Jarrett Bay Announces Jarrett Bay 90-foot Sportfish
Earlier this year, U.S. Sportfish specialist Jarret Bay Boatworks announced the construction for an 88-foot sportfish yacht. Now there is another announcement for a slightly larger model, a 90-footer. The 90-footer will naturally become the manufacturer's flagship model. It is going to be built under hull number 62 with an LOA of 90-feet, BOA of 22.6-feet and a maximum draft of 5.8-feet. She is going to be powered by twin MTU engines 16v2000 M94s at 2,600 horse power each. The brief was pretty simple for this build. Working with a customer armed with a knowledge of boats, high tech engineering and a passion to competitively fish anywhere, the brief was to use state of the art materials, design, and electronics to create the ultimate sportfish boat...
Nordhavn launches N60 Trawler Yacht "Julia"
The final steps in Nordhavn 60 #61’s path to delivery were completed recently as she embarked on the first of a battery of seatrials that will deem her completely seaworthy and ready for shipment to her owners. Cameras followed the boat and factory techs, vendor reps, as well as PAE Project Manager Dave Harlow, who oversaw a full day of testing that required every system on the boat to be run at its full potential. The day’s assessments, which included steering, emergency stopping and back-up tests, replicated the same performance evaluations required to achieve CE certification. “She passed with flying colors,” notes Harlow. The engine and equipment sea trial is followed up by further long-term testing at which point the boat gets trimmed up...
Yachtley 87-meter Superyacht by Gresham Yacht Design
A new contract for Yachtley is confirmed and features Naval Architecture by Alpha Marine and is to be constructed by the Yachtley Shipyard in Turkey. The yacht encompasses five decks with a lot of the space being relegated to the interior. Maybe not surprising there is not that much deck space for an 87-meter superyacht. One area that is totally closed in that typically is an open deck space area on most yachts, is the upper aft deck. Fully enclosed with full-height windows all-around and overhang the yacht's beam on both sides, it makes for a perfect observatory-type space. Another interesting feature is that the salon is not on the aft main deck as usual it is perched mid-ships on the upper deck. Basically the salon is full-beam and features sliding glass doors that open up onto balconies on either side...
Ruea Yachts Present 50-meter Superyacht Design 'Du Voyager' at MYS
Ruea Yachts presented two motoryacht designs at the just concluded 2014 edition of the Monaco Yacht Show (MYS). One design is for a 43-meter motoryacht with design by Cor D. Rover and the other is a 50-meter tri-deck superyacht known as 'Du Voyager' with design by Design Unlimited. The latter mentioned design we will focus on. If the so-called Du Voyager 50-meter design looks familiar it is because it looks similar in many aspects to a luxury motoryacht recently delivered by Feadship. The design is by Design Unlimited and although it has similar appeal to a yacht called "Como", there are a lot of features that are different. One thing that they have in common is the extensive use of glass. The Ruea project seems to taking the glazing fetish to another level though. For example, the master suite, located forward on the main deck has a glass ceiling...
Pride Yachts Debuted 109-meter 'Tomorrow' Concept at MYS
Another new concept debuted at the just concluded 2014 Monaco Yacht Show (MYS). This one is from Pride Yachts in China. It's a pretty large concept, nearly 109-meters LOA with a healthy overall beam 16.3-meters, yes that's just about 54-feet. Sinot Yacht Design has collaborated with Pride Yachts on this particular project creating a sumptuous Beach-style interior purely about relaxation. Even though the tones chosen are on the lighter-side of the colour palette, the overall feel is still somewhat warm. However, it is open with numerous spaces that connect directly with the sea. For example, there is a large beach-club on the aft lower deck. This links directly to the aft swim platform. Of course, it has downward-folding shell doors to completely open up the space and provide that in-out feel when at anchor...
Tankoa Yachts Unveil 70-meter Design at Monaco Yacht Show 2014
Italian yard Tankoa Yachts released their one of their newest superyacht designs at the on-going 2014 edition of the Monaco Yacht Show (MYS). Simply going by the yard's build number S701, it suggests that the project is 70-meters LOA with an 11.6-meter beam over all. A maximum draft of 3.38-meters rounds out the principle specs for this 1,400 GRT vessel. Hull S701 is spread across an impressive five decks, four of them being internal above the waterline. The decks feature a number of great areas for guests to call home or entertain themselves, dine and pamper themselves to the highest order. Tankoa Yachts are marketing this particular yacht as 'the dream mansion' based on its palatial-like arrangement...
Feadship 67-meter Superyacht Hull 809
Dutch superyacht manufacturer Feadship has a number of yachts under construction at the moment. Two of them feature a design by Eidsgaard Design -who just released their brand new website-. There is a 57-meter which is Hull 810 and the one we are focusing on today is the 67-meter Hull 809. The new superyacht which has exterior design done by Eidsgaard Design. The design platform is on four decks above the water. You can't help but wonder that the overall concept of the exterior looks quite similar to that of another Feadship, "April Fool". However, the new yacht showcases revived styling with sloping structures aft and continuing winding style elements that complete the mast design. Most areas on the design where the bulwark would normally obstruct partial views outward, Eidsgaard 'notched-out' the structure to improve visibility outwards...
Blohm + Voss reveals 80M Semi-Custom Superyacht Project
German builder Blohm + Voss is usually a fully custom manufacturer but this time they are presenting an 80-meter semi-custom superyacht project simply called 'BV80'. B+V actually stopped building superyachts a couple years ago when its parent company -at the time-, Thyssenkrupp wanted to focus more on commerical projects. With new ownership now B+V has bounced back into the superyacht sector recently with the delivery of the 82-meter superyacht "Graceful". This 80-meter now represents a new era for the German yard stepping foot into the semi-custom arena.‘One of the key things from our research is build time, people want boats fast these days,’ says B+V Sales & Marketing Director Patrick Coote...
Vitters Yachts Building 33-meter Sloop 'MM33'

Columbus Yachts Unveil 70-meter Superyacht With Studio Vafiadis Design
Just ahead of the 2014 Monaco Yacht Show, Columbus Yachts unveils a 70-meter superyacht with design by Studio Vafiadis. At 70-meters, Vafiadis still maintains a rather sleek profile keeping the bulk of the yacht within three interior decks above the waterline. The sweeping long lines coerce the eye smartly around the entirety of the design. An abundance of windows are existent, however, they are sculpted, allowing for the continuity of high-end style while not restricting internal views outward and inward progression of natural light...
