Azimut Grande 32 Metri

Returning once again to the Cannes Yachting Festival, running from 11 to 16 September, Azimut reveals exclusive models that combine luxury with comfort

With the new boat show season that has just started in Cannes, Azimut Yachts, the world’s leading yachts manufacturer with 7 offices in the Middle East including UAE, achieved an excellent year as Azimut Benetti Group closed the accounting period with value of production estimated at €850 million (+18% on the previous year at constant exchange rates) and an adjusted EBITDA of €50 million. Volumes are also up and stand at 261 new units.

The strengthening of the Azimut Benetti Group’s position in this segment, confirmed by its placing at the top of the Global Order Book ranking announced last December for the 18th year running, is attributable to the commercial success of the Azimut Grande range, and the 35 and 27-meter models in particular, with 10 and 21 units sold respectively since their market debut, and of the Benetti range. The main markets for Azimut are the Americas, which account for 38% of sales, followed by Europe with 33%, the Middle East with 16% and Asia Pacific with 13%. In South America, the success of the Itajai shipyard in Brazil deserves a special mention, increasing its value of production by 24%, with 36 yachts built, and bucking the trend reported by many European players who have decided to abandon the country.

The Group has invested over €104m over the last three-year period, of which €32m in production capacity and the remaining €72m in renewing the product range. In the upcoming three-year period (2019-2021), another €122m will be invested, of which €28m in production capacity and the remaining €94m on the development of 10 Azimut Yachts and 7 Benetti models to renew the range.

Giovanna Vitelli, Vice President of Azimut Benetti Groupemphasized, “The achievements reported this year, and throughout the Group’s history, are the result of an enterprise approach founded on stability and driven by the farsighted vision of the ownership, which has always pursued management continuity, professionalism and profound respect for the customer as the company’s fundamental values.”

She added, “Benetti will continue to pursue its tradition of excellence, with a management team strengthened by professionals of proven management experience and skill and multiple unique projects in the pipeline. In parallel, Azimut will continue to grow and consolidate its positioning, ensuring that the Group’s overall range continues to be the broadest and most comprehensive in the world. I am also delighted with the excellent performance reported by the other companies in the Group (Fraser, Lusben, Yachtique and the Marinas), which contribute to making us a uniquely distinctive player on the market.”

Azimut excels with new collection

One of the protagonists at this edition of the Cannes Yachting Festival is Azimut S6, the new entry in the S Collection. The S6 is a pure coupé with sporty DNA that looks set to leave its mark in the history of yacht world development, offering unprecedented levels of efficiency obtained with the help of the three IPS propulsion units and Carbon Tech. The exteriors are designed by Stefano Righini, who on this model has further accentuated the glazed surfaces in the hull, a distinctive feature of the S generation, giving the yacht an immediately recognisable profile. The defining characteristics of the interiors by Francesco Guida, for whom this is his second project with the shipyard, are a modern and discrete sense of elegance and a welcoming atmosphere bathed in warm colourways.

The Grande Collection, the most recently introduced collection of Azimut superyachts, has been joined by two new models. The first, the Azimut Grande 25 Metri, has a Carbon Tech superstructure, roll-bar, hard top and transom and represents the perfect blend of charm and technology. For the interiors, designer Achille Salvagni offers a non-conventional take on the living area by abandoning the typical distinction between sofa and dining area, and creating in their place one big space on the Main Deck, which can be transformed into a dining area when needed by raising a recessed table. This solution highlights the decidedly informal and original personality of this model. Two propulsion solutions are available, one with a pair of 1,650 hp Man engines and the other with two 1,800 hp Man units, for a top speed of 29 knots and a cruising speed of 26 knots.

The desire to express an innovative vision that breaks with the past is the driver behind the second novelty in the Collection, the Azimut Grande 32 Metri. This superyacht is the epitome of avant-garde in every aspect, with multiple unprecedented solutions. The defining features of the model are the big, airy, interior and exterior spaces. Outdoors, designer Stefano Righini provides guests not only with a big beach club in the stern, but also a Fly Deck offering a remarkable 70 sq m of space split into three distinct areas: a dining area, a central living space, and finally a relaxation area in the bow with a hydromassage tub, which can become a second lounge area at the owner’s request. The airiness of the outside spaces is complemented by the luminosity of the interiors designed by Achille Salvagni. The full-beam owner’s suite, for example, is flooded with light through full-height glazed surfaces on both sides. Propulsion is provided by two 2,200 mHP MTU engines, driving the yacht to a top speed of 26.5 knots.

Marco Valle, CEO of Azimut Yachts clarified, “Azimut’s growth strategy is based on ever more substantial investments in product development, innovative technology and processes, new design trends and a global commercial presence. That’swhy, I’m confident about our distinctive exposure this year in Cannes Yachting Festival. A number of unique amenities make the flagship of the Azimut Yachts lineup stand out. Furthermore, our yachts’ materials have been designed to offer the ultimate leisure experience and developed for customers to guarantee the most accurate representation of the yacht possible.”

Valle explained, “Our product expansion strategy has proven its success in the market as we do identify the best context for each product. I’m also proud to have highly skilled and qualified team of designers who have different approaches coping with the latest technologies. I promise our clients to continue bringing to market products with strong personalities, each addressed to a specific targetwith a passionate touch of innovation.”

Azimut Yachts exhibits at the Cannes Yachting Festival, from September 11 to 16, Stand Palais 096. For the entire duration of the boat show, the Azimut fleet is available for visits on board.

Majesty 125 MY AltaVita.jpgThe latest yacht in the remarkable superyacht series sets a benchmark in luxury, elegance and true sophistication

In line with its vision to evolve as a pioneering shipyard, Gulf Craft ups its game with the evolution of the timeless Majesty 125 superyacht M/Y AltaVita, as it delivers the next level of perfection. A real standout in its class, the latest Majesty 125 is the sixth in the series to be built and the third to be delivered in Europe.

The sale took place in collaboration with Gulf Craft’s exclusive Australian distributor, Australian Superyachts, acting for the buyer.

Set to cruise in the Mediterranean, this latest iteration of Majesty 125 for 2018 boasts a number of first-time design and personalisation features that will take the owner-experience to a new realm of ocean-going extravagance.

Balanced by a striking bow character, stylish triple decks and a beautifully designed exterior, the superyacht features an excellent use of outdoor spaces with entertainment and lounging areas both fore and aft.

AltaVita features a ‘walk-around upper deck’ for that extra level of comfort and privacy. An embodiment of quintessential outdoor lifestyle, Majesty 125’s spacious sundeck features a curved wet bar and Jacuzzi along with a balcony on the side of the main saloon.

Moving to the lower deck, guests are sure to be charmed by the five stunning en-suite staterooms that can accommodate up to twelve people, richly finished in a dark stained natural walnut veneer with Satuatio White & Armani Grey marble and the finest Italianleather. The owner’s stateroom in the forward main deck is opulently designed, fitted with lavish material. It features a 55” Bang and Olufsen TV and an en suite jacuzzi.

Indeed the latest Majesty 125 is the first example in the model series to sport two unique geometric shaped guest cabin windows that add to the vessel’s futuristic look and offers uninterrupted views of the azure waters around for the guests as they relax in the lavish staterooms.

When it comes to the comforts of the operating crew, AltaVita accommodates up to eight crew members in four cabins on the lower deck and a double captain’s cabin behind the wheelhouse.

Another award-winning superyacht by Gulf Craft, the sophisticated Majesty 125 embodies the values of the Majesty Yachts’ brand of superyachts – luxury that is meaningful, customisation without compromise and performance-based sea keeping. Designed for private getaways and effortless entertainment, this powerful triple-deck is powered by twin CAT engines each having 1,925hp giving her top speed of close to 20 knots.

Adding a lot more life to the ocean adventures, the Majesty 125 boasts a stern garage with hydraulic lifting door and crane for watersports equipment and a Castoldi Jet Tender 16 mounted on the swim platform for multiple runs ashore.

“Owning a vessel of this exceptional standard opens up a unique ocean-going lifestyle with undisturbed privacy for the owners and their guests. As the unknown waters beckon, there’s only the blue horizon visible over the bow of the Majesty 125 offering imposing views. Designed to set a new benchmark, she has been customized to further enhance the owner’s experience.” added Notis Menelaou, Vice President of Sales at Gulf Craft.

Certified by Bureau Veritas, the Majesty 125 is built under rigorous class inspection and complies with the UK Maritime and Coastguard Agency’s Large Commercial Yacht Code (LY3) & Australian Maritime Safety Authority’s National Standard for Commercial Vessels (NSCV) assuring the ownersthat their new superyacht is fully compliant for charter service in the main charter destinations in the world.

Australian Superyachts’ Managing Director, Richard Morris added, “This fully Cayman Islands LY3 compliant Majesty 125 is perfectly suited to the global superyacht charter market, offering versatility for coastal cruising and extended Mediterranean adventures.  Its spacious layout, optimised for 12 guests and 8 crew members, makes it perfect for private cruising for family and friends, and charter guests alike. We fully expect it to be a huge success on the international charter market.”

The Majesty 125 is a true engineering feat, with technical features like Zero Speed Stabilization, Fuel Purification System and a Fresh Water Treatment System that raise the bar even higher in terms of safety and longer cruising journeys.

The remarkable superyacht M/Y AltaVita will be under the spotlight at the Cannes Yachting Festival that will be held in the French Riviera, Port Vieux, from 11thto 16thSeptember 2018 and at the world’s most internationally acclaimed yachting exhibition – the Monaco Yacht Show that will be held from 26thto 29thSeptember 2018.  M/Y AltaVita will be displayed at the superyacht extension in Cannes, in Monaco it will be displayed at Quai Chicane, Port Hercules.

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.

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.

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.”

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.

Features of Christina Too include night vision cameras, 360° thermographic camera, in-built tender refueling system, impressive freezing volumes and battery-powered air conditioning. Christina Too takes care of and entertains her owners and guests day and night.

While much attention was given to practical aspects and low maintenance, this Sunreef Supreme 68 Power is a lot about hospitality and ensuring guests have a good time. The yacht’s bow terrace is fitted with a big sun awning stretching over the entire lounging area comprising large sunbeds and a Jacuzzi. Two well equipped bar modules are installed on the vast flybridge providing plenty of space for dining and sunning.

The size of Christina Too is optimised and hence it is comfortable to accommodate eight guests thanks to the smart layout including two master suites with generous quartz-clad bathrooms and two guest cabins.

The vast main deck featuring a full beam galley and saloon is given a bright custom décor combining grey and cream tones with contrasting colorful furniture. In addition, a state of the art surround system sets the mood for entertainment in the 65m² living space along with a dropdown 55″ TV.

The Sunreef Supreme 68 is the world’s only 68-foot yacht model equipped with a superyacht dinghy garage and boasting 300m² of living space. Christina Too is hence using this potential efficiently and most importantly it is one of a kind. All aspects of Christina Too seems to express the owners’ quest for adventure and life at sea.

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”.
