The current version starts with an overview of superyacht updates from around the world, while the listing has a refreshed format compared to previous years, including more sub-50m entries.
Leaders: Jonathan Beckett, Burgess
Among this edition’s superyacht-focused features, Jonathan Beckett of Burgess looks back at both company and personal highlights as the superyacht brokerage concludes its 50th anniversary with special events around the globe.
Leaders: Erwin Bamps, Gulf Craft Group
Erwin Bamps speaks about his return as CEO of Gulf Craft Group, where he’s overseeing not only Majesty Yachts – whose portfolio stretches to the Majesty 175 – but also the Nomad, Oryx and SilverCat brands, as they also seek wider representation in suitable markets around the world.
New Builds with Fraser
In a focus on new builds managed by the world’s leading superyacht brokerage houses, Fraser Asia Manager Laura Verbrugge asks Monaco-based colleagues to explain how the company guides owners through the journey from ‘vision to voyage’, citing the examples of the 47m ArtExplorer sailing catamaran and an 89m China-built motoryacht.
Daniela Duck, Group Head of New Build, Camper & Nicholsons
In Italy, Camper & Nicholsons’ new Viareggio location brings design, technology, project management and sales under one roof. Daniela Duck, Group Head of New Build, explains how the division has evolved into a full-service design-to-delivery platform.
Review: AB 95
This issue’s cover star is AB Yachts’ slender but powerful AB 95, which is among Reviews of yachts that had world premieres at the 2025 Cannes Yachting Festival. The AB 95 is an adrenaline-pumping yet smooth-running 50-knot addition to an AB Yachts portfolio now offering luxury sport yachts from 80-130ft.
Review: Van der Valk 35m Lalabe
Van der Valk debuted the 35m trideck Lalabe at Cannes, with designer Guido de Groot explaining how the yacht evolved from previous builds from the Dutch shipyard to accommodate the needs and demands of four-generation family life.
Review: Azimut Grande 30M
Azimut’s Grande 30M moves into the spotlight ahead of its arrival in Asia, where the Marine Italia Asia dealership sold hull one into Hong Kong. The Grande 30M has a lot of firsts going for it, most notably as the shipyard’s first all-new yacht to feature an interior by m2atelier, the Milan studio that also contributed to other aspects of the design.
Review: Ferretti Yachts 940
The Ferretti Yachts 940, another winning design collaboration between Filippo Salvetti and IdeaeItalia, was among Ferretti Group’s two world premieres at this year’s Venice Boat Show before the brand’s second-biggest Flybridge model was displayed at Cannes.
Review: Absolute Navetta 62
Reviews are rounded out by Absolute’s Navetta 62, which was among the Inland Italian builder’s two world premieres and 11 models at Cannes. The Navetta 62 has the volume-boosting exterior lines that characterise this semi-displacement series, but spices up the equation with an extra shot of interior style.
Shows: 48th Cannes Yachting Festival
In Shows, there are reviews of the 48th Cannes Yachting Festival, 65th Genoa International Boat Show and 34th Monaco Yacht Show, as well as the third edition of the Lantau Yacht Club Boat Show – Festa Nautica.
Racing: Maxi Yacht Rolex Cup
Racing includes reports of Rolex SailGP, Maxi Yacht Rolex Cup and Rolex Middle Sea Race, plus a preview of the Phuket King’s Cup Regatta in Thailand. Also in Thailand, Destination looks at the steadily evolving, family-owned Port Takola Yacht Marina & Boatyard, which offers a relaxing base for exploring “old town Krabi charm” along with nearby islands, Railay peninsula and Ao Nang.
Events: Asia Night, Cannes
Later sections include Events, with parties, shows and other happenings in Cannes, Monaco, Hong Kong, Singapore, Malaysia and Indonesia. Up front are Columns by Yousuf Al Hashimi of Phoenix Yacht Management, Su Lin Cheah of the International Council of Marine Industry Associations (ICOMIA) and Suzy Rayment of the Asia-Pacific Superyacht Association (APSA).
