Princess entering open dayboat market with C Class

September 18, 2025
1:36 pm

The British builder is collaborating with American naval architect Michel Peters on the C48, the first Princess motorboat available with outboard engines.

Princess C48 Open

Princess is producing its first-ever outboard model as it enters the centre-console market with a new C Class of motorboats that will start with the C48, debuting in 2027. Available in Open or enclosed Deck Saloon styles, the 14-tonne cruiser is based on a 47ft 1in hull with a beam of 13ft 8in, which expands with the deployment of drop-down sides.

Will Green, CEO of Princess, said: “The introduction of the C48 marks a defining moment for Princess, representing our bold entry into an entirely new sector. This new yacht embodies freedom, excitement and pure performance, while setting the stage for a thrilling new chapter for our smaller models.”

Michael Peters is responsible for the C48’s underwater naval architecture, centred on the American’s patented Stepped Vee Ventilated Tunnel hull. The SVVT design reduces drag and creates lift by channelling air beneath the running surface, improving performance and fuel economy. The central ventilated tunnel’s vertical sidewalls simulate the effect of a keel, enhancing grip and directional stability during turning.

Olesinski – Princess’s long-time collaborator for naval architecture – is responsible for the C48’s exterior architecture, while the shipyard’s in-house design team led by Andy Lawrence, Executive Director of Design & Development, is responsible for the styling and design.

Princess C48 Open

As Princess enters the high-powered outboard market, propulsion options include three 400hp Mercury Verado V10 petrol engines for an estimated top speed of 44-46 knots or triple 600hp Mercury Verado V12s for 52-54 knots, with a 2,250-litre fuel capacity. The inboard option features two 480hp Volvo Penta D6 inboard diesel engines for a top speed of 32-34 knots, a 1,500-litre fuel capacity and the option of a hydraulic swim platform.

The C48 Open is a departure for Princess, offering open-air boating that fits with the new market for luxury dayboats. Furniture starts aft with an island sunpad, while a moveable backrest can create a sofa facing forward to a table and an aft-facing sofa.

Princess C48 Open

A roomy two-part outdoor galley features an electric grill, drawer fridge, sink and storage, while a triple-seat helm station has the driver in the middle. The foredeck has forward and aft-facing sofas.

The lower deck includes an aft double cabin, a bathroom to starboard and, in the standard version, a lobby with storage and optional fridge-freezer, plus a convertible V-shaped dinette. Instead of the dinette, forward options include an enclosed owner’s suite or a lower galley.

Princess C48 Deck Saloon

The enclosed Deck Saloon variant has an outdoor cockpit with a table and facing sofas. Sliding doors lead to an interior with an L-shaped dinette to port and a galley to starboard, aft of a triple-seat helm station with steering to starboard and doors on both sides. A sliding sunroof is among options. The lower deck includes forward and aft cabins, and a bathroom, equivalent to the owner’s suite option on the Open.

“By uniting the extraordinary talent of Michael Peters, our long-standing partners at Olesinski, and our own design team led by Andy Lawrence, we have created a yacht that combines the very best of hydrodynamic engineering, exterior beauty and interior elegance,” Green said. “The C48 is not only a new direction for Princess – it also represents a new standard for the centre-console market.”

Monaco hosts superyacht central

September 18, 2025
1:28 pm

The world’s leading annual superyacht spectacle, the Monaco Yacht Show returns to Port Hercule with a rich and varied line-up of new builds and brokerage yachts from a wide range of shipyards from across the world.

Port Hercule hosts the Monaco Yacht Show each September

Of the roughly 120 yachts predicted for this year’s Monaco Yacht Show from September 24-27, organisers predicted that “nearly half” – described as a show record – would be unveiled as world premieres.

Feadship’s new 119m Breakthrough, the largest motoryacht launched in the Netherlands, was widely announced over the summer as appearing at this year’s edition, but its appearance has been ruled out following its recent sale by Edmiston.

However, Feadship is exhibiting the new 79.5m Valor, while The Italian Sea Group’s recent deliveries across Port Hercule could include three Admiral superyachts: the 78m aqua-blue Amalya, the Armani-designed GA 72M and the 55m all-aluminium Raja².

The Italian Sea Group’s display includes the world premiere of Admiral’s GA 72M, designed by the late Giorgio Armani

The Italian Sea Group’s provisional fleet also included Picchiotti’s new 24m Gentleman’s Yacht and a Tecnomar for Lamborghini 63 (20m), the 63-knot speedster popularised by owners including Conor McGregor and which has become a recent staple of the four-day show.

Benetti is hosting the world premiere of the B.Now 67M with Oasis Deck and showing a new B.Now 50M, both models featuring exterior styling by RWD. The B.Now 67M on display is hull two, which features interiors by Sinot Yacht Architecture & Design and was launched in the spring, soon after hull one’s delivery. New builds also include the 60m O’Madeleine by Greece’s Golden Yachts.

Large brokerage yachts could include the 90m Oceanco Luna (2018), Feadship’s 76.5m Boardwalk (2021) and two Amels builds – the 89m Here Comes The Sun (2017) exhibited by Burgess and Y.Co, and the 77.8m Energy (2022) shown by Burgess and Fraser. Burgess could also be showing the 60m Amels 200 Stella Mi (2021) and 60m Scott Free (2009) built by Abeking & Rasmussen.

Camper & Nicholsons shared an impressive Monaco line-up in late August, topped in size by the 65m Feadship Wedge Too (2002) and the 60m Benetti Vision (2011), which recently completed a refit. The brokerage house’s display also includes the 55m Feadship Somnium (2021), 52m Benetti Solafide (1993), the 40m Sunseeker 131 Berco Voyager (2018), and the 49.9m Mangusta Black Legend (2017) exhibited with Northrop & Johnson.

Outside Port Hercule, Camper & Nicholsons yachts at anchor comprise the 63.5m Benetti Moca (2015), 49.9m All About U (2018) by Ada Yacht Works, 49.9m Mangusta Moka (2011) and 40.6 Baglietto Attitude (2022).

DAMEN DELIVERIES

Damen Yachting was set to co-exhibit three new superyachts with their respective brokerage houses. The Dutch-owned shipyard is displaying Memories, a new Amels 60, with Moran Yacht & Ship, which represents an owner who purchased the 60m, 853GT in-build project just six months ahead of delivery.

The new Amels 60 Memories is presented by Damen Yachting and Moran Yacht & Ship

The brokerage house is also managing the charter programme for Memories, the first Amels new build to feature interiors by London-based studio Harrison Eidsgaard.

Damen Yachting and TWW Yachts are co-displaying the Xplorer 60 After You and the YS53 Emotional, which were delivered simultaneously to the same owner over the summer. Sold and managed by TWW Yachts, both yachts were built and launched at Damen Yachting’s shipyard in Antalya, Turkey.

Damen Yachting handled the naval architecture of the Xplorer 60, Dutch studio Azure designed the exterior, while the interior is by H2 Yacht Design, which has offices in the UK and France. Boasting an overall length of 197ft, After You has a volume of 1,160GT and accommodation for 12 guests along with 16 crew plus captain.

Emotional is the latest YS53, a 175ft, 499GT support vessel featuring Damen Yachting’s naval architecture, exterior design and interior design. Including accommodation for eight guests and 10 crew plus captain, the 175-footer provides support for the owner through additional crew, toys, helicopter facilities and logistical capacity.

MORE IN MONACO

In the 20th year of Massimo Perotti’s leadership, Sanlorenzo is showing the 57Steel Virtuosity and the new SD132 (40.7m), the Italian shipyard’s flagship composite model, following its global debut at the Cannes Yachting Festival earlier in the month.

Gaëlle Tallarida, Managing Director of the Monaco Yacht Show, said: “Bringing together a fleet of this calibre every year is a challenge that only the Monaco Yacht Show consistently meets. The 2025 edition cements our global benchmark position, where innovation, exclusivity and sophistication converge, with a record number of superyachts revealed in world premieres.

“Nowhere else in the world can visitors discover, in one place, such an exceptional selection, from the latest builds by renowned shipyards to recently refitted yachts, all rigorously selected by brokers for sale or charter.”

Greenline boosts solar power, speed on 42 model

Greenline boosts solar power, speed on 42 model

September 18, 2025
1:20 pm

Set to debut at the 57th edition of Boot Dusseldorf, the Greenline 42 features two-thirds more solar-panel coverage than the Greenline 40.

Greenline Yachts will premiere the Greenline 42 at Boot Dusseldorf 2026 (January 17-25), adding to a range that starts with the 39 and 40 cruisers and extends to Coupe and Fly versions of the 45, 48 and the flagship 58 that debuted in 2023. All Greenline motoryachts feature the option of hybrid or diesel propulsion.

In production in Slovenia, the Greenline 42 features a hardtop covered in 10 solar panels, each rated 430W for a total maximum output of 4,300W, which is enough to run all hotel appliances and recharge the battery bank (up to 6kWh) faster. The yacht’s solar output marks a near 67 per cent increase from the current Greenline 40, which has six equivalent solar panels.

It also shows the advances in technology since Vladimir Zinchenko founded Greenline in 2008, when the yard’s first model, the best-selling Greenline 33, featured six solar panels each rated 125W. The shipyard has since built almost 1,000 Greenline boats.

For the Greenline 42, MICAD handled the naval architecture of a “better optimised” hull, with the yacht expected to have a top speed of 25 knots only using the twin 250p Yanmar engines, making it faster than the Greenline 40 with the same propulsion.

Cockpit options on Greenline 42

The hybrid option, using Greenline’s proprietary H-Drive 6G, includes two 23kW electric motors and optimises battery charging and fuel consumption, allowing silent manoeuvring. In electric mode, the yacht has a 20nm range at five knots.

Marco Casali continues his collaboration with the brand and has designed the exterior and interior of the 42, which Greenline has described as its most customisable to date. Notable developments include the aft cockpit, which is offered in either a ‘clean’ design with fold-out transom or with a longitudinal table, facing sofas and two side gates.

Casali’s interior is offered in multiple styles including Honey Teak and Modern Oak. Notable developments include aft galley windows that can slide open or closed, while layout options include an extra sofa in the saloon and the choice in the owner’s suite of either an en-suite bathroom, walk-in closet or vanity table.

“The Greenline 42 was an exciting challenge for us,” Casali said. “We need to follow the huge success of other models by adding even more comfort onboard and a more modern shape respecting our timeless lines.

“From the interior point of view, the big revolution was the full-glass ending of the saloon that allows big openings of the galley and creates a strong connection with the cockpit, which is now offered in two versions.”

Azimut unveils Magellano 27M

Azimut unveils Magellano 27M

September 18, 2025
1:00 pm

Finnish designer Jarkko Jämsén collaborates with Azimut for the first time, while Milan-based AMDL Circle makes its yachting debut on the interiors.

Azimut has unveiled designs of the Magellano 27M, which ushers in the third generation of the Italian shipyard’s series of long-distance cruising ‘voyagers’ and is scheduled to debut in 2026.

In terms of size, the upcoming model slips in-between the Magellano 25M and 30M, which were released in 2020 and 2022 respectively, both featuring exterior styling by Ken Freivokh and interior design by Vincenzo De Cotiis.

However, the Magellano 27M represents a new direction for Azimut, with Jarkko Jämsén designing the exteriors in his first collaboration with the Italian shipyard and AMDL Circle making its yachting debut on the interiors.

Jämsén, who holds degrees in wooden boat building, naval architecture and industrial design, is the founding partner of the Aivan and Navia Design studios in Finland, and Jamsen SARL in Monaco. As well as designing for the likes of Paragon, XO, Axopar and Brabus Marine, the Monaco-based Finn has designed superyachts for Feadship, motorboats for Nautor Swan and dayboats for new Turkish brand Aiata.

For Azimut’s upcoming Magellano 27M, Jämsén has created a smooth exterior bookended by a vertical bow and transom. Overall, the clean design focuses on “stripping away the unnecessary and revealing the bare shape” and transforming the exterior into “a mirror where sea, sky and light endlessly compose her surfaces”, according to Azimut.

AMDL Circle, founded and led by Michele De Lucchi, embarked on its first yachting project, having worked regularly with Azimut on the shipyard’s boat-show pavilions, pop-up floating installations and new offices.

The Milan studio’s eye-catching interior design for the Magellano 27M is most notable for its “unprecedented architectural loggia overlooking the sea”.

Like a covered outdoor space exposed to the elements on the sides, the loggia is on the main deck, surrounded by lots of glazing, and includes “wooden architectural elements that evoke Mediterranean pergolas and patios”, the shipyard stated. Light wood lines the walls, ceilings and furnishings, offset by metal and wooden details.

Azimut stated: “The result is an environment suspended between inside and out, a place where the landscape becomes part of daily life, and where design does not divide but filters, accompanies and protects in continuity with nature.

“In the seafaring journey of the new Magellano, the beauty of the surrounding nature finds its wholeness as it resonates with architecture in the mirrors of the sea on the full-height windows, or in the light that flows through the loggia. It’s a vessel for true connoisseurs, aesthetes whose core is to explore for more.”

The Fly 82, the series’ flagship, is the third Fly model to feature a Fabio Fantolino interior and the range’s first to include Azimut’s Deck2Deck system, which features the transom door folding upwards to extend the aft cockpit, also included on the Grande 36M and Grande 30M superyachts.

Azimut’s other boats at the Genoa show include the Fly 53, 62 and 68, Seadeck 6 and 7, Magellano 60 and 66, S7 sportbridge, and Atlantis 45 cruiser.

Blue Wake™ Awards kick off MYS 2025

September 18, 2025
11:14 am

Nominees have been announced for the inaugural Blue Wake™ Awards, held on the eve of the 34th Monaco Yacht Show.

The first edition of the Blue Wake™ Awards will be held on Tuesday evening, September 23 at the Grand Opening Night of the Monaco Yacht Show, with the four-day superyacht event following on the Wednesday to Saturday (September 24-27).

Designed to reward the most operational, innovative and effective environmental sustainability solutions in the superyacht industry, the Awards are the highlight of the Blue Wake programme launched earlier this year by the Monaco Yacht Show with the support of the Water Revolution Foundation and sponsored by Siemens Energy.

The five categories (with nominees) include Luxury Products & Services (Foglizzo Leather, Tai Ping, Turnstyle Design), Nautical Supplier (AkzoNobel, Deasyl, Termodinamica), Refit / Builder Shipyard (Amico & Co, Baltic Yachts, Sanlorenzo) and Tenders / Water Toys (Evene, U-Boat Worx, Tykun). There’s also a Special Jury Award, rewarding a yacht exemplary in environmental sustainability.

This year’s jury comprises Gaëlle Tallarida (Managing Director, Monaco Yacht Show), Norberto Barlocco (Project Development, Siemens Energy), Francesca Webster (Editor-in-Chief, SuperYacht Times), Lucy Dunn (Content Director, Boat International), Dr Vienna Eleuteri (Initiator and Vice Chair, Water Revolution Foundation), Philippe Mondielli (Scientific Director, Prince Albert II of Monaco Foundation) and Sara-Jane Skinner (Head of Partnerships, Blue Marine Foundation).

“The Blue Wake Awards embody the Monaco Yacht Show’s vision of making environmental sustainability a driver of excellence and innovation,” Tallarida said. “This year’s nominees are leading the way and inspiring the future of yachting.”

Organisers have been actively promoting the nearly 60 Blue Wake™-certified exhibitors at this year’s show. Italian builders Azimut, Benetti, Sanlorenzo, Rossinavi, Tankoa and Amer, Poland’s Sunreef and Conrad, Baltic Yachts of Finland, and Sirena of Turkey are among shipyards given the Blue Wake stamp.

Shipyards are accredited for focusing on bioclimatic structures, digitalisation of operations, renewable energy use or alternative propulsion. Among reasons given for their Blue Wake certification, organisers stated that Azimut and Benetti used HVO fuel for fleet trials, cutting over 75 per cent of CO2 emissions versus standard diesel (RED II).

Sanlorenzo, in partnership with Siemens Energy, is the first shipyard in the world to deliver a superyacht (50Steel) equipped with Reformer Fuel Cell systems powered by hydrogen obtained from green methanol for the generation of electricity.

Rossinavi’s Seawolf X, the 43m hybrid-electric catamaran that exhibited at last year’s Monaco Yacht Show, merges solar, battery and AI systems for luxury cruising with significantly reduced environmental impact. Tankoa’s Vitruvius models feature parallel hybrid propulsion, offering silent cruising, reduced emissions and impressive fuel savings with advanced battery packs.

Meanwhile, Amer’s new Gene.Sys is a digital passport tracking yacht materials and impact, ensuring transparency, ESG alignment and circular design.

Refit shipyards among Blue Wake exhibitors include Amico & Co, Cantiere Rossini, MB92 Group and Varador 2000 Shipyard & Marina Barcelona, while accredited tender builders include Evene, Frauscher, Nauma-Tec, SEAir and Xtenders.

AkzoNobel, a leader in yacht coatings, is among Blue Wake exhibitors, which represent a wide variety of sectors. These include hybrid, electric or renewable energy propulsion systems, on-board wastewater management, thermal optimisation, shore-power systems, sustainable interior design, handling and lifting equipment, recyclable shrink wraps, biological systems, and marina infrastructures.

Robert van Tol, Water Revolution Foundation’s Executive Director, said: “Blue Wake highlights MYS exhibitors that have been developing concrete, innovative eco-responsible solutions for the yachting sector over the past several years. Our mission is to ensure that only robust and operational initiatives are included in this programme, thereby guaranteeing the true credibility and viability of the solutions presented at the Monaco Yacht Show.

“The show plays a vital role in showcasing these efforts, reinforcing the collective commitment of the entire yachting industry towards a sustainable transition. Yet showcasing innovation is only half of the story. Real change happens when buyers choose to embrace and adopt these solutions in their new build and refit projects. That’s how we collectively move the yachting industry forward.”

Sanlorenzo stages three world premieres

September 12, 2025
12:22 pm

The Italian builder staged the global debuts of the new flagships of the SD and SX lines, plus the second-biggest model in the SL series.

Sanlorenzo SD132

Sanlorenzo unveiled three world premieres at this year’s Cannes Yachting Festival, where the Italian builder showcased 10 yachts in Vieux Port. Sanlorenzo’s largest global debut at Cannes was the SD132 (Review, Issue 85), the brand’s biggest-ever composite model and flagship of its Yacht Business Unit.

Designed inside and out by Zuccon International Project, the 40.7m superyacht has an asymmetric layout on the main and upper decks, while highlights include a 70sqm fold-out beach terrace, an 85sqm flybridge with pool, and a side-launching garage for tenders up to 6.32m. Accommodation includes four guest cabins on the lower deck and a main-deck owner’s suite. Fitted with twin MAN or CAT engines, the 420GT yacht has a 3,200nm cruising range.

Sanlorenzo SX120

The SX120 is the new flagship of Sanlorenzo’s iconic ‘crossover’ series that started with the SX88 and SX76, and includes the SX100. Featuring exterior design by Zuccon and interiors by Lissoni & Partners, the 270GT, 120ft tri-deck is the first superyacht to feature the new Professional Platform for Volvo Penta’s IPS and is fitted with four 1,000hp engines – two for each pod.

The 40sqm beach area can expand to 70sqm once the side decks are opened, while the central pool can be covered by a sliding, adjustable sofa moved by a lift-and-slide mechanism. The beach club leads forward to an enclosed ‘lower lounge’ while forward of the staircase is a hammam. Guest accommodation comprises a main-deck owner’s suite and up to four lower-deck guest cabins.

Sanlorenzo SL110A

Fitting between the SL96A and SL120A, the SL110A flybridge motoryacht is the second-longest model in the SL series of planing yachts. Another design collaboration with Zuccon for the exterior and Lissoni for the interior, the 33.5m, 231GT model features a widebody design to port, with the large saloon and its starboard balcony among signature features.

As well as four lower-deck guest cabins, the SL110A has a main-deck owner’s suite with direct access to the foredeck swimming pool, while integrated sofas lie just a few steps away on the flybridge. Aft, the transom door opens to become a platform and reveal a garage for a tender and jetski. The SL110A reaches 27 knots and has a 1,250nm range at ‘economical speed’.

Also at Cannes, sister brand Bluegame premiered the BGF45, a multihull with a foil-assisted system, bringing to the market technology inspired by BGH-HSV, the hydrogen-powered tender created for the 2024 America’s Cup.

Swan 51

In Port Canto, Nautor Swan – acquired by Sanlorenzo in 2024 – debuted the Swan 51 designed by German Frers, developing upon the legacy of the original Swan 51 from 1981, the first collaboration between the Finnish builder and the Argentine designer.

Alberto Galassi, Ferretti Group’s CEO, said: “In moments that matter, like Cannes, Ferretti Group delivers substance and talent, with wonderful premieres showcasing the people who work with us and the extent of our industrial capacity.

“Numbers, passion and competence are also behind our financial solidity, and with zero debt we’re in the ideal position to continue growing. We design and build boats that are unique in the world, and we have a responsibility to keep creating more beauty and innovation. The market and our owners appreciate this determination and continue to reward us.”

The 60sqm flybridge features a spacious aft area with freestanding furniture, a cocktail bar with stools, and a retractable TV opposite a large central sofa. The saloon is available with sofas at the entrance and a midships dining area, or an aft dining area and midships lounge.

Riva’s 58’ Capri, a new addition to the Open series, evolves from the 56’ Rivale platform and draws design inspiration from the 68’ Diable, featuring a streamline hardtop with a retractable electric bimini.

Below deck are two double cabins for guests and one for crew, while the aft garage can house either a Williams TurboJet 325 tender or a TurboJet 285 alongside a Seabob. The yacht is available with 1,000mhp or 1,200mhp MAN V8 engines, the latter powering the yacht to 37 knots.

The Cento is a limited-edition model produced to celebrate the 100th unit of the Rivamare (39ft) and can reach 40 knots with twin Volvo Penta Aquamatic Duoprop D6-440 DPI engines. Building on the Rivamare design, the Cento features an updated swim platform with an electro-hydraulic hatch that opens to create a beach area with chaise longues, storage for fenders and Seabobs, and a retractable gangway.

The Aquariva Special is the first model given the ‘Special’ designation since the upgrade of the brand’s iconic Aquarama. The spiritual successor of the Aquarama, the Aquariva has been in

production since 2001, with 300 units produced in 24 years. Fitted with a 370hp Yanmar 8LV, the Aquariva Special can top 41 knots.

The Ferretti Yachts 800 completes the brand’s Flybridge range renewal that began in 2018 and has an overall length of 80ft 3in – or under 24m with an optional shorter stern platform. Highlights include the 40sqm flybridge, while options include a sliding door on the saloon’s starboard side. The yacht reaches 27 knots with two 1,550hp MAN V12s or 31 knots with the 1,800hp versions.

Ferretti Yachts 800

The Itama 54, a premiere at Cannes, marks the brand’s return to the 50-59ft open cruiser runabout segment. Tommaso De Luca handled the exterior and interior of the 54-footer, which stays true to the brand’s pared-down style and is available with twin 730hp or 850hp MAN i6 engines.

Innovations include the large forward sunpad and an outward-angled transom covered by an aft facing sunpad. Brand firsts include side glazing along the entire length of the hull and two separate outdoor seating areas, aft and fore, while the lower deck includes two cabins, two bathrooms, a galley and a dinette.

Leopard debuts 52 at Cannes Yachting Festival

September 12, 2025

Leopard Catamarans has unveiled the new flagship of its sailing yacht range with a surprise world premiere of the Leopard 52 model.

Leopard Catamarans has unveiled the new flagship of its sailing yacht range with a surprise world premiere of its 52 model at the 2025 Cannes Yachting Festival.

Franck Bauguil, Leopard’s Senior Vice President of Yacht Ownership & Product Development, has described the new model as “without a doubt the most versatile catamaran in its class.”

Alexander Simonis of Dutch naval architecture firm Simonis Voogd Design added that “the new Leopard 52 belongs to a new generation of catamarans that achieve better stability and comfort while offering a larger rig and more sail power”.

Constructed by South African shipyard Robertson & Caine, the Leopard 52 replaces the Leopard 50, the brand’s previous flagship sailing cat.

According to the yacht’s design team, the new flagship is both larger and faster than its predecessor, offering a 17 per cent increase in up-wind sail area. Combined with a taller mast, overlapping genoa, and optional square-top mainsail, Simonis detailed that “owners can expect less motoring and more pure sailing pleasure” on the Leopard 52.

When not under sail, the Leopard 52 is powered by an environmentally-friendly hybrid electric propulsion package, which is capable of hydro-regeneration when under sail. Other sustainable elements on board include up to 1,600W of solar panels and lithium battery systems, with owners able to opt for fully electrical cooking appliances for increased efficiency.

Interiors have been designed with an emphasis on indoor-outdoor living, featuring a fully opening saloon and aft cockpit as well as a forward door offering direct access. Owners can choose from a variety of layouts, ranging from three to six cabins, with an optional crew cabin and various cockpit dining choices.

“From private owners and long-term liveaboards to charter guests and families, the yacht adapts to every lifestyle with unmatched flexibility,” commented Bauguil. “We are very proud to bring such a forward-looking model to the market.”

The Leopard 52 will make its US debut in October at the Annapolis Sailboat Show in Maryland. The yacht is available for private sale or through a yacht ownership programme through The Moorings.

Azimut debuts Grande 30M, Fly 82 at Cannes

September 12, 2025
10:49 am

The Italian shipyard premiered the all-new Grande 30M at the Cannes Yachting Festival along with the Fly 82, a surprise addition to the six-day show.

Azimut Grande 30M

At this year’s Cannes Yachting Festival, Azimut debuted the Grande 30M, the first all-new model by the shipyard to feature an m2atelier interior. The Milan studio’s work for Azimut’s superyachts, focusing on ‘barefoot luxury’, was also seen in Vieux Port on the 30^th hull of the Grande Trideck and 23^rd unit of the Grande 36M, both part of Azimut’s fleet at the six-day show.

Featuring exterior design by Alberto Mancini, the Grande 30M can accommodate up to 10 guests and five crew. Features include a full-walkaround ‘infinity skydeck’, and a Deck2Deck terrace on the aft main deck, while full-height windows offer panoramic vistas from the main saloon.

The Grande 30M is Azimut’s first to feature Rolls-Royce’s new mtu propulsion system equipped with mtu engines and POD solutions, which combine to deliver a 15 per cent increase in efficiency compared to traditional shaft-line systems, according to the shipyard.

Azimut Grande 36M interior by m2atelier

Completing the lineup of Azimut Grande superyachts with m2atelier interiors were newly redesigned Grande 36M and Trideck (38m) models, which featured upgrades and design changes along with the new interior schemes notable for feature walls at the forward end of the main saloon.

The Fly 82, which was only announced close to the start of the show, also features an Alberto Mancini exterior along with interiors by Fabio Fantolino, in the designer’s third project for the Fly series. The new flagship of Azimut’s flybridge series, the Fly 82 can reach a top speed of 32 knots.

Azimut Fly 82

The Fly 82 is also the first yacht in the Fly range to include the Deck2Deck system, which allows the transom door to fold up to a horizontal position and extend the aft cockpit on the main deck. The Deck2Deck feature was first developed by Azimut for the Grande 26M.

Interiors by Fantolino are finished in a contemporary colour scheme of earthy orange and brown hues. Four cabins provide accommodation for eight guests, with the main entertaining space on board focuses on the large circular dining table in the main saloon. There are also two crew cabins on board.

De Antonio Yachts strengthens commercial team

September 5, 2025

The Spanish motoryacht builder has appointed former Groupe Beneteau stalwart Thibaud Maudet as its new CCO.

Thibaud Maudet, CCO, De Antonio Yachts

De Antonio Yachts – which is debuting its flagship D60 at this year’s Cannes Yachting Festival – has appointed Thibaud Maudet as its Chief Commercial Officer, responsible for leading the Spanish shipyard’s global commercial strategy and managing its international sales team.

Having spent much of his early career in Asia, Maudet spent two years with Dufour and over 11 years in the US with Groupe Beneteau, working in various roles for Prestige, Jeanneau and Four Winns.

“De Antonio Yachts has been growing non-stop since 2012, powered by cutting-edge design and distinctive lines, amazing performance with the hidden outboards, and bold innovations,” stated Maudet, who has relocated to Barcelona. “I’m excited to bring my contribution to the brand’s global growth.”

De Antonio Yachts D60

Constant Colders, who has led the commercial department for five years, is taking on a new challenge as Commercial Director APAC & MEA, leading distributor expansion and sales across Asia-Pacific, the Middle East and Africa.

Marc de Antonio and Stan Chmielewski, the company’s co-founders and CEOs, stated: “We believe these markets hold strong potential and could represent up to 30 per cent of De Antonio Yachts’ total sales in the medium term.”

Yann Salez, who joined as Commercial Director for the US, will continue leading the development of the commercial network in this region from Miami, with the goal of consolidating partnerships with exclusive dealers in the country’s key states.

De Antonio Yachts is renowned for its portfolio of boats with covered outboard engines, with the new D60 powered by four ‘hidden’ Mercury outboard engines under the aft platform.
