Leopard reveals upgraded 53 Powercat

February 19, 2026
9:47 am

Leopard Catamarans has debuted the ‘refined’ edition of its 53 Powercat, which is set to have its Asia premiere at this year’s Singapore Yachting Festival.

Leopard Catamarans staged the world premiere of its the upgraded 53 Powercat at this year’s Miami International Boat Show in February. Building upon the foundation of its predecessor, with over 140 units delivered, the new 53 Powercat is available for private owners and within The Moorings Yacht Ownership Program, which offers a guaranteed income stream and alongside owner use.

The yacht retains its efficient hull design and twin 370hp Yanmar engines, which offer top speeds up to 24 knots and an extensive range. The key focus of the redesign is the enhancement of the expansive exterior living areas, with the aft cockpit now available in a flexible ‘Alfresco’ modular furniture setup or a traditional fixed configuration.

The aft area benefits from an enhanced walk-through transom and optional redesigned electric lifting platform, which can extend the cockpit area or carry a tender in the raised position, and be lowered to provide a spacious swim platform.

The flybridge, often described as the heart of the boat, has been refined. It now features a more spacious and comfortable seating layout with modular back cushions and new fabric, an upgraded helm station with improved visibility and ergonomics, and a sophisticated outdoor galley with an integrated sink, grill and refrigeration.

Other changes include modernised cockpit lighting for ambiance and functionality, plus ambient and task flybridge lighting built into seating and structure for night use.

Inside, the saloon has undergone a major refresh, with redesigned seating, upgraded premium finishes and an enhanced connection between the galley, dining and lounge areas. An important engineering update includes housing all major systems in a separate, sealed engine room, substantially reducing engine noise and vibration.

The 53 Powercat continues to be offered with three or four en-suite cabins, with the owner’s version providing a private suite in the starboard hull with a large island bed aft, spacious walk-in closet and en-suite bathroom forward.

The new flagship of the brand’s Power range is scheduled to have its Asia debut at the Singapore Yachting Festival (April 23-26), where it will be part of another strong in-water display by Leopard at ONE°15 Marina Sentosa Cove.

Franck Bauguil, Senior Vice President of Yacht Ownership & Product Development for Leopard Catamarans and The Moorings, stated: “The refined Leopard 53 Powercat is a testament to our commitment to continuous innovation and listening to the needs of our global owners. We haven’t just refreshed the finishes; we’ve optimised the experience at the same price point.

“The combination of its exceptional new living spaces, smart ergonomic design and enhanced level of comfort truly sets a new standard for luxury power catamaran cruising. It remains the ideal platform for both extended private voyages and successful charter ownership through The Moorings.”

Aquila debuts first sailing catamaran

February 18, 2026
11:45 pm

The Aquila 50 Sail is the first model in a new series of sailing catamarans from one of the world’s leading powercat builders.

Aquila 50 Sail

Aquila staged the world premiere of its 50 Sail at this year’s Miami International Boat Show, with the model set to make its Europe debut at the International Multihull Show (April 22-26) in La Grande Motte on France’s south coast. Aquila’s 44 Sail is set to debut later this year, with the 65 Sail scheduled to splash in 2027.

Conceived by an Aquila leadership team boasting vast sailing experience, each of Aquila’s sailing catamarans have been developed with long-standing design partner J&J Design, the Slovenia-based studio that has designed many sail boats among its portfolio of 400 production boat designs for 70 builders.

Throughout the Aquila Sail range, propulsion options include diesel engines or Hybrid Ocean Drive™, the latter providing silent electric propulsion or diesel power when conditions demand it.

Aquila signatures carried over from the powercat line include flybridge-to-bow stairs and a solid foredeck with a large seating area. Inside, a well-appointed saloon and galley have panoramic windows to increase natural light.

On the 50 Sail, owners can choose four, five or six cabins in the hulls. Each cabin has extensive headroom and storage, a private entrance and an en-suite bathroom with walk-in shower. The optional owner’s suite offers a queen-sized bed, large hull windows, generous storage and en-suite bathroom with washer/dryer utility area.

Jean Raas, Chief Product Officer and CEO of Aquila USA, said: “Introducing our Sail range was a natural evolution for Aquila and marks an exciting new chapter in our journey as a global boat manufacturer.

“Our team brings decades of hands-on sailing knowledge and industry experience, which we’ve drawn upon to enter the sailing market with intention and precision. The 50 Sail embodies this expertise, and we were delighted to showcase her at the 2026 Miami International Boat Show.”

Raas is a former USA Sailing team member team and Olympic triallist, while his brother Alain Raas, Aquila’s Global Brand Director, sailed competitively from an early age and has completed trans-Pacific crossings. Lex Raas, their father and Aquila’s co-founder, is a long-time sailor and also the founder of Leopard Catamarans.

Also within Aquila, Chief Revenue Officer Nick Harvey is a lifelong sailor and worked on sailing catamarans during over two decades with Groupe Beneteau, Global Service Manager Gareth Wood captained large sailing catamarans, and Chief Designer Jure Zule has sailed competitively since young.

Frank Xiong, CEO of Sino Eagle Group, which manufactures the Aquila portfolio, has extensive experience building sailing catamarans at facilities in China, where the new Aquila Sail models are being built in Hangzhou.

Wally debuts wallypower50X in US

Wally debuts wallypower50X in US

February 18, 2026
11:27 pm

The outboard version of the wallypower50 features four Mercury engines that can power the 50-footer to 50-plus knots.

Wally staged the world premiere of the outboard-powered wallypower50X at this year’s Miami International Boat Show in February. The yacht’s standard propulsion package features four 425hp Mercury V10 Verado engines that deliver a top speed of 50 knots and a cruising speed of 34 knots, based on preliminary data.

The upgraded power pack features four 500hp Mercury Racing V8s, as fitted on the model’s second hull, which was on display at the Miami show. The Racing engines increase performance, with a predicted top speed of 54 knots and a cruising speed of 36 knots, also based on preliminary data.

Aside from outboard engines, which contribute to an overall length of 50ft 6in, the yacht is based on the wallypower50 inboard model that debuted at Boot Düsseldorf 2024.

The wallypower50 has an overall length of 47ft 11in, as it combines the naval architecture of the wallytender48 (2019) – Wally’s first model following its acquisition by Ferretti Group – with the superstructure style of the wallypower58 (2022).

The profiles of the wallypower50 and its X edition include a vertical bow, a fully concealed anchoring system, and a sharp, angular superstructure that’s enclosed on three sides.

Lounging areas includes two double island sunpads on the aft deck, with a central walkway offering easy boarding and disembarkation. Symmetrical fold-down sides increase the usable deck space by over 5sqm and create balconies over the sea, which is even more important on the outboard X version due to its row of outboards along the aft platform.

The cockpit area covered by the glazed superstructure includes a starboard sofa facing an L-shaped sofa and a table to port, which all combine to offer dining for up to eight.

Forward is a galley in the starboard corner, opposite a helm station with two of Wally’s distinctive, high-backed helm chairs, originally designed by Poltrona Frau for the wallywhy200 (89ft).

Below deck, the yacht features a small lounge area, a bathroom with separate shower to port, and an open double bed in the bow with overhead skylights. Novel features include the ‘magic portholes’, indoor screens that simulate outside views.

Benetti launches fourth B.Now 67M

Benetti launches fourth B.Now 67M

February 12, 2026
2:48 pm

Dagger is the fourth unit of the B.Now 67M with Oasis Deck® and the second hybrid edition of the RWD-designed steel superyacht.

Dagger

Benetti launched Dagger in Livorno, just three weeks after splashing Symmetry. The two 2026 launches represent the third and fourth units of the B.Now 67M, but the first two with hybrid propulsion systems. Built with a steel hull and aluminium superstructure, the B.Now 67M is a 67m, 1,350GT motoryacht with an 11m beam and features exterior design by RWD.

Symmetry features an interior by Reymond Langton Design and includes 10 special decorations ranging from custom fabrics and lacquered metals to textile artworks. A standout feature is the large chandelier in ‘ice effect’ crystal glass, a bespoke piece that reflects light in a sculptural way.

Dagger

The owner of Dagger chose Sinot Yacht Architecture & Design, the Dutch studio that also handled the interiors of Lady Estey, which is the second unit in the series and was used for the model’s world premiere at the Monaco Yacht Show last September.

Dagger’s interior includes the use of nine woods, while numerous areas have been designed as private art galleries, with special shelves for sculptures and spotlit niches recessed in the walls exhibiting paintings and artwork.

The hybrid propulsion system on Symmetry and Dagger is designed to achieve a tangible reduction in environmental impact and superior acoustic comfort, eliminating vibrations and noise both when under way and at anchor.

Dagger

The system’s three key elements – main engines, generators and battery pack – operate in variable synergy to adapt to each cruising profile, so optimising energy flows and consumption. The engines can generate electricity, the generators can contribute to propulsion, and the batteries can cover loading peaks or ensure absolute silence.

The propulsion package includes an advanced shaft line system with variable-pitch propellers, which adjust according to the navigation conditions. Technology also includes intelligent use of waste energy, including using the heat produced by the generators to warm domestic water and the swimming pool.

Dagger

Daniela Petrozzi, Benetti’s Sales Director, said: “Owners are no longer looking just for a yacht but for a more conscious and authentic way to experience the sea. These launches demonstrate how market demand is shifting towards yachts that deliver superior technological autonomy and reduced environmental impact, without ever compromising on comfort.

“For people who choose a large yacht today, the real value lies precisely in the balance between steel construction excellence and propulsion systems capable of offering a quieter and more sustainable quality of life on board.”

RSYC celebrates 200th anniversary

February 12, 2026
4:20 am

The Republic of Singapore Yacht Club honoured two centuries of heritage with a Bicentennial Charity Gala, raising over S$320,000 for The President’s Challenge

The Republic of Singapore Yacht Club (RSYC) marked its 200^th anniversary with a Bicentennial Charity Gala Dinner in the club’s Nautica Ballroom.

The milestone event was graced by Tharman Shanmugaratnam, President of the Republic of Singapore, and attended by over 130 guests including club members, sponsors and distinguished guests, raising funds in support of the President’s Challenge.

Tharman Shanmugaratnam, President of the Republic of Singapore

Founded in 1826, RSYC commemorated its rich heritage through an evening reflecting tradition and a longstanding commitment to service, tracing its journey alongside Singapore’s seafaring story as it evolved into a distinctly Singaporean and multicultural institution.

The programme opened with a Bicentennial tribute video, followed by welcome remarks by Balakrishnan B, Commodore of the RSYC.

Balakrishnan B, Commodore of Republic of Singapore Yacht Club

In honour of the club’s enduring legacy of service, fellowship and contribution to the wider community, President Tharman officiated the unveiling of the RSYC Bicentennial Plaque and the ceremonial cake-cutting. He was joined by Balakrishnan and other RSYC Committee members, as well as Desmond Lee, Minister for Education and MP for West Coast-Jurong West GRC.

The gala also marked the opening event of RSYC’s year-long bicentennial programme, designed to drive member engagement through a series of sporting and social activities held throughout 2026.

It also brought together significant figures who have shaped the club across generations including Edward Wong, Managing Director of AWP and architect of RSYC’s current clubhouse following the club’s relocation to its present premises in 1999.

Francis Lee was also honoured as RSYC’s first Singaporean Commodore (appointed in 1985) and for playing a pivotal role in redefining RSYC as a national club with an international membership, while championing initiatives that strengthened sea sports development, professional training and the preservation of the club’s history.

Desmond Lee, Minister for Education and MP for West Coast-Jurong West GRC

The highlight of the evening was a charity auction, featuring a curated selection of rare and exclusive items including a one-of-a-kind RSYC Bicentennial Commemorative Pure Gold Coin, limited-edition Bicentennial Pure Silver Coins and a rare 60-year-old Martell Cognac – one of only 12 in the world – presented in a Baccarat crystal decanter.

RSYC raised a total of S$326,692 through the gala dinner and auction, and all proceeds were directed towards The President’s Challenge – a national movement launched in 2000 by RSYC’s former Patron, the late President S R Nathan, to rally Singaporeans to build a more caring and cohesive society, and support communities in need.

RSYC presented a cheque of $326,692, raised through the gala dinner and auction, to The

President’s Challenge 2026.

Later in the evening, a cheque presentation was followed by a post-dinner heritage exhibition showcasing key milestones from the club’s long and distinguished history. As a token of appreciation, all attendees were presented with a specially produced RSYC Bicentennial commemorative gold-plated coin as a door gift.

Balakrishnan said: “As we mark 200 years of the Republic of Singapore Yacht Club, this bicentennial milestone reflects our enduring maritime heritage and the values that have shaped the club generations. We are honoured to commemorate this historic occasion through a meaningful initiative in support of the President’s Challenge, reaffirming RSYC’s long-standing commitment to contributing positively to Singapore’s community.”

Looking ahead, RSYC will continue to build on its heritage as a premier institution, honour its seafaring legacy and chart its next chapter through milestone occasions and activities that contribute meaningfully to national causes and Singapore’s future.

The Bicentennial Charity Gala was made possible with the support of Platinum Sponsors Royal Salute Scotch Whiskey and Martell; Gold Sponsors Asiatic Fire System, Marina Technology and Construction, Nippon Paint and OCBC; and Silver Sponsors AWP Architects, Cloudable Solutions and Sindcon. Neo Garden served as the Official Caterer, with Adidas as the Official Merchandiser.

Sanlorenzo launches second 50Steel

February 11, 2026
2:06 am

The second unit of Sanlorenzo’s 50Steel superyacht series is in the water, with more in build.

The second hull of Sanlorenzo’s hybrid 50Steel series has been launched in La Spezia, Italy. Designed by Zuccon International Project with interiors styled in-house, the second unit follows on from the launch of the first 50Steel, Almax, in the summer of 2024.

Tommaso Vincenzi, CEO of Sanlorenzo, commented: “The 50Steel line perfectly expresses Sanlorenzo’s approach to innovation. From the first unit, it introduces pioneering solutions that anticipate where our industry is heading.”

Noting that another three units from the 50Steel series have already been allocated to owners and are currently in production, Vincenzi added: “The market response confirms that owners recognise this direction not as an experiment but as a credible and desirable evolution of the superyacht.”

As with Almax, the second Sanlorenzo 50Steel features a pioneering green-methanol fuel-cell system that converts methanol into hydrogen, creating up to 100kW of electricity to power onboard systems in a sustainable and eco-friendly way.

The 50m, sub-500GT superyacht features a patented hidden engine room design, with the traditional two-level layout reconfigured into a horizontal arrangement that unlocks increased volumes for guest spaces across the lower deck. The yacht accommodates up to 10 guests and nine crew.

Benetti introduces B.Neos

Benetti introduces B.Neos

February 5, 2026
1:36 pm

A sailboat-inspired, family-friendly hybrid superyacht, the B.Neos 40M is designed by Malcolm McKeon Yacht Design and FM Architettura.

Benetti has presented the B.Neos 40M, a 40.63m hybrid motoryacht. The exterior by Malcolm McKeon Yacht Design is inspired by the sleek, low profile of a sailing boat, while its informal, light wood interiors are by FM Architettura.

Giovanna Vitelli, Chair of Azimut|Benetti Group, said: “With B.Neos, we rethought the entire ownership experience to remove complexity and bother. We chose proportion over volume and used technology to eliminate redundancy. The result is a yacht inspired by the intelligence of sailing, with a sleek, low-profile silhouette and a perfect balance.”

Malcolm McKeon, who founded his UK-based studio in 1994, echoed Vitelli’s comments: “We worked to translate the aesthetic purity of a sailing yacht into this motor yacht’s layout, keeping the profile low and the lines as essential as possible.

“The focus remained on balanced proportions and a constant dialogue with the environment, using expansive glass and low bulwarks so the connection with the sea is never interrupted”.

The 296GT motoryacht has twin MAN V8-800 engines and a range of 2,600nm at 10 knots. Hybrid operating modes include Zero-Emission and Hotel Mode for silent electric power, Diesel-Electric and Crossover for fuel efficiency, and Boost Mode for torque and manoeuvring.

According to Benetti, the B.Neos 40M is the first sub-300GT displacement yacht to feature hybrid propulsion as standard, and the advanced technology integrated into the design offers a 30 per cent reduction in energy consumption compared to a vessel of the same size.

The yacht’s open, flowing layout and relaxed furniture and décor are focused on what Benetti describes as an “informal and personal lifestyle”.

Francesca Muzio, co-founder of FM Architettura, describes the interior design as “a warm, homey atmosphere”, adding: “Using a palette of light wood, glass and neutral surfaces, we created a personal canvas for owners to enhance with their own memories.”

On the main deck, the open aft deck includes a swimming pool flanked by facing sofas. Forward is what Benetti calls the ‘Sea Atrium’, a covered area with floor-to-ceiling glazing that starts with informal dining and seating areas. Two steps lead up to the main saloon, where large sofas face a full-height TV cabinet. Forward is an athwartships dining table and an open-plan, ‘family kitchen’ galley.

The upper deck includes a forward-facing master suite with 270-degree views and access to a foredeck with day beds. The open aft deck includes dining and lounging areas plus stairs to the observation deck. The lower deck includes four guest cabins, while there are four cabins for seven crew.

B.Neos is a new addition to Benetti’s yacht ‘families’, which include Custom, B.Loft (58M, 65M), B.Now (52M, 60M, 67M, 72M), B.Yond (40M, 57M), Oasis (34M, 42M), Motopanfilo (37M, 45M) and Class (44M).

Maritimo M50 set for US debut

February 5, 2026
1:28 pm

The Australian shipyard’s all-new M50 will make its North American premiere in Palm Beach in late March.

Maritimo will unveil its all-new M50 (click for Review) to the North American market at the Palm Beach International Boat Show (March 25-29) in Florida. The enclosed-flybridge motoryacht will exhibit alongside the M55, S55 sedan and M75, the flagship of the Australian shipyard founded by Bill Barry-Cotter (click for interview).

Keith Teynor, Maritimo’s Managing Director of the Americas, said: “Palm Beach has long been a cornerstone event for Maritimo in North America. It’s the perfect stage to introduce the M50, an incredibly important model for Maritimo as 50ft is a true sweet spot for owner-operators. It delivers the offshore capability, comfort and versatility needed for a wide range of cruising styles and conditions.

“Just as important is the exceptional owner experience we’re able to deliver through our factory-direct sales model where customers work directly with the people who design, build and stand behind their yachts. That relationship is a defining part of the Maritimo ownership journey.”

Powered by twin 800hp Volvo Penta D13 inboard engines on straight shafts, the M50 cruises at 24 knots and has a top speed of about 30 knots, while range benefits from a 3,700-litre fuel capacity.

The aft area includes a fold-up swim platform and a cockpit offering alfresco dining. The interior includes an aft, L-shaped galley featuring a central island, premium European appliances and extensive storage.

Forward, the saloon features two facing sofas and an adjustable table. To port, stairs lead aft to the enclosed flybridge, which includes a twin-seat helm station, sofas fore and aft with pull-out convertible accommodation, refrigeration, and three overhead skylights, two of which can open.

The lower deck includes a full-beam master suite featuring expansive hull windows with opening portholes, two large hanging wardrobes, and a large en-suite bathroom. Forward, a luxurious VIP stateroom features a versatile double berth that converts into two singles, abundant storage, and access to a forward bathroom that doubles as the day head.

Galeon 560 Fly reaches sales milestone

February 5, 2026
1:19 pm

The 560 Fly, which recently had its Asia premiere in Hong Kong, has reached over 50 global sales – and is now available with a refreshed interior.

Galeon 560 Fly

Dealer Asiamarine has announced that the Galeon 560 Fly has racked up over 50 sales in three years, following its world premiere at the 2023 Miami International Boat Show. The 560 Fly (click for Review) is also among Galeon models to benefit from an interior refresh by In Situ & Partners.

The Hong Kong-based studio first collaborated with Galeon on an interior update of the 640 Fly, which was presented at Boot Düsseldorf 2025, before designing the interior of the all-new 620 Fly that had its world premiere at last September’s Cannes Yachting Festival.

More recently, In Situ & Partners redesigned the interior of the 560 Fly, which was showcased with its new Ocean-themed décor at this year’s edition of Boot Düsseldorf, along with the brand’s 510 Sky, 450 HTC, 410 HTC and 335 GTO.

“This sophisticated Ocean theme, emphasising muted tones and natural materials for modern living aboard, attracted considerable international attention and a surge of global enquiries, further solidifying the model’s appeal,” Asiamarine stated.

In December 2025, Asiamarine staged the Asia premiere of the Galeon 560 Fly at the Hong Kong International Boat Show at Club Marina Cove. The model is still available for viewing.

Eric Noyel, Asiamarine’s founder and CEO, said: “The sales milestone of over 50 units is a powerful testament to the 560 Fly’s innovative engineering and sophisticated design. The enthusiastic response to the In Situ-designed interior in Düsseldorf confirms its status as a category leader, and we are hopeful to see more of these exceptional yachts arriving to meet growing interest across Asia.”
