<a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/2220" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Hill Robinson (Company)">Hill Robinson</a> and <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/1218" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Dölker + Voges GmbH (Company)">Dölker + Voges Design</a> have shared the details of their latest concept: the 60-metre Perfect Charter Yacht. The cutting edge concept is developed to optimise charter revenue by including the most highly requested amenities of yachts with success in the charter market. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/331126/image/large-a51c0e19c02d22ca58653928e29c19ad.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/331126">Head of Charter Management at <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/2220" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Hill Robinson (Company)">Hill Robinson</a> Nicolas Fry seized the opportunity to craft a design that places charter at the forefront, which can cover both running costs and generate revenue for the owner. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/331125/image/large-0f860304f48f1ee407673d1fc30e1020.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/331125">“We gathered precious insight from brokers, Captains, and clients about their perception of the perfect charter yacht and composed an extensive brief for <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/1218" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Dölker + Voges GmbH (Company)">Dölker + Voges</a> that enabled Isabella Knappe to create a beautiful design centred on charter,” Fry explained. “Building the Perfect Charter Yacht with the right shipyard will drive the clients who are interested in renting it, the price competitiveness, and maintenance costs.” <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/331127/image/large-3695885ec0fd3d2bfb618241059cb781.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/331127">One example of a charter-oriented feature onboard the yacht is the flexible cabin arrangement. The Perfect Charter Yacht’s six staterooms can be joined in pairs to form three spacious VIP suites, complete with lounge areas. Moreover, sliding doors either divide or unite the suites, making the spaces ideal for families chartering with children in adjacent staterooms.&nbsp;Outside, the vessel’s multi-level aft terraces allow guests to take in the scenery, while a swimming pool, sun loungers, and alfresco dining area allow for outdoor activities. The Perfect Charter Yacht also offers an entertainment lounge decked out with games and a large-screen television, as well as an extensive sundeck containing a barbecue and more lounge seating. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/331130/image/large-9cb856f7b42b0f59bfeea2d7ab3641f0.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/331130">At her stern, the yacht houses a beach club with fold-down terraces over the water, alongside direct access to a wellness suite with a sauna and gym. Additionally, a range of tenders and water toys can be stored onboard.Furthermore, the crew quarters and movement of the crew around the yacht was also taken into consideration for this design, in order to promise excellent hospitality for superyacht charter. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/331129/image/large-d9472343701a128061a674d56afdaf36.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/331129">The Perfect Charter Yacht&nbsp;could be marketed at high season rates of €600,000 per week in the Mediterranean during summer, and in the Caribbean during winter at $650,000 per week.“We would expect the Perfect Charter Yacht to book at least five weeks at her high season summer rate and a further three weeks at low season pricing. During winter, two weeks at the high season rate and two weeks at the slightly lower rate would be easily achievable. This represents a net chart income for the Perfect Charter Yacht of €5,359,832,” Fry added. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/331128/image/large-457248e01c6a416aab57dca331fb5a57.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/331128">Robert Voges, Founder and Managing Director of <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/1218" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Dölker + Voges GmbH (Company)">Dölker + Voges</a> concluded, “We were pleased to accept the invitation from <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/2220" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Hill Robinson (Company)">Hill Robinson</a> to design this yacht, as it offered an exciting challenge to integrate numerous functionalities into one vessel while appealing to a broad audience.

For these clients, impeccable quality and technical excellence is a baseline. Beyond this, they are excited by exclusive designs that evoke emotion and artistry, departing from the generic aesthetics of the past," says designer <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/283" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Luiz de Basto Designs (Company)">Luiz de Basto</a> of the concept. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/330341/image/large-4eeec3d6580feb2dd482ca4b85d4a849.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/330341">Volare, which has a name meaning "to fly" in Italian, measures 87-metres in length but includes the option to be reconfigured to an 88-metre length, and can have one of her decks removed.&nbsp;True to her name, Volare's&nbsp;design draws inspiration from the notion of flying. From an outside perspective, Volare's&nbsp;exterior silhouette is composed of dark and light glass, with glass wind protection shielding those onboard from the natural elements. An alternative exterior profile option displays a dark blue hull colour for Volare&nbsp;instead. &nbsp;<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/330338/image/large-08259b1c58d99643453868ed0101279e.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/330338">The Simply Custom Collection was first announced at the <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Event/183" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show - 2023">Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show 2023</a> and has been engineered to provide designers with a canvas to help create a bespoke <a href="https://www.superyachttimes.com/companies/oceanco" target="_blank">Oceanco</a> yacht.

The design studio <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/1181" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Hydro Tec (Company)">Hydro Tec</a> has released the details of their 80-metre superyacht concept, Valiant, at the <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Event/224" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Monaco Yacht Show - 2024">Monaco Yacht Show</a> 2024. The vessel is characterised by her Japandi-style interiors, as well as her blend of "technical innovation with timeless beauty", according to the studio. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/330252/image/large-d87bf9258997485d328d5aa5a7b84c6f.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/330252">Valiant&nbsp;is christened after the iconic British Navy ship, paying tribute to nautical tradition while paving the way for modernity. With spatial connectivity at the core of her design, Valiant's&nbsp;expansive interiors are developed to flow into one another, even as they maintain a sense of privacy. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/330251/image/large-544f84801cd222cfe60d68782dc3b7c7.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/330251"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/330254/image/large-f5227d04fd423af74109f266a5106d85.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/330254">Described as a fusion of "Japanese minimalism and Scandinavian warmth", the indoor living areas exude a Zen-like state through subtly integrated luxury materials and open transitions between rooms.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/330284/image/large-a1f2fea598e52cc87ec6217df1609279.png" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/330284">One of Valiant's&nbsp;highlights is her beach club that leads to guest areas along with other decks. Created for comfort regardless of weather conditions, the beach club is where the exterior and interior merges, as guests are invited to swim in the infinity pool with both internal and external areas. The beach club also boasts a spa that is placed over the water for guests to admire the outdoor views within a calming, private sanctuary. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/330286/image/large-92b8683513edc3fee8692abb91966737.png" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/330286">Another space optimised for outside views is the forward-facing owner's suite, complete with an exterior Jacuzzi and dedicated outdoor area, so that owners can enjoy a panorama of vistas. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/330300/image/large-d0e180f1992a4b3e2fb30ef585458194.png" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/330300"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/330297/image/large-1b23b8ca259c58b9bdc7e0e318b45656.png" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/330297">Valiant's&nbsp;dining table, situated laterally, is accompanied by an open kitchen and curved glass windows for further synthesis with the seascape, as well as an abundance of natural light. Moreover, the dining area benefits from a connected balcony to amplify the alfresco dining experience. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/330296/image/large-75a77aad25cbc1602cddf69ce0862b02.png" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/330296"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/330291/image/large-edfddd9583237fa063bc5f179d725cbb.png" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/330291">Moving to the superyacht's main saloon, the social hub lends itself to convivial gatherings or independent relaxation, providing direct access to the lower deck. As <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/1181" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Hydro Tec (Company)">Hydro Tec</a> states, "the salon's expansive design fosters a sense of openness while maintaining an intimate, luxurious atmosphere for guests to enjoy during their time aboard."<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/330295/image/large-2dcedb2d5fb465cc07540981d7754180.png" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/330295"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/330285/image/large-17e4b7e6d6fced1f6b510d71167216de.png" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/330285">Valiant&nbsp;is also decked out in a number of tenders and toys, so that guests can participate in water-based activities, without interfering with the aesthetic of the yacht's silhouette. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/330255/image/large-d24263e5748e3ead15daff2cc2c1aaef.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/330255"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/330256/image/large-3aedd76429ce208aefa4340e387f3723.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/330256">Another key feature onboard Valiant&nbsp;is her staircase fitted with eye-catching crystal and gold detailing, which plays with the light, serving as a visual connection between the superyacht's different living spaces. In addition, the raised wheelhouse not only enhances operational efficiency, but also contributes to the overall style of Valiant.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/330292/image/large-f0dce436a9e3fe6ab829e22e4c6121b7.png" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/330292"> <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/330253/image/large-6d55ed76b4c359816506f73e8b0a8b1e.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/330253">

The studio <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/4676" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Adeo Yacht Design (Company)">ADEO Yacht Design</a> has unveiled the details of their new 52-metre superyacht concept Ligeia, which is inspired by “nature’s fluidity and seamless harmony with the environment”, according to the designer.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/329733/image/large-ee9034f4341f7b69a0439b9be7d23a1d.png" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/329733">From the outside, Ligeia’s sleek and elongated lines mimic the gracefulness of sea waves, while encapsulating their dynamic movement even when still. Despite being described as “low-profile”, the exterior silhouette also makes an impression through bold yet harmonious curves that synthesise with one another to “mirror the organic flow of natural elements”, <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/4676" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Adeo Yacht Design (Company)">ADEO Yacht Design</a> says. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/329740/image/large-26ee5a7c30bdf0e514a880d77f1066dd.png" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/329740">Overall, Ligeia places the interrelationship between form, function, and the natural elements at the forefront of her design, resulting in a creation that feels integrated with the ocean. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/329735/image/large-34b0f589455453f3acc1fce873a89f14.png" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/329735">Moreover, the vessel’s deck configurations ensure uninterrupted sightlines, as well as a panoramic connection to the surrounding maritime environment, so that the seascape never feels far for those onboard. At a volume of approximately 600 GT, the superyacht can accommodate as many as 12 guests across her six stateroom layout.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/329738/image/large-54fd42dd560fd8c1ca4bca64def2267e.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/329738">Ligeia’s aft section is home to a spacious swim platform and tender garage, which resemble a private beach or resort, providing “a direct extension of the yacht into the sea”, as <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/4676" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Adeo Yacht Design (Company)">ADEO Yacht Design</a> explains. Meanwhile, the sundeck’s pool and lounge areas function as a peaceful relaxation space without interfering with the minimalist approach to Ligeria’s design. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/329736/image/large-f62651c9d62117babc9d650b41e332d9.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/329736">The sundeck’s pool is also unique in that it offers boundless panoramic vision of the scenery, alongside seating and lounging areas, so that guests can enjoy the sun setting in the horizon. On Ligeia’s foredeck, guests are invited to recline in an elevated bow lounge, consisting of secluded seating and more unobstructed views. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/329734/image/large-85b3a632ff913d07bb61aa0ec521e925.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/329734">“From open lounging spaces to entertainment zones, the design encourages a harmonious interaction with the sea, enhancing guest experiences with multifunctional areas that adapt intuitively to a wide range of social or leisure pursuits. This seamless integration of open spaces sets&nbsp;Ligeia apart from traditional designs, where rigid separation often limits potential uses. On Ligeia, every deck invites limitless possibilities for entertainment and personal retreat, all while maintaining a visually cohesive aesthetic,” the designer concludes. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/329737/image/large-114b71a8d843529b1c7b03abc3a7c8ad.png" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/329737">Where her performance is concerned, Ligeia’s conventional propulsion system delivers a cruising speed of 12 knots along with a top speed of 16 knots.&nbsp;<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/329739/image/large-334761441b67c3a876e638827c82162c.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/329739">

"We have created a very simple profile," explained designer Peder Eidsgaard of <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/168" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Harrison Eidsgaard (Company)">Harrison Eidgaard</a>. "We have given her smooth lines that run from her bow and across all three of her tiered decks."Monte Carlo&nbsp;has been specifically designed to appeal to a new generation of owners who are spending more time onboard. With an impressive 11.5-metre beam, her interior configuration showcases open spaces to direct the eye through the length of the yacht.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/329279/image/large-e7b0a81a664265ea770fde1ec4f58bb2.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/329279">The yacht features a four deck arrangement, with an entire deck dedicated to the owners suite on the upper deck. The remaining guest accommodation will be split across the main and lower decks, with <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/168" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Harrison Eidsgaard (Company)">Eidsgaard</a>’s design proposing a mix of up to five spacious VIP staterooms and comfortable double staterooms for the accommodation of up to 14 guests."We moved the guest staterooms up to the main deck, which allowed us to move &nbsp;the master suite up above to provide the owner with a great view forward and a penthouse feel. The suite includes a forward-facing bed, his-and-hers wardrobes, an owner's office and a Jacuzzi on her foredeck," commented Peder Eidsgaard.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/329281/image/large-0f898ed0f3a0233f0706b11f54b17861.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/329281">The superyacht will be one of the largest yacht's by volume ever built in Oss. <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/54" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Heesen Yachts (Company)">Heesen</a>’s CEO, Niels Vaessen, explained that the design is a direct response to trends they are currently seeing in the market. “It is unusual for us to build a four-decker, but we have had a few requests for such a boat from former clients, so it made sense to create one. We are addressing a key market of owners that are looking to maximise space and experience on board to share with family and friends.”Peder Eidsgaard highlighted that the owner’s deck offers supreme privacy and could be utilised in different ways depending on their reference. “It is a very open master suite, with the bathtub, shower and office all interconnected,” he said.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/329280/image/large-d733ce7e3d20a41971a74d33ee1225c9.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/329280">“The benefit of this arrangement is that an incoming owner can easily toy with the space devoted to each area. The potential is huge; you expand the master suite to include a private foredeck with its own sundeck, Jacuzzi and a fold-down balcony to starboard. From his/her office, the owner can walk straight out onto the balcony and take a seat.”Monte Carlo's design&nbsp;includes a large 23-square-metre pool, with glass sides giving the impression that you are swimming in the sea and fold-down wings on the aft deck that allow you to sit right over the water. This multi-level space also has direct access to the wellness centre below, which is equipped with a large gym, sauna, juice bar and hammam. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/329282/image/large-0992a6b0b1763ba0d7e3273ec8f38a1d.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/329282">Other key spaces include a ‘beach lounge’ on the main deck, where low-slung sofas offer an informal dining area for up to 14 guests, with sliding doors again connecting the yacht to its surroundings. There is also a firepit observation lounge under the mast, an outdoor kitchen, and a semi-open sky lounge seating area, including a hidden pop-up TV for movie nights."Her multi-level roof top terrace offers guests a great view of the horizon, with her seating area and firepit providing the perfect spot for relaxation. Her awning hoop also allows guests to enjoy the stars at night and can be closed in the day time for protection from the sun," added Peder Eidsgaard.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/329283/image/large-b5678775dbec9d28a808c083b261d22c.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/329283">The yacht’s beach club is also ideal for launching water toys, and its impressive storage will ensure that Project Monte-Carlo can be equipped with the latest toys available, including e-foils, wave runners and a diving kit. Additionally, the yacht has storage for two tenders, which are used for easy excursions back to the shore.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/329278/image/large-20bb5d97e52e0de451726cd1b49e39e7.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/329278">The yacht has also been designed alongside <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/54" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Heesen Yachts (Company)">Heesen</a>'s BlueNautich strategy, and is technically enabled for serial hybrid propulsion, with space for a large battery bank.

Semar (Serveis Marítims Port Eivissa) has teamed up with <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/6623" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Ocibar (Company)">Ocibar</a> to renovate the yacht facility formerly known as La Marina de Valencia, converting it into Marina Port Valencia.&nbsp;Located in the northern part of the Port of Valencia, this project is being facilitated by two groups that specialise in benchmark yachting projects in the Mediterranean. The companies’ right to operate and manage the concession was signed earlier this week on 1 October. They will now develop and operate the project submitted to Valencia Port Authority for a minimum period of 35 years.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/331229/image/large-4e1695846313bf69f20dab3003726572.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/331229">The project includes three separate marinas - Marina Norte, Marina Sur and Marina City - and will renovate the entire site, breathing new life into it. The new Marina Valencia licence-holder is set to restore the “previous life and spirit” of the area, which once hosted the America’s cup, according to IPM Group.The renovation will see the facility be separated into four individual areas the first of which will consist of three marinas in the centre of the city for yachts between eight and 130-metres in length. The second section will comprise the construction of a refit and repair yard housing specialist companies.&nbsp;Moreover, the third section will include a leisure, dining, and entertainment area that merges with the locale, ensuring the marina is a popular venue for local, national, and international visitors. Lastly, the fourth section will feature an architecturally aesthetic area offering sea views, offices, and retail units, which will also be paired with parking spaces, bike lanes, jogging tracks, terraces, and landscaped gardens.&nbsp;“However, the project doesn’t just involve the revamp of the marina, but also includes the development of fascinating social, nautical, environmental and sporting proposals that will be rolled out as the whole project takes shape,” IPM group explains.&nbsp;
