Project 'ENZO' Launched at Lurssen
German custom superyacht builder Lurssen has announced the launching of their latest superyacht, the 115.1-meter Project 'ENZO'. Not alot is known about this vessel other than what the builder has released to the public. Here is what we know so far about the 380-foot superyacht. Her design inside and out is by Nuvolari and Lenard and the vessel has been built for a repeat client of the Lurssen yard. With many design elements and cues reminiscent of a previous 88-meter Lurssen build, it is not far-fetched to deduce who commissioned this new project...
American Customer Purchases Horizon FD75
An American customer has purchased an FD75 from Horizon Yachts. This yacht made its American debut at the Palm Beach International Boat Show in late March. The yacht features design by Cor d Rover and it sits and the entry-level for Horizon's FD line (Fast Displacement).

First Non-Flybridge N68 Launched By Nordhavn
Nordhavn has announced the launching of another N68 from the Ta Shing yard but this time around, it is actually a first for the company. You may be asking why is it a first when this specimen is #39 in the N68 model. This unit, N6839, is actually the first unit to be built without a flybridge in this model. The yard is confident that this trend may transition into more orders for flybridgeless N68s in the future. There weren't any drastic changes required to make the non-flybridge arrangement...

Nordhavn N41 Popularity Surges
It wasn't that long ago that Nordhavn was feeling good about the first ten hulls of the N41 being sold. Prior to that they were also feeling good about introducing the N41 to the market towards the end of 2020. Last week the yard has engaged in at least commitments for 40 hulls of the new N41 passagemaker. So why is this new model proving to be so popular and hasn't even been in service for a year? One of the main reasons perhaps can be summed up as...'entry level'. This is important because many new owners to yachting either may not be able to afford a large yacht up front or foot the cost of operation and associated maintenance there after. The N41 is the perfect bridge to getting new owners into the realm of yachting without breaking the bank -under reasonable expectations-...

With the first Grand Banks 85 launched, in the water and conducted sea trials, the yard has given some insight into how the interior of this model looks with the release of some renderings.

In fact, Grand Banks suggests that every GB85 is customizable to the owners specification via different layout options and custom alterations...

Just A Glimpse: Interior Of 'Black Shark'
'Black Shark' is the project name of a 77-meter superyacht presently under construction at German yard Nobiskrug. The vessel was supposed to be one of the more transparent projects that the yard has built in terms of provision of information and renderings to the industry. Usually, it is the other way around where information is withheld. True to their word, the yard has provided exterior renderings of what the vessel should look like when completed and we have seen bare-metal photos of the hull being transported. Now we get to glimpse what the interior and deck spaces should look like too...
