Fountaine Pajot Isla 40

 

Multihull Solutions is preparing to stage the Asia-Pacific premieres of Fountaine Pajot’s Isla 40 catamaran and MY4.S powercat as well as the Neel 43 trimaran at the 2022 Sanctuary Cove International Boat Show. Headquartered in Australia, the multihull distributor will also be showing an ILIAD 50 at the show, which is scheduled for May 19-22.

 

Several units of the Isla 40 sailing catamaran (Review, Issue 64) have been delivered to the Asia-Pacific, but the May show will be the first time Fountaine Pajot’s new entry-level sail cat will be seen at a major public event in the APAC region.

Larger than its predecessor, the Lucia 40, and having a class-leading sail-to-weight ratio of 10.3, the 12m catamaran features reversed bows and an innovative saloon where the navigation wall is accessible from the entrance, creating additional space in the saloon for a relaxing day bed and added storage. The yacht has the option of three or four double cabins plus a crew cabin if required.

Fountaine Pajot Motor Yachts’ new MY4.S recently arrived in Australia and is available for immediate sale. The luminous saloon is bathed in natural light and features a sunroof and expansive opening to the alfresco cockpit, where guests can recline in a dedicated sunbathing area and enjoy easy sea access with the rear platform. Accommodation includes a voluminous owner’s suite.

The Neel 43 that will be on display at Sanctuary Cove is the first to arrive in Australia and is also available for immediate sale. The model has been nominated in multiple awards: British Yachting Awards 2021, Sail Best Boat of the Year 2022, European Yacht of the Year 2022 and Multihull of the Year 2022, with the latter announcing winners at the International Multihull Show from April 20-24.

The Neel 43 follows the 47, 51 and 65 models, which between them have won numerous industry awards and multiple ARC Trans-Atlantic races. Neel Trimarans has launched 13 units of the Neel 43 and has at least 20 on forward order.

The model breaks the mould by incorporating a loft-style interior and construction that utilises eco-sustainable products and processes, and delivers great speeds while offering stability and comfort in challenging conditions.

The ILIAD 50 on display at Sanctuary Cove will be a new model featuring a host of upgrades and it sets the stage for the arrival of the first ILIAD 60 into Australia later this year. Founded in 2019, ILIAD Catamarans has already sold 14 models to Australian buyers.

Multihull Solutions will have specialists on its stand at the Sanctuary Cove show to assist with all enquiries across its range. It will also be showcasing an extensive range of pre-owned power and sail catamarans for sale at its adjacent Gold Coast Sales Centre at The Boat Works.

The Dubai International Boat Show was held for the first time at Dubai Harbour, where the Superyacht Avenue played host to booths by megayacht builders such as Lurssen, Amels and Damen, Oceanco and Feadship.

 

Gulf Craft’s Majesty 120 (37m) was among the largest boats on display at Dubai Harbour, which has 700 berths and is the largest marina in the Middle East, able to accommodate megayachts up to 160m.

 

In Superyacht Avenue, Italy’s Ferretti Group staged the regional debut of the Custom Line Navetta 30 (28.4m) as well as a Riva 100’ Corsaro (30m) and the powerful Pershing 8X (25.5m) and 9X (28.1m) motor yachts.

Alessandro Tirelli, Ferretti Group’s Sales & Marketing Director Serial Business, said: “It is so significant for Dubai International Boat Show to have a dedicated superyacht space and the facilities here are stunning. It is important not just for the exhibitors but also the public to have somewhere we can display our collection. In the future, we cannot wait to bring even bigger yachts.”

 

Azimut displayed a Grande 32 Metri (105ft), Grande 27 Metri (88ft), an S8 (24.6m) and a 78 Fly (24.1m) in cooperation with Seas & Deserts, its Gulf dealer. Fellow Italian builder Sanlorenzo displayed the SX88 (26.7m), the pioneer of its crossover series that has since been joined by the SX76 and SX112.

 

“It’s good to be back and the new location at Dubai Harbour is beautiful,” said Luca Cristino, Sanlorenzo’s Vice President Sales & Marketing. “The Middle East market is growing massively, not only for local customers but for also for international buyers, and it also continues to draw a broader international audience.”

British builder Princess Yachts showed a Y85 (26.2m) as well as F50, F55 and F62 flybridge motor yachts, the powerful S62 sportbridge model and the V60 cruiser. Sunreef was planning to stage the world premiere of the Sunreef 80 Eco, but the sailing catamaran was unable to make it to the show in time due to a shipping delay.

 

According to show organiser Dubai World Trade Centre, the MENA region boasts the world’s second-highest fleet-to-billionaire ratio, while Dubai’s maritime sector accounts for AED26.9 billion (US$7.3 billion) or about 7 per cent of its GDP.

 

The 2022 Dubai International Boat Show was the first edition since 2019 and was held from Wednesday-Sunday, March 9-13, overlapping with the final period of the Expo 2020 (October 1, 2021 – March 31, 2022).

Benetti has shared more details about its 65m Triumph, built for an owner whose passions include Triumph motorcycles, with one even installed on the upper deck. The owner, who plans to spend long periods on board with family and friends, is a notable collector and Triumph also features a specially lit gallery of photographs by renowned artists.

Built on a proven platform, the yacht features five enclosed decks plus a sundeck and integrates ‘box-in-box’ construction technology for almost all the living areas to reduce noise and vibrations. The 214-footer has a range of over 4,700 miles at 12 knots and accommodation for 12 guests and 15 crew.

Triumph has six decks

The sleek exterior is by Cassetta Yacht Designers, while Benetti’s style department worked with the client on the layout, choice of materials, decor and furniture.

The owner chose Green & Mingarelli Design to handle the decorative aspects, with Triumph using exclusive materials like glass by Lalique, marble and fur, alongside elements of green design. Other materials include Crema Marfil, Statuary and Amani marble, and loom-woven silk and wool carpets.

Saloon on the main deck

The indoor and outdoor dining tables were designed specifically for Triumph. All the outdoor furniture is made of stainless steel, elegantly detailed with special corded rope producing an effect in line with the yacht’s contemporary style.

In terms of layout, the main deck features a generous lounge followed by a dining area that doubles up as a movie theatre, while there’s also a full-beam VIP suite.

A beautifully designed lobby

The upper deck has a spacious exterior dining area, complete with an American bar and a panoramic lounge that can also be used as a touch-and-go helipad if needed. There’s also a 1,400sqft (130sqm) master suite with an adjoining study/lounge and spacious outdoor terrace.

The bridge deck has an air-conditioned gym with 2.4m of headroom and a huge, lightweight , while the sundeck has lounge areas and a Jacuzzi.

The ‘beach area’ on the aft lower deck

The lower deck has a 750sqft (70sqm) beach area, two large garages plus guest and crew accommodation, while there’s also a tank deck.

Riva 100’ Corsaro

 

Ferretti Group will showcase a Riva 100’ Corsaro, Pershing 8X and 9X, and the Gulf premiere of the Custom Line Navetta 30 at this year’s Dubai International Boat Show. The five-day show will be held from March 9-13 at Dubai Harbour, the largest marina in the Middle East and North Africa.

 

The 100’ Corsaro sits at the heart of Riva’s Flybridge range and had its world debut in Hong Kong in 2017. The 8X and 9X are the two biggest models in Pershing’s X Generation, a five-model series that starts with the 5X and was ‘concluded’ with the release of the 6X last year.

However, the Navetta 30 will be among the show highlights as the yacht makes its debut in the region, having sold well into Asia since her world premiere in late 2020 as the successor of the Navetta 28.

 

Ferretti Group is attending the show’s 28th edition show in partnership with Ocean360, the exclusive dealer for Ferretti Yachts, Pershing, Riva and Itama in the UAE and Oman. Other Group partners at the event are Seabob, Dolce & Gabbana (official staff uniforms) and Slam (crew uniforms).
