Cheoy Lee Bravo 72 Motoryacht
One of the most respected names in yachting debuted a brand new boat at the 2017 Palm Beach International Boat Show; the Cheoy Lee 72 Bravo motoryacht, a clean sheet design focused on simplicity and ease of operation. The design and function of the next-gen Bravo is reminiscent of certain Apple products, using minimalistic hardware and clever coding to enhance the user experience. In many ways, technology has made our lives better, but it has also made life more complicated. Getting multiple technologies from various sources to seamlessly work together isn't exactly plug & play. Cheoy Lee's goal was to build a boat that put the pleasure back in yachting with a well-conceived layout and integrated systems that relieve operator workload. With feedback from hundreds of customers over their illustrious 147 years of ship building, Cheoy Lee went about building a 72' yacht that could be single handed.....

Bering 92-foot Custom Yacht Ordered
Yesterday Bering Yachts formally announced that they received an order to build a totally custom 92-foot (28-meter) yacht. The yacht is a result of the collaborative efforts between the yard and the owner. The build is set to start construction in August 2017. Once completed the yacht will be able to house eight guests comfortably in four cabins which include a master suite, two other grade cabins and a VIP grade suite.
Being a Bering which focuses on quality construction fit for exploring, the B92 won't be a speedster. She is expected to top-out at around 13-knots when needed but leisurely cruise at 11-knots. It is at around that 10 or 11-knot pace that her range should be decent. Bering suggests 3,500 nautical miles with her pair of Cummins QSL9 410 horsepower diesels. The 275,000 lbs vessel will carry around 15,000 LT of fuel...

OceAnco 110-meter "Jubilee" Departs Holland
The largest superyacht built in the Netherlands has been delivered but whether that means handed over to an owner or just left the shipyard is another story. The 110-meter Igor Labonov-designed superyacht arrived in Gibraltar yesterday after completing her maiden voyage from the Netherlands.
