47-meter Project 'Ruya' At Heesen Starts Fitout
47-meter Project 'Ruya' is under construction at Dutch builder Heesen Yachts. This yacht as far as we know does not have an owner at present and is for sale with delivery slated for 2017. She is in build as YN17947 at Heesen and features a full-displacement hull. The design is by Omega Naval Architects and will be having a sophisticated interior by Bannenberg & Rowell. Guests will be hosted onboard in four cabins on the lower deck while the prospective owner will have a spacious master suite located on the forward main deck taking advantage of the long side glazing...
Nordhavn N6830 "Vesper" Commissioned
This single-engine aft pilothouse N68 is the 30th hull number to be completed by ocean-going trawler/expedition yacht specialist Nordhavn. She is reportedly called "Vesper" and was commissioned in Dana Point, California. The owners took delivery of the boat and had a christening party last week in Dana Point hosting PAE staff and various vendors aboard the stunning Vesper. Now that commissioning is complete they will get their feet wet with little trips around the area. In November they will head down the coast with their salesman, cruise Mexico, with the goal of bringing the boat through the Panama Canal and cruising the Bahamas and up the Eastern Seaboard, eventually making it to their home in Cape Cod by Summer 2016...
34-meter Motoryacht "REM" Launches At Mengi Yay
Turkish builder Mengi Yay has launched their latest luxury yacht. She is a 34-meter motoryacht going by the name of REM. It's unclear if the name is a substitute of a name or referring to the sleep term Rapid Eye Movement. Either way, the semi-displacement REM stretches a 34-meter overall length with a 7.8-meter beam and draft at 2.3-meters. The design is by a Turkish designer Ibrahim Karatas who worked very closely with the owner to create a yacht that is fitting with personal taste...
Technical Launch For 48-meter Bilgin Yacht
Turkish builder Bilgin Yachts has a number of projects working on at the moment and one of them is a 48-meter luxury yacht. As far as we know this yacht is being built on spec with no owner as yet. The hull and superstructure have been completed and are together allowing them to technically launch the yacht in preparation for further construction and start the fit-out process. The next time we hear about this particular yacht is late 2016 when she is anticipated to launch (for real). Delivery is expected for 2017, perhaps in the first half of that year...
Moonen Matica Build Continues As Moonen Yard Resumes Work
It is well known that financial problems struck the Dutch pocket-yacht builder Moonen causing them to shut-down operations. Great news now fills the air with the formal announcement on November 20th that the yard has resumed work. The Moonen 'Matica' is part of the Moonen Caribbean range of yachts the yard announced nearly 2 years ago. The 'Martinique' hull is also well advanced and is reportedly 90-percent completed and is presently up for sale. Any one can have her and still make interior alterations and have her delivered by the Spring of 2017...
Heesen Launches 45-meter “Amore Mio”
The latest all-aluminium yacht from Dutch Yacht manufacturer Heesen has been launched and she is called "Amore Mio". The 45-meter speedster is designed by Omega Architects with a stunning interior by Christiano Gatto. We say speedster because her top-end performance is slated at 30-knots. Of course this will be confirmed at sea trials prior to her delivery; which is anticipated for the first month of 2016...
170-foot 'Merideon' Design Unveiled By Sunrise Yachts

91-meter Lurssen Superyacht "Lady Lara" Delivered
The announcement of the delivery of another Lurssen superyacht rings music to the ears. She is the 91-meter superyacht built under the project name ‘Orchid’ and christened as “Lady Lara”.

Four of them are on the lower deck while the full-beam master suite is forward on the main deck. There is an area that can be transformed into another cabin if expressly needed, that can be found just aft of the bridge...
150-foot Open Yacht From Sunrise Yachts
Say it... 'Sunrise Yachts and Open Yacht in the same sentence'. Oh, so it wasn't just us that stuttered in reading it. Regardless, Turkey-based builder Sunrise Yachts unleashed a 150-foot Open Yacht design to blister the waves at a hot 28-knots. The Sunrise 150 as it is being called is their first step towards this style of yacht, express yachts. She will be built in all aluminium to a design by Focus Yacht Design and in fact, the interior is also by them...
85-meter 'Silver LOFT' In Build At Silver Yachts
Australian based yacht manufacturer Silver Yachts (formerly Hanseatic Marine) has their largest build to-date under construction at the moment. She is presently termed 'Silver LOFT' although it is unclear whether that will be her finished name at launching. The design as well as utility of this vessel differs vastly from what we are accustomed to seeing from Silver Yachts. They build fast, sleek and stylish superyachts and this lofty offering takes their current build philosophy in the other direction...
Project 'Omar' Prepares For Launch At Lurssen
German full-custom superyacht builder Lurssen is preparing to launch the very large 156-meter project 'Omar'. She was recently seen revealed in the floating dry dock and scaffolding has been disassembled which usually precedes launching. There is still alot of work to be done but Project Omar surely will launch very soon. Part of the main mast can also be seen in the foreground. This yacht caused quite a stir when she was towed to the same floating dry dock earlier in the year -around April-. Her sheer scale is insane and just to give you an idea, she will become the fourth largest superyacht on the planet once delivered to her owners in 2016...
