News in Brief

Lloyd Werft Bremerhaven, which is part of the MV Werften Group, handed over the 140m long Solaris on 27 May 2021. The handover marked the successful completion of this extra-ordinary project, which has been realised over several years of planning and building. The fnal phase of the project began with the foating out of the yacht at the shipyard at the end of February. This was followed by sea-trials in the North Sea and interior ftting out work, all of which has now been concluded. “We are very proud that we have mastered this challenge”, says Lloyd Werft Projects and Sales Director Friedrich Norden. “In many respects Solaris is a masterpiece. A number of very individual demands, some of them never experienced before in yacht building, have been incorporated into this project.”

PHI Phantom, part of the Phi Project, features striking in-house design, exterior styling by Cor D. Rover, and naval architecture by Van Oossanen. This support ship is built to cross oceans carrying the tenders and toys for which the mothership has no garage to stow. PHI Phantom is now undergoing fnal sea-trials and will be delivered to the owner in June. A sleek and muscular new predator has been taken to the seas with the launch of a 36m custom support vessel by Alia Yachts. Earlier this month, the Turkish yard painstakingly drove the fully aluminium yacht out of the building halls and lifted it into the water in Antalya using a 200t travel lift. PHI Phantom, part of the PHI Project, is a fne example of the yard’s metalworking skills, and features a striking in-house interior design. Destined to support the custom superyacht PHI by Royal Huisman, PHI Phantom refects many elements of the larger yacht’s design.

Benetti is proud to announce the launch of M/Y Zazou, a 65m full custom yacht with sleek and sinuous lines. The steel hull was painted at the request of the owner, a frequent Benetti customer, in an elegant Carinthia blue colour; and the superstructure is made with aluminium. The external lines are by Giorgio M. Cassetta and the interiors, as well as some of the external spaces, are by Dutch studio Sinot Yacht Architecture & Design. The yacht, which accommodates twelve people in six double cabins, has one of the largest sun decks in its category with a gym, a 5m long swimming pool, and an outdoor cinema on top of another cinema area on the main deck. Two Caterpillar 3512C engines allow the yacht to navigate autonomously for 8,000km at a cruising speed of 15 knots.

The new fagship of the Azimut Yachts Grande collection and the new Flexplorer from Cantiere delle Marche are equipped with the Argo system to improve comfort, safety, and fuel effciency while under way. CMC Marine’s route control system Argo has conquered two new yachts: it was recently installed aboard the 40m Flexplorer Aurelia of Cantiere delle Marche and aboard the new Grande Trideck of Azimut Yachts. The Pisan company’s new system, drawing from years of experience onboard yachts and superyachts, was designed to integrate the active surfaces on the boat; the aim is to coordinate the fns and rudders to ensure optimal course stability and, consequently, considerable fuel savings. Since the development of the two innovative stabilising fn series, the Argo solution to make them communicate and work in harmony was the natural next step.

The Feadship yard in Makkum has launched 95m Bliss. Subject of enormous owner involvement and the epitome of the custom build experience, this timeless family yacht benefts from the very latest hybrid propulsion and, with Polar Code certifcation, is set to be a world traveller. Bliss is a displacement superyacht with a steel hull and aluminium superstructure and showcases a modern classic exterior styling developed by the owner and Studio De Voogt. The yacht has a clean and highly symmetrical design with her tenders and a large feet of toys neatly concealed so as not to intrude upon her meticulously chosen lines. The owner’s involvement has been paramount to the success of both the exterior and interior design, with incredible attention to detail and a fantastic cooperation between designer Jan Schaffers of Studio De Voogt for the exterior design and Rémi Tessier for the elegant interior style. The result is an iconic design that feels natural and welcoming, inside and out.

The reft of M/Y Oasis, the 60m steel and aluminium superyacht built by German shipyard Lürssen Yachts in 2006, has just been completed at the Lusben shipyard in Livorno. The superyacht, completely repainted and returned to its owner ahead of schedule, is now ready for the summer season. Lusben has been working on M/Y Oasis since October 2020. To the great satisfaction of all parties involved, the reft concluded at the end of April 2021, eight days ahead of schedule. The reft operations involved the renewing of the class and, most intensively, the total repainting of the entire yacht. The latter activity, which called for precise and accurate planning, concerned a total area of about 2,300m². Lusben fnished the work eight days early, thanks to the shipyard’s specialised workforce overcoming the limitations imposed by anti-COVID regulations.

Following in the wake of the award-winning frst unit in the OTAM Aluminium Custom Range 35m Gipsy designed by Tommaso Spadolini, the Ligurian shipyard now presents another fully engineered 35m proposal. However, the only thing the two projects have in common is their overall length, as this new design will be one the fastest alloy yachts on the water, capable of reaching 44 knots. The exterior lines by BG Design Firm, the same studio behind the new OTAM 70 HT, are inspired by the aeronautical and automotive worlds to refect the brand’s racy DNA. Design details include the chromed ventilation vents in the transom and the air inlet on top of the hardtop. The deep-V hull has been developed by Umberto Tagliavini Marine Design to provide excellent seakeeping, comfortable entry into waves, and high speeds.

Tankoa Yachts is pleased to announce the sale of the new T580 yacht. This is the frst 58m model, a fantastic addition to the Italian shipyard’s feet. The hull will be built in steel with aluminium superstructures, the exterior design is by Francesco Paszkowski, while the interiors are by Francesco Paszkowski in collaboration with Margherita Casprini. This sale, conducted and completed in collaboration with Giancarlo Mussino, Managing Director of Sinos, who introduced the client and will represent them during construction, once again confrms the ability of the Genoa-based shipyard to develop fully customisable projects. From the frst previews, the Tankoa T580 will be a worldwide explorer with a sporty profle, able to cover long cruises thanks to a range of more than 5,000nm.

Videoworks, the leader company in audio/visual, entertainment, IT, and lighting & comfort, confrms its ability to innovate by unveiling its new Lighting Engineering system, which is revolutionising the design of yachting lighting solutions. Engineer Leo Megna, Head of Lighting and Comfort Projects at Videoworks, explains, “A new design method has been developed specifcally for lighting technology, a new software created ad hoc, in collaboration with Eon Reality, which allows us to offer a highly innovative tool for the integration and control of lighting points inside the yacht with the fundamental support of virtual reality. Together with the architect and the shipyard, the different lighting scenarios are hereby optimised and subsequently proposed to the owner, who will have an incredibly realistic view of the various rooms thanks to a 3D viewer. This will allow for all the details to be worked out before they are actually built.”
