First Ferretti yacht of 2022 launched: motor yacht CLUB B
Italian shipyard Ferretti Yachts has launched its first vessel of the year from the Cattolica shipyard: the Ferretti Yachts 780 motor yacht CLUB B.
Built for a Maltese Owner, the Ferretti Yachts 780 CLUB B is the 36th hull of the popular model. She is a collaboration between the Strategic Product Committee led by Mr Piero Ferrari and the Ferretti Group Engineering Department with interior design by Ideaitalia.
The interiors are designed to evoke the traditional colours of Ischia and combine brushed oak with walnut and Carrara marble for a refined environment suited as much to special occasions as for everyday living.
The exterior is furnished with custom sofas designed by Roda exclusively for Ferretti Yachts for contemporary comfort and timeless style. Notable features include a fold-down sofa/sunbed on the aft swim platform, a broad sunbed on the foredeck and shaded alfresco dining and lounging spots on the main deck aft and flybridge.
The model uses twin MAN V8 1200 engines to achieve a top speed of 28 knots and a fast cruising speed of 24 knots.
The launch of the 36th Ferretti Yachts 780 CLUB B comes less than three weeks after a fire broke out aboard another luxury yacht under construction. The shipyard is back up and running, and anticipating the launch of their latest flagship, the Ferretti Yachts 1000 luxury yacht, in just a few days.
‘Go anywhere, do anything’ luxury expedition yacht NO DESTINATION launched
The 37.5m/123ft expedition yacht NO DESTINATION has completed a 30-month conversion and has now been launched from the shipyard Multiship Holland BV.
E/Y NO DESTINATION began life as a 2009-built Damen Crew Support Vessel before she was purchased by her current Owner in 2019 with the intent to explore across the world surrounded by personalised comforts.
This new appearance was created by Azure Yacht Design & Naval Architecture, and the changes made include a 4m/13ft extension from 33.5m/110ft, and the addition of a 5-tonne A-frame to the main deck aft to launch and retrieve the extensive collection of water toys that will be stored onboard. The foredeck is fitted with a Jacuzzi, while a shallow draft and cruising range of 3,500 nautical miles will allow luxury yacht NO DESTINATION to roam across charter grounds such as the Bahamas and Maldives.
E/Y NO DESTINATION will now undergo final outfitting ahead of her delivery in Spring 2022.

Karmarine launches 146-metre luxury semi-submersible explorer mega yacht ‘OK’
The luxury yachting world has a new and unusual addition after the 146m/479ft semi-submersible expedition mega yacht OK was successfully launched earlier this month.
Turkish shipyard Karmarine has spent the last three years converting the 1982-built transportation ship SUPER SERVANT 3, originally built by Japanese shipyard Oshima Shipbuilding, into a semi-submersible conversion designed with a tennis court on the 32m/105ft-beam main deck and capable of carrying a wealth of water toys and larger vehicles.
A car ramp allows vehicles to be driven straight on board, while motor and sailing vessels can manoeuvre on board from the water when the aft deck is semi-submerged. This is achieved by taking on ballast, which is later ejected to return the deck back above the waterline. Current plans for the 3,000m2/32291ft2 deck space include hosting a 46m/151ft sailing yacht and a seaplane, while the 40-tonne crane will launch and retrieve the tenders and water toys.
This exterior redesign concept was by Timur Bozca, who won Young Designer of the Year 2015 and was envisioned as a ‘floating island’ without losing the original lines altogether.
In addition to the massive main deck which can be used as a tennis court when cleared, M/Y OK has an alfresco cinema, botanical gardens, four aquariums and an indoor swimming pool surrounded on all sides by windows for spectacular views and an abundance of natural light.
There is also room on board to accommodate up to 20 guests overnight, plus a crew knowledgeable in onboard operations and trained in providing exceptional service to all guests who travel onboard.

Discover Eastern Mediterranean’s Turkey in a traditional way aboard a deluxe gulet yacht
The Eastern Mediterranean enchants holidaymakers from the world over every summer, and many choose the delights of Turkey and its Turquoise Coast for family adventures, honeymoons, birthday celebrations and more on a luxury yacht charter.
This historically and culturally rich region is also a visual delight thanks to the warm and clear blue Adriatic Sea, while the twisting, towering cliffs topped with pine forest make for aromatic coastal walks. The winding coast creates a plethora of bays, some of which have sandy beaches that can only be reached by water, providing you and your group with a private playground to sunbathe and snorkel without the crowds.
When you crave the entertainments of civilisation, places such as Bodrum will give you a true taste of modern Turkish life with flavourful cuisine and plenty of opportunities to pick up some unique souvenirs. Unwind with an authentic hammam spa treatment and dance late into the night.
A luxury yacht charter aboard a traditional Turkish gulet is an experience like no other, keeping all of the modern conveniences while the surroundings evoke a simpler time, placing your focus in the moment.
Example luxury gulets available for charter include the 2022-refitted PRENSES BUGCE, KAPTAN MEHMET BUGRA and QUEEN OF RTT. All offer spacious decks for hosting banquets and spending laid-back afternoons in peaceful anchorages for sunbathing and cocktails onboard. Spacious accommodation and a wide array of water toys ensure that guests are well-rested and able to venture above and below the water to see all the wonders this region has to offer.
The warm Eastern Mediterranean weather means that the spring and autumn seasons are also a fantastic time to visit for charter groups that like it warm but not too hot. Learn more about the Turkish Riviera and plan your summer escape while winter thaws.
