For the past 17 years, Feadship has been presenting concept designs capable of construction. The goal is to reveal new possibilities to new customers while simultaneously advancing its own research and development. This year at the Monaco Yacht Show, the Feadship Dunes concept design makes its debut. With styling reminiscent of sand dunes, the project…
Bearing the beam of a much bigger megayacht, the Astondoa Ax8 yacht joins the Spanish shipyard’s line of crossover projects. She blends sporty looks and performance with super-social, multi-level lounging spaces. The project builds on the success of the Astondoa As8, its largest flying-bridge model. She’s nearly the same size, too, at 80 feet (24.46…
In its ongoing re-imagination of its lineup of semi-custom superyachts, Extra Yachts has borrowed some of the best features of its Triplex series. Those features have gone into the new raised-pilothouse series, naturally using the RPH designation. The X98 RPH yacht is the first model, offering the extra space and extra efficiency the brand has…
Presently in build, the newest Fast line megayacht from Extra Yachts remains faithful to the family looks, but takes styling and interior design in new directions. The X90 Fast yacht promises more glass and of course more space with more elegance. The project joins a series that includes models like the Extra X99 Fast, all…
Earlier this week, the still-clandestine Feadship yacht Project 824 caught some people by surprise as she made her way through the canals of The Netherlands. If you look closely at one of the images below, you’ll see her hull was moving stern-first, and therefore backwards. Why would the tugs assisting her do such a thing?…
An interior design inspired by the moon and Mars is unusual. Admittedly, designer Carla Guilhem says she strove for something different for the décor of the yacht Project 111.11 with the owners. But, she emphasizes, despite the futuristic feel, “the interior will be very much grounded in real life” and have a sense of elegance….
“Our clientele consists of experienced yachtsmen with a clear idea of how they envision their new yacht and who have precise navigation plans,” notes Vasco Buonpensiere, the co-founder and CEO of Cantiere delle Marche. An American who plans to take delivery of a Nauta Air 108 yacht fits that description perfectly, he adds. The megayacht is the…
A 122-footer (37-meter) whose gross tonnage rivals that of much larger megayachts is coming from Bering Yachts. The Bering B120 yacht still pledges to take you all over the globe, of course, but with many more creature comforts than others in her category. Focused on steel explorer yachts, like the recently delivered B145 yacht Heeus,…
UPDATE, NOVEMBER 24, 2023: The Court of Appeal has rejected an appeal from Yulia Guryeva-Motlokhov, the Russian citizen who claims she owns Alfa Nero and who was trying to stop the sale of the yacht. Her lawyer, though, believes she still has a case. He tells a local newspaper that they have a pending court…
Most of the discussions about sustainable yachting focus on fuel consumption. However, the materials making up megayachts, including the interior décor, are of importance, too. A family building a Flexplorere 146 yacht at Cantiere delle Marche are especially conscious of this. With Winch Design, they’re ensuring only natural, non-toxic, or environmentally friendly materials and treatments…
