Her striking high bow, strong angular lines and almost military-influenced aesthetic convey a sense of strength and purpose. Finished in a clean, crisp white with dark window bands, she is unmistakably a yacht that’s been built to venture far beyond the confines of the Mediterranean.Her vertical windows wrap around the main and upper decks, visually elongating the superstructure, while ensuring panoramic views from within. Cutolo’s exterior styling is aggressive yet elegant, with a contemporary edge that feels every bit as refined as it is functional.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/340965/image/large-1d55295c3bcaa4419753ef7b5e5f6886.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/340965">There’s no doubt: <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/10739" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Bee35.4m (116'2&quot;)ART Shipyard2025">Bee</a> is built for adventure. But she’s equally ready to welcome guests in comfort and style. Stepping aboard via the wide hydraulic swim platform, you enter a world of calm precision. Her aft deck immediately sets the tone, uncluttered, open and bathed in natural light. Teak underfoot and a sculptural staircase to starboard lead the eye up toward the upper decks, while her shaded aft seating area invites relaxed conversation or dining with a view.Sliding glass doors open into the main saloon – a space that feels both expansive and grounded. Soft neutral tones, clean lines and tactile materials like brushed oak and matte lacquered finishes create a modern, almost Nordic atmosphere. Nothing is ostentatious. Everything is intentional.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/340971/image/large-0080c75be12498628e4d0349fd8e99db.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/340971">The brief for <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/10739" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Bee35.4m (116'2&quot;)ART Shipyard2025">Bee</a> was clear, to create a space that was “trendy, modern, comfortable and open to the landscape.” Natural light plays a central role in the experience and reflecting materials are placed strategically next to windows to amplify brightness. In contrast, the broader palette leans into understated luxury, with elegant matte finishes grounding the airy ambiance.Ceilings are kept light and subtly varied in finish, matte beside gloss, to add dimensionality. Doors and blind boxes feature rounded corners framed in brushed aluminium, reinforcing the yacht’s theme of softness meeting structure. While artwork from local artists is thoughtfully displayed in recessed, brushed-framed niches, adding authenticity and cultural richness.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/340976/image/large-c837d47bf792925e4eb1ea8061cd94d9.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/340976">The saloon itself is arranged with versatility in mind.

Bee: The 35m explorer yacht for sale that’s built for adventure

We take a look onboard the 35m explorer yacht Bee, which is built for adventure and currently for sale with Ocean Independence. 

Onboard Bee: The 35m explorer yacht for sale that’s built for adventure!

In early March <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/44" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Abeking & Rasmussen (Company)">Abeking &amp; Rasmussen</a> officially relaunched the 73-metre (240-foot) <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/23" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Lürssen Yachts (Company)">Lürssen</a> superyacht <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/112" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Starfire70.2m (230'4&quot;)Lürssen Yachts2007">Starfire</a>, following a 12-month refit which entailed the redesign of the yacht’s exterior and interior and a major overhaul of its systems. The yacht's passionate owner entrusted the team from <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/7339" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Pascoli International (Company)">Pascoli Internationa</a>l to reimagine her exterior aesthetic, while <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/110" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Patrick Knowles Designs (Company)">Patrick Knowles</a> worked closely alongside her owner and captain Paul Duncan to revitalise her interior. The team at <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/4946" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Arrow Monaco (Company)">Arrow Monaco</a>, led by Alec Heath represented the owner during the build and were instrumental in its successful completion.&nbsp;We are excited to share insights into the yacht's new design ahead of her industry unveiling at the upcoming <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Event/251" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="MYBA Charter Show - 2025- 35th Edition">MYBA Charter Show</a> in San Remo next week, after which she is expected to take the charter season by storm. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/357835/image/large-27967e447d32e3fd9f45b0aed01cbbd3.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/357835"><a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/112" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Starfire70.2m (230'4&quot;)Lürssen Yachts2007">Starfire</a>’s exterior aesthetic has been dramatically reimagined in a black-and-white colour scheme, with a white hull and black overhangs, a black mast and sundeck superstructure, and black window bands and brow accents that elongate the yacht’s lines and lighten the overall impression. Speaking of the owner’s ambition for the exterior, Kristian <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/7339" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Pascoli International (Company)">Pascoli</a> explains, “The owner’s brief was clear, he wanted to modernise the yacht, bringing her into a contemporary realm and most importantly giving her a sleeker look.” <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/357834/image/large-9c9cf477a5f051fce94d102ad8d64f14.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/357834">From a general arrangement perspective there have been two significant changes. First, the extension of the yacht’s swim platform, which now acts as an additional exterior dining area, outdoor beach club, and watersports epicenter.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/357840/image/large-26b334d6f8008a23b35ed84a0b81346b.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/357840">Additionally, the owner requested that the sundeck be transformed into a gym and spa deck, complete with an infra-red sauna, plunge pool, and dedicated massage space. This was accomplished through the creation of an enclosed and air-conditioned atrium which presented the unique design challenge of surrounding the space with floating glass panes that could be opened as desired. Taking this task on was the German engineering firm <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/8180" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Kreative Metallform (KMF) (Company)">Kreative Metallform</a> who designed a retractable system for the 360-degree floor-to-ceiling glass. &nbsp;<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/357843/image/large-811244606539abbf3e48e398332cc6d3.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/357843">With a volume of 1,979 GT and a near 13-metre beam, <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/112" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Starfire73.0m (239'6&quot;)Lürssen Yachts2007">Starfire</a> has an impressive platform and excellent pedigree. Captain Paul Duncan explains, “The idea was to maintain that integrity while updating her to current standards. That meant opening up many of the interior spaces, increasing light to the interior, replacing multiple layers of window dressings with invisible silhouette blinds, and physically extending key windows.” <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/357833/image/large-8a784ddcb232ec5902aca9ff5ef093ed.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/357833"><a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/110" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Patrick Knowles Designs (Company)">Patrick Knowles</a> commented, “<a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/112" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Starfire73.0m (239'6&quot;)Lürssen Yachts2007">Starfire</a> had excellent bones and a strong aesthetic foundation. We respected her traditional envelope, while incorporating clean, transitional furniture with traditional silhouettes but contemporary finishes. The original seating featured satin silks, white silk carpets, velvets and velours – very formal. We moved towards textured, streamlined materials that are more relaxed while still elegant.” <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/357844/image/large-0d5f384062226f07bb55cbf878472e9f.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/357844">For instance the yacht’s original saloon was divided between the seating areas and bar. This has now been opened into one functional space with a central seating area, games table to port that doubles as a desk or breakfast table, and lounge chairs to starboard that are a perfect spot to sit if you’re just passing through or waiting to disembark. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/357837/image/large-1378067134a067f30765d6eced583d63.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/357837">Optionality was an integral part of the redesign, particularly to create unique zones that guests can enjoy, in replacement of the three previous formal saloons. For example, the bridge deck bar has been transformed into an English style pub, complete with a booth and felt-lined darts cupboard.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/357841/image/large-548168155a21b44b9c3da0d40c377e8d.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/357841">While these changes have been transformative for her interiors, the team has carefully honoured the yacht’s original DNA, particularly the fine <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/67" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Zuretti Interior Design (Company)">Zuretti</a> wood paneling used throughout her interior. Paul Duncan adds, “We took a sensitive approach to modernisation – one that respected the yacht’s heritage without allowing it to feel dated. The original woodwork was particularly beautiful, and it would have been a disservice to erase it. Instead, we chose to complement it. By introducing warmer LED lighting and reducing visual clutter, the wood now sings rather than overwhelms. The result is a yacht that retains its warmth while offering dramatically improved brightness, visual access to all of the exterior spaces and the sea, and a vastly greater sense of openness.”<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/357836/image/large-341acbc8f511427f78cf83d7a8e5bf92.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/357836">Other such evolutions include the master suite with its attached, raised observation room which used to be an afterthought. This has been transformed into a private workout and observation area to enjoy the incredible panoramic views this forward-looking space offers.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/357842/image/large-5d6ed25365897826e8a32ec0778051c4.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/357842"> <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/357845/image/large-b6049aaef2848ce92c8188f254088985.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/357845">The exterior decks have likewise been modernised with a new alfresco dining area introduced on the main deck aft, as well as on the newly-extended swim platform which can be transformed into a covered dining area right at the water’s edge. Both areas benefit from custom tables made for each space by <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/333" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Finkeldei Upholstered Furniture (Company)">Finkeldei</a> Interiors. And for fun-lovers there is now a basketball hoop on the large pool deck where guests will find an outdoor pool that converts to a giant hot tub, as well as an outdoor cinema with a dedicated projector capable of daytime-viewing brightness levels.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/357846/image/large-33c9c587875e479d839f35d0ce161826.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/357846">The final result of this impressive refit is that <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/112" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Starfire73.0m (239'6&quot;)Lürssen Yachts2007">Starfire</a> has been beautifully evolved for a new era of yacht charter clients, and she will no doubt make her presence felt at the charter show next week. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/357831/image/large-12bf3b3b7b685be19bc8fd334fce8e4d.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/357831">

Moreover, sleek wooden surfaces and matt bronze finishes are married to a selection of fabrics including bouclé weaves, velvets and cashmere. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/354585/image/large-20059f46e4a9e84c53b201de4899280c.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/354585">The main saloon also features a bespoke silk and wool carpet embellished with an abstract inksplash motif, referencing the patterns present in the dark blue camouflage cashmere, the taupe oak burr and the carved black wood for an emphasis on texture. Moving down the corridor from this saloon, light structures are paired with leather panels and light crystal spheres, and the staircase exhibits a backlit leather handrail transitioning to the upper deck.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/354589/image/large-2d86dd6828fdbed7bbaceb7c991b3130.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/354589"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/354588/image/large-d35ad86aeaff9a845479c8dd711f1100.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/354588"><a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/3964" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Thanuja49.9m (163'9&quot;)Concept Marine2011"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/354587/image/large-220872f68e24ee9eb41c243b929d9bef.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/354587">Thanuja</a>’s sky lounge on the upper deck has also undergone significant updates during the rebuild, with an expanded ceiling height, enlarged windows and the removal of a central pillar for improved spatial flow. The sky lounge is also home to a glass table and comfortable upholstery, as well as integrated linear lighting in the window cladding and a geometric light element in the bronze front of the bar. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/354581/image/large-b928e74a8f4019581e4ccc47f0580540.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/354581">One of the space’s highlights is the use of Forest Green leathered marble, a green stone with dark red and white veins. “Observers can almost sense the jungle from which it was born,” <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/7541" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Katharina Raczek Design (Company)">Katharina Raczek Design</a> explained. “This natural essence is echoed in the room’s custom chandelier, an artpiece in its own right featuring patinated bronze trees that cradle precious ostrich eggs, reminiscent of ripe fruit.”<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/354582/image/large-58a888ba8616e0312c4ec9de5d57a962.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/354582">Located on the main deck, <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/3964" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Thanuja49.9m (163'9&quot;)Concept Marine2011">Thanuja</a>’s open-layout owner’s suite has a colour palette composed of plum tones, green shades and pink hints across its walls and carpet, complemented by sycamore panelling, high-gloss dark taupe burr oak and sycamore accents. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/354578/image/large-bbac38310cb0c337a27b7d0584407528.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/354578"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/354576/image/large-7a215d765272368c9a896c5082dfd846.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/354576">When entering the stateroom, those onboard are greeted by a seating area comprising a dark green velvet sofa, an armchair and an ottoman. Chairs and a table are subtly placed behind the bar and coffee station, while the owner’s stateroom also benefits from a well-equipped library wall. Separated from the stateroom via double sliding doors, the wardrobe can remain either closed or open, and a large cosmetic vanity built from burr marble has a crystal light feature on the mirror. Meanwhile, the ensuite bathroom showcases light quartz walls and Emperador dark marble, and is complete with a double shower featuring shower seats and rain showers. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/354575/image/large-88d11f11323d6c4f04329d6e699535e1.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/354575"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/354574/image/large-362b130b4156edd6e5b5876a3c436070.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/354574"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/354577/image/large-0c44981504858eba162332753df6ba06.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/354577">As for the remaining guests, their lower deck staterooms include asymmetrically arranged leather panels and an illuminated leather handrail ascending upwards to the main deck in a staircase. The lower deck lobby reveals a bronze light installation coupled with juxtaposing tall side tables in shell marble, while the ensuite guest staterooms display eucalyptus wall panels in soft grey, dark taupe sycamore furniture, matte wool carpets and leather accents.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/354570/image/large-69129cf256066d74ad701d080a0f8835.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/354570"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/354569/image/large-4c53b191cbdb27c0814747e93f2ed567.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/354569"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/354568/image/large-24a3cc9ff2cfd91dc84c88cb30bb6b31.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/354568">Moving outside, <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/3964" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Thanuja49.9m (163'9&quot;)Concept Marine2011">Thanuja</a>’s upper deck provides alfresco entertainment in the form of a sofa arrangement, an outdoor dining table and barbecue, while a Jacuzzi accompanied by lounging areas and a bar can be found on the sundeck. Among the yacht’s exterior highlights are the extended aft bathing platform and the beach club styled with blue tones throughout the upholstery and ceramic tables beneath expansive skylights. At night, a crystal wall creates the image of a floating jellyfish as a playful reference to the nautical backdrop. Additionally, the beach club offers a pantry with a coffee bar set on cream travertine and a bathroom with a shower and changing area.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/354562/image/large-dbea0dd831fa2ae6f8f4016c47c8767d.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/354562"><a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/5966" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="iYacht GmbH Yacht design & Engineering (Company)">iYacht</a> conceived the vessel’s exterior layouts, while <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/7541" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Katharina Raczek Design (Company)">Katharina Raczek Design</a> adorned them with loose furniture and dark taupe travertine tables piled with decorative cushions in a range of blue shades.

The second edition of the Blue Design Summit officially opened yesterday at the Teatro Civico della Spezia, kicking off three days of high-level discussion, design showcases and industry insights under the theme From Water to Design. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/358852/image/large-b247988493e96cf506f69bdff5d2fd12.jpeg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/358852">As the flagship event of Blue Design Week, which takes place from 12 to 16 May 2025, the Summit brings together leading figures from the international superyacht design and shipbuilding sectors, including prominent Italian and global design studios, shipyards, and suppliers.Read: <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Article/63247" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Blue Design Summit 2025 to return to La Spezia (2025-05-05 14:00:00 +0200)">Blue Design Summit 2025 to return to La Spezia</a><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/360139/image/large-2735ff6b409bacd97c3f51843e8e7152.jpeg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/360139">During the first half-day of the conference, <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/4509" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="SuperYacht Times (Company)">SuperYacht Times</a>' Head of Intelligence, Ralph Dazert, presented our annual market report, while adding a real-time analysis of superyacht market trends based on first-quarter 2025 data.&nbsp;The headline finding was clear: the global superyacht market is stabilising following the post-COVID boom, but it is now evolving along two distinct trajectories. While the over 40 metre segment continues to demonstrate healthy growth, the 30 to 40 metre category is experiencing a marked decline in new orders.After peaking at 375 new superyacht sales in 2021, the market recorded 195 new-builds in 2024. At the same time, deliveries have continued to rise, from 163 in 2021 to 228 in 2024 as shipyards work through a once-record backlog of orders. That backlog stood at 695 yachts at the start of 2024 but has since begun to decline for the first time in years.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/360142/image/large-0e57af53390af9de0374fcf22e4e9dda.jpeg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/360142">The clearest trend, however, is the divergence between market segments. New orders in the 30 to 40 metre range dropped by 20 percent between 2023 and 2024, while those in the 40 to 50 metre bracket rose by 28 percent. In total, segments above 40 metres recorded a 13 percent increase in new orders during the same period.“The market is moving towards a two-speed dynamic,” said Ralph Dazert during the session. “Buyers in the upper segments are continuing to invest, while the more accessible size ranges are seeing hesitation, likely due to broader economic uncertainties.”In the first quarter of 2025 alone, new sales of 30 to 40 metre yachts dropped dramatically from 35 units in Q1 2024 to just 15. Units above 40 metres also fell, from 36 to 26, hinting at a potential slowdown across the board, possibly influenced by tariff announcements and macroeconomic pressures.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/360141/image/large-9012db260b0ffe019d635576b6750ded.jpeg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/360141">Despite the shifting market conditions, Italy continues to dominate the superyacht construction sector. In 2024, Italian shipyards accounted for 120 new yacht sales above 30 metres, more than double the combined total of all other competing nations. As of 1 January 2025, the country’s shipyards held 371 projects in their order books, representing 53 percent of the global backlog.Notably, Italian projects are also growing in scale. The average new-build from an Italian yard now measures 44 metres and 517 gross tonnes, indicating a trend towards larger, more complex builds.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/360135/image/large-11a858505cfb7e42e87eeba855986e4e.jpeg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/360135">These figures were underscored during a panel discussion that closed the first day of the Summit, which featured leading figures such as Vasco Buonpensiere of <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/2354" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Cantiere delle Marche (CdM) (Company)">Cantiere delle Marche</a>, Diego Deprati from <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/375" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Baglietto S.p.A.
