Another yacht from the former ISA brand has been launched. This time it is the largest member of the EXTRA family of yachts, the EXTRA 130.

"Danzante Bay" In Build At Crescent Yachts
Crescent Custom Yachts is currently working on what will become their flagship. This build is interesting because it did not originate from Crescent Custom Yachts. The hull was actually already built by another yard, Christensen and the owner moved the hull to Crescent for completion. This yard is not commenting a whole lot on the new yacht which is to be called "Danzante Bay" when completed...

118-meter Abeking & Rasmussen in Build
No significant information is available regarding this newest yacht from German superyacht builder Abeking & Rasmussen but we do know that Project 6507 has started construction. The yard has only released one photo showcasing a keel section as it was lifted in to place. One thing we know for certain, when Hull 6507 is completed, at 118-meters it will become the flagship of this German yard by a long way. Their largest at present is the 98.4-meter "Aviva" which was competed in 2017. The interior of Hull 6507 is by a French Designer Joseph Dirand in conjunction with A&R themselves. It features stunning facets such as a Nemo Lounge and a large swimming pool. The yacht is said to be welded together using a new process of laser welding by a company called Photon. A personal submarine is expected to be onboard the 118-meter superyacht along with a myriad of other toys, plus tender fleet...
Two Horizon FD87 Skylines At Cannes Yachting Festival
If you are going to be at this year's Cannes Yachting Festival then you can look out for not one, but two FD87 Skylines from Horizon Yachts. Although they are the same model you will get to see contrasting styles on the interior. One FD87 Skyline (Hull 10) is finished more traditionally in all white on the exterior while the other (Hull 7) is finished with a Stone Grey hull with light gold boot striping. It gives an idea how owners can customize their vessels...
New Amasea 84 Catamaran
Who is Amasea Yachts? This is a relatively new company that is looking to break into the market with an 84-foot (25-meter) motor catamaran called the Amasea 84. They are claiming to use new techniques in building a motor catamaran by utilizing metal (instead of fiberglass) and building on a three-deck basis instead of two. "The project is developed for live aboard and long-range ocean cruising," said CEO and Founder Jack Wijnants...
First Hull For Leven Yachts To Soon Launch
Ever heard of Leven Yachts? If you haven't then there is probably a good reason why. Their first yacht is expected to soon launch to be able to attend the 2019 Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show (FLIBS) -October 30 to Nov 3-. This company's first yacht will be a 27-meter specifically designed for cruising the very shallow waters of The Bahamas, especially the Exumas...

39.5-meter "Lanakai"; Luxury Platform For Serious Fishing
To build a sportfish yacht the size of "Lanakai" you have to be seriously into sportfishing, wanting top performance, endurance and business-end features from your offshore platform. Plus, it needs to be your home away from home with all the luxury trappings and accoutrements any well-heeled owner would desire. The owners of Lanakai are not your average day or weekender fisher-persons but are serious adventure enthusiasts and anglers. They also are not new to the sportfishing game in terms of ownership of one of these vessels...

More Information On 84R From Ocean Alexander
The spotlight has been on the 90R from builder Ocean Alexander since the industry got wind of it a few years ago and through its build and premiere last year in Fort Lauderdale. The 84R as you would expect will follow similar attention when she debuts at the 2019 edition of the Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show (FLIBS). The 84R though will offer a different experience to the client and guests. The interior alone is quite different from the 90R and it needed to be to differentiate itself from her larger sibling...
Check Out The Westport 52-meter Flagship!
Westport Yachts has been relatively quiet but they recently took the veil off their new 52-meter flagship which in essence is a 2-meter stretch on their previous 50-meter platform. Of course the new yacht has been restyled so it doesn't exactly look like the Westport 164s that we are accustomed to from this yard but still pays homage to that model. The extra 2-meters in length allows them to incorporate a proper beach club which definitely will be a stellar feature on this new yacht...
