Horizon Yachts Reveal Two New 'FD' Models
Taiwan based yacht company Horizon Yachts recently revealed two new models in their 'FD' series. You may remember the FD series coming to the fore last year and if you attended the Taiwanese Boat Show earlier this year you would have seen the FD85 debuting at the show. However, two new variants have been added to the series and they are the FD74 and FD102. The FD74 and FD102 models are currently in their final design and engineering stages...

The Italian Sea Groups’ brand Admiral Yachts built the owner’s latest 55-meter superyacht with distinct flair.

One of Feadship's most anticipated new yachts of 2016 has been launched. The massive 96-meter superyacht "Vertigo" was towed out of her finishing shed earlier today into the daylight where her beautiful and traditional black and white paint-work glistened.

45-meter Motor Yacht "Domani" By Benetti
The owners were certainly looking forward to tomorrow when they christened their latest yacht "Domani". Yep, that’s what the name means – tomorrow-. It isn’t the first Benetti yacht to bear the name and it is fitting that the name continues on a brand new yacht which is part of yard’s custom built line...

The brand new Ferretti 850 model made its debut at the Cannes Yachting Festival in September and then an appearance at the Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show (FLIBS).

Ipanema is an affluent neighbourhood on the south zone of Rio de Janeiro and is one of the areas that you instantly pair with the word Brazil. Besides being located in Brazil, Ipanema exudes wealth, success, flashiness and beauty. Italian yacht builder MondoMarine launched the near 50-meter superyacht "Ipanema" in 2016 and since then has been the word on everyone’s lips...

Dutch sail yacht specialist Vitters has delivered their last project, the 33-meter "Missy" that was launched back in July.

The elegant and modern sailer was built in carbon fiber as is the trend for the Vitters yard these days...

Picchiotti Yachts Unveil New Line By Nauta Yachts
A new line has been developed by Nauta Yachts for Picchiotti Yachts. The first design out of the box is a 50-meter variant and it isn't that different from what we have seen before with previous Picchiotti Yachts. "Exuma" is the perfect relation to the slightly updated styling of the new 50-meter. Nauta Yachts refer to the new line being in the bracket of modern classics...
100+meter Superyacht Project 'Jupiter' Launches At Lurssen
Custom German superyacht builder Lurssen launched their latest superyacht this morning. In their usual modus operandi, there is hardly any information on this build due to confidentiality clauses. We do know that the design appears to be by H2 Yacht Design featuring many design elements found on other H2 designs like Fincantieri's Project Mars. We also believe firmly this is Project 'Jupiter' that was floated out from her build shed in the early part of 2015 and rolled in to the finishing shed subsequently...
Christensen 49.9-meter Superyacht "D'Natalin"
"D’Natalin" is a name that would be familiar to many knowledgeable yacht enthusiasts, as well as industry folks.

Built in 2014, the 49.9-meter superyacht boats living spaces across three internal decks with a spacious sundeck.

Admiral 75-meter Explorer Project 575 Under Construction
A new 75-meter explorer type yacht is presently under construction for Admiral Yachts. Come 2018 we will see the the globe-trotting yacht in person but for now we can view some renderings of the yacht. Immediately various facets about the design are somewhat reminiscent of a 90-meter build from Lurssen. Yes, if the names Air and Ice come to mind, that is exactly what we are hinting at. From the similar grey hull, to the transom and bow design as well as forward superstructure all look very close to the Lurssen "Ice"...
Mengi Yay 45-meter "Aquarius" Yacht
Turkish builder Mengi Yay delivered the 45-meter "Aquarius" earlier in the year and since then she has been cruising around the Mediterranean and Turkey. Aquarius is built with a wooden hull engineered by Ginton Naval Architects and an overall exterior design by Oğuzhan Güler. The wonderful interior is perhaps where this yacht shines most. The spaces are all beautifully done to a design by Autoban & BTA Design. One facet of the interior design is the perforated ceiling finish that pervades most of the spaces...
