Monte Carlo Yachts Prepares to Launch MCY 76 Skylounge

June 2, 2020
10:20 pm

Italian builder Monte Carlo Yachts is completing its first MCY 76 Skylounge, which follows the MCY 70 Skylounge that debuted in February.

After the world premiere of the MCY 70 Skylounge at this year’s Miami Yacht Show, Monte Carlo Yachts is ready to launch the second model of its Skylounge Collection, the MCY 76 Skylounge, at the end of the summer for possible display at the Cannes and Fort Lauderdale shows in September and October respectively.

The MCY76 Skylounge could premiere at the Cannes Yachting Festival

Last year, Monte Carlo Yachts began its second decade with the launch of the new MCY 70, 66 and 76, and is now offering a skylounge option on the larger two models. The Skylounge series features a wide, customisable enclosed flybridge, allowing the top deck to be used in colder seasons or inclement weather.

Nuvolari-Lenard has worked on all of Monte Carlo Yachts’ designs since the builder was founded in 2008, and designers Carlo Nuvolari and Dan Lenard created the skylounge so the boat could be used at any time of year.

“We focused on designing a yacht able to offer a close connection with the sea, also providing maximum comfort on a craft that is meant to be enjoyed at all times of the year,” said the duo. “The result is a model that embodies a perfect balance between functionality and aesthetics, making each day onboard a unique and pleasurable experience.”

The enclosed skylounge on the MCY 76 Skylounge includes the yacht's sole helm station

The MCY 76 Skylounge offers a wide aft terrace on the upper deck, with an open-air galley and a lounge area to be customised according to the owners’ preferences. The skylounge’s versatile internal volumes also include the yacht’s sole helm station.

This allows more social space on the main deck, where a flexible layout can extend to the aft cockpit’s wide al fresco dining area. Owners can choose among a wide range of high-quality textures and materials in order to decorate the yacht according to their taste.

Azimut Yachts Launches e-Boat Show Series and Virtual Lounge

May 24, 2020
12:01 am

Italian builder Azimut Yachts has developed both a Virtual Lounge and an e-Boat Show series that will start in late May.

Azimut Yachts has created a new e-Boat Show series and a Virtual Lounge, which will host the first edition of the online yacht show from May 27-30.

The first Azimut e-Boat Show will be held from May 27-30

The e-Boat Show was created to allow yacht owners and boating enthusiasts to attend a digital event that replicates many of the key features of a conventional boat show.

In addition to product exhibitions, visitors can take part in Live Chat sessions with Azimut sales managers and experts. Staff will also be available for scheduled one-to-one video calls in which clients, with the support of their local dealer, can discuss specific needs and obtain detailed information live.

The e-Boat Show will be hosted within the Azimut Virtual Lounge, a digital environment offering virtual yacht tours , extensive technical information and informative, inspiring videos. Other features include in-depth articles, live events, behind-the scenes videos and insights into topics ranging from designers to cutting-edge technological solutions.

The new Azimut 78 is from the builder’s Flybridge collection

Azimut offers models from 34-120ft within its Atlantis, Magellano Flybridge, S and Grande collections. It has a presence in 70 countries through a network of 128 sales and assistance centres, as well as direct representation and assistance branches in Shanghai, Hong Kong, Fort Lauderdale (USA) and Itajai (Brazil).

Marine Italia represents the brand in Hong Kong, Guangdong, Macau, Taiwan and Singapore.

CL Yachts to Showcase CLB88 in Hong Kong in Summer

News / yachtstyle2020

CLB88 to Visit Hong Kong Before World Premiere at Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show

May 20, 2020
1:16 am

CL Yachts has launched its flagship CLB88, which will visit Hong Kong before heading for the Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show.

CL Yachts has launched its flagship CLB88 at its production facility in Zhuhai and will exhibit the yacht in Hong Kong in July before shipping her to the US ahead of her world premiere at the Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show (October 28-November 1). The brand offers a 360˚ virtual tour of the new model at www.clb88.virtual-tour

The CLB88 at its shipyard in Doumen, Zhuhai, in Guangdong province

The 27m CLB88 will be the brand’s flagship motor yacht until the launch of the CLX96, which is currently under construction and scheduled to launch by the end of the year.

Developed in collaboration with international designer Jozeph Forakis, the CLB88 has a RINA-certified hull, engineered in consultation with structural engineering firm Gurit, and was built with a strategic use of carbon-fibre and advanced resin infusion technology.

Hans Lo on Why CL Yachts is Using a First-Time Yacht Designer
An evolution of the popular CLB72, the CLB88 has been pitched as the motor yacht 'reimagined', whereas all the talk of reinvention and revolution is focused on the CLX96. For the latter, Forakis started from scratch and wasn't tied to any previous models, from inside or outside CL Yachts.

The 88ft 11in motor yacht has four generous ensuite staterooms on the lower deck including a master and VIP of almost equal size.

Forakis said: “The exterior of CLB88 is designed to stimulate the collective memories and imagination of every yachting enthusiast. Her effortless beauty and balanced proportions are timeless, but her overall look is distinctly bold and contemporary.

The CLB88 is set to head to Hong Kong in July before being shipped to the US

“With the interior, pure sun light and open, flowing spaces are the primary ingredients, giving the feeling of being connected to the water and air.”

The CLB88 won the Transportation category at the 2019 Good Design Awards, presented by the prestigious Chicago Athenaeum Museum of Architecture and Design, and was shortlisted for the International Yacht & Aviation Award.

Azimut Yachts Secures €30 Million in Contracts During Italy’s Lockdown

May 19, 2020
4:36 pm

Italian builder Azimut Yachts secures €30 million of orders during lockdown and plans to launch Magellano 25 Metri before summer.

Azimut Yachts secured €30 million in contracts during the lockdown period that affected production across Italy for several weeks before a recent easing of restrictions.

Azimut’s fleet will be boosted by the Magellano 25 Metri

The Azimut-Benetti Group said its return to “full-time capacity” – with increased shifts to make up for the lost weeks of production – followed a six-week process behind the scenes to ensure the safety of all employees, while working closely with union representatives.

Marco Valle, CEO of Azimut Yachts, said: “We never stopped. In fact, during lockdown, our international standing held us in good stead, allowing us to close contracts amounting to €30 million in orders, helped in no small way by our proactivity in geographic areas not yet affected by the pandemic.”

During this period, Azimut ran 17 interactive online courses on subjects ranging from technical to marketing and sales, involving 236 people throughout Europe, the Middle East and the Far East.

Marco Valle: “Our international standing held us in good stead.”

Azimut has also launched an online Virtual Lounge , which will host the brand’s first e-Boat Show from May 27-30, featuring Live Chat sessions and one-to-one video appointments with sales and technical specialists from the shipyard.

Franco Fusignani, CEO at Benetti, said he was also satisfied with the superyacht builder’s performance during the lockdown, especially as none of the workers at any of the shipyards contracted Covid-19.

“It hasn’t been easy, but we managed to keep business going with no serious setbacks,” Fusignani said.

Franco Fusignani: “We managed to keep business going with no serious setbacks.”

“Thanks to our facilities being located in different regions of Italy, we were even able to continue with production focused on April and May deliveries. At the same time, we ensured maximum protection levels for our workers through the adoption of all the safety procedures, enabling us not to have any Covid cases.”

Ongoing builds include Azimut’s much-anticipated Magellano 25 Metri and Benetti’s first Oasis 40 Metri , while Lusben, the Group’s refit company, closed a number of contracts to take the total number of boats being managed to 46.

Giovanna Vitelli, Vice President of Azimut-Benetti Group, said: “We are fortunate in that we are not only a strong company but also have substantial credibility at an international level. We want to draw on this as we play our part in upholding the precious ‘Made in Italy’ values and demonstrating that our country is on the road to recovery.”

Sunreef Yachts Creates Eco Range of Luxury Sail and Power Catamarans

Sunreef Yachts Creates Eco Range of Luxury Sail and Power Catamarans

April 27, 2020
3:00 pm

Polish builder Sunreef is developing an Eco range of catamarans that feature specially designed solar panels on the hull, flybridge and mast.

Sunreef Yachts is developing a new range of Eco catamarans, both power and sail, as the Polish builder promotes “responsible boating” and a solar-powered, fuel-free way of cruising and living at sea. The new range has a dedicated website: www.sunreef-yachts-eco.com

The 80 Sunreef Eco powercat is due to launch in the second half of 2020

The first 80 Sunreef Eco powercat is scheduled to launch in the second half of the year and will be followed by the 70 Sunreef Eco and two sailing catamarans, the Sunreef 70 Eco and Sunreef 80 Eco. Renderings of the 80 Sunreef Eco show the model with two windmills, as the Gdansk shipyard is also exploring the benefits of wind power.

Over the past year, Sunreef has launched electric/hybrid versions of its 50 and 60 sailing catamarans, the latter named E and displayed at last year’s Cannes Yachting Festival.

However, the new range features patent-pending technology developed by Sunreef including 1mm-thick solar panels fitted on the hull and flybridge, as well as on the foredeck of powercats and even on the mast of sailing cats. The Eco range also features electric propulsion, custom-built battery banks, and naturally-sourced and recyclable materials.

The Sunreef 70 Eco shows solar panels fitted on the hull, flybridge and even mast

Francis Lapp, founder and President of Sunreef Yachts, said: “It is vital that the industry follows the growing demand for more sustainable crafts. We are talking about the future of yachting and I know Sunreef Yachts can make a change.

“Sunreef Yachts Eco catamarans are a concept going far beyond electric propulsion systems. Everything on board, from batteries to fabrics and structural materials to water management, reflects a new yachting philosophy.”

The shipyard is designing and manufacturing what it calls “the industry’s lightest solar power systems”, featuring solar panels less than 1mm thick and industry-leading solar cells (peak performance 24 per cent).

The 70 Sunreef Eco powercat is also among future models

Sunreef’s R&D department has conceived a new method of integrating the panels within composite structures so they can be mounted on any surface of the yacht, vastly increasing the amount of solar power.

The shipyard states that 200sqm of solar panels on the upcoming 80 Sunreef Eco weigh 360kg and generate 40kWh peak. In comparison, a 20kW generator weighting 400kg generates two times less power.

For redundant, safe energy storage, all Eco catamarans are equipped with at least two ultra-light battery banks (5kg per kWh), which have a life of 5,000 cycles and range from 90kWh to 1MWh depending on the yacht model. The stored energy powers the electric propulsion and all ‘household’ appliances including air-conditioning, without using the generator.

The company is also incorporating naturally-sourced materials like basalt and linen elements, sustainable alternatives to e-glass that offer excellent mechanical properties, while interiors will use natural, reclaimed or recycled fabrics and materials.

Sanlorenzo Asia Office To Open Beside Simpson Marine in Singapore

April 22, 2020
11:11 pm

Designed by Piero Lissoni, the first Sanlorenzo Asia office adjoins Simpson Marine’s Singapore headquarters in Sentosa Cove and opens in May.

Sanlorenzo Asia has completed the construction of its flagship office, which overlooks ONE˚15 Marina, Sentosa Cove in Singapore and is scheduled to begin operations in May. The office was designed by Piero Lissoni of Lissoni Associati and is connected to the new Singapore office of Simpson Marine, Sanlorenzo’s partner in Asia.

Sanlorenzo Art Director Piero Lissoni designed the office, located in Sentosa Cove

Sanlorenzo Asia – a collaboration between the shipyard and Simpson Marine – has represented the Italian builder in the region since 2015.

Nick Stratton, Sanlorenzo Asia Sales Manager, said: “We have delivered a number of Sanlorenzo yachts throughout Southeast Asia including new models like the SX88, SL102 Asymmetric and the imposing SD126, while a spectacular 44Alloy from our superyacht division is expected to arrive early next year, adding to an impressive and growing fleet.

The side walls replicate freight containers, a design used on Sanlorenzo displays at major boat shows around the world

“The opening of the Singapore flagship office further demonstrates our commitment to the region and reflects the outstanding success we have had with the brand in recent years. A natural hub for our Southeast Asian activities, this beautiful lounge will be a space for owners to enjoy and for future owners to explore and appreciate the brand.”

Framed on two sides by metal walls replicating freight containers, a reference to the world of nautical construction, the office design continues the industrial theme of Sanlorenzo displays at major international yacht shows.

The office comprises a desk area, Sanlorenzo model yachts and a lounge

Also inspired by the formal settings created for the brand’s participation in cultural events like Art Basel, Lissoni has created a space of minimalist elegance, furnished with contemporary design pieces.

Lissoni, Sanlorenzo Art Director, said: “For us, this is a very important project, a window in a part of the world that has some of the most beautiful, special seas on the planet. At the same time, it is a positive development in this moment of worldwide crisis. Singapore will be one of the first steps in the new process of growth of Sanlorenzo.”

Swan 58 Designed by German Frers Bought by Japan-Based Owner

March 27, 2020
11:05 am

Japan buyer among early sales for new Swan 58 model, which will launch this summer and sit at the heart of the five-model Swan Yachts range.

A Japan-based owner has bought hull number two of the upcoming Swan 58, with the first hull expected to launch in Finland by the end of June. The model’s world premiere is scheduled for the 52nd Boot Dusseldorf in January 2021.

The first Swan 58 will be launched in northern Finland in early summer

Nautor’s Swan, which announced a 50 per cent growth in turnover for 2019, revealed details of the yacht in January. Six units had been sold by late February.

The Swan 58 is the first of that name ever produced by the historic Finnish yard, founded in 1966. In contrast, the 48 launched last year was the third model of the same name and the second designed by the legendary German Frers, who designed the 58 and all other models in the current Swan Yachts and Maxi Swan ranges.

Frers, whose former Swan designs  include the similarly-sized 56 and 57 (second version), created the 58 as a fast bluewater cruiser that can be comfortably sailed by a couple, with a performance package as an option.

The Swan 58 features an owner suite forward and two guest cabins aft

Below deck the interior has a forward owner stateroom with en-suite bathroom and two aft cabins with en-suites. Options include a fourth cabin midships for guests or crew and a crew cabin in the forepeak.

A new cockpit design includes twin tables that can connect to form a 10-seat dining table or separately be converted into sunbeds. The Swan 58 joins the 48, 54, 65 and 78 in the Swan Yachts range, while the builder’s other lines comprise Maxi Swan Yachts (98, 120) and ClubSwan Yachts (36, 50, 125).

Swan staged the world premiere of the ClubSwan 36 at Dusseldorf in January , while last year’s premieres included the Swan 65 at Dusseldorf and the Swan 48 at Cannes.

Launched in 2018, the SX76 is Sanlorenzo’s smallest model

“Sanlorenzo is becoming a dominant force in Asia and we are delighted with our new Southeast Asia flagship office in Singapore. We are confident that when borders reopen, we will see the same growth in this area. This year will mark a record number of Sanlorenzo deliveries in Asia and several yachts are already under construction for the spring and summer 2021.”

Swan’s New Maxi Era Starts with Swan 98, ClubSwan 125

March 19, 2020
11:10 am

Nautor’s Swan is building five new-generation maxi-yachts in northern Finland, with the Swan 98 the first on show in September.

Nautor’s Swan is currently building five maxi superyachts that will launch a new era for the Finnish builder, starting with the world premiere of the Swan 98 at this year’s Monaco Yacht Show, scheduled for September 23-26.

The Swan 98 world premiere is scheduled for the Monaco Yacht Show

Three units have already been sold and the first will hit the water in the summer outside the BTC (Boat Technology Centre) in Pietarsaari, northern Finland, where construction continues year-round despite the snow season typically lasting from November to May.

A ClubSwan 125, designed to break many long-standing world records, is also under construction and set to launch in the autumn, while the first Swan 120 is expected to launch in early summer next year.

Maxi Swan (98, 120) is one of the yard’s three ranges along with Swan Yachts (48, 54, 58, 65, 78) and ClubSwan (36, 50, 125), the latter group all designed by Argentine Juan Kouyoumdjian, 49.

The Swan 98 features an elegant, spacious exterior by German Frers

German Frers, also from Argentina, has worked with the Finnish yard since 1981 and the legendary 78-year-old designer is behind the 98 and 120, as well as the entire Swan Yachts line from 48-78ft.

The 98’s hull and deck are built using epoxy Sprint pre-preg carbon-fibre interior, with exterior skins on a core of M-grade Corecell foam, providing structural rigidity and light weight.

The 30m model features two layouts – owner aft and owner forward, each with three additional guest cabins – and four different interior moods.

Swan 98 hull one features the Traditional Navy mood by Misa Poggi

Misa Poggi has developed of the three themes featuring Italian textiles and leathers – Timeless Classical White, Traditional Navy and Wine Cowes. Spirit of Finland, a Nordic-inspired mood, has been created by the shipyard’s interior department.

Hull one has an owner-aft layout and a warm Traditional Navy mood featuring furniture and floorboards in dark oak with a satin finish, as well as cognac-coloured leather panelling in the saloon.

Giovanni Pomati, Group CEO, said: “Nautor’s Swan is excited to introduce the new era of Maxi Swan with the Swan 98 to the world in September. She is a modern masterpiece of design and construction, the perfect blend of performance, elegance and luxury. She is destined to become a timeless superyacht.”

Since 1966, Swan has built more than 2,000 yachts between 36-131ft. Its 2019 sales were split between North Europe and Russia (42 per cent), Southern Europe, Middle East and Africa (38 per cent), Asia-Pacific (10 per cent) and Americas (10 per cent). A new Swan 48 was recently delivered to Japan.
