although the owner of hull one has chosen to use this space for storage.

The swim platform spans most of the yacht’s 24ft-beam and has a central high-low section to help deploy the tender. Another moving part in the stern is the garage door, which folds upwards to a horizontal level to create the Deck2Deck™ feature and extend the aft cockpit on the main deck by several feet. Aside from this extension, the entire cockpit is covered by the flybridge.

When the Deck2Deck™ is deployed, it allows for loose furniture to be placed there, potentially facing out to sea. Alternatively, the space can be used for extra seats at the end of the long table, which can be electrically raised and folded out to create a formal alfresco dining area for up to 10 guests.

The m2atelier interior design includes a saloon with full-height glazing and see-through connectivity to the cockpit

“The Deck2Deck™ extension and longitudinal sofas instead of an aft sofa transforms the connectivity between the cockpit and interior, while also improving the visage for all guests,” Grange says.

M2ATELIER ERA

The Grande 30M wasn’t the first completed Azimut to feature an m2atelier interior. Selected to succeed Achille Salvagni for interiors of Grande superyachts, the studio also redesigned the Grande Trideck and Grande 36M, with the first examples – hulls 30 and 23 respectively – shown at Cannes and now offered on all current orders.

However, the Grande 30M was the first Azimut yacht that the studio worked on from inception, in tandem with Mancini. As revealed in an interview with the studio’s co-founders and Federico Lantero, Azimut’s Head of Product Design, m2atelier is not solely working on interiors but also internal architecture as well as outdoor furniture and features.

Forward view of the saloon, featuring seating on either side of the central walkway to the dining area

As the yacht used for the model’s world premiere, the first hull is very much a showcase unit for m2atelier, without the level of customisation available to owners of subsequent hulls. According to Grange, the owner of hull one liked the proposed design and embraced it. The studio’s emphasis on what has been described as ‘barefoot luxury’ is evident in a relaxed décor focused on light woods, creams, greys and whites.

The architectural influence is evident in the saloon, where there’s a clear flow within a generally symmetrical arrangement. Azimut typically offers inlaid carpets, but on hull one it features long, hexagonal overlaid carpets on each side of a central walkway to an ingenious triangular table whose shape has been better described by Azimut as a guitar pick or plectrum.

Between the hexagonal carpets and triangular table, m2atelier’s emphasis on geometry and angles provide an immediate distinction to Salvagni’s focus on circles, curves and freestyle shaping.

Shaped like a guitar pick, the triangular dining table allows for direct flow to hallways on both sides of the feature wall

The table’s triangular shape naturally creates diagonal walkways to either side of the ‘feature wall’, providing port access to the upper deck stairs and galley, while to starboard is the day head, lower-deck stairs and master suite. Not only does the table take up less space but it works superbly for guest and crew flow.

FURTHER FEATURES

The feature wall is a common feature of m2atelier’s designs for Azimut. On the Grande 30M, the forward wall has a slatted appearance, with vertical grey, suede-covered strips fronting the mirrored surface on the middle and right panels.

Stairs up to the skylounge are partially hidden by the ‘feature wall’

However, on the left third of the ‘feature wall’, the glass is see-through, allowing more natural light to illuminate the ‘floating’ steps – attached only on the forward end – to the upper deck. The staircase acts as an atrium-style feature that helps illuminate the lower-deck stairs underneath. Although hull one represents m2atelier’s showcase version, Azimut proposes customisable options for décor and furniture on subsequent orders.

On the first hull, one notable customisation is the day head, which has been cleverly designed to double as a shower room for ease of access and convenience for day guests. It’s almost unnoticeable. Talking of unnoticeable, I had to ask if there was a television in the saloon. There is. It’s a drop-down version hidden in the ceiling on the starboard side.

Forward view from the master-suite entrance (above); starboard view of the full-beam bedroom with forward bathroom (below)

Forward, the entrance to the master suite is flanked by wardrobes. The full-beam bedroom has a central double bed facing forward to a mirrored TV on the aft side of the shower in the centre of the full-width bathroom.

TOP AND BOTTOM

On the lower deck, the four en-suite guest cabins comprise two VIPs midships, both with inward-facing beds, while forward of them are two smaller guest cabins with the option of sliding twin beds. The forward crew quarters, accessible from the galley, include a dinette, washer-drier, two cabins with bunks, a shared bathroom, and an en-suite captain’s cabin.

Forward view of the skylounge, which includes an elegant bar area

The Grande 30M’s crowning glory is the flybridge. At the centre is an enclosable skylounge, with sliding doors on both sides and aft, a feature introduced on the Grande 36M, which had a semi-walkaround upper deck.

On the Grande 30M, the skylounge includes facing sofas aft and a bar forward, while the open aft deck has space for loose furniture. In Cannes, the space was shown with an island sunpad with moveable backrests plus three sunloungers at the aft end.

The flybridge has a full walkaround design, but instead of ‘side decks’, the extra-wide walkways to the forward area feel more like promenades and are almost social spaces in themselves. When all the skylounge doors are opened, the overall effect on the top deck is simply remarkable. And there’s more to see.

Aft and port view of the skylounge, which can be opened to the aft deck and both extra-wide side decks

Forward of the pilothouse is the foredeck, which has a low hexagonal bar/drinks unit aft of an intricately shaped sofa and a large sofa-cum-sunpad area with moveable backrests. There’s also the option of a spa pool on the top deck, which would typically be proposed in the foredeck, where guests enjoy a clear sightline to sea, over a sunken technical area in the forepeak. Biminis and removeable poles can provide shade at both ends of the flybridge.

“One of the biggest challenges of having an enclosed flybridge is that it can be too enclosed,” Grange says. “This yacht has a spectacular upper lounge that opens on all three sides and offers a unique, vast feeling of space when you move around the top deck.”

A triumphant first collaboration between Mancini and m2atelier, the Azimut Grande 30M showed off its assets during its world premiere. And for Yacht Style readers who missed it in Cannes and Genoa, the Asia premiere is up next.

Wellness Experiences Are the New Luxury Gifts

November 27, 2025
2:36 pm

The rise of wellness tourism signals a shift in both travel and gifting, as consumers increasingly seek restorative luxury experiences.

By Sanjeeva Suresh

As global wellness tourism surpasses SGD 1 trillion, mindful experiences have begun to reshape travel behaviour as both domestic and international travellers increasingly seek restorative experiences. Hotels, resorts and tourist destinations are responding with their own immersive offerings that see a combination of personalised services within unique environments alongside holistic spa rituals and nature-led adventures. From destination-based retreats to nature-led adventures and holistic spa rituals, these experiences transform gifts into lasting memories, offering a rare combination of indulgence and purpose. LUXUO explores how curated wellness experiences are displacing objects as the preferred form of gifting, redefining value as exclusivity over possession with four Singapore and four international wellness escapes.

Singapore-Based Wellness Experiences

New St. Gregory Wellness Centre

The newly refurbished St. Gregory offers a fully connected wellness floor combining spa therapies, fitness, hydrotherapy and mindfulness under one roof. Guests can explore everything from sound baths and Reiki to neuroscience-based sleep technology, all designed to enhance recovery and focus. Traditional Chinese and Indonesian therapies are also central to the programme, delivered by certified practitioners to ensure authenticity and efficacy.

The centre’s design furthers the sense of retreat, with earthy tones, natural textures, greenery and celestial-inspired lighting that create calm in the middle of the city. Facilities are flexible and versatile, from a gym with dedicated zones for strength, cardio and reformative training to an outdoor pool that doubles as a venue for yoga or intimate events. St. Gregory reflects a broader shift in luxury gifting. By offering curated experiences that combine science, tradition and sensory indulgence, it positions wellness as a meaningful and memorable gift, perfectly suited to today’s time-poor but experience-hungry luxury consumer.

The relaunch at PARKROYAL on Beach Road is part of PPHG’s broader Asset Enhancement Initiative (AEI). A key focus of the initiative is to rejuvenate its wellness offerings across all St. Gregory facilities. This includes curated partnerships with premium wellness brands like ELEMIS and Thalion, as well as a renewed commitment to staff training to ensure best-in-class service across the group. St. Gregory is the only one in Singapore that uses the Thalion brand, which is known for harnessing the therapeutic properties of the sea while making its products highly compatible with human skin, offering exceptional tolerability and bio-affinity.

Mandai Rainforest Resort by Banyan Tree

Marking the grand opening of Banyan Group’s 100th hotel worldwide — and its very first in Singapore — this milestone symbolises a triumphant homecoming to the Lion City. From 27 November to 3 December 2025, visitors can immerse themselves in restorative yoga sessions, sound healing, guided nature walks and family-friendly activities that connect body, mind and environment. The festival also features culinary masterclasses, including a limited-time Thai and Peranakan four-hands dining experience, turning gastronomy itself into a sensorial gift.

Beyond indulgence, the event embodies purpose-driven luxury: all proceeds from festival tickets will be matched by Banyan Tree and donated to the President’s Challenge, adding a philanthropic dimension to the experience. With guided wellness sessions and opportunities to engage with founders in dialogue sessions, the festival transforms traditional gifting into an offering of time, wellbeing and discovery, perfectly suited for the discerning luxury consumer.

RXV Wellness Village’s Eight New Integrative Programmes

RXV Wellness Village in Thailand is introducing eight new integrative wellness programmes from 1 November 2025 to 31 October 2026, designed to make holistic wellbeing accessible for all ages. Set across the 50-acre Suan Sampran Heritage estate along the Tha Chin River, the village combines modern diagnostics with traditional therapies to restore balance to body, mind and lifestyle. Guests can choose programmes tailored to their needs, from enhancing skin radiance and posture through treatments like INDIBA Face Lifting, Cryosauna, Hair and Scalp Massage and advanced facial therapies, to stress relief with private crystal sound healing, botanical aromatherapy, mindfulness Tai Chi, hyperbaric oxygen therapy and Thai eye remedies.

Detox-focused journeys incorporate belly and gut therapies, Thai botanical breathing remedies, mineral salt compresses, myofascial release and colon hydrotherapy, while mindfulness sessions offer guided mandala work, Ayurvedic massage, breathwork and sound healing to support emotional clarity. Physical Rebalance programmes combine Thai Warrior and Ayurvedic massages, postural analysis, metabolic booster IV therapy, regenerative exercise and active recovery techniques and fully personalised journeys are available with comprehensive health assessments and treatment credits to curate a bespoke experience.

Families can engage children aged six and above with playful wellness activities including crafting mandalas, kite painting, gentle yoga and brain activation exercises, while extended-stay Wellness Escape programmes allow travellers and digital nomads to immerse themselves over eight nights or more in the village’s therapies and riverside surroundings. All programmes include accommodation, full-board wellness meals, diagnostic consultations, personalised treatments, daily activities and hydrotherapy access, with pre-arrival plans tailored to each guest’s personal health goals.

Sentosa’s New Wellbeing Brand Campaign

Sentosa has launched a new brand direction — “Discover your element in ours” — to position the island as a sanctuary for wellbeing and reconnection through nature. Spanning 500 hectares and located just 15 minutes from Singapore’s city centre, the island invites guests to engage with its natural elements of sun, sand, sea, nature and biodiversity, offering opportunities for micro-restoration that support both physical and mental balance.

The campaign draws on neuroscience-backed research into the restorative effects of nature, encouraging visitors to ground themselves in sand, flow with water, energise under the sun and centre within the island’s greenery. Sentosa’s approach goes beyond conventional wellness tourism, focusing on everyday reconnection and emotional recalibration, while its updated brand film and sensory-led creative materials highlight moments of personal discovery and immersive experiences across the island. This positioning aligns with growing public interest in wellbeing and work-life balance, emphasising the importance of time spent outdoors and away from screens.

International Wellness Experiences:

As part of Hyatt’s wider Asia Pacific Wellbeing Strategy, Park Hyatt Kuala Lumpur reflects the region’s commitment to elevating spa and fitness experiences through evidence-based programming, design innovation and measurable outcomes. The property introduces Park Hyatt’s next generation “Living Spa” philosophy, where treatments evolve with natural rhythms and wellbeing is seamlessly integrated across the hotel guest journey.

Spa Valmont Pour Le Meurice’s New Spa Experience

Spa Valmont Pour Le Meurice in Paris has launched a new wellness offering that pairs spa treatments with a Parisian afternoon tea experience. Guests begin in the spa’s wellness area with access to the sauna, hammam, and relaxation lounge, followed by a 60-minute massage tailored to their preference, whether relaxing, Swedish, deep tissue, or fully personalised. The experience then continues at Restaurant Le Dalí, where pastry chef Cedric Grolet presents a curated menu of finger sandwiches, delicate pastries and hot beverages.

Designed for two, the Cocooning Afternoon Tea combines restorative therapies with culinary refinement, offering a balanced interlude of relaxation and indulgence. The experience is available by reservation from 5 January 2026 and can be purchased as a gift card, which includes a complimentary candle with each purchase. By integrating signature spa rituals with an elegant afternoon tea, Spa Valmont Pour Le Meurice creates a layered experience that blends wellbeing, sensory pleasure and Parisian refinement, making it a thoughtful option for gifting or shared moments of restoration.

New Zealand’s Great Outdoors

New Zealand invites travellers to reconnect with nature and adventure through its expansive network of trails, cycling routes and running events. From gentle coastal walks and beginner-friendly cycling loops to multi-day hikes and technical trail races, the country offers experiences suited to all levels, whether families seeking leisurely activity, solo travellers, or seasoned athletes pursuing personal challenges. Across Aotearoa, more than 1,555 walking and hiking tracks, 11 Great Walks, and 23 Great Rides traverse coastlines, forests, alpine peaks, and volcanic valleys, offering a combination of natural beauty and cultural insight.

Active escapes in New Zealand include both organised events and self-paced adventures. The Hawke’s Bay Marathon in May 2026 guides runners through vineyards, orchards, and coastal paths, finishing at Elephant Hill Estate & Winery with a festival atmosphere. Race Tekapo in September offers alpine courses set against Lake Tekapo’s dramatic scenery and access to the International Dark Sky Reserve.

Sanlorenzo reveals 58Steel

November 27, 2025
1:58 pm

Designed by Zuccon International Project, the successor to the 57Steel features an all-new diesel-electric hybrid propulsion system.

Sanlorenzo has delivered the first 58Steel, Perla Lunar, with a second unit already in production. Featuring an overall length of 58.25m and an 11.25m beam, the new 1,165GT tri-deck has been described by the Italian shipyard as “a refined and extended successor to the acclaimed 57Steel”.

Zuccon International Project designed the exteriors of the 58Steel, which is based on a new platform with an expanded beam and includes diesel-electric hybrid technology that enables zero-emissions cruising.

Massimo Perotti, Sanlorenzo’s Executive Chairman, said: “The 58Steel embodies the belief of a superyacht that redefines proportion, privacy and performance, offering a new dimension of silent, sustainable cruising. It represents our ambition to remain the benchmark in yachts up to 2,000GT, with our expanded steel line now spanning six individual superyachts that set the standard for design and desirability.”

At the stern of the 58Steel, the beach club opens on three sides and includes a bar, hammam, gym and beauty salon. On the main deck, the aft cockpit is dominated by a large infinity pool, while the interior includes the main saloon and a ‘Supreme VIP’ suite. The lower deck includes two full-beam VIP cabins and two more guest cabins, and the crew quarters forward.

The forward part of the upper deck is dedicated to the owner and includes a panoramic, full-beam bedroom with full-height glazing facing a foredeck terrace with a pool. Other aspects of the owner’s area include an office, dressing area, spa bathroom and a lounge or saloon that can be converted into a private cinema.

The upper deck also includes an aft deck suitable for alfresco dining, while the sundeck includes open social areas aft and the wheelhouse.

Main-deck saloon

The yacht’s interiors, crafted by Sanlorenzo’s Style Department, feature a warm, tactile colour palette combining dark woods with Calacatta Borghini marble, mother-of-pearl, and champagne-finished accents.

The diesel-electric propulsion system is the first of its kind in Sanlorenzo’s steel line, enabling up to two hours of silent cruising or up to eight hours of zero-emissions hotel operations at anchor. The system is based on five 425kW generators and a 1MWh-capacity battery pack, while pods with rotating propellers improve manoeuvrability and reduce vibration and noise.

Upper-deck saloon

The entire engine room has been re-engineered to occupy a single deck, freeing up more than 40sqm of space to expand the guest and beach areas.

Tommaso Vincenzi, Sanlorenzo’s CEO, said: “With its diesel-electric propulsion system at the core, the 58Steel unlocks new horizons of freedom: more space, more light, greater efficiency and a profound connection to the sea.”

Owner’s suite

The Italian shipyard launched its first metal superyacht, the 40Alloy, in 2010. Its current Superyacht collection includes the Alloy (44.5m), 500Exp (47m), 44X-Space, 50X-Space, 50Steel, 52Steel, 57Steel, 58Steel, 64Steel and 74Steel, with the launch of hull one of the flagship announced in early October.

Hong Kong hosts record Wakefest

November 27, 2025
12:33 pm

Title sponsored by Nautique, this year’s IWWF Asia Wakefest Hong Kong was held in a new venue and set new participation records.

This year’s Nautique IWWF Asia Wakefest Hong Kong shattered participation records, attracting 182 athletes from 12 different countries and regions. It was the first time an event aside from a World Championship had hosted over 10 national delegations, another indication of the event’s growing significance on the global stage.

Organised by the Hong Kong China Wakesports Association (HKCWA), the three-day event in November was held for the first time in the waters off Shing Fung Road Park, along the former airport runway, which gave athletes and spectators a view of the new Kai Tak Stadium.

Asia Yachting, the official Hong Kong dealer of title sponsor Nautique, again supplied a Nautique G23 as the competition’s official tow boat. “Renowned for its perfect wake and industry-leading performance, the Nautique G23 provided athletes with the ideal conditions to push the boundaries of the sport,” the dealership stated.

The event concluded with a closing banquet and an awards ceremony honouring the top athletes across various categories.

Kelly Yeung, Asia Yachting’s Senior Marketing Manager, said: “We are deeply encouraged by the growing momentum behind Asian wakesports. The steady growth in athlete numbers and spectator interest demonstrates the sport’s bright future.

Pearl 82 arrives in Thailand

November 27, 2025
12:26 pm

The first Pearl 82 in Thailand has arrived, with the 25m flybridge motoryacht residing at Ocean Marina Jomtien.

Pearl Yachts has announced the arrival of a new Pearl 82 motoryacht in Thailand, signifying the brand’s entry into the Southeast Asian yachting market. The flybridge motoryacht’s home port will be at the 450-berth Ocean Marina Jomtien, Southeast Asia’s largest marina.

Iain Smallridge, Pearl’s Managing Director, said: “The arrival of the first Pearl 82 in Thailand heralds a new era for our brand in Asia. It is a tangible testament to our vision of exporting boutique British craftsmanship and sophisticated design to a global stage. We are not merely selling yachts; we are offering a unique ownership experience.

“Our strategy is one of focused growth, maintaining our identity as a builder of a limited number of high-quality yachts, each one a masterpiece of innovation. Seeing a Pearl grace the world-class cruising grounds of Thailand is the perfect realisation of this vision.”

Designed by Bill Dixon with interiors styled by Kelly Hoppen CBE, the Pearl 82 has been described by the shipyard as the “most compact superyacht on the market” and can reach 32 knots with the standard option of twin 1,650hp MAN engines.

Unusually for a yacht of this size, the Pearl 82 boasts a main-deck master suite, which also has access to a private foredeck terrace. The lower deck includes four guest cabins and accommodation for three crew forward of the engine room.

Owners can choose from two aft cockpit layouts: Veranda, with two facing sofas arranged lengthways, or Riviera, with a large island sunpad and fold-down balconies on both sides.

The raised pilothouse model also features a flybridge featuring a sliding hardtop, C-shaped dinette for alfresco dining, wet bar, optional hot tub and sunpads. The Pearl 82 includes a garage that can carry a Williams SportJet 345 tender, Sea-Doo Spark jetski and Seabob.

Custom Line to debut Saetta 128’ in 2026

Custom Line to debut Saetta 128’ in 2026

November 27, 2025
12:17 pm

SY Design is responsible for the exterior styling of the 40m planing yacht as the Bologna-based studio collaborates with Ferretti Group for the first time.

Custom Line is scheduled to launch the first Saetta 128’ at the Ferretti Group Superyacht Yard in Ancona in 2026. The 128’ will be Custom Line’s first new model since Saetta – meaning lightning or bolt – was introduced as the name of the brand’s planing series, which is produced alongside the Navetta displacement line and aluminium alloy builds like the flagship Custom Line 50.

The Saetta 128’ is also the Ferretti Group’s first collaboration with SY Design, which is responsible for the yacht’s trapezoid-inspired exterior styling. ACPV Architects – led by co-founders Antonio Citterio and Patricia Viel – handles the interior, having worked on the brand’s yachts since the Navetta 30.

Both studios collaborated on the Saetta 128’ with Ferretti Group’s Product Strategy and Engineering departments, while the Custom Line Atelier in-house team defines the spaces, style and customisation of each yacht ordered by customers.

SY Design was co-founded in 2022 by Matteo Sassone and Veronica Yien. Sassone spent the previous nine years at Francesco Paszkowski Design, the studio responsible for the exterior of the Saetta 106’, Saetta 120’, Saetta 140’ and previous Custom Line planing yachts.

A tri-deck design, like the Saetta 140’, the Saetta 128’ has an overall length of 39.8m, a beam of 7.7m and a sub-300GT volume.

Sassone stated: “We were hugely motivated by the challenge of creating a new tri-deck model but one with sporty, dynamic lines because the Saetta 128’ has a planing hull. Our goal was to innovate the distinctive features of the range and integrate new character traits that can act as a springboard for the future.”

Equipped with two 2,638hp mtu M96L engines, the yacht is predicted to have a top speed of 22 knots and a cruising speed of 19 knots, with a 1,000nm range at 11 knots. Cruising comfort is optimised by trim interceptors and stabiliser fins, with gyroscopic stabilisers available to further reduce rolling.

In terms of layouts, the main deck includes a 33sqm cockpit, 40 sqm saloon and dining area, galley to port and starboard access to the 37sqm owner’s suite, while the lower deck includes four guest cabins and accommodation for six crew.

The upper deck features a 20sqm skylounge that can be opened on both sides and aft, where it leads out to a 40sqm aft deck. Forward of the wheelhouse is a welcoming social area with two facing C-shaped sofas and an optional whirlpool tub. Outdoor areas continue on the 30sqm sundeck, which can be fitted with a large sunbathing area forward and a seating area aft.

For interior décor, ACPV offers Perfect and Classic ‘mood’ options. Perfect includes chocolate and mocha-coloured lacquer, fine walnut and maple parquet for the floors, white marble and ivory wallpaper, while Classic features woods such as oak and wallpapers with a more linear pattern.

“The interior design is perfectly in sync with the signature sleek hull lines of the Saetta Line,” said co-founder Patricia Viel. “The flowing design of the window frames and ceiling cut-outs, taken together with the sleek lines of the custom-built furnishings and freestanding pieces, gives the project a strong sense of dynamism.

“The construction details are at once basic and refined, featuring exquisite cabinetry and a meticulously tailored approach. The clean, pared-down lines tap into tradition, reinterpreted through contemporary language and timeless elegance.”

The Saetta 128’ can be certified according to IMO Tier III regulations by implementing an SCR (Selective Catalytic Reduction) system that reduces nitrogen oxide (NOx) emissions by up to 70 per cent.

Giordano Pellacani, Ferretti Group’s CCO, said: “Custom Line Saetta 128’ perfectly embodies our approach to growth, raising the level of every project and in this case extending a hugely successful range while maximising its strong points.

“We want to offer Custom Line owners ever higher standards of well-being, liveability and personalisation of the onboard experience. Custom Line Saetta 128’ combines innovation, construction quality and meticulously tailored detailing in a magnificent tri-deck that is unique in the world of high-end yachting.”

Asiamarine representing Tecnomar for Lamborghini

November 27, 2025
11:55 am

The regional dealer’s growing new yachts portfolio now includes the fast-rising ‘sub-brand’ of The Italian Sea Group.

Tecnomar for Lamborghini 63

The Italian Sea Group has appointed Asiamarine as the authorised sales agent for Tecnomar for Lamborghini Yachts across 11 markets in Asia. The markets comprise four in Greater China (mainland China, Hong Kong, Macau and Taiwan) and seven in Southeast Asia (Singapore, Thailand, Malaysia, Indonesia, Philippines, Vietnam and Cambodia).

Asiamarine will officially announce the collaboration in a purpose-built Tecnomar for Lamborghini Yachts Lounge at the 2025 Hong Kong International Boat Show in Club Marina Cove from December 4-7.

The showcase will feature scale models of the Tecnomar for Lamborghini 63 accompanied by immersive design materials, performance briefings, a curated brand experience next to the Lamborghini-inspired cocktail bar, and a special display from long-term Lamborghini partner Roger Dubuis. In early 2026, Asiamarine will host private launch events in Bangkok and Singapore.

Tecnomar for Lamborghini 63

Eric Noyel, founder and CEO of Asiamarine, said: “Tecnomar for Lamborghini Yachts combines Italian engineering with a bold, emotional design language that resonates strongly in Asia. This partnership also complements our growing superyacht activities as the representative of Fraser in the region.

“With two decades of experience across sales, charter and management, Asiamarine is ideally positioned to support new owners seeking something truly distinctive.”

Gianmaria Costantino, Chief Commercial Officer and Board Member, The Italian Sea Group, added:

“Asia is a key region in our global expansion, and Asiamarine is the ideal partner to represent Tecnomar for Lamborghini Yachts. Their market knowledge, technical expertise and strong client relationships give us great confidence in this collaboration and in the brand’s long-term growth across these territories.”

Tecnomar for Lamborghini 101

The Italian Sea Group – whose brands include Admiral, Tecnomar, Perini Navi and Picchiotti, as well as NCA Refit – introduced the Lamborghini brand collaboration in 2020 by announcing the Tecnomar for Lamborghini 63, which Tecnomar also refers to as the LMB63. First launched in 2021, the 63-footer has already racked up over 35 units, with Conor McGregor among high-profile owners.

The sub-brand will extend its portfolio with the Tecnomar for Lamborghini 101, a sportbridge motoryacht featuring naval architecture by The Italian Sea Group and design by both Tecnomar Centro Stile and Lamborghini Centro Stile. Design inspiration for the 101-footer comes from Lamborghini’s new hybrid hypercar, Fenomeno, which sports the same shade of yellow.

Tecnomar for Lamborghini 101

Outfitting has begun on hull one, which is scheduled to debut in 2027. Fitted with three mtu 16V 2000 M96L engines, rated 2,600hp each, the yacht has an estimated top speed of 45 knots and cruising speed of 35 knots.

Raphael Sachs, Asiamarine’s Commercial Director and Brand Manager for Tecnomar for Lamborghini Yachts, said: “Tecnomar for Lamborghini Yachts delivers excitement and emotion unlike anything else in this segment. Our goal is to create an ownership journey that matches that energy, from the first interaction to long-term care.

“With dedicated events in Hong Kong, Bangkok and Singapore, we are establishing a solid foundation for the brand across Asia.”

Nimbus debuting 12 series at Boot 2026

November 27, 2025
11:04 am

The Swedish builder is succeeding its 11 series with the extended and upgraded Tender 12, Weekender 12 and Commuter 12.

Commuter 12 with inboard engines

Nimbus Boats – whose dealers include Asiamarine – will stage the world premieres of its three new 12 series models indoors at Boot Dusseldorf 2026, which will be held in Germany from January 17-25. The Tender 12, Weekender 12 and Commuter 12 all share the same platform, which is based on the air-lubricated, twin-stepped hull used for the 11 series, now further stiffened by vacuum infusion.

The 12 series boats are 41ft 7in (12.7m), with the extra foot compared to the 11 series (40ft 7in) due to an extended swim platform. For outboard engines, Nimbus offers an optional wraparound hydraulic swim platform, which can also serve as a passarelle.

Tender 12 with outboard engines

Standard propulsion is two 300hp Mercury Verado V8 outboard engines, with 425hp Mercury Verado V10s as an option, while the enclosed Commuter 12 and open Tender 12 are also available with two 320hp Volvo Penta D4-DPI inboard engines. The shipyard predicts that the B10 category yachts, which have a beam of 11ft 4in (3.46m), can achieve a top speed over 45 knots.

“The 12 Series builds on the award-winning design introduced with the 11 Series, maintaining the low planning threshold and exceptional seaworthy performance,” Nimbus stated. “The hull delivers handling you can trust at 45-plus knots while running dry and stable in real conditions.”

Other changes include a new hull decor with the Nimbus logo in polished stainless steel, new stainless steel railings, and new helm seats custom-designed to “deliver exceptional comfort for extended time at the helm”.

Both the Tender 12 and Weekender 12 now include a balcony starboard of the main social area, which includes the brand’s signature flexible furniture. The Tender 12 has a longer, wider T-top with solar panels and acrylic see-through glass sections with sunblock. As well as a symmetrical, walkaround design, the main deck includes an aft sofa, U-shaped dinette and a triple-seat helm station.

The Weekender 12 is now offered with a hardtop or in a new Targa version with an arch and foldout canopy. Compared to the Tender 12, the asymmetrical Weekender 12 is distinguished by longer side windows, a single helm seat to starboard, extended seating areas on the port side, one main side passage to starboard, plus increased storage for gear and water toys.

The Commuter 12, which has a fully enclosed deckhouse, features a re-designed outdoor aft deck with more usable space and a folding backrest on the sofa. The interior includes a galley to port, dinette with facing sofas to starboard, and a twin-seat helm.

Commuter 12

Beyond the visible changes, the entire 12 Series incorporates improvements to ventilation, lighting, sound routing and serviceability. New windscreen-wiper systems and updated illumination enhance visibility and ambience across all models. Each model includes a foredeck with integrated sunpad, and two cabins and a bathroom below deck.

Jonas Göthberg, Commercial Director at Nimbus Boats, said: “Our owners told us what they loved most. The 12 Series delivers more of exactly that. These aren’t changes for the sake of change. They’re refinements that serve ease of use, social connection and time together on the water.”

Riva 58’ Capri strengthens Open series

Riva 58’ Capri strengthens Open series

November 27, 2025
10:34 am

The iconic Italian brand has revealed further details of its new 58’ Capri, which follows larger Open series models by including a hardtop.

Riva has revealed further details of the 58’ Capri, an evolution of the 56’ Diable. Part of the Italian builder’s Open series of cruisers that range from the Iseo Super (27ft) to the 76’ Bahamas Super, the 58’ Capri’s design continues the brand’s collaboration with Officina Italiana Design, which has designed for Riva since Mauro Micheli and Sergio Beretta co-founded the Bergamo-based studio in 1994.

While the 58’ Capri – which debuted at the 2025 Cannes Yachting Festival – shares the platform of the 56’ Diable, the new model adds a curved hardtop, as featured on both the 68’ Diable and 76’ Bahamas Super. The hull is painted Shark Grey and features Bright Black detailing.

“The market had been sensing the need for a yacht of this size, but with a more enclosed character,” explained Micheli, the studio’s Chief Designer.

“The Riva 58’ Capri is, in essence, the ideal yacht to enjoy as a day cruiser. We also imagine her as a perfect tender to a seaside villa. Equally suited for short cruises, she offers the highest levels of comfort and attention to detail, hallmarks of Riva’s enduring refinement.”

Aft, the swim platform includes access to a garage that can accommodate a Williams TurboJet 325 tender, while symmetrical steps lead up to a large, aft-facing sunpad. The covered area includes an aft-facing L-shaped dinette with a folding table to port, while forward is a forward-facing L-shaped sofa. To starboard is a bar unit with a sink, fridge and icemaker, plus a single-seat helm station.

The roof has an integrated, electrically-controlled soft top, with owners able to adjust the amount of light and shade that filters into the cockpit. The foredeck adds to the outdoor areas with a large integrated sunpad.

The lower deck, finished in a glossy chocolate wenge wood and stainless-steel accents, features a lower lounge and three cabins including a full-beam en-suite master aft and an en-suite forward. To port is a third cabin for either crew with a private bathroom and direct access to the cockpit, or a guest cabin with two bunk beds and direct access from the lower-deck hallway.

Suitable for open sea cruising, with CE Class A certification, the yacht can reach a top speed of 33 knots powered by two 1,000hp MAN V8 engines in the standard configuration, and reach 37 knots with the upgraded 1,200hp versions. Owners can also opt to install a Seakeeper NG6 gyroscopic stabiliser.
