Sanlorenzo enters “world of sport yachts” with SP110

September 13, 2022
2:03 am

The builder has kick-started its ‘smart performance’ series with a triple-waterjet open coupé.

The SP110 can reach 40 knots

Sanlorenzo launched its ‘smart performance’ series with the world premiere of the SP110, which was unveiled along with the SD90 among the builder’s 10 boats at the Cannes Yachting Festival. The two-deck 108-footer is Sanlorenzo’s first open coupé and marks its entry into the world of sport yachts, with a top speed of 40 knots when employing all three 2,000hp MAN V12 engines.

Sanlorenzo has used new colours on the SP110

However, the yacht is also designed to be particularly efficient at various cruising speeds and uses a fractional propulsion system, so it can either use two or even just one of the engines. The boat is equipped with an energy recovery system that uses monocrystalline solar panels, while the extensive use of lightweight materials further improves consumption and performance.

The platform folds down to reveal wide steps

Tilli Antonelli coordinated the design of the SP110, which features exterior lines by Studio Zuccon International Project, interior by Sanlorenzo’s in-house Art Director Piero Lissoni and a hull design by Marco Arnaboldi optimised for use with hydrojet propulsion.

The saloon on the main deck

The yacht features a huge aft platform that leads down to a lower-deck lounge and cabins, and up several steps to the main saloon in a distinctive atrium-style design.

The SD90 is new entry-level yacht for a semi-displacement series that includes the SD96 and SD118 and features an exterior by Zuccon, interior by Patricia Urquiola and hull design in collaboration with Philippe Briand.

SD90 is Sanlorenzo’s entry-level semi-displacement model

The SD90 has a sub-24m hull length and an overall length of 27.4m, plus top speeds of 14 knots and 17 knots with optional MAN i6-800 or 1,150hp CAT C18 engines respectively. Sanlorenzo has been represented in Asia by Simpson Marine since 2015.

Azimut debuts two Grande ‘Low Emission Yachts’

Azimut debuts two Grande ‘Low Emission Yachts’

September 12, 2022
3:21 am

The Italian builder premiered the Grande 26 Metri and 36 Metri superyachts among 15 models at this year’s Cannes Yachting Festival.

Azimut Grande 26 Metri

Azimut staged the world premieres of the Grande 26 Metri and Grande 36 Metri at this year’s Cannes Yachting Festival, where it announced that both superyachts joined the builder’s series of Low Emission Yachts. Both new Grande superyachts feature exterior styling by Alberto Mancini and interiors by Achille Salvagni, who both worked on the shipyard’s 38m flagship Grande Trideck that debuted in 2021.

Azimut showed the Grande 26 Metri and Grande 36 Metri as part of a large display at Cannes along with the Grande Trideck, Grande 32 Metri, Grande 27 Metri, Magellano 66, Fly 78, Fly 72, Fly 60, Fly 50, Fly 53, S10, S8, S6 and Atlantis 51. The Magellano 30 Metri was also scheduled to debut at Cannes, but didn’t attend due to owner use.

Aft view of the saloon

The shipyard’s decade-long commitment to reducing emissions is focused on reducing weight by using more carbon-fibre, research into increasingly efficient hulls, and alternative propulsion systems. Azimut says 50 per cent of models in its full range are now Low Emission Yachts, which it defines as those with 20 per cent less emissions than the market average.

The Grande 26 Metri is the shipyard’s first model to feature the new Pod 4600 propulsion system in partnership with ZF, which combines with a 30 per cent lighter superstructure – due to the extensive use of carbon-fibre – to deliver 20 per cent lower fuel consumption than other yachts of the same size at the most frequently set speeds.

Deck2Deck™ Terrace on the Grande 26 Metri

The 86-footer has a full-beam owner’s suite on the main deck, four guest cabins on the lower deck, and separate flows for guests and crew, as is the case on superyachts. Its signature feature is the Deck2Deck™ Terrace, formed when the transom raises to main-deck level to expand the aft cockpit, allowing it to be used as a lounge space or a dining area with a walkaround table.

The Grande 36 Metri also joins the Low Emission Yachts series due extensive use of carbon-fibre in the superstructure and a D2P® Displacement-to-Planing hull, designed with Pierluigi Ausonio Naval Architecture. Azimut says both factors help reduce CO2 emissions by up to 30 per cent compared to boats of the same weight and size with a traditional chine hull.

Azimut Grande 36 Metri

The 116-footer features an upper deck that runs on the same level from the stern to the tip of the bow and an ‘infinity sky deck’, with the glazed surfaces in the skylounge retracting to open views on three sides.

Marine Italia, which represents Azimut in Hong Kong, Macau, Guangdong, Taiwan and Singapore, has already sold a Grande 26 Metri scheduled to arrive in Hong Kong next year and a Magellano 30 Metri expected in the city in 2024. The dealer’s recent superyacht sales also include a Grande Trideck scheduled to arrive in Singapore in 2023.

Jeanneau Yachts 65

Port Canto’s Sailing Zone is playing host to the world premieres of new sailing flagships from Beneteau and Jeanneau at year’s Cannes Yachting Festival. The Jeanneau Yachts 65 (Review, Issue 66) is the brand’s new flagship, the model appearing a year after the 60 and ahead of the upcoming 55, all three designed by Philippe Briand and Winch Design. Like the 60, the 65 offers numerous semi-custom options including a hard top with sliding sunroof.

Beneteau Oceanis Yacht 60 & First 44

Beneteau’s Oceanis Yacht 60 is designed by Italians Roberto Biscontini and Lorenzo Argento – who also collaborated on the First Yacht 53 and Oceanis Yacht 54 – and the new flagship’s notable features include a master cabin in the bow with a forward-facing bed. The same design team are behind Beneteau’s other world premiere, the First 44, a cruiser-racer with the option of a performance version with a different mast and rig.

Beneteau First 36

The shipyard is also hosting the Cannes debut of the First 36, which debuted at this year’s Palma International Boat Show. The yacht has received rave reviews for its performance, the result of an international design team including Argento, naval architect Sam Manuard, Slovenia’s Gigodesign for the interior, and New Zealand’s Pure Design & Engineering.

Swan 55

Nautor’s Swan is debuting the Swan 55, which has over 50 years of evolution since the first model of that name was designed by Sparkman & Stephens and launched in 1970. Today, the new Swan 55 is by German Frers, who in over four decades of designing for the Finnish builder, also designed the model’s more recent predecessors, the Swan 56 and two Swan 53s.

Sunreef 80 Eco

Port Canto is also home to many of the key new catamarans released this year including Sunreef’s 80 Eco (Review, Issue 66), the first sailing model from its Eco series featuring an integrated solar panel ‘skin’ integrated into the hull sides, superstructure, hard top and even mast. Other green tech includes a hydrogeneration system, ultra-light lithium batteries and ultra-efficient air conditioning.

Lagoon 51

The Lagoon 51 (Review, Issue 67) is the newest model among in the brand’s strong display at Cannes, having debuted at this year’s International Multihull Show at La Grande Motte. New features include integrated solar panels in the coachroof and hard top, while the mast has been shifted forward to the front of the saloon, increasing the seating area inside.

Fountaine Pajot Aura 51

Fountaine Pajot is staging the world premiere its Aura 51 (Review, Issue 66), which also features integrated solar panels and is the first model released as part of the builder’s Odysséa 2024 strategic plan. The model on show at Cannes is the new Smart Electric version, while the impressive new design features include a much wider saloon opening that helps connect the interior and exterior.

Bali 4.4

Bali’s newest model is its 4.4 (Review, Issue 65), which is appearing at Cannes following its debut at La Grande Motte. The latest of five sailing models launched by the brand since 2020, the 4.4 features all the brand’s key features including the ‘Bali tilting door’, opening saloon windows, enormous fridge/freezer capacity, and a rigid foredeck with sunbathing areas and a sunken lounge.

Excess 14

Meanwhile, the global debut of the Excess 14 represents arguably the young brand’s most pioneering design yet. Like the 11, 12 and 15, the 14 has twin helm stations aft, while innovations include asymmetric hulls with redesigned windows. The model has an-almost 44ft waterline length, while her overall length can range between 46-52ft depending on the bowsprit and platform. A ‘skylounge’ option offers lounging space on the top for use while anchored or moored.

Cannes Yachting Festival: International motor yachts

September 5, 2022
11:06 am

In the second of a three-part series on the 2022 Cannes Yachting Festival, Yacht Style highlights global debuts and new models from international motor yacht builders.

Sunseeker 100 Yacht

Sunseeker’s 100 Yacht is the biggest new motor yacht to emerge from the UK this year and the star of the Poole builder’s display at this year’s Cannes Yachting Festival. The first hull was only delivered in the summer, yet the yard revealed at least 15 sales before its world premiere. Powered by twin MTU 12V 2000 M96X or 16V 2000 M96L engines, the 100 Yacht can reach up to 29 knots.

Notable features include a flybridge with complete walk-around access from bow to stern, while the forward area has two separate seating arrangements and cinema-screen capability. The full-beam master suite forward on the main deck is another standout zone, with floor-to-ceiling windows on both sides and a signature glass atrium door forward that leads up to a private bow terrace.

Sunseeker Predator 65

Sunseeker is also showing the new Predator 65, which had its world premiere at this year’s Palm Beach International Boat Show. The 65-footer offers Volvo Penta IPS 1200 or 1350 engines, hitting 35 knots with the latter, and expands a Predator series that ranges from the 55 EVO™ to the 74XPS.

Princess V50

Princess is staging the world premiere of the Open version of its new V50, a model that had its boat show premiere at Palm Beach. The V50 has a new deep-V hull and an extended canopy over the cockpit, as well as newly refined interior fixtures and fittings, as seen on the V55. The V50’s standard ‘deck saloon’ and Open versions have completely different saloon and cockpit layouts.

CGI of Fairline Phantom 65

Fairline is hosting the world premieres of the Phantom 65 and the newly upgraded flagship Squadron 68 at Cannes. The Phantom 65 is the Oundle builder’s first sportbridge yacht and is based on the Targa 65, featuring sleek lines, large hull windows and a glazed sunroof forward of the sportbridge. Twin Cat C18-1150 engines and optional V12 C32-1622s deliver 31 and 35 knots respectively.

Fairline Squadron 68

The upgraded Squadron 68 features a subtly revised exterior, fresh interior layout and design, and a sleek new hardtop with fabric sliding sunroof and integrated electric sunshade aft. The main deck has a new galley design that increases workspace and fridge/freezer capacity, and incorporates a sociable bar that extends into the cockpit. Options include a tri-fold patio door and lower-helm side door.

Gulf Craft Majesty 120

Gulf Craft is staging the European debut of the Majesty 120, which had its world premiere at the Dubai International Boat Show in March and is reviewed in Issue 66 (click to read), while the UAE builder is also displaying its popular Majesty 100 for a second successive year.

CGI of Galeon 440 Fly

Poland’s Galeon is staging the world premieres of the 375 GTO and 440 Fly. The 375 GTO builds on the 325 GTO that launched in early 2021 and spearheaded the new Grand Touring Outboard series, while the 440 Fly is the latest model to utilise the shipyard’s iconic drop-down wings made popular on its 500 Fly.

Prestige M48

Among Groupe Beneteau brands, Prestige’s M48 is among the most anticipated world premieres at Cannes, as one of the first powercats by a leading monohull builder, albeit one with Lagoon as a sister company. Designed by long-time Prestige designer Garroni Design of Italy with French naval architect Philippe Briand, the 14.8m yacht is tall and thin, with just a 6m beam, while options include a full-beam master suite forward.

Prestige X60

Prestige is also showing the X60, which debuted at this year’s Miami International Boat Show. Like the flagship X70, the X60 also has a swim platform with drop-down sofa, a clear balustrade and long covered cockpit, although unlike its widebody big sister, it does have one side deck, to port. Other new features include a sliding door on the port side of the saloon.

Jeanneau DB/43

Jeanneau’s DB/43 is an exciting newcomer as the brand enters the premium dayboat market with its flagship motorboat, reuniting Garroni and American naval architect Michael Peters, who collaborated on current Leader and NC models. Dropdown sides expand the width to 18ft 6in, the flexible aft sofa can fold down to become a sunpad, while the two cabins below include an aft master with a double and a sofa or single bed to starboard.

Jeanneau Merry Fisher 1295 Fly

Jeanneau’s premieres also include the Cap Camarat 10.5 CC and Merry Fisher 1295 Fly, which is 7ft longer than the series’ former flagship, the Merry Fisher 1095. The 1295 Fly features three 300hp Yamaha outboard engines, while eye-catching features include a drop-down platform to starboard and three integrated sun loungers on the foredeck.

Beneteau Swift Trawler 48

Beneteau’s highlights among its 16-boat line-up at Cannes include the new Swift Trawler 48, which debuted at Miami. The model by Andreani Design succeeds the 47 as the flagship of the Swift Trawler range of seaworthy passage makers. A MICAD-designed hull helps provide a 600nm-plus range at nine knots with twin Cummins engines, with the 425hp options giving a top speed of 25 knots.

Leopard 46 Powercat

Leopard’s newest model on display at Cannes is the 46 Powercat (Review, Issue 65), which debuted at Miami and is among the brand’s full fleet of power and sailing models at Cannes. Following the 53 launched in 2020, the 46 is the second of a new three-model powercat line-up and its features include the brand’s signature large flybridge and a door to the foredeck.

Cannes Yachting Festival: Italy in the spotlight

September 5, 2022
1:58 am

Yacht Style highlights world premieres and new models from Italian motor yacht builders at the 2022 Cannes Yachting Festival, in the first of a three-part series.

Azimut Grande 36 Metri

Azimut-Benetti and Ferretti Group are again among the largest exhibitors at this year’s Cannes Yachting. Azimut is staging the global debuts of its Grande 36 Metri and its Grande 26 Metri, which both feature exterior styling by Alberto Mancini and interiors by Achille Salvagni, the same designers behind the flagship Grande Trideck (38m) launched last year.

Azimut Grande 26 Metri

The Grande 26 Metri’s signature feature is the Deck2Deck™ terrace, where the transom rises to adjoin the main deck and expand the cockpit, which can be used as a lounge or dining area. The Grande 36 Metri is distinguished by a semi-walkaround upper deck, which runs on the same level from the stern almost to the tip of the bow.

The Magellano 30 Metri is Azimut’s other major world premiere at Vieux Port. The new flagship of the builder’s long-range series, the 97ft model features exterior styling by Ken Freivokh and interior design by Vincenzo De Cotiis, the same design team behind the Magellano 25 Metri released in late 2020.

Azimut Magellano 66

Azimut’s other new models at Cannes included the Magellano 66, a 20m model that had its debut at this year’s Venice Boat Show, and features in-house exterior and interior design.

Benetti B.Yond 37M

Benetti is staging the global debuts of the B.Yond 37M and Oasis 34M. The steel-hulled B.Yond 37M has five decks, but the shipyard is proudest of the model’s technology, describing it as “the greenest model ever built in its class”. The green tech is spearheaded by the E-Mode Hybrid system by Siemens Energy, while the yacht has four operating modes including Full Electric for zero-emission navigation.

Benetti Oasis 34M

The Oasis 34M is the little sister of the hugely popular Oasis 40M. Also featuring exterior design by UK firm RWD and an interior by New York-based Bonetti & Kozerski, the 112ft newcomer is similarly distinguished by the ‘Oasis Deck’, with opening wings either side of a beach area featuring an infinity pool integrated into the sunbathing and lounge area.

Custom Line 140’

Ferretti Group’s display is headed by the world premiere of Custom Line’s flagship 140’. A tri-deck planing yacht with a top speed over 21 knots, the 42.6m superyacht has a beam of 8.4m, a near-400GT volume, and is the third Custom Line yacht with exterior styling by Francesco Paszkowski Design and interiors by Margherita Casprini.

Riva 102’ Corsaro Super

Riva is debuting multiple models including the 76’ Bahamas Super and the 102’ Corsaro Super, both upgrades of previous models. Based on the 100’ Corsaro, the 102’ Corsaro Super’s changes include increased glazing, two saloon layouts and an extended 35sqm beach club, part of almost 100sqm of liveable open-air spaces.

Riva Anniversario

The iconic shipyard’s 180th anniversary has inspired the new Anniversario. Part of Riva’s Open range, the 33-footer pays tribute to the legendary Aquarama and has a limited-edition run of just 18 boats.

Ferretti Yachts 860

The Ferretti Yachts 860 is another world premiere. The builder’s third-biggest model behind the 920 and flagship 1000 is also the third featuring both exterior design by architect Filippo Salvetti and an interior by IdeaeItalia. Available in Classic or Contemporary ‘moods’, the interior includes Art Deco-inspired curves and a large helical staircase linking the main and lower decks.

Wallypower58

The new wallypower58 is on display at Cannes after debuting at this year’s Venice Boat Show. It’s the first wallypower model launched by Ferretti Group since it bought Wally and takes design cues from the recent wallytender48 and wallytender43, while foldout sides expand the aft deck. Look out for the ‘magic portholes’ on each side.

CGI of Sanlorenzo SP110

Sanlorenzo’s large display at Cannes includes the world premieres of the pioneering SP110 open coupé and SD90/s. The eye-catching SP110 kicks off a new ‘smart performance’ range and has a huge aft deck with a fold-down swim platform revealing integrated steps. The 33m model has a lower-deck saloon like recent Bluegame models, yet takes this a step further with an atrium-style, two-level interior. It also has a fractional propulsion system, so the yacht can move using one, two or all three of its engines.

CGI of Sanlorenzo SD90/s

The SD90/s is the new entry-level model of the builder’s SD line of semi-displacement shuttles. Featuring a sub-24m hull and an overall length of almost 28m, the SD90/s features exterior lines by Bernardo Zuccon and a Patricia Urquiola interior, while Philippe Briand was also involved in research for a model that has a sustainable hybrid propulsion system designed with Siemens.

Bluegame BG54

Bluegame’s newest model is the BG54, which debuted at this year’s Palma International Boat Show, and is profiled in Review in Issue 67. Like the builder’s other recent models, the BG54 features a huge aft swim platform and Volvo Penta IPS, which allows the engines to sit below the platform and create more room inside the lower deck, which has a spacious galley area between the forward and midships cabins.

CGI of Absolute Navetta 75

Absolute’s new flagship Navetta 75 is among its two world premieres at Cannes. The Navetta 75 features the builder’s now-signature cockpit terrace with modular furniture, stainless-steel guardrail and glazed balustrade. Other Absolute signatures include the master stateroom forward on the lower deck.

Absolute 56 Fly

The builder’s other premiere is the 56 Fly, a model already in Hong Kong and the subject of a Review in Issue 67. Like the Navetta 75 and other recent models including the 60 Fly, the 56 Fly has a clear aft cockpit with modular furniture and transparent balustrade. Other features include opening saloon windows and a full-beam beam owner’s cabin forward on the lower deck, while the shipyard continues to offer solar panels in the hard top of its new models.

The Merry Fisher 1295 Fly features triple outboards

The flybridge has seating and sunbathing areas

The large flybridge offers large social spaces with a C-shaped sofa and a table to port, while there’s also a refrigerator and an optional galley. The upper helm is to starboard, while forward is a full-width sunbathing area protected by a curved windscreen.

The aft galley connects with the cockpit

The cockpit and interior are well integrated, with the galley open to the outdoors and offering a pop-up bar top aft that further links the inside and outside.

The saloon features a C-shaped sofa

The saloon enjoys good natural light from the windows and features C-shaped seating around the main table to port. To starboard is the helm featuring a dual GPS screen as well as joystick and autopilot technology, while the skipper enjoys easy access and fresh air through a starboard door.

The owner’s suite is in the bow

Forward stairs lead to the lower deck, which offers three guest cabins including the owner suite with en-suite bathroom in the bow, while the two guest cabins midships share a portside day head that includes a separate shower.

One of the two midships guest cabins

Designed for triple 300hp outboards, the hull has been developed to plane early, even at moderate speeds, to improve fuel efficiency and comfort. The Merry Fisher 1295 Fly can also be equipped with a generator, air-conditioning, a gyroscopic Seakeeper stabiliser and a hydraulic gangway.

Asia Yachting showcases four brands in Repulse Bay

September 1, 2022
1:34 pm

The regional dealer exhibited Prestige, Fountaine Pajot and Nautique yachts at its floating showcase in Repulse Bay, with an MCY model also available for viewings.

The floating platform had eight boats on display and shuttles

Asia Yachting showcased nine yachts by Prestige, Monte Carlo Yachts, Fountaine Pajot and Nautique at its successful on-water Open Day on the south side of Hong Kong Island. Over 150 guests attended the Asia Yachting Open Day over the two days, which included shuttle transfer to a floating showcase in the middle of Repulse Bay.

Two Nautique wakeboats, five Prestige models and a Fountaine Pajot MY6

Prestige enjoyed the standout display and included the French builder’s flagship, widebody X70 as well as the 420, 520, 590 and 680 flybridge models.

Guests arrived by Asia Yachting shuttles

Another favourite was Monte Carlo Yachts’ MCY 70 Skylounge, which was moored separately to the other boats at the floating showcase. Adapted from the new MCY 70, the Skylounge version offers an enclosed flybridge featuring the yacht’s only one helm station.

The MCY 70 Skylounge was moored separately

The Skylounge design offers larger and more numerous indoor areas, and increases the ability to be used in all seasons, an attractive feature especially among the retired guests, according to Asia Yachting.

The Nautique GT23 and G25 Paragon

Nautique G23 and G25 Paragon wakeboats were also on show and proved popular with younger guests. The G25 Paragon features a 600hp engine and a configurable lounge area that converts from a social space to viewing area, ideal for a group of friends. A Fountaine Pajot MY6 power catamaran was also on show at the platform.

The Prestige X70 generated huge interest

Olivier Besson, Asia Yachting’s founder & CEO, said: “We are grateful that this on-the-water boat show turned out very successfully. It’s a great way to make use of Hong Kong’s spectacular coastline and islands. Two Nautique boats and two Prestige yachts were sold recently, so we couldn’t be happier with this achievement this summer.”

ONE°15 Marina Sentosa Cove kicks off Eco Month

August 31, 2022
9:30 pm

Celebrating its 15th anniversary this year, the Singapore marina has organised a series of sustainability-focused events and exhibitions in September.

ONE°15 Marina Sentosa Cove

Already accredited as a Platinum 5 Gold Anchor and Level 4 Clean Water marina, ONE°15 Marina Sentosa Cove (ONE°15) is hosting a month-long campaign in September dedicated to building awareness on ocean conservation, with a focus on sharks, stingrays and corals.

Building on its many sustainability initiatives including annual eco-dives and lining with its 15th-anniversary celebrations, ONE°15 wants the Eco Month to engage, educate and empower the public with the knowledge of how to help protect seas and coastlines.

Jonathan Sit, General Manager of ONE°15 Marina Sentosa Cove, said: “Water provides us with sustenance and leisure. It’s only natural we take the responsibility to solidify our efforts towards sustainability one step at time.

“We are on a mission to educate our members and the public on how everyone can play their part in being eco-conscious. On this note, it is timely that we celebrate our 15th-year milestone by shining the spotlight on key marine life and show how the luxurious and the sustainable can co-exist in many ways.”

A Seabin at ONE°15 Marina Sentosa Cove

A Coral Garden tour, scheduled to be held on September 11, will allow participants to learn about the marina’s coral restoration efforts and watch a new sea bin in operation, with the technology supplementing existing routines for cleaning the surface of the water.

On the same day, the marina will also host an Eco Talk with Sam Shu Qin, ONE°15’s Eco Advisor, who will explain how coral reefs contribute to the ecosystem while also recounting her expeditions as a marine scientist.

Throughout the month, ONE°15 is hosting an exhibition about sharks, stingrays and corals, revealing why they’re vital indicators of the ocean’s health.

In tandem with the exhibition, the marina is running a social media campaign focused on fun facts about marine conservation while encouraging the community to take charge of their own carbon and plastic footprint. To incentivise engagement, weekly giveaways will be held on social media and participants have the chance to win F&B vouchers and hotel nights at the marina.

Coral Garden

In conjunction with Eco Month, ONE°15 will also launch the Coral Garden Volunteer Program in a bid to make the project more sustainable and allow more members to enjoy it. Since the launch of the Coral Garden in 2018, ONE°15 has grown and transplanted over 239 different coral fragments in the joint project with the Tropical Marine Science Institute at National University of Singapore.

ONE°15 is also working to bring sustainability to on-land operations and recently installed an indoor vertical vegetable farm within one of its restaurants, adding to efforts to adopt sustainable food sources into its F&B operations.

The marina’s ongoing eco efforts include elimination of single-use plastics such as straws, takeaway containers, cutlery, hotel room toiletries and bin liners. The marina has pledged to eliminate all single-use plastics from operations by 2025, while upsized recycle bins have also been put in place at the marina to encourage more recycling of waste.

The Plymouth builder is staging the world premiere of the all-new F65 along with six other yachts at this year’s Southampton International Boat Show.

Princess Yachts’ seven-yacht display at this year’s Southampton International Boat Show (September 16-25) will be headlined by the global debut of the F65, the new flagship of the F Class of flybridge models.

The Plymouth builder’s other models on display comprise the F55, F50 and F45, the V55 sports yacht, S66 sportbridge and the Y72 from the larger Y Class flybridge motor yachts.

Princess S66

The Y72 on show will feature a new interior fabric range including materials from more sustainable sources than traditionally used fabrics, a taste of the builder’s upcoming Environmental and Sustainability Programme.

However, the all-new F65 will be the star attraction as it “sets the direction for an all-new design language for the F Class, with an emphasis on sculptural surfaces and lengthened feature lines”, according to Princess.

The F65’s extended knife-edge hull window running from the bow is part of a coherent look across new and upcoming products within the Princess range, while the interior styling offers “a light and airy atmosphere … establishing a contemporary feel”, the builder says.

Will Green, Executive Director, Sales and Marketing for Princess Yachts, said: “The Southampton International Boat Show has always been extremely important to Princess and it marks the start of the new selling season, often setting the direction for the year ahead.

Princess F45

“The new F65 will be a pivotal new boat for Princess and we are delighted to be able to launch her at our home show as a major draw for both UK and international customers.”

Monaco Yacht Show line-up strengthens

August 25, 2022
3:29 pm

CRN, Sanlorenzo and Sunreef yachts added as almost 80 yachts are confirmed more than a month before the superyacht spectacle from September 28-October 1.

CRN 52m Ciao

The Monaco Yacht Show website showed a list of 79 yachts already registered for this year’s show by August 25, with over 20 joining in the last two weeks. Organisers expect the number to rise to about 100 by the time of the show, which will be held from September 28-October 1 and headed by the 115m Lürssen build Ahpo (click for Review in Issue 66).

Ferretti Group’s CRN had already announced that its 62m Rio would be exhibiting but it has since been confirmed that the 52m Ciao, another 2022 delivery, will also be in the line-up, while fellow Italian builder Sanlorenzo will be exhibiting both a 52Steel and a 62Steel.

Big yachts recently added to the list include the 89m Amels Here Comes The Sun and new Amels 78 Energy, the 97m Carinthia VII by Lürssen, new 88m Project X by Golden Yachts, 86m B2 by Abeking & Rasmussen and 72m Solo by Tankoa.

Meanwhile, Poland’s Sunreef has confirmed that it will exhibit an 80 Power, Kokomo, along with its new 80 Eco, Marie-Joseph, as it celebrates its 20^th anniversary.

Kokomo, an 80 Sunreef Power

The Sunreef 80 Eco is the first sailing catamaran from the shipyard’s new Eco range and was followed later in the year by the first Sunreef 60 Eco. The 80 Eco showcases Sunreef’s groundbreaking green tech solutions including solar panels built into the yacht’s entire bodywork, including hull sides, superstructure, hard top and even mast.

The propulsion is 100 per cent electric and while under sail, the yacht keeps producing power due to a hydrogeneration system.

Sunreef 80 Eco

The Sunreef 80 Eco will be on display in the Sailing Yacht Area inside Quai l’Hirondelle alongside three other new models: the ClubSwan 80, Swan 98 and the 35m Sorvind by Southern Wind.

Other sailing yachts in the line-up include Advanced 80, 36m Perseverance 1 by Baltic Yachts, 39m State of Grace by Perini Navi and 57.5m Twizzle by Royal Huisman, while Camper & Nicholsons will exhibit the 45m Blush by Perini Navi and the 51m Borkumriff IV by Royal Huisman.
