Superyacht International Summer 2020

At the time of this edition going to press and approximately a little less than three months from the opening day of Monaco’s International Yacht Show scheduled for September 23rd next, there is still no information as to whether one of the world’s most renowned Yacht Shows will be held as scheduled. Some doubtful minds seem to think that perhaps it might not be taking place at all due to the considerable number of defections reaching Sybass and Lybra associations which are respectively made up of 20 companies each- Among those defecting there are 5 Italian ones and 8 brokers, handling sales and charter groups. The official justifications from defecting bodies are principally two: the most generic and more diffused one – but also the weakest – claims that it…

The SX112 is Sanlorenzo’s latest crossover and flagship of the fleet currently comprising the SX88 and SX76 which like the new 34 metre were drawn up with Studio Zuccon International Project’s contribution and the shipyard’s design team. The SX112 is a lovely example of today’s trendy crossover models sporting luxury styling with the versatility and ruggedness typical of explorer models. The stern end of this yacht is worthy of note, it features an internal beach club area which links on to the open air thanks to a pair of lateral terraces opening outward along each of the topsides in the stern area thereby, further increasing exploitable and enjoyable surface areas. Just as for the SX88, Piero Lissoni initialled the interiors for the SX112 as well. He developed a layout aimed…

Arcadia Yachts is currently working on the fifth A115. The launch date for this yacht has been scheduled to take place in the course of the first few months of 2021. It will be upgraded with new exterior and interior solutions. This Italian shipyard and Hot Lab with whom it has been working together since the beginning contributed once again in renewing a variety of the aspects on the 115’. Most of them have been requested by the owners wishing for more detailed charter versions while not doing away with any of the initial philosophy which enhances close connections between the exteriors and the interiors thanks to large glazed ample window like panels. The best example of this stands out up on the 140 square metre upper deck finalised with…

Custom Line is currently carrying out significant changes in the fleet. In fact the new models aren’t just a simple upgrading of the preceding ones, they are all new projects which the shipyard is developing with other contributors. Just supposing the recent Custom Line 120’ was drawn up by Francesco Paszkowski whose style is clearly recognizable in Gruppo Ferretti’s planing superyachts, the new Navetta 30 from the displacement line is the result of architect Filippo Salvetti and of the architects’ studio led by Antonio Citterio and Patricia Viel. The first north Italian architect to have collaborated with Officina Italiana design and cofounder of Neo Design before starting up with his own personal studio delivered the exterior design work which looks decidedly more dynamic and racier than previous models while maintaining…

Cantieri Navali Codecasa is currently building the C123 at the Viareggio shipyard. It has been scheduled for completion in the course of summer next. C123 is a 55 metre displacing superyacht with four decks. The project design work is faithful to this yard’s styling. The real innovations are to be seen inside thanks also to the owner’s architect of choice working with the yard’s team dedicated to the interiors. The interior layout foresees an owner suite, a VIP, two doubles and a further two cabins with twin beds, plus a cabin for the captain and another six for the remainder of the crew. The materials for the interiors carried out by the architect of choice are top quality with matching light hues which convey a welcoming and refined atmosphere. Eggshell…

Wally’s first motor yacht since entering the Ferretti Group. The 165 is also the first model drawn up by Luca Bassani with renowned Espen Øino. Designer inspiration came from the iconic Wally 118 some of the ‘stealth’ lines of which stand out in this 50 metre as well. “Ferretti Group managed to set up a meeting with two geniuses from the yachting world: Luca and Espen are exceptionally gifted innovators which have had a unique impact on modern yacht designing. And today we can see them working together for the very first time. They’ll be shaking up the market with this new and unrivalled superyacht”, stated Alberto Galassi, CEO at Ferretti Group. The 165 Wallypower unites Wally’s typical exterior lines with ample interior volumes, exterior modular spaces connected with the…
