Yachting: what's new

Latest news from the yachting world.

Ferretti Yachts Infynito 90: Superior cruising experience

This new range, which contains the brand’s initials (FY) in its name, introduces a key innovation: a visual continuity between interiors and exteriors, connecting the boat to the horizon as never before. The exterior design and hulls are by Filippo Salvetti, while the interiors are the work of Ideaeitalia. The first model is a 90’, with over 100 square meters of open-air living spaces and over 140 square meters of interiors, including a main deck and a sky lounge featuring particularly impressive volumes. Owners can also choose between different layouts for each deck. The new range features a brand-new generation of ultra-high efficiency hulls, offering a lot of comfort at low speeds and fast displacement performance over 20 knots. InFYnito 90 can be fitted with a pair of MAN V12 engines 1,800 hp driving the yacht to a top speed of 22 knots.

Vitruvius Yachts Alchemy: The quiet strength

Born from a fruitful collaboration between the Italian shipyard Rossinavi and French naval architect Philippe Briand, this superyacht is powered by diesel electric propulsion and propelled by pods to reduce the loss of energy between the engines and navigation speed. Alchemy is an elegant 66m tri-deck motor yacht commissioned by a private client who has very much been involved in every aspect of the design project and has commissioned this with a brief to focus on the design of the outdoor areas and wellness aspects of the yacht. Alchemy’s silhouette is all about proportioned balance and exudes tranquility. The lifestyle nature of Alchemy is immediately visible from the generous outdoor square meterage (over 330 sqm) well distributed across three different decks. The interior design of Alchemy, curated by the Venice-based practice headed up by Enrico Gobbi, is characterized by a calm and elegant atmosphere that influences all decks and areas. The main amenities include a Jacuzzi, numerous sun pads, bar and entertaining areas together with a barbecue positioned near one of the dining spaces. The bridge deck features a salon and another al fresco dining area for more formal occasions while the main deck exposes a large cockpit. Alchemy’s capacity to carry all sorts of equipment and toys on board is remarkable. The garage area has enough space to store a vast array of equipment from paddleboards to windsurfs, water skis, two tenders and mountain bikes for exploration trips on land.

Benetti Oasis 34M: Smooth and sleek

Made of fibreglass, the yacht has three decks plus a generous sundeck. The silhouette features a vertical bow, from which sleek, modern and elegant lines descend in a gentle gradient to water level and form a XL swim platform. Like previous Oasis 40m, exterior styling is by British design studio RWD, a familiar name in international yacht design circles. The interior design is signed by architects Bonetti/Kozerski, the prominent New York-based firm that has introduced influences on board derived from the architecture of residential projects. Bonetti/Kozerski have harmonised the spaces on board Oasis 34M, achieving a balance between interiors and exteriors and bringing the naturalness of outdoor teak indoors to create a relaxing setting dominated by walnut. With excellent hull efficiency, the yacht offers a top speed of 16 knots and a cruising speed of 10 knots.

Riva 82' Diva: A timeless style

The new Riva success is penned by Mauro Micheli and Sergio Beretta, from Officina Italiana Design, working in partnership with the Strategic Product Committee led by Piero Ferrari and the Ferretti Group Engineering Department. With a length overall of 25.29m and a maximum beam of 6.08m, Riva 82’ Diva boasts a sporty silhouette including the distinctive shape of the front windshield and bright stainless-steel details. The 82-foot yacht takes new solutions on board like the higher and safer side gunwales with painted composite profiles instead of traditional steel handrails. But the real stars of Riva 82’ are outdoor areas, designed to put guests in close contact with the sea and offer a yachting experience that takes conviviality and relaxation to the next level. The boat’s main attraction is a spacious beach club featuring two large bulwarks (1.6m) that swing down to create lateral terraces. Interiors are in classic Riva style, featuring highly polished furnishings and contrasting pale and dark colours. Italian walnut or glossy chocolate wenge are the signature wood. There are four cabins on the lower deck, all with en suite private bathrooms featuring Corian or Statuarietto marble tops: the full-beam owner’s cabin astern, the VIP cabin forward, flooded with light through the skylight formed by the glass floor of the walkway to the forward lounge area, and two double cabins, providing accommodation for a total of 8 guests. The crew quarters (2 cabins - 3 beds) are amidships and accessed via a dedicated walkway on the side of the superstructure. Regarding the engines, the owner can decide whether to install a pair of MAN V12 1800 for a top speed of 29 knots or two MAN V12 1900 engines that drive the yacht to a top speed of about 31 knots.

Baglietto Fast 50: Fast and light

This 50m project is the new top of the range among innovative and hi-tech yachts, which have always been the hallmark of the famous Italian brand. Designed by Francesco Paszkowski, the Fast50 is inspired by the shipyard’s historical “trendsetters” like Pachamama, Monokini and Rush models. Design of the stern, in particular, draws on some of the innovative elements introduced in the more traditional line: developing on 2 levels, with the gunwale folding to convert into a swimming platform, the aft area is perfect to enjoy life in close contact with the ocean, also thanks to the sunbeds in the form of “chaise longues” that offer an exclusive, breathtaking view. Four MTU 2000M96L engines give a maximum speed of 30 knots at this light aluminum fast displacement hull. Delivery of the first unit is scheduled for 2026.

Lurssen Yachts Kismet: A luxury transatlantic atmosphere

Delivered in 2014 by Lürssen, the 95.2m custom motor yacht Whisper (ex-Kismet) features an interior designed by Reymond Langton Design and an exterior styled by Espen Oeino. Exceptional features include two helicopter pads, a private observation platform with an outdoor bed created for stargazing. The sun deck offers a swimming pool with integrated Jacuzzi, and the intelligently formed aft end of the pool doubles as the skylight of the lift shaft. For the interiors, the owner’s watchword was to create a “feeling of relaxed opulence”, with “Champagne & Caviar” as the theme. The main salon has an Art Deco atmosphere, with a staircase reminiscent of the great transoceanic liners. Powered by two 2,720 hp Caterpillars, the boat cruises at 14 knots, 17 knots maximum speed, and has a range of 6,000 nautical miles, enough to cross the oceans.

Pershing GTX116: New era of sport-yacht

The first GTX116 was launched in 2023, marking the beginning of a new era for the Italian brand. This is the result of collaboration between Ferretti Group’s Strategic Product Committee led by Piero Ferrari, the design firm headed by Fulvio De Simoni, and the Group’s Engineering Department. This motoryacht confirms its sporty DNA and enhances the concept of comfort by providing plenty of open-air space, areas designed to be in direct contact with the water, and outstanding liveability guaranteed by the five-cabin layout. Pershing GTX116 is painted a new shade of grey, with a special shade of blue for the deckhouse. The first unit was equipped with a triple water jet propulsion system, which can be paired with three MAN V12 2000 engines each rated 2,000 hp for a top speed of 35.5 knots. Standard engines are three MAN V12 1800 units rated 1,800 hp.
