Luxury yacht ACE is the first fully custom yacht from Conrad Yachts and the largest ever built in Poland from an experienced collaboration between the shipyard, Reymond Langton and Diana Yacht Design. Launched in the closing weeks of 2022 she is now available on the charter market for the 2023 European summer season and can accommodate up to 10 guests in 5 suites. 

By day, this fabulous super yacht gleams in the sun and presents with a solid profile and three deck levels while including all the premium luxury features discerning charterers expect. There is a sophisticated jacuzzi on the sociable sun deck with adjacent bar and dining table where guests can hang out all day, huge al fresco dining table on the bridge deck and comfortable lounge on the main deck aft. Meanwhile there is plenty of space on the bow lounge for a group to spend the day soaking up the sun.

After dark, guests can make their way back up to the sun deck to watch a movie on the 100’ outdoor movie screen, wine and dine al fresco on the main deck aft or venture inside to gather in the sizeable main salon or seek privacy in their own suite.

The interior is a blend of classic and contemporary with a sophisticated neutral colour palette, vast panoramic windows and clever use of reflective surfaces to give the illusion of a double height space. The guest suites are cool and calm with feature lighting, presenting a warm atmosphere enhanced with premium fabrics, marble and wood finishes. Once in their suite, guests won’t want to leave the beautiful beds, stylish well-equipped bathrooms or the comfort provided by the at anchor and underway stabilisers.

The crew will be on board throughout to tempt you away from your cabin to have a go on the amazing selection of water toys (the yacht also holds RYA water sports centre accreditation), sip a handmade cocktail or dine on cuisine prepared, with care, from local ingredients.

Superyacht ACE is available for charter in the Mediterranean, one of the most beautiful charter locations in the world. Our experienced brokers can assist guests with planning an itinerary along the French Riviera, the Amalfi Coast or even the beautiful Greek Islands.

There is nowhere like the Mediterranean as the weather heats up for summer and there is nowhere hotter, more chic or exciting than the French Riviera for the Monaco Grand Prix and Cannes Film Festival – two of the world’s most prestigious events hosted along this beautiful stretch of coastline.

So why not immerse yourself in the harbour side glamour on board a luxury yacht?

The Monaco Grand Prix is an annual event that takes place in the streets of Monte Carlo and is one of the most challenging Formula 1 races in the world, attracting attention from motorsport enthusiasts and the rich and famous alike. A yacht charter during the Monaco Grand Prix is the ultimate way to experience this event. Not only do you get to watch the race from the comfort of your own yacht, but you also get to enjoy the luxurious amenities that come with it. Imagine sipping champagne in the jacuzzi while watching the cars whizzing by, or having a gourmet meal on the sun deck prepared by your personal chef as you soak up the electric atmosphere.

In May the French Riviera hosts the annual Cannes Film Festival, perhaps the most famous celebration of cinema in the world. The festival is known for its glitz and glamour and the red carpets draw the crème-de-la-crème of the movie industry to show off their films and fashion. While the streets and hotels may be packed with people, a yacht offers a peaceful and private oasis where you can relax on the deck, soak up the sun, and enjoy the spectacle away from the crowds.

A yacht is also a great way to entertain guests or clients if you are attending these events on business. Chartering a luxury yacht offers accommodation and event space in one while impressing your associates with a unique and unforgettable experience.

The French Riviera is home to luxury yachts of all shapes and sizes which can be chartered for a few days to attend one of the events or for a few weeks to incorporate business and pleasure or even a full tour of the Mediterranean over the summer months.

Italy has a rich history of boat building that dates back to ancient times. The country’s unique geography, with its extensive coastline and numerous islands, has played a significant role in the development of this craft. The Venetians, for example, were renowned for their gondolas and other intricate watercraft. During the Renaissance, Italian shipbuilders developed advanced techniques for constructing large warships and trading vessels. In the 20th century, Italian boat building flourished with the rise of luxury yachts and speedboats. Today, Italian boat builders are still at the forefront of innovation, creating some of the world’s most beautiful and high-performance vessels.

Meanwhile, chartering a yacht in Italy offers a luxurious way to explore the country’s stunning coastline, islands, and historic cities. From the glamour of the Amalfi Coast to the rugged beauty of Sardinia, a CharterWorld broker can help you plan your ideal itinerary and with so many yachts to choose from there is an Italian yacht charter to suit every taste.

Stunning 46m (150’11”) sailing yacht OMNIA (ex Aiaxaia) has recently been renamed, but continues to deliver fantastic charters for up to twelve guests around Croatia.

As one of the premium yachts currently sailing the coastlines of Croatia, she boasts a host of features sure to appeal to any charter group. Days can be spent together on the sociable decks relaxing on the sun pads around the jacuzzi or enjoying morning coffee in the lounge on the sun deck where the central bar can be transformed at night to host pre-dinner drinks.

A concept yacht is a design for a luxury vessel that is not currently in production and is typically created by a yacht designer as a way to showcase their creativity vision for the future of yachting. They can range from radical and futuristic designs to more subtle variations on traditional yacht designs and usually feature the latest in technology, materials, and engineering to push the boundaries of what is possible in terms of speed, efficiency, and luxury.

While many concept yachts are created every year, only a small fraction of them actually get built, largely only if the design generates enough interest and funding. However, even if a concept yacht is not built, it can still have a significant impact on the industry by inspiring new design ideas, influencing trends, and driving innovation.

Here we take a look at three recent concept yachts penned by some of the industries most innovative designers.

Concept sailing yacht DOUBLE LUCK

From the design studio Lobanov Design in association with Oceanco and Dykstra Naval Architects comes the 88m sailing yacht DOUBLE LUCK which translates as 88 in Chinese (the number 8 is significant in Chinese numerology).

The yacht would be capable of decreasing fossil fuel usage by up to 30% and can cruise in complete silence while the sail system can be handled by a single crew member and fully extended in under 6 minutes. The exterior design centres around the masts which create key focal points such as a zen garden at the base of the forward mast. Fold out decks, a swimming pool and beach club plus a two deck winter garden connect the yacht with the surrounding nature, as intended by the designers.

The interior features organic materials to create soft flowing lines and the focus is on introducing plenty of natural light and connecting the indoor and outdoor spaces.

Sailing yacht DOUBLE LUCK is the third collaboration from this team and follows 110m super yacht KAOS and 85.5m super yacht AMORE VERO.

105m superyacht concept 5Th ELEMENT

Superyacht 5TH ELEMENT is more than a yacht concept, but a lifestyle created by Theodoros Fotiadis Design with a focus on nature and wellbeing which reflects the five natural elements.

Endless glass walls reflect the other natural materials in use throughout while a private swimming pool, endless deck spaces and views create a real sense of connection with the water.

The main salon is the focal point of the concept and presents as a huge sociable space at the heart of the yacht featuring a serene interior made from natural materials in wonderful curved shapes.

Francesco Struglia unveils superyacht concept

Still in development this is a preview which hints at an impressive 61m superyacht design with a 1,000 GT volume, contemporary architecture and asymmetric layout to increase the usable space for guests. With a 10.4 beam there is huge breadth for the salon, spa area, swimming pool and beach club. There is even a consideration for a retractable roof on the top deck wheelhouse.

It is believed the accommodation will be for up to 12 guests and feature a private owners deck which these days are a must on any super yacht.

We can’t predict if any of these concepts will result in a finished yacht, but the focus on sustainability, use of natural materials and enhanced connection with the water will no doubt feature in designs from yacht builders in the not too distant future.

Baglietto is a name synonymous with quality and the launch of 41m superyacht FRANCESCA II from the shipyard in La Spezia, Italy showcases their pioneering yacht building expertise.

With the team from Francesco Paszkowski Design behind the exterior and interior design, plus naval architecture by Baglietto, she is a superb example of the collaborative design and build approach. The champagne-coloured hull and bold shape give her a striking profile which is further enhanced by her high level of customisation. Her impressive performance capabilities give speeds of up to 33 knots from 3 MTU 12V2000 M97 engines and the 3-hydrojet propulsion system.

The layout has been designed to the specifications of the new owner and features a sizable main deck aft with steps leading down to the swim platform and other sociable areas on the bow and flybridge. The seamless flow between the outdoor and interior spaces is achieved with aft and side deck sliding doors into the main salon lounge and dining area.

The accommodation is all on the lower deck with the master cabin amidships, the VIP forward and two convertible suites between. The crew quarters are generous and located aft of the engine room with convenient direct access to the main deck.

There are two helm stations, one forward of the main salon and the other forward on the flybridge.

Baglietto specialises in the construction of new planing aluminium yachts ranging between 38 and 50 metres in length and steel & aluminium displacement mega-yachts above 40 metres. Baglietto’s CCO Fabio Ermetto commented, – “FRANCESCA II marks another important step in our long history and confirms our world leadership in the construction of highly performant aluminium yachts above 40 metres in length”.

As the ticker tape parade came to a close, luxury yacht FRANCESCA II slipped into the water before undergoing her final testing prior to being handed over to her owner.

Yacht builder Admiral first announced this 72m super yacht METAMORPHOSIS project, back in 2020 and now, with her world-renowned designer Georgio Armani present, details were unveiled by The Italian Sea Group.

At the launch the team described her design “large, sharp, geometric volumes that are perfectly balanced with curvier, softer shapes, for an ensemble that is majestic yet dynamic.”

Fashion and nautical design are blended with the addition of Georgio Armani interiors to create a timeless minimalism that retains a comfortable and welcoming atmosphere. This exciting project looks to set the benchmark for yacht design.

The designer commented “The sea and design are two of my greatest passions. With this new collaboration, I have extended my idea of furnishing and décor to the nautical world, in which – just as in fashion – aesthetics and functionality come together in a natural and elegant style”.

Luxury yacht METAMORPHOSIS is scheduled for launch in early 2024 and we are excited to keep you up to date on this unique project.
