CL Yachts expects to launch its flagship CLX96 (click to read more) in November, well ahead of the model’s scheduled world premiere at the 2022 Miami Yacht Show from February 16-20. With painting on the pilothouse and flybridge now complete, the team is moving its attention to the main deck and hull paintwork before the yacht is launched and undergoes sea trials.

Inside, the main saloon’s unique bleached-teak deck flooring has been installed, allowing the galley cabinetry to be put in situ. The master, VIP and two guest staterooms have been fitted with fabrics, natural wood tones and Corian.
