The Astonishing 156-meter Superyacht "Dilbar"
At 156-meters LOA the brand new "Dilbar" (formerly Project 'Omar') may not be the longest yacht in the world (that title still goes to another Lurssen, "Azzam" at 180-meters) but she certainly grabs the title for her sheer Gross Tonnage. This superyacht floats in at a staggering near 16,000 tonnes, 15,917 GT to be exact according to Lurssen. With a superyacht having such voluminous interiors, some of the features must be astounding! Some may wonder why there isn’t a large pool seen on the exterior decks...
First Open 92 SportFisher By Viking
The tenth Viking 92 Sportfisher model was launched last month and the series is now solidifying as a major model in the company's portfolio but this is also the first in that line to be launched and completed in 'Open' configuration. Usually these yachts feature an enclosed flybridge but it appears this owner has broken the tradition. The yacht is due to be ready for delivery to her owner on July 22nd...

Dutch superyacht builder OceAnco has taken the veil off their latest concept. The new design comes in the form of a 90-meter superyacht with the concept name Sunny Memories. BMT is present on the Naval Architecture with Dennis Ingemansson Design on the exterior. The interior design has not been mentioned to-date. The general design looks typical of OceAnco but many design elements used are stylish and unique to this project...
New Filippetti Navetta 26 In Build
The Filippetti company with their yard in Italy just announced that they have a new Filippetti Navetta 26 under construction. Italian based design studio Hot Lab is responsible for the exterior and interior design in collaboration with the yard. This hull will represent the second vessel in the new Navetta 26 line. Interior renderings are available for this second hull and it suggests that the interior is a mix of several styles but still keeping a contemporary theme. Beiges and Creams with dark accents dominate most areas of the interior. The leathers, lacquered surfaces, and original fabrics in neutral tones combine with the warm characteristics of American walnut, creating a striking color contrast.In the bathrooms, exquisite marble has been chosen, including Eramosa and Navona travertine...
First Numarine 32XP Hull Sold
Turkish yard Numarine has three models in their XP ('explorer') range, the 24XP, 32XP and 40XP. The latest hull in their range to be sold is the middle model -32XP-. It also represents the first hull in that particular size to be sold and is reportedly going to a European client. This model is barely over 100-feet (overall 106-feet) but is expected to give you range when you demand it! Think 3,000 nautical range at approximately a constant 12-knots. Push those twin 715 horsepower CATs and the 32XP should be able to respond with a 14-knot top speed...
First Azimut Magellano 76 Delivered To United States
Of all the Magellano 76 models by Azimut Yachts delivered since the range inception a couple of years ago, only now has a hull been delivered to a United States customer. The owners are no strangers to Azimut as they have owned a previous Azimut model but this one is a different design and style presenting a more displacement type vibe versus their express sporty model -an Azimut 55S-...
CRN Announce Sale Of 62-meter Custom Build
Italian builder CRN yachts today announced that they have nabbed a contract for a full-custom 62-meter superyacht. Details surrounding this new build are almost non-existent at this stage whether due to confidentiality agreements or just down to lack of released specifications. The project name is said to be NL303 which might hint at the fact that Nuvolari Lenard are the designers both on the exterior and the interior. This would not be the first time Nuvolari Lenard are working with the Italian yard so it should come through as a fruitful collaboration. Once construction starts it will be known as hull 137 at the yard. From the line rendering we see a sporty but mature design that spreads over four decks above the waterline. The tender garage is up front in the bow and will be sealed off by two garage doors. This perhaps suggests that there is a beach club in the aft lower deck...
First M50 Superyacht By MondoMarine Leaves Build Shed

The first hull in the Johnson 93 line has been launched in Taiwan. Look out for this particular hull in the U.S later in the year. That's because it will make its world debut at the 2016 edition of the Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show (FLIBS). There is a unique chance for you to own her because there is no owner in the loop as yet -she was built on spec-...
Feadship Prepares To Launch 70-meter Superyacht "JOY"
Dutch custom superyacht builder Feadship is on the cusp of launching another superyacht. She is a 70-meter four-deck yacht called "JOY". The design offers firsts for Feadship in terms of the partnership. JOY is the first Feadship to feature an exterior design by design house Bannenberg & Rowell and also the first to have an interior penned by the Indigo Studio. One thing that you will immediately notice onboard this yacht is the sculptural value of the design. The superstructure ceilings and overhangs are chamfered to allow more light into the interior rather than the conventional flat edges...

You may remember this yard, responsible for building a yacht called the "H2ome" or "Blade" depending on which name you remember...
38-meter Sloop "Dahlak" Hits The Water At Perini Navi
Italian builder Perini Navi has launched the 38-meter sloop “Dahlak”. Remember the very well-known race yacht "P2"? So you get some perspective, Dahlak is a near sister to her . The latest 38M design flies off the design boards of Philippe Briand Design. The high-efficiency, deep-drafted lifting keel and rudder give the helmsman plenty of control in tight upwind work, as well as in high-speed, broad reaching conditions. Dahlak’s hybrid carbon fiber mast is fitted with full composite standing rigging, which towers 51.5-meters above the water, and offers a sail plan surface area of over 1,870 square meters ...
50-meter Heesen Project 'Akoya' To Be Handed Over In June
Think "Ice Angel", "Septimus" and "Monaco Wolf", they are 50-meter sisterships to Project 'Akoya'. The new 50-meter was launched last month and is presently being prepared to conduct her round of sea trials on the North Sea before hand over to her owner. The design of hull YN17650 is by Omega Architects with an interior by Cristiano Gatto. She should be fairly easily identifiable from outside with her stunning shark grey colour hull...

33.5M Feadship "Kamino" ; "Moon Sand Too" Delivered
Dutch yacht builder Feadship appears to have delivered two of three near-identical 30+ meter yachts recently as they were seen in Norway. The 33.5-meter "Moon Sand Too" and "Kamino" were both in the same port with the third yacht, known as hull 692 reportedly to soon leave the builder's premises. Eventually there are expected to be five yachts in this very limited edition series as Feadship does not build on this small scale any more but owners expressed high interest in having a compact build. Principal dimensions are 33.5-meters LOA, 7.9-meters BOA and a 1.8-meter draft. Kamino is powered by twin MTU 16V2000 M93s and has fuel tanks for approximately 25,000 LT...
