Benetti unveils new models at Cannes Boat Show


By Shereen Shabnam 

Benetti presented a preview of the shipyard’s new products: Oasis 135’, Diamond 145’ and 4 BNow models,

Oasis 135’: anew lifestyle balanced between sport and relaxation

The Oasis 135’ is a yacht designed by RWD based on a new concept that offers a contemporary take on the use of indoor and outdoor spaces, for an owner in search of a distinctly informal relationship with the sea.

Created to satisfy the needs of an active and sophisticated owner who wants to live his life at sea to the full and across the board, and who has a lifestyle focused on casual elegance, Oasis 135’ features high ceilings, the unusual layout of the onboard spaces, and the extensive use of natural light confirm and underscore the desire to enter into a symbiotic relationship with the outside world.

Cruising speed stands at 14.5 knots, with a top speed of 15 knots, and the yacht has a range of 4,000 nautical miles at 11 knots.

Diamond 145’. Power and balance

The Diamond 145’ is the flagship of the Class product line fleet with a sophisticated design that represents the ultimate expression of displacement models in the Classic category. This 44-meter displacement yacht draws on the core features of the Benetti Displacement Class across its entire history.

The elegant design suggests the proportions and details of a large yacht and conveys a feeling of sturdiness and power. The discreet but tangible sense of refinement will strike a chord with owners who love to combine glamour with credible practicality.

Access to the Main Deck is by two wide stairways in the stern, which are also one of the yacht’s architectural highlights. The main cockpit welcomes guests in a wide and bright setting, and leads seamlessly to the immense, fully glazed main lounge. The full-beam master cabin in the bow has a roomy wardrobe, a full-beam bathroom and a study or office. The Upper Deck features a big outdoor area in the stern with access to the lounge and the bow area is the largeston the market, covering 70 square meters and featuring a remarkable custom spa pool.

The two 1,400 hp Man engines will drive the Diamond 145’ to a top speed of 15 knots and at a speed of 11 knots the yacht will have a range of 3,800 nautical miles.

 BNow: maximum comfort with short delivery times.

The 4 BNow models are Custom yachts, again designed in collaboration with RWD, created to offer a modern onboard lifestyle by connecting indoor and outdoor spaces.

Featuring streamlined exterior lines and a vertical bow, the yachts in this product family offer well-being and comfort accompanied by much shorter delivery times. In response to the original brief “to create an innovative well-being concept for the maximum comfort, light and use of spaces.”

RWD have developed a seamless indoor/outdoor living area with panoramic Pool Lounge as an extension of the aft deck and Beach Club. All the layouts feature a new and revolutionary concept of onboard lifestyle, because they make innovative use of the spaces from day to night.

With these new products, Benetti intends to introduce new elements of style while remaining faithful to the fundamental principles that underpin its long history and tradition.

FERRETTI YACHTS 670: MAKE ROOM FOR BEAUTY

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.

Bahri VLCC.JPG

Maintaining its positive run in 2018, Bahri, a global leader in transportation and logistics, accepted the delivery of ‘Qamran’, a Very Large Crude-oil Carrier (VLCC), to further strengthen its market-leading position in crude oil transportation and enhance its maritime offering.

The 300,000-DWT carrier is the third VLCC to join Bahri’s fleet this year, following the delivery of ‘Kassab’ in January and ‘Lawhah’ in February, bringing the total number of Bahri’s fleet to 91 vessels including 44 VLCCs. The new vessel has reinforced the company’s position as the largest VLCC owner and operator worldwide. Built by Hyundai Samho Heavy Industries (HSHI), the world’s largest shipbuilding company based in South Korea, the new VLCC features a length of 330 meters and a width of 60 meters.

Bahri took the delivery of ‘Qamran’ at a ceremony held at the HSHI’s Mokpo shipyard in South Jeolla Province, South Korea, on February 28, 2018. The carrier is part of the 10 VLCCs Bahri signed with the South Korean company in May 2015 in line with the Saudi conglomerate’s strategic long-term maritime growth and expansion plan.

“The addition of ‘Qamran’ to our already strong fleet is a new milestone in our growth journey and a true testament to the robustness of Bahri’s long-term expansion plans. In addition to providing a significant boost to our efforts to deliver unprecedented growth and productivity in 2018, the new vessel will further enhance our maritime offering and enable us to expand our customer base by catering to the increased demand for crude-oil transportation across local and international markets. Further, ‘Qamran’ has solidified our position as a leader in the global maritime sector,” said Abdullah Aldubaikhi, CEO of Bahri.

 

“Qamran has renewed our resolve to revolutionize the maritime industry through diversified and innovative solutions designed to meet various needs in the market. More importantly, it has further bolstered Bahri’s capability to continue our support to the Kingdom’s ambitious initiatives such as the Saudi Vision 2030, and contribute to the country’s efforts to reinforce its pre-eminent position as a strategic regional hub and logistics gateway across continents,” added Aldubaikhi.

M/Y “CHRISTELLA II” DELIVERED, THE FIRST DELFINO 95’

The Delfino 95’ “Christella II”, the first yacht to be built in the Class displacement product line, has been delivered to its owner. An exterior design featuring flowing lines and extensive glazed surfaces is matched by remarkably spacious and liveable interiors.

At a ceremony held in Viareggio, the owner from the Czech Republic received the Delfino 95’ “Christella II”, a yacht with voluminous interiors and exterior lines designed by Giorgio M. Cassetta.

Benetti General Manager Christos Ramnialis expressed his satisfaction with this new delivery, commenting: “The Delfino 95’ follows on from a series of major successes for Benetti. It is a product that retains the winning features of previous models, adding to them unprecedented innovations and points of view.”

While the defining characteristic of the Delfino 95’ is without doubt its livability, other unusual design features are the transformation of all functional elements into decorative components and an original light design, drawing on the collaboration of UK-based design firm Aqualuce.

The interiors have warm colours and atmospheres: the main variety of wood used is canaletto walnut selected without flaming, interspersed with printed leather panels. The flooring in communal areas is parquet too, while carpet has been chosen for the cabins. The marble used is Eramosa.

The Lower Deck has four double cabins for guests, two with double beds and two with twin beds. Accommodation is provided for five crew members.

The Main Deck features classic shapes and settings. The owner’s cabin, almost 7 meters wide and 3.2 meters long, has a separate wardrobe and a bathroom with a spacious shower cubicle. The main lounge stands out for the two huge glazed surfaces that extend over its entire length, on either side, and the sliding door that connects it with the outdoor space.

The positioning of the entire command station on the top level allows the service area to be concentrated on a single deck, making it more practical for crew members to perform their work and providing more privacy. The Upper Deck contains a rest and relaxation area, a sun lounging area, the helm station and a dining area with opening roof and mood lighting, plus an open air living space in the stern. The Sun Deck, unprecedented on a boat this size, is furnished with two sofas.

The garage can accommodate a tender up to 4.40 meters in length and the yacht is fitted with two 1000hp Man V8 engines, driving it to a top speed of 14.5 knots.

CMC Marine_new tailor made systems (10).jpg

The Eurasia Boat Show is in full swing and CMC Marine is there in Istanbul to illustrate, for the first time in Turkey, the advantages of its product range’s expansion. Turkey has increasingly become a key market for CMC Marine, thanks also to the partnership with local dealer BTS Marin.

CMC Marine reconfirms its presence at Eurasia Boat Show, which is now at its 13th edition and is attracting more visitors every year. More than 600 Companies are exhibiting and at least 200 thousand visitors are expected. Turkey is a very active market for CMC Marine, both for new construction and refit. The Tuscan Company recently increased its investment in the Country, in line with the commercial strategy aimed towards new markets expansion.

The increasing interest and validation from this area are also the result of the valuable collaboration with BTS Marin, the Turkish dealer in charge of the promotion and assistance in the area. The collaboration started in 2014 and has become progressively stronger.

The boat show is the perfect occasion for CMC Marine to illustrate visitors all the advantages of the new electrical stabilizers’ models recently introduced, novelty that was already welcomed with great interest during the international events last fall. In the last few years the Turkish market has very much increased its production and is developing at a fast pace, thanks to the strong entrepreneurial skills of the shipyards partnered with CMC Marine (such as Tunsu, Numarine and Yildiz).

Alessandro Gallifuoco – CMC Marine Sales Manager – stated: “Attending this boat show affirms our intention to strengthen the positioning of CMC Marine in different parts of the world. Turkey represents a key sector for us, other than a fast-developing market, in fact the most positive feedbacks we received for our Stabilis Electra systems came from Turkish owners. We are also very satisfied for our collaboration with BTS Marin, which not only efficiently promotes our products on the Turkish market and Middle East, but also guarantees an excellent technical assistance service”.

Cutting Edge Yachting: Pershing 82 VHP and Pershing 74

14 Wednesday Jun 2017

Pershing 74 & 82 VHP_mid res.jpg

My first brush with a Pershing was over 18 years ago and the excitement I felt then writing about the brand is now ten fold. For over 30 years, Pershing has epitomized the idea of cutting-edge yachting that unfailingly sets new benchmarks in design, luxury and performance.

Recently, the brand reiterated its credentials with the revamped versions of two worldwide best sellers yachts, the new Pershing 74 – an exciting, highly contemporary incarnation of one of the brand’s most emblematic yachts and the Pershing 82 “Very High Performance” (VHP), a “jet fighter” of the seas that has both a new interior design scheme and more powerful engines.

Naturally I love every yacht that leaves the Feretti Group’s shipyard and these two yachts promise to add even more excitement to life on water. Created by the yacht designer Fulvio De Simoni in partnership with the Ferretti Group’s Product Strategy Committee and Engineering Department, they feature completely reworked furnishings that have been enriched with stylish new detailing and refined wood.

The breath-taking Pershing 82 VHP is capable of breaking the 50-knot barrier and it has an astonishing cruising speed of 45 knots. This is all thanks to the new combination of twin MTU 16V 2000 M96L engines that generate 2,638 mhp at 2,450 rpm, together with Top System 95S surface propellers.

In order to accommodate these changes, Pershing’s team of designers and engineers altered the layout of the engine room, the heights of the stern garage and the positions of the air intakes. The interiors of the Pershing 82 VHP meet the same exceptional standards set on the performance front. They are sparklingly luxurious and feature a tasteful array of superlatively sophisticated, quintessentially Italian products and style.

After a fulfilling day on the water, the Pershing 82 VHP is the ideal place to enjoy panoramic views while savouring a relaxing, all-encompassing sense of peace and tranquillity. Dark or pale streaked oak embellished with numerous dark grey lacquered details creates a refined atmosphere in the main lounge: a large, pleasant open space where guests can take it easy, surrounded by enchanting Poltrona Frau furnishings and leather. The items of furniture include a sizeable “Quadra” sofa and a “Laurana” wooden table with a glass top. Poltrona Frau is one of Pershing’s long-standing partners and it has also upholstered the large helm station and the three ergonomic, sporty seats for the captain and the co-pilots.

The interior design scheme reaches its artistic and creative zenith below deck. At the bottom of the steps is an area providing access to the four cabins. The corridor is decorated with alternating mirrored bulkheads and full-length panelling with metallic patterned Èlitis wallpaper.

The same stylistic effect appears in the master suite, on both the forward and stern bulkheads. Taking pride of place in the heads are Bisazza mosaics, Pomd’or accessories and exquisite Antoniolupi basins. The outer doors of the cabins are covered with Poltrona Frau leather.

The Pershing 74 is one of the company’s biggest recent successes and it too has been given a substantial redesign. The new key features are the updated shades of the on-board décor and the new Alpi wood and lacquer details, which provide a common thread running through the different rooms, appearing in everything from the curtain and mirror frames to the bathroom cabinets.

The fondness for sophisticated finishes and fine details is already plain to see in the lounge, furnished with a large, L-shaped corner sofa towards the stern, a central table with a smooth leather top and a structural unit with a retractable 40” flat screen TV. The lower deck magnificently blends natural light with LEDs, creating appealing effects that really bring out the ivory and dark grey hues of the interiors.

Two burnished mirrors make the space feel bigger and there is a king-size bed upholstered with Poltrona Frau leather, as well as two Artemide wall lights. Rounding off the furniture is a chaise longue with textile upholstery by Zimmer + Rohde.

The Pershing 74 is equipped with twin MTU 12V 2000 M96L high performance engines that generate 1,948 mhp. They give a top speed of 44 knots and a cruising speed of 40 knots, while offering maximum comfort with the trim at all times.

With a long history in building luxury yachts, one can always count on a Pershing for timeless elegance and comfort.

CRN fleet.jpg

CRN, the historical ship builder and Italian brand, part of the Ferretti Group, specialising in the construction of fully-custom steel and light aluminium alloy pleasure vessels between 40 and 100 meters in length are showcasing their portfolio at the Dubai International Boat Show.

CRN presence at the Dubai Boat Show, which gathers all the leading superyacht builders in the world reiterates their passion to bring bespoke service to the discerning clients of this region.

The Boat Show, which this year is reaching its 25th edition, is one of the most prestigious showcases of international yachting and will offer the CRN Atelier the opportunity to promote its heritage and personalized approach to shipbuilding, which allows it to design and build truly unique bespoke yachts.

The return of the historical Italian brand to the Dubai International Boat Show confirms the key role the Middle East is currently playing in CRN’s strategy. The shipyard will indeed be presenting its outstanding design and building expertise to a market that is still growing and recognizes the prestige of “Made in Italy.”

“The Middle East, together with Europe, is one of the most important markets for CRN – comments CRN’s Chief Commercial Officer Stefano De Vivo. “The Dubai International Boat Show is an excellent venue and opportunity for us to showcase the excellence of our naval art to passionate customers through our latest creations and new concepts. CRN’s objective is to craft made-to-measure yachts focused on the customers’ needs, without limits, so that our clients can enjoy unmatched comfort at sea just as they do in their homes”.

CRN develops unparalleled projects characterised by state-of-art solutions which are real trend-setters in the yachting world. The company can rely on a team of engineers, architects and technicians that conceive the best-performing bottoms, naval platforms, as well as outstanding architectural and design solutions created by internationally-renowned designers in charge of the yachts’ functional and aesthetic design.

The company was established in 1963 in Ancona (Italy), the seat of CRN’s headquarters, offices, design and construction departments. CRN specialises in the design and construction of fully-custom, steel and aluminium yachts up to 100 metres in length.

I recently visited their impressive shipyard in Ancona which extends over an almost 80,000 m2 area and includes a large, historical private marina. It is here that all megayachts of the CRN fleet, which can currently boast more than 180 vessels in the water – are built, besides aluminium and light alloy models for other Ferretti Group brands
