Monaco Yacht Show 2023 News

Heesen has unveiled a new Project called Grace on Day 1 at the 2023 Monaco Yacht Show (MYS). Naval Architecture by Van Oossanen with exterior and interior by Eidsgaard Design. At 49.9-meters long the yacht is envisioned to cater to 12 guests in 6 cabins along with 9 crew in 5 cabins. There is a projected 3,800 nautical mile range at 12-knots with a top speed in the region of 15.5-knots.

Another concept from the first day comes from Feadship. Feadship normally does a concept to be released at the MYS so this is nothing strange, in this case the concept is called Project Dunes and is an 83-meter proposal. It is a green eco-yacht with design stemming from De Voogt. The design is reminiscent to "undulating waves, not of water, but of sand", said De Voogt. Propulsion will be via a relatively new technology as well. It is coming from ABB called the ABB Dynafin.

Second hull of the Riva 54 Metri has been sold as announced on day 1 of the MYS. That hull will now be delivered to its owner in 2026. The first hull of the new Riva flagship is anticipated for delivery in 2025. The design is by the same team of the Riva 50-meter line. Officina Italiana Design, Piero Ferrari, and the Ferretti Group Engineering Department. The vessel will be in aluminium construction. A third hull in this series should start construction soon.

Icon Yachts also unveiled a new concept on the opening of the Show. This one is called Project Mission and is showcasing design by Bernd Weel Design. The 64-meter long proposal is of the explorer variety and is designed with a helipad and similar to research vessels there will be a few spots on deck available to store containers for storage of mission-specific items. Designed to span between commercial and private utilization there is accommodation for between 12 and 18 guests depending on the mission. Onboard volume is an estimated 1,800 GT. A cruising speed of 12-knots has been calculated with a substantial 6,000 nautical mile range while cruising.

Golden Yachts has revealed its concept at the Monaco Yacht Show, it is a 65-meter superyacht called Project Vesper. It features an 'oasis' deck on the transom which is a feature that Benetti has been making pretty popular in the 35 to 45-meter segment currently. The 1,400 GT interior will sleep 12 guests in 6 cabins including a spacious owner's residence that is two levels.

Tankoa revealed the design for the first T560 model. This vessel is still in the engineering phase but has been purchased by an American client. Developed by designer Alberto Mancini, the new Tankoa T560 Apache draws its inspiration from Mancini’s 76-metre T760 Apache design that was first unveiled at the Monaco Yacht Show in 2021. It’s no small feat to take the features of a large yacht and translate them into a smaller package, but the Tankoa team and the Mancini studio relished the opportunity. Delivery is anticipated for 2026 at the moment. There is a six-cabin layout with the owner suite on the forward upper deck and 5 guest cabins all on the main deck - a feature usually not seen on a 56-meter-. This gives generous crew spaces on the lower deck as well as owner and guest wellness areas towards the midships area.

Ferretti Group has a number of vessels at the show across their brands. Riva 130’ Bellissima, Custom Line Navetta 42 and Custom Line 140’, wallywhy200, wallypower58, Pershing GTX116 and Pershing 140.

The Italian Sea Group ("TISG" or the "Company") announced its new development strategy, unveiling future projects and an extraordinary partnership with Studio Fuksas and Luca Dini for the design and construction of Sea Flower, the new 80m M/Y Admiral. Exclusively for TISG, Studio Fuksas and Luca Dini will jointly design an 80-metre displacement megayacht with a steel hull and aluminium superstructure, interiors that embrace a new concept of experiencing the sea, and a design inspired by nature, particularly the marine ecosystem.

During the press conference, TISG also presented the concepts of three new and futuristic projects developed by its Centro Stile:

• “Project Adventure”, a 50m Explorer Admiral motoryacht;
• “Project Cat 133”, a catamaran in the style of the Tecnomar This Is It;

“Project Evo 155”, a 46m superyacht based on the successful EVO model, featuring sporty and elegant lines typically found in Tecnomar yachts.

Sunseeker also dropped a new model at the show. It is called the Sunseeker 120 and clearly takes many cues from the Sunseeker 100. Accommodation is envisioned for between 10 to 12 persons with a large full-beam master suite being the pick of the staterooms onboard with large floor-to-ceiling side windows. The range is 1,730 nautical miles at continuous 10-knots while the boat can max-out at 20-knots if required.

Ares Shipyard has officially made the announcement at the Monaco Yacht Show and have now set its feet into the water of yachting fully. They already have two vessels under construction at their facilities in Turkey. The 50-meter Spitfire which is a 50-meter design by Bannenberg & Rowell and Lateral Yachts. Additionally there is a 62-meter named Simena in build. The shipyard can build up to 90-meters at present and has its own furniture manufacturing. Below you see an example of the design of Project Spitfire.

The Italian Sea Group (TISG) Tecnomar brand has the very unique-looking power catamaran "This is It" at the 2023 Monaco Yacht Show (MYS), this vessel has not be widely videoed or photograph as yet but there are a few renderings around and the yacht is as radical looking in reality as it is in the renders. “The realization of this extraordinary project challenges the “conventional” perceptions, driving us to completely recreate the boundaries of aesthetic parameters,” says Giovanni Costantino, Founder and CEO, TISG. “This Is It is born as the perfect blend between the desires of a forward-thinking owner and a brand like Tecnomar, capable of taking on such an ambitious and demanding challenge.”

The hull lines were penned in an attempt to enhance hydrodynamic efficiency, leading to a reduction in fuel consumption and emissions. In compliance with IMO Tier III requirements, the yacht is equipped with innovative exhaust gas treatment technology (SCR - Selective Catalytic Reduction) to reduce NOx emissions. Its interior will feature 6 cabins, a massage room, and a galley with polarized glass for events and show cooking. The owner's area, in addition to a large skylight, has a special vertical garden spanning two decks.

Meyer Yachts introduced a 125-meter concept at the Monaco Yacht Show (MYS). It is actually part of a du0, yes, to go along with a 180-meter floating villa. Since we are a yacht forum, we shall just focus on the 125-meter design. It is called THREE05 and imagined with a volume of around 7,500 GT permitting it to accommodate up to 30 guests. This yacht design isn't the first Meyer Yachts released in recent time as they already have designs for the ONE50 and TWO10. THREE05 has been envisioned as a concept to be run by an eco-minded hybrid technology that comprise of fuel cells and batteries. In addition, photovoltaic cells and wind turbines are part of the overall design especially in conjunction with the floating villa to generate energy. Meyer Yachts suggest that environmentally-friendly materials will be used for the build.

Here are some additional renderings of the Tankoa 560 Apache unveiled at the show.

At the show from Amels are "PAPA", "VENTUM MARIS", "WERE DREAMS", "ENTOURAGE "and "COME TOGETHER".

"Nero" is at the show too. Seems to be a last minute addition to the MYS line up but no doubt she would be there in relation to charter bookings for the Winter.

Studio KMJ was suppose to unveil this concept, an 85-meter design called Symbiosis. "After a long journey, I am excited to finally unveil a revolution of nature on board," said Kurt Merki Jr., head designer and CEO of Studio KMJ. "SYMBIOSIS showcases nature, by elevating onboard well-being onboard to an entirely new level". The 3,000 GT vessel is proposed to provide guest accommodation for 12 guests and 24 crew but the layout is supposed to be one that is flexible to meet owner requirements. Although the ethos and inspiration is nature-led this vessel will still have the other superyacht type features you would come to expect. From a wellness area, to a helipad and tender garage operations won't be hampered by its greening exterior and interior decks. See them (Studio KMJ) at the Design & Innovation Hub on Quai des Etats-Unis.
