Damen Yachting has delivered the fourth hull in the Amels Limited Edition range, 60m (196’8″) superyacht SATEMI. She will be setting off from the shipyard in the Netherlands in the next few weeks for her maiden voyage to the Caribbean, where she will be joined by her new owners.

Her naval architect is from Damen Yachting with exteriors from Espen Øino and interiors from Studio Indigo, who were responsible for the original Amels 60 interior concepts. For this model, the owners were engaged from the outset and the result is a highly personalised and unique interior.

Tassos Papantoniou from Torrance Yachts has represented the Owners praised their involvement, “The Owners have been involved with the build for the past 24 months and have been able to set the interior exactly as they want it. They have spared no expense ensuring that their yacht is specified to the very highest standards – everything from the tenders to the dinnerware, it all results in a spectacular outcome.”

Amels focus on delivering exceptional onboard experiences and SATEMI features the Amels Limited Edition signature sun deck, plus large swim platform and owner’s suite folding balcony. Her spacious foredeck can accommodate a 9m tender adding to her overall offering for the owners.

She is equipped with plenty of advanced technology, including an IMO Tier III-compliant hybrid power and propulsion system which has impressed her new captain Mattia Dzaja. He had this to say, “I have reviewed the system specification, and I am impressed. The benefits of this system and the reduced environmental impact are obvious, but what I love most is the additional safety it will provide us when we are cruising.”

The launch of luxury yacht SATEMI is a great start to 2024 for Damen Yachting, with Project Manager commenting, “It’s been great to see how all parties involved have pulled together and have put in so much effort during this busy project. The result of their work speaks for itself; the yacht looks stunning. We hope that the Owners will enjoy stepping on board for the first time this year.”

Having delivered the final model of 2023 and with three more units in build, the Amels 60 is becoming one of the yard’s most sought-after design in both looks and proven technical capabilities.

Her owners are no doubt excited for her arrival in the Caribbean, where the crystal-clear waters will make any yacht feel at home. For your own blissful Caribbean adventure, contact us now for a personalised list of available charter yachts which meet your needs.

The International SeaKeepers Society has a clear mission to advance ocean research and education, making an ideal partner for the MAIDEN team and the ongoing work of the Seabed 2030 Project. The Ocean Globe Race is a fully crewed yacht race commemorating the 50th anniversary of the inaugural 1973 Whitbread Round the World Race.

The race sees MAIDEN taking a break from her world tour, which began in September 2021, with the mission to educate, empower and elevate girls by increasing their life and career choices and raising money to fund girl’s education projects around the world. Since beginning the tour the crew, led by legendary sailor Tracey Edwards MBE, have travelled over 70,000 nautical miles, visited over 20 countries and inspired thousands of girls from all works of life.

Seabed 2030 is a research and data compilation project undertaken by The Nippon Foundation and GEBCO with the aim of creating a freely available gridded bathymetric (depth of water in the ocean) dataset.

Tracey had this to say:

“SeaKeepers’ collaboration with Maiden extends beyond the OGR. Maiden is a proud SeaKeepers program partner and a supporter of The Nippon Foundation-GEBCO Seabed 2030 Project. The crew carries the Seabed 2030 logger on board, contributing valuable data to map the ocean floor as part of SeaKeepers’ Citizen Science initiative. The logger was installed before the OGR, and the first leg of data from the UK to Cape Town is already in the hands of SeaKeepers’ Citizen Science team.”

Seabed 2030 Project Director Mamie McMichael-Phillips added:

“We are delighted by this collaboration and greatly appreciate the support from SeaKeepers, a valued, long-standing partner of Seabed 2030, as well as Maiden, under the leadership of the inspiring Tracy Edwards.

“This partnership stands as a testament to our unwavering commitment to forging a path toward a future where the ocean is comprehensively understood and diligently preserved for generations to come. Our mission is a collective endeavour – achievable only through collaborative efforts, such as this, on an international scale.”

MAIDEN arrived in New Zealand and was greeted by SeaKeeper’s South Pacific Program Development Manager, Melissa White. The SeaKeepers and MAIDEN collaboration extends to other projects including an online educational outreach program designed to inspire the next generation of ocean enthusiasts.

“Maiden’s journey is not just a race around the globe; it’s a testament to the resilience and capability of women in sailing. Their dedication to education, empowerment, and ocean research reflects SeaKeepers’ mission, making this partnership a powerful force for positive change.” Said Gill Rodrigues, Director of International Relations for SeaKeepers.

The preservation of our oceans is a vital part of the ongoing fight against the destruction of the world’s natural resources. With the help of organisations like SeaKeepers and projects like MAIDEN and Seabed 2030 the yachting industry can play their part in improving how we enjoy our seas and oceans for years to come. That is why CharterWorld is a proud partner of The International SeaKeepers  Society.

Pershing have announced that they have launched 35m (114’10”) superyacht BYEEE as the third hull in their GTX116 range. Both elegant and sophisticated at first glance, the streamlined silhouette is a great example of the brand’s personality and uniquely references luxury automotive SUVs – an SUY Sport Utility Yacht.

The exterior of the superstructure and sundeck area are classic Pershing grey, while the hull, the forward and aft sunpad areas and the winch feature a special metallic anthracite colour. The aft cockpit offers an adjustable table with bench seating plus a large sun pad and steps down to the 39sqm beach club and garage which has enough space for jet-skis and water toys. The 40-square-meter sundeck features modern modular sofas designed by Minotti creating a convivial but refined al fresco entertainment space.

The main deck salon features a sophisticated collection of furniture including a Polrona Frau sofa in saddle caffe colour, leather topped dining table and taupe oak parquet flooring by Listone Giordano. The separate galley is well equipped to provide guests with every culinary experience they could wish for plus plenty of storage for the chef.

Four beautiful suites are on the lower deck with a spacious and comfortable master with luxury ensuite and three additional double cabins each with an ensuite bathroom.

The Ferretti Group Engineering Department have fitted three Man V12 2000 engines which deliver head-turning top speeds of 34 knots and a cruising speed of 29 knots.

Heesen have begun North Sea trails for 55m (180’5”) superyacht IRIS BLUE – previous known as Project Apollo. Her design is an evolution from the previous Heesen 55m Steel Class and she is first to be built with the new updated exterior lines. With fewer mullions on the floor-to-ceiling windows in the main salon plus tinted windows throughout give her a more aggressive look along the length of her profile.

Her Fast Displacement Hull design is a collaboration between Naval Architects Van Oossanen, exterior designer Omega Architects and Interior designer Luca Dini Design & Architecture. She can accommodate up to 12 guests in a six-stateroom configuration with her upper deck owner’s suite featuring a French (or Juliette) balcony.

Other interior highlights include a wide staircase in the atrium from the sun lounge to the sundeck allowing the crew to deliver seamless guest service. Meanwhile on deck, the new design boasts an extended sun deck and now features a wrap-around bar and a whirlpool jacuzzi.

Power comes from twin MTU engines which deliver a top speed of 16.5 knots and a cruising speed of 13 knots.

We hope that IRIS BLUE and her crew are coping with the extremes of the North Sea in January!

Custom Line announced the launch of 41.80m (137′ 2″) superyacht NIMIR in the closing weeks of 2023. She is the eleventh Navetta 42 from the Ferretti Group Engineering Department, designed by the Custom Line Atelier.  

The tri-deck yacht features a sleek, dynamic profile, flowing lines and a functional aesthetic. The colour palette chosen for the interior pairs pale, muted colours with contrasting tones that range from subtle milk white and sand to elegant shades of grey. The furnishings feature fine materials such as Bianca Gioia, Travertino Titanio and Carrara marble, creating a style that is both regal and refined at the same time.

The launch coincided with the launch of motor yacht PUFFERFISH, a Custom Line Navetta 33 and the twentieth Custom Line 106 which has yet to be named.

Wider Yachts have announced the launch of motor catamaran ACALI, the first 28.04 m (91’9″) hybrid WiderCat 92, from their facility in Venice, Italy. Her naval architecture was created in-house at Wider, while the elegant exterior is from Luca Dini Design and Architecture.

Marcello Maggi, the head of Wider’s parent company W-Fin Sarl, had this to say about the model, “The WiderCat 92 is a collective masterpiece, a synthesis of vision, craftsmanship, and cutting-edge technology.”

The beautiful yacht breaks down technological boundaries and the barriers between outdoor and indoor spaces, reflecting a concept where functionality, aesthetics and innovation coexist. The generous exterior offers an aft and foredeck on the upper deck plus an aft cockpit and owner’s suite private foredeck lounge. Her tender garage boasts a transom hatch that effortlessly transforms into an expansive swim platform, while fold-down bulwarks from the VIP suites allow for more space and concealed storage compartments for water toys.

The main salon and sky lounge create premium sociable spaces and the layout is very guest focussed. She features a four-stateroom configuration, consisting of a spacious owner’s suite on the main deck, two generous VIP suites and a twin guest stateroom located on the lower deck.

She uses an advanced hybrid propulsion system with twin electric motors delivering 500kW to each thruster plus two variable speed generators to run the yacht’s systems. 150 square meters of solar panels ensures energy efficiency at anchor with excess energy stored in the on-board batteries. This hybrid system minimises engine strain, extending maintenance intervals compared to traditional yachts, as well as reduces fuel consumption, noise and vibrations emitted.

“Each designer, engineer, and craftsman has poured their passion into this endeavor. As we celebrate this achievement, I have full confidence that, just as in our previous milestones, the WiderCat 92 will set a new standard in the industry,” added Marcello Maggi.

Her outfitting continues as she prepares for sea trials and commissioning.
