Benetti Yachts in Italy launched Hull No 1 of the B.Yond 37M in July. The 121-foot hull is built in steel instead of the more common fiberglass, and it has an. E-Mode Hybrid system by Siemens Energy to reduce emissions. The yacht can switch from mechanical to electric propulsion and back again, iving owners four operating modes. In full electric mode, Benetti says, the yacht has zero emissions; in Eco Transfer mode, range is 8,200 nautical miles at 9 knots For accommodations, owners can choose to locate the master stateroom on the main or bridge deck. Overall, there are options allowing. for as many as seven guest staterooms, depending on whether owners want certain gymnasium or crew spaces on board. 121'1" LENGTH OVERALL 28'3" MAXIMUM BEAM For special occasions, the…

The Ferretti Yachts 860 is a flybridge model with numerous features that the Italian builder says are unusual in this size range. There are sole-to-ceiling windows as well as glass fashion plates in the exterior design. Inside is a helical staircase that leads down below from the main deck, with an rt deco influence in the styling. There are opening windows in both hullsides allowing for fresh air at anchor, and there are four staterooms, including an amidships master. Crew quarters are separate, with en suite double cabins. Base power is twin 2,000 hp MAN V-12s for a reported cruising speed of 27 knots and a top-end of 32 knots A pair of1,800 hp MANs is an option, as is a Seakeeper or Zero Speed system for stabilization.. 88'5" LENGTH…

Christened Resilience, the ISA Classic 65 has a steel hull, an aluminum superstructure and a gross tonnage of more than 1,400. There’s a full-beam master stateroom forward on the main deck, in addition to five more guest staterooms. Space can be converted to create a seventh guest stateroom if it’s needed. Aft, the transom door opens to sit flush with the swim platform, adding to the space from opening side doors to allow for more han 1,900 square feet of beach club. Features here include a gym, sauna, showers and massage room. Guests can access the rest of the yacht from here in three ways, including via a corridor that has an enclosed-glass space with views of the engine room and its MTU 12V powerplants. 212' LENGTH OVERALL 38' MAXIMUM…

Princess Yachts continues to expand its Y Class Motor Yacht range, which includes the Y72 and Y78. The new Y85 is the flagship until later this year, when the Y95 is scheduled to launch. For the Y85, the builder is offering owners various ways to spec out the onboard space. Up on the flybridge, owners can add an optional tender and crane for tender stowage, or replace the sun pad with a hot tub and free-standing furniture. Down in the cockpit, owners can choose a traditional U-shaped dining arrangement, a central table with free-standing furniture or the builder’s “infinity” layout with seating on an electrically sliding mechanism that helps to create more of a beach-club ambience in this part of the yacht. 86' LENGTH OVERALL 20'7" MAXIMUM BEAM Princess says…

SEE IT ALL BINOCULARS BINOCULARS ARE likesunglasses: If you spend a good bit of time on a boat, you eventually realize you need different pairs for different purposes. If you are the skipper at the helm, you might favor binoculars that have image stabilization, a built-in compass and other high-end features. On the other hand, if you are heading out in the tender, your priorities likely will lean toward binoculars that are lightweight and can take a bit of a beating. ¶ The recently updated version of Nikon’s Prostaff P7 binoculars, the top-end model in the company’s Prostaff line, is built for dinghy adventures, watersports like kayaking, and passing around to guests who want a better view of the surroundings. This new iteration of the Prostaff P7 ($199 or less,…

SPACE TO SPARE The Predator 65’s tender garage is supposedly 1.5 times wider than the Predator 74’s. It can house a 12-foot jet tender as well as several smaller toys. Fully decked out, it can help transform the stern into a beach club. THE SUNSEEKER PREDATOR 65 IS A 35-knot bundle of fun. ¶ Based on the same hull as its sistership, the 65 Sport Yacht, the Predator 65 has an even purer profile. It eliminates features such as the 65 Sport Yacht’s upper deck, extra stairs, and sports-fly setup with a low-slung driving position, and instead offers a sliding carbon-fiber-and-glass sunroof—which means a proper open-yacht vibe on the main deck. There’s also a foredeck terrace and various cockpit furniture choices, along with a swim platform that can combine with…

Optonaval’s navigation lightsareahigh-performanceLED modular design with a series of internal health-metric sensors to reduce spare-parts requirements. Optonaval’s lights are made with common parts, which makes them easier to service. Each light has redundant, high-performance LED elements. The lights communicate with a control panel via the company’s proprietary protocol, but they can connect to bridge systems via Modbus or, upon request, NMEA 0183 and 2000. ¶ Optonaval created its nav lights for superyachts and ships, so it had to obtain offcial Wheelmark certification from the International Maritime Organization. “The main challenge was to design electronics [that] act like an ordinary lamp with an Edison lightbulb and still do what a state-of-the-art light should do,” says Markus Hempel, Optonaval’s managing director. “The modularity isn’t restricted to the housing, acrylic cylinders and O-rings,…

WHAT DO YOU think?” my pal Bill asked. He’d been bugging me for months about my opinion on tasteful topside colors. Before me was an image of his new 60-foot fishboat. “It’s white. White is not a color,” I pointed out. ¶ “Scroll down and be amazed, Coyle,” he insisted. ¶ There was the same image of Bill’s white boat imagineered with a green hull. “White is simply my creative palette,” he explained. ¶ It didn’t add up. While Bill had opened his wallet for a new ride, he’s thrifty. “You’re gonna smother factory-fresh gelcoat with a pricey paint job?” I asked. ¶ “Of course not,” he announced. “I’m gonna wrap her.” ¶ “You mean for shipping?” I asked lamely. ¶ “High-tech vinyl,” he said. “Get with it, Coyle. It’s…

IS THERE ANY MORE RELAXING PLACE thanatanchor in a favorite quiet anchorage, with the engines powered down and the chilled beverages served up? ¶ It can be easy, in those moments of bliss, to forget about all the design, engineering and craftsmanship that go into making every onboard detail perfect. Getting an eye on all of those fineries is, instead, what boat-show season is all about: a chance to poke and prod every nook and cranny on new model after new model until you find just the right one for enjoying your go-to harbor. ¶ In the following pages, we take a look at some of the boats expected to be on the docks at boat shows this autumn. We’re thrilled to report that the designers, engineers and craftsmen have…

The Gladiator line from Canados includes seven models from 41 to 96 feet length overall. The Gladiator 571 Blade takes its design cues from the Gladiator 493—one of the builder’s bestselling models—with features such as a central steering position, built-in foredeck lounge pads, and oversize sun pads fore and aft. The design firm Saturia Studio in Rome also added new features, including a reversed sofa at the swim platform for watersports fans, side lockers for fenders in the cockpit, and a larger tender garage. Inboard- and outboard-power versions of the Gladiator 571 Blade are available, with the base-model 725 hp Volvo Penta D11s providing a reported 36-knot top hop Optional powerplants increase that speed well above 50 knots.. 57'4" LENGTH OVERALL 15'9" MAXIMUM BEAM Weight-saving carbon fiber is used to…

There’s good reason for the celebration that accompanied the recent launch of the Custom Line 140: It’s the largest yacht the Ferretti Group brand has ever built, and it now serves as the Custom Line flagship. According to the builder, the high-speed displacement hull allows for a top hop of 21.5 knots. Spaciousness is the theme inside, with a nearly 325-square-foot wide-body owners’ stateroom on the main deck. Owners can opt for an opening terrace here to add even more connection to the sea. Four additional guest staterooms are belowdecks, and there are separate quarters for seven crew. Custom Line is also touting the yacht’s level of “acoustic comfort,” with silenced engine-exhaust systems and machinery supports to reduce vibration. 139'10" LENGTH OVERALL 28' MAXIMUM BEAM For owners who want to…

The Riva 102' Corsaro Super is a successor to the 100' Corsaro, which the builder says has been among its bestsellers in recent years. The 102' has an updated design in the superstructure and hull, creating what Riva calls a contemporary sport concept. Aerodynamics were improved with the addition of glass fashion plates aft. For guest relaxation, gunwales swing out on each side of the main deck to create terraces with panoramic views. ccommodations are for 10 guests in five staterooms. The main deck’s primary living space can be ordered in one of two ways, depending on what owners want closest to the aft deck: a focus on dining with a table at the stern, or a focus on lounging aft that sees the dining space moved amidships. 99' LENGTH…

52'2" LENGTH OVERALL 15'7" MAXIMUM BEAM AUSTRALIA-BASED RIVIERA adds to its SUV line with a new midsize model: the 465 SUV. It joins six other boats ranging from 43 feet length overall to 69 feet length overall. ¶ The 465 SUV is made for entertaining. The boarding platform can be converted into a water-sports area, and the twin transom doors fold out to connect the platform with the cockpit. The cockpit is equipped with a portside wet bar that includes an electric barbecue, a sink and stowage; to starboard, there’s a top-loading freezer and an ice maker. The portside coaming has joystick control for easier docking. ¶ Two steps up from the cockpit is the 465 SUV’s alfresco deck, which is shaded by the hardtop overhang with a pair of electrically…

THERE WAS A BRIEF WEATHER WINDOW IN BETWEEN windy, lightning-filled, rain-soaked South Florida summer thunderstorms, so our six-person crew jetted out of Fort Lauderdale’s Port Everglades inlet to see what the Galeon 800 Fly flagship could do in the unsettled sea state. ¶ The white-tipped rollers marched at a steady cadence into the inlet. The ocean’s angry infantry did not deter the stout-feeling 800 Fly. Its bow—the tip of the spear to this yacht’s 83-foot-2-inch length overall—squashed the seaway. The LOA means there’s a lot of waterline to work with. That fact, along with the vessel’s broad-shouldered, 19-foot beam and the optional Vector Fin stabilizers and Humphree Interceptors, made the yacht sure-footed, even-keeled and confident throughout the rough-water run. ¶ Adding to the 800 Fly’s sturdy nature, it has a…

If there was any question that the “Tesla moment” has arrived in yachting, the Silent 60 clearly provides a positive response. ¶ Consider, for a moment, crossing oceans in silence at 5 to 6 knots without consuming a drop of fuel and never needing to plan your course between fuel stops. Imagine sitting at anchor and running the air conditioning all night, not to mention all the galley appliances plus the washer-dryer, without the hum or fumes from a genset. ¶ During my time aboard the Silent-Yachts 60, the electric yacht cruised easily at 8 knots. When I whipped out my sound meter, it barely registered 52 decibels, which is about the sound of a dishwasher. The Silent monitors at the helm showed we were charging our 286 kWh lithium…

Whereas most of the yachts in the wallypower line have taken their styling cues from the wallytender, the wallypower58 draws its inspiration from the wallypower118 that launched back in 2003. “At Wally, we often say that our yachts are 20 years ahead of their time, and, in this case, that’s very much the reality,” Stefano de Vivo, Wally’s managing director, said in announcing the new model. Key features include overnight accommodations for ourpeople; folding bulwarks that expand the on board space by about 270 square feet; andtheoptionofaddingacrewberth, say, ifthe wallypower58 is going to be used as a chase boat for a superyacht. A hydraulic swim platform is another option; guests can use it as a submerged teak beach. 57'11" LENGTH OVERALL 19' MAXIMUM BEAM Owners of the wallypower58 can choose…

The latest hull of the Maiora 30 has been christened Eden. It’s a walkaround version of the vessel, with aflybridge that has almost 1,300square feet of space with out any steps or stairs to interrupt the flow of guests. This Maiora 30 is also the first to be fitted with a custom teak-and-glass hot tub that has room for five adults, with infinity-style views all around. Another not able guest space is at the stern, where what the builder callsa terrace connects to the salon forindoor-outdoor entertaining. Tender stowage is forward, with a garage that can hold atender more than19 feet long. Maximum speed, according to the builder, is 23 knots, with stabilizers that operate both underway and at anchor for comfort during long-distance cruising it ineraries. 100'1" LENGTH OVERALL…

The Hinckley Company just introduced SilentJet, a hybrid power update to the Picnic Boat 40S that allows the yacht to operate silently, including without a generator at anchor. The builder has been working on the idea since 2017, when it introduced the electric Dasher model. The Hinckley team worked with Twin Disc to develop the final concept and integrate it with the Hinckley JetStick control system. With the SilentJet system engaged on the Hinckley Picnic Boat 40 S, the company says, the boat can cruise at 7 knots for at least one hour and at 5.5 knots for as long as 90 minutes. iven that this is a hybrid system, there’s also diesel power available. In that mode, the same boat can reportedly achieve a top-end speed of 35 knots.…

The OS 445 is the new flagship of Pursuit’s Offshore series and the largest boat the builder has ever produced. It’s made for fishing and family cruising alike. Anglers get transom and gunwale rod holders, a transom livewell, three fish boxes totaling 239 gallons, and a setup ready to install downriggers. For cruising, there are yacht-style bulwarks for secure passage to the foredeck seating area, as well as a galley-up design on the bridge deck for entertaining. Itineraries can include weekends on the hook, with a master stateroom that has a queen-size island berth, and a second stateroom for kids or guests. According to Pursuit, triple Yamaha F425 outboards produce a top-end speed above 42 knots, with a range of 349 nautical miles at 26 knots. 46'6" LENGTH OVERALL 13'10"…

OYSTERS ARE AS integral as water itself to the history and culture of Chesapeake Bay. Back in the 1600s, early settlers were amazed by their size and quantity; people would collect oysters by raking them or just scooping them up in their hands. Today, oyster aquaculture—planting and cultivating them instead of gathering them in the wild—is a fast-growing bay industry. The Chesapeake Bay Oyster Company alone reportedly grows more than 10 million of the mollusks every year. ¶ Somebody has to eat all those oysters, and attendees at the annual Chesapeake Bay Maritime Museum’s OysterFest sure do their part. The event, held in late October, is a study in oyster overload, celebrating everything from the people and boats that collect them to the culinary artisans who create new ways to…

56'10" LENGTH OVERALL 17'2" MAXIMUM BEAM AS WE DEPARTED THE legendaryHaulover Inlet of Miami—known for confused waters—the seas were, well, turbulent. Not unexpected because the weather report had predicted 4- to 6-footers outside of it. ¶ That report was wrong. ¶ As we turned the bow north, the Maritimo M55 met 6- to 8-footers, with some 10s mixed in. Our captain, Shawn Minihan, didn’t hesitate when he pushed the throttles down. After that point, we regularly went astronaut (you know, totally weightless) on more than a few launchings at 20-plus knots. ¶ The M55 was a rock, cleaving the seas even though we were sluiced with solid water onto the windscreen of the enclosed bridge. There was not a squeak or groan even though we were moving somewhere around 35 tons…

57'10" LENGTH OVERALL 15'10" MAXIMUM BEAM WHEN IT PREMIERED in 2007, the Tiara Yachts 5800 Sovran was the largest yacht the shipyard ever built. The yacht has an aerodynamically raked deckhouse, down-swept aft windows, and triple 435 hp Volvo Penta IPS600 diesels that produce a 30-knot cruising speed. The forepeak VIP stateroom has an en suite head with a separate shower stall; this head also serves as the day head. Amidships is the master, with a queen island berth and a vanity to starboard. At press time, two Tiara 5800 Sovrans were available, ranging from $610,000 to $625,000. FROM THE ARCHIVE “For the next six hours, the Tiara Sovran 5800 was our magic carpet ride, smoothing out the light chop of Lake Erie. Aboard Crown Jewel (Hull No. 1), we…
