Vicem 93 Taking Shape For Australian Owners
Vicem Yachts has a 28-meter Vicem 93 Cruiser currently under construction. It is another model in the yard's Cruiser series. The Cruiser series already has another four models up to approximately 107-feet. The yard already delivered a 80-plus foot boat earlier this year. For the owners the Vicem 107 Cruiser appealed to them but clearly they needed something a bit smaller with their own layout. This created the first hull as the Vicem 93 Cruiser. The yacht's design has been penned inside and out by the yard...
Siman Launches First Yacht; 45.5-meter "Lady Candy"
Siman has now launched its first yacht. This yard has been around more than a decade yet has only this year launched this first yacht.

The new landmark yacht in question is called "Miss Candy", a 45.5-meter motor yacht with design work from Optima Design. The yard is actively working on two more yachts under construction at present...
Intermarine 24-meter Yacht
Luiz de Basto is the designer behind the new 24-meter Intermarine yacht. It is a flybridge yacht with exterior by De Basto Designs with an interior that was formulated in-house by the yard. One of the features the vessel has that is immediately recognizable is the fold out balconies/terraces. While this is not a new concept as we have seen it with Wider Yachts and other manufacturers following suit, it does bring something extra on a 24-meter yacht (just over 80-feet as the vessel is 24.8-meters LOA)...
Nordhavn 40 Atlantic Crossing
M/Y Embracing Life
This isn’t a story about a small boat crossing the Atlantic, but is about the owner with the determination to do so. This is about the journey, the destination, and the man standing behind the wheel. Well, to be precise, the man is sitting not standing, and the wheel has been replaced with a joystick. The transoceanic vessel’s name is Embracing Life. Philippe Guglielmetti not only embraces life, but he wrote a book titled Embracing Life After My Stroke. Boating is not new to Philippe, but crossing oceans in his own yacht is...M/Y Embracing Life
