More information has come to light regarding this particular new model. It will be their largest fiber glass-built model for the Italian brand. Like the 121, the 141 is designed by Marco Casali. The design is sleek and her lines give a fast-moving appearance even if she is at anchor...
Monte Carlo Yachts MCY96 Model Added To Lineup
The latest addition to the Nuvolari & Lenard designed MCY branded yachts is the MCY96. This should be a good step-up model for owners who do not want to acquire a 100+ footer. The new model also slots perfectly between the MCY86 and the MCY105. The MCY96 is also off to a good start in terms of sales with the first three units of the new line reported as sold...

47-meter 'Revolution' Globe Trotting Yacht Unveiled By Jongert; Vripack

This 'Revolutionary' design has been ordered by a customer and the Jongert yard is going to tackle the build with Vripack behind the design. In a bit you will see why this globe-trotting yacht is going to be revolutionary.

Bering Yachts Introduce the Bering 40M
Bering Yachts is a yard that specializes in the construction of expedition style yachts below the 100-foot market but recently they have been pushing that threshold, promoting the B115, however the yard recently announced the introduction of a new 40-meter model.

Second Mulder 36-meter Starts Construction
Dutch yacht builder Mulder Yachts started construction on the second Mulder ThirtySix yacht. As far it is known, there is not an owner for this build and so it is being built on speculation. The build will follow a similar trend as the first while the yard tries to secure a buyer. We will imagine that Claydon Reeves is responsible for the exterior design in conjunction with the Mulder Yard based on the first build...
98-meter Superyacht "Aviva" Launches At A&R
The flagship of German superyacht builder Abeking & Rasmussen has been splashed. The 98-meter superyacht is the next superyacht for an experienced owner who spends alot of time onboard. It is a step-up in size for them too as this one is 98-meters LOA. The design of the new "Aviva" is by Reymond Langton in collaboration with Toby Silverton, showcasing a relatively straight and long bow. Certain design attributes are reminiscent of the owner's previous yacht but that is perhaps where the similarities end...
52 Steel "Seven Sins" Ready To Launch At SanLorenzo
The first unit in the 52 Steel series is out of the shed at SanLorenzo being prepared to be splashed in a few weeks. Besides being the first hull in the new series, she is also the new "Seven Sins". This yacht will also be the first yacht to be launched from new SanLorenzo facilities in La Spezia.

The yacht's Officina Italiana Design exterior is finished with a cream coloured hull and accented with black. Three internal decks will be available to the owner and guests along with an expansive sun deck. If she is going to be in the charter business much like the previous yacht of the same name, the decks will be purposefully oriented to facilitate this service...
Horizon FD85 Yacht "Skyline" Under Construction
The story of how "Skyline" is coming together at this point is an interesting one. The yacht is being built for a customer that is stepping up from a 50-foot yacht. Perhaps they did not intend to be building a new boat so soon as they have been enjoying that boat since December 2014. The orientation captain of that craft told the couple -back in December 2014- that in two years they would be needing a larger boat, to which they thought the idea was ludicrous...

It is the natural evolution to the Bertram 31 by providing a longer hull that is also wider giving guests roomier and more luxurious spaces to reside in. The company boasts that the Bertram 35 is 'unmistakably Bertram' and therefore should be a staple for the hardcore and loyal fans and customers of the company...
Most Noted Launches of 2016
It is coming on to the end of the year and it is also the time to take a look back at some of the most memorable superyacht launches of 2016. There were quite a few stand out launches whether in regards to sheer size, styling or just originality. The majority of the large launches came from the usual top European yards in Germany, The Netherlands and Italy. Coming in first is the 123-meter Project 'Jupiter' by Lurssen Yachts. In usual fashion due to confidentiality, not a lot was known about this build. Other than being large, with a length of just over 400-feet, Project Jupiter has a very stylish exterior design by H2 Yacht Design and interior by March & White...
