A staircase from this deck provides access to the highly adaptable patio lounge on the main deck, which can be transformed from a gym to a lounge area with ease.Regarding accommodation, the Mangusta Oceano 52 features two guest/VIP staterooms positioned on the main deck, a location typically reserved for the master stateroom.

(Company)">Tankoa</a> has always been very strong, but which also further highlights our capabilities as a true boutique shipyard able to satisfy every need with unique projects,” comments Vincenzo Poerio, CEO at <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/1661" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Tankoa Yachts S.p.A. (Company)">Tankoa</a>.&nbsp;With a beam of 8.9-metres, she accommodates guests across a four ensuite stateroom layout located on the lower deck, which is also home to crew areas, a gym, or potentially a private lounge and beach club, depending on the owner's wishes. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/330152/image/large-f4bf0f784dd4f5712d5625aa43e9f75b.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/330152">Furthermore, the main deck, full-beam owner's suite spans 60-square-metres, exhibiting an array of materials including glass, brass, metal, and marble, with a primarily neutral colour palette of white and tan complemented by light wood floors.The owner's suite is also decked out in a study area, a large main stateroom with a private terrace to starboard, and a forward full-beam ensuite bathroom with the option of several configurations. The ensuite bathroom is similar to that "of a 70-metre yacht rather than a 50-metre yacht," <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/1661" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Tankoa Yachts S.p.A.

Once again, light woods are employed for the flooring, and are also reflected in the ceiling, while rounded lines and circular lighting fixtures create a Zen-like atmosphere. The upper deck saloon is also accompanied by a fifth VIP suite behind the bridge.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/330138/image/large-75678598cc225ba02d4c4eb9a0581581.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/330138">Moving outside, the exterior profile of the T520 Fenice makes an impression with a silver-grey hull, mimicking the lines of the shipyard's 68-metre model and drawing inspiration from automotive design.“This second model in the Fenice range revisits several key elements of the T680’s exterior design, with a particular focus on proportions,” says Enrico Gobbi, CEO of <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/1197" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Team for Design - Enrico Gobbi (Company)">Team for Design</a>. “This careful attention to proportional design has meant sleek, elegant and dynamic lines while offering spacious and generous areas onboard." &nbsp;<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/330139/image/large-107200e4f195be86d6c9778e0b0536c7.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/330139">In terms of outdoor entertainment, guests are invited to relax or socialise on the sundeck, which offers 105-square-metres worth of open air entertainment space, including a lounge and dining area, with one of the two Jacuzzis found onboard. Moreover, the inclusion of Louvre windows shield the exterior dining area from the natural elements.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/330140/image/large-21af7b3286573eee472fd3120f3dbd60.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/330140"> <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/330145/image/large-f30892f7a077edb55fa400885cb6999c.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/330145">The T520 Fenice's beach club contains an infinity pool fitted with a "hidden lounge" one level below, developed as a response to the growing demand for privacy, in contrast with an open stern design. Additionally, the gym connects to the beach club and a private aft lounge with a water feature running through. One of <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/1197" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Team for Design - Enrico Gobbi (Company)">Enrico Gobbi'</a>s unique creations for this concept is a waterfall from the beach club pool running behind the stairs to the lounge. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/330144/image/large-22d16c0e2f4b7a2e8154e97802877dd3.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/330144">The T520 Fenice's forward garage located under the foredeck is able to stow a 6.5-metre guest tender, a crew tender, and a selection of watertoys. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/330146/image/large-2607c9b99948a363cd4f8a36f44f5a1f.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/330146">Regarding her performance, the T520 Fenice, which has a draft of 2.7-metres, can reach a cruising speed of 14 knots alongside a top speed of 17 knots, over a transatlantic range of 4,000 nautical miles.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/330150/image/large-c200843a80094c2829996bda2e88e906.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/330150">

The relaxed-feeling interiors of the yacht can also be customised by prospective owners.&nbsp;In terms of her accommodation, Sirena 118 offers guests a six stateroom layout with the option to include an owner's suite that occupies two decks. These three decks of accommodation are rounded off with a spacious sundeck.

Thanks to this arrangement, a VIP suite and as many as four guest staterooms can be placed on the lower deck, whereas the forward area of the main deck is dedicated to the owner's suite.“The Sirena 118 will be the largest GRP yacht we have built to date,” comments <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/4910" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Sirena Yachts (Company)">Sirena</a> CEO Cagin Genc. “This superyacht is being carefully developed as the highest expression yet of the values that have made <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/4910" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Sirena Yachts (Company)">Sirena Yachts</a> and Sirena Superyachts so successful around the world.

Further opportunities for dining can be found on the table and wet bar situated on the upper deck, as well as on a more secluded exterior deck.&nbsp;Additionally, Sirena 118 is developed to support a crew of five members, which can also be increased to seven members with the presence of the captain's cabin on the upper deck. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/327707/image/large-62ef5c00a7d87ad9a107aae85b018e81.png" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/327707">Performance-wise, the Sirena 118 yacht benefits from a fast displacement hull form, and is powered by twin <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/1441" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="MAN (Company)">MAN</a> V12 engines developing a total of 3,100hp, which propel her to a top speed of 16 knots and a cruising speed of 11 knots.

A new yacht brand called GX Superyachts has been unveiled 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> in Port Hercule. With a range of aluminium yachts spanning from 24-metres to 56-metres in length, the brand’s first 42-metre model, the GX42 RPH, is currently in-build. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/329927/image/large-156a8d236f953dbd5298652e1af5cc01.jpeg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/329927">GX Superyachts is described as “the brainchild of the team behind <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/7839" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Greenline Yachts (Company)">Greenline Yachts</a>”, a brand that has already been producing yachts under 58-feet for over 15 years.&nbsp;The team harnessed that same experience to provide pioneering hybrid propulsion, a smart hull design, and solar charging for this new range. GX Superyachts is equally committed to <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/7839" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Greenline Yachts (Company)">Greeline</a>’s ethos of responsible yachting, and will strive for eco-friendly yachting through <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/7839" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Greenline Yachts (Company)">Greenline</a>’s unique serial hybrid drive and powerful solar arrays that comprise part of the yacht’s structure. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/329928/image/large-67a2f74c94e373c85173ecc433f06600.jpeg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/329928">“Our journey started with <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/7839" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Greenline Yachts (Company)">Greenline Yachts</a>, where we pioneered the world’s first serial production hybrid yacht over 10-metres back in 2008,” commented yard owner Vladimir Zinchenko. “With more than 1,000 yachts delivered globally, <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/7839" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Greenline Yachts (Company)">Greenline</a> has been at the forefront of innovation in the boating industry. Throughout that time, we have tried to further our vision of responsible yachting - from sourcing raw materials right through to the operation of the yacht itself.”Andrea Armas has been appointed by GX Superyachts as consultant to the Board of Directors. Armas stated, "I am backing GX Superyachts because I admire their ambition and vision. My goal is to help the team translate their decade-long experience in hybrid recreational boat building into the highly regulated superyacht sector." <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/329925/image/large-8dc7d907fd9eac0055bce16a1a2f3659.jpeg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/329925">The goal to expand upon <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/7839" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Greenline Yachts (Company)">Greenline</a>’s commercial and environmental success in the industry first came about during the Monaco Yacht Show 2018, when <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/7839" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Greenline Yachts (Company)">Greenline</a>’s all-electric 9.99m yacht received attention from His Serene Highness Prince Albert II of Monaco, who requested an escort to the Monaco Yacht Club in the boat.&nbsp;“Each yacht in our GX Superyacht range is equipped with our innovative hybrid propulsion system, allowing for both efficient electric cruising and powerful diesel performance when needed,” explained Chief Commercial Officer, Luca Raumland. “At 6 knots in electric mode, these yachts can achieve an incredible range of up to 100 nautical miles. In diesel mode, they can cross the Atlantic at 12 knots, while the max range is 11571 nautical miles at six knots. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/329924/image/large-951b4eb280110b5c5249acfd2c95f7ba.jpeg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/329924">In addition, the GX range strives to have 40 percent fear carbon emissions than that of a conventional yacht. Similarly to <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/7839" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Greenline Yachts (Company)">Greenline Yachts</a>, GX Superyachts are developed to bear an intricate solar array as well a large lithium battery bank, which pair together to allow the yacht to lie silently at anchor for upwards of 48 hours. Throughout this time, full hotel systems including aircon run off the batteries without the need to fire up a generator. Consequently, the vessel is free of noise, vibration or smell from combustion.Construction of the first 42-metre GX42 is underway, as the keel laying ceremony took place on 1 June 2024, and more than 50 percent of her hull has already been welded. The yacht is due to be delivered to her owner in 2026. GX signed with custom specialist <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/1556" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="SES Yachts (Company)">SES Yachts</a> of Tuzla, Turkey, in order to build their aluminium yachts. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/329919/image/large-24a838b9c891ba017c93fbfcb44104d7.jpeg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/329919">"There’s no better time to launch this project than now, as we mark the 50th anniversary of our activity,” said Elif Yıldırım, Managing Partner of <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/1556" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="SES Yachts (Company)">SES.</a> “We embrace custom and semi-custom projects, and the new GX Superyachts range plays perfectly to the skills we have in house. What’s more, we understand and share the principles behind the brand, being a family-owned business ourselves and just as concerned about sustainability. Collaboration on the first model has been very smooth, and we are looking forward to building more yachts with GX.”<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/329921/image/large-1a01923c335e286ab94157426e3c48af.jpeg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/329921">The sleek exterior design of the GX range was imagined by <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/4335" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Marco Casali Too Design (Company)">Marco Casali</a>, who marries a practical low-profile superstructure with generous interior volumes.Two variants of each model are on offer, with the Coupé version displaying a long, curved superstructure roofed with gleaming solar panels, which slide apart at the touch of a button to expose a huge hidden sun deck containing a Jacuzzi and bar. Meanwhile, the RPH version is defined by a large flybridge with a notably contemporary aesthetic, as well as a volume of 353 GT. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/329923/image/large-a2223a5ceca86196c7fbaf1cedcaca82.jpeg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/329923">Casali was also enlisted to create the interiors, which boast a “natural, harmonious progression” all the way from the main saloon to the flybridge, according to the brand.The yacht’s bathrooms are decked out in Antonio Lupi porcelainware and Dornbracht faucets, while her loose furniture hails from Poltrona Frau and Rugiano, and Foglizzo leathers and natural wood flooring by Cadorin are present throughout. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/329922/image/large-144198ea8d2564205ac82c684cfe74aa.jpeg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/329922">“Our studio has long worked with <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/7839" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Greenline Yachts (Company)">Greenline Yachts</a>, so we understood exactly what the new GX Superyachts brief required,” stated Marco Casali, founder of <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/4335" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Marco Casali Too Design (Company)">Too Design</a>. “I am proud of the way we have reinterpreted the timeless looks of the smaller yachts to give soul and purpose to the lines of the new superyachts. And it is a real pleasure to be responsible for both the exterior and the interior, which results in a really harmonious finish. The challenge around sustainability is particularly close to my heart.”When it comes to the technical blueprint, Francesco Rogantin of <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/2051" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="NAMES by Francesco Rogantin (Company)">NAMES</a> has penned an underwater long, slim hull that optimises both stability and speed potential. This means the GX superyacht delivers efficiency between her maximum speeds and cruising speeds. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/329928/image/large-67a2f74c94e373c85173ecc433f06600.jpeg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/329928">“It felt like a very natural partnership with GX Superyachts, who knew exactly what they wanted: a hyper-efficient and stable displacement hull,” concluded Rogantin. “The challenge was to analyse the different operational scenarios and ensure that the hull and appendages performed to their best for each one. We deployed a powerful suite of tools to achieve this.”GX Superyachts also announced a new line of yachts to join the GX42 RPH, including the GX34 Coupe, the GX34 RPH, the GX42 Coupe and the GX56 Coupe, which boasts an impressive 499 GT of interior volume.

Images of the yacht are yet to be revealed, but <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/29" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Feadship (Company)">Feadship</a> describes the yacht as having “an unforgettable profile” and “broad expanses of glass.”<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/329791/image/large-7f882fce8a7f2ee33c1af50e034c565e.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/329791">Due to her expansive use of glass, the interiors of C are illuminated by natural light, to create a fluid living space for guests onboard. The exterior design of C also blurs the lines between her decks, with her fore and aft sections offset by a half-level to create a smooth transition between each space.Senior Designer Rudd Bakker's inspiration for the concept involved witnessing the Amsterdam diamond cutting workshop of Gassan Diamonds in order to "learn how the facet patterns draw light into the stone, reflecting and magnifying it," according to the shipyard. &nbsp;<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/329796/image/large-8a5869f60433644aca84b5efce4c492e.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/329796">Other design innovations onboard Care the partially enclosed lower deck sea lounge that can be used at anchor or underway, a beach club with sea-level dining, a duplex owner’s suite and an articulating crow’s nest rising from a private observation deck.The superyacht's elevator is notable in that it creates a seamless transition between floors through a central court that keeps "them visually and literally connected like a three-dimensional chess board", <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/29" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Feadship (Company)">Feadship</a> explained.&nbsp;<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/329801/image/large-5537bceb9be1be4cf09c1f78f730fab1.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/329801">In terms of exterior deck spaces, C is equipped with a pair of infinity-edge hexagonal pools, which aim to match the shapes of her various seating arrangements and atrium. “There’s nothing rough about this diamond in <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/29" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Feadship (Company)">Feadship</a>’s concept collection,” explained <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/29" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Feadship (Company)">Feadship</a>. “As with all <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/29" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Feadship (Company)">Feadship</a> concept yachts, C is completely researched and buildable.”Forward of the sea lounge, a gym and separate full-featured spa are located, each of which are complete with opening terraces. Situated opposite is an unusual sea-level dining room off of the lower lobby, which is also fitted with a broad opening terrace on the sea for seaside dining.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/329802/image/large-cf970bd038c06b16868bd8602da34e43.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/329802">C will also showcase Feadship’s next evolution in adaptive technology, with a command centre positioned on the lower deck between her crew area and beach club. This fully digital operation and navigation hub includes the latest in intelligent situational awareness technology, with cameras and data fusion.Sporting a length of 75-metres, C’s flared bow pays tribute to the designs of the late Frits de Voogt, whose craftmanship of <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/29" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Feadship (Company)">Feadship</a> bows still lives on in the Dutch shipyard's creations today. &nbsp;<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/329798/image/large-fb97fe7145a19a3246dcad16ea0b317a.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/329798">“This layout and the smaller single-level engine room, supported by the fuel cells, maximises prime owner and guest space, creating more value to an owner within the same gross tonnage,” added <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/29" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Feadship (Company)">Feadship</a>.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/329795/image/large-87fa1fd195c7be9222850291ea2a71a2.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/329795">Based on her hull shape and fully-electric propulsion system, C is an evolution of the <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Article/35229" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="New Feadship future concept Breathe unveiled in Monaco (2010-10-06 00:00:00 +0200)">Breathe</a> concept announced at Monaco Yacht Show 2010 and <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/29" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Feadship (Company)">Feadship</a>’s 83.5-metre superyacht <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/5598" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Savannah83.5m (273'11&quot;)Feadship2015">Savannah</a>, which was launched in 2015.Mirroring <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/29" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Feadship (Company)">Feadship</a>'s interest in sustainability, C’s faceted exterior and angled windows along with wide side deck and stern overhangs work to reduce the heat generated by expanses of glass.

<a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/54" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Heesen Yachts (Company)">Heesen Yachts</a> has unveiled the 62-metre Monte Carlo&nbsp;yacht project, the latest addition to its Steel Fast Displacement Hull Form series, 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>.

"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. It also has a methanol-ready tank layout for future conversion to hydrogen combustion or even a fuel cell. Monte Carlo is powered by twin 1,500 kilowatt <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/1409" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="MTU (Company)">MTU</a> engines with a range of 16 knots and 4,500 nautical miles.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/329287/image/large-6105faff0ba68bbd7053e881b898e3cd.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/329287">“We see that our owners are increasingly interested in minimising their environmental impact,” added Peter Van Der Zanden, <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/54" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Heesen Yachts (Company)">Heesen</a>’s General Manager for Design &amp; Development. “By planning the yacht around tried-and-tested green solutions, we are helping them make good decisions that don’t add much time and cost to the build.”

One of Essence 125’s standout features is her sundeck flybridge, which not only functions as the yacht’s control centre, but also a sunbed for guests to admire panoramic views.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/329201/image/large-803394bc471136dedbaf2173b61e4fbe.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/329201"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/329206/image/large-c3666d81b4caaec1b1ffa6866e0f6468.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/329206">Developed to be both “lightweight and robust” according to <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/7578" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Tribale Yachts (Company)">Tribale Yachts</a>, Essence 125 is fully constructed in carbon fibre, reinforcing her reduced weight, while augmenting her performance and fuel efficiency without sacrificing structural strength. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/329207/image/large-42526c4523f0e95822cdb84f05678510.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/329207">&nbsp;While the flybridge is a standard feature, clients can opt for the ability to pilot the yacht from her sundeck, so that they have the opportunity to drive from an elevated position in the sunlight. Further sunlight can also be found on the sundeck flybridge, where large sunbeds and a seating arrangement pave the way for relaxation. &nbsp; <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/329210/image/large-102dce1ff9e305ac0c1ac62b2e77a2bb.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/329210"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/329208/image/large-3d458b67bf2aeff68d30efaecb8b3501.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/329208">Essence 125's aft section is also customisable, and can house a beach club in place of the pool, or store a tender and several water toys during navigation. The model also offers numerous configurations of the space at the front of the helm, which can function as a tender garage, a spacious storage area, or be converted to a lounge with an optional Jacuzzi, depending on owners' wishes. Moreover, a generous storage space for toys and additional equipment can &nbsp;be found in this section, which is accessible from the stairs located between two cockpit sofas. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/329204/image/large-349a149b15205490929d556af7df4222.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/329204">Moving to the lower deck, clients can choose to configure this space to host as many as five guest staterooms in addition to crew quarters. Alternatively, the deck can be customised to feature three or four staterooms alongside a meeting room, making the vessel well-suited to onboard business or work. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/329203/image/large-8dc9842441da29eb5ba12ce2f8afc36b.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/329203">Performance-wise, the Essence 125 is powered by either triple or quadruple <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/1441" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="MAN (Company)">MAN</a> engines, or with <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/1441" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="MAN (Company)">MAN</a> Sustainable solution with Hybrid Zero Emission mode.

UAE set to make major investment in Egyptian coastal megaproject

The UAE is poised to make a substantial direct investment in a new megaproject along Egypt's Mediterranean coast.  

The superyacht industry is often portrayed by mainstream media as slow to innovate or adapt to environmental challenges. However, this perspective overlooks numerous initiatives and organisations at various levels, from international to local, that actively facilitate a more sustainable approach among all stakeholders within the industry.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/237001/image/large-34661eb661037cedcc9fa816ea2839c9.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/237001">Stakeholders in the superyacht industry have been actively involved in promoting and implementing sustainability projects through regulatory compliance across various aspects, from cruising operations to construction infrastructure and supply chains. The following sections detail the leading organisations such as the Sea Index, the <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/5877" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Water Revolution Foundation (Company)">Water Revolution Foundation</a> and YETI and their projects, highlighting their active role in promoting a sustainable future.International Maritime OrganisationIn 2016, the United Nations' International Maritime Organisation (IMO) implemented Tier III of the IMO NOx regulations, aimed at significantly reducing nitrogen oxide emissions (NOx) from vessels. These stringent regulations call for a reduction of approximately 70 percent in NOx emissions compared to the Tier II standards, marking a substantial step towards environmental stewardship.For the superyacht sector, the implications of these regulations are profound. Starting from 1 January 2016, every large yacht exceeding 500 gross tonnes and equipped with diesel engines over 130 kW has been required to comply with these rigorous standards. In 2021, the scope of these regulations broadened further, encompassing yachts under 500 gross tonnes but over 24-metres in length overall (LOA). This expansion ensures a wider application of the environmental standards, pushing the superyacht industry towards broader compliance and enhanced sustainability efforts.Superyacht Eco Association IndexIn 2020, Credit Suisse and the <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/4337" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Yacht Club de Monaco (Company)">Yacht Club de Monaco</a> introduced a significant innovation with the launch of the Superyacht Eco Association (SEA) Index. Developed in partnership with <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/5" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Nobiskrug (Company)">Nobiskrug</a>, the SEA Index is designed to measure and rate the environmental impact of superyachts, spanning areas such as propulsion systems, energy recovery, and waste management. This initiative marks a pivotal step toward transparency and accountability in the industry, providing a robust tool for assessing air pollution emitted by these luxury vessels. The Index aspires to evolve into a globally recognized standard, offering ecological ratings that could inspire a broader commitment to sustainability across the industry.The SEA Index operates as an online, customisable tool that allows yacht owners and industry stakeholders to perform 'no obligation' self-assessments of their emissions. If these assessments meet the SEA Index's stringent criteria, owners can then opt for an official audit to obtain a SEA Flag and an SEA rating. Such features underscore the Index's role not only as a benchmarking tool but also as a catalyst for change, pushing for lower emissions and cleaner operations. The initial launch was met with enthusiasm, as it provided yacht owners with a clear insight into the environmental efficiency of their vessels, evaluated on a 0-5 scale. This transparency is crucial in an industry often scrutinised for its environmental footprint.Recognising the need for wider applicability and greater inclusivity, the SEA Index expanded its scope in subsequent phases. The second phase saw a collaboration with <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/1452" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Lloyd's Register (Company)">Lloyd’s Register</a> to incorporate more propulsion systems and alternative fuels, broadening the assessment criteria to accommodate a greater variety of yachting operations. The third phase further advanced the project by including smaller yachts, specifically those below 400 Gross Tonnage and over 25 metres in length, thereby covering a larger segment of the industry.Most recently, in 2024, the SEA Index expanded its reach to marina operations. It has been deployed in 15 marinas located in strategic yachting hubs like Menton, Saint-Tropez, and Bonifacio in Corsica. This move not only amplifies the Index's impact but also aligns with broader environmental goals, helping marina operators and yacht owners alike to gauge and subsequently reduce their carbon emissions. As the SEA Index continues to set new standards for sustainability, it offers a promising path forward for the yachting industry, one that aligns luxury with environmental responsibility.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/119359/image/large-1fae816de8b77f36e3d1ab53bc6299b0.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/119359"><a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/5877" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Water Revolution Foundation (Company)">Water Revolution Foundation</a>&nbsp;and Yacht Environmental Transparency IndexAnother organisation at the forefront of promoting environmentally sustainable practices within the industry is the <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/5877" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Water Revolution Foundation (Company)">Water Revolution Foundation</a>. Established at The Superyacht Forum in 2018 by a group of industry leaders, the Foundation aims to foster collaborative efforts among stakeholders to enhance sustainability in the industry.The <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/5877" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Water Revolution Foundation (Company)">Water Revolution Foundation</a> adopts a constructive and collaborative approach, aligning with international scientific and institutional agendas. It equips the superyacht industry with essential tools, knowledge, and best practices.

The taskforce serves as a collaborative platform where designers and naval architects unite to advance sustainable luxury and leisure for yacht owners. By facilitating the sharing of knowledge, fostering collaboration, and encouraging innovation, the taskforce aims to deeply integrate sustainability into yacht design and operations.In 2024, another project was launched: the first version of the environmental guidelines for crew, officially released by the <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/5877" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Water Revolution Foundation (Company)">Water Revolution Foundation</a>.

<a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/7538" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Christian Oliver Design (Company)">Christian Oliver Design</a> has unveiled the details of the 59-metre superyacht concept, ‘Concept Fifty-Nine’, which features “idyllic exterior proportions” and “teardrop-shaped” hull surfaces, according to the studio. &nbsp;<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/331720/image/large-7dea66a7b46ffd5bd6a889d5b28ece1f.png" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/331720"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/331716/image/large-2fa62ee5bb6cdd9c55f28911b207dc37.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/331716">Developed to carry the key features associated with larger vessels, Concept Fifty-Nine boasts an estimated volume of 900 GT. “I feel like the 55 to 60-metre range is often overlooked as many buyers leap over the 500 GT barrier, they immediately move into a boat over 60-metres,” designer <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/7538" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Christian Oliver Design (Company)">Christian Oliver</a> explained.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/331717/image/large-3c8a552539192d660e821ec1ad97221b.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/331717">In terms of accommodation, Concept Fifty-Nine contains five staterooms on the lower deck, one of which is a full-beam VIP suite. Moreover, an owner’s suite can be found on the main deck and is complete with both a private office and spacious walk-in closet. With a beam of 10.3-metres, the superyacht also has room to host crew members in six cabins on the lower deck, as well as in the captain's cabin on the full walk-around bridge deck. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/331713/image/large-68c3060d816b1a127ee94608aa5c501d.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/331713">“What makes this project unique is that it was conceived simultaneously as an interior and exterior styling exercise. Rather than build to a governed length, I let the length reveal itself after the spaces were established.”“The idyllic exterior proportions are meant to disguise the wide-beam high-volume shape with a timeless silhouette that also exudes a fresh, modern feel,” <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/7538" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Christian Oliver Design (Company)">Christian Oliver</a> continued. “The highly sculpted hull surfaces have a teardrop shape inspired by classic runabouts.” <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/331712/image/large-aacab9461b4a19519e06168010b91637.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/331712">One of Concept Fifty-Nine’s most notable traits is her generous aft beach club, with a 1.2-metre deep pool that has the option to be heated up. The pool is situated close to the water level, so that guests can immerse themselves in the surrounding seascape. Meanwhile, the port and starboard integrated seating in the side hulls, bustles for those onboard to unwind.&nbsp;From here, the aft door leads to a vast beach club with a bar at the forward end of the pool, creating a ‘swim-up’ effect. The beach club is also decked out with a fitness area, dayhead, and changing room. Moving to the sundeck, a unique cinema space is fitted with lounge seating, which can rotate to face the screen for cosy movie nights. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/331715/image/large-abcc84938e682df0928ef976f5ce7009.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/331715">Two 7.3-metre tenders are stored forward on Concept Fifty-Nine’s bow, thereby ensuring there is plenty of aft space for guest entertainment. Expansive window openings are present across all three of the superyacht’s decks for a seamless connection between the interior and exterior.&nbsp;Regarding her performance, Concept Fifty-Nine can reach an estimated cruising speed of 14 knots and a top speed of 16 knots, depending on the propulsion system. “The current engine room position and layout is for a traditional pair of mains, but there is opportunity to use an alternative propulsion method,” <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/7538" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Christian Oliver Design (Company)">Christian Oliver</a> concluded.&nbsp;<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/331714/image/large-b8673ed59daad587730f7794efd81265.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/331714">

The application, filed on 26 September 2024, encompasses not only the marina but also its associated Estuary restaurant and sailing club, all under the ownership of the same holding entities."We voluntarily filed for Chapter 11 to preserve and protect the assets of the project, allow the necessary time to maximize our value for the benefit of our creditors and are working with numerous interested parties and welcome other parties who may be interested in the project to work towards a sale that will maximize our return to creditors and put the project into good hands to continue the work we have begun," said a <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/7878" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="ONE15 Brooklyn Marina (Company)">One°15 Brooklyn Marina</a> spokesperson to <a href="https://www.superyachttimes.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="">SuperYacht Times.</a> <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/331041/image/large-41069672ff930cbb2ceee0128653db8f.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/331041">Situated beside Pier 5 in Brooklyn Bridge Park, the marina serves as a vital hub for water access, accommodating a diverse array of vessels from superyachts up to 91-metres in length to historic boats and small sailboats. It also provides a variety of boating programs including a sailing school, children's activities, and kayaking lessons for the community. The marina is managed by the Singapore-based SUTL Group and owned by SUTL Investments Pte, according to <a href="https://businessbankruptcies.com/cases/one-edge-marina-finance-company-llc" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="">Business Bankruptcies</a>.&nbsp;This decision follows a prolonged period of financial difficulties, which originated from extended delays in construction, and ongoing operational challenges at the marina, reports <a href="https://businessbankruptcies.com/cases/one-edge-marina-finance-company-llc" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="">Business Bankruptcies</a>. "The ONE15 operations team came together through the lengthy build process and subsequent challenges due to COVID," also noted the marina spokesperson.Local media have attributed many of the marina’s structural issues to inherent challenges at its location. Situated at the strategic intersection of New York Bay, the East River, and tidal flows from the Hudson River, the site has consistently posed difficulties for marina operations. Even before the development of Brooklyn Bridge Park, this area was historically known as a problematic location, due to complications with pier construction and the need for effective wave abatement.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/331042/image/large-36078af544beed36645b734d9c586078.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/331042">By filing for Chapter 11, the owners aim to reorganise their debts while maintaining ongoing operations. <a href="https://businessbankruptcies.com/cases/one-edge-marina-finance-company-llc" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="">Business Bankruptcies</a> data shows that the court has sanctioned the joint administration of the bankruptcy cases for the marina, the restaurant, and the sailing club, allowing them to continue operating as separate entities. Led by principal Estelle Lau and represented by the law firm Kirby Aisner &amp; Curley, the ownership group seeks to negotiate with creditors and secure a buyer for the marina and its associated enterprises. The entities involved in these proceedings include <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/7878" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="ONE15 Brooklyn Marina (Company)">One°15 Brooklyn Marina</a>, One°15 Restaurant (also known as Estuary), One°15 Sail Club, and One Edge Marina Finance Company, says <a href="https://businessbankruptcies.com/cases/one-edge-marina-finance-company-llc" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="">Business Bankruptcies</a>."We believe that the marina, sail club and food and beverage programs are an important feature of NYC’s waterfront and the challenges we face demonstrate the need for commitment of the community as a whole. But we remain certain that our vision can be achieved and look forward to the next chapter of the project," affirmed the marina to <a href="https://www.superyachttimes.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="">SuperYacht Times</a>. "We continue to offer an unparalleled boater experience in NY Harbor and to accept transient boats into the marina. We plan to seek Court approval to facilitate a sale process for the business to transition the project into the best hands to guide this newest addition to New York’s waterfront as seamlessly as possible," concluded the spokesperson.This article was first published on 2 October 2024 and updated on 8 October 2024 with comments from the marina.
