The reason? The 2026-27 Oyster World Rally.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/378811/image/large-09e42b8e3770ce85e64a241b12171e1d.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/378811">The rally around the worldWhat started in 2013, has turned into a well-loved tradition for <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/1097" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Oyster Yachts (Company)">Oyster Yacht</a> owners. Every two years, a group of owners set out to circumnavigate the globe together over the course of 16 months. The only requirement is owning an <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/1097" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Oyster Yachts (Company)">Oyster Yacht</a>. When Richard took over ownership of the shipyard, the rally was well underway: “They were all in New Zealand and didn't know what was happening; they were nervous it was all going to be over.”<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/393554/image/large-a46b63aab5a0e574b8b0b04078059147.png" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/393554">Almost immediately, Richard sent someone out there and said, “Look, you know, we've picked it up. We'll look after you guys. Don't worry. Everything's good.” He kept true to his promise, and, minus a pandemic-related hiccup, the rally has happened every other year. Richard notes that, throughout the past eight years “There's been lots and lots of ups along the way, but my highlight is this rally.”The route is the same each rally, starting in the Antigua harbour, heading south and through the Panama Canal before sailing towards French Polynesia, Australia and the Great Barrier Reef, followed by island hopping in Indonesia, around the Cape of Good Hope, before returning to the starting point. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/378813/image/large-f6e264dfd96b0c95a19266c04a03c9e9.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/378813">An important distinction is that the rally is not a race. Rather, it is a shared passage around the world that blends exploration with the reassurance of a structured support network. Richard emphasises that the <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/1097" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Oyster Yachts (Company)">Oysters</a> are well-cared for, “we fly out our best engineers and they fix all the little teething, little snagging issues. We know our own boats, right? We have the designs. We know every single detail.” It’s a sense of service that provides comfort for everyone involved, as well as those at home.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/393558/image/large-f6540711463b84f7c7f3daf1d2f48eb0.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/393558">Partaking in tradition“It’s always been in my mind's eye, partaking in the rally, as something I'd love to do.” Discussing the ideal timeline with his wife, they were considering either 2028 or 2030, “suddenly we were like, why wouldn't we do it now?” Richard shares, “it was like a revelation.” Thus began the preparations for the 2026 rally onboard his <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/1097" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Oyster Yachts (Company)">Oyster</a> 885, <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/6352" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Lush27.08m (88'10&quot;)Oyster Yachts2012">Lush</a>.<a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/1097" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Oyster Yachts (Company)">Oyster Yachts</a> are built for what Richard describes as ‘blue water’ capability: yachts designed for long distance ocean passage. Construction quality, redundancy in systems and a focus on safety all play a role in enabling owners to undertake global voyages with confidence. Richard’s yacht, <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/6352" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Lush27.08m (88'10&quot;)Oyster Yachts2012">Lush</a>, has crossed the Atlantic twenty times, “she’s twelve years old and she’s already circumnavigated once before. You feel the strength and the security when you’re sailing.”<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/393555/image/large-0abb38e810c7944d433ff5b80a391cf3.jpeg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/393555">Yet despite this capability and the trust in the build, each participating yacht and its crew need to undergo a certain level of training. Participants spend up to a year attending seminars and training sessions covering everything from offshore navigation to safety procedures. Survival courses, fire training and life raft drills form part of the preparation, ensuring that every sailor understands how to respond in an emergency.Additionally, weather routing specialists monitor conditions throughout the voyage, advising the fleet and each vessel carries satellite tracking equipment so that the rally organisers can follow the fleet’s progress in real time.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/396105/image/large-8b5d727cc491eebd0fb5df4f2d7b05e6.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/396105">Slow sailingCircumnavigation can be completed far faster than 16 months. The <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/1097" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Oyster Yachts (Company)">Oyster</a> World Rally intentionally chooses a slower rhythm. The aim is not simply to cross oceans but to absorb the places along the way. “There’s something about travelling slowly,” Richard notes. “You cover every mile and you feel the world changing around you. The temperature shifts, the time zones change, and you understand exactly where you are.”Weeks have been spent among the San Blas Islands, an archipelago of more than 300 islands, where instead of rushing onward, the fleet lingered for days, exploring remote anchorages and travelling inland to jungle waterfalls between sailing passages.The ability to enjoy such slow travel is thanks to certain luxuries the likes of Starlink, which keep Richard and fellow sailors connected to life back home. While the bulk of time is spent sailing and adventuring with his wife, sons and crew, there’s also the opportunity to take work calls. “It’s extraordinary,” Richard notes, “you can go on an adventure in the middle of the day, come back to the boat, and carry on with work.” True to his word, Richard ends our call to go crocodile-spotting with his youngest son.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/393556/image/large-6feb41da1249d7e2cef2c14e05ea49e7.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/393556">Travelling with purposeA newer dimension of the rally is the concept of regenerative tourism, an approach that encourages sailors to leave a positive impact on the destinations they visit. Unlike traditional sustainability initiatives that focus primarily on reducing harm, regenerative tourism seeks to actively improve the environments and communities encountered along the way.&nbsp;Activities range from environmental awareness projects to supporting local conservation initiatives. “It could be awareness, it could be picking up plastic, it could be supporting conservation,” Richard explains. “The idea is that we leave a place slightly better than we found it.”One upcoming stop highlights that ambition. In the Galápagos Islands, the fleet will host a series of discussions led by Sarah Darwin, the great-great-granddaughter of Charles Darwin, who is involved in ecological restoration projects in the archipelago. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/396091/image/large-94301c4c375b86a2cd7253c448878fd6.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/396091">A family voyagePerhaps the most striking element of Richard’s participation is that he gets to share it with his wife and youngest son, who are also onboard <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/6352" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Lush27.08m (88'10&quot;)Oyster Yachts2012">Lush</a>. “My two older sons are now 21 or 19, but when they were like 10, I was watching them jump off the side, and now I've got my two-year-old growing up on the same boat; I love that.”“I’m not someone who likes disposable things,” he says. “This boat has memories in it. My children have grown up on board.” <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/396104/image/large-e045835f24ba5410d34358ef61375d82.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/396104">A year of sailingHaving started the <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/1097" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Oyster Yachts (Company)">Oyster</a> World Rally this January in Antigua, the sailors are, at time of writing, well underway towards the Galápagos islands and tend to be very happy there is still so much sailing to go.For many sailors, the end of the journey arrives with mixed emotions: some find it difficult to return to land after spending all this time out at sea. Richard understands the sentiment, “once you begin to experience the world at the pace of a sailing yacht, the idea of rushing through it again feels strangely unfamiliar. You realise the world is vast, and you’re seeing it properly.”&nbsp;The <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/1097" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Oyster Yachts (Company)">Oyster</a> World Rally may follow a charted route around the globe. Yet for those onboard, the real voyage lies in discovering how large, and yet how connected, that world can be. “There’s something magical about it,” Richard notes.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/393550/image/large-3d80ac007ca3f58263d6eac9af835c80.png" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/393550">

With Lürssen's legacy for complex new-build projects at its other facilities, owners benefit from the same level of engineering knowledge, project management expertise and highly skilled workforce responsible for delivering some of the industry's most advanced yachts.This integration creates a distinct advantage when tackling technically demanding projects. Whether undertaking a major structural modification, a complete interior transformation or a full vessel conversion, clients gain access to the resources and experience of a shipyard accustomed to solving complex engineering challenges.Since acquiring the Hamburg site, <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/23" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Lürssen Yachts (Company)">Lürssen</a> has redelivered nearly 100 yachts, with close to half a kilometre of yachts undergoing refit work at the facility during the past 12 months alone.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/395684/image/large-e860b8408cb8573130a03c0e4ccc63a4.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/395684">A solution for every ownerWhile commissioning a custom new-build remains the ultimate expression of yacht ownership, lengthy construction schedules are often an unavoidable reality.

In addition, the yacht’s indoor and outdoor areas are seamlessly connected thanks to her full-height windows and Baglietto’s signature “cut-out” bulwarks, which strengthen connection to the sea.On her upper deck, a veranda that opens on three sides hosts a panoramic dining room, while her foredeck features a lounge area, sunpads and a Jacuzzi located at the bow. Moreover, a rooftop, rare for yachts of her category, serves as a private retreat where guests can dine, lounge, and relax.Furthermore, a stern garage with a flooding launch system is capable of accommodating a tender up to seven-metres, alongside a second garage forward.The yacht's interiors have been designed to complement the exterior design. Lacquered surfaces, experimental woods such as burnt oak, and artistic lighting all harmoniously contribute to her contemporary design profile. Lightweight materials were favoured over heavier marble and natural stone to support the yacht's high-performance credentials, with even the exterior handrails crafted from titanium to optimise weight.Unlike many of the shipyard’s earlier fast yachts, the <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/13932" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Baglietto Fast 50/0149.9m (163'9&quot;)Baglietto S.p.A.2026">FAST50 yacht</a> has been developed across three full decks, featuring a wide-body owner's suite on the main deck.&nbsp;At an interior volume of 499 GT, accommodation onboard is arranged across four staterooms, including two VIP staterooms and two twin staterooms on the lower deck, all with en-suite facilities. Crew accommodation comprises four dedicated quarters, captain's quarters and a spacious crew mess.In terms of performance, the yacht is powered by four <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/1409" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="MTU (Company)">MTU</a> engines, which are expected to deliver a top speed of 30 knots.&nbsp;

First 50m Baglietto FAST50 superyacht launched

Baglietto has launched the first 50m FAST50 yacht from its shipyard in La Spezia, Italy.


Seeking to defy conventions, the 58-metre <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/1821" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Damen Yachting (Company)">Damen Yachting</a> superyacht <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/8158" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Pink Shadow58.0m (190'3&quot;)Damen Yachting2023">Pink Shadow</a> is anything but ordinary. Challenging preconceptions from the outset, the superyacht sports a distinctive green hull, while her name, <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/8158" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Pink Shadow58.0m (190'3&quot;)Damen Yachting2023">Pink Shadow</a>, gleams from her exterior. These playful paradoxes are not confined to the yacht’s profile but persist within her custom, bold interior design. Delivered in August 2023, the superyacht’s interiors stemmed from the drawing boards of <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/329" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Design Unlimited (Company)">Design Unlimited</a>, they intertwine a myriad of diverse textures, vibrant colours and modern artworks to create a truly unique aesthetic.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/307909/image/large-92355a03947218a82096286e252d9a5e.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/307909"><a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/8158" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Pink Shadow58.0m (190'3&quot;)Damen Yachting2023">Pink Shadow</a> features exterior design penned by <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/37" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Azure Yacht Design & Naval Architecture (Company)">Azure Yacht Design</a>, while her naval architecture was crafted by her Turkey-based builder, <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/1821" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Damen Yachting (Company)">Damen Yachting</a>. The superyacht can accommodate as many as 12 guests across her six sumptuous staterooms, with space for a crew of 18, including the yacht’s captain.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/296665/image/large-3b41e6d3c029134ccac234313ff079bf.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/296665"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/307907/image/large-bf8c95cec95b1f9bf4f427fb14037ef1.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/307907">Showcasing a generous interior volume of 1,091 GT, the superyacht provides the designer with a large canvas to express their creativity. “Tasked with crafting an interior that went beyond traditional explorer yachts, our mission was to make the spaces usable throughout the boat while connecting the interior with the exterior and the open water. For style, the owner wanted a vibe based on the film Fitzcarraldo, where a vintage steamboat embarks on a journey down the Amazon River, a reflection of the owner’s love for South America,” explained Creative Director of <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/329" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Design Unlimited (Company)">Design Unlimited</a> Mark Tucker and Senior Designer Sophie Porteous.

Spanning across almost half of the synthetic teak deck, the large space is dedicated to guest entertainment and features rich textures and bamboo walls. Showcasing tropical decor, the beach club’s opulent design reflects the ambiance of a Tahiti island retreat. The large cabana-style cocktail bar serves as the focal point of the beach club, surrounded by tall wicker stools. A large overhead mosaic defines the rustic, pastel-painted bar, while a bold neon pink sign further amplifies the deck’s coastal charm.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/307905/image/large-bdf34a13d17caf5dbd5e58a4f94ccf58.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/307905"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/307897/image/large-ada2293af0e2e8b8ef0ab9155533ce76.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/307897">Tribal totem pillars and large interwoven bamboo beams line the beach club, forming dedicated relaxation areas. A formal dining space provides guests with idyllic ocean-views, while cosy lounge areas are scattered throughout. Featuring balconies that lower to extend the yacht’s beam even further, the beach club offers the ultimate entertainment area. Enhancing the yacht's connection with her surroundings, the beach club features suspended sunpads elevated by tender cranes and boasts a luxurious infinity pool. In addition, the designers have incorporated louvre doors as opposed to simple folding doors, providing sunshade and adjustable tilting.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/307896/image/large-4fd074d6082cfeb823d42cc0f29de75b.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/307896"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/307895/image/large-29e5478419866245e262a3b52ae3c509.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/307895">In terms of accommodation, <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/8158" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Pink Shadow58.0m (190'3&quot;)Damen Yachting2023">Pink Shadow</a> consists of three double staterooms, one of which is wheelchair accessible and two convertible staterooms on the main deck, in addition to a large master suite. A variety of bright prints, pairing grand floral wallpaper with patterned carpets and teal-toned walls are on display in the master suite. An opulent chandelier is positioned above the plum velvet bed, while an adjacent lighting feature illuminates the private lounge, showcasing comfortable red armchairs and a beige sofa. The suite also houses a private siesta room, a dedicated vanity area and a spacious dressing room, complete with leather seating. The stateroom’s vibrant ensuite showcases a large statement wall, adorned with a tropical rainforest-inspired design, painted over a golden base layer. The suite’s variety of patterns enhances the yacht’s maximalist aesthetic, layering a mixture of prints, styles and colours with one another.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/307892/image/large-dfa0f318c30a14d6ae5e8e1535f5660b.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/307892"><a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/8158" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Pink Shadow58.0m (190'3&quot;)Damen Yachting2023">Pink Shadow</a>’s lively decor extends across her guest staterooms. While botanical wallpaper and unique lighting features characterise the guest accommodation, they showcase a more muted colour palette in comparison with the vivid hues of the master suite. Rich-toned furnishings and plush fabrics complement opulent glass detailing to create a charming aesthetic onboard.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/307893/image/large-c2916002daf7e20137ab3376f39fdad3.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/307893">Entering the main saloon, an extensive formal dining table takes centre stage, complete with an abundance of seating. Dark wooden paneling blends with rich magenta tones and deep green leather furniture to form a lavish interior. A glamorous feathered lampshade defines the lounge area, which features a soft curved sofa and a shimmering pink loveseat, surrounding a wooden coffee table, reminiscent of a treasure chest. Striking sculptures and engraved wall art adorn the yacht’s interior design. Notably, the dedicated dining area is characterised by a unique nude sculpture adorned with a sea-shell helmet, while a large globe is intricately etched into the wall behind.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/307906/image/large-83488c83c9d4aa181500a28a004d742e.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/307906">Moving to the cigar lounge, guests can enjoy the ambiance of refined luxury. Drawing inspiration from the 1982 film Fitzcarraldo, a thoughtfully chosen carpet depicting the boat's journey down the river has been specifically chosen for the lounge. A sophisticated interior design extends across the space, combining neutral tones with subdued lighting. The simplistic and elegant design contrasts with the more eccentric aesthetic prevalent in other areas onboard. Leather armchairs, carefully crafted coffee tables and a velvet burgundy sofa, create an aura of vintage glamour.
