Italian shipyard CRN will premiere its spectacular 62m/203ft luxury charter yacht RIO at the Monaco Yacht Show in Monte Carlo, running from the 28th of September to the 1st of October 2022.

M/Y RIO was one of the most anticipated launches of 2022 and was delivered to her Owner in May, in time for summer in the Western Mediterranean. Exterior styling and naval architecture come from Omega Architects in collaboration with the shipyard, while Pulina Exclusive Interiors handled the decor within. As well as the Owner, a few select groups have been able to experience her amenities and beautifully modern surroundings up close after she was available for charter.

Superyacht RIO is recognisable by her strong athletic appearance and a vertical bow, giving her a contemporary appearance, which is further enhanced by a layout designed for today’s Owners and charter clientele.

Across the four decks, there is a beach club wellness centre with Hammam and chromotherapy shower, a massage room, gym, a dedicated Owner’s deck and a bridge deck Jacuzzi to accompany the sunbeds and alfresco living options.

The accommodation sleeps a total of 12 guests across 6 en-suite cabins: 1 Owner’s suite, 2 full-beam VIP staterooms, 2 double cabins and 1 twin cabin. There is a crew of 15 to ensure guests have everything they require while at anchor or cruising at 12-15 knots.

CRN will also be debuting 52m/171ft motor yacht CIAO, also launched earlier in 2022.

This October, enjoy a 10% discount with 49m/169ft luxury motor sailer yacht ACAPELLA and cruise through the Croatia charter grounds at your leisure.

Extra Yachts, part of ISA Yachts, has announced a new motor catamaran range which will commence with the VILLA X30 luxury yacht.

The EXTRA VILLA series is the shipyard’s first foray into catamarans, and the model was designed with casual living and contact with the water in mind for the Owner and guests. As such, the 30.5m/100ft motor catamaran features panoramic views from the interior, plus an open plan multi-level layout with the stability and broad 13.7m/45ft beam that two hulls provide. Furthermore, a shallow draft of only 0.9m/3ft gives access to the world’s greatest beaches and anchorages that mono-hulled yachts of a similar length may not be able to reach.

The VILLA X30 will be powered by two Volvo Penta IPS 1350 engines that give a maximum speed of 17.5 knots and a cruising speed of 12.5 knots. Glass impregnated solar cells produce additional energy for hotel loads, and a hybrid propulsion system significantly reduces CO2 emissions.

Sustainable, reclaimed or natural materials have been used to furnish the living areas, which can be modified to suit the Owner’s requirements. Of note is the high/low platform on the main deck stern, capable of supporting a tender over 5m/16.4ft in length as well as a selection of water toys. Furthermore, the platform can be aligned with swim platforms to extend the beach area.

The standard layout has a library nook, bar and galley within the main salon, plus a raised wheelhouse and observatory.

The accommodation includes VIP staterooms that have direct access to the transom, and the Master suite has its own private lounge, a lower level his-and-hers bathroom and, an outdoor terrace placed between the two hulls.

The VILLA X30 luxury catamaran is sure to prove a success in shallow charter grounds such as the Bahamas, Seychelles and Maldives, while providing ample accommodation and amenities to those on board.

Dutch shipyard Heesen has announced the joining of the hull and superstructure for luxury yacht PROJECT JADE (Hull YN 20350) as of the 20th of August, 2022.

Concept renders show a tranquil beach club and other ample outdoor social areas for alfresco dining and lounging at ease. Both the main deck aft and foredeck have plenty of sunbeds, while the sundeck also has a Jacuzzi to please sun worshippers and serenity-seekers.

The engines have also been installed, and the two IMO III-compliant MTU 16V 4000 M65L engines grant a top speed of 23 knots. Coupled with the draft of just 2.15m/7ft, she is a desirable choice for Owners looking for speed, comfort and luxury while hopping between islands and discovering picturesque anchorages in shallow waters.

M/Y PROJECT JADE will accommodate 12 guests over 5 en-suite cabins, and will be available from Spring 2024.

The Adriatic is one of the most beautiful yacht charter locations in the world offering an abundance of secluded anchorages in crystal blue waters and plenty of historical and cultural areas to explore, with Italy to the West and Croatia and Montenegro to the East.

Clean lines, exceptional efficiency and, of course, luxury have characterised yachting and the charter experience since the industry’s inception – and nothing exemplifies this beautiful fusion more than the 150m/492ft mega yacht concept ONO from designer Aras Kazar.

Aluminium, fibreglass and tempered glass create the statement-making minimalist appearance of ONO. The razor-sharp silhouette has little to distinguish between the hull and the superstructure, except for a touch of gold at the bow that forms a sleek line to the stern.

Aras Kazar has spent over a decade as a freelance yacht designer, and his characteristic designs are more than just a visual delight: Amenities on board include a swimming pool, cinema, helipad and plenty of storage for water toys, while solar panels cover the roof for efficient energy usage on board.

While a view from the sides conceals the outdoor entertainment areas, looking up from the stern reveals a spacious swim platform and beach club for hosting gatherings beside the water. A large fold-down terrace amidships on both sides forms an indoor/outdoor entertaining space, further increasing the options for how guests spend their days.

The overnight accommodation is just as alluring, consisting of 3 Master suites and 5 further guest cabins. The crew complement will ensure that guests receive impeccable service wherever they cruise, with all details taken care of in the background.

Aras Kazar has two more upcoming superyacht designs equally futuristic in appearance yet both unique: The 48m/157ft carbon fibre NAVE NERA and the 42m/137ft wood-constructed MOTO, designed to reach an incredible top speed of 60 knots.

Nobiskrug has announced an extensive refit has been completed on a 124m/406.9ft Lürssen mega yacht – believed to be luxury yacht KATARA – at their facilities in Rendsburg, Germany.

During the works, extensive touch-ups were done to the interior and exterior, including:

New gym modification
Crew galley modifications and upgrades
Engines and generators fully refurbished
Propellers replaced and shafts realigned
Upgrades to bridge and navigation
HVAC overhaul, and
A full paint job

The luxury yacht has been delivered to her Owner for cruising in the Mediterranean charter grounds over the summer season.

Dutch shipyard Feadship has successfully launched the 118m/387ft luxury yacht PROJECT 1010 from its shipyard in Makkum, the Netherlands.

Espen Øino produced the exterior for the 4,999 GT mega yacht, which features a navy-blue hull contrasted by a white superstructure, while the interiors come from Francois Zuretti. Few details have yet been released on the available amenities or accommodation, however exterior images show a flush raised foredeck, several alfresco living areas for guests, a Jacuzzi/pool and a large sundeck aft that could be used as a helideck. The curving glass beneath the communications mast may be indicative of an enclosed observation deck.

M/Y PROJECT 1010 will now undergo sea trials before her delivery, which is expected in Q4 of 2022 or Q1 of 2023.

Previously, the 2018 launched luxury yacht ANNA was Feadship’s longest yacht at 110m/361ft. M/Y PROJECT 1010 is now the shipyard’s longest vessel but will soon be replaced by 118.8m/389.9ft PROJECT 821, due for delivery in 2024.

Built by renowned shipyard Codecasa, motor yacht BOJI has a traditional white hull and superstructure with a modern design that provides excellent stability and efficiency while cruising and at anchor. Among the outdoor areas, the Jacuzzi will be a favourite place to rest and relax with a cocktail after swimming and hiking to discover the amazing ruins, wrecks and wildlife the Eastern Mediterranean has to behold. Dine alfresco under the Lycian Rock Tombs along the Turquoise Coast in Turkey, or find a striking anchorage among the coloured beaches of the Cyclades in Greece and spend a lazy afternoon on the sunbeds.

The interiors from Design Studio Spadolini are elegant and have a classic appearance from the late 20th Century: White painted wall panels and ceiling emphasise the space and the light from the large windows, ceiling and wall sconces for comfortable spaces to unwind and entertain with cutting-edge technology at your fingertips.
