The <a href="https://www.change.org/p/make-criminal-background-checks-a-legal-requirement-to-apply-to-seafarers-internationally" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="">petition</a> has quickly gained traction, with many crew, welfare advocates and safety professionals voicing support.&nbsp;“It’s about creating long-term, systemic change,” explained Frost. “We have background checks in place for so many other safety-critical professions, so there’s no reason why yachting should be exempt.” At the time of publication, the <a href="https://www.change.org/p/make-criminal-background-checks-a-legal-requirement-to-apply-to-seafarers-internationally" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="">petition</a> stands at nearly 5,000 verified signatures. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/301013/image/large-91a68b857ce4af77efb70b69288901de.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/301013">In light of recent events, Frost has placed all <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/8293" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Crewfolio (Company)">CREWFOLIO</a> recruitment activities on hold temporarily, announcing a new internal policy: from now on, all successful crew placements will undergo a certified global background check, funded directly by the agency.“We’re committed to doing this properly,” Frost said. “If I’m calling for reform, I need to demonstrate what that looks like in practice.” She is also advocating for these checks to eventually become part of the Maritime Labour Convention (MLC), akin to the requirement for STCW certification or the ENG1 medical certificate. “This shouldn’t just be a nice-to-have. It should be a global requirement.”While international frameworks such as the IMO’s STCW Convention and the ILO’s Maritime Labour Convention (MLC) establish minimum standards for seafarer training and working conditions, neither currently mandates criminal background screening.In the United States, the Coast Guard requires that seafarers undergo a criminal background check as part of the process of obtaining a Merchant Mariner Credential (MMC). However, this requirement applies only to individuals seeking a credential and does not apply to all seafarers working on vessels in U.S. waters.The <a href="https://www.change.org/p/make-criminal-background-checks-a-legal-requirement-to-apply-to-seafarers-internationally" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="">petition</a> by Frost urges industry regulators and stakeholders to implement standardised, ongoing background checks to enhance safety, protect crew and passengers and uphold the maritime sector’s reputation.Across the fragmented, privately managed superyacht fleet, standards vary widely. While many major brokerage houses and crew agencies conduct their own vetting procedures, there is no universal protocol in place.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/301015/image/large-fc3bb6cf80b7d7f220a53f4271ddba53.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/301015">The past year has seen a rise in discussions for greater transparency and accountability within yachting, particularly in light of reports around harassment, abuse and mental health challenges among crew. Crew members have increasingly spoken out about harassment, inappropriate conduct and a lack of reporting pathways onboard. While organisations such as ISWAN and Safer Waves offer confidential support, access remains inconsistent.“There is so much more we could be doing to protect vulnerable crew,” said Frost. “The more we talk about this and take action, the better the industry becomes for everyone.”As investigations into the death of Paige Bell continue, many in the yachting sector are taking time to reflect on what more can be done to ensure crew safety, enforce standards, and uphold the values of professionalism and care at sea. While it remains to be seen whether the incident will result in concrete policy changes, there is a growing sense that maintaining the status quo may no longer be an option.At the time of writing, the <a href="https://www.gofundme.com/f/honoring-paige-bell-support-her-family?attribution_id=sl:fb58d4c0-5718-435b-b42e-60d1d4c6c3c9&lang=en_US&ts=1751782973&v=amp14_t2" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="">GoFundMe</a> campaign established in Paige Bell’s memory has raised more than $50,000, with messages of support from across the yachting community.&nbsp;SuperYacht Times will continue to report as the investigation unfolds and as the industry explores pathways to improving safety, accountability and welfare for all crew.

Onboard the 53m Alia Yachts superyacht Limerence

<a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/358" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Azimut Yachts (Company)">Azimut Yachts</a> has unveiled the latest evolution of its flagship with the new 38.22-metre Grande Trideck yacht. Set to make her debut at the <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Event/269" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Cannes Yachting Festival - 2025">Cannes Yachting Festival</a> in September, she introduces a fresh interior concept designed by Milan-based studio <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/5407" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="m2atelier (Company)">m2atelier</a> and exterior design by <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/3025" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Alberto Mancini Yacht Design (Company)">Alberto Mancini Yacht Design</a>. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/365575/image/large-817df5aa1ed8b4ad82ba5b3d705c9239.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/365575">As part of a broader strategy that emphasises constant evolutionary research, &nbsp;the new Trideck reflects a shift toward refined informality and tailored design, setting a new tone for the future of the range. The design philosophy behind the new Grande Trideck is rooted in what <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/358" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Azimut Yachts (Company)">Azimut</a> and m2atelier describe as “barefoot luxury.” <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/365589/image/large-ebb0edce9836adfe7248c59eeea33b03.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/365589">This approach, which is said to be the opposite of opulence, instead aims to emphasise simplicity, tactile elegance and a sense of relaxed sophistication. “We like to insist on informal living onboard,” said Marijana Radovic, co-founder of <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/5407" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="m2atelier (Company)">m2atelier</a>. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/365578/image/large-f6a705a8bcaed730b78ecb3dd17e8185.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/365578">“We’re going for the opposite side of opulence, we instead want to create a relaxing atmosphere. Everything is modern, clean and calibrated into just a few materials. We don’t shout; we whisper.”<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/365579/image/large-913584e5bc4b8e3323f33027f9823ab9.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/365579">This minimalist palette allows the richness of the materials to come forward, with the emphasis placed on texture, softness and an architectural layering of space and light. The interior reveals its charm gradually, with Radovic adding, “Every time you spend a day onboard, you will discover something new. We hope owners will keep finding these small, thoughtful details as they live with the yacht.”<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/365588/image/large-dc2a0c4fe0bf556902e8e59092295813.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/365588">According to Federico Lantero, <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/358" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Azimut Yachts (Company)">Azimut</a>’s Head of Product Design, the collaboration with m2atelier marks a new chapter in the yard’s pursuit of design innovation. “At <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/358" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Azimut Yachts (Company)">Azimut</a>, one of our guiding principles is what we call the ‘never-ending challenge’, the constant commitment to renewing our offer to the market,” he explained. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/365581/image/large-b088f8cb21993cfc122e951a9e6e6f85.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/365581">“We decided more than three years ago to seek out new partners to help us redefine the interior identity of the Grande line. This is not just an aesthetic refresh, it is a comprehensive design philosophy.”<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/365582/image/large-605e8093edad9f72f4fbead5c2a6c7d1.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/365582"><a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/358" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Azimut Yachts (Company)">Azimut</a>’s ‘integral design’ approach allows design partners like m2atelier full responsibility over the spatial architecture, furniture and material choices, right down to the precise height of a headrest. “This allows for complete coherence,” said Lantero. “It’s about achieving the utmost level of sophistication and functionality.”<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/365583/image/large-cf7d2f8ec9479232cafd30753e881b70.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/365583">Among the standout features of the new Grande Trideck is her redesigned main saloon. Here, a pleated Alcantara curtain, reminiscent of stage drapery, elegantly unveils a TV screen, offering either intimacy or openness depending on the mood onboard. “We call it a revealing wall,” said Radovic. “It’s crafted from two different materials and casts beautiful shadows throughout the day. When closed, it’s a feature wall when open, it reveals a hidden TV. It’s both art and function.”<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/365580/image/large-0f6397cb16646e75cd395fdfd6172af8.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/365580">The design of the master suite also departs from convention, offering layered partitions and a layout that encourages spatial flow without the need to open or close doors. “You can see through the yacht from the main saloon to the owner’s suite and even outside the window,” explained Radovic. “It feels open, yet private.”<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/365585/image/large-7517005640dcea738446b4299119401d.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/365585">Lighting plays an essential role in defining the mood. Rather than being an afterthought, it is integrated into the architecture itself. “The lighting was born with the space,” said Radovic. “It’s part of the form, not an addition to it.”<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/365577/image/large-5a897f9e7f4f1d6d4594c02515ffe096.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/365577">A highlight of the exterior redesign is the skylounge, which features a convertible dining area. As Lantero noted, “Depending on the moment of the day, it can be a media room, a formal dining area or a lounge that opens up to the upper deck. The table itself transforms from a coffee table to a full dining table for up to 12 people. It’s a true response to how clients now prefer to live onboard.”<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/365584/image/large-52d9093609e1c58379c98035f1078b71.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/365584">The Trideck’s foredeck now features a recessed pool with an integrated chaise longue and an arched rotating sunpad backrest, demonstrating <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/358" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Azimut Yachts (Company)">Azimut</a>’s continued focus on liveable, multi-functional outdoor spaces.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/365586/image/large-89872d90ee9a2113558bbae21b4373bc.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/365586">The new Trideck is one of three models, alongside the Grande 30M and Grande 36M that m2atelier was tasked with redesigning in parallel. The challenge was to create a recognisable signature across very different sizes and layouts. The brand-new Grande 30M model will be launched in Cannes, with concept and exterior design by <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/3025" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Alberto Mancini Yacht Design (Company)">Alberto Mancini</a> and interior design by <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/5407" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="m2atelier (Company)">m2atelier</a>. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/365587/image/large-192503ac9252bd98f067dc7d6de49261.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/365587">“Each model had to have its own character, but with a clear family resemblance,” said Marco Bonelli, co-founder of <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/5407" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="m2atelier (Company)">m2atelier</a>. “We worked with clean architectural blocks, subtle curves, and precise lines. Even the diagonal lines of the furniture serve to cocoon the user, they create intimacy without traditional curvature.”<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/365571/image/large-91eca349646ae8fa49670259c9ac4a03.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/365571">Staircases on the Grande 30M and 36M were also completely reimagined, placed precisely above each other to create a striking architectural feature that offers perspective and vertical clarity. “It’s all about enhancing the perception of space,” said Bonelli. “The result feels simple and natural, but achieving that simplicity took a huge amount of design effort.”<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/365576/image/large-38b8c15c9eb1c2b3840c11291a14c7d1.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/365576">Although the first m2atelier-designed Grande Trideck is only just being delivered, market response has already been strong. “We’ve sold seven units before anyone has even stepped onboard,” confirmed Lantero. “And the Grande 30M has already reached eight pre-sales. This shows the appeal is not limited to one region, we’ve seen interest from China, Japan, the USA and beyond.”The Grande Trideck will make its public debut at the <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Event/269" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Cannes Yachting Festival - 2025">Cannes Yachting Festival</a> this September, alongside the new Grande 30M and 36M.
