The first superyacht in the series was delivered in 2024 and established the architectural language of the 50Steel line. In this latest unit, the platform reaches a new milestone as it becomes the first to incorporate a green methanol reformer fuel cell system, developed with Siemens Energy - the first application of this technology on a superyacht, designed with a precise mission: by reforming green methanol into hydrogen, which is then converted into electrical energy, the system allows the yacht to power all hotel functions without running the main engines or diesel generators.The system can produce up to one hundred kilowatts and can cover roughly ninety percent of a yacht’s typical operational profile at anchor with zero emissions. This places the yacht ahead of the regulatory curve at a time when the International Maritime Organization is preparing to enforce a twenty percent emissions reduction by 2030. The role of green methanol in practical yacht operation The

ONEXP’s aftersales and service operation has grown alongside the company’s expanding footprint on board the world’s largest yachts, including 11 of the top 50 largest yachts in the world. Speaking with Leon Osseweijer, Head of Aftersales and Services, it is clear the team’s ethos remains simple yet exacting: be present, be proactive, and take ownership until the job is done.A fleet built on trust ONEXP now supports more than thirty-five vessels, including several recent deliveries that the company did not integrate at build. “Client trust is everything at ONEXP,” says Leon. “Challenges do happen in yachting. We don’t talk a problem away, we take care of it. If that means putting an engineer on a plane, we do it right away.”  That sense of trust is echoed by clients across the fleet. “ONEXP is the best team I have worked with in the industry,” says Simon Hodkinson, CTO of a 100m-plus superyacht. “Their standards, passion,

In a world where superyachts increasingly double as sanctuaries for adventure, Delta Marine’s Project Discovery stands out as a vessel that redefines what it means to explore in style. Currently in build at the Seattle shipyard and due for delivery in 2027, the 47.55-metre motor yacht is the result of a close collaboration between Delta Marine, designer Dasha Moranova Designs and Edmiston – a partnership that seamlessly bridges American craftsmanship and European sensibility. A meeting of minds Amsterdam-based designer Dasha Moranova Designs recalls her first encounter with Delta Marine during the Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show 2024 as a moment of instant chemistry. “We clicked immediately,” she explains. “Delta is such a traditional, family-run shipyard with a strong heritage and incredible attention to detail. Working with them has been a beautiful experience – they’re open, meticulous, and genuinely passionate.”With a beam of 8.69-metres, a draft of 2.3-metres and a volume of 499 GT, Project

The 68.85-metre sailing yacht Zero is nearing completion at Vitters Shipyard, representing one of the most ambitious and forward-thinking sustainability projects ever undertaken in yacht building. Developed in collaboration with the open-source platform Foundationº (Foundation Zero) – a renewables-focused non-profit organisation – and realised by Vitters Shipyard, Zero is a proof-of-concept project designed to demonstrate what is possible in truly emission-free yachting. The yacht’s journey reflects a wider mission: to inspire, share knowledge, and ignite a shift in mindset across the maritime industry.A shared vision for progress Eduard van Benthem, Project Manager for Zero and Executive Director at Foundationº, describes the project as a tangible manifestation of the foundation’s mission: “Inspire, create and share knowledge to drive sustainable, innovative solutions.” He explains, “While the foundation focuses on creating and sharing knowledge, Zero serves as a concrete example of how this knowledge can be applied in practice.” The collaboration with Vitters, alongside Dykstra Naval Architects and
