She was built as hull FB267 and looks quite interesting with her squared appearance. Alot of Surpina's exterior deck space has been taken up by most of the deck structure suggesting the owner perhaps wants to hide from the sun. Onboard Surpina, she will host as many as fourteen guests in seven cabins. The Classic Italian-styled interior is punctuated by the use of marbles and white plush carpeting juxtaposed with prime wooden veneers and paneling.

OceAnco 110-meter Superyacht Y714 (Jubilee)
Dutch superyacht builder OceAnco smoldered their national competition with the launch of the 110-meter Casco for yard number Y714. Just a few weeks ago Feadship held the title for launching the largest yacht in the Netherlands with hull 808, 101-meter "Symphony". That prestige did not last for long when OceAnco's subcontracting builder Zwijnenberg slid the 110-meter Y714 into the water for the first time. The yacht will now be towed to OceAnco's finishing facilities in Alblasserdam. It is assumed that hull Y714 will become the first superyacht to utilize OceAnco's brand new indoor finishing drydock.

125-meter Project 'Tatiana' Launches at Lurssen
The 125-meter Project 'Tatiana' emerged from the floating dry dock at Lurssen at the end of the week. Anticipation was building that launch was imminent when photos surfaced of the yacht in full view inside the floating dry dock. Even though visible, details surrounding this particular yacht are quite scarce and that isn't surprising since this is confidential project of Lurssen. Although unconfirmed, it is quite possible that Project Tatiana is the successor to the Golden Fleet. A comparison of the badges on both yachts -even though Tatiana's is covered- lends credibility to this notion. As to the design of the new 125-meter superyacht, it is said to be from the boards of Martin Francis. The displacement superyacht weighs in at around 7,600 tonnes and is suggested to be powered by a diesel-electric propulsion package. The yacht conceals a number of interesting features...
