Technohull's Omega 45 At Miami Yacht Show
The center console market is continually expanding not just in the variations being offered but in size too. Alot of vessels are pushing 50-feet and beyond as the norm now so it is nice that we still can see sub-50-foot CCs that have alot to offer. At the ongoing Miami Yacht Show, Technohull displayed their Omega 45. It is a large luxury performance RIB and while it doesn't have the impressive 6-engine setup of Cigarette Racing's 59' Tirranna bolted to the stern, her performance is eye-watering. The Omega 45 can top out at around 78-knots and carry a maximum of four 400HP outboards. It is also optional for inboard setup. In tri-engine configuration the horse power variations are 300, 350 and 400. Onboard this 13.80-meter craft there is capacity for 1,100 LT of fuel...
Miami Yacht Show Debut For Palm Beach GT50 Open
The new Palm Beach Yachts GT50 Open model has made its debut splash at the ongoing Miami Yacht Show. The GT line's future is secure at this point with this being the latest model but the yard suggests that more models in this series are due to be developed in the future. If you are familiar with the GT50 Salon Express then the GT50 Open will feel a bit similar as it is around the same dimensions as it uses the same hull. The propulsion setup is the same too, that is, a pair of Volvo IPS 800s...
59-foot Tirranna By Cigarette Racing
Cigarette Racing is causing a stir with their newest model, the 59-foot Tirranna.

With the new Tirranna, they are still pushing the performance envelope with six Verado 400R Mercury outboards. That is a whopping 2,400 horse bolted to the transom giving an anticipated top speed of 72 mph according to the builder...
90-meter "DreAMBoat"/Y716 Launches At OceAnco
Dutch custom superyacht builder OceAnco launched their newest superyacht yesterday. The 90-meter vessel was under construction as hull Y716 otherwise known as Project 'Yasmin' but the builder is calling it "DreAMBoat". The design may look familiar because it is the work of Espen Oeino with an interior by Terence Disdale. She was built with a steel hull and aluminium superstructure. The yard gives a slight glimpse as to some of the materials used onboard. Terence Disdale, has created an interior that incorporates bespoke surfaces, natural wood, limestone floors, semi-precious stone vanities, parchment, leather and mother of pearl. The effect is chic without being overdone...
