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.”

LAUNCH OF THE RIVA 110’ DOLCEVITA A CONTEMPORARY LEGEND

Riva 110' Dolcevita launch 1.jpg

The new flagship took to the sea for the first time at the La Spezia shipyard, fending the waves with its unmistakeable profile.

Reminiscent of the unforgettable Anita Ekberg bathing in the waters of Trevi Fountain, Riva 110’ Dolcevita, with its flybridge of unparalleled beauty, entered the sea and posterity all at the same time.

The first unit of the new Riva masterpiece was launched on Thursday 22 March in La Spezia, at the shipyard that manufactures its 76 and 110 foot models.

Riva 110’ Dolcevita is huge from every point of view. Its visual impact takes the breath away as does the incomparable combination of aesthetics and function, state-of-the-art technology and sea-faring experience.

Marked by an ultra-sporting profile and a design embellished by shaped glass windows and chrome inserts, it’s the flagship of the fibreglass fleet. Among the most striking features, there’s the large glass windows on the trim line with integrated portholes and, on deck, the single height glass window that runs the entire length of the living room with the glass framed by a stainless steel structure.

This new Riva model is once again the result of a collaboration between Officina Italiana Design, the design studio founded by Mauro Micheli with Sergio Beretta, the Strategic Product Committee chaired by Ing. Piero Ferrari and the Engineering Department of the Ferretti Group.

“For the largest Riva ship we have chosen the name of a time that is still endowed with sparkle and charm. The Dolce Vita as a truly Italian style indication, the happy combination where good construction and the good life come together. Cruising on this amazing 33 metre yacht is an aesthetic and emotional experience akin to the amazement felt by anyone watching the passing of the Rex, the famous cruise ship featured in the film Amarcord, another of Federico Fellini’s masterpieces –according to the Ferretti Group Chief Executive Officer, Avv. Alberto Galassi. This new seaworthy work of art is not just a gift to our brand’s fans, but to all dreamers who can thus rediscover the splendour and thrills of a new Dolce Vita”.

Riva 110’ Dolcevita will make its official début during an exclusive event to take place in Montecarlo in May, the ideal place for the presentation of a yacht that is already legendary.

CUSTOM LINE 106’: A MADE-TO-MEASURE MARVEL

Custom Line 106' exteriors 3.jpg

The new addition to the Custom Line planing range was presented at the 2018 Miami Yacht Show. It is the second model by Francesco Paszkowski Design and it will make its debut in late 2018.

Custom Line is broadening the horizons of perfect yachting with a new project that got an enthusiastic response from the public and members of the trade at the recent US boat show.

The Custom Line 106’ is a new addition to the planing range. It is a product of the partnership between the Francesco Paszkowski Design studio, the Ferretti Group’s Engineering Department and the Product Strategy Committee led by the engineer Piero Ferrari.

The design of the lines on the bottom and the hull helps it to replicate and build on the outstanding hydrodynamic performance of the latest models in the brand’s planing range.

“The Custom Line 106’ marks another step forward in the growth of the Ferretti Group brand dedicated to large fibreglass yachts. This exceptional vessel complements the Custom Line planing-hull selection, which comes together with the array of semi-displacing models to form a comprehensive range for owners who want sizeable spaces, cutting-edge technological solutions, style and comfort: in other words, Custom Line excellence,” stated Alberto Galassi, the Chief Executive Officer of the Ferretti Group.

“In the design of the new 106’, a number of the brand’s distinctive features have been emphasized and new stylistic traits have been introduced. As is plain to see in various places, efforts have been made to break down the boundaries between the exterior and the interior. The new technical solutions and all of the aspects of the exterior and interior lines are closely interlinked, as they are all parts of a single architectural arrangement with perfect balance between the forms and functions,” explained Francesco Paszkowski.

EXTERIOR

The new yacht has large floor surfaces (a total of 220 m./2,370 square feet) that are all interconnected. To the stern is a more advanced version of the patented DMT – Dual Mode Transom system. It features two hatches that cover the stairs when the vessel is in motion, thus giving the stern an unbeatably clean-cut appearance. When the ship stops, they disappear into the central part of the door so that guests can climb up. From the garage, a tender of up to 5.45 metres and a three-person jet ski can be lowered into the water.

The forward area is even bigger than on other recent models: on the raised central island there are sofas and upholstered seating with reclining backrests and on the bow area there is a large sun pad spanning a total of 36 m. (387 square feet). There is also an additional garage for a Williams 2.80 Jet or a three-person jet ski.

The forward area is directly connected to the 53 m. flybridge by a walkway. Protected by two large windows on the sides, it has a standard hard top with two skylights. In addition, Bimini tops or canopies can be fitted to provide shade in the external areas.

INTERIOR

The interiors of the main deck are bathed in natural light thanks to the large, full-height windows. On request, the central window on the starboard side of the lounge can be fitted with an electric opening mechanism. The support columns used on the Custom Line 120’ can also be found here, with lighting, audio and air conditioning systems on them.

Further along the starboard side, there is a full-beam master cabin in the foredeck. It is 6.50 m (21’4”) wide and contains plenty of storage space for the owner, as well as two dressing rooms and a large bathroom with dual facilities and a central shower. On request, a panoramic terrace can be added.

The port-side bulwark of the main deck provides access to the galley, the crew quarters (consisting of a cabin for the captain with a bathroom and a separate shower, and two crew cabins with a separate bathroom), and the integrated raised bridge.

The layout on the lower deck contains four standard cabins: two VIP cabins amidships and two twin ones forward, all with separate bathrooms. The beds in the VIP cabins face the bulwark to make the most of the view from the large hull windows, while an optional additional Pullman bed can be fitted in each of the two twin cabins.

The style of the vessel continues in the same vein as the Custom Line 120’: it explores greater formal balance and there are distinctive, strong colour contrasts in the furnishings and coverings.

Like the other recent Custom Line models, the 106’ comes with innovative software that allows an iPad to be used to operate the entertainment system installed in the lounge on the main deck, meaning that the various remote controls can be replaced by a single device. This technological solution can be extended to all of the different parts of the maxi yacht and it can also be used in conjunction with the owner’s personal devices.

The Custom Line 106’ is fitted with twin MTU 16V engines rated at 2217 mhp, which can take it to a maximum speed of 23 knots (preliminary data). Alternatively, it is possible to ask for twin MTU 16V engines, which can generate 2638 mhp and reach a maximum speed of 26 knots (preliminary data).

The standard version is equipped with electro-hydraulic stabilizing fins, offering both underway and zero-speed modes. On request, gyroscopic stabilizers can also be fitted for maximum comfort at anchor.
