<a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/5771" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Optima Design (Company)">Optima Design</a> has unveiled their redesigns for the Amer F 106 and 96 Sanremo motor yacht models. In addition, the <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/1364" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Permare s.r.l. (Company)">Permare</a> Amer 120 model is being replaced by the 38.4-metre Amer 126 model.&nbsp;The studio began a collaboration with the Amerio family four years ago, when they designed the steel and aluminium Amer line ranging from 40 to 74-metres in length. While a 70-metre yacht and a 50-metre yacht are currently under construction, <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/5771" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Optima Design (Company)">Optima Design</a> has now redesigned the new F 106 model, F 126 model, the 96 Sanremo model and a full-aluminium L 146 model. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/336815/image/large-84bd414d0f979f2b07c00164fc55a78f.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/336815">The Amer F 106 model&nbsp;The first of the redesigned models is the 32.3-metre Amer F 106 yacht, which is already under construction and slated for delivery in 2026. Like the Amer F 126 yacht, she is composed of a fibreglass hull, while her deck is in basalt fiber that functions as a recyclable material, using ecological resins and recycled PET for core.&nbsp;Staying true to the signature traits of the shipyard’s latest creations, the Amer F 106 yacht displays a similar full-beam width to the previous 120 model, paving the way for a larger saloon. From the outside, her exterior silhouette displays a maximum height window at the saloon’s entrance for far-reaching views of the outdoors. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/345575/image/large-7daccb3221099f53505b64bf0917b9f7.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/345575">Furthermore, her exterior areas are also developed to maintain contact with the sea, flowing from the stern’s sunpad to the side stairs which connect the main deck to the fly deck.On her flybridge, the Amer F 106 yacht includes a sunbathing area at the stern, while another sunbathing area can be found in front of the wheelhouse, evolved with reverse glass for sun protection as well as improved visibility.&nbsp;Read:&nbsp;<a data-gid="gid://syiq/Article/61951" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="From idea to delivery: Antonio Luxardo on Optima Design's DNA (2024-11-08 15:45:00 +0100)">From idea to delivery: Antonio Luxardo on Optima Design's DNA</a>Indoors, the motor yacht’s main deck contains a full-beam saloon, a full-beam owner’s suite, and a port side galley, offering the option for two side terraces amidships. Remaining guests are accommodated on the lower deck, where four staterooms and a crew area can be found. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/345573/image/large-455ab316a73fc9239e5e3f2457730a9b.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/345573">The Amer F 106 yacht’s tender is housed in a stern garage. Composed of an aluminium superstructure and performance hull to reduce consumption and emissions, the yacht is propelled by Volvo Penta IPS engines. According to Antonio Luxardo of <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/5771" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Optima Design (Company)">Optima Design</a>, “Energy-saving systems are the starting point, which is very important, first saving energy and then trying to produce zero impact.” <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/345586/image/large-4c837a0ef19026c7310b9f18c527dabd.jpeg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/345586">The Amer 96 Sanremo model Similarly to the Amer F 106 yacht, the Amer 96 Sanremo yacht is designed with a fibreglass hull and aluminium superstructure. Described by her designer as a “sporty and fast boat”, she is powered with triple IPS engines.&nbsp;The motor yacht’s main deck is home to a saloon and four staterooms for accommodating those onboard. On deck, a large foredeck area and a spacious sundeck provide alfresco entertainment and relaxation.This yacht is furnished with a seating arrangement on the aft, which connects with the aft cockpit. Meanwhile, two stairs lead the way from this space to the 10-metre-long sundeck featuring sunbathing areas, a dinette and a wheelhouse. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/345587/image/large-4532024585b34d8688fbadf7577c9fca.jpeg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/345587">“The products are the result of the technical and sales experience of the family, so we have to transfer all the information including customers' needs into the project. For them we follow the whole process from the blank sheet to delivery, we have a team of technicians that we move to the shipyard to develop the executive project according to the needs of production, a very significant point of our work,” Luxardo explained.

"Our extensive expertise ensures unparalleled quality, utilizing advanced sandwich composite construction with epoxy-based vinylester resin and vacuum infusion techniques. Additionally, unidirectional carbon reinforcements are strategically placed in high-stress areas, as well as along the stringers and structural floors,” Corazza added. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/345082/image/large-6db0ff55ccab5008ab79489de8aabedf.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/345082">The GS Plus 80 LC’s hull is characterised by narrow bow sections that allow easy entry in the water despite the conditions of the sea.

Should owners want a more traditional configuration, the Grand Soleil Plus 80 is also available in a single-rudder form.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/345084/image/large-08e0683b5524840c0316243205eccabf.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/345084"><a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/8039" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Matteo Polli Yacht Design (Company)">Matteo Polli</a> commented: “Designing the hull lines for an 80-foot yacht is a challenging task, made even more complex by the variety of system configurations an owner might choose.

The newest edition similarly provides a total of 4,000 horsepower with waterjet propulsion, while offering owners the possibility of a customisable layout. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/344455/image/large-990f00395be500970b3c855f9025ea1d.png" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/344455"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/344477/image/large-4b7867bf5b2cafe11bb3d299961854f8.png" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/344477">“Consistent with the concept underlying the Smart Performance line, SP92 combines the characteristics of a performant yacht with unprecedented livability of both interior and exterior spaces. This model also highlights <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/374" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Sanlorenzo (Company)">Sanlorenzo</a>'s ongoing commitment to sustainability, one of the key growth drivers we have identified to solidify our leadership in the industry,” Antonelli continued. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/344463/image/large-fb4027db02b4c05287cbf1b03b89e030.png" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/344463">One of the SP92 yacht’s most standout elements is her aft section, comprising a beach area of nearly 45-square-metres. This area’s retractable door hides the garage, which has the capacity to house a tender at a maximum length of 3.95-metres. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/344452/image/large-80e3edb5eec6a2b53459cf498215332b.png" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/344452">The SP92 yacht’s deck is nearer to the water for a synthesis between guests and the outdoors, whereas her superstructure has been configured for the installation of solar panels. Moreover, the yacht’s antennas have been placed in a concealed location in order to support the panels' efficiency.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/344469/image/large-b57a606b1ae10c7a65a37acd7943cdbd.png" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/344469">“SP92 represents a crucial strategic step in bringing the vision of the Smart Performance range to life. The boat confirms all the aspects that have already been highlighted aesthetically in the SP110 - minimalism and clean lines aiming for a formal synthesis,” explained Bernardo Zuccon of <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/105" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Zuccon International Project (Company)">Zuccon International Project.</a> <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/344456/image/large-4eb63681d1fa1a4c1603f089f93de4c1.png" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/344456">The superstructure’s expansive perimeter windows are developed with a special laminated glass composition that shields those on the inside from UV rays. In addition, the large aft window provides access to the yacht’s interior living spaces, which span across four decks.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/344465/image/large-59692ef4d01a7a80e25ed65b32dcfbdd.png" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/344465">“The only distinguishing feature is the stylistic element that defines the SP's design language: the copper-colored blade that runs along the upper edge of the superstructure, characteristic of the range, is more extended in the SP92, adding further sportiness and balance to the boat. This stylistic feature serves as the most distinctive hallmark of the entire SP fleet, infusing it with energy and a strong identity,” <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/105" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Zuccon International Project (Company)">Zuccon</a> added. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/344458/image/large-b729f2295dc64a272a7979c5f8fc400d.png" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/344458">The motor yacht’s first level is home to a lounge that can be furnished in several different ways, while the deck above contains the central living space flanked by large windows, one of which is sliding for outdoor access.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/344467/image/large-2d3a4522c7034f1216edfaaf7fe864bb.png" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/344467"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/344471/image/large-f6f5c9beb81eb90b9009b38063a2e582.png" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/344471">Moving to the deck above, a short corridor paves the way to the guest accommodation, consisting of a full-beam owner’s suite at the bow, and two twin guest staterooms aft on either side, each with an ensuite bathroom.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/344468/image/large-a434f1e6e6804f7e1e186e10fca05c23.png" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/344468"> <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/344460/image/large-ee3835e5963224575dff152d5a261f38.png" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/344460">When following the same corridor towards the stern, guests are met with a fourth level, which can be arranged into a playroom, cinema or another stateroom. In both variants, the space includes an ensuite bathroom.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/344461/image/large-91105e2b77eacbd6d1e2a596c94071e0.png" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/344461">“SP92 is a floating piece of architecture with very well - balanced dimensions . It’s like a beautiful motor boat stretching over 90 feet and has the same drivability and speed as a motorboat but with the livability and architecture of a large yacht. SP92 is a cross between a large motorboat and a vast beach. There are spaces that combine, with double height areas, connections between the deck, – which is at water level – and the rooms, as the interior blends with the exterior and vice versa,” enthused Piero Lissoni of <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/78" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Lissoni & Partners (Company)">Lissoni &amp; Partners / Studio Lissoni</a>. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/344462/image/large-b911b41fd3230ff0fc2ba80b5008c70b.png" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/344462">Performance-wise, the SP92 yacht 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> engines that propel her to a cruising speed of 35 knots and a top speed of 40 knots. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/344450/image/large-6a4069ed3491c00e4199d16e52b89927.png" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/344450">Furthermore, the Italian shipyard <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/374" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Sanlorenzo (Company)">Sanlorenzo</a> has addressed the notion of sustainability in their approach to constructing the new SP92 yacht model, stating, “The unique hull geometries allow the optimisation of the resistance coefficient at commonly used speeds, thereby minimising fuel consumption.” <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/344459/image/large-0ffc3b6f95167ad01e0921f05a4b23a9.png" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/344459">“For the photovoltaic system on the superstructure, a new ultra-high-efficiency monocrystalline cell was used, providing an average of about 3 Kilowatt peak per hour, which is stored in the service battery pack, ensuring all hotellerie functions are maintained while anchored. All this allows the SP92 to consume about 12-13 percent less at cruising speed than the same boat built with conventional production processes and traditional materials. The overall result is a ‘Smart Performance’ yacht that, as much as possible, guarantees environmental protection,” <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/374" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Sanlorenzo (Company)">Sanlorenzo</a> concluded. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/344454/image/large-bbf11a096ab2d26f396c58ffd385d321.png" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/344454">

Although the Numarine 45XP’s layout can be adjusted depending on owners’ wishes, the project’s proposed configuration involves large saloons and a capacious owner’s suite with direct access to a private bow area. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/337500/image/large-429432439d9f7d4f3927577a7b93af7e.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/337500"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/337501/image/large-1d3261ce5865889d285378dbc58788c3.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/337501"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/337503/image/large-7f3249ac80b289c0ec7696e9cd931b9e.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/337503">“We’ve tried to layer multiple uses within the same spaces to foster greater social interaction. That led to creating convivial spaces that are especially suitable for families with members of different ages who wish to spend a lot of time together while perhaps engaging in different activities,” Lumini offered. “The saloon becomes a true piazza, with some lounge areas, others dedicated to dining, and still others to cinema – all contained within the same general space, independent yet united," he said.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/337502/image/large-e63d7ac91626ff739687a60925c47b7b.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/337502"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/337507/image/large-d0dfaedb926ce6e803dd2107e5e55ac9.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/337507"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/337510/image/large-cd1d0179d2c2cfa515bc693d380a0aaa.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/337510">As seen in the renderings, the <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/908" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Hot Lab (Company)">Hot Lab</a>-designed interiors are decked out in finishes including walnut, oak, leather and travertine, which are married to organic and geometric visual cues throughout. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/337489/image/large-3196ef7ab353359f943e83918153dfd5.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/337489">“They also don’t believe it’s essential for the interiors to strictly follow the exterior style, especially for highly successful yachts like ours that are produced in numerous units,” Malaz added. “Although they do try to highlight the best points of interaction between interior and deck – the windows, the connection to the outdoors, and the visual unification of spaces," he said.&nbsp;<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/337487/image/large-41f64c96dba8b477e499abafc3f03d99.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/337487">Besides displaying an intricate colour scheme and selection of materials, the interiors place an emphasis on juxtaposition; the grey-sand shade of oak contrasts with burgundy leather, while the texture of the ceiling panels contrast with the yacht’s walls. “This fusion of styles is perhaps the most distinctive hallmark of this yacht,” Lumini enthused.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/337486/image/large-05fa725affad8da8b7713bc6ee50089b.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/337486">In addition to her aesthetics, the Numarine 45XP is also conceived to be high performance, boasting a projected trans-ocean range of 6,000 nautical miles for long voyages with livable conditions onboard.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/337498/image/large-16a337d6d3506a5e20edd24b01b375df.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/337498"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/337495/image/large-f29c613f75b9c8c2eff89fd869ec703d.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/337495">In terms of her performance, the Numarine 45XP 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> engines that propel her to a cruising speed of 12 knots and a top speed of 16 knots. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/337485/image/large-4dcf88ef734d5a08effb8ff9e452b797.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/337485">“Our new flagship is a further evolution of everything we have done, and embodies the design experience and construction quality we have honed over numerous projects.

Additionally, the flybridge features reverse glazing across the exterior profile for far-reaching views, accessible from the aft deck via two carbon-fibre exterior staircases.The second version of the model, known as the AB95 S, embodies the characteristics of a ‘racing car’, catering to owners who prioritise speed on the water, with a technologically advanced propulsion system. Her exterior silhouette consists of sinuous, athletic lines, coupled with a seamlessly integrated convertible roof top. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/335647/image/large-6d4f34f8a66770fe3ce2b9de70f659aa.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/335647">“Both models share a number of elements that are deeply rooted in the brand’s DNA, such as ease of manoeuvre, efficiency (particularly at high cruising speeds), the absence of any vibrations, and maximum safety at all times,” <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/1205" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="AB Yachts (Company)">AB Yachts</a> continued.&nbsp;Furthermore, both AB95 models are characterised by a synthesis between indoor and outdoor living areas, while all interior spaces can be customised to meet the owner’s wishes. Thanks to a limited draft of only 1.2-metres, the AB95 is well-suited to accessing a range of shallow and remote waters.&nbsp;“This model embodies a new style of cruising – powerful, safe, efficient, noiseless, and immensely fascinating,” Capasso enthused. “We are certain the AB95 is going to meet, and exceed, our owners’ wishes and requirements.”&nbsp;<img src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/335636/image/large-6dd68b8f57163231f701cf203b8fe538.png?X-Amz-Algorithm=AWS4-HMAC-SHA256&amp;X-Amz-Credential=AKIA52TLVJASOPFTPHWY%2F20241101%2Feu-west-1%2Fs3%2Faws4_request&amp;X-Amz-Date=20241101T091933Z&amp;X-Amz-Expires=900&amp;X-Amz-SignedHeaders=host&amp;X-Amz-Signature=7a2a8873c9b118b9c137f0ee5275ff27010c139d27e28b3e5cdb9edadc4328af" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/335636">Maiora&nbsp;Exuma 36The 36.90-metre <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/536" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Maiora (Company)">Maiora</a> Exuma 36 model features exterior design by <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/2116" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Quartostile (Company)">Quartostile</a> and interior styling credited to <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/5224" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Acube Design (Company)">Acube Design</a>.

M51 Concepts has revealed the inner workings of a new 70-metre superyacht concept titled Addition. 


Introducing Addition: The 70m superyacht concept by M51 Concepts

Originally from the coastal town of Byron Bay, in Australia, Captain Liam Devlin’s upbringing revolved around the ocean. Surfing, fishing, diving, and spending time aboard his grandfather’s small fishing boat taught him “the joys of being present at sea,” he shared in an interview during the <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Event/263" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Antigua Yacht Show - 2024">Antigua Charter Yacht Show</a>. While his grandfather educated him on themes ranging from weather and planning to provisioning, “both my father and grandfather inspired me to become a yacht captain and to always strive for self-improvement, with a focus on giving back to others and the environment,” he shared.Captain Liam Devlin became captain of the 58.22-metre <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/106" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Trinity Yachts (Company)">Trinity Yachts</a> motor yacht <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/118" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Unbridled58.22m (191'0&quot;)Trinity Yachts2009">Unbridled</a> in 2022, shortly after the yacht was purchased by a new owner. <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/526" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Northrop & Johnson (Company)">Northrop &amp; Johnson</a> sought a captain to transition the yacht from private to charter ownership while maintaining high standards. “There are many great captains in this industry, and I’m honoured by the challenge. I love showing guests the luxury side of yachting, building a strong crew, and especially embracing the challenge of creating a top-tier charter programme. The yacht, owner, and brokerage are the perfect fit for my management style,” he shared.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/346528/image/large-f37bb740a3b9af58619fbad0e442bf16.jpeg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/346528">Though not the first visit to Antigua for <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/118" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Unbridled58.22m (191'0&quot;)Trinity Yachts2009">Unbridled</a> or her Captain, this year marked the yacht’s first participation in the charter show. Indeed, “the yacht has been around the world and has a long history as a successful, independent expedition yacht with a private owner. However, with her new owner, there has been a shift towards charter,” shared Liam.The yacht boasts a diverse crew from Australia, the US, and South Africa, each with second skill sets—whether diving, silver service, cocktail expertise, or wellness qualifications. “A crew is not just assembled but carefully built over time to foster a culture of safety and guest satisfaction. Our crew has been exceptional over the past two to three years, and I continue to build on that foundation with each change. We also have a family of temporary or freelance support to accommodate specific needs. For example, for an upcoming dive charter, we’re bringing back two experienced dive instructors.”<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/341674/image/large-b2f47ca66b72f4c075ada62997f5d6a5.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/341674">As a well-travelled and proven expedition yacht, <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/118" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Unbridled58.22m (191'0&quot;)Trinity Yachts2009">Unbridled</a> allows the crew to take guests to remote locations with exceptional standards of service. “Recently, we chartered in Panama and Colombia, including the San Blas Islands, known for their stunning island chains. Guests also enjoy Maine, where the scenery is unparalleled, and it’s not uncommon to go weeks without encountering another large yacht.”While Captain Devlin acknowledged the challenge of comparing their programme directly with others, he emphasised that <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/118" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Unbridled58.22m (191'0&quot;)Trinity Yachts2009">Unbridled</a> focuses on creating tailored experiences for each guest. “This means understanding their needs and encouraging them to relax, feel safe, and truly enjoy the moment. Whether it’s high-adrenaline adventures or simply unwinding on deck with a refreshing juice, we cater to a wide range of preferences. From diving and wellness treatments to fine dining, our world-class crew ensures every guest receives exceptional service.”<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/346533/image/large-42aa52228b6bb13cec1f1985f35e28d4.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/346533">Popular amenities aboard <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/118" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Unbridled58.22m (191'0&quot;)Trinity Yachts2009">Unbridled</a> include the yacht’s sixth staterooms, which can serve as additional accommodation or a luxury day spa, gym, or wellness centre. “Our watersports and diving programme are also very popular, and we’ve recently become an accredited PADI dive centre, allowing us to cater to divers from beginners to advanced. Personally, I love sharing fishing trips or underwater conservation activities, like lionfish spearing and coral restoration.”<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/346532/image/large-3561cdd70baa0840bc22129408580866.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/346532">Diving is a key feature of <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/118" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Unbridled58.22m (191'0&quot;)Trinity Yachts2009">Unbridled</a>, designed as an expedition diving platform with all the necessary gear, including compressors for nitrox and oxygen, plus 17 sets of diving equipment. “My love for diving stems from growing up in Byron Bay, where I developed a deep appreciation for the underwater world. Guests can experience this in places like the Bahamas, the Mediterranean, and other beautiful dive locations. Our dive destinations this year have included the Bahamas, Turks and Caicos, the British and US Virgin Islands, Panama, and Colombia. Even the Mediterranean has incredible spots, such as deep dives, wrecks, and coral structures. Belize and Roatan are also top picks, with the Blue Hole in Belize being a dream dive site, and Roatan offering both easy entry-level and more advanced dives alike.”<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/346534/image/large-30c05e598584552c891d3a03c6a56d7f.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/346534">Looking ahead, Captain Devlin shared his ideal itinerary would likely be in the South Pacific, particularly the Solomon Islands, known for their rich history, stunning environment, and amazing diving. “But personally, I also love places like Nova Scotia, Newfoundland, and the Great Lakes in Canada. I’ve done the Northwest Passage and seen Greenland and Iceland start to open up, offering truly unique experiences. I believe in the cruise ship-style approach, where after dinner we check the weather and, if it’s good, make a smooth passage to a new location overnight. Guests wake up to a fresh experience every day, which is something I really strive for.”<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/346535/image/large-1d8abf300aea5c36efdfdbce8992d577.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/346535">Reflecting on memorable moments during his tenure as captain of <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/118" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Unbridled58.22m (191'0&quot;)Trinity Yachts2009">Unbridled</a>, one highlight was when they chartered through the Panama Canal, hosting a spa and wellness day for their guests, and a treasure hunt on a remote island. “The guests’ excitement as they finished the hunt was unforgettable,” he shared. Another memorable moment was winning Crew of the Month in November. “Recognising the crew’s hard work is incredibly rewarding, and I’m proud to support them as they contribute so much to the yacht and the industry,” he said.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/346536/image/large-fe22317995508ff3d84d2ba62a8a036b.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/346536">In closing, Captain Devlin shared his passion for his role, stating that being a captain requires much more than just steering the yacht. “We’re ensuring the safety and comfort of everyone on board, creating unforgettable experiences, and contributing to ocean conservation. People sometimes underestimate how much captains care about their work. It’s a job that requires passion, attention to detail, and a commitment to the crew, guests, and the environment.”This article was first published in the <a href="https://yachtchartermarket.com/" target="_blank">YachtCharterMarket Newsletter</a>, the weekly newsletter on all things charter. <a href="https://yachtchartermarket.com/" target="_blank">Visit the website</a> to read past editions, or <a href="https://yachtchartermarket.com/" target="_blank">subscribe</a> to never miss an issue.
