Superyacht MAIA is almost ready for charter, following her launch a couple of months ago from the Radez shipyard in Croatia. She will be fully fitted and looking sensational in time for the 2025 summer yacht charter season, and we are delighted to share an exclusive look at the latest renderings which reveal the luxury finish charter guests can expect.

At 53.10m (174’21”) she has been constructed with meticulous attention to detail and styled with beautiful classic looks. Her heritage green hull – elongated at the bow and stern, soft-white and wood-panelled superstructure and teak decking are crowned by a quintessential yellow and black funnel. The elegantly curved deck levels complement the continuous rows of arched windows which hark back to a bygone yachting era. Contemporary luxuries on the sun deck include a circular jacuzzi surrounded by sun pads, a sit up bar and plush sofas which can be sheltered using soft sail shades.

The main deck aft is set up to offer wonderful al fresco dining experiences and a big surprise! The fold out transom creates a fabulous beach terrace which can be further extended with an expansive modular floating dock. Guests will love the exclusive water’s edge playground where the jet skis and other water toys can dock, there is a trampoline and a combination of seating and sunbathing arrangements. An exclusive private floating island!

Once inside, the yacht has been expertly configured for up to twelve charter guests and features plenty of light and convivial entertainment areas plus six elegantly appointed private staterooms all with bespoke ensuite bathrooms. The main deck master stateroom is exceptionally well-appointed and is a haven for primary charter guests secluded from the other accommodation on the lower deck. The main salon is configured with a bar and lounge aft and dining setting forward – with the tables and bar top being a rich green marble to coordinate perfectly with the green soft furnishings.

Superyacht MAIA marks the culmination of years of passionate dedication from owner Filip Jakir who has worked closely with the construction team throughout the project. Filip’s inspiration for MAIA comes from a lifelong love of sailing and a deep appreciation for traditional yacht design.

Filip has shared his thoughts on the project, “Having grown up around wooden ships and with my maritime academy background, I developed a profound admiration for the classic lines and craftsmanship of traditional yachts. On board MAIA, guests will experience the nostalgia and beauty of a classic yacht, but with all the luxuries of modern yachting—state-of-the-art entertainment, water toys, spacious decks, and exceptional service.”

Filip will proudly take the helm alongside his experienced and dedicated crew of ten who have been delivering exceptional service for over ten years on board his 31m luxury gulet TAJNA MORA. He commented: “We all have a philosophy of going above and beyond and we work well together – guests feel this immediately. Many of our guests step aboard as clients and leave as friends – to me, this says it all.”

MAIA’s home port of Split in Croatia makes an ideal starting point for luxury yacht charters along the Adriatic Coast and boarding at the beautiful main port is a unique experience. Itineraries can include many of Croatia’s most stunning towns and villages as well as anchorages in quiet and secluded coves. Here guests can dive into the crystal-clear water by day, dine al fresco in complete privacy in the evening and rest at night with only the sound of the sea gently lapping against the boat.

Filip is delighted to show guests his beloved Croatia, but also has extensive experience elsewhere in the Mediterranean and Caribbean.

“Many guests arrive knowing very little about Croatia and it is a true joy to show them the beauty, history and even gastronomy of my home country. Simply pointing them to the night sky and seeing the look on their faces when they see millions of stars is priceless.”

CharterWorld and our partner in Croatia, Otium Yachts are delighted to be representing superyacht MAIA and are currently accepting bookings for summer 2025 onwards with charter rates from €130,000 per week + expenses.

At a press conference this week, Benetti’s Head of Product Sebastiano Vida – and his design team – presented four new superyacht models to the international media gathered at the Hotel Hermitage Monte-Carlo. As well as releasing information about the new yachts, the Benetti Group emphasized their commitment to innovation in sustainability by combining future research with the implementation of the most effective solutions available today.

B.YOND

The successful voyager range will be joined by the B.YOND 57M and the B.YOND 40M, both evolutions of previous models in collaboration with Igor Lobanov – exterior designer – and Bonetti/Kozerski Architecture – interior designer. The B.YOND range all share an ‘explorer feel’ while retaining the classic elegance Benetti yachts are known for.

The B.YOND 57M is available in three stern configurations: The Beach version features a generous outdoor terrace and pool, the Air version has a touch and go helipad, while the Water version is designed to stow marine exploration equipment.

The B.YOND 40M has been designed across four decks, each dedicated to a unique function with various possible configurations. Sociable areas occupy about 150sqm and are characterised by floor-to-ceiling glazing with flood the interior with natural light.

MOTOPANFILO 45M

With a steel hull and aluminium superstructure, the MOTOPANFILO 45M is a reimagining of the ‘Navetta’ concept designed in collaboration with exterior designers RWD and interior designers Lazzarini Pickering Architetti. The model introduces the Veranda Deck®, a concept which reinvents the main deck salon by completely opening it on three sides to create a veranda overlooking the infinity pool and the surrounding vistas.

B.LOFT

Designed by Cassetta Yacht Design, this new model brings a contemporary residential feel to a mega-yacht and a brand-new idea – the lower deck cabana. As an evolution of a beach club, the space offers 270-degree views with fold out wings to further expand the area. The interiors are characterised by four-metre-high ceilings which demonstrate the ‘Loft’ concept after which the model is named.

Benetti are one of the most successful superyacht builders in the world and currently have a pipeline of 58 units awaiting construction. Many of Benetti’s outstanding superyachts and mega-yachts are available for charter, as are their more modest sisterships under 40m.

Once again, The Monaco Yacht Show has been an inspirational event where the best superyachts have lined up side-by-side, new concepts have been unveiled and the yachting community have spent time networking and exploring.

Mulder Design, the renowned Dutch naval architect and design studio, have unveiled superyacht PROJECT OPAL which is currently under construction at the Turkish shipyard Ares Yachts. The 70m (229’7”) hull is well underway, making her an enticing prospect for anyone looking to purchase with a short delivery time.

The high-speed cruising hull is timelessly styled to show off her agility – she will offer a high level of efficiency or the ability to cruise at least 30% faster depending on which engine package is chosen.

“With the exterior styling, what we have aimed to achieve is a look that appeals to a lot of people,” says Bas Mulder, Owner at Mulder Design. “The core attributes are calm and elegant lines that work in harmony with the marine environment rather than screaming for attention,” he continues. “The project’s organic lines follow the flow of waves and clouds, and the yacht looks like she was sculpted by the wind. Further, the considered use of materials and colours with wood, glass and metal elements add to the clean design.”

PROJECT OPAL is a fitting name giving the gemstones association with protection and inspiring cheerfulness, optimism and spontaneity, alongside creativity and originality. The yacht will reflect all these attributes in her onboard experience.

Mulder Design’s trademark features including flared bulwarks on the upper two decks which improve sight lines from the bridge wing stations and create the opportunity for an expanded deck area around the owner’s suite – which is situated forward on the upper deck. The six additional guest suites have been designed to fill the forward section of the main deck while the aft area is dedicated to the salon and dining area, leading out onto a multi-zone aft deck. The upper deck sky lounge can be altered to create a complete owner’s deck – perfect for long voyages.

Elsewhere the top deck houses the wheelhouse and captain’s accommodation with an aft sundeck and steps up to an intimate observation deck complete with spa pool. Guests will love the expansive beach club in the stern with glass doors leading out onto the generous swim platform, which offers seamless access to the water. A transverse garage holds the yacht’s various tenders and toys, and the foredeck doubles as a touch-and-go helipad for the ultimate arrival and departure experience.

The lower deck is primarily for the crew with generous crew cabins, mess and galley plus additional technical areas which will conveniently be away from any guest areas.

“This will be a one-off project, and what makes it extra special is the fast delivery time thanks to our experience as a large shipyard and our sterling reputation,” says Şahi̇nkaya Orhun, Managing Director of Ares Yachts. “It will be built to commercial specification and there is potential for various propulsion options, including Voith Linear Jets if performance in the mid-20-knot range is required, or hybrid and even full electric propulsion packages.”

The GA will be finalised in the next few months, and it is estimated that superyacht PROJECT OPAL will be available for delivery within 32 months – an exceptional timeframe for a custom 70m superyacht.

Mulder Yachts has been an established player in the Dutch luxury yacht building arena since 1938, developing innovative superyachts which combine traditional craftsmanship with the latest technology ever since. Working in collaboration with shipyards including Heesen and Rossinavi, many of their yachts are available for charter around the world.

Built as a sistership to the original T680 FENICE, this new Tankoa model – the T520 FENICE, named aft the famous Venetian opera house – captures the same grace, space, charm and ingenuity of her larger predecessor.

“We once again asked Enrico Gobbi of the Venetian studio Team for Design to compose this second masterpiece, which not only sits perfectly in the 50-metre segment where Tankoa has always been very strong, but which also further highlights our capabilities as a true boutique shipyard able to satisfy every need with unique projects,” says Vincenzo Poerio, CEO at Tankoa.

The yacht shows off her classic elegance and has been designed by drawing influence from contemporary classic yacht design with elements of automotive and aeronautical styling. The holistic design ensures the inside and outside blend seamlessly with innovative spaces created with guests in mind.

“Careful attention to proportional design has meant sleek, elegant and dynamic lines offering spacious and generous areas on board – a significant achievement that considerably enhances the owner and guest experience,” says Enrico Gobbi, CEO of Team for Design.

He continued, “The streamlined forms are reminiscent of jet and automotive aesthetics, imparting a feeling of lightness and agility, while the grey hull, with anthracite accents, further underscores the influence of car design, while maintaining the luxurious appeal of a superyacht.”

One of the standout features on board is the stern area which forms a series of interconnected spaces on different levels to reflect their functions. There is a panoramic cockpit overlooking an infinity pool which is surrounded by two large sunpads. Water flows down a channel to the pool linking it with the beach club below. The three-dimensional effect works to connect the cockpit, beach club, swim platform and even the lower-deck gym.

The aft terrace pool is one of three on board, which also include a forward spa on the sun deck and a pool on the foredeck. There are plenty of al fresco entertainment spaces to entice guests, such as the 12-seater dining setting on the upper deck and semi-enclosed glass salon on the sun deck.

Large glass windows create visual and functional continuity between the interior and exterior spaces and the commonality in the material used creates even more harmony. Uninterrupted teak decks, continuous ceilings and well-crafted architecture lines flow effortlessly throughout.

Across the bridge, main and lower deck there are six fabulous staterooms to accommodate up to twelve guests: the bridge deck is home to the VIP suite, the full-beam master is on the main deck, while four guest suites are on the lower deck. All six suites are accompanied by luxury ensuite bathroom facilities with the master also having a study area and private starboard terrace.

Superior guest spaces are also placed across the three levels and include a lovely upper salon with amazing views, a main salon with formal lounge and dining plus a beach club and gym on the lower complete with state-of-the-art equipment and sauna leading out to the beach platform.

“This new yacht shows once again that interweaving numerous melodies in terms of design and functionality while still offering owners flexibility for personalising their yacht to their needs is a core strength that differentiates Tankoa in the market,” says Giuseppe Mazza Tankoa’s sales manager. “She is another virtuoso performance, perfect for discerning owners who enjoy the quiet refinement we offer that enables us to cater to their every need while delivering a unique yacht of unsurpassed quality.”

We will follow her progress and look forward to sharing more about this exciting and unique project. For information about Tankoa yachts available for charter take a look through our listings.

The luxury superyacht REVERIE is a stunning 50.29m vessel by Feadship, offering an opulent charter experience. Accommodating up to 12 guests in six luxurious cabins, it boasts a professional crew of 12 for personalized service. Recent refits in 2017 and 2022 have elevated her features, including elegant interiors, a sun deck with a Jacuzzi, alfresco dining, and a gym. With a cruising speed of 12 knots and a top speed of 15 knots, REVERIE is ideal for Mediterranean and Caribbean charters to share with friends and family. 

Feadship, a leader in luxury yacht design, has revealed its latest concept, CONCEPT C, to celebrate the company’s 75th anniversary. Drawing inspiration from Feadship’s storied history and cutting-edge technology, this 75-meter yacht is more than just a design; it’s a statement of innovation and sustainability.

Named “C” after the periodic symbol for carbon, the core component of diamonds—the traditional symbol for a 75th anniversary—the yacht honours Feadship’s past while projecting a sustainable future. CONCEPT C incorporates advanced technologies such as fully electric propulsion systems and wave-energy generation, contributing to a 30% increase in efficiency compared to conventional yachts. The hull design, influenced by the renowned Breathe concept, utilizes a forward-facing propeller system that minimizes turbulence and vibrations, ensuring a smoother, quieter ride.

The exterior design is equally impressive, with a faceted structure that mimics the way diamonds reflect light, while broad glass surfaces allow natural light to flood the multi-level interior. The yacht’s central feature, a floating staircase and open lift, offers seamless transitions between decks. This layout is complemented by a split-level design, blurring the boundaries between indoor and outdoor spaces. CONCEPT C also takes luxury to a new level, featuring a sea lounge with retractable terraces, a sea-level dining room, and a gym with panoramic ocean views. A private suite spans two levels, offering unparalleled comfort and privacy.

In terms of sustainability, CONCEPT C runs entirely on green methanol fuel cells, producing zero emissions, and reflects Feadship’s commitment to decarbonizing the yachting industry.

With the unveiling of CONCEPT C – a highly anticipated moment at the Monaco Yacht Show, Feadship continues to push the boundaries of yacht design, blending luxury with sustainability for a truly groundbreaking vessel.
