It offers easy water access, along with a panorama of views for guests to immerse themselves in the maritime environment. This concept also offers customisable layouts for owners to choose their preferences. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/344720/image/large-4954f524f4602727ee7988005dc3b199.png" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/344720">“The Cosmopolitan 110 embodies everything we stand for at <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/7610" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Cosmopolitan Yachts (Company)">Cosmopolitan Yachts</a>: innovation, sustainability, and the art of exploration,” enthused Iván Salas Jefferson, Managing Partner &amp; Chief Naval Architect.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/344718/image/large-581ee7c8819f87435e4c57c74ee28d84.png" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/344718">Another one of the Cosmopolitan 110’s notable traits is her lengthy range of 5,000 nautical miles, which in combination with a shallow 1.8-metre draft, allows for exploration of remote destinations.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/344713/image/large-651fcc173689f324b2fd208050bf80cd.png" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/344713">The Beach Club Explorer Catamaran’s hybrid-solar propulsion system consists of what her designer calls “reliable” diesel engines as well as the reduced noise and emissions of electric power.

Cosmopolitan 110: The 34m Beach Club Explorer catamaran concept

<a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/8032" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Dutch Design (Company)">Dutch Design</a> has unveiled the first details of its inaugural project, the 42.5-metre motor yacht Sea Rover. The new design blends features typically found on much larger vessels, with a focus centered on wellness. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/344647/image/large-aa4a95370280d4448f013a23980db766.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/344647">The limited edition Sea Rover series will see just 10 vessels created from a unique collaboration between experienced yacht owner Scott Blum and Dutch yacht designer <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/4789" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Bernd Weel Design (Company)">Bernd Weel</a>. Prioritising health and active living, the design philosophy offers a seamless fusion of style, function, and comfort and is described by the designers as the "world’s only wellness-first yacht."<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/344640/image/large-433f3fd1ac85f3d15ad7e66a9131e9c1.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/344640">Built from steel and aluminium, Sea Rover places wellness at the forefront of her design, with features such as a bridge-deck spa, gym and a sports court in prominent locations, rather than being tucked away below deck. As a result, this layout provides guests with panoramic sea views during workouts, yoga sessions and spa treatments.Sea Rover's exterior lines are defined by a sweeping curve from bow to stern, with expansive floor-to-ceiling windows enhancing natural light and views onboard. She features a minimalist Californian-inspired interior that uses natural materials such as wood, stone and earth-toned textiles to create a tranquil, casual ambiance. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/344649/image/large-96a97bf0a2f5b1176b940d652a5ca747.png" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/344649">The main saloon of Sea Rover blends dining and entertaining areas, with the galley and dining room positioned side by side on the main deck to foster interaction between the chef, crew, and guests. Expansive glass panels frame panoramic views, allowing owners to savour their surroundings while enjoying a favourite meal.A central staircase forms the core of the design, seamlessly connecting the top deck to the bottom. The staircase originates at a cubed glass table on the sundeck, allowing natural light to cascade through all the decks below.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/344638/image/large-521711707f5829ca1b715a487f29db37.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/344638">Located forward on the main deck, her owner’s suite offers expansive views through large glass panels and includes a Japanese onsen-style tub, steam room and one of the largest closet spaces in its category.Four additional guest staterooms offer generous space and provide direct access to the aft beach club, through a distinctive engine room passage. Storage has also been carefully planned, with ample room for luggage and equipment. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/344639/image/large-5fe090f4aa3ee4f112d9579b0bce2c75.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/344639">Sea Rover can also sleep a crew of nine across a four cabin configuration, including a dedicated captain’s cabin. Notably, all crew spaces are finished to the same premium standards as guest areas, reflecting Blum’s philosophy on maintaining a motivated team.“I’ve seen firsthand the demand for a new lifestyle at sea, one that encourages activity and wellness,” explained Scott Blum. “Sea Rover is for the owner who likes to wake up and jump in the water; work out, go diving and use all their toys.”<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/344645/image/large-7f0b7b6fb4a1b9906d901c90084fb8ae.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/344645">Sea Rover is equipped with high-end fitness equipment and wellness features, including dual hot and cold plunge pools, a Jacuzzi, sauna, infrared therapy wall and a dedicated massage space. Her sport court is adaptable for pickleball, basketball, paddle tennis and volleyball and also serves as a storage area for tenders, toys and even a car.“We really focused on what is valuable and needed on board to create a design that is super clean, classic, Dutch and will stand the test of time. We've condensed the grandeur of a 300-foot superyacht into something more intimate, without compromising on the features or the experience,” added <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/4789" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Bernd Weel Design (Company)">Bernd Weel</a>. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/344643/image/large-317586c978bc40d8fea46b05d25b84d9.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/344643">A spacious beach club with 270-degree views features foldable platforms on either side, forming an expansive swimming deck that stretches across the yacht's stern. Equipped with a dining table and sunbeds, it offers guests effortless access to the water, a day head, wet bar and generously sized cabinets, providing ample storage for a wide array of water toys.Another key feature of Sea Rover is her engine room. In a departure from traditional yacht design, the engine room is visible through a glass hallway, allowing guests to observe the vessel's technical core. Her spacious wheelhouse also includes a freestanding bridge console and large seating areas, promoting interaction between guests and the captain.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/344642/image/large-23b5a94236639be6fa46ce0cf3bb782d.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/344642">Each Sea Rover&nbsp;yacht is semi-customisable, with prospective owners invited to <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/8032" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Dutch Design (Company)">Dutch Design</a>’s Amsterdam headquarters to select finishes and colours. The historic canal house headquarters has been transformed into a serene space reflecting the yacht’s aesthetics, offering a preview of the unique yachting experience.“Sea Rover integrates travel with total well-being, something that has never been done before on a boat,” concluded Blum. “For those who become owners, this is a tremendous investment that will hold its value over time.”

Dutch Design unveils 43m limited edition “wellness-first” superyacht Sea Rover 

The details and renderings of a new 25-metre stabilised monohull explorer yacht concept by Paul Bury of the studio <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/1962" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Bury Design (Company)">Bury Design</a> have been unveiled. The explorer yacht concept is available in two different versions depending on prospective owner’s wishes: the coupe variant and the enclosed flybridge variant. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/344212/image/large-a9614b63abf841156e01875388d671b9.png" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/344212"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/344205/image/large-08400a3e43bac91019ca4835653d10c4.png" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/344205">Similarly to a trimaran, a ‘stabilised monohull’ yacht exhibits three individual hulls. However, the stabilised monohull design carries the majority of her volume in the central hull, while a trimaran is known to distribute the volume more evenly across three hulls.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/344215/image/large-df489e7ec2ce70f685b7519a705337c4.png" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/344215">Designed to traverse the world, either through the open seas or more mellow coastlines, this yacht’s stabilised monohull layout is central to her character. According to <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/1962" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Bury Design (Company)">Bury</a>, the arrangement “provides outstanding powering efficiency, seakeeping ability and comfort not possible with a standard monohull or catamaran.” <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/344206/image/large-7cd888f382a4847081df67d69385ff61.png" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/344206">The world cruiser yacht’s blueprint draws inspiration from <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/1962" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Bury Design (Company)">Bury</a>’s own experience with marine oil and gas applications. With a long, narrow, and deep centre hull equipped with propulsive machinery, the vessel’s outer hulls boast dimensions that ensure initial stability and a low rate of roll, as well as limited resistance. The vessel is composed of a solid carbon main hull with foam cored, fibreglass outer hulls. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/344210/image/large-a66c5ca9d472938c9f38acc81d1225ff.png" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/344210">Moreover, the submerged volume’s longitudinal distribution is intended to reduce pitching in a seaway - a feature that "significantly slows down catamarans,” <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/1962" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Bury Design (Company)">Bury</a> explained. By contrast, this hull configuration is said to allow operation in the open ocean at high speeds for longer voyages. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/344203/image/large-4faa5e0110e1e7c58aa3b7a4d41e5a90.png" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/344203">The ‘coupe version’ of the yacht caters to a “cruising couple and guests”, stated <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/1962" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Bury Design (Company)">Bury</a>, as accommodation comprises four separate areas, two of which are located in the main hull, while the other two are in each outer hull. Although the layout currently displays three guest staterooms and one crew cabin or office, this can be redesigned to suit the owner's needs. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/344207/image/large-4e4bddb9d33b01671567f8e13c6a2c7e.png" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/344207">Meanwhile, the ‘flybridge version’ features a larger accommodation volume along with internal access to the flybridge and hulls. Additionally, a larger main-deck saloon is paired with the enclosed flybridge, which has the option to include a captain’s cabin with an ensuite bathroom.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/344213/image/large-98a42e4fa9220e58660c9afbedfc6821.png" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/344213">Described by her designer as a “vessel that is rarely in a marina berth”, the motor yacht will be equipped with a five-metre inboard jet-powered tender, housed on deck forward of the helm. The tender not only serves as a platform for fast excursions, but, at anchor, it will be secured to the stern platform for flush walk on and off access.In terms of her propulsion, the yacht’s primary propulsion consists of a single large displacement diesel engine driving a 1.3-metre diameter controllable pitch propeller. Her auxiliary propulsion is from two 20 kilowatt electric motors that drive folding propellers in each hull. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/344208/image/large-cd15b8cd716963e987f96f569fa55a10.png" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/344208">Performance-wise, she delivers a cruising speed of 10 knots and a top speed of 19 knots. For silent performance under electric drive, a speed of up to eight knots is possible.In addition, the yacht is decked out in solar panels on the roof and substantial stored energy in the lithium phosphate battery system so that she can be self-sufficient for several days while at anchor. &nbsp;

The vessel is distinguished by its sporty demeanour, exceptional quietness and lack of vibrations, which significantly enhance onboard livability and comfort. Both the interiors and exteriors are luxurious, airy, and welcoming, designed with meticulous attention to detail. A prominent feature is the flybridge, improved with reverse glazing that enlarges the space and offers spectacular sea views, accessible via two carbon-fibre external staircases from the aft deck.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/347917/image/large-ed4e7e29a6d3d46d5821e2a28b663eff.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/347917">The second version, the <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/1205" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="AB Yachts (Company)">AB</a>95 Sport, is designed for owners seeking the thrill of pure adrenaline and exhilarating high-speed water navigation, both safely and in style.

"We are certain the <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/1205" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="AB Yachts (Company)">AB</a>95 will meet and exceed our owners' wishes and requirements."How&nbsp;<a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/1205" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="AB Yachts (Company)">AB Yachts</a>&nbsp;differentiate themselves from their competitorsSince the brand's inception in 1992, <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/1205" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="AB Yachts (Company)">AB Yachts</a> has set itself apart through its innovative use of jet drive propulsion systems. “We are proud to be leaders in this area, as we are one of the first shipyards that has been dedicated to jet production for years, always incorporating a triple engine setup,” highlights Capasso.Capasso further elaborates on their performance metrics, “When we analyse fuel consumption, we consider it relative to consumption per mile, not in absolute terms.” This methodological precision is evident in previous models like the <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/1205" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="AB Yachts (Company)">AB</a>110, which achieves speeds of 30-32 knots while consuming only about 18-20 litres per mile, remarkably comparable to an eight-cylinder engine of the same size.The drive for innovation is particularly pronounced in the sport version of <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/1205" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="AB Yachts (Company)">AB Yachts</a>. “The superstructure of the sport models is made of fiberglass but reinforced with carbon to significantly lighten the vessel and lower its center of gravity,” Capasso notes. This not only enhances the yacht’s navigational capabilities but also contributes to its efficiency, reducing fuel consumption per mile. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/347914/image/large-bb67f1e31117cf9177d406c5c80d925b.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/347914"><a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/6468" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Next Yacht Group (Company)">Next Yacht Group</a>’s strategy and future ambitions<a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/6468" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Next Yacht Group (Company)">Next Yacht Group</a> is positioning itself to become a leading player on the global nautical stage by bolstering its resources to enhance operational capabilities. “We have infused the company with expertise and appointed a head of sales for each brand to ensure a focused and effective market approach,” explains Roy Capasso.A key element of this strategic enhancement is the acquisition and development of the ex <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/51" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Perini Navi (Company)">Perini</a> and ex <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/350" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Picchiotti (Company)">Picciotti</a> shipyards in Viareggio. “These shipyards are strategically located on the Viareggio dock and include a substantial waterfront area of about 2000 square-metres, where we complete and deliver our boats directly to customers,” adds Capasso.Furthermore, <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/6468" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Next Yacht Group (Company)">Next Yacht Group</a> has established a dedicated customer lounge.

It was alleged that Suleiman Kerimov had improved and maintained the yacht in violation to the sanctions imposed on him in 2018.The complaint alleges that <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/6167" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Amadea 106.1m (348'1&quot;)Lürssen Yachts2017">Amadea</a> was therefore forfeitable, based on violations of U.S. law, including the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (“IEEPA”) and money laundering violations.Read: <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Article/62459" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Amadea: US court hears ownership arguments for 106m seized Russian superyacht (2025-01-22 11:00:00 +0100)">Amadea: US court hears ownership arguments for 106m seized Russian superyacht</a><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/347830/image/large-5c04ba913e564877c30818c9b008f5d9.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/347830">Eduard Khudainatov’s ownership claimsDespite the allegations against Kerimov, another Russian businessman, Eduard Khudainatov, claims ownership of <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/6167" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Amadea 106.1m (348'1&quot;)Lürssen Yachts2017">Amadea</a> and is seeking to reclaim it. While Khudainatov is not under U.S. sanctions, he was blacklisted by the European Union in June 2022.At the closing arguments of an evidentiary hearing in New York, prosecutors asserted that Khudainatov had sold the yacht to Kerimov in September 2021, while retaining the title to act as its straw owner. In contrast, Khudainatov's legal team insists the yacht was never sold and argues that simply holding title is sufficient to establish standing in the case.Currently, <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/6167" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Amadea 106.1m (348'1&quot;)Lürssen Yachts2017">Amadea</a> remains docked in San Diego and is maintained by the US government as legal proceedings continue.The seizure of <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/6167" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Amadea 106.1m (348'1&quot;)Lürssen Yachts2017">Amadea</a> in April 2022 was one of the most significant early actions of Task Force KleptoCapture, an interagency group dedicated to enforcing sanctions and other punitive measures imposed by the US following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. However, the forfeiture battle has been extended for nearly three years. In June 2023, a judge denied the government’s request to sell the yacht and proceed with a forfeiture case against its net proceeds.Read:&nbsp;<a data-gid="gid://syiq/Article/58937" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="US seeks ownership of 106m seized Russian-owned superyacht Amadea (2023-10-24 15:30:00 +0200)">US seeks ownership of 106m seized Russian-owned superyacht Amadea</a><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/313424/image/large-0dd2178fb66c02170abf05c01b2c0f9a.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/313424">Attorney General Bondi disbands KleptoCapture Task ForceAs well as this, the U.S. Justice Department under President Donald Trump announced last week that it is shutting down Task Force KleptoCapture, a key initiative launched in response to Russia's 2022 invasion of Ukraine to enforce sanctions and seize the assets of oligarchs close to the Kremlin.A memo from newly appointed Attorney General Pam Bondi, issued on Wednesday 5 February confirmed the move. The directive, which had not been previously reported, states that resources currently allocated to sanction enforcement and asset seizures will now be redirected to tackling drug cartels and international gangs.Adam Ford, a lawyer for Khudainatov, criticised the dissolution of the task force, calling it a "failed Biden administration publicity stunt" that had become a growing financial burden on US taxpayers. He described <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/6167" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Amadea 106.1m (348'1&quot;)Lürssen Yachts2017">Amadea</a> as "the crown jewel" of the task force's efforts and asserted that closing arguments further reinforced Khudainatov’s claim to ownership.Created under President Joe Biden, Task Force KleptoCapture was instrumental in prosecuting Russian oligarchs and seizing their assets as part of a wider strategy to isolate Moscow from global financial markets.Since its inception, the task force led to the seizure of yachts belonging to sanctioned oligarchs, including Suleiman Kerimov and Viktor Vekselberg. While ongoing cases initiated by the task force will continue, its dissolution means the work will no longer be coordinated from Justice Department headquarters.Prosecutors assigned to the task force will return to their previous posts, with the changes in effect for at least 90 days and subject to further review, according to Bondi’s directive.Read:&nbsp;<a data-gid="gid://syiq/Article/54694" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Update on Russian yachts seized (2023-06-28 11:45:00 +0200)">Update on Russian yachts seized</a><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/105390/image/large-81c71ad249d93de4bf811139f4c37815.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/105390">Delivered in 2017, <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/6167" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Amadea 106.1m (348'1&quot;)Lürssen Yachts2017">Amadea</a> features exterior design by <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/82" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Espen Øino International (Company)">Espen Øino International</a>, while her interior was penned by <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/67" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Zuretti Interior Design (Company)">Zuretti Interior Design</a>, with naval architecture by her builder <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/23" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Lürssen Yachts (Company)">Lürssen</a>.<a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/6167" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Amadea 106.1m (348'1&quot;)Lürssen Yachts2017">Amadea</a> can comfortably accommodate up to 16 guests across an eight stateroom configuration, alongside an impressive crew of 36.

These events have reshaped transit routes, with more yachts now navigating via the Cape of Good Hope instead of the Gulf of Aden. “We had anticipated a decline in yachts travelling to the Arabian Gulf, but instead we are seeing an increase in the number of boats based in the Emirates. The Middle East continues to be a booming region for yachting,” said Dazert.Geopolitical shifts have also altered buying patterns. While Russian sales have declined, demand from the US and Asia, particularly India, has surged. In 2024, orders for superyachts over 80 metres regained momentum, and global yacht sales over 30 metres rose 10 percent in Q4 compared to 2023.Rising tensions have increased operational costs, particularly insurance. “The increase in insurance premiums is a major obstacle – they now equal or exceed the cost of a charter,” said Captain Christos Metallinos of superyacht <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/1096" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Emir82.5m (270'8&quot;)Mitsubishi Heavy Industries Ltd.1985">Emir</a>. “This has led to a significant drop in bookings.”<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/347760/image/large-1b9615df1ddadb2efddf4ba087e91858.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/347760">The impact on other sectorsOther luxury sectors are also adapting. “The imposition of a 25 percent tax on aircraft imported into the US is a major challenge,” said Olivier Zuber, Bombardier’s Sales Director for Western Europe. Meanwhile, insurers are responding to shifting risks. “Some yacht owners have abandoned their usual plans to cross the Suez Canal,” noted Vincent Huens De Brouwer, Managing Partner at Covership.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/347762/image/large-e536c9a729b4d04d5d17387baa3a32d1.png" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/347762">The impact of US economic policyThe prospect of a second Trump term adds further uncertainty. “A second Trump term raises questions – his pro-business stance could stimulate the market, but his unpredictable decisions remain a source of uncertainty,” said Dazert. Yet, despite these challenges, the Middle East and Southeast Asia continue to grow, with Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030 opening new opportunities for the yachting industry.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/347759/image/large-fb4f2c7deec7d31620e9d005074b91ac.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/347759">A resilient market supported by global wealth growthGlobal economic performance is expected to remain stable despite uncertainties, with moderate GDP growth forecast through 2025. The shift towards ‘slowbalisation’ is reshaping the yachting industry, emphasising regional supply chains and emerging markets like the Arabian Gulf and Southeast Asia.“We live in an era where economic uncertainty is a constant reality,” said Ernesto De Marzio, Managing Director - Head of Front at UBS Monaco. “Despite geopolitical tensions, billionaire wealth has doubled over the past decade to $14 trillion.”<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/347763/image/large-e38fefd5dee8846cc3c09511f3a319fa.png" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/347763">Future commitmentsThe Yacht Club de Monaco remains at the forefront of responsible yachting, awarding the SEA Index® label to <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/3716" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Aslec 445.37m (148'10&quot;)Rossinavi2012">Aslec 4</a> and <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/3688" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Galena 30.75m (100'11&quot;)Moonen Yachts2013">Galena</a> for their three-star environmental rating.

When it comes to Winter destinations for superyachts, the Caribbean often dominates the conversation. However, recent attention has shifted towards the Red Sea, fuelled by extensive marina development projects on both the Saudi Arabian and Egyptian sides.Strategically located near the Mediterranean, the Red Sea offers superyachts a seamless transition from their summer cruising grounds and is progressing towards becoming a leading winter yachting destination.Despite this progress, several critical areas still require further development to fully realise the Red Sea’s potential as a sought-after destination. These include enhancing collaboration between nation-states, expanding infrastructure, adjusting regulatory frameworks for foreign-flagged vessels, and implementing robust sustainability measures to preserve its rich biodiversity.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/340269/image/large-9e9fc0cee2376c5984af362e554aca7a.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/340269">At the latest <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Event/232" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Gulf Superyacht Summit - 2024">Gulf Superyacht Summit</a> in Dubai, the 'Red Sea Opportunity' panel discussion featured Bahi Naguib, Red Sea Operations Director at <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/7369" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Felix Maritime Agency (Company)">Felix Maritime Agency</a>; Vienna Eleuteri, CEO Advisor for Regenerative Development, Regulations, and Policies at the <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/7269" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Saudi Red Sea Authority (Company)">Saudi Red Sea Authority</a> (<a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/7269" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Saudi Red Sea Authority (Company)">SRSA</a>); Txema Rubio, Commercial Director of the <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/7941" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="MB92 Group (Company)">MB92 Group</a>; and Rayan Bukhari, General Manager of <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/2220" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Hill Robinson (Company)">Hill Robinson Saudia</a>. The panelists explored the current progress of key projects and regulatory developments in Saudi Arabia and Egypt, discussing the potential impacts of these ambitious initiatives.The critical role of collaboration between Egypt and Saudi ArabiaTo develop the Red Sea into a superyacht destination, symbiotic collaboration between nearby nations is crucial for its development. Naguib emphasised the necessity of joint efforts between Saudi Arabia and Egypt. He stated, "Everything that passes through Saudi must also traverse the Suez Canal in Egypt. Both the Egyptian government and the private sector are crucial in supporting Saudi Arabia’s initiatives to develop this destination. Given the numerous stakeholders and complex dynamics involved, ensuring seamless access is essential." He noted that operations in the Suez Canal must be as efficient as possible and mentioned that, with cooperative efforts from the Saudi government, Egypt is working to streamline these processes. Furthermore, Naguib highlighted recent regulations introduced by the <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/7490" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Suez Canal Authority (Company)">Suez Canal Authority</a>, which offer a 30% discount to yachts under 300 tonnes traveling to the Red Sea, describing this as a commendable first step. However, he stressed the need for further development of infrastructure and destinations in the Red Sea region.Bukhari concurred with Naguib’s points but introduced an additional perspective. "For me, it’s quite straightforward, whether we’re discussing the Egyptian or the Saudi side of the Red Sea. To stimulate growth in the yachting ecosystem, we must create demand," he explained. "This involves developing a compelling and desirable itinerary, especially from the Saudi perspective, with which I am more familiar." Bukhari underlined that numerous developments are in progress. "There are exciting prospects on the horizon, both short-term and long-term. A prime example is the success of the <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/6557" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Jeddah Yacht Club & Marina (Company)">Jeddah Marina &amp; Yacht Club</a> and <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/7283" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Sindalah Marina (Company)">Sindalah</a> in <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/7371" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="NEOM (Company)">NEOM</a>, although, like any project, they require some adjustments. If we continue on this path, I am confident that soon we will establish an attractive itinerary for any superyacht."<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/340144/image/large-2c026ddbd656a1ed4fdbf1fb87bd0b9b.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/340144">Rubio agreed with Bukhari’s point on the importance of creating a compelling itinerary in the Red Sea region. He added, “From our perspective, we play a modest yet crucial role, operating with rigorous discipline and a commitment to adaptability.” Rubio emphasised the broader challenges, stating, “Ultimately, there is a significant amount of infrastructure that still needs to be developed, and while our role may be small, it is essential. Our work not only supports the creation of itineraries but also ensures the availability of services and maintenance, which are critical for the success of winter cruising in the region.Evidence of how successful collaboration between Saudi Arabia and Egypt can be instrumental in developing the Red Sea was underscored by Naguib ahead of the Saudi Red Sea Week. He highlighted that a delegation from Saudi Arabia visited Egypt, which greatly enhanced direct communication between the two countries, particularly in relation to the Suez Canal. “The Egyptian authorities were proactive in ensuring smooth transit for numerous vessels,” Naguib reported. “This official delegation provided Egypt with valuable insights into the expectations and requirements of their clients.” He added that the outcomes not only met but, in some cases, exceeded expectations. “Many were pleasantly surprised by the efficiency of passing through the Suez Canal,” he recounted, emphasising the collaborative efforts of the two governments and their promising potential to establish the Red Sea as a premier destination for yachts.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/285492/image/large-4b771601-8882-42a3-840f-de9e06e3473e.jpeg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/285492">Regulations and their role in developing the Red SeaWhile infrastructure and international cooperation are crucial, regulatory frameworks are equally vital in shaping the Red Sea's future as a yachting paradise. For a yachting destination to be truly attractive, regulations that facilitate the cruising of foreign-flagged private and commercial vessels are essential. Although a region may boast many marinas, if the conditions do not support easy cruising, it will be challenging to attract superyachts to the area.Eleuteri emphasised the critical role of comprehensive and detailed regulations in advancing yachting activities in the Red Sea. She noted that the <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/7269" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Saudi Red Sea Authority (Company)">SRSA</a> was established to develop a regulatory framework aimed at promoting a thriving maritime sector in the Saudi-administered Red Sea. This framework supports shipyard operations and provides a broad range of services for yachting and superyachting. "By creating a regulatory ecosystem, we ensure that operations not only meet the highest standards but also align with specific sustainability goals. Our goal is to foster an environment where all activities are conducted at their best," she stated. Furthermore, Eleuteri highlighted the importance of innovation across all aspects of this ecosystem and underscored the necessity of collaboration. "The ocean, as we know, has no boundaries and connects us all. I concur with the panellists' earlier points that collaborative and participatory approaches are crucial to our success."Bukhari echoed Eleuteri’s point, explaining that regulations in Saudi Arabia are currently managed through a collaboration between many government entities, ministries and the Saudi Red Sea Authority. He highlighted the establishment of Ebhar, Saudi Arabia's counterpart to Egypt's Manassa platform - a portal that consolidates all government procedures and information from 20 agencies. Ebhar streamlines processes such as yacht registration, procedures for entering and leaving the Kingdom, sailing permits, issuing navigational licenses, and registering yachts under the Saudi flag. “Ebhar dramatically changed the landscape for us,” he remarked. “With its launch and initial release, it marked the beginning of proper governance and the establishment of a healthy yachting ecosystem.”<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/334955/image/large-f6eb5e3e3f5b2a77e6cfc08ed64138c9.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/334955"> On the topic of dealing with superyachts registered under foreign flag states, Bukhari noted that processes can vary depending on the yacht's flag. “If you're talking about white-listed flags, most procedures are straightforward,” he explained. “However, for grey-listed or black-listed flags, the approach can differ. As an agent, I may not be fully positioned to provide a definitive answer, but I believe there are specific processes in place to handle incoming yachts from a customs and immigration perspective, depending on their flag.” He also addressed the issue of VAT, adding, “There are policies and procedures in place, and if followed correctly, VAT can be reclaimed based on factors such as the goods, the time frame, and how and where the records are maintained.”Regarding whether the <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/7269" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Saudi Red Sea Authority (Company)">SRSA</a> collaborates with other stakeholders to establish dialogue for improving regulations in the Red Sea, Vienna Eleuteri shared insights into ongoing efforts. “At present, several initiatives are underway to establish systemic collaborations with major international organizations in the field. Dialogue has been ongoing for some time, and several specific initiatives are currently in progress. For instance, following discussions in Monaco with major player in the industry, we are planning to organise a roundtable. This roundtable will focus on developing sustainable solutions, addressing needs such as those of local fishermen and yachts navigating the Red Sea,” Eleuteri explained. She added that these initiatives are being prepared for a more systematic approach. “There is a clear willingness to progress, and I consider this a very promising start.”<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/291613/image/large-faa764426b1c1ec713163946753184f9.jpeg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/291613">Role of sustainability and its importance in making the Red Sea Region attractiveWith extensive marina construction underway on both the Egyptian and Saudi-administered sides of the Red Sea, discussions about sustainability and the preservation of the region's ecosystem and biodiversity have naturally been raised. Eleuteri addressed this topic, highlighting the launch of the National Red Sea Sustainability Strategy by His Royal Highness Prince Mohammed bin Salman. She explained that the initiative goes beyond implementing regulatory codes and guidelines for building and operating in the Red Sea. “It aims to position Saudi Arabia as a global benchmark for a regenerative and sustainable blue economy,” she said. Eleuteri further emphasised the importance of preserving the region's pristine environment, which underlines the imperative for stringent environmental protections.” The strategy, she noted, focuses on preparing for a deeper understanding of ecological footprints and striving to achieve natural climate-positive contributions. “This is not just an environmental mandate,” she explained, “but a comprehensive framework built on five key pillars: environmental protection, economic development, social development, safety and security, and governance and collaboration.” Eleuteri emphasised that any activities planned in the Red Sea must align with these pillars to build a truly sustainable economy in the region.She also highlighted the sustainable approach to investment, supported by tools to measure both negative and positive impacts. “As we develop new activities or construct facilities, we remain focused on how these contributions enhance GDP, which is critical. More importantly, we are now positioned to report on national determined contributions,” she said, referring to the agreements where industries commit to positively impacting the climate. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/273322/image/large-81c76517a9d6ab0a6ba06abc70e22e99.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/273322">Naguib agreed with Eleuteri’s point and expanded stating: “And just to add to that, on the sustainability front, Egypt could learn a great deal from your approach. Additionally, on the sustainability front, Egypt stands to benefit immensely from your strategic long-term vision, which places sustainability at the core of developments in the Red Sea. For it to be a lasting and viable destination, it's crucial to ensure that the beautiful dive sites and coral reefs remain intact. Additionally, there is a need for equity, which includes looking after both the fishermen and the yachting community, despite their competing interests.” Naguib also pointed out the critical importance of the regulatory framework, saying, “When you introduce new regulations, we on the Egyptian side pay close attention. We often take inspiration from your models, adapting them with slight modifications to fit our context.”Infrastructure and yacht related servicesFor the Red Sea to become an attractive destination, essential refit facilities and yacht-related services must be established to support visiting yachts. Refit capabilities are particularly crucial, as they provide necessary services, attract yachts to the region for maintenance, and encourage them to remain longer.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/261740/image/large-0fc9b6da51fb1ccc13fcad3f3ab28963.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/261740">Last year, the <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/7941" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="MB92 Group (Company)">MB92 Group</a>, which includes <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/97" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="MB92 Barcelona (Company)">MB92 Barcelona</a> and <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/547" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="MB92 La Ciotat (Company)">MB92 La Ciotat</a>, announced a partnership to establish a 10,000-square-metre repair facility. This facility is located near <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/7371" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="NEOM (Company)">NEOM</a>’s luxury island and yachting destination, <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/7283" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Sindalah Marina (Company)">Sindalah</a>. During the panel, Rubio shared further insights into the initiative, stating: “We are starting small, relatively speaking. It’s not the same size as the shipyards we have in <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/547" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="MB92 La Ciotat (Company)">La Ciotat</a> or <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/97" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="MB92 Barcelona (Company)">Barcelona</a>, but it’s a brand new, made-to-measure service facility. We will have a paint shed, a 300-ton travel lift, and a capacity to handle yachts up to 45-metres in length, accommodating around 25 yachts at the same time. Additionally, we will be able to provide offsite services for larger yachts if needed.”Regarding the workforce, Txema Rubio explained that development is still in progress. “We currently have four staff members at the facility, including the managing director, and the workforce strategy aligns with our commitment to local growth,” he noted. “What makes sense is to grow locally.” Rubio elaborated on the implementation plan, which involves a mix of local and international companies establishing operations in the area. “Our experience in <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/97" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="MB92 Barcelona (Company)">Barcelona&nbsp;</a>and <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/547" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="MB92 La Ciotat (Company)">La Ciotat</a> has shown that attracting OEMs (Original Equipment Manufacturers) can be highly effective. They bring their teams, start training local staff, and create a balanced mix of expertise,” he shared. “The result is a strong collaboration between the expertise of major brands and a skilled local workforce integrated into the shipyard.”Eleuteri expanded on the topic, stressing the unique challenges and opportunities involved in building an industry from the ground up. “Creating an entire industry from scratch is incredibly exciting,” she stated. “It’s not easy, of course, but there are so many aspects to consider, including the professionals involved.” She emphasised the importance of knowledge transfer, adding, “It’s happening in a very smooth and effective way, which is wonderful to see. We are even working on regulating and developing standards for job profiles, training, and certification. All of this contributes to the broader yachting ecosystem.” Eleuteri concluded by underscoring the significance of the moment: “We have this unique opportunity to get it right.”<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/291466/image/large-ee3cbb034446ab3174540d0191674f33.jpeg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/291466">The Red Sea's emergence as a leading winter yachting destination hinges on a multifaceted approach involving enhanced inter-state collaboration, substantial infrastructural developments, stringent yet flexible regulatory frameworks, and steadfast commitments to sustainability. As stakeholders continue to navigate the complexities of this transformation, the collective efforts of nations, industry leaders, and local communities will be crucial in realising the vision of a vibrant, sustainable maritime ecosystem. Despite the progress made, there is still much work to be done. As Eleuteri succinctly remarked, “As a Roman, I can say that Rome wasn’t built in a day.”
