AB100 Superfast Launched At AB Yachts
You might have heard about the AB100 which has been a model the yard had for a while now but in an effort to keep things fresh the Italian yacht manufacturer has designed a new take on the AB100 model, the AB100 Superfast. Below you can see an image of her at launch over the weekend and below that an image of the previous AB100 model for comparison. If you were wondering about the design of the new yacht, it has all been done in-house by AB Yachts...
"Hyperion" Launched At HSY Yachts
In Turkey another yacht has hit the water. This time it is the 35.5-meter of B116 called "Hyperion" from Turkish builder HSY Yachts. If you are not certain about this yard, this is the same company that built a yacht called "Babas" for Hargrave Yachts known then as the Hargrave 184. Back to Hyperion, she was built from all GRP and has an interior volume of around 325 GT...
58-meter C127 At Codecasa Starts Build
A new design has emerged from Codecasa. It is for a 58-meter superyacht which has started construction on spec. It is under construction as C.127 and is naturally available for sale with a delivery time period in 2023. The design of the steel hull and aluminium superstructure superyacht is done in-house by Codecasa and there is a collaboration with M2 Atelier. The design appears to be slightly moving away from what we normally see from this yard showcasing a plumb bow on a fast displacement hull...
Asian Owner Buys In-Build Monte Carlo Yachts 105 Skylounge
An in-build unit from the 105 Skylounge model by Monte Carlo Yachts has been sold to an Asian owner who plans to take delivery next year.

The design is by Italian duo from Nuvolari and Lenard (Carlo and Dan) and they have sculpted a craft that pins voluminous spaces throughout for the interiors...

The superyacht is actually 65.9-meters and is expected to be delivered to her owner in 2023. As a result of being sold at this stage some design changes may be altered to accommodate the preferences of the owner. However, overall the design should mirror the renderings below.

Turquoise Yachts Launch 73.6-meter Superyacht "Roe"
A near 74-meter superyacht is the latest build to launch at Turkish manufacturer Turquoise Yachts. She is called "Roe" and was built as hull NB66 to a Vallicelli and C Yacht exterior as well as a Ken Freivokh interior. The construction was in steel for the hull and aluminum for the superstructure. Onboard she will likely host twelve (12) guests but she does have accommodation to satisfy up to fourteen (14) guests across seven (7) cabins. Nineteen (19) crew will also be onboard to take care of the guests and carry out the operations of the yacht...
Tankoa Yachts Unveil Sportiva 55
Something new has been unveiled by Tankoa Yachts. In a live zoom event the yard recently unveiled renders for the Sportiva 55 which is a 55-meter superyacht belonging to the new Linea Line of superyachts the yard is offering to customers. The largest of the Linea Line should be around 65-meters while the smallest yacht will be 45-meters. We will be focusing on the 55-meter specimen in this article. Overall the design by Luca Dini appears to fall in line with alot of what this yard has been doing in the last few years but there are some key additions and features that will make this new boat appear different for a vessel in the 50 to 55-meter range...
Lamborghini Yacht Launches At Tecnomar
The Lamborhini Yacht has been launched by Italian builder Tecnomar. Of course it isn't the supercar manufacturer's yacht but it is a collaboration with the yard to bring about the highly sportive design to the market. The Lamborhini 63 as she is known as will be the fast yacht in the Tecnomar fleet expected to reach a 60-knot top speed thanks to a combination of her pair of MAN V12 2000 engines and lightweight carbon-fiber construction...

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...
48-meter "Lion" Launches At Baglietto

'Project 7' Commences Build At Rybovich & Sons Boatworks
Not long ago -a month or two ago- Rybovich & Sons Boatworks launched the 94-foot enclosed bridge called "Three Amigos". Around the same time the yard was in the process of starting construction on another sportfish, this time a slightly smaller project. That project is known as Project 7 or hull 7 and is a 82-foot sportfisher. At the time planking for the hull would have started...
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-...
A Look Inside The Grand Banks 85
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. The following renderings may not reflect that of the first hull but it gives an idea as to how the interior of the GB85 model can be done. In fact, Grand Banks suggests that every GB85 is customizable to the owners specification via different layout options and custom alterations...
New Riviera 78 MY Sold To Thailand
The first hull in the new Riviera 78 Motor Yacht presently under construction in Australia has been sold by a brokerage company in Thailand. At this stage it is unclear which configuration and layout of the 78 MY has been chosen. The model can have an enclosed flybridge or it can be open. The fore deck can be made into a al fresco relaxation area or it can be plain and fitted with a crane to service a small tender or PWC. There are layout configurations internally as well. Below shows the open-flybridge version with the foredeck option...
