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...

Sunseeker Manhattan 52 To Launch For Summer
Sunseeker is set to unveil their smallest flybridge motoryacht in over ten years coming this Summer. The 2016 Manhattan 52 is the model making a comeback and reaffirms Sunseeker's idea of re-establishing their position in that market segment. The flybridge yacht features two full internal decks (lower and main) and the open-air flybridge. The flybridge will be a hit, being fairly large (for the yacht's size) it features ample seating for the full-guest complement onboard.

With the world-debut of the first Tankoa 70-meter (S701) "Suerte", Italian yard Tankoa Yachts is pressing on with the construction of the sistership to her -the second hull-.

IAG Yachts have launched their first yacht of 2016 and she is a 41-meter luxury vessel named "Serenity".

SWATH (Small Waterplane Area Twin Hull) is a hullform that many yacht builders generally do not build but German company Abeking & Rasmussen recently launched a 25M yacht with this hullform. The petit looking vessel is actually more spacious than you would think because of its wider footprint thanks to the twin hulls. There has been no name released so far for the vessel but it was built as hull 6500...
New AB100 30-meter Yacht Launched

This yacht does not play, there is serious power below-decks to propel the 30-meter vessel to an astounding 52-knots. Of course, in typical AB style, three engines are linked to three waterjets to produce this blistering performance...
