Pure originality. A gift collection for the individual who has it all and values distinction above all else.

Azimut · Grande 44M

Azimut Launches the Grande 44M With Seven Hulls Already Sold

Carbon fiber over half the vessel, a Hull Vane foil at the stern and a four deck architecture. The engineering exists to serve one commercial idea: give the owner an entire deck.

Benetti · Class 44M "Lumina"

Benetti Launches Lumina and Puts €100 Million Behind Tuscany

The slipway ceremony is the photograph. The investment plan is the news: Azimut|Benetti doubled its production value in five years and is reinvesting into the district that produces 70 percent of it.

IYC · Monaco Yacht Show

Monaco Yacht Show

Monaco Opens Its 2026 Exhibitor List

The 35th edition returns to Port Hercule from September 23 to 26. The list is live, it will keep growing through the summer, and it is the first working map the industry has for September.

Pioneer Yachts · PY60

Pioneer Yachts Puts Its First Solar Electric PY60 in the Water

A two year old German yard launches an 18 meter catamaran built around solar electric propulsion from the keel up, and its founder is keeping hull one to run it himself.

Sirena Yachts · 118

Sirena Launches Its 36 Meter Flagship, and Keeps It Under 300 GT

The Turkish yard moves up a segment with naval architecture by Germán Frers. The tonnage figure, not the length, is the strategic decision.

D-Marin · Marina di Olbia

D-Marin Buys Marina di Olbia and Closes Its Mediterranean Triangle

The acquisition adds 270 berths and a 200 meter fuel quay in Sardinia. It also completes a chain of marinas from the Côte d'Azur to the Costa Smeralda under one operator.

Heesen Yachts · Appointment

Heesen Puts Project Management and After Sales Under One Director

Eric Boers arrives from wind energy to run a newly created role. The structure is the news: the yard is treating the build and the yacht's operating life as one continuous file.

Pershing · Ferretti Group

Pershing Launches the First GTX90

The Sport Utility Yacht range moves into the 90 to 100 foot segment, and Pershing has chosen an unusual metric to compete on: square meters of deck.

Numarine · 27XP

Numarine Arrives at Cannes With Five 27XP Hulls Already Sold

The explorer takes its world premiere with the order book open, hull one delivered, and a 48 volt hybrid architecture that is the real news underneath the launch.

Van der Valk Shipyard · Appointment

Van der Valk Names Evan Kortmann CEO as the Transition Closes

Enrico Theuns was hired to carry the Dutch yard through the founder's retirement. Three years later, the assignment is finished and the handover is deliberate, not reactive.

Sunreef Yachts · ULTIMA 88

Sunreef Takes the ULTIMA 88 to Cannes

The catamaran gets its first public showing at the Cannes Yachting Festival, after a closed-door virtual preview in Singapore and an owner announcement the yard was in no hurry to keep quiet.
