<a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/5771" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Optima Design (Company)">Optima Design</a> has unveiled their redesigns for the Amer F 106 and 96 Sanremo motor yacht models. In addition, the <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/1364" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Permare s.r.l. (Company)">Permare</a> Amer 120 model is being replaced by the 38.4-metre Amer 126 model.&nbsp;The studio began a collaboration with the Amerio family four years ago, when they designed the steel and aluminium Amer line ranging from 40 to 74-metres in length. While a 70-metre yacht and a 50-metre yacht are currently under construction, <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/5771" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Optima Design (Company)">Optima Design</a> has now redesigned the new F 106 model, F 126 model, the 96 Sanremo model and a full-aluminium L 146 model. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/336815/image/large-84bd414d0f979f2b07c00164fc55a78f.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/336815">The Amer F 106 model&nbsp;The first of the redesigned models is the 32.3-metre Amer F 106 yacht, which is already under construction and slated for delivery in 2026. Like the Amer F 126 yacht, she is composed of a fibreglass hull, while her deck is in basalt fiber that functions as a recyclable material, using ecological resins and recycled PET for core.&nbsp;Staying true to the signature traits of the shipyard’s latest creations, the Amer F 106 yacht displays a similar full-beam width to the previous 120 model, paving the way for a larger saloon. From the outside, her exterior silhouette displays a maximum height window at the saloon’s entrance for far-reaching views of the outdoors. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/345575/image/large-7daccb3221099f53505b64bf0917b9f7.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/345575">Furthermore, her exterior areas are also developed to maintain contact with the sea, flowing from the stern’s sunpad to the side stairs which connect the main deck to the fly deck.On her flybridge, the Amer F 106 yacht includes a sunbathing area at the stern, while another sunbathing area can be found in front of the wheelhouse, evolved with reverse glass for sun protection as well as improved visibility.&nbsp;Read:&nbsp;<a data-gid="gid://syiq/Article/61951" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="From idea to delivery: Antonio Luxardo on Optima Design's DNA (2024-11-08 15:45:00 +0100)">From idea to delivery: Antonio Luxardo on Optima Design's DNA</a>Indoors, the motor yacht’s main deck contains a full-beam saloon, a full-beam owner’s suite, and a port side galley, offering the option for two side terraces amidships. Remaining guests are accommodated on the lower deck, where four staterooms and a crew area can be found. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/345573/image/large-455ab316a73fc9239e5e3f2457730a9b.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/345573">The Amer F 106 yacht’s tender is housed in a stern garage. Composed of an aluminium superstructure and performance hull to reduce consumption and emissions, the yacht is propelled by Volvo Penta IPS engines. According to Antonio Luxardo of <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/5771" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Optima Design (Company)">Optima Design</a>, “Energy-saving systems are the starting point, which is very important, first saving energy and then trying to produce zero impact.” <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/345586/image/large-4c837a0ef19026c7310b9f18c527dabd.jpeg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/345586">The Amer 96 Sanremo model Similarly to the Amer F 106 yacht, the Amer 96 Sanremo yacht is designed with a fibreglass hull and aluminium superstructure. Described by her designer as a “sporty and fast boat”, she is powered with triple IPS engines.&nbsp;The motor yacht’s main deck is home to a saloon and four staterooms for accommodating those onboard. On deck, a large foredeck area and a spacious sundeck provide alfresco entertainment and relaxation.This yacht is furnished with a seating arrangement on the aft, which connects with the aft cockpit. Meanwhile, two stairs lead the way from this space to the 10-metre-long sundeck featuring sunbathing areas, a dinette and a wheelhouse. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/345587/image/large-4532024585b34d8688fbadf7577c9fca.jpeg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/345587">“The products are the result of the technical and sales experience of the family, so we have to transfer all the information including customers' needs into the project. For them we follow the whole process from the blank sheet to delivery, we have a team of technicians that we move to the shipyard to develop the executive project according to the needs of production, a very significant point of our work,” Luxardo explained.

She is meant to exceed the standards in its class while delivering excellent performance and seamless continuity between living spaces.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/397612/image/large-a0c80a11cb7f9777cd06ffd65f822ed0.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/397612">Her exterior follows the established language of the GTX range, characterised by a near-vertical bow, a continuous slightly convex sheer line and the brand's Anniversary Silver hull finish. Her stern features two fold-down side terraces which, when opened, expand the cockpit to a total surface area of 37 square metres. Moreover, a garage aft provides storage for both a tender and a Jet Ski.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/397609/image/large-52c1409c702993610aab7e11cbb9f92c.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/397609">A defining feature of the new model is its 33-square-metre sportsbridge, which Pershing notes is 43 percent more spacious than the average for yachts of this size. On her main deck, a five-panel glass door creates a seamless connection between the interior and exterior living areas. Furthermore, the widebody saloon is designed for entertaining during voyage, featuring a &nbsp;show galley with a bar counter, a formal dining area for eight, alongside a lounge anchored by an L-shaped sofa .

Pershing unveils 27m GTX90 Sport Utility yacht

Pershing has unveiled the new 27m GTX90 Sport Utility yacht, featuring a 43% larger sportsbridge, expanded living spaces and a top speed of 35 knots.

<a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/374" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Sanlorenzo (Company)">Sanlorenzo</a> has unveiled the new SL80A, introducing the shipyard's iconic asymmetric architecture to the most concentrated interpretation of its historic SL line.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/397501/image/large-3c2c4040a8060ff3b9d5d0a05b4fe870.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/397501">Described as the "First Icon" of the range, the SL80A intends to distill more than 40 years of <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/374" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Sanlorenzo (Company)">Sanlorenzo</a> design into what the shipyard calls the purest expression of its design philosophy. Devised under 24-metres, the SL80A is designed to deliver the openness, refinement and liveability typically associated with significantly larger yachts.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/397504/image/large-8113495dfc492d411659b809265baaa4.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/397504">The first SL80A features exterior design and interior design by <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/105" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Zuccon International Project (Company)">Zuccon International Project</a>, continuing the studio’s long-standing collaboration with the Italian shipyard that has shaped the evolution of the SL line for decades.Taut yet balanced proportions, clean architectural lines and a strong continuity between her hull and superstructure preserve the distinctive identity of the SL line. Her flybridge, which is a defining feature of the SL line, fits seamlessly into the yacht's silhouette, highlighting her elegance without adding visual weight. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/397502/image/large-e5489eb92275a143ef9bb950e314aaa9.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/397502">A defining feature of the SL80A is the further evolution of <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/374" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Sanlorenzo (Company)">Sanlorenzo'</a>s asymmetric architecture, which was first introduced by the shipyard in 2018. By relocating the side passage to starboard, the interior volume on the port side expands. This increases onboard liveability by up to 20 percent, while strengthening the flow between her interior and exterior spaces, without altering the yacht's balanced proportions.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/397505/image/large-b9c28e04016c5c824ff4d1e8130042a0.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/397505">Accommodation onboard the SL80A is arranged across four guest staterooms, including a full-beam owner’s suite. Her main deck is designed to be bright and open thanks to full-height windows that also provide uninterrupted sea views. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/397508/image/large-ee603728cded8784d7d31d7571340e38.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/397508"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/397511/image/large-9340e39cc8d89d66baf5ece8bfe32d96.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/397511" 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;">Meanwhile, the asymmetric layout allows the saloon to feel wider and more architectural in character. A mezzanine-level helm preserves visibility while freeing up space for the living areas below.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/397510/image/large-beea15d848f8f06760a8dba08a589b4f.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/397510" 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;">Inside, the yacht embraces a warm and contemporary theme, featuring warm materials such as Thai walnut, selected for its natural dialogue with the exterior teak decks. Throughout the yacht, bespoke "Azteca" parquet by Cadorin can be found, adding a geometric rhythm inspired by triangular forms. This pattern is repeated on wall panels and bed headboards to create a consistent look.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/397509/image/large-f31556ccb3ab8089a47edb9650a5bc58.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/397509" 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;">Moving outside, the aft cockpit opens fully onto the water, making it easier to enjoy the sea view.

Recognisable by her two-tone hull, her softened superstructure edges provide a more approachable look without losing the robust character of an explorer yacht.38XPC with a more classic configuration &nbsp;The 38XPC takes a more classic approach, drawing inspiration from gentleman’s yachts with a layout that focuses on balance and calmness. While it shares the same platform with the 39MXPC, her design emphasises a more contained and structured onboard experience.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/391850/image/large-0222f4b4bd383c6bdef421b156d26245.jpeg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/391850">As with her sistership, 38XPC’s exterior features clean lines and a seamless deck flow, underlining clarity and proportion.

For the first time, the signature fashion plates are frameless, while Grigio Europa glass inserts add a sophisticated effect through subtle light and shadow reflections.“The Mangusta GranSport 50 has everything one expects of a Mangusta yacht: a highly recognizable sporty profile that embraces generous, stylishly harmonised interiors and exteriors, in an engineering feat that combines high speed, fuel efficiency, and unmatched comfort with trans-oceanic range,” commented <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/473" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Overmarine Group SPA (Company)">Overmarine Group</a> CEO Maurizio Balducci.Meanwhile, the new Mangusta GranSport 50 interiors place a strong emphasis on openness, with each deck designed to offer a distinct interpretation of life onboard. She accommodates up to 12 guests across five well-appointed staterooms, while nine crew members are housed in five dedicated cabins. The full-beam master suite features extensive glazing and can be fitted with an automatically operated balcony. The entire main deck is now devoted to the owner with the galley relocated to the lower deck.Described by the shipyard as an ‘elevated escape,’ the sundeck serves as an exclusive terrace where guests can enjoy panoramic views. The yacht introduces an elevated perspective through a layout spanning three and a half decks, complemented by a raised pilothouse (RPH). The ‘Upper Deck-and-a-Half’ configuration creates a higher helm position, offering enhanced visibility during navigation.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/389576/image/large-d973d16b6a6383e8931af5d650491841.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/389576">President of <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/473" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Overmarine Group SPA (Company)">Mangusta Americas</a> Stefano Arlunno oversaw the design process. “The inspiration behind the Mangusta GranSport 50 is equally simple and revolutionary: to offer ‘1/2 more' - half a deck more,” said Stefano.With the pilothouse positioned on the upper deck, additional space is freed up forward, maximising the potential of this area. It now features the signature infinity pool alongside a panoramic lounge. The pool, characterised by its minimalist design, has been reimagined as a central feature of the deck.“The Raised Pilot House changes everything: we wanted to free up the upper deck by envisaging new configurations that would radically redefine the onboard experience and create spaces to live, and not just to walk through. On this vessel, the sea doesn’t simply surround you; it also stretches out right in front of you,” added Stefano.&nbsp;Moreover, the owner can choose between two pre-engineered configurations: the lounge area may instead be transformed into a sixth panoramic cabin filled with natural light or a private family lounge or office overlooking the bow and infinity pool. This latter option effectively turns the entire level into the owner’s private deck, repurposing an area traditionally reserved for the bridge for the exclusive enjoyment of the owner and their guests.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/389575/image/large-f4e5095b8f4dd1055ed3a6fb00e57164.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/389575">At the bow, an integrated side-opening garage provides ample space for a 6.3-metre tender and two JetSkis, leaving the stern completely unobstructed. A standout feature aft is the dramatic central staircase linking the main cockpit to the swim platform. Two curved side wings, sculpted like supercar doors, unfold to reveal a private beach club that can transform into a lounge on the water or a panoramic gym with sweeping sea views. Meanwhile, the sun loungers, seamlessly integrated into the transom, build upon a design concept seen on the Mangusta GranSport 38.With a volume of 499 GT and a beam of 9.6-metres, the new Mangusta GranSport 50 yacht is propelled by twin <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/1409" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="MTU (Company)">MTU</a> engines, giving her a cruising speed of 16 knots and a top speed of 20 knots.“Today, true luxury means space flexibility, brightness, and freedom - this yacht embodies them all,” concluded Alberto.

<a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/1394" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Ocean Alexander (Company)">Ocean Alexander</a> has unveiled the new 31.58-metre 30P and 40.27-metre 40P yacht models, both completing the Puro Series, alongside the previously introduced 35P. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/389313/image/large-49b0ae31bff7dc6b1525826a34686b78.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/389313">First unveiled in 2024 with the debut of the 35P, the Puro series has been conceived as a range of yachts defined by a shared design language centred on “purity of form, calm confidence, and a more refined expression of life on the water.”Developed in collaboration with Italian designer Giorgio M. Cassetta of <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/4478" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Cassetta Yacht Designers (Company)">Cassetta Yacht Designers</a> and naval architect Andrea Agrusta of <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/5432" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="NavalHEAD Srl (Company)">NavalHEAD</a>, the Puro Series reflects a cohesive approach to contemporary yacht design. Clean lines, composed proportions and carefully considered spaces define the series, with each model tailored to its scale while maintaining a consistent identity. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/389308/image/large-db0d647fc04b5fbe39083a2cecf95199.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/389308" 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;">The 30P brings the Puro philosophy into a versatile 31.58-metre platform with an interior volume of 225 GT, combining sculpted exterior lines with generous living spaces, well-suited to entertaining and extended voyages. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/389311/image/large-1a8cce744ff49d78d91f1cfe5331f238.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/389311" 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;">At the other end of the range, the 40P serves as the flagship of the series, expanding the Puro concept into a larger platform. Measuring 40.27-metres with an interior volume of 357 GT, the 40P emphasises scale while retaining the same design language seen across the series.On the outside, The 30P presents a sleek, tri-deck profile with strong glazing and a lifestyle-focused aft deck arrangement. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/389312/image/large-7f5fbfb2b956a46eee56d0440798c86f.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/389312">Stepping inside, the 30P favours a more residential approach, with intimate living spaces and clean understated detailing. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/389316/image/large-cd78f8cbde909c66e24ab4fa701ffacc.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/389316"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/389327/image/large-5b005709b940146c87b37251455bc1a2.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/389327">In contrast, the exteriors of 40P adopts a more expansive form, a taller profile, heavier deck layering, and a more pronounced stern arrangement. The 40P’s beach club and glass-fronted pool is a true focal point for the yacht, rather than just an amenity.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/389347/image/large-607379235c0c2482d1164d64f94239cd.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/389347"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/389344/image/large-e9eb38ed49b78e661e103fc350a96a65.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/389344"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/389346/image/large-9b9ce6985838b2b2be50d542b7b02424.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/389346">Inside, 40P pushes the design into superyacht territory, with a larger open-plan layout and increased spatial separation, particularly in the owner’s suite and upper deck lounges. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/389352/image/large-a53a8b06c6f317128fbdec8f0c988d6f.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/389352"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/389348/image/large-c59036fdbc74573105b09b2a804b7421.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/389348"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/389355/image/large-d4801d616fbbfcc4d90009e256f1d297.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/389355">In terms of performance, both models are powered by twin <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/1441" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="MAN (Company)">MAN</a> engines.

The 23.85-metre superyacht, named <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/16808" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Slow Ride23.85m (78'3&quot;)Bering Yachts2026">Slow Ride</a>, is currently in process of delivery at <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/4385" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Bering Yachts (Company)">Bering Yachts</a>, in Turkey. Earlier this year, Paul visited the yard for the yacht’s official launch.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/398589/image/large-392751553f2d2f178de6f73300a22a02.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/398589">The yacht’s name comes from a song by Foghat, and is something Paul’s entire family connected with. “We narrowed it down from about a 100 names to 10, and then five and then three, and eventually I just pulled the trigger. <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/16808" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Slow Ride23.85m (78'3&quot;)Bering Yachts2026">Slow Ride</a> made the most sense, we all related to it”, recalls Paul, who is very much a family man. On a cloudy day in January, as the yacht was launched, Paul blasted 'Slow Ride'&nbsp;on the yacht’s speakers whilst taking the yacht for her very first ride.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/382519/image/large-136ef5f4fa7f10e6c8be257f7d67b10b.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/382519" 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;"> Love at first sightPaul has closely followed the build process along. “From the time of ordering the boat to hand over, it’s a long period,” shares Paul. Yet building his very own yacht is something Paul has thought about for a long time. “We’ve had used boats, I’ve always fixed them up, put the systems I wanted on them,” Paul continues, “I was watching boating videos and stumbled upon the <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/16808" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Slow Ride23.85m (78'3&quot;)Bering Yachts2026">Bering Yachts</a> channel, and decided to give them a call.”“Honestly, we didn’t actually look anywhere else,” Paul mentions, “when I saw the videos and chatted with Alexei, he was just so down-to-earth, and I loved the style of the boat, it was unique looking.” Paul felt like the <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/4385" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Bering Yachts (Company)">Bering Yachts</a> Shipyard in Antalya was the right fit, “the yacht is a steel hull, which is precisely what I was looking for.”Having always owned pre-built yachts, Paul’s patience has been tested, not just because of his excitement to cruise onboard the yacht, but also because a week after signing the deal, Paul’s other yacht, sitting in Fort Myers, Florida, was destroyed by hurricane Ian. “It’s quite surreal that it happened like that.” Getting to launch the yacht and see her touch the water was a great moment of both relief and excitement.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/382538/image/large-b3a6aabc47478833dc3131bd137e923b.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/382538">Designing a superyachtThe yacht is a semi-custom, so while the bones were pre-designed, there were plenty of choices left for Paul and his family to decide on. The stand-out choice has been the colour of the hull: “we probably went through 15 or 20 different colour renders, and Carol likes blue, so we were searching for the perfect colour” Paul recalls. Upon finding a colour they liked, Paul asked the yard to send a big colour swatch: “a computer only shows so much, but as soon as we saw the swatch we fell in love with the colour.”The interiors feature a softer, more neutral palette than the teal exterior, across an open floor plan that seamlessly connects the galley with the saloon and features large windows, providing plenty of natural lighting. The galley looks out onto the aft deck, where a table for ten creates the ideal place for al fresco dining, enjoying sunsets or a delicious morning coffee.A diesel electrician by trade, Paul is especially happy with how the engine room turned out. “Anything mechanical I love,” Paul highlights, “we’ve packed that room like you can’t believe: we’ve changed some of the electronics, the AC systems, upgraded it to 48 volt.” The engine room was expanded, getting rid of the crew head, as “we’re not really crew people anyways.” <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/382508/image/large-8957a0d4c70d67e74479c8a653443b1a.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/382508" 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;">Feeling secure<a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/16808" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Slow Ride23.85m (78'3&quot;)Bering Yachts2026">Slow Ride</a> marks a sense of security, but also of freedom, and a big point of purchasing a yacht was ensuring Paul and Carol could manage it themselves: &nbsp;“It’s important to us that we can run the yacht by ourselves; not having to run upstairs, worrying about fenders.”The yachts that Paul previously owned were great, but ”they never had everything on it that we wanted; I was constantly busy converting yachts we purchased,” shares Paul. With <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/16808" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Slow Ride23.85m (78'3&quot;)Bering Yachts2026">Slow Ride</a>, Paul has “all the systems onboard: not having to go in for pump outs anymore because there is a sewage treatment plan onboard and dual water makers so you have the back-up.” A lot of the technological systems introduced onboard are not just for comfort of long distance cruising, but also to feel safe and secure when cruising: “Just knowing all this is onboard, in case something happens while cruising with my family, I don’t worry so much,” shares Paul.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/398588/image/large-2631ff32ceef53dd64b3c6380ef5683d.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/398588" style="box-sizing: inherit; border: 0px; font-family: &quot;Open Sans&quot;, sans-serif; position: relative; max-width: 100%; margin: 1rem 0px; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 13.6px; font-style: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; white-space: normal; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); text-decoration-thickness: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; text-decoration-color: initial;">A sense of freedomOne place that is definitely on the cruising destination is a little fishermen village, near the shipyard that Paul and Carol visited a while ago. “We befriended the owner of a restaurant, he’s a fantastic chef, and we promised that once we have the yacht, we’ll come visit and enjoy dinner together.”&nbsp;Besides the shores of Turkey, Paul is eager to explore the Mediterranean: “We’ve never boated in the Mediterranean, but I’ve done lots of research on it, followed lots of sailboaters online.” Having itineraries planned out, thanks to fellow yachties, and with the yacht ready cruise, Paul and Carol are bound to have a great summer in the Mediterranean, “getting as close to shore as I can with the shallow draft.”<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/398590/image/large-1289eb29cd7094aadb3ee64b0312c4f1.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/398590" 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;">
