The yacht has been developed to maximise efficiency while reducing emissions and onboard noise levels.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/395727/image/large-a4837ca59b87942deeb203ec6ef20a03.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/395727" 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);">Three operating modes have been proposed. In Zero Mode or also known as Silent Mode, M80 would operate fully on electric propulsion, delivering vibration-free navigation with zero local emissions for up to eight hours, which would enable access to environmentally protected areas.In Eco-Hybrid Mode, diesel generators operate at optimal efficiency while electric motors provide propulsion, reducing fuel consumption by an estimated 25 to 30 percent. Meanwhile, Boost Mode combines diesel and electric power to maximise performance when required.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/395731/image/large-33077a8f7a2790cde018026b550701fa.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/395731">Among its unique features, the M80 boasts an underwater “Nemo Lounge, giving guests a view into the ocean’s depths. In addition, an extensive array of tenders and toys supports exploration and adventure, including two 11-metre tenders, Jet Skis, aerial UAVs and remotely operated underwater vehicles for subaquatic discovery.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/395710/image/large-a74c0ecaa984d5a5b600f8054b710e24.png" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/395710">The concept also incorporates a range of sustainability-focused technologies, including glass elements with integrated photovoltaics, advanced heat‑recovery systems and compatibility with HVO biofuel, which the designers say can cut emissions by up to 90 percent compared with conventional marine diesel.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/395728/image/large-811c3e2ad5d43adb8b3999943f2c3651.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/395728">Outside, M80 is characterised by angular lines, tiered deck arrangements and a continuous band of dark glazing that stretches through most of her superstructure.

A touch-and-go helipad located on the bow supports rapid transfers of guests between destinations, while the yacht's relatively shallow 3.75-metre draught allows access to shallow cruising grounds.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/395718/image/large-aebceaa67499330e5bfd597898e7c678.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/395718">The owner’s private full-beam apartment is the highlight of M80’s guest accommodations.

<a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/8466" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Lagaria (Company)">Lagaria</a> has unveiled the 90-metre motor yacht concept Platea. Developed by Monaco-based yacht design and architecture studio <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/8466" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Lagaria (Company)">Lagaria</a>, Platea reconfigures the traditional yacht layout by minimising interior volume and placing emphasis on expansive exterior living spaces.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/395696/image/large-94a0a1cd747c02edba683d1e932fefe0.png" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/395696">Unlike most yachts, which prioritise enclosed volume, the design takes a different approach. &nbsp;Platea’s design compresses the indoor programme to free up the deck. This creates a floating beach club of unusual generosity, where the main deck becomes one continuous social landscape. In this area, an open-plan bar, lounge and dining space extends directly onto a large sheltered terrace complete with an oversized pool, Jacuzzi and full-service bar.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/395703/image/large-b3de0009761cfa44415a389b655c992e.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/395703">In terms of accommodation, guest staterooms are positioned on the lower deck. This decision reflects the designers’ intention to prioritise communal spaces over private volume. Since staterooms are used primarily for sleeping and bathing, this allows prime deck areas to be dedicated to social and experiential use.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/395702/image/large-c922893b880df550ce74538eaf7ab22a.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/395702">Moreover, the wheelhouse is located aft of midship, inspired by Scandinavian well-boat design. This opens up the central section of the yacht, creating an uninterrupted social zone, while still maintaining full operational visibility through wing stations. Platea’s owner also benefits from a private apartment with its own balcony. The stateroom is positioned aft for enhanced privacy and separation from guest areas.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/395697/image/large-46e1abf3cbcf2a55d9af45504a59ea42.png" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/395697">“These are not purely aesthetic decisions, but part of a broader commercial thesis,” said the design studio. “At approximately 20 percent lower gross tonnage than comparable 90-metre charter yachts, Platea is designed around the idea that experiential quality, not enclosed volume - is what ultimately drives charter demand.” By prioritising exterior living spaces, the design reinforces its focus on experiential value over internal volume.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/395695/image/large-940d9b0039e45cbf9fcf3287eeac9d05.png" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/395695">“Platea distills what defines <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/8466" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Lagaria (Company)">Lagaria</a> at its best: original thinking, a rigorous design logic, and a deep curiosity about the relationship between space and experience - pursued with respect for the sea and the operational realities that come with it,” the studio concluded.

<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.

Throughout his career, Adam has advised clients on significant yacht transactions, new build projects and refits, building long-standing client relationships and helping drive the commercial success of some of the industry's most respected brands. Widely respected for his discretion, strategic insight and meticulous execution, <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/8896" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Matterhorn Yachts (Company)">Matterhorn</a> reflects his belief that exceptional client outcomes are achieved through independent advice and deep market understanding.Joining him as Founding Executive and CCO is Kurt Fraser, a strategist, creative leader and international business executive whose career spans more than 25 years across the superyacht, luxury lifestyle, resort development and marina sectors. Throughout his career, Kurt has driven business transformation and contributed to the growth and commercial success of a number of leading yachting brands. He believes <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/8896" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Matterhorn Yachts (Company)">Matterhorn</a>'s performance-driven model is uniquely aligned with the expectations of both established yacht clients and a new generation of owners seeking greater transparency, responsiveness and long-term value.While the launch of independent brokerage houses is not uncommon within the superyacht sector, the pairing of Adam and Kurt brings together two distinctly complementary areas of expertise. Combining deep brokerage experience with proven strategic, creative and commercial leadership, the duo have built a business founded on both reputation and capability.Their partnership reflects a broader shift within the industry, where clients increasingly seek the agility, transparency and personalised approach often associated with boutique brokerage houses, without sacrificing the expertise and international reach traditionally offered by larger organisations. In this respect, <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/8896" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Matterhorn Yachts (Company)">Matterhorn</a> blends established industry knowledge with a more modern, insightful and adaptable approach to yacht brokerage.A strategic advisory approachAccording to the Founding team, <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/8896" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Matterhorn Yachts (Company)">Matterhorn</a> has been established in response to increasing fragmentation across the yachting experience, with clients often relying on multiple service providers and disconnected sources of information, or larger organisations whose structures can inhibit a truly performance-driven approach.Rather than concentrating solely on transactional brokerage activity, <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/8896" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Matterhorn Yachts (Company)">Matterhorn</a> will work closely with clients to develop personalised yachting strategies that reflect their lifestyle objectives and long-term aspirations.

"However, clients today require more than access and execution. Better insight and better intelligence leads to better decisions and better experiences. This is the role <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/8896" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Matterhorn Yachts (Company)">Matterhorn</a> intends to fill as trusted partners to our clients.”<a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/8896" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Matterhorn Yachts (Company)">Matterhorn</a>’s approach combines traditional brokerage expertise with strategic advisory and a deeper understanding of the factors that influence successful outcomes. The Founders believe that clients increasingly benefit from objective guidance, greater market visibility and a more integrated approach to decision-making. By bringing these elements together, the company aims to support clients across the full spectrum of yachting activities, from charter and acquisition through to ownership, management and eventual disposition.
