Yachts attending Monaco Yacht Show 2026

The <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Event/346" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Metstrade - 2026">Marine Equipment Trade Show (Metstrade)</a> has announced that visitor registration is now open for its 2026 edition. The global leisure marine trade show is set to return to RAI Amsterdam from 17 to 19 November.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/398841/image/large-7b3a6d14c1ce5a3907a17dc1e2aa9788.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/398841">The exhibition will feature more than 1,700 exhibitors across 13 halls, showcasing the latest products, technologies and services spanning propulsion systems, sustainable materials, smart connectivity and onboard electronics.This year's event introduces a redesigned floorplan, including an expanded Superyacht Zone, a relocated Marina &amp; Yard Zone and a larger Construction Materials Zone, aimed at improving navigation and creating more opportunities for business networking.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/398840/image/large-85a401cecafef1b1f792d36d32c66c55.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/398840">RAI Marine Technology Director Niels Klarenbeek commented: “The 2026 floorplan isn’t just bigger, it’s structured differently to improve visitor experience. By regrouping the Superyacht, Marina &amp; Yard and Construction Materials zones, we’re cutting the distance between visitors and the conversations that matter most to them so they can spend more time in front of new products, new exhibitors and the connections that drive business.”The 2026 content programme will also place greater emphasis on longer-format discussions, with 45-minute sessions followed by dedicated networking opportunities. Highlights include talks on nuclear propulsion for superyachts, practical implementation of environmental regulations and the impact of artificial intelligence on marine marketing.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/398843/image/large-6dc1f9f52e49eb7c733aae6fb9f13505.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/398843">Alongside the exhibition, <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Event/346" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Metstrade - 2026">Metstrade</a> week will once again host industry events including The Superyacht Forum, which takes place from 16 to 17 November under the theme Accelerate the Evolution.Registration is free until 1 November 2026, after which an online fee of €90 (excluding VAT) will apply. Early registrants will also receive programme updates, discounted accommodation rates and access to limited early-bird tickets for Metstrain, the show's dedicated Eurostar carriage between London and Amsterdam.

(Company)">Barracuda Yacht Design</a>, which was responsible for both her exterior and interior concept. She has a robust and functional design language, with an exterior shaped around capability, practicality and purpose. Her twin-hull configuration is intended to support efficiency and stability, while the design also includes private balconies for each guest stateroom, an unusual feature in this size and category of yacht. Rather than focusing on decorative detailing, the project places emphasis on operational strength, with form closely linked to performance.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/399470/image/large-ba69f4b68a3a86cfc74214492b2abe28.png" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/399470">The <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/282" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Kingship (Company)">Kingship</a>&nbsp;45m project takes a more refined approach.

(Company)">Barracuda Yacht Design</a> responsible for the interior concept. Developed as a 499GT platform, she is intended to combine elegance and versatility, with a distinctive bow and a carefully proportioned overall profile. In contrast to the more assertive character of the KingCat 125, the Kingship 45m project is positioned as a more adaptable platform for owners seeking a larger yacht with considerable interior potential.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/399474/image/large-944b55481e7291b372eb0462f7b323ca.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/399474">Adaptability and delivery timelinesThe level of customisation differs between the two projects. On the <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/282" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Kingship (Company)">Kingship</a>&nbsp;45m project, the layout is largely defined by the vessel’s structural framework, although minor spatial adjustments remain possible where they do not affect the existing structure. The interior concept, developed by <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/464" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Barracuda Yacht Design Ltd.

It follows a contemporary style with subtle Asian influences, while still allowing an owner to tailor the interior to her own preferences and use of the yacht.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/399478/image/large-f87f1113f026d9926077c0799be26230.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/399478"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/399477/image/large-ad3c3a2f74eb33a37d6686b99f919a0b.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/399477">The KingCat 125&nbsp;offers greater flexibility at this stage. Her final interior design has not yet been developed, although the intended direction is modern, contemporary, warm and comfortable. With fewer structural constraints than the <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/282" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Kingship (Company)">Kingship</a>&nbsp;45m project, she gives owners more scope to shape the interior arrangement and design from an earlier stage.Delivery timelines remain dependent on final specifications and contract terms. As a guide, <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/282" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Kingship (Company)">Kingship</a> says the KingCat 125 could be completed within around three years of a signed order, with the possibility of a shorter time frame depending on the final project scope.

The EPOQ series marks a new chapter for the shipyard, introducing a semi-custom platform designed to make its craftsmanship and design approach accessible to a wider range of owners while maintaining its focus on quality and personalisation.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/400565/image/large-20d293054d15a0c0dc6b137139a0f534.png" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/400565">According to <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/136" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Ocean Independence (Company)">Ocean Independence</a>, the concept is aimed at owners who prioritise lifestyle over status. Inspired by the Belle Époque, the yacht reflects the era's sophistication and refined way of life."Today's owners increasingly seek yachts that reflect their lifestyle rather than their status," said <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/136" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Ocean Independence (Company)">Ocean Independence</a> CEO Peter Hürzeler. "The <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/1556" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="SES Yachts (Company)">SES</a> EPOQ 36&nbsp;delivers exactly that. She is elegant without excess, technically sophisticated without unnecessary complexity, and designed for people who genuinely love spending time at sea."<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/400566/image/large-63cb2310939097f080c323c6b2af113c.png" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/400566">Penned by <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/6603" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="STURGE & TOTH (Company)">Sturge &amp; Toth</a>, the exterior reinterprets the classic gentleman's yacht through subtle references to traditional British yacht design rather than direct historical recreation. The generous outdoor spaces have been designed to maximise the guest experience, while the interiors offer a flexible living environment. In the main saloon, loose furniture is paired with traditional wood craftsmanship and contemporary fabrics. This allows owners significant scope for personalisation, even during the later stages of construction.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/400564/image/large-f3a4a613890d066a41292d76abb8cf15.png" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/400564">One of the yacht's standout features is a glass-bottomed Jacuzzi on the sundeck, which also serves as a skylight for the alfresco dining area below. Incorporating switchable liquid-crystal glass technology, it can alternate between transparent and translucent.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/400563/image/large-8ffbc700a28713013153529d5d4b8015.png" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/400563">The yacht features a steel displacement hull, paired with low-revving engines. At the heart of EPOQ, however, is her renowned Fast Displacement Hull Form (FDHF), developed by <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/460" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Van Oossanen Naval Architects (Company)">Van Oossanen Naval Architects</a>. Combining the efficiency of a displacement yacht with the performance of a semi-displacement design, the hull reduces fuel consumption while improving cruising efficiency and onboard comfort.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/400571/image/large-dc0b102bc8291654051f818c68f998d5.png" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/400571">Her lower deck layout has been standardised to optimise build quality while retaining flexibility for owner customisation. "EPOQ was never about adding complexity," concluded designer Benjamin Toth. "Every design decision has been evaluated through the lens of how owners actually use their yachts. The result is a vessel that offers exceptional comfort while remaining practical to own and operate for decades."

He was also a mentor to many within the brokerage community, earning a reputation as a trusted and generous colleague.Bob’s passion for life on the water began at an early age after restoring an abandoned 10-foot dory when he was just 11 years old. Following his graduation from the University of Massachusetts Amherst and a brief period of service in the U.S. Navy, he dedicated his life to sailing and yacht brokerage. An accomplished ocean racer, he competed in numerous offshore events, including the Newport to Bermuda, Marblehead to Halifax and Southern Ocean Racing Conference (SORC) races.He began his brokerage career in 1971 at Graves Yacht Yard in Marblehead, Massachusetts, before acquiring <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/526" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Northrop & Johnson (Company)">Northrop &amp; Johnson's</a> Massachusetts office in 1985. He led the office for more than two decades before selling the business in 2007, while remaining part of the company and continuing to serve clients from the firm's Newport office.Beyond his brokerage work, Bob played an influential role in advancing professional standards across the industry. A former president of the Yacht Brokers Association of America, he was named Broker of the Year in 1991. He then helped develop the Certified Professional Yacht Broker (CPYB) examination, which went on to become the industry's national certification standard.According to <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/526" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Northrop & Johnson (Company)">Northrop &amp; Johnson</a>, Bob believed a broker's role was not simply to make a sale, but to provide trusted advice and help clients make informed decisions.

MYS 2025: Monaco Yacht Summit review

We take a look back at everything you might have missed from this year’s programme, to keep you up-to-date on all the latest industry news and trends.

A full roundup of the Monaco Yacht Summit 2025 programme

It isn’t every day that the superyacht press finds itself on a video call with one of the most influential figures in technology. But when Gabe Newell, co-founder of Valve and now shareholder at <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/64" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Oceanco (Company)">Oceanco</a>, appeared on screen for a private roundtable with a select group of journalists during the <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Event/271" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Monaco Yacht Show - 2025">Monaco Yacht Show</a>, the atmosphere was one of curiosity and anticipation. For an hour, he spoke candidly about his unlikely journey into yachting, his vision for research-led fleets and why he believes there will always be interesting technologies and opportunities to build more boats.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/372661/image/large-efbaa1c91bfa6988f938d8e2732895dd.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/372661">“I wasn’t interested in yachts at all,” he admitted with disarming honesty over the call, explaining how a surprise charter onboard the 77.6-metre <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/270" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Vosper Thornycroft (Company)">Vosper Thornycroft</a> <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/301" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="M577.6m (254'7&quot;)Vosper Thornycroft2004">M5</a> (ex. Mirabella) for his ex-wife’s 50th birthday turned into the start of a lifelong passion. “I thought I was going to be miserable. Instead, I discovered this incredible way to spend time with friends and family.”That first charter led to many more. Then came ownership. Then, inevitably, came shipbuilding. Today, Newell not only owns a growing fleet, but also lives full-time at sea. “Other than a couple of months in 2021, I’ve been living onboard ever since the pandemic,” he said, leaning back in his chair on screen. His three cats, he joked, are just as bemused as he is when the captain informs them which vessel they’re moving to next.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/319785/image/large-4bb2a8fa9dff74386dd0cf81c8991888.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/319785">The scale and diversity of Newell’s fleet is unusual, even by superyacht standards. He counts the 78.5-metre <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/10" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Rocinante78.5m (257'7&quot;)Lürssen Yachts2008">Rocinante</a> as his first acquisition, the 72.15-metre <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/1821" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Damen Yachting (Company)">Damen Yachting</a> yacht <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/5955" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Game Changer72.15m (236'9&quot;)Damen Yachting2017">Game Changer</a> as a support vessel, and both <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/4018" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Draak91.5m (300'2&quot;)Oceanco2014">Draak</a> and the new-build 111-metre superyacht <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/10354" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Leviathan111.0m (364'2&quot;)Oceanco2025">Leviathan</a> by <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/64" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Oceanco (Company)">Oceanco</a> as those included under his ownership. Beyond the traditional yachts, however, lies an array of research platforms, including the 68.2-metre <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/3754" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Tacoma Boat Building Co (Company)">Tacoma Boat Building</a> vessel <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/10637" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Dagon68.28m (224'0&quot;)Tacoma Boat Building Co1985">Dagon</a> which operates as a full-ocean-depth surface platform and the 55.75-metre <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/1643" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Auroux (Company)">Auroux</a> vessel <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/2832" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Hydra55.75m (182'11&quot;)Auroux1974">Hydra</a> which is designed for coastal studies.&nbsp;He also has a 35-metre sportfisher in development at <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/474" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Yachting Developments (Company)">Yachting Developments</a>, that will travel with the main boat and the support boat, and has signed an agreement with <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/4590" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Vard Group AS (Company)">Vard</a> for the 100-metre <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/15856" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="RV6000100.0m (328'1&quot;)Vard Group AS2028">RV6000</a>, which will carry a 6,000-metre-capable remotely operated vehicle for submarine rescue and ocean science, and the research vessel <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/17142" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="RV11000162.0m (531'6&quot;)Vard Group AS2030">RV11000</a>, which is still in development.&nbsp;While the fleet is diverse, the vision is consistent that yachts are not just used as platforms for leisure, but as tools for exploration and science. Through Inkfish, his marine research organisation, Newell supports scientists with access to deep-sea technology, from advanced ROVs to mapping equipment. “Our focus is to be a service organisation to the scientific community,” he explained. “We ask scientists directly, what’s helpful? Sometimes that means getting them to critical parts of the ocean. Sometimes it means grants to process the data we collect. The point is to be led by science, not by ego.”<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/367974/image/large-ea8d38f7ced1d8b2d5c392d963d93997.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/367974">At one point during the call, he described how high-school students had boarded his research vessels, watching specimens being prepared, and later wrote to ask when the boats would return. He smiled as he recounted their excitement: “That’s the impact I want to see. When the community says, ‘You’re coming back? Hooray!’ then we know we’re doing it right.”If his research ambitions are ambitious, his philosophy as a yacht owner is just as striking. Newell has imported the mindset of a software engineer into yacht design, thinking in terms of productivity and user experience.On <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/10354" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Leviathan111.0m (364'2&quot;)Oceanco2025">Leviathan</a>, for instance, the deck is not teak but <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/7672" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Bolidt (Company)">Bolidt</a>. “I’d rather the crew spend less time polishing decks and more time interacting with guests,” he said. “It’s about maximising the valuable experiences onboard. Do you want your crew polishing chrome, or taking your child out on a Jet Ski? To me, it’s obvious.”That approach extends deeper, with crew actively designing tenders, galleys and operational spaces. “We started by asking our dive team to design their own tender. The results were so good that we realised, the more you involve the crew in design, the better the outcomes.” On screen, he gave a small shrug as if to say the idea was obvious, though it represents a radical departure from how most yachts are conceived.Few yacht owners speak as comfortably about CNC machining, AI models or pressure vessels as they do about cruising grounds. For Newell, technology is not an accessory to his yachting, but the foundation of it. A self-taught machinist who once kept a five-axis CNC mill in his living room, he now funds advanced material research. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/367451/image/large-26f50ff0e23faff563f5ba25af0026b5.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/367451">One project in partnership explores aluminium oxynitride, a transparent ceramic stronger than titanium. “It’s so strong that titanium becomes the gasket material,” he said, eyes lighting up through the video link. The aim, to build a fully transparent, full-ocean-depth submersible hull.Newell was also an early funder of OpenAI, and speaks enthusiastically about applying machine learning to shipbuilding. “Putting stress and strain gauges everywhere, collecting time-series data and comparing it to model predictions, that’s where AI can validate and improve design. It’s about putting shipbuilding in front of the wave of technological advancement.”Examples already in place include pathogen-detection systems onboard to identify influenza or RSV, and discussions around bridge systems that use augmented reality to detect submerged objects at night. “Machine vision is already better than humans in many cases,” he said. “It’s just about integrating it in a way that enhances safety.”<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/372683/image/large-fde494e79d89a678a296d7074c300d04.png" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/372683">Gabe Newell acquired <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/64" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Oceanco (Company)">Oceanco</a> in August 2025, stating he intends to support and reinforce its existing culture, which he views as effective, principled and forward-looking. The investment in <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/64" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Oceanco (Company)">Oceanco</a> itself stemmed not from a cold business calculation, but from a sense of belonging. Building <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/10354" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Leviathan111.0m (364'2&quot;)Oceanco2025">Leviathan</a> with the yard’s CEO Marcel Onkenhout and his team created a natural partnership for Newell.“It didn’t feel adversarial. It felt like collaboration,” Newell explained. “I was fanboying all over Marcel and his team. The quality made me root for them. Eventually it was like, how can I be part of this team too?” The result was a formal stake in <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/64" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Oceanco (Company)">Oceanco</a>, but with a philosophy that profit alone is not the driver. “The goal is to create happy customers. Profit is just the signal that you’re doing better than others. My focus is on how to make already brilliant yachts even more valuable to owners.”<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/365665/image/large-908318675f42f6a91544e68f54985a77.png" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/365665">For Newell, the process of designing and building yachts has become as much a joy as the finished vessels themselves. “I’ll actually be sad when <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/10354" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Leviathan111.0m (364'2&quot;)Oceanco2025">Leviathan</a> is delivered, because I’ve loved working with the team,” he admitted via the video link. Asked whether he will always be building yachts, he admitted that it's an ongoing conversation and that there will always be interesting opportunities to move technology forward in the industry, in ways that might be too risky to ask another owner to take on. “In those cases, we could look at a speculative project or something I’d build myself, which gives the yard more design freedom. But it depends on what the team at <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/64" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Oceanco (Company)">Oceanco</a> wants to try.”It is a revealing answer. For an industry often shrouded in secrecy, Newell brings not only capital and innovation, but a refreshing openness. He jokes about his cats, shares anecdotes of his children, and speaks earnestly about wanting yachts to be seen as good actors in the communities they visit.Marcel, speaking towards the end of the call, agreed wholeheartedly. “What has always bothered me most in 30 years is the secrecy and gossip,” he reflected. “In the years ahead, we want to lead by example, and transparency will be part of that.”<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/367971/image/large-02a0541df7b4d8e25e92bf73af030e34.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/367971">Gabe also noted that many of his peers in the American tech world “aren’t nearly as aware of yachts and yachting as a lot of people in Europe,” and that simply getting them onboard could be transformative. “It’s a little like shooting fish in a barrel,” he said with a grin. “There are so many people who would never think about yachts, but once they experience it, they’ll realise it has an important role to play in their lives.” For Newell, the challenge lies in making the sales process experiential, because simply getting potential owners onboard, he argued, is often enough to change perceptions entirely.As the call drew to a close, he turned the tables on the assembled journalists: “What do you want <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/64" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Oceanco (Company)">Oceanco</a> to do?” It was a fitting end from a man whose career has been built on questioning assumptions, listening closely and then reimagining what is possible.

Shaped by a design philosophy that conveys strength without force and confidence without extravagance, the profile is marked by harmonious proportions, creating a floating sanctuary defined by light, fluidity and tranquillity.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/372474/image/large-8de32fd99fc4b9bc8929dfd0d18d65af.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/372474"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/372477/image/large-7dae93176dc872dc99b807afdd481328.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/372477">Aura’s exterior design takes inspiration from marine-inspired lines, with five spacious decks cascading gently aft to form a flowing sequence of terraces. Her metallic hull catches the light in changing tones, while the interiors are defined by expansive glass façades, bright lounges bathed in natural light, and generous open-air spaces<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/372469/image/large-b963c80e1b9dec8ef0117b21692982a1.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/372469"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/372467/image/large-35ddc63e08bff801f3e3ab62914150b5.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/372467">The beach club and main deck lounge are connected by a dramatic double-height atrium, crowned by the radiant ‘Breath of Light’ installation at the core of Aura. These spaces transition seamlessly between lively social gatherings and serene moments of retreat. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/372476/image/large-6d3ec61553159e4c7c11f06e8ac4b893.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/372476">The main deck lounge opens onto a 750-square-metre terrace centred on a 12-metre glass-bottom infinity pool. Just below, the beach lounge offers sweeping sea views, with fold-down hatches that transform into sea-level terraces: one arranged as a dining pavilion, the other providing direct and effortless access to the water.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/372483/image/large-b588736619476d6b17533f00369b0c48.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/372483"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/372484/image/large-cf887774df2f95a78b748f82169024c8.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/372484">Another key social space is the panorama lounge on the upper deck, covering 340 square metres. Designed as the yacht’s central residential gathering point, it hosts dining, entertaining and celebrations. The full-beam layout flows into 660 square metres of fore and aft terraces, where soft-toned custom furnishings create a welcoming, relaxed atmosphere.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/372486/image/large-b8f9d898253d3505014bb78b17ea67b5.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/372486"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/372478/image/large-a9d2417c2888a205e948ecb44ba30882.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/372478">At an estimated volume of &nbsp;8978 GT, Aura can accommodate up to 16 guests across eight staterooms, comprising an owner’s stateroom, six VIP staterooms and one VIP suite. Accommodations for 47 staff and crew members are also available.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/372481/image/large-f7063f5de6ef1365cde9ae6c7b389750.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/372481"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/372489/image/large-f101fc92f6fa680c3570185835de4474.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/372489">The owner’s stateroom occupies the highest full deck, providing a serene retreat that reflects bespoke minimalism. Spanning 240 square metres, the suite includes a forward-facing bedroom opening onto an expansive private deck, a fluid his-and-hers bathroom and two circular dressing rooms. Aft lies a secluded lounge that extends onto a 480-square-metre terrace with two distinct settings, ideal for sunrise breakfasts or afternoon reading. Floor-to-ceiling windows complete the sense of openness.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/372482/image/large-e4596fa86b86dbcf393962961cfffbe5.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/372482"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/372480/image/large-ccdff50e874e7e42767ad5b9c9db9863.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/372480">Another standout accommodation is the VIP suite on the main deck, which includes dual bathrooms, separate dressing areas and a private lounge adjoining the bedroom. Floor-to-ceiling windows flood the space with light, while natural wood, stone, reclaimed textiles and custom furnishings evoke the feel of a luxury beach retreat.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/372479/image/large-7227128a3d01761c067660036cedcea0.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/372479">Aura’s observation lounge sits at the pinnacle of the yacht as a secluded private haven. A ripple-patterned glass-ceramic floor leads the gaze to floor-to-ceiling façades that slide open, erasing the divide between interior and horizon. Suspended above, a striking spherical glass installation evokes the boundlessness of space and time, while flexible seating provides an ideal setting for contemplative moments onboard.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/372477/image/large-7dae93176dc872dc99b807afdd481328.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/372477">The diver’s club is another highlight of the design. Guests enter through a concealed, blue-lit circular corridor described as a “sculptural passage” leading into the space. Within the space, a sculpted glass bar is framed by etched-glass cabinets showcasing diving suits and equipment. Above, light pours through the yacht’s glass-bottom pool, casting reflections throughout the room.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/372472/image/large-e49b20d260953c29580d5f665ab4b8f0.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/372472"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/372473/image/large-50409a931f1d13d4d0d647fa71aa9190.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/372473">Finally, more than just a command centre, the transparent wheelhouse is designed as an elevated, light-filled space. Featuring full-height windows and sliding doors to the sea, it combines elevated guest seating with a fully integrated, AI-infused sailing system, offering the captain fingertip precision and panoramic views.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/372471/image/large-dd62b547e9af53d0b03e8a3543953c21.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/372471">“Aura is ready to be built.

Currently under construction, Rafale embodies a balance of sculptural elegance, contemporary living and hybrid innovation, and marks a bold new design direction for the Istanbul-based shipyard.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/371941/image/large-adfbba3f83d0c98264903ed9af123c77.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/371941">&nbsp;A sculptural exterior &nbsp;Penned by Jonny Horsfield of <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/161" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="H2 Yacht Design (Company)">H2 Yacht Design</a>, Rafale is defined by flowing, dynamic lines that cascade from bow to stern in a sweeping sheer. The result is an undulating, wave-like profile that visually elongates her five decks. Horsfield explained that the intention was to deliver a more classically inspired superyacht silhouette while maintaining a contemporary edge.For Horsfield, the design was an opportunity to reinterpret <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/224" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Turquoise Yachts (Company)">Turquoise</a>’s proven platform: “Rafale is an attempt to completely rethink what has gone before. From a styling point of view, I wanted to come up with a much more obviously big-yacht look – a very classic, smart aesthetic that feels universally appealing.”<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/372112/image/large-aaf9ad2fe36823b728b7fbb790094639.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/372112">This philosophy manifests in details such as reverse chamfering across the superstructure, where concave white surfaces replace traditional outward bulges. “It’s not just copy and paste. When you look carefully, you see reverse chamfering across the white sections, which gives a sharper, more architectural effect,” Horsfield explained. “It offers something completely different, even though it still fits onto the same platform.” The effect introduces sharp edges and a subtle architectural refinement, creating a look that is at once timeless and fresh.Though based on the yard’s tried-and-tested 80-metre platform, four hulls of which are currently in-build, Rafale is an entirely new vessel – a deliberate move to expand the flexibility of the yard’s engineering base.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/371943/image/large-539d3fd09106f00b45c37a5b50e719bb.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/371943">Versatile living and hybrid performance&nbsp;Behind her powerful exterior, Rafale offers a carefully considered approach to outdoor living. Three swimming pools are positioned across the main, owner and sun decks, while a vast beach club opens on three sides at water level. Outdoor areas are tiered to allow for both sociable gatherings and private retreats, blending shaded lounges with open-air terraces.Inside, <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/161" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="H2 Yacht Design (Company)">H2 Yacht Design</a> has carried forward the theme of versatility. The owner’s suite includes a private office, his and hers dressing rooms and bathrooms, and direct access to a forward terrace and pool. Six further guest cabins and a sequence of lounges and entertainment areas are spread across three decks, unified by a sculptural spiral staircase.Constructed with a steel hull and aluminium superstructure, Rafale will be built to <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/554" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Lloyds Ships (Company)">Lloyd’s Register</a> classification and fly the Cayman Islands flag.

Concepthull Studio has unveiled the renderings and details of the 53-metre superyacht concept Luminea at this year’s <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Event/271" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Monaco Yacht Show - 2025">Monaco Yacht Show</a>, which the design studio describes as an “architecture upon water”.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/372658/image/large-c1398f5b82ec33e1130fd42a13c13b82.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/372658">Luminea features an elongated hull that conveys strength without aggression. Subtle vertical cuts in the structure serve both form and function, discreetly concealing elements such as hawseholes within the bow.Moreover, her three decks appear to float in gentle suspension, with wooden terraces stretched rather than stacked, giving her form a sense of rhythm and openness. While the general arrangement is still in progress, the focus on balancing performance, range, and onboard comfort reflects the design philosophy: “The spirit of the yacht is harmony. Every plane, every interval, every proportion exists in conversation with the next,” commented Concepthull.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/372657/image/large-178c5cb5dfb520232e8c9729232ea121.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/372657">At a volume of approximately 720 GT, the vessel can accommodate up to 12 guests across six staterooms, including a full-beam owner’s suite. Accommodation for 11 to 12 crew members is also provided.Furthermore, Luminea is imagined as a reflection of her future owner. “The person who belongs to Luminea is not defined by possession, but by perception. He is drawn to spaces where silence carries weight, where detail reveals meaning,” added Concepthull. The design is intended not simply as a yacht, but as an expression of lifestyle and philosophy.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/372660/image/large-e526c8be055627c6f39239284e5b3966.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/372660">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> engines, with an alternative hybrid configuration under study, Luminea is expected to achieve a cruising speed of 14 knots and a maximum speed of 18 knots. With a range of approximately 4,800 nautical miles, she is designed for both private enjoyment and extended cruising.

Reduce is the 36-metre flagship of <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/899" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Silver Yachts (Company)">SilverYacht’s</a> SilverCat series. Her beam stretches 13 metres, creating generous spacing unique to a catamaran superyacht, yet she sits below the 500 GT requirement. Reduce's name is emblematic of the philosophy behind her design and construction: to lower her footprint. This catamaran motor sailing yacht is making her way up to the Monaco Yacht Show, where guests can step onboard to admire her sleek yet warm interiors.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/370804/image/large-8b2505be99f789f06f9c97374c00bb06.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/370804">Built for the next generationStepping onboard Reduce is like stepping into a floating summerhouse.

Designed to fit a catamaran, the slender hulls provide transverse stability and create the ideal platform for a floating summer house.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/370798/image/large-ca32a96fc71111d59ef330b6d8c6d2e4.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/370798">“It’s my own idea of a sustainable yacht and reducing the complexity of the systems to have a moving summerhouse on the water with low operating budget, not comparable to a 55-metre monohull operation of 499 GT,” notes Guido Krass. Not only that, Reduce has a fast but frugal fuel consumption with a very low draft, of 160 cm made of aluminum lightweight. Her 40.000 litre tank makes her last all season, with an anchor consumption of 200 litres per 24 hours.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/370801/image/large-bfc1456468b5660e622b9be1c2768c15.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/370801"> Reduce has four azipods with eight propellers and simple engine rooms, requiring little maintenance. When all four engines are on, Reduce cruises at 22-24 knots. Her more economical cruising, with only two engines, goes to a speed of 12-14 knots. The superyacht features the new <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/5350" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Volvo Penta (Company)">Volvo Penta</a> IPS 4.000 hp Yacht propulsion, one of the most efficient systems available offering superb manoeuvre ability and up to 30 percent fuel reduction.

Measuring an impressive 400 square metres, Reduce's interior spaces sport pale oak flooring, complimenting the bright shades of gold, brown, and grey that colour the inside. The exterior space covers 480 square-metres, with open and covered lounging areas on three decks.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/370793/image/large-fc73f5e70ceba11335f9504a63d1d81b.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/370793">The saloon is located on the main deck and enjoys an open floor plan, sharing the large space with a formal dining area. Split by a sliding glass door, the saloon further opens up onto the outer deck which hosts lounging areas and a 5.5-metre freshwater pool. At night, the pool is transformed into a large lounging bed, ideal for stargazing.From main deck, guests can head down to Reduce's aft and take a plunge or enjoy one of the many water toys available. Otherwise, guests can head upstairs to the bridge deck, where a covered dining area overlooks the swimming pool. The sun deck hosts another bar and a sun protected table for alfresco lunches, ideal for a spectacular sunset view, and sports plush white lounge beds with an accent of blue across the entire space.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/370797/image/large-0c6899404ab1125788ab40085663c9c0.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/370797">Reduce can host up to 12 guests in five staterooms, as well as seven crew, including the captain, across cabins. The master stateroom is full width with a large glass front facing the 150 square-metre private foredeck terraces. There is a study and bathroom ensuite, which enjoy the same oak coloured cabinets as the master suite. The other four staterooms all enjoy an ocean view and ensuite bathrooms. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/370799/image/large-3eda4e4a5ca6f0c8bafc1397a7f0ba33.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/370799">The galley borders this outdoor area and has large, glass windows to provide an ocean view while cooking.Each stateroom onboard Reduce has Art Frame TV’s and an integrated, simple to use Spotify music system.

The project marks the studio’s return to the segment nearly two decades after introducing the Naumachos 82, a design credited with opening a new path in the explorer yacht market.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/372816/image/large-099250d1e192f8a781e97fd894750d6d.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/372816">Reflecting on that first project, <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/1181" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Hydro Tec (Company)">Hydro Tec’s</a> Founder and President Sergio Cutolo explained during the presentation, “Thirty years ago, we designed the first pocket explorer, which was completely different at the time. The concept originally came from an experienced yachtsman close to his seventies. What is interesting today is that many clients in their thirties and forties are now looking for this kind of boat, which is changing the paradigm of the explorer yacht.”<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/372821/image/large-e78c2cb70ff4960d6563625f373b86f0.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/372821"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/372824/image/large-74a43fbad71d4c2ca0fa3ccbc3ef1b51.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/372824">Cutolo emphasised the generational shift in both clients and design, noting that the new concept was developed together with designer Arthur Colle, whom he described as “more used to and much closer to the clients, to the real clients, than I am.”<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/372827/image/large-e1b1d24087a0e558d6c54d49ac9ca47c.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/372827">Arthur outlined the three pillars behind Vagrant, the return of “hardest features” such as the funnel, the creation of a design applicable to all generations, and the continuation of <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/1181" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Hydro Tec (Company)">Hydro Tec’s</a> design DNA. “The result is a design which brings the future of explorers by celebrating the past,” he said.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/372830/image/large-2d17a16250b891c799e391ed4d7f9a97.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/372830">The yacht draws on heritage references such as symmetry, a gentleman-style helm station, and a steamship-inspired funnel, while also incorporating 1970s retro-futuristic influences like exposed engine air intakes.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/372818/image/large-ff4e508e2847dd523b7f069c26e7c122.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/372818">One of the defining elements is the central funnel, which has evolved beyond its technical origins to become both a structural and aesthetic feature. Arthur described the challenge: “The funnel was too big, too bulky, and we didn’t really know what to do with it,” explained Colle. “But instead of shying away, we turned it into something integral, it became the staircase, the crow’s nest, the bar, and ultimately a part of the structural design.”<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/372815/image/large-197cf5a7acbe9860ed7d176fc4cac267.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/372815">This approach allowed <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/1181" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Hydro Tec (Company)">Hydro Tec</a> to reduce the load on lateral supports and create a glazed saloon with open-corner sliding doors. The result is a layout where the boundary between interior and exterior spaces dissolves. “We wanted to take the idea of openness one step further,” Colle added. “Not just connecting interior and exterior, but making them one.”<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/372831/image/large-6e51604a994c8d4e66ab82299c4204fd.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/372831">The concept features an informal open-plan main saloon with panoramic views, flexible furniture arrangements, and details such as a wine cellar below the staircase. On the upper deck, the design includes a multipurpose space that can function as a gym, dining area, or social club.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/372826/image/large-87b950a7785af5b3b4900938143c4088.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/372826">From a technical perspective, <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/1181" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Hydro Tec (Company)">Hydro Tec</a> has proposed a conventional diesel propulsion system with the possibility of integrating hybrid technologies depending on owner preference. Key dimensions include a 35-metre length, beam of 7.6 metres, and a draft just under 2.99 metres to remain within regulatory limits. The design also targets efficiency over speed, with a projected top speed of around 13 knots.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/372817/image/large-032af6d446d35e00681f0250c940862b.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/372817">In closing his presentation, Cutolo noted the significance of the project in the context of <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/1181" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Hydro Tec (Company)">Hydro Tec’s</a> anniversary: “With Vagrant we celebrate not only our thirty-year history, but also the evolution of the Pocket Explorer, a concept that continues to adapt to the needs of a new generation of yacht owners.”
