Superyacht Design · Venice

Nuvolari Lenard Unveils Project White Arrow, a 116-Meter Superyacht Designed for an Owner Still to Come

Developed with Moran Yacht & Ship, the concept arrives without a named shipyard and is presented as a starting point rather than a finished answer. At this size, that is a commercial strategy as much as a design statement.

The Italian Sea Group · Restructuring

The Italian Sea Group Draws Five Binding Offers, All for Its Assets and None for Its Shares

The second phase of the TISG sale process closed on October 19 with five binding bids, two of them for the whole business. The board now has until the end of October, when the restructuring plan is due in court, to choose one.

JFA Yachts · Long Island 87'

JFA Yachts Launches the Long Island 87′ Catamaran, and Denison Yachting Now Markets the Range

The 26.25-meter aluminum and composite cruiser is in the water with its mast stepped. Its buyer plans a family circumnavigation, and the broker who represented that buyer now markets the whole Long Island range.

ISA Yachts · Palumbo Superyachts

ISA Yachts Starts Outfitting on Its Second Classic 65m and Unica 45M Steel in Ancona

Two second units reach the same stage of construction at once. Neither is a premiere: both repeat designs the yard has built before, inside a group order book of 22 yachts.

Pearl Yachts · Pearl 100 Hybrid · FLIBS 2026

Pearl Yachts Completes Initial Sea Trials on the 30 Meter Pearl 100 Hybrid, Its Largest Yacht, Ahead of Fort Lauderdale 2026

The flagship has been on the water as a complete yacht for the first time. She is the largest Pearl to date and the first model in the fleet with hybrid propulsion.

Genoa International Boat Show · 66th Edition

The 66th Genoa International Boat Show Opens October 1 With Over 1,000 Boats, Bigger Yachts and a Free Blue Arena

The headline figure is not the thousand boats. It is 14.1 percent, the growth in average size of the largest units on display, and it is the clearest return yet on the show's move back to October.

Denison Yachting · OceanWorld Group

Denison Yachting Names Patrick Coote President After OceanWorld Group Becomes Majority Shareholder

The Fort Lauderdale company hands a superyacht executive with more than 25 years of senior experience the job of leading its growth in the United States, Europe and the GCC, through organic investment and a targeted acquisition program.

Galeon Yachts · FLIBS

Galeon 570 SKY Makes Its World Debut at FLIBS, and Unfolds to 22 Feet 6 Inches Wide

The new sports yacht premieres at the Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show, featuring fold-down balconies that widen its usable beam. Galeon is holding most of the detail for the show itself.

Saxdor Yachts · Simrad AutoCaptain · Genoa 2026

Saxdor Becomes the First Builder Outside the United States to Integrate Simrad AutoCaptain, Presented at the Genoa Boat Show 2026

The autonomous docking system is built into the boat rather than added to it, and it reads the marina live through a 360 degree camera network instead of working from a stored map.

Azimut · Seadeck 7 · Genoa Boat Show 2026

The Azimut Seadeck 7 Carries the World’s First Volvo Penta IPS Hybrid Installation at the Genoa Boat Show 2026

Four operating modes, fully electric cruising up to 11 knots and a Hotel Mode that runs the whole boat on batteries for up to 12 hours. The word to notice in the announcement is industrialized.

Oceanco · Draak · FLIBS 2026

Oceanco Brings the Rebuilt 92.9 Meter Draak to FLIBS 2026, With the First Decompression Chamber Fitted to an Oceanco Yacht

The helideck went so the tenders could come. The beach club and spa went so the dive center could come. On a rebuild nothing is added: everything is traded.

Lürssen · NIXIE · Monaco Yacht Show 2026

Lürssen Delivers the 102.4 Meter NIXIE, Designed by RWD, Its Sixth Delivery of a Record 2026

The yacht formerly known as Project JASSJ left on her maiden voyage in June and went straight onto the charter market. The number that matters to the industry is not her length. It is the six.
