Multihull Solutions announced sales of four Fountaine Pajot catamarans at this year’s Sydney International Boat Show. By the close of the five-day event, the dealer had sold an MY6 power catamaran and a Tanna 47, Elba 45 and Isla 40 sailing catamaran to buyers from around Australia – Melbourne, Sydney, Gold Coast and Port Stephens.

 

The Asia-Pacific dealer’s display in Darling Harbour included Fountaine Pajot’s MY5 power catamaran and Isla 40 sailing catamaran, the latter among the models sold during the show.

 

“Demand for these outstanding catamarans is incredibly strong and orders are flowing in despite the extending lead time on deliveries,” said Greg Boller, Multihull Solutions New Yacht Sales Manager. “Fountaine Pajot continues to construct beautiful cruising catamarans that keep improving each year in terms of performance, design and functionality.”

France’s Neel Trimarans is developing the Lombard-designed Neel 52, with regional dealer Multihull Solutions scheduled to show Australia’s first unit in 2024.

Marc Lombard designed the Neel 52

 

Neel Trimarans is developing the Neel 52, with Asia-Pacific dealer Multihull Solutions announcing that it will debut Australia’s first hull in 2024. Marc Lombard Yacht Design Group is behind the Neel 52, which has a racy, modern silhouette, elaborately designed hull and sleek lines, following the firm’s designs for the Neel 43 and 47 sailing trimarans.

 

Neel, 52, sailing, trimaran, Marc Lombard, Multihull Solutions, 2024

The Neel 52 features a new system for deploying the tender

 

The trimaran accommodates up to 12 passengers yet is easily handled by a small crew, with Neel stating that the 52 is the only multihull of this size that can offer up to six double cabins and two crew stations as an option.

 

Available in a range of layouts to suit private or charter use, the Neel 52 offers four, five or six cabins, with the choice of the owner’s cabin on the main deck or a huge saloon, as well as one or two crew cabins.

 

Neel, 52, sailing, trimaran, Marc Lombard, Multihull Solutions, 2024

The platform includes a central ‘rockered’ hull

 

The yacht’s beam of 26ft is half of its overall length of 52ft, with Lombard following the attributes of the 43 and 47 by incorporating hull floats that provide stability, a high freeboard and a central ‘rockered’ hull, which helps tacking and manoeuvring in port.

 

The trimaran features the renowned Cockloon®, an impressive interior/exterior living space that incorporates the shipyard’s full-beam cockpit®, an extra-wide area with multiple seating configurations that can be rearranged to take full advantage of the different vistas.

The trimaran features the Cockloon® living area

 

The open-plan living space is designed on one level and enjoys natural light and panoramic views, while the interior features premium furnishings and finishes.

 

The helm station has a triple seat and easy access from the cockpit or deck to ensure easy communication between skipper and crew. The Neel 52 has also introduced an improved system for simplified lifting and handling of the tender.

The rig includes a square-top mainsail

 

The yacht is available with an aluminium or carbon mast, the latter accompanied by a large square-top mainsail. The Neel 52’s construction resembles that of the other models in the range by using vacuum-infused composite sandwich with triaxial fibre reinforcements, as well as PVC and PET sandwich core foam for enhanced durability.

Sunreef has revealed photos of the first Sunreef 60 Eco, Surreal, which is the second sailing model from the builder’s new solar-powered series. The first Eco sailing model was the Sunreef 80 Eco, Marie-Joseph, which was in Dubai earlier this year and will make its official world premiere at the Cannes Yachting Festival from September 6-11.

The Polish builder launched Surreal in April (click to read) in the builder’s home in the north-coast city of Gdansk before recently revealing a selection of sailing, mooring and interior photos showing the shipyard’s latest example of Eco green-tech solutions and luxurious design and décor.

Surreal is the builder’s first 60ft catamaran to be equipped with composite-integrated solar panels developed in-house. On Surreal, the solar panels are integrated into the hull sides, superstructure and flybridge hard top, generating solar power for long, vibration-free and emission-free navigation as well as on-board appliances.

With a thickness below 1mm, the ultralight solar skin is the industry’s lightest and most efficient solar power solution, according to Sunreef. Due to their advanced integration technique, Sunreef Yachts Eco solar panels have a very high resistance to shock and abrasion. Surreal was also fitted with a powerful custom-engineered battery bank.

Asiamarine has been appointed as the Asia dealer for the Swan Shadow, the first motor yacht by the renowned Finnish sailing yacht builder.

The 43ft Swan Shadow is the Finnish builder’s first motor yacht

 

Headquartered in Hong Kong with offices in Singapore, Thailand, Philippines, and Vietnam, Asiamarine has been appointed as the Asia dealer for the Swan Shadow, which was launched last year and is the Finnish builder’s first motor yacht.The first Swan Shadow in Asia is now in Hong Kong and available for viewing through Asiamarine.

 

Renowned for its sailing yachts, which it has built in Finland since 1967, Swan conceived the Shadow as a chase or shadow boat for Swan owners. However, the 43ft 4in motor yacht has evolved to become a multi-purpose boat that can be configured for other uses such as a fishing boat, day boat and Limo tender.

 

Asiamarine, Swan, Shadow, Finnish, dealer, Asia, motor yacht, sailing, Hong Kong, Eric Noyel, Jarkko Jämsén

Swan yachts are renowned for their finish and craftsmanship

 

Eric Noyel, founder and CEO of Asiamarine, said: “We are absolutely delighted to be associated with Nautor’s Swan and the new Swan Shadow. Owned by Leonardo Ferragamo, Swan is one of the most renowned of all the premier boating brands and known worldwide for performance, quality, elegance and innovative design. Its move into the motor yacht sector is truly a milestone moment, and Asiamarine is proud to be an integral part of this in Asia.”

 

The Shadow is designed by Jarkko Jämsén and re-expresses much of the DNA of Swan sailing yachts, with more than 2,300 hulls from 36-125ft launched since 1966. Jämsén worked on the design of the ClubSwan 50 sailing yacht in collaboration with in-house Swan designer Juan K, one of the world’s most prominent naval architects.

An up-down swim platform wraps around the three outboard engines

 

The Shadow offers deck layouts, each sporting a flat walkaround deck space. There are both short and long T-top versions, and a configuration with an enclosed deckhouse that turns the boat into a luxury limousine. Options include a wet bar unit and additional table, seating and sunpad sections.

 

The Swan Shadow has a stepped hard chine planing hull that comes straight from the drawing board of the racing world, while three outboard engines from 225-350hp are surrounded by an innovative multi-use swim platform that can be lowered into the water or raised up for use as a passarelle.

Flagstaff Marine and Chapman Marine represented Beneteau

 

Beneteau, Lagoon Catamarans and Excess Catamarans worked with their respective dealers in Australia to present 12 models between them at this year’s Sydney International Boat Show, which finished in early August.

 

Flagstaff Marine represents Beneteau sailing yachts and inboard motor yachts in New South Wales state plus Excess across Australia, Chapman Marine is Beneteau’s outboard motorboat dealer in New South Wales, while The Multihull Group is Lagoon’s representative for Australia.

 

Beneteau’s 11-strong fleet included the Oceanis 40.1, Oceanis 46.1 and Figaro Beneteau 3 sailing yachts shown by Flagstaff Marine, which also displayed a Gran Turismo 36 inboard motorboat. Chapman Marine showcased Gran Turismo 36, Gran Turismo 32, Flyer 9 Sundeck, Flyer 9 Spacedeck, Flyer 8 Sundeck, Antares 11 Fly and Antares 9 outboard motorboats.

 

Beneteau owners’ nights were organised by Flagstaff Marine on the first two days of the show before Chapman Marine held one on the evening of the third.

 

Embracing the digital age, Lagoon and The Multihull Group used a virtual story-telling approach with a fresh Lagoon Discovery Lounge. Decorated with tropical furniture and carpets in ‘Lagoon Blue’, the interactive lounge allowed guests to touch and feel the whole Lagoon range via advanced virtual tours.

 

Visitors were also encouraged to explore Seanapps, Groupe Beneteau’s in-house boat monitoring solution, and enjoy demonstrations by Raymarine, the navigation system used by Lagoon Catamarans.

 

Flagstaff Marine staged the Australia debut of the Excess 11, which features twin helm stations and a large open cockpit on deck, while lower-deck highlights include a 2m by 2m bed in the owner’s cabin and bathrooms with separate showers.

 

“It has been a wonderful experience to be finally back in Sydney for this important boat show after two years of shutdown,” said Hong Kong-based Erwan Her, Beneteau Sales Director, Asia Pacific.

 

“This enabled us to meet the owners, professionals from the industry, as well as prospects passionate about water sports or boating. The feedback from the market has been very positive over the past years as evidenced by the great sales in all segments, presenting us with a good reason to further strengthen the exposure in Sydney.”

Ferretti Group has announced a €1.2 billion order backlog as part of its H1 2022 consolidated financial results. Its order backlog of €1.218 billion at June 30 was up 49 per cent on a year earlier and 20 per cent on December 31, 2021, while its order intake of €641.9 million during the first six months of this year represented a 30 per cent increase on the same period in 2021 (€493.6 million).

 

Alberto Galassi, CEO of Ferretti Group, said: “The market is at an extraordinary point, although our strong growth owes particularly to our hard work. We are investing in continued innovation and consistently unveil new models.

 

“Every aspect is painstakingly considered, from design to technology, while continually looking to reduce our environmental footprint. We are confident that we bring the best of Italian boating to the world and achieve tangible results for our shareholders.”

 

As of June 30, Ferretti Group’s order backlog included €389.0 million of composite yachts, €400.7 million of made-to-measure yachts, €370.5 million of superyachts and €57.8 million for other businesses including Wally and Ferretti Security Division.

The adjusted EBITDA of €69.0 million for the six-month period was a 30.2 per cent increase on H1 2021. Net revenue of €534.9 million in H1 2022 was up 17 per cent on the same period in 2021 and comprised €225.6 million in the EMEA (Europe, Middle East, Africa) region, €171.3 million in the Americas and €38.1 million in Asia-Pacific.

 

Ferretti Group attributed its strong performance to three main factors: a) commercial: a longer waiting list due to the extensive order book, which means greater pricing power; b) strategic positioning: a stronger presence in the most profitable segments, such as made to measure; and c) industrial: economy of scale in procurement and more efficient absorption of fixed costs.

 

The Group’s new models in 2022 include CRN’s 62m Rio and 52m Ciao, Custom Line’s flagship 140′, Ferretti Yachts 860 and wallypower58. Ferretti Group includes the Wally, Ferretti Yachts, Pershing, Itama, Riva, CRN and Custom Line brands, operates six shipyards in Italy and serves customers in more than 70 countries through its direct presence in Europe, the US and Asia working with a network of about 60 third-party dealers.

Fraser CEO Raphael Sauleau has revealed that following a boom across all aspects of the superyacht industry last year, charter demand has risen to record levels in 2022.

 

“We’re seeing even more enthusiasm for getting out on the water this year, both from existing clients and newcomers,” Sauleau said. “As the data shows, charter bookings have surged across almost every size range, especially in the 50-60m ‘sweet spot’.”

 

Fraser, CEO, superyacht, Raphael Sauleau, Yacht Style, charter, destination, days, booked, record, 2021, 2022

 

In Fraser’s managed charter fleet, bookings were up by 87% on 2021. Sauleau also said more owners are realising the importance of professional yacht management, with Fraser’s managed fleet increasing by 93% in the last five years to well over 100 yachts.

 

This year, Fraser’s Charter Brokers have placed 15% more bookings compared to the record-breaking 2021. And in terms of destinations, this year’s top five most in-demand are, at the time of writing, the French Riviera followed by the Amalfi Coast, Croatia, Greece and the Bahamas.

Meanwhile, both North America and the Caribbean have increased by 100-200% as Americans enjoy the stunning regions in their ‘back yard’ and more discover yachting. And interestingly, clients are spending 86% longer on board than they did pre-Covid.

The British builder’s new entry-level model for its sporty Targa series succeeds the popular 38, with new innovations including a drop-down side.

Fairline is scheduled to launch the Targa 40 in 2023

 

Fairline has announced that it will launch its new Targa 40 in the summer of 2023, offering a smaller alternative to the current 45 GT and 45 Open. The British builder hopes the Targa 40 will follow the success of the Targa 38, which proved to be one of the brand’s most popular models following its launch in 2006, with more than 300 built over the following decade.


Christian Gott, Fairline’s lead concept designer, said: “The popularity of the Targa 38 cannot be disputed and this brand-new 40 takes everything we loved about the 38 and elevates it.” 


The Targa 40 features a bold exterior design, with a modern bluff-bow hull and an open cockpit design with a hardtop and electric canvas sunroof, opening the whole main deck. Echoing the lines and extensive glazing on the Phantom 65 and new Squadron 68, the Targa 40 floods the interior with light and uninterrupted views.

Features include a fold-down beach club balcony to starboard, while twin sunbeds with floating backrests convert into sofas for guests to enjoy day or night. The integrated aft garage to port has room for a 2.3m tender with electric outboard.


Social areas include a large C-shaped seating and dining area plus companion seating to port, while a wet bar is nestled behind the two helm seats, where a “beautifully proportioned and ergonomically designed helm console is part of a wider focus on technology at Fairline”.

 

The latest Garmin touch screen display enhances the customer experience with a simplified and intuitive user interface allowing integrated control of all essential systems. Moving to the foredeck, the expansive sunbeds dominate, and the addition of a forward-facing sofa at the bow enables guests to enjoy the views whilst cruising.

James Powell, Fairline’s Sales Director, said: “The Targa 40 announcement comes at an exciting time for Fairline and marks a major milestone in our new model development programme. We’re continually improving and adding to our model range, and this new Targa 40 will offer many boaters their first step into our renowned Targa range.”

The ‘all-season terrace’ on Ferretti Yachts Infynito series

 

Ferretti Yachts is developing a new Infynito series of yachts, which will range from 70-100ft. The models are designed by the team responsible for Ferretti Yachts’ newest models: Filippo Salvetti for the exteriors and hulls, IdeaeItalia for the interiors, Ferretti Group’s Strategic Product Committee led by Piero Ferrari and its Engineering Department.

 

Infynito yachts are designed to complement the brand’s existing flybridge series, which range in size from the FY500 to the flagship FY1000 that debuted last year.

 

Catering to “owners’ new needs”, Infynito models are designed to offer “seamless contact with the surrounding environment, even more sustainable materials and navigation, plus custom detailing”. Design wise, the ‘infinite’ emphasis is on visual continuity between interiors and exteriors, with panoramic views of the horizon.


“With no more limits and boundaries, the view sweeps far and wide and navigation is purer, more personal and more introspective,” Ferretti Yachts stated. “The understated design is clean and balanced, expressing new values that point the way to the more natural and sustainable approach to cruising increasingly embraced by owners.”


A key design feature is the main deck, where the view sweeps from interior to exterior and from bow to stern. The design of this space includes FY’s ground-breaking ‘all-season terrace’, a spacious and atmospheric area that’s hidden from passers-by when the yacht is moored on the quay and functional at sea in all weather conditions.

Infynito also introduces Ferretti Sustainable Enhanced Architecture (FSEA), a package of environmentally-friendly cruising solutions.

FSEA includes a solar roof that generates electric power to charge the onboard batteries, a ‘hotel mode’ powering onboard systems with zero emissions due to a special lithium battery pack, and the choice of greener materials such as ecological paints, sustainable teak, recyclable fabrics and leathers.
