Jeanneau has launched the Merry Fisher 1295 Fly, which features three 300hp Yamaha outboard engines and is the new series flagship. A big step up for Merry Fisher models, the 1295 Fly has an overall length of 41ft 2in, making it almost 7ft longer than the 1095, the former flagship and first model in the range to offer a flybridge.

Asia Yachting showcased nine yachts by Prestige, Monte Carlo Yachts, Fountaine Pajot and Nautique at its successful on-water Open Day on the south side of Hong Kong Island. Over 150 guests attended the Asia Yachting Open Day over the two days, which included shuttle transfer to a floating showcase in the middle of Repulse Bay.

It’s a great way to make use of Hong Kong’s spectacular coastline and islands. Two Nautique boats and two Prestige yachts were sold recently, so we couldn’t be happier with this achievement this summer.”

Celebrating its 15th anniversary this year, the Singapore marina has organised a series of sustainability-focused events and exhibitions in September.

ONE°15 Marina Sentosa Cove

 

Already accredited as a Platinum 5 Gold Anchor and Level 4 Clean Water marina, ONE°15 Marina Sentosa Cove (ONE°15) is hosting a month-long campaign in September dedicated to building awareness on ocean conservation, with a focus on sharks, stingrays and corals.

 

Building on its many sustainability initiatives including annual eco-dives and lining with its 15th-anniversary celebrations, ONE°15 wants the Eco Month to engage, educate and empower the public with the knowledge of how to help protect seas and coastlines.

 

Jonathan Sit, General Manager of ONE°15 Marina Sentosa Cove, said: “Water provides us with sustenance and leisure. It’s only natural we take the responsibility to solidify our efforts towards sustainability one step at time.

 

“We are on a mission to educate our members and the public on how everyone can play their part in being eco-conscious. On this note, it is timely that we celebrate our 15th-year milestone by shining the spotlight on key marine life and show how the luxurious and the sustainable can co-exist in many ways.”

A Seabin at ONE°15 Marina Sentosa Cove

 

A Coral Garden tour, scheduled to be held on September 11, will allow participants to learn about the marina’s coral restoration efforts and watch a new sea bin in operation, with the technology supplementing existing routines for cleaning the surface of the water.

 

On the same day, the marina will also host an Eco Talk with Sam Shu Qin, ONE°15’s Eco Advisor, who will explain how coral reefs contribute to the ecosystem while also recounting her expeditions as a marine scientist.

 

Throughout the month, ONE°15 is hosting an exhibition about sharks, stingrays and corals, revealing why they’re vital indicators of the ocean’s health.

 

In tandem with the exhibition, the marina is running a social media campaign focused on fun facts about marine conservation while encouraging the community to take charge of their own carbon and plastic footprint. To incentivise engagement, weekly giveaways will be held on social media and participants have the chance to win F&B vouchers and hotel nights at the marina.

Coral Garden

 

In conjunction with Eco Month, ONE°15 will also launch the Coral Garden Volunteer Program in a bid to make the project more sustainable and allow more members to enjoy it. Since the launch of the Coral Garden in 2018, ONE°15 has grown and transplanted over 239 different coral fragments in the joint project with the Tropical Marine Science Institute at National University of Singapore.

 

ONE°15 is also working to bring sustainability to on-land operations and recently installed an indoor vertical vegetable farm within one of its restaurants, adding to efforts to adopt sustainable food sources into its F&B operations.

 

The marina’s ongoing eco efforts include elimination of single-use plastics such as straws, takeaway containers, cutlery, hotel room toiletries and bin liners. The marina has pledged to eliminate all single-use plastics from operations by 2025, while upsized recycle bins have also been put in place at the marina to encourage more recycling of waste.

Princess Yachts’ seven-yacht display at this year’s Southampton International Boat Show (September 16-25) will be headlined by the global debut of the F65, the new flagship of the F Class of flybridge models.

 

The Plymouth builder’s other models on display comprise the F55, F50 and F45, the V55 sports yacht, S66 sportbridge and the Y72 from the larger Y Class flybridge motor yachts.

The Y72 on show will feature a new interior fabric range including materials from more sustainable sources than traditionally used fabrics, a taste of the builder’s upcoming Environmental and Sustainability Programme.

 

However, the all-new F65 will be the star attraction as it “sets the direction for an all-new design language for the F Class, with an emphasis on sculptural surfaces and lengthened feature lines”, according to Princess.

The F65’s extended knife-edge hull window running from the bow is part of a coherent look across new and upcoming products within the Princess range, while the interior styling offers “a light and airy atmosphere … establishing a contemporary feel”, the builder says.

 

Will Green, Executive Director, Sales and Marketing for Princess Yachts, said: “The Southampton International Boat Show has always been extremely important to Princess and it marks the start of the new selling season, often setting the direction for the year ahead.

The 80 Eco showcases Sunreef’s groundbreaking green tech solutions including solar panels built into the yacht’s entire bodywork, including hull sides, superstructure, hard top and even mast.

 

The propulsion is 100 per cent electric and while under sail, the yacht keeps producing power due to a hydrogeneration system.

The Azimut Grande 26 Metri in Viareggio

 

Azimut has launched the first Grande 26 Metri, which will make its debut at the Cannes Yachting Festival (September 6-11) along with the Grande 36 Metri and the Magellano 30 Metri. Launched in Viareggio, the 26.1m (85ft 7in) superyacht features exterior styling by Alberto Mancini and interiors by Achille Salvagni, like other recent Grande models.

 

Its signature feature is the aft Deck2Deck™ terrace inspired by the brand’s flagship Grande Trideck. The opening transom comes all the way up to lie flush with the aft edge of the main deck and expands the cockpit, which can be used either as a lounge space or a dining area with a walkaround table. The convertible furniture enables multiple layout, all with clear views of the horizon. Other features include a main-deck owner’s suite with full-height windows.

 

The Grande 26 Metri is one of Azimut’s new generation of Low Emission Yachts and the first in any category to be fitted with the new 4600 Pod propulsion system developed by ZF. Innovative, high-efficiency propulsion systems and a superstructure weighing 30 per cent less, due to the extensive use of carbon-fibre, results in a 20 per cent less fuel consumption than boats of a similar size, according to Azimut.

 

Azimut is represented in Hong Kong, Macau, Guangdong, Taiwan and Singapore by Marine Italia.

Francis Lapp, the founder and President of Sunreef, “sees a great opportunity in Turkey” for the brand’s luxury catamarans in the eastern part of Europe, where Croatia and Greece are also key markets. Turkey also neighbours the Middle East and is a pathway to Asia.

 

“Turkey is a strategic choice for the company due to its economy, yachting tradition, location and cruising grounds,” Lapp said. “Recent trends show that yachting is heading east. I am proud of our new office in Istanbul, bringing us closer to our Turkish customers.”

Absolute Yachts will stage the debuts of the flagship Navetta 75 and the 56 Fly at this year’s Cannes Yachting Festiva, which will be held from September 6-11 and feature over 600 yachts between Vieux Port and Port Canto, the latter hosting all sailing yachts.

 

The Italian builder expect to display nine yachts in Vieux Port’s Pantiero area (PAN 214-082) including the 50 Fly and 62 Fly along with multiple Navetta models from the 48 to the 68.

The Navetta 75 will be the highlight and features Absolute’s signature cockpit terrace, with modular furniture, stainless-steel guardrail and glazed balustrade offering clear views aft.

 

The foredeck has a sofa and forward sunpads with backrests that can create aft-facing seats to offer seating on both sides of the table. The large flybridge has space aft for sun loungers and an L-shaped sofa with a table, while the covered area includes a long dining table lengthways.

The sense of space continues in the interiors, where the main deck features a saloon aft, dining table athwartships, forward galley and raised helm station, with two staircases to the cabins on the starboard side.

 

The midships steps lead to three guest cabins comprising a full-beam VIP, an en-suite double to port and a twin-berth cabin starboard.

The room’s forward position increases privacy and reduces noise from the engines and generators.

 

However, Absolute offers the option of solar panels built into the hard top that can power refrigerators and other on-board systems while at anchor, so that guests can enjoy the sea without the hum of engines.

Crew quarters offer generous space for up to three, with separate galley and laundry room, features typical of much larger yachts. The crew quarters can be used for extra guests, so are finished at the same high standards as the other cabins.
