Finnish shipyard Baltic Yachts have signed a contract for the construction of a custom 78 ft motor yacht. The M/Y 78 will benefit from the shipyard’s experience in building high performance composite sailing yachts such as the mighty Hetairos, the recently delivered Nikata and the regatta-regular WinWin.

The yard collaborated with well known naval architect Germán Frers to create a powerful and lightweight cruiser capable of undertaking long voyages. Her design will deliver a comfortable ride with able to reach a top speed of 25 knots.

With an interior designed by Design Unlimited, the layout has been optimised to house two separate saloon spaces, one for dining and another at deck level for lounging. All accommodation areas are situated below deck including the two crew cabins, two guest cabins amidships and a master suite in the bow.

The project is overseen by Project Manager Roberto Martinez of Martinez Consulting which is expected to be delivered in the summer of 2017.

“Admiral Lord Nelson’s old adage that ‘Ships and men rot in port’ is just as true now as it was in his era,” muses Michael White, Director at <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/4547" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="TWW Yachts (Company)">TWW Yachts</a>, when asked about the benefits for an owner considering charter when building their yacht.&nbsp;<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/286824/image/large-4bea38b04840ca950b771c3aec26be6c.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/286824">“Building with charter in mind is sensible for three key reasons,” White continues. “The first, and most obvious reason, is financial: depending on how much time an owner will give us, he is likely to see a substantial contribution towards operating costs or even in some instances making a capital return on their investment. Keeping a focused and busy crew that keeps the vessel running properly is the second. While the third, and often overlooked reason is tax breaks: certain countries offer tax advantages for commercial vessels operating as a business.”<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/286817/image/large-4d5d7e2099c4d79ec3a0da637f57878c.png" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/286817">&nbsp;Commercially classifying a new build should also be seen as a long-term investment; regardless of whether an owner decides to charter their yacht, building to international standards and classifications will be beneficial when the time comes to sell. Most second time owners will wish to have the yacht working in charter, and as such it’s a sensible investment to build to meet charter requirements. “As a prerequisite for being commercially classified, yachts are built to very high safety standards. Durability and upkeep are also major considerations for the build team – all crucial considerations for a future buyer” says White. “And if that buyer is looking to make an enterprise from their investment – which most are! – then they’re far more likely to consider a yacht that was built to charter requirements. Otherwise, a seller might be left with two choices: sell below market value or invest time and money in refitting to meet these standards.”<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/273081/image/large-77753f90a22e13a82f4037a13dc92ca6.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/273081">The ideal charter yacht? There really isn’t a one-size-fits-all, and the common idea of a ‘perfect charter yacht’ is probably a misnomer. There are, of course, good traits and makeup of a good charter yacht, but the complete DNA is thankfully subjective – otherwise, we’d have the same yacht built time and time again. Everyone has his own ideas and the type and size of the yacht will depend on so many aspects – where the vessel is to be chartered, budget, and individual choice.&nbsp;“If an owner wants to maximise charter revenue, a displacement yacht capable of crossing the Atlantic to operate in both seasons might be a sensible choice,” White explains. “But if you want to exclusively charter in the Bahamas, for instance, you’d likely look for a faster boat with a shallow draft. The style and type of yacht are just as directed by needs; however, market demands should also be considered. It’s important to understand how and why a yacht should be used, as well as insights into current and future trends.”<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/273123/image/large-7c7177a824af184bae282cd2c4cb8500.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/273123"> Before starting a new build project it’s always sensible to appoint a good project management team. Not only invaluable throughout construction, but also a thorough specification review will highlight any shortfalls that can be put right and budgeted for before the build begins. This expertise will ensure success in both the short and long term. There might be times when the original specifications look great on paper but are flawed in reality – a keen, experienced eye should identify and rectify any problems early which will mitigate hurdles post-delivery. Regular reporting and a presence in the shipyard will ensure that the vessel when delivered will meet and hopefully exceed all expectations. Thereafter it will transfer seamlessly into the operational management side and charter.“We’re a small, boutique company that prides itself on its expertise. Our team is highly skilled, from many different disciplines, and together we have a thorough understanding of every aspect surrounding the build and management of superyachts,” says White. “I’m terribly proud of the team and our clients benefit greatly from their foresight, as they see and resolve issues long before they become problems.”&nbsp;The fact that six of the seven recent <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/4547" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="TWW Yachts (Company)">TWW</a> deliveries have or will be joining the company’s charter fleet is a testament to the level of service it offers its clients who wish to place their yachts on the charter market. “We pride ourselves on exceptional marketing to include dedicated websites and great photography,” says White. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/286833/image/large-7d5dad64d62f18da8fb6cf7726818cff.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/286833">“Chartering through <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/4547" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="TWW Yachts (Company)">TWW Yachts</a> will maximise the yacht's potential. As a rule of thumb, around eight to 10 weeks of charter should cover the direct operating costs with anything more than that contributing to capital costs and thereafter profit.”&nbsp;Using the services of a broker to contract a new build at a yard is highly beneficial for a buyer. As a company we will probably build many yachts at the yard, whereas a private buyer might only build one. So, a yard will often offer preferential terms to a buyer using a well-respected broker. Furthermore, a good broker will direct a buyer to the shipyard that has the most experience and offers the best terms and delivery dates. “If we know first-hand that a shipyard consistently delivers to a high standard and on time then we’re much more likely to refer our clients to them,” adds White. “We know they’ll get the job done!” <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/286832/image/large-59aad19fb09119309d269060277eb0c7.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/286832"><a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/4547" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="TWW Yachts (Company)">TWW Yachts</a> builds on trust and has very strong retention rates as a result. “When you get to my age, I am now often working with multiple generations within the same family,” White says, smiling. “A Benetti that we’re building at the moment is for the son of a client who I’ve been working with since 1982. And there are other members of the family coming along!&nbsp;The approach that <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/4547" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="TWW Yachts (Company)">TWW Yacht</a>s takes is always bespoke and tailored to specific needs.&nbsp;It has numerous areas of business and can provide management and support throughout a yacht’s entire lifetime: from the initial idea stage and construction, during operations – both private and charter –, all the way to the final sale.&nbsp;
