<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 shared renderings and details on their new 36.7-metre superyacht concept named Project Connoisseur. The superyacht, according to the designer, embodies classic styling and is inspired from 1950's Italian runabout inspired shapes.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/365859/image/large-67175d67feb3d4ddb9ed4404eebddee6.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/365859">Envisioned for an owner who wants to explore smaller ports and bays, Project Connoisseur is designed to look proportionate despite her size. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/365868/image/large-8335441f298094a736f2263425def54b.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/365868">“My objective was to design a retro-contemporary raised pilothouse yacht that comfortably fits five guest staterooms into a reasonably sized package without sacrificing style,” <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/7538" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Christian Oliver Design (Company)">Christian Oliver</a> said.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/365854/image/large-870c457c5c8fa4c1402f1e806cafba6a.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/365854"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/365864/image/large-4434edf7011bc0124986bf60f3b7495b.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/365864">The arrangement of the superyacht showcases a forward-facing owner’s stateroom on the main deck. This stateroom is equipped with port/starboard doors, creating a “breezeway” which allows fresh air to enter the stateroom.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/365857/image/large-2c224a4adf3aae784c28f902e880d02d.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/365857">The main deck also features a flexible galley-dining area. The galley is designed to be connected to the dining space, allowing guests to interact and see between the two areas, however, if privacy or separation is desired, a roll-down shutter can be used to close the galley. The dining space is also equipped with port/starboard for proper air ventilation.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/365866/image/large-a3e12431cae9be2a0ec648ba71c60f95.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/365866">Meanwhile, four guest staterooms are located on the lower deck. These staterooms are all equipped with oversized hull windows to provide passageway for natural light and allow views of the surrounding waters at the same time.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/365858/image/large-e789e9126cfb78cb30ec651991c081ef.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/365858"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/365865/image/large-249a9a68ed4fe0dba668f16ad6cb7963.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/365865">The stern is one of the superyacht’s highlights, blending aesthetics and functionality. It resembles the sloping transoms of vintage runabouts, giving the yacht a timeless look. The swim platform is designed to be always accessible in both scenarios that the transom door is held up or down.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/365856/image/large-78bb48b0d892f77094e51a5e1ad4f5db.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/365856"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/365867/image/large-1470d31275904f69bdf5f870436703b4.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/365867">The sun deck is also a haven for enjoying various activities onboard. This is an area intended for guests to bask under the sun’s rays by sunbathing, enjoy alfresco dining or simply relax by the ample lounging arrangement. The roof on the sun deck is also designed to be retractable, allowing further versatility.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/365860/image/large-5bae0a87c02bf2c5a8db2df39d1ab223.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/365860">The renderings featuring other variations on colours and painting will be available to view at this year’s <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Event/271" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Monaco Yacht Show - 2025">Monaco Yacht Show</a>. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/365855/image/large-ca4900744afe7cafc9d959580a2a7352.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/365855">

These vessels effectively extended the reach and capabilities of superyacht operations by serving as floating bases for helicopters, submarines, tenders, water toys and additional crew.According to <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/8873" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Strategic Marine (Company)">Strategic Marine</a>, the vessel is aimed at a new generation of owners who prioritise experiential travel, social and environmental responsibility, and adventure rather than traditional displays of wealth.Measuring 42-metres in length overall, the yacht support vessel offers more than 140-square-metres of deck area, alongside crane and lift capabilities.A key aspect of the design is her adaptable platform. The owners and captains can expect a flexible platform that can accommodate a wide range of equipment and operational needs, including emergency responses which expands her role beyond conventional yacht support operations.Reinforcing her versatility, the support vessel can also be configured with gyro stabilisation systems for comfort and efficiency, alongside hybrid propulsion solutions tailored to owner and mission requirements. Additional specifications, including speed, beam and draft, remain customisable according to client requirements.“This vessel represents a natural evolution of <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/8873" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Strategic Marine (Company)">Strategic Marine</a>’s expertise in advanced aluminium vessel construction,” commented Chan Eng Yew, CEO of <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/8873" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Strategic Marine (Company)">Strategic Marine</a>. “As the superyacht sector continues to grow, we recognised a clear opportunity to deliver a support vessel purpose-built for the pleasure craft market – one that meets the quality our clients have come to expect from us, with the reliability and performance our vessels are known for.”<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/395401/image/large-865a52c8ebd228ff9bf16c70468eaf81.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/395401">Andrew Taylor, Managing Director of <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/8875" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Southerly Designs (Company)">Southerly Designs</a>, added: “Our focus was to create a vessel that is both highly capable and visually distinctive. This collaboration has enabled us to push design boundaries while maintaining the practicality required of a modern yacht support vessel.”<a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/8873" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Strategic Marine (Company)">Strategic Marine</a> is recognised for its construction of high-performance aluminium vessels, while <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/8874" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="MAG Subsea Pte Ltd (Company)">MAG Subsea</a> provides yacht management, custom yacht design and maritime services throughout the Asia-Pacific region. <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/8875" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Southerly Designs (Company)">Southerly Designs</a> contributes many years of naval architecture experience, with more than 650 commercial and specialist vessels currently operating around the world.The 42-metre yacht support vessel is currently available for order, with <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/8873" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Strategic Marine (Company)">Strategic Marine</a> targeting owners seeking a capable expedition support platform for global cruising programmes.

According to the studio, the layout is particularly arranged for adventure and exploration between remote destinations.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/394471/image/large-2e540f2de26684220ef1e5c41d9f69cf.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/394471">Founded in 1974, <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/879" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Humphreys Yacht Design (Company)">Humphreys Yacht Design</a> (HYD) is a British naval architecture and yacht design studio led by Rob and Tom Humphreys, where they have established decades of racing yacht heritage alongside experience in trans-oceanic design, delivering vessels for private clients and yacht brands including <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/1097" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Oyster Yachts (Company)">Oyster</a> and <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/5248" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Arksen (Company)">Arksen</a>.

<a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/1343" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="ER Yacht Design (Company)">ER Yacht Design</a> has unveiled its new 40-metre explorer yacht concept, ER 40. Designed by the studio’s president, Ivan Erdevicki, the concept moves away from the heavy commercial styling often associated with expedition yachts, instead presenting a cleaner and more sculptural profile.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/394458/image/large-c20868048f3065b6a4406c5e46f500d9.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/394458">This approach is reflected in her sleek exterior lines, which balance strength with practicality. Key design features include long horizontal glazing, a bold and distinctive bow, carefully balanced proportions and a strong superstructure.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/394467/image/large-d55ed8d9002cc545a6f4c914166a65d0.png" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/394467"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/394457/image/large-050aa9fbe153140b0719bac71458dc4e.png" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/394457">“The result is a yacht that follows the current direction of modern lifestyle-driven explorers, but does not depend on short-term trends. Her proportions, stance, and overall character are intended to remain attractive for many years,” the design studio commented.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/394468/image/large-b8b6d3b371091132f1467f73de9251b7.png" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/394468">Designed for Mediterranean cruising and island hopping, she is tailored to deliver a relaxed onboard experience with generous aft deck spaces. Guests can enjoy everything from waterside lounging and alfresco dining to tender operations and water sports activities. Meanwhile, the bridge deck and flybridge provide private areas for entertaining and taking in open views.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/394466/image/large-3f071a5ff7077ead473fdce517620e34.png" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/394466">Forward deck spaces offer guests several outdoor areas to enjoy rather than relying on one main social hub. This creates a more comfortable lifestyle onboard, particularly during extended cruising.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/394465/image/large-4a9367542e0ba80371321ea07d410722.png" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/394465">Moving inside, guests are welcomed by a warm and calming interior designed to create a comfortable residential atmosphere with a close connection to the water. Generous windows fill the spaces with natural light, while natural wood finishes, soft neutral fabrics, stone surfaces, darker gloss accents and carefully integrated lighting contribute to the yacht’s refined and tranquil feel.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/394464/image/large-124c080115bfb7855cdff2d487fe764a.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/394464">“The intention is not to create an interior that feels over-designed, but one that feels inviting, refined, and easy to live with. Open social spaces, well-proportioned guest cabins, and a private owner experience are all part of the overall concept, with comfort, views, and daily usability kept at the centre of the design,” the studio added.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/394462/image/large-afce8186b0b6f368418f14348d188ec3.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/394462">The design features a beam of 8.3-metres and a draft of 1.9-metres. From a technical perspective, the design offers a high degree of flexibility and can be further refined around the owner’s onboard lifestyle preferences. This includes the chosen propulsion package, hull form requirements, classification society regulations, range targets, fuel capacity, crew arrangements and tender storage.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/394463/image/large-30fb607c39d83133044ffdd7d9fab137.png" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/394463">“ER 40 represents the <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/1343" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="ER Yacht Design (Company)">ER Yacht Design</a> approach at its best: technically grounded, visually distinctive, and focused on turning a strong design idea into a yacht that can become a real, memorable, and lasting project,” the studio concluded.

In contrast to her aggressive forward profile, her design softens into fluid slopes framed by sharply defined edges.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/393703/image/large-89a8d58e8f27e71075895d8b8f9a8551.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/393703">The owner commented on this design: “My wife and I love elegant and essential style, nothing unnecessarily flashy and disconnected from practicality, this is the initial input we gave the architects,” explained the owner.What began as a single regatta experience in the Mediterranean during the 1990s gradually evolved into a lifelong passion for exploring the sea. Together with his wife, the owner moved from summer cruising in Liguria to increasingly ambitious voyages aboard larger yachts, eventually realising they needed a true explorer yacht.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/373962/image/large-f76faa94ca66a6cac29b462b7f6fade6.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/373962">Their search led them to <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/2354" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Cantiere delle Marche (CdM) (Company)">CdM</a>, whose craftsmanship and shared vision immediately resonated with them.

In May 2021, the boat was launched and I remember how great the emotion we felt when we boarded the first time, we organized our maiden voyage in Greece and we fell in love with her.”The RJ 155 project came to life in collaboration with the shipyard over the course of roughly a year, just a few months after the RJ 130’s maiden voyage.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/393706/image/large-4d2a214398c0c926b38522f232a642a6.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/393706" style="box-sizing: inherit; border: 0px; font-family: &quot;Open Sans&quot;, sans-serif; position: relative; max-width: 100%; margin: 1rem 0px; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 13.6px; font-style: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; white-space: normal; text-decoration-thickness: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; text-decoration-color: initial; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">Designed for an active, adventurous lifestyle, Francesco emphasises that the exterior has been conceived to create a seamless connection between indoor and outdoor spaces. To enhance this relationship, the gunwales along the main deck have been lowered towards the stern, opening up uninterrupted views to the sea. Generous storage has also been integrated for toys and equipment, ensuring practical functionality and supporting longer-range voyages and remote exploration.“It invites adventure without sacrificing elegance, showing how thoughtful design can redefine what a superyacht is and what it can be,” said the designer.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/393708/image/large-365eb9380cc3bacf1497cf22aac0a499.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/393708" style="box-sizing: inherit; border: 0px; font-family: &quot;Open Sans&quot;, sans-serif; position: relative; max-width: 100%; margin: 1rem 0px; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 13.6px; font-style: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; white-space: normal; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); text-decoration-thickness: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; text-decoration-color: initial;">Set against her exterior, the interior is conceived to evoke a sense of calm and clarity, shaped for Northern European owners who are passionate collectors of contemporary art. The owner’s brief called for a design that would reflect their cultural heritage: minimalist, but not ‘cold’.Salvagni explains: “From this brief, I developed what I call a ‘soft minimalism’: a language of natural gestures, curved lines, and gentle transitions, where every surface feels both essential and emotionally resonant.”<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/390456/image/large-3b5403dd1c6854004f41c33c53b57025.png" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/390456" style="box-sizing: inherit; border: 0px; font-family: &quot;Open Sans&quot;, sans-serif; position: relative; max-width: 100%; margin: 1rem 0px; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 13.6px; font-style: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; white-space: normal; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); text-decoration-thickness: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; text-decoration-color: initial;">He incorporates Japanese wood essence ‘light koto’, which brings a warm, near-butter tonality to the material palette. Throughout the yacht, softness is carried through curved panels, while the visual flow is occasionally interrupted by organically inspired forms. These elements emerge like coral branches from the ceiling, with handles evoking octopus tentacles and cabinetry where lighting appears to grow naturally from its base.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/390457/image/large-b46d7d207157d94dc8b966e29c3bdab2.png" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/390457">This design language continues into the main saloon, which serves as the heart of social connection onboard. The saloon flows directly aft into the cockpit, which transforms into an expansive swim platform sheltered by protective side wings. Moving forward from amidships, there is a spacious galley to port with an adjoining pantry, followed by a foyer leading to the dayhead and onward to the owners’ suite, which also incorporates a generous gym.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/390455/image/large-081b9c57b781a77aac4ec848f75f983b.png" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/390455" style="box-sizing: inherit; border: 0px; font-family: &quot;Open Sans&quot;, sans-serif; position: relative; max-width: 100%; margin: 1rem 0px; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 13.6px; font-style: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; white-space: normal; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); text-decoration-thickness: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; text-decoration-color: initial;"><a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/12374" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Parati46.71m (153'3&quot;)Cantiere delle Marche (CdM)2025">Parati</a> can accommodate up to 10 guests across five well-appointed staterooms, with four guest suites located on the lower deck. The layout comprises three double suites and one twin suite, while crew accommodation is provided in four dedicated cabins.The upper deck also provides generous spaces for guests to lounge and dine, with a spacious aft terrace designed for open-air dining. Forward, the wheelhouse serves as the yacht’s fully equipped command centre. Above, the sundeck is dedicated to social gatherings, featuring a modern bar that serves as the central hub of the deck.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/393707/image/large-e2930bf01957499d8b3253a10d2ac23b.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/393707" style="box-sizing: inherit; border: 0px; font-family: &quot;Open Sans&quot;, sans-serif; position: relative; max-width: 100%; margin: 1rem 0px; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 13.6px; font-style: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; white-space: normal; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); text-decoration-thickness: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; text-decoration-color: initial;">According to the captain, although the owners were very satisfied with their first RJ yacht, they requested a fully bespoke approach for the new build. They prioritised extensive storage, including large refrigeration and freezing capacity, a water purification system to minimise reliance on plastic bottles, and advanced waste management solutions such as a vacuum system and refrigerated garbage room to ensure high standards of hygiene during extended voyages.In terms of propulsion, <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/12374" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Parati46.71m (153'3&quot;)Cantiere delle Marche (CdM)2025">Parati</a> is powered by twin <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/1408" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Caterpillar Inc (Company)">Caterpillar</a> C32 engines, each delivering 895 kilowatts, enabling a top speed of around 15 knots.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/373946/image/large-edf85a89da2f99cf648cb7709d2bc9e3.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/373946">“Being entrusted for the second time by such an experienced yachtsman is a source of great pride for our shipyard and everyone has worked tirelessly to ensure the owners enjoyed their new yacht as scheduled in summer 2025,” Vasco concluded.

The design enables close inshore navigation and access to reef systems, with the designer describing her as being ‘for adventure, for the search.’With a low-draft, long-range platform, Shogun measures 9 metres in beam with a 2.5-metre draft and a sub-500 GT envelope, enabling access to shallow reefs and remote anchorages. These characteristics make her particularly well suited to tropical exploration and surf-led itineraries.<img src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/393750/image/large-eaa8d7a7ae0eb898dc3fd3d6d45e8de2.png?X-Amz-Algorithm=AWS4-HMAC-SHA256&amp;X-Amz-Credential=AKIA52TLVJASOPFTPHWY%2F20260518%2Feu-west-1%2Fs3%2Faws4_request&amp;X-Amz-Date=20260518T060306Z&amp;X-Amz-Expires=900&amp;X-Amz-SignedHeaders=host&amp;X-Amz-Signature=0c4e0ba93bdaf01cc3e6b9bfb233435ad913d4f641bc4f3378803f3a5584509f" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/393750">Her interior is defined by coastal minimalism and restrained luxury, with extensive glazing allowing the surrounding seascape to dominate the experience. The result is an environment designed to dissolve boundaries between interior and exterior, making her equally suited to remote surf destinations and Mediterranean cruising.Accommodation onboard Shogun is arranged for 10 to 12 guests, with a crew of eight. Her layout includes two main salons with an optional full-beam sky lounge configuration, while social spaces extend across open-air dining and lounge areas. A dedicated beach club aft, complete with hull-side openings and a transom platform, ensures direct and fluid connection to the sea. Completing the concept is a custom Salt A44 chase boat, designed by Salt Yachts.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/393748/image/large-9f71c2fecc4a0de852304bd14add643b.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/393748">In terms of performance, she is powered by twin propulsion, delivering a top speed of 15 knots and a cruising speed of around 10 knots, balancing efficiency with long-range capability. A curated selection of water toys, stored both above and below deck, further reinforces her exploration-focused mission.

Her main saloon has been completely redesigned to create a more versatile social environment. Meanwhile, a new starboard-side staircase enhances access to the raised dining area.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/393312/image/large-3a0bf1d570438f6fc8fc44cb2d626e7e.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/393312">As seen in the newly released images, the refreshed interior introduces a warm atmosphere, with expansive wraparound glazing filling the main saloon and guest spaces with natural light. Softer-lined headliners and teak detailing inspired by the sailing world further refine the yacht’s contemporary aesthetic.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/393306/image/large-bba9620c7aad0e86905cc501ded78f4b.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/393306"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/393305/image/large-a7e8f3e459499dbd32cd26f91412abd8.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/393305">While preserving the defining identity of the wallywhy range, the updated configuration aims to enhance onboard liveability, maximise openness and strengthen visual connections with the surrounding seascape.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/393309/image/large-22898bbb779912bd1bab3e21c04b19b8.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/393309"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/393308/image/large-bba9ff4da9cbfad426e98f877a5ebd67.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/393308">Joining the wallywhy150 on display will be the wallywhy100, which translates the defining characteristics of the wallywhy concept into a more compact platform while maintaining the range’s emphasis on continuity and close interaction with the sea.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/393341/image/large-ddd5e51de73be913902ff95a9564b0d1.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/393341"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/393338/image/large-1bccf1d30e55e0782c43743d84af5dd9.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/393338">“Ahead of the summer season, the <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/166" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Wally (Company)">Wally</a> Live Days once again stand out as a unique opportunity to turn interest into experience and discover the excellence and ongoing evolution of the <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/166" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Wally (Company)">Wally</a> range,” concluded the company.

<a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/1805" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Pastrovich Studio (Company)">Pastrovich Studio</a>, a Monaco-based architecture and yacht design studio, has unveiled the first details of X_LINEA, its new 70 to 80-metre superyacht concept developed as a “formal and philosophical response” to contemporary superyacht design.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/393035/image/large-170d4373bcb6081b6c23c8480d3865f3.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/393035">Conceived by architect and yacht designer <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/1805" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Pastrovich Studio (Company)">Stefano Pastrovich</a>, the concept emphasises curvature and elegance, purposefully distancing itself from “rigid and almost ruler-drawn geometry” that dominates much of the modern superyacht market. According to the studio, the concept has been conceived for owners seeking “elegance and individuality", rather than overt display of wealth.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/393038/image/large-05efc4dc5410db0ea3a30e685542836b.png" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/393038">At the core of the project is a single continuous curve running from bow to stern, from which the entire exterior profile has been derived. As expressed by the studio, the line was inspired by the surface of the sea in absolute calm, creating a profile intended to appear in proportion to the water and uninterrupted across the yacht’s full length.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/393034/image/large-ac8975c301c6e6cf110ed2b769b4296d.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/393034">Rather than relying on layered decks or overt styling gestures, X_LINEA adopts what <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/1805" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Pastrovich Studio (Company)">Pastrovich</a> describes as a “design language based on subtraction”, in which surfaces and proportions are simplified to emphasise balance, clarity, and confidence.“With X_LINEA, I wanted to remove everything that was not necessary,” explained <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/1805" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Pastrovich Studio (Company)">Stefano Pastrovich</a>. “The project is not about adding a new shape to the sea. It is about finding the one line that was already there.”<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/393031/image/large-4079f8edf2de672098234ef046f797a9.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/393031" style="box-sizing: inherit; border: 0px; font-family: &quot;Open Sans&quot;, sans-serif; position: relative; max-width: 100%; margin: 1rem 0px; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 13.6px; font-style: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; white-space: normal; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); text-decoration-thickness: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; text-decoration-color: initial;">The exterior’s graceful curves flow into an interior defined by “emotional minimalism.” Here, the studio prioritises atmosphere and texture over decorative excess, using a sophisticated palette of soft pink, gloss white, navy blue, and blonde teak. This visual identity is designed to foster a sense of serenity, calmness, and warmth.Furthermore on the interior, the yacht presents an aesthetic that balances architectural precision with emotional softness. Massive lounge areas are framed by sculptural forms, expansive glazing. Glossy timber finishes are complemented by oversized cream sofas, soft pink carpeting and integrated ambient lighting and ceiling details.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/393033/image/large-e95cdb531ecb5070674992b2513d56ca.png" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/393033">The visual identity of X_LINEA evolves the signature style <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/1805" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Pastrovich Studio (Company)">Pastrovich</a> established with the Wallypower 118 and Fiart P58, both embodying elongated proportions and highly-tensioned curves.Moreover, the concept has been forged as a coherent family across both 70- and 80-metre platforms, preserving the same design language and proportions throughout the range.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/393037/image/large-48891c0f66125649a32a45ddcab06b00.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/393037">The 70-metre version features a beam of 11.2-metres and an estimated interior volume of 1,200 GT. The larger 80-metre platform will have a beam that expands to 12.2-metres, with an interior volume of approximately 1,700 GT. Both editions are projected to achieve a maximum speed of 18 knots and a cruising speed of 14 knots.

<a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/6700" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Centouno Navi (Company)">Centouno Navi</a> has unveiled the first details of its 23.95-metre Aria 80 yacht, a semi-custom model currently under development, marking the Italian shipyard’s expansion into the larger yacht segment. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/392374/image/large-6dff4c49dd584d34d866d14d4edefdba.png" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/392374" style="box-sizing: inherit; border: 0px; font-family: &quot;Open Sans&quot;, sans-serif; position: relative; max-width: 100%; margin: 1rem 0px; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 13.6px; font-style: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; white-space: normal; text-decoration-thickness: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; text-decoration-color: initial; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">Conceived as a high-speed platform, the Aria 80 aims to push the boundaries of its size category. With the option of twin or triple <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/1441" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="MAN (Company)">MAN</a> engines paired with MJP waterjets, the vessel is expected to reach top speeds of up to 60 knots, making her among the fastest yachts of its class.Aria 80 has a beam of 6.20-metres and a draft of 1.20-metres, allowing it to flexibly cruise areas such as the French Riviera. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/392373/image/large-3ed95c3fa436512c26f7330ee0d68a30.png" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/392373" style="box-sizing: inherit; border: 0px; font-family: &quot;Open Sans&quot;, sans-serif; position: relative; max-width: 100%; margin: 1rem 0px; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 13.6px; font-style: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; white-space: normal; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); text-decoration-thickness: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; text-decoration-color: initial;">Central to the concept is the use of new lightweight construction solutions: carbon and glass hybrid fibres with sandwich structures to reduce overall weight while maintaining structural strength. According to the yard, the hull would be approximately 30 percent lighter than yachts of her level. This not only optimises her performance but also aims to improve her fuel efficiency and range, while reducing environmental impact.Furthermore, in terms of propulsion, the Aria 80’s MJP waterjets are expected to be quieter, more fuel-efficient and safer for the marine environment. This is complemented by a hull form that reduces resistance and wakes, supporting both performance and environmental considerations.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/392371/image/large-b9b65a6847d8a9420f3ed9cc24df0317.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/392371">On the exterior, Aria 80’s design language draws inspiration from cars. She features flowing surfaces, dark glazing and a low, streamlined profile. Her silhouette is deliberately compact yet dynamic, with a continuous superstructure seamlessly connecting into the hull. This creates an impression of speed even when the yacht is at anchor.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/392369/image/large-5e9db770712e4071a3bd641f2908187a.png" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/392369">A key focus of Aria 80’s design is outdoor living. A wide and open aft deck leads to a beach club which connects the guests to the water, while fold-out terraces expand the space for more usable space to gather in. Additionally, flexible seating and lounging areas encourage socialising and entertaining. The upper deck is configured as a sport cockpit, where the helm station is paired with lounge seating creating a more informal yet driver-focused layout.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/392375/image/large-d2ab4b7e25c3f26951be9d44fff27b04.png" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/392375" style="box-sizing: inherit; border: 0px; font-family: &quot;Open Sans&quot;, sans-serif; position: relative; max-width: 100%; margin: 1rem 0px; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 13.6px; font-style: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; white-space: normal; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); text-decoration-thickness: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; text-decoration-color: initial;">Inside, the Aria 80 embraces a contemporary design with an open-plan layout focused on flexibility. A full-beam main deck maximises her sense of space, while large glazed windows let in natural light and the panoramic ocean views. As a semi-custom platform, both the layout and finishes can be tailored to the owner’s preferences, allowing a high level of personalisation.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/392370/image/large-885fcbcb25d44a35d7cd91156259dfd9.png" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/392370" style="box-sizing: inherit; border: 0px; font-family: &quot;Open Sans&quot;, sans-serif; position: relative; max-width: 100%; margin: 1rem 0px; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 13.6px; font-style: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; white-space: normal; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); text-decoration-thickness: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; text-decoration-color: initial;">Accommodation onboard the yacht is arranged for up to eight guests, alongside quarters for two crew members. She also features a tender garage for a craft up to three metres, reinforcing the design’s focus on lifestyle.

I had to wear really inappropriate things; these little mini shorts, a plain, old white t-shirt handed down from a previous stewardess. It felt misaligned serving guests from the fashion world in a basic t-shirt, but at the time there were no other options.When I left that, I thought, okay, there's a real need here; and I had the desire to do it. I started working with some old clients and it grew from there. It was really about trying to create something more modern to reflect the industry, because I was working with such elite people in these amazing environments, and what I was wearing was just not.How has the company evolved over the last 15 years?&nbsp;Fundamentally, we've always been a really creative-centred business, and I like to think that’s often why clients like to work with us as it is at the heart of what we do. We’ve evolved to offer more than just the uniform itself, we offer design and styling as well as providing creative solutions. It’s not just about the product we’re making, it’s about the entire package, but we did start off making our own production in the UK from small runs.Gradually, we’ve grown into having our own factories in Europe, and now worldwide. As we expand, we’ve continuously improved the quality of our production, which is an area I’m passionate about. We aim to ensure there is balance with a premium product at a fair price point so that our uniform is accessible for all clients and every size of vessel.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/394662/image/large-8d5002bd261d469ba3da0980258df44a.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/394662">15 years gives you a lot of experience, we’ve learned a lot, made a lot of mistakes, figured out what does and doesn’t work. Now we know all of those trap doors, all the things that didn’t work or fabrics which should work in theory, but don’t; or what a factory really means when they say we can meet your deadline! This insight allows us to be more honest when meeting client expectations.Lots of different people have contributed to where we are today, which I'm ever thankful for. Now we're bigger, we have more specialist roles: we have a garment technologist and talented designers, which enables growth, but fundamentally we still carry that same mentality that we’re a small brand who are passionate about delivering service excellence and feel accountable for our client’s projects. Our focus now is delivering those values to our clients on a larger scale.Delivering such a wide range of services isn’t always easy. We’re aware we could simplify business by only offering our ready-to-wear range and produce in higher volumes at lower prices - but that’s not where our passion lies. Our expertise drive lies in ensuring each client’s requirements are considered and translating their briefs into a full uniform concept.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/394654/image/large-92c269f0e510b6de9d20eb2e125f9e10.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/394654">Your approach is centred around transparency, what does this mean and how is this incorporated in your workflow?Transparency isn’t easy, and we don’t always get it right, either - our industry is notoriously difficult regarding transparency, but we aim to be and we’re improving year after year.It starts with looking at what a client is hoping to achieve and whether that is actually achievable. It’s challenging to say ‘no, you can’t have what you want within the budget you want’. It’s our job to be realistic about what is possible and that starts at the brief. We’re optimistic as a business, but we have to be realistic about whether you can deliver 50 uniforms with a personalised design in eight weeks, and sometimes the answer is no.It’s important for me to also be transparent and honest about when things haven’t gone right, because they never can 100 percent of the time. In our industry, it can feel like you’re swimming against the current, because information in a high pressure environment like ours is always challenging, and not everyone is well-equipped to receive that news. Yet if we receive fabric and it has a fault in it, then we have to say it’s faulty, we can’t use that. Or there is an issue with the courier, causing a delay, which isn’t always well-received.We are very communicative about where things are made and what fabrics we use; that whole supply chain is very clear. We’re very open about (potential) delays and timelines: when we say ‘yes, we can deliver that in a month’, then the client can trust that we really can.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/394661/image/large-120cf7582c49369cecdf00fba0ed3c39.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/394661">How do you ensure sustainability is a part of your production rather than an afterthought?Sustainability is part of the entire process, and it starts in the design stage. We make sure we are sustainable by ensuring the right products are picked, the right testing is done and the whole process is followed very carefully. The most unsustainable thing you can do is make the wrong choice, then, ultimately, a lot of wastage is created and there’s very little you can do with that.&nbsp;A product can be organic cotton, but if nobody likes wearing it or it doesn’t fit well, it won’t have longevity and will end up in the recycling landfill. The approach we take is to follow the entire production process really diligently and make sure everyone loves their uniform and that what we’re producing is 100 percent what the owner wants. Then we’re just doing top-ups and avoiding wastage - that’s our primary focus.&nbsp;When it comes to what we make, we source brands and have our trusted suppliers. We’re transparent with what we don’t supply, even if the order would be for thousands of items, we won’t accept it if it doesn’t meet our standards.&nbsp;Our production is predominantly in Europe and in low volumes, meaning we don’t have much wastage within each collection the way you do in lifestyle or fast fashion. For us it’s all about the longevity of a product onboard; lots of clients prefer organic cottons, but if you choose dark colours, they fade quickly and uniforms will have to be updated more frequently, in turn making it less sustainable.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/394653/image/large-08bd04899cab4b8fc6d969106a4b83c4.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/394653">What is your CREW Renew initiative?&nbsp;When you’re replacing a product or changing your style, there tends to be leftover product, especially in footwear. The whole concept behind CREW Renew is that we collaborate with our clients to repurpose the left over products. They can send us items, whether supplied by us or not with our REcycle, REpurpose, REpair or REwear offering to try which aims to reduce uniform waste. So whether the uniform is donated to charities, or repurposed into gifting items, we are extending the life-cycle of those garments and fabrics.The program ensures a sense of responsibility: if you’ve bought it, you’ve created the waste and you have to commit to do something with it.&nbsp;What are some key elements of designing crew-wear?&nbsp;When we’re designing, it’s a combination of technical gym wear for the movement and breathability, and something which is suitable for the luxury element of the yachting environment.&nbsp;We have a really great feedback loop, too. We have about three or four sample orders going out to clients every day, and we’re constantly collecting feedback, and we listen to it all: what fabrics are preferred, the ideal length, whether a pocket is in the right place. Part of our team are ex-stewardesses and they bring industry insight that is incredibly valuable in the design process. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/394660/image/large-7f3232b7392d0863690db46bc240bbde.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/394660">What makes&nbsp;<a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/4045" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Crew Ã  la Mode (Company)">Crew À La Mode</a>&nbsp;unique?The big thing for me is that we are female led. When I started 15 years ago, nearly everything was male-led, as well as it being heavily supplier-based. <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/4045" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Crew Ã  la Mode (Company)">Crew à la Mode</a> is a future focussed creative agency - we have our own design team and that’s the starting point of every project.&nbsp;All-in-all, it’s not just about the brand, it’s about everything we offer as an agency; that everything we offer in terms of concept design, project management, sustainability, onboard experience and insight - the all-round package. It makes the business model more challenging, but it allows us to keep close to our fundamental values.&nbsp;What ambitions do you have for the coming years?In the immediate future we are setting up our Amsterdam showroom. It’s an important step for us, as we’ve always been based in London, which is slightly disconnected from the industry. Until now that has been great; we’ve focused on what we’re doing and relying on good word-of-mouth. The new showroom is a step forward, to provide a space where crew can come see everything we have on offer and organise their uniforms in one day. It’s exciting to showcase our entire collection in a different way than we’ve previously done, creating an inspiring space. The plan is to eventually expand with multiple showrooms globally in Europe, the US and Middle East.
