The 56-meter flagship of the Hargrave Custom Yachts is called "Baba’s". She was built to a design by Unique Yachts with an interior and Naval Architecture by HSY Yachts. This isn’t necessarily new territory for Hargrave as they have built this large before taking it all the way back to 1991 with the 184-foot "Katamarino" currently known as "Paris" at Amels.

Bugatti has entered this realm and will be offering a 12-meter vessel by Salome Yachts...

The 2019 Monaco Yacht Show (MYS) was used by Baglietto to further detail the 65-meter V-Line superyacht in their offering. While it was not necessarily a first time unveiling of this design, as it was officially unveiled as a concept at the 2018 Monaco Yacht Show (MYS), more information about the project was revealed at this year's show.

Two New Wider Models Announced
Wider Yachts recently announced two new models at the 2019 Monaco Yacht Show (MYS), the Wider 180 and the smaller 41-meter Wider 135. The larger Wider 180 which will become the yard's flagship when completed in 2022 is designed by Andrea Vallicelli and C Yacht Design. Comparing this model to the other two (bigger motoryachts) this yard has in service, there is a slight departure in styling. Wider Yachts pride themselves on having a yacht that could transform itself by extending its deck space outward with fold-out terraces and balconies and expansive beach clubs/tender garages. The larger they build, the less impactful this design philosophy will become and we think this is starting to happen. Wider Yachts expect to start steel cutting for the hull at the start of 2020. True to expectations, there is a large beach club onboard which hosts a tender up to 10-meters...

2019 Monaco Yacht Show
With one day to go until the official start of the 2019 edition of the Monaco Yacht Show (MYS), we take a look at the best of the best that is lined up at the show. One of the largest superyacht's actually attending this year's show is not necessarily a brand new vessel but it is one that came to the market very recently and created alot of stir simply because her interior was a closely guarded secret. We speak none other than the "Amadea". This large Lurssen comes in at 106-meters and was completed in 2007 with an exterior by Espen Oeino and an interior by Franscois Zuretti.
