<a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/71" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Tony Castro (Company)">Tony Castro Yacht Design</a> has unveiled the 68-metre sail-assisted motor yacht concept Samy, developed around an integrated propulsion system. The overall result is designed to reduce fuel consumption, while maintaining the comfort and volume of a standard motor yacht.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/399580/image/large-adb2289392555d842e3918aad74a060f.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/399580">According to <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/71" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Tony Castro (Company)">Tony Castro</a>, Samy, the ‘Sail-Assisted Motor Yacht’, has been created around "the most economical, intelligent propulsion solution" for a yacht intended to spend extended periods at sea.The 68-metre concept is centred around a system of inflatable sails and retractable masts, intended to preserve the yacht's exterior aesthetic while reducing windage, improving safety and minimising deck equipment.&nbsp;Her superstructure has been engineered to house booms capable of full 360-degree rotation. Moreover, rather than the rig being an added layer over a finished hull, the hull was drawn around the rig, resulting in a single integrated design.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/399582/image/large-d8226cf8ece3276b81e996b545112ec7.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/399582">According to the studio, the integrated sail-assist system enables Samy to complete long-distance passages using significantly less fuel than a conventional motor yacht. For a typical Mediterranean-to-Caribbean round trip, fuel savings are estimated at approximately 33,000 litres.&nbsp;As well as this, solar energy capture and modern windmills have also been incorporated into her superstructure, forming “a coherent energy architecture across the whole platform.” <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/399581/image/large-8487be49110570ec02b3d4f684f85dec.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/399581" style="box-sizing: inherit; border: 0px; font-family: &quot;Open Sans&quot;, sans-serif; position: relative; max-width: 100%; margin: 1rem 0px; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 13.6px; font-style: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; white-space: normal; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); text-decoration-thickness: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; text-decoration-color: initial;">As for outdoor living, the aft deck swimming pool on Samy serves as the exterior's centerpiece, complemented by generous lounge areas, alfresco dining, a Jacuzzi, and a fold-down beach club with direct water access.Stepping inside, the concept is designed to offer the interior volume and comfort of a motor yacht, despite its sail-assisted configuration. By integrating the propulsion system into the yacht's architecture, guest spaces remain spacious and uninterrupted while maintaining clean exterior lines.

Few yachts illustrate the value of long-term investment quite like the 59-metre explorer yacht <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/855" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Just B59.0m (193'7&quot;)Amels1973">Just B</a>. Originally built by <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/18" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Amels (Company)">Amels</a> in 1973 as a North Sea pilot vessel, the yacht has undergone an extensive multi-year renewal programme under her current ownership, resulting in a vessel that combines commercial-grade pedigree with a thoroughly modern technical platform.When SuperYacht Times first spoke with the owners of <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/855" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Just B59.0m (193'7&quot;)Amels1973">Just B</a> in 2024, the husband-and-wife team shared their ambition to create a yacht capable of genuine global exploration – a vision that ultimately shaped the unique vessel seen today. Since then, the project has continued to evolve, with significant investment directed towards the yacht's engineering infrastructure, operational capabilities and long-term cruising readiness.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/396865/image/large-469255e5fbe5f2a721e189fbab0deb38.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/396865">A platform built for exploration&nbsp;Unlike many explorer yachts conceived primarily for leisure use, <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/855" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Just B59.0m (193'7&quot;)Amels1973">Just B</a> began life as a working vessel designed to withstand the demanding conditions of the North Sea. Constructed by Dutch shipyard <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/18" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Amels (Company)">Amels</a>, her robust steel hull, deep draft and distinctive canoe stern continue to define her character today.For the owners, these attributes formed the foundation of the project. "We wanted something that could take us anywhere – and allow us to stay there," explains the owner. Rather than commissioning a new-build explorer yacht, the decision was made to invest in an existing platform with proven seakeeping credentials and adapt it for modern long-range cruising.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/396874/image/large-9204cd5f0c061c12486730ff720b5c79.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/396874">A comprehensive engineering renewal&nbsp;Central to the programme has been a substantial overhaul of the yacht's engineering systems. Over a series of refit periods spanning multiple years, <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/855" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Just B59.0m (193'7&quot;)Amels1973">Just B</a> has undergone extensive upgrades designed to modernise the vessel while preserving the strengths of her original construction.Among the most significant additions are three new Tier III-compliant <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/1450" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Volvo (Company)">Volvo</a> D16 generator sets, a new ABB variable frequency drive electrical architecture, new propulsion motors, a new bow thruster and <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/5020" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Quantum Marine Stabilizers (Company)">Quantum</a> XT zero-speed stabilisers. The yacht has also received a new switchboard, updated navigation equipment and modern communications systems, including Starlink connectivity.According to the yacht's engineering team, the focus was not on extending the life of aging systems but replacing critical infrastructure altogether. The result is a platform that combines the structural integrity of a commercial vessel with the reliability and operational flexibility expected of a contemporary explorer yacht.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/396913/image/large-1ea1b31cf6c6b22e5899fc40c000b351.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/396913">Proven through use&nbsp;While many explorer projects are judged on specification alone, <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/855" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Just B59.0m (193'7&quot;)Amels1973">Just B</a>'s credentials have been established through extensive real-world operation.Over the course of the current ownership, the yacht has logged more than 100,000 nautical miles, visiting destinations including Alaska, the Galápagos Islands, French Polynesia, Fiji and the Solomon Islands. Captain Gabriel Sayles, who has overseen numerous long-distance passages aboard the yacht, points to this cruising record as one of the vessel's defining achievements.Beyond reliability, one of <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/855" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Just B59.0m (193'7&quot;)Amels1973">Just B</a>'s most remarkable characteristics is her operational efficiency. Her diesel-electric propulsion system delivers exceptionally low fuel consumption for a yacht of her size, allowing the owners to undertake extended voyages while minimising fuel costs and reducing the logistical challenges often associated with remote cruising. Combined with enhanced redundancy, efficient power management and accurate low-speed manoeuvrability, the system has enabled the yacht to operate economically across some of the world's most isolated cruising grounds.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/397605/image/large-f151ecb3fe14a8958392ae178f727e5f.png" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/397605">Designed for life on board&nbsp;Alongside the technical works, <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/855" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Just B59.0m (193'7&quot;)Amels1973">Just B</a>'s interior has been extensively reimagined by <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/7530" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="The Wiseman Group (Company)">The Wiseman Group</a>, with her exterior executed by Dutch yacht design studio <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/15" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Vripack (Company)">Vripack</a>.Rather than pursuing a highly stylised aesthetic, the owners focused on creating an environment suited to extended periods on board. Natural materials, neutral tones and comfortable social spaces were prioritised throughout the interior, reflecting the yacht's intended role as a long-range home rather than a seasonal retreat. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/396875/image/large-af26625a93afa27e49230baba54521da.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/396875">The result is a yacht equally capable of undertaking multi-week ocean passages or serving as a comfortable base in remote anchorages far from conventional cruising infrastructure.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/397617/image/large-e8ebe05d2b1f55b5ad68a480040796d2.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/397617">Continuing the journey&nbsp;Today, <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/855" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Just B59.0m (193'7&quot;)Amels1973">Just B</a> stands as an example of an increasingly rare approach within the superyacht sector: the long-term evolution of an existing platform rather than replacement through a new-build project.With class surveys up to date, major engineering systems renewed and a decade of operational experience informing every stage of the programme, the yacht demonstrates how thoughtful investment can extend the relevance and capability of a proven vessel far beyond its original design brief.
