Lürssen has delivered the 115m/377ft luxury mega yacht APHO, which has been formerly known as Project ENZO. The name ‘Apho’ means ‘Grand Lady’ in Mandarin Chinese – a very well suited name for a superyacht of this calibre. 

Built with a steel hull and aluminium superstructure, mega yacht AHPO spans six decks and has a volume of 5,000 GT. The naval architecture was completed by the shipyard, while Nuvolari Lenard completed both her interior and exterior styling.

She was signed for in September 2018 by a repeat Lürssen client who had previously owned a vessel designed by Nuvolari Lenard. The launch took place in June 2021 with sea trials taking place in the North Sea earlier in November.

The family-focused design has entertainment and wellness features including a lower deck spa and a comprehensive gym on the same deck as the sky lounge, and the accommodation sleeps up to 14 guests across 7 en-suite cabins, which includes a spacious Master suite.

Cutting-edge engineering provides plenty of additional unseen benefits for guests, such as a heat recovery system applied to the generators that heat the swimming pool, and a Dynamic Positioning System (DPS) to hold a place without dropping anchor.

Megayacht AHPO is sure to be a presence in the cruising grounds she visits the world over, providing her Owner and guests with an exceptional experience.

Heesen has announced the successful launch of its 80m/262.6ft luxury yacht, PROJECT COSMOS (a.k.a. HULL YN 19480), which took place on the 19th of November at its shipyard in Oss.

The exterior styling from Winch Design features an athletic appearance and clean lines running from bow to stern: The brief from the Owner stressed the desire for a strong and individualised appearance while still remaining recognisable as a true Heesen luxury yacht. Sculptural forms and the extensive use of glass have enhanced her appearance for a futuristic feel – a deserved trait for the world’s largest and fastest all-aluminium yacht at 1,700 GT and a maximum speed of almost 30 knots.

Within, Sinot Yacht Architecture & Design styled the impeccable interiors using a mostly neutral palette with splashes of blue hues. The beach club is the focal point for life on board and entices guests arriving by tender with its back-lit onyx bar at its centre. Fold-down side terraces add even more space beside the water along with the stern platform for a desirable lounge offering sunshine and shade.

Superyacht PROJECT COSMOS will undergo sea trials in the North Sea in February 2022 ahead of her delivery in April 2022.

Amels, part of the Damen Yachting Group, is currently constructing under speculation a new AMELS 60M luxury yacht known as PROJECT SNOW for delivery in Autumn 2023.

The exterior styling is by renowned designer Espen Oeino, with Studio Indigo creating the interior concept. Featured amenities include a touch-and-go helipad, sundeck Jacuzzi, beach club and sauna across 486m2/5,231ft2 of deck space.

PROJECT SNOW has hybrid power and propulsion technology for more efficient and environmentally cruising through some of the world’s most sensitive maritime regions. She has a top speed of 15.5 knots and a transatlantic range of 4,500 nautical miles at 13 knots.

The accommodation is designed for up to 12 guests along with a crew of 13 to ensure that the Owner and guests have stellar service wherever they travel.

An Owner is expected to further personalise the interiors and amenities to make an AMELS 60M unique to her sisterships. More details are expected following her public debut after delivery in Q3 of 2023.

Admiral Yachts, part of the Italian Sea Group, has launched its 75m/246ft flagship vessel, luxury yacht KENSHŌ, at the shipyard on Wednesday the 17th of November.

Constructed with a steel hull and aluminium superstructure, M/Y KENSHŌ replaces the previous Admiral flagship PLANET NINE by 1.8m/5.11ft. Azure Yacht Design and Naval Architecture produced the naval architecture and exterior and interior styling for motor yacht KENSHŌ, which features a generous beach club swimming pool and a forward living area on the upper deck where the wheelhouse is traditionally located.

Natural materials form serene and harmonious social areas throughout by using the same wood types in the furniture as the surrounding wooden panelling, while flecked white furnishings are complemented by matching shades and varied textures in the ceiling, carpet and blinds. The floor-to-ceiling windows create a greater connection to the sea, and after dark the golden glow of recessed lights sets the scene for cosy conversations and film nights. Through the main salon, guests have access to the alfresco dining area on the bow of the main deck.

The accommodation sleeps a total of 16 guests over 8 en-suite cabins: 1 Master suite with a full beam of 13m/42.8ft and 7 further guest cabins. The professional crew of 20 will be accommodated over 12 cabins.

M/Y KENSHŌ is powered by a diesel-electric propulsion system that produces a maximum speed of 16 knots and a cruising speed of 14 knots with a transatlantic range of 4,350 nautical miles.

She will now undergo sea trials ahead of her delivery in 2022 before she becomes available to charter during the summer cruising season.

Tankoa Yachts has released images of its latest S501 hull, the imposing all-aluminium luxury yacht OLOKUN.

M/Y OLOKUN is the third hull produced from the S501 platform and follows swiftly on from the success of the first hull, motor yacht VERTIGE, which was launched in 2017, and motor yacht BINTADOR, launched in 2019, to make the model the shipyard’s best-seller.

OLOKUN immediately distinguishes herself from her sister hulls by her stormy black hull accented minimally with a low silver superstructure. This sultry appearance required a different approach compared to light coloured hulls: Dark hulls have a tendency to overheat in the sunshine and to prevent this the shipyard used special awlgrip coatings that reduce the temperature of the hull by as much as 10°C.

Superyacht OLOKUN boasts exterior styling and a layout by renowned designer Francesco Paszkowski, while the refined interiors come from prolific design studio Casa Dio Miami|London. True to contemporary trends, the interiors use natural materials and colours for a serene and welcoming environment. The simple and clean lines are inspired by Japanese design, enhanced by top quality fabrics from prestigious Italian brand Loro Piana and unique bespoke furniture by Casa Dio Miami|London that was created just for the interiors of OLOKUN.

Brushed oak is used on the ceilings, walls and flooring in three different shades: Natural, Tokyo Black and Bitter Grey. Plush jute and wool carpeting from Loro Piana is found within the bedrooms, while the bathrooms are finished in Calcatta and black marquina marble trims and Compac high-tech quartz.

The Owner opted for several changes to the exteriors and interiors, namely the relocation of the formal dining room to the upper deck to dedicate the main deck aft to the main salon, the conversion of the side-loading tender garage in the stern to additional space for the beach club, a private office for the Master suite that can be converted into an extra cabin.

Similar to the previous S501 models, OLOKUN has fold-down terraces off the main salon and Master suite on the main deck forward as well as a sundeck Jacuzzi and bar, and a spa within the beach club on the lower deck.

Twin MTU 8V4000 M54 engines allow superyacht OLOKUN to travel at a top speed of 17.5 knots and a cruising speed of 14 knots while an economical 10 knots grants a transatlantic range of 4,500 nautical miles.

Three more units of the S501 platform are currently under construction, two of which have been sold while the third is being built on speculation.
