The Italian superyacht builder has splashed Calex, a full-custom 67m megayacht with exterior styling by Giorgio Cassetta.

The 67m Calex has six decks

Benetti has launched the 67m Calex in Livorno ahead of a scheduled delivery to its Californian owner this spring. Featuring a steel hull and aluminium superstructure, the bespoke megayacht has exterior styling by Italian studio Cassetta, headed by Giorgio Cassetta, with Benetti’s Style Department handling the interiors, which feature extensive use of maple and American walnut, ivory-coloured leathers, marble and decorative cushions with Loro Piana Interiors Fabrics.

Calex features five enclosed decks linked by a lift, as well as a sun deck. The beach club has a gullwing door that opens to illuminate the interior area, while a long, swing-down hatch to starboard provides access to the water and adds light. Steps leads to the main deck and an open-air lounge aft, while the interior has a saloon, dining area, galley and two large VIP cabins. The lower deck has four guest cabins and accommodation for 16 crew featuring similar decor to guest areas.

Calex will be delivered to its owner in spring

The upper deck is dedicated to the owner and includes a large master cabin with an elegant double bathroom, a private office and walk-in wardrobe. Two curved, automatic sliding doors open onto an exclusive lounge furnished with chaises longues, armchairs, a table and an original gas fireplace. The foredeck can also be used as a touch-and-go helicopter pad. Aft on the same deck is an interior lounge with a TV, and an open area with a dining table and seating area.

The bridge deck has an outdoor space containing a lounge area furnished with a bar, sofas, TV cabinet and barbecue and is served by a pantry, while forward is the captain’s cabin and wheelhouse with a touchscreen console designed by Telemar. The sun deck features gym equipment and a Jacuzzi.

The propulsion is Benetti’s first on a full custom yacht this size to fully comply with Tier III regulations, so is fitted with a scrubbing system for the exhaust gases from the propulsion and generating systems.

Fairline offers beach club on all-new Squadron 58

February 10, 2022
4:14 am

The British builder is offering drop-down wings on its new Squadron 58, which is set to hit the water by late 2022.

The Squadron 58 will join the 50 and 68 in Fairline’s flybridge range

Fairline is developing a new Squadron 58 that offers the option of a beach club with hydraulic drop-down sides. Designed by the Fairline Yachts Design Studio in collaboration with Salt Design, the three-cabin model is scheduled to be in the water by late 2020 in time for a world premiere at Boot Dusseldorf in January 2023.

Last month, Fairline announced its new Phantom 65, which is set to debut at this year’s Cannes Yachting Festival in September and will pioneer a new sportbridge range between the Targa cruisers and Squadron flybridge models. Meanwhile, the new Squadron 58 will fill the gap between the Squadron 50 and flagship 68, which has recently been upgraded, with a unit heading to Hong Kong through Simpson Marine, whose representation in Asia was recently expanded to include mainland China.

Paul Grys, CEO of Fairline, said: “Having recently announced the launch of the Phantom 65 alongside multiple new dealer appointments around the world, the Squadron 58 comes at an exciting time for Fairline, with it marking a major step in our new model development programme. We have designed this yacht to offer our customers the ultimate connection with the water utilising a range of new innovations and technologies unique to Fairline.”

The beach club has drop-down sides, an extendable platform and modular furniture

The Squadron 58’s optional fold-down bulwarks on both sides is a first for Fairline, while other new features include a high/low bathing platform that can carry a tender, extend in length and submerge into the water, allowing space for sun loungers. The beach club includes a glass transom, flexible and modular cockpit seating, moveable bar stools and an integrated sound system, while the triple-fin styling detail into the aft superstructure recalls past Squadrons.

The flybridge features a spacious sun pad aft, wet bar, plenty of seating, a hardtop with sunroof and wrap-around glazing, while the foredeck has a sofa, table and large sunpad. In another first for Fairline, the saloon is entered by an angled door, has an aft galley to port and a forward lounge with a C-shaped sofa and a table to port facing a double sofa to starboard.

The lower deck has a master cabin midships with a king-sized bed, bureau with stool and drawer storage to starboard, and a large sofa to port, while the starboard guest cabin shares the forward VIP cabin’s en-suite bathroom. At the stern, customers can add a twin crew cabin, which is accessed through a door in the transom, while engine options are twin Volvo D13-900 or D13-1000 shaft-drive engines. The Squadron 58 starts from £1.2 million (about US$1.63 million) excluding taxes.

LYC “delighted” to have new Marina Manager on board

February 9, 2022
3:25 am

Lantau Yacht Club welcomes Tom Leung as its Marina Manager, as Hong Kong’s first 5 Gold Anchor marina announces new developments for 2022.

Tom Leung, Lantau Yacht Club’s new Marina Manager

Ivan Lee, Vice President of Lantau Yacht Club, has praised new Marina Manager Tom Leung, who was appointed at the start of the year as the Discovery Bay facility looks to build on its recent accolade as Hong Kong’s first 5 Gold Anchor marina (click for more details).

Having soft opened in September 2020, LYC was granted with its premier accreditation by the Australia-based Marina Industries Association soon after the club’s one-year anniversary.

LYC staff celebrate the 5 Gold Anchor accolade

“LYC’s mission is to offer premium yachting facilities and become the preferred mooring destination and yacht club in Hong Kong, so we are delighted to have Tom on board,” Lee said.

“Tom has worked in several maritime services providers and yacht clubs, and brought with him a wealth of experience in marina operations and customer services. He is determined to go the extra mile to ensure the safety of the marina and that of our members and their properties.”

LYC hosted the Princess Yachts Experience in May 2021

LYC is Hong Kong’s only marina purpose built to accommodate superyachts and its residents include a 42.5m Pershing 140, Mangusta 130, Sanlorenzo SX112 and SD126, Azimut Grande 35 Metri, Custom Line Navetta 30, Princess X95 and the 40m Silentworld. The club said some members expect even larger superyachts, including over 60m, to arrive in the coming years.

As it seeks to expand its offerings in 2022, LYC says it will start to host contractors providing yacht care, maintenance and management services, a chandlery, a water toys shop, yachting academy and wakesurfing instruction.

An event on the lawn in front of the clubhouse

Charlotte Ho, Director of Hospitality Marketing and Membership of Auberge Hospitality, the hospitality arm of Hong Kong Resort Company Limited, the marina’s developer, said: “We’d like to extend a warm welcome to our service partners and look forward to building an all-encompassing maritime ecosystem here at LYC to promote water activities and a premium yachting lifestyle.”

The club has become an established event venue and last year hosted Ferretti Group’s preview of Asia’s first Custom Line Navetta 30, the overnight Princess Yachts Experience, and the Prestige Exclusive Day & Asia Yachting Brokerage Boat Show, as well as private member events. Potential events this year could include a yacht show organised by the Hong Kong Boating Industry Association.

The Prestige Exclusive Day in November 2021

LYC’s initiatives have included Yachtcation packages (click for more details) allowing non-members to visit and stay overnight with their yachts and use the facilities at the club as well as enjoy other attractions in Discovery Bay.

Lee said: “LYC will continue to maintain close contact with the industry and yachting lovers and provide more tailor-made services and offers to the yachting community.”

The Jet to take off in Dubai in 2023

February 9, 2022
2:47 am

Frenchman Alain Thébault has unveiled The Jet, a hydrogen-powered hydrofoil boat designed to glide above the water and set to launch ahead of the COP28 climate summit in the UAE.

The Jet will carry 8-12 passengers

The Jet Zero Emission, a Switzerland-based start-up, has announced that its new hydrogen-powered hydrofoil boat will be launched in Dubai ahead of COP28 (28th Conference of Parties), the annual United Nations Framework Convention of Climate Change (UNFCCC) conference that will be held in Abu Dhabi from November 6-17, 2023.

Founded by French yachtsman Alain Thébault, The Jet Zero Emission has announced agreements with UAE-based Zenith Marine Services and DWYN to manufacture The Jet, a clean-energy boat designed to glide silently 80cm above the water at a cruising speed of 40 knots. The company has not yet confirmed where The Jet will be manufactured.

The Jet is scheduled to be launched in Dubai

The Jet is designed to carry 8-12 passengers and is equipped with two fuel cells and an air-conditioner as well as other clean-tech, environmentally friendly technologies that help reduce carbon emissions.

Thébault, inventor of the all-electric SeaBubbles prototypes and a world sailing speed record holder on l’Hydroptère, said: “The Jet is going to be the world’s first boat to sail without noise, waves or emissions and have the capability of flying 80cm above the waters. Dubai is an ideal destination for innovators and companies from around the world to develop their innovative projects and reach their desired success.”

The Jet will cruise at about 40 knots

Last October, the Emirates announced the UAE Net Zero by 2050 Strategic Initiative, a national drive to achieve net-zero emissions by 2050.

Ferretti Yachts’ Cattolica shipyard celebrates first launch since fire

February 3, 2022
1:27 pm

A new Ferretti Yachts 780 was launched at the Cattolica shipyard, marking its first launch of 2022.

A spectacular launch for the Ferretti Yachts 780 Club B

Ferretti Group has launched Club B, the 36th hull of the Ferretti Yachts 780 model and the first new build to be launched at the Cattolica shipyard since a yacht under construction caught fire on January 11. Club B features a Classic-themed interior by IdeaeItalia, using walnut, brushed oak and Carrara marble, while outdoor sofas are from Roda’s custom collection designed exclusively for Ferretti Yachts.

Alberto Galassi, CEO of Ferretti Group, said the shipyard would also be launching a new hull of its flagship Ferretti Yachts 1000, “making it clear that the Cattolica Shipyard is more active and stronger than ever, ready to mark 2022 with many more magnificent projects”.

With the production site back to full capacity, the launch of the Ferretti Yachts 780, for a Maltese owner, gave cause for celebration at the shipyard, which is on the north of Italy’s east coast, facing the Adriatic Sea.

The Cattolica shipyard is set to launch another Ferretti Yachts 1000

“The launch of this Ferretti Yachts 780 Club B marks the return to our extraordinary normality. At Cattolica, speed and quality go hand in hand. It is fantastic to see the shipyard get back to full operational capacity in such a short time,” Galassi said.

“I will never be able to adequately praise or thank all the people in the area and at Ferretti Yachts who have worked tirelessly to get us back to doing what we are famous for around the world: building and delivering dream yachts to our customers. Our thanks once again to the Municipal Administration and all the local authorities in this fantastic area.”

The newly updated Ferretti Yachts 780 features the option of Classic or Contemporary mood themes by IdeaeItalia, which designed the interiors for the Ferretti Yachts 500 launched in 2020 and the flagship 1000 released last year. Two units of the newly styled Ferretti Yachts 780 arrived in Singapore late last year through dealer Hong Seh Marine after being sold in the second quarter of 2020.
