"Moss" Launched; Second Ocean Explorer 85
Steeler yachts has launched their first major yacht of 2026 called "Moss". It is actually the second hull in the Ocean Explorer 85 model which kicked-off with a baby-blue hull variant called "Aviso" in 2025. It is actually more of a range as the model comes in the 67, 72 and 85 variants. However, the new yacht unsurprisingly has a hull finish in a shade of green that is akin to the name affixed to the stern. The black accents on the superstructure, roof and underwater hull complement the overall colour scheme...
Batteries Included; Nordhavn N46MKII
Nordhavn introduced the new N46MKII which is essentially re-imagining of the N46 model for modern times. One of the highlights with this model is that this is the first and only Nordhavn model that will come with Lithium Ion batteries as standard from the factory. Nordhavn suggests though that many of their newer models are now coming with the option to have Lithium Ion batteries added onboard however it is not standard from the yard...

"Exit Plan" Launched; Fifth Nordhavn N71

Towards the end of 2025 in November YF published an article showcasing some of the available N71 units that were in various stages of construction at the time.

Its look is reminiscent of the Azimut Sea Deck series but with sportier rooflines...

Pilothouse 46 By Helmsman Trawlers
It is an interesting story how the first hull of the Helmsman Pilothouse 46 came about. After the yard had seen good success with their smaller models such as the 37, 38 variants (pilothouse and sedan) and 43, customers started to ask for more especially in the realm of space and volume onboard. Literally, it is inquiries from customers along these lines that helped move Helmsman Trawlers in the direction of creating the Pilothouse 46...
The Northman 1300 Trawler
Northman 1300 Trawler from Northman Motor Yachts is an option for buyers looking to remain on the small end of the spectrum, or who prefer slow and easy over fast and inefficient. For the eco-conscious the Northman 1300 Trawler can be built as electric as well. The 1300 Trawler called "Grand Salmon" is electric and generates some of its electric power via photovoltaics on the roof. The vessel can also come diesel run...
The Nordhavn N71 Passagemaker
Nordhavn has a vast number of models in its offering to customers and over time the yard refreshes or adds new models to the fold. In the last few years, Nordhavn has added new models like the entry level N41, the N51 , N71 and N80. The N41 has proven to be extremely popular perhaps because it is among the smaller proper passagemakers that customers can see themselves downsizing to or getting their exploration feet wet with. Much larger in terms of volume and also size is the N71 and the yard has been kept busy with the construction of several hulls from this model...
New Grand Trawler 63 By Beneteau
