FERRETTI YACHTS 670-1159.jpg

Ferretti Yachts 670 is the shipyard’s first gift to itself – and the rest of the nautical world – as the brand celebrates its 50th Anniversary in 2018. Officially presented on June 22nd in Venice, this fabulous flybridge elevates even further the standards of style, comfort and performance that have always defined Ferretti Yachts’ DNA.

Born from the partnership between Ferretti Group’s Engineering Department and its Product Strategy Committee, this is the first Ferretti Yachts creation to boast an exterior designed in collaboration with architect Filippo Salvetti. The interiors, instead, were crafted by the Group’s own architects and designers. As part of an innovative evolution process, Ferretti Yachts 670 combines certain characteristics of the models launched in 2016 and 2017 (Ferretti Yachts 450, 780, 850 and 920) with some significant new features. These include an outstanding optimization of interior and exterior spaces, offering owners and their guests a perfect blend of communality and independence. The Ferretti Yachts 670 measures 67 feet (20.24 metres) but incorporates a number of solutions typically seen on larger vessels. This design approach is plainly evident from the yacht’s layout, available in a standard 3-cabin configuration on the lower deck as well as a version with 4 cabins. The design is essential, rigorous, characterized by clear and stretched lines that provide the yacht with an elegant and sportive look, typical features of all the recent Ferretti Yachts creations.

EXTERIORS

On the stern, there is a large swimming platform with an H+B vertical tender lift capable of accommodating a 3.45 m jet tender. Among the distinctive features in this area are two storage compartments: one in the upper part and one in the lower part of the stern sofa. A Seabob can be kept in the latter.

The outside fore area, instead, presents a fascinating innovation in terms of space optimization, with an ample living area, that can be entirely covered by a bimini top and is formed by three spacious sofas that face one another. On request, along the side sofas it is possible to install two dining tables facing each other, which can in turn be converted into relaxation surfaces so as to transform the whole area into one big sun pad.

The ample flybridge, which at 24 m. is one of the most spacious in its class, can be fitted with free-standing furniture aft, while in the central area, to the left, is a fully equipped bar that faces an entertainment area with a C-shaped sofa and a dining table. Moving forward, you come to a second control station on the left and then a very large sea-facing sun pad. Ferretti Yachts offers 3 different layouts for this flybridge: the standard open version, a version featuring a roll bar for satellite systems with built-in Bimini top, and finally a hard-top version.

INTERIOR SPACES and TECHNOLOGICAL INNOVATION

A glass door in the cockpit opens up onto the main deck lounge, with its two beautiful facing sofas, upholstered in Zimmer + Rohde fabric, and centralized coffee tables. Further along, the dining area features an attractive open-plan kitchen and dining table. Beyond the kitchen is the helm station: a cutting-edge technical space equipped with integrated Naviop-Simrad instrumentation, inspired by the innovative solution already adopted on larger models such as Ferretti Yachts 780, 850 and 920. For the first time in this length-class, in fact, the integration of a single innovative multi-display interface makes it possible to monitor all the main functions, not just from the main helm station but also from the fly bridge.

The state-of-the-art electro-hydraulic steering system, developed in collaboration with XENTA, replicates the one already seen on the Ferretti Yachts 780 model. Among its many benefits is greater steering comfort thanks to the extremely easy handling of the helm and maximum efficiency when turning, in any sea conditions and even at high speeds. The steering system can be integrated with a cutting-edge joystick package, paired with a powerful proportional thruster, which includes the DOCKING and TILLER/CRUISE functions, for an engaging and dynamic sailing experience. An innovative Dynamic Positioning System (DPS) for shaft-line propulsion is also present.

Moving along, to starboard there is a door that provides direct access to the bridge from an outside walkway. Hidden under the steps to the lower deck is a space that can be used as an additional stowage compartment.

Below deck, owners can choose either a 3 or 4-cabin layout, which in itself is a testament to the superior use of space achieved with this model. The former offers 3 cabins with the owner’s suite, located amidships, which even includes a spacious study that can double as a private space for the owner, for a total surface of 18 m.. The bed is in the centre of the room, and behind it, towards the stern, are a walk-in closet on the port side and a large bathroom to starboard. This layout offers better soundproofing against the noise from the engine room, which is another significant benefit of the design.

There is the option of replacing the study next to the owner’s cabin with a fourth cabin or a laundry room. On the starboard side there is a double cabin, while the foredeck is home to the VIP cabin. Both have a bathroom and separate shower. On the lower deck there is also a crew cabin with bathroom. It is at the far end of the stern and has easy access to the cockpit via a built-in ladder.

For the interiors, the shipyard offers a version inspired by lighter tones and colours as well as a darker version. The style of the first unit is characterized by linear modules and wood strips, with contrasting light and dark hues. Precious woods abound, with opaque surfaces for ceilings and floors and glossy ones for the furniture. Below decks you will find walnut essences on the bulkheads, striped wood furnishings both glossy and opaque, lacquered surfaces and nubuck upholsteries. Beds, drawers and bookshelves present a refined leather effect.

A number of metallic elements in the lounge and bronze-glass details in the owner’s suite provide a stunning visual impact. Headrooms stand out for the generous use of Calacatta Gold by Florim. Designer luxury brands featured on board also include Lealpell, Dedon, Disenia, Casamance and Perennials.

Ferretti Yachts 670 will also be available in the exclusive Tai He Ban version, conceived specifically for the Asia Pacific market, which includes a galley below decks and the addition of a rounded table on the main deck.

ENGINES

The Ferretti Yachts 670 is fitted with twin MAN engines rated at 1200 mHP, giving it a top speed of 32 knots and a cruising speed of 28 knots (preliminary data). Alternatively, MAN 1000 mhp engines are also available. Available on request, a stabilization package with two gyroscopic Seakeeper stabilizers guarantees the utmost stability while cruising or when docked.

YN 18350, christened Omaha, has been delivered to her owners following intensive sea trials in the North Sea in favourable weather conditions, with seas ranging from calm to moderate.

Omaha exceeded the contractual speed, reaching 16 knots, and proved to be extremely manoeuvrable in all conditions thanks to her large rudders in combination with the power steering unit. Powered by two MTU 8V4000 M63 engines, she has a range of 3,800 nautical miles at a cruising speed of 12 knots. Her round bilge steel hull with bulbous bow provides great comfort for the guests, exceptional sea keeping and unparalleled performance. Omaha will soon leave The Netherlands for her maiden voyage to the Mediterranean Sea where she will meet her owners.

This 50-metre steel yacht started on speculation under the project name ‘Maia’ and was sold by Chris Collins of Ocean Independence, who represented the commercial interests of the owners during the construction, along with the owners’ representative Wayne Foulis.

YN 18350 is the first in Heesen’s newly designed 50 metre Steel Class, whose exterior lines are by Clifford Denn. With a gross tonnage below the 500GT threshold, this 50m modern displacement yacht is the successor of the 47m Steel Class. Clifford Denn spliced the Heesen DNA with lines inspired by classic car design to create a true blue-water yacht with a bold presence on the water. UK based design studio Reymond Langton created a luxurious but welcoming interior with accommodation for ten guests in five cabins, with the Owner’s stateroom located on the main deck forward and four large guest suites on the lower deck.

Omaha’s sister ship, YN 18850 Project Triton, is currently under construction at the Heesen shipyard in Oss and is available for delivery in February 2020.

The storied Viareggio-based shipyard provided the backdrop on August 9 for the launch of the second Mediterraneo 116’ unit, a 35.5-meter fiberglass and carbon fiber yacht in the Class Displacement series that will be ready for delivery next October 30.

Like the previous model, the exteriors are designed by Giorgio Maria Cassetta, while the interior design has been developed by the shipyard Interior Style Department in collaboration with the owner’s designer of choice. Sleek, streamlined contours on the outside are matched by interiors offering the ultimate in livability and seamless continuity of space, in which light plays a key role, in part through the use of big glazed surfaces and a crystal glass door.

Comfort, luminosity and design were the key concepts when designing the owner and guest spaces. Outside, there are two big dining areas (including one over-6 meters wide in the huge cockpit on the Upper Deck) and various extensive spaces furnished with sunloungers, sofas, deckchairs and armchairs. The sundeck deserves special mention, offering a total area of more than 80 square meters and a continuous walkable surface almost 16 meters long.

Inside, the Main Deck stands out for the roomy lounge area, consisting of dining and relaxation spaces, each with three-meter long windows for a sensation of continuity with the world outside. The full beam Master Suite is situated on this deck in the bow, with a studio and cabin that also feature big glazed surfaces, both 3.4 meters long and free of uprights. The four guest cabins on the Lower Deck consist of two facing Vip cabins aft with double beds and two guest cabins with twin beds and pulman beds that allows to host 2 more guests on board.

The crew accommodation for a total of seven people is provided by three cabins, plus the captain’s cabin on the upper deck next to the helm station.

The two CAT ACER C32 Rating D (1600hp @ 2300 rpm) drive the yacht to a top speed of 15 knots and a cruising speed of about 14 knots. The yacht’s range at 10 knots is 3,000 nautical miles, with stabilization at anchor and underway provided by electric fin stabilizer.

INTRODUCING THE NEW EVO CC

The most innovative brand in the yachting industry makes its debut in the Center Console segment. EVO CC redefines the outboard engines daycruiser category and completes the shipyard’s range of 43-foot open models, without betraying their unmistakable style. Its distinctive features include the outboard engines, the central driving console, and a series of original design solutions to ensure the utmost comfort on board, not least the new convertible sun lounger.

At 13 meters in length (43 feet) and over 4 meters wide, the new Evo Center Console is the latest model from Naples-based shipyard Evo Yachts. It was designed by Valerio Rivellini, who states: “This new center console vessel is without doubt inspired by the previous Evo Yachts models: the real challenge was in fact to be consistent with the brand’s stylistic features and family feeling, while producing a boat that is fast, sporty, functional and targeted specifically at the world of owners attracted by the practicality and performance of outboards”.

The hull’s aggressive, streamlined styling features Rivellini’s signature vertical bow and bold shapes. The bollards, fenders and anchor are all retractable to eliminate any disruption to the muscular sweep of the lines that frame a deck space devoted entirely to comfort. Characterised by smart design solutions that are also aesthetically impeccable and draw on the shipyard’s Form & Function culture, the aft cockpit has a solid teak deck throughout and contains a big new sun lounging pad (2 x 2 m), which can easily accommodate three guests and boasts a 46 cm height above deck level for maximum comfort. The entire structure can be lifted with ease to gain access to the tender compartment. Moving forward, there is a folding table with a maximum width of 140 cm when open, followed by three chairs. All the backrests in this area can be reversed to change the direction in which the seats are facing; the chaise longue backrests can also be reclined, providing three more seats for the table, or can be used as an extra set of cushions. An awning supported by two carbon poles can be used to shade the area.

Even further forward is a central galley work surface made from Corian with induction hobs (or alternatively a grill or a Teppanyaki hot plate), a sink and a fridge. A carbon T-Top offers plenty of shelter from the sun and extends far enough to provide shade for the three central seats facing the helm station, featuring a curved fiberglass panel containing all the onboard instrumentation. In the bow, a second sun lounging pad, which can also be shaded with an awning, extends elegantly towards the anchor compartment, which contains a Bruce type stainless steel anchor and is so easy to access that it is also used as a storage area for the fenders.

Below deck too, where we find a dinette that can be converted into a “cabin”, the leitmotif is functional design. A rising table can be used either as a dining table or a bed (or as a sofa area when lowered) and the bathroom has a full-height shower. The stern area doesn’t feel separate from the rest of the boat and is organised as an open space, from which a bright and comfortable stern cabin can be created (optional). The boat can therefore sleep up to four people.

The outboards are the true novelty of this new model in the Evo Yachts range, which now looks to owners attracted by the practicality and performance of this type of propulsion system. The three options available all feature Mercury Verados outboards: 350 hp (multiplied by three or four engines), or 400 hp with three engines. The speed varies according to the engine arrangement, with a top speed of almost 50 knots possible. Performance is optimized by the hull design, with an 18-degree deadrise that ensures excellent seakeeping and maximum safety even during tight turns or in rough sea.

The owners of Evo Yachts, brothers Alfredo and Rosario Mercuri, describe their many expectations in the presentation of the new design: “Evo CC reflects the evolution of the shipyard and its maturity, offering a motor yacht that has a broad range of possible configurations, but also offers sumptuous comfort right from the basic model. It is a competitive product that reaches out to markets in Europe and America, where we continue to consolidate our presence with the help of our partners in Florida, Mexico, the Caribbean and California. We strongly believe in this new model, which completes the Evo Yachts range and offers even more choice to our demanding Owners”.

Larson Boat Group is excited to reveal several updates to its four boat brands—Larson Escape, Larson, Larson FX and Striper—for the 2019 model year. These updates range from new aesthetics to improved onboard amenities to performance enhancements and more.

“The 2019 model year is going to be a big one for all of our brands,” said Rob Parmentier, president of Larson Boats. “We’re energized by the changes to our boats that will lead to better performance, increased comfort and more eye-catching designs.”

Larson Escape pontoons’ two series—the RT and TTT—feature dozens of interior and exterior aesthetic changes. For 2019, owners have a new color choice of Anthracite in addition to the existing Red, Blue, White or Black options. The exterior graphics have also changed to enhance the profile lines of both series. To amp up the color palette and attract boaters who might be moving from a runabout to a pontoon, the RT-R features vibrant and bright accent color options (Kiwi, Citrus or Impulse Blue). All three Escape series contain flush-mount electronics for a sleeker console, and the RT and TTT benefit from new Mercury FourStroke power. The interior upholstery materials and designs are new for 2019 with enhanced top-stitching, new armrests, buttresses and built-in headrests (TTT only).

Larson Boats have received vast changes to their graphic color options, adding an extra punch to match their sportboat-like performance. The LX Series comes with three new graphics packages for 2019: Standard, Sport and LSR; and the LXH Series has a new Sport graphics package. The LX’s LSR Package and LXH’s Sport Package offer bold colors with an edgy design that will turn heads on the water.

Larson Boat Group’s two fishing boat brands also have fresh looks and onboard amenities. The Larson FX has new graphics that continue to allow owners to place eight different gel colors in five different locations to create boat that is unique to them. All foredeck storage units come with friction hinges to keep lids open until manually shut, adding onboard convenience for busy fishermen. Striper and Larson FX models will benefit from Mercury’s new FourStroke outboard motor line-up, and Striper now offers an optional ski tow pylon for anglers who want to use their boat for more than just fishing.

“Larson Boat Group has always believed in constantly improving our product,” Parmentier said. “The changes for 2019 reflect the excitement we have for the future of our boat brands, as well as the commitment we have to making our boats ever better for owners.”

Celebrating its 145^th anniversary this year, the shipyard chooses to demonstrate Asia’s strategic importance introducing Oasis 135’, a new model in the Class product line, built to respond to the latest design trends.

Oasis 135’ is the evolution of Benetti DNA, a displacement yacht and a new concept of using the spaces and experiencing new lifestyle on board. The project reinterprets the use of internal and external spaces in a more contemporary forward looking way starting from the idea to reconnect the owner with the sea in a very informal use of the boat. Oasis 135’, is the new model in the Class product line designed jointly with RWD, the English superyacht design studio, that will let Benetti to answer to a new trend of the market.

Special features to highlight in the “BNow” models are the wellness areas, which include gyms, spas and beach clubs, as well as modern, informal, indoor and outdoor lounge areas.

Benetti has accelerated its expansion in Asia over the past eight years. APAC region has been critical to Benetti, with its strongly growing customer base, well recognized brand image and wide agent network. Benetti has increased investment and resources to this market and appointed an industry veteran Peter Mahony as General Manager of Benetti Asia. Peter will be directly managing sales throughout the region, responsible for maintaining customer satisfaction levels and heading up after sales and marketing development to reinforce and build the Group’s preeminent presence across APAC. Benetti’s primary focus is to cater customers’ needs by stationing a dedicated 24/7 after sales team, a wide network with leading agents and state-of-the-art refit shipyards across Asia. Benetti currently has a fleet of over 14 yachts based in the Asia Pacific region with 7 in Hong Kong ranging from 93ft to 65m and is building at its two production sites, Livorno and the headquarter in Viareggio over 35 yachts from 95 ft to reach the three Gigayachts of over 100 metres.

The recent prominent sales in the APAC region include BM004, the fourth unit of the Mediterraneo 116’ model from the Class Displacement range, sold by Benetti Asia to an Asian businessman. The 35.5-meter yacht features exteriors lines by Giorgio M. Cassetta Design, while the interior design will be entirely customized according to the owner’s desires.
