Italian designer <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/5522" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Marco Ferrari (Company)">Marco Ferrari</a> has revealed a new 80-metre superyacht concept known as M80, featuring hybrid electric propulsion and an Ice Class 1D hull designed for expeditions into remote and high-latitude waters.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/395711/image/large-5e2bb926c4e68013000d72b0f1317676.png" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/395711" 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;">Constructed entirely in aluminium, M80 has been conceived as a modern explorer yacht that boasts a lightweight hull and superstructure, with a low-profile silhouette and a focus on energy efficiency.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/395733/image/large-1a9a4714cf0993822813cc29e30e09d9.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/395733">The M80 is designed for owners who seek adventure, spanning from tropical paradises to the icy frontiers of polar and sub-polar regions.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/395719/image/large-b84e3131fde03314cc27569f8e7f4f80.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/395719">At the heart of her design is a diesel-electric hybrid propulsion system, elevated by twin Azipod contra-rotating thrusters and dynamic positioning capability. The yacht has been developed to maximise efficiency while reducing emissions and onboard noise levels.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/395727/image/large-a4837ca59b87942deeb203ec6ef20a03.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/395727" 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; text-decoration-thickness: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; text-decoration-color: initial; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">Three operating modes have been proposed. In Zero Mode or also known as Silent Mode, M80 would operate fully on electric propulsion, delivering vibration-free navigation with zero local emissions for up to eight hours, which would enable access to environmentally protected areas.In Eco-Hybrid Mode, diesel generators operate at optimal efficiency while electric motors provide propulsion, reducing fuel consumption by an estimated 25 to 30 percent. Meanwhile, Boost Mode combines diesel and electric power to maximise performance when required.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/395731/image/large-33077a8f7a2790cde018026b550701fa.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/395731">Among its unique features, the M80 boasts an underwater “Nemo Lounge, giving guests a view into the ocean’s depths. In addition, an extensive array of tenders and toys supports exploration and adventure, including two 11-metre tenders, Jet Skis, aerial UAVs and remotely operated underwater vehicles for subaquatic discovery.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/395710/image/large-a74c0ecaa984d5a5b600f8054b710e24.png" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/395710">The concept also incorporates a range of sustainability-focused technologies, including glass elements with integrated photovoltaics, advanced heat‑recovery systems and compatibility with HVO biofuel, which the designers say can cut emissions by up to 90 percent compared with conventional marine diesel.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/395728/image/large-811c3e2ad5d43adb8b3999943f2c3651.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/395728">Outside, M80 is characterised by angular lines, tiered deck arrangements and a continuous band of dark glazing that stretches through most of her superstructure. Renderings depict the yacht operating in both tropical regions and polar environments, which reflect the designer’s emphasis on her versatility and global cruising capability.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/395732/image/large-7195234a8e71f1b3e271ecf59b638cc5.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/395732">In terms of outdoor living, her amenities include an aft infinity pool overlooking the stern and a forward Jacuzzi wrapped around by sunpads. A touch-and-go helipad located on the bow supports rapid transfers of guests between destinations, while the yacht's relatively shallow 3.75-metre draught allows access to shallow cruising grounds.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/395718/image/large-aebceaa67499330e5bfd597898e7c678.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/395718">The owner’s private full-beam apartment is the highlight of M80’s guest accommodations. The suite includes a study, library, walk-in wardrobe, en-suite bathroom and a dedicated outdoor balcony offering direct access to private deck space. With a beam of 13.5-metres, the yacht is arranged to accommodate up to 14 guests across seven staterooms, supported by a crew of 22 alongside her captain.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/395709/image/large-1077afc5c96b3929c70ee9374bc96865.png" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/395709">M80’s guest areas are intended to maximise connections with the surrounding sea.

<a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/8466" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Lagaria (Company)">Lagaria</a> has unveiled the 90-metre motor yacht concept Platea. Developed by Monaco-based yacht design and architecture studio <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/8466" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Lagaria (Company)">Lagaria</a>, Platea reconfigures the traditional yacht layout by minimising interior volume and placing emphasis on expansive exterior living spaces.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/395696/image/large-94a0a1cd747c02edba683d1e932fefe0.png" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/395696">Unlike most yachts, which prioritise enclosed volume, the design takes a different approach. &nbsp;Platea’s design compresses the indoor programme to free up the deck. This creates a floating beach club of unusual generosity, where the main deck becomes one continuous social landscape. In this area, an open-plan bar, lounge and dining space extends directly onto a large sheltered terrace complete with an oversized pool, Jacuzzi and full-service bar.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/395703/image/large-b3de0009761cfa44415a389b655c992e.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/395703">In terms of accommodation, guest staterooms are positioned on the lower deck. This decision reflects the designers’ intention to prioritise communal spaces over private volume. Since staterooms are used primarily for sleeping and bathing, this allows prime deck areas to be dedicated to social and experiential use.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/395702/image/large-c922893b880df550ce74538eaf7ab22a.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/395702">Moreover, the wheelhouse is located aft of midship, inspired by Scandinavian well-boat design. This opens up the central section of the yacht, creating an uninterrupted social zone, while still maintaining full operational visibility through wing stations. Platea’s owner also benefits from a private apartment with its own balcony. The stateroom is positioned aft for enhanced privacy and separation from guest areas.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/395697/image/large-46e1abf3cbcf2a55d9af45504a59ea42.png" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/395697">“These are not purely aesthetic decisions, but part of a broader commercial thesis,” said the design studio. “At approximately 20 percent lower gross tonnage than comparable 90-metre charter yachts, Platea is designed around the idea that experiential quality, not enclosed volume - is what ultimately drives charter demand.” By prioritising exterior living spaces, the design reinforces its focus on experiential value over internal volume.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/395695/image/large-940d9b0039e45cbf9fcf3287eeac9d05.png" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/395695">“Platea distills what defines <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/8466" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Lagaria (Company)">Lagaria</a> at its best: original thinking, a rigorous design logic, and a deep curiosity about the relationship between space and experience - pursued with respect for the sea and the operational realities that come with it,” the studio concluded.

These vessels effectively extended the reach and capabilities of superyacht operations by serving as floating bases for helicopters, submarines, tenders, water toys and additional crew.According to <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/8873" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Strategic Marine (Company)">Strategic Marine</a>, the vessel is aimed at a new generation of owners who prioritise experiential travel, social and environmental responsibility, and adventure rather than traditional displays of wealth.Measuring 42-metres in length overall, the yacht support vessel offers more than 140-square-metres of deck area, alongside crane and lift capabilities.A key aspect of the design is her adaptable platform. The owners and captains can expect a flexible platform that can accommodate a wide range of equipment and operational needs, including emergency responses which expands her role beyond conventional yacht support operations.Reinforcing her versatility, the support vessel can also be configured with gyro stabilisation systems for comfort and efficiency, alongside hybrid propulsion solutions tailored to owner and mission requirements. Additional specifications, including speed, beam and draft, remain customisable according to client requirements.“This vessel represents a natural evolution of <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/8873" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Strategic Marine (Company)">Strategic Marine</a>’s expertise in advanced aluminium vessel construction,” commented Chan Eng Yew, CEO of <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/8873" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Strategic Marine (Company)">Strategic Marine</a>. “As the superyacht sector continues to grow, we recognised a clear opportunity to deliver a support vessel purpose-built for the pleasure craft market – one that meets the quality our clients have come to expect from us, with the reliability and performance our vessels are known for.”<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/395401/image/large-865a52c8ebd228ff9bf16c70468eaf81.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/395401">Andrew Taylor, Managing Director of <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/8875" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Southerly Designs (Company)">Southerly Designs</a>, added: “Our focus was to create a vessel that is both highly capable and visually distinctive.

<a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/1343" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="ER Yacht Design (Company)">ER Yacht Design</a> has unveiled its new 40-metre explorer yacht concept, ER 40. Designed by the studio’s president, Ivan Erdevicki, the concept moves away from the heavy commercial styling often associated with expedition yachts, instead presenting a cleaner and more sculptural profile.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/394458/image/large-c20868048f3065b6a4406c5e46f500d9.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/394458">This approach is reflected in her sleek exterior lines, which balance strength with practicality. Key design features include long horizontal glazing, a bold and distinctive bow, carefully balanced proportions and a strong superstructure.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/394467/image/large-d55ed8d9002cc545a6f4c914166a65d0.png" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/394467"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/394457/image/large-050aa9fbe153140b0719bac71458dc4e.png" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/394457">“The result is a yacht that follows the current direction of modern lifestyle-driven explorers, but does not depend on short-term trends. Her proportions, stance, and overall character are intended to remain attractive for many years,” the design studio commented.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/394468/image/large-b8b6d3b371091132f1467f73de9251b7.png" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/394468">Designed for Mediterranean cruising and island hopping, she is tailored to deliver a relaxed onboard experience with generous aft deck spaces. Guests can enjoy everything from waterside lounging and alfresco dining to tender operations and water sports activities. Meanwhile, the bridge deck and flybridge provide private areas for entertaining and taking in open views.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/394466/image/large-3f071a5ff7077ead473fdce517620e34.png" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/394466">Forward deck spaces offer guests several outdoor areas to enjoy rather than relying on one main social hub. This creates a more comfortable lifestyle onboard, particularly during extended cruising.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/394465/image/large-4a9367542e0ba80371321ea07d410722.png" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/394465">Moving inside, guests are welcomed by a warm and calming interior designed to create a comfortable residential atmosphere with a close connection to the water. Generous windows fill the spaces with natural light, while natural wood finishes, soft neutral fabrics, stone surfaces, darker gloss accents and carefully integrated lighting contribute to the yacht’s refined and tranquil feel.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/394464/image/large-124c080115bfb7855cdff2d487fe764a.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/394464">“The intention is not to create an interior that feels over-designed, but one that feels inviting, refined, and easy to live with. Open social spaces, well-proportioned guest cabins, and a private owner experience are all part of the overall concept, with comfort, views, and daily usability kept at the centre of the design,” the studio added.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/394462/image/large-afce8186b0b6f368418f14348d188ec3.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/394462">The design features a beam of 8.3-metres and a draft of 1.9-metres. From a technical perspective, the design offers a high degree of flexibility and can be further refined around the owner’s onboard lifestyle preferences. This includes the chosen propulsion package, hull form requirements, classification society regulations, range targets, fuel capacity, crew arrangements and tender storage.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/394463/image/large-30fb607c39d83133044ffdd7d9fab137.png" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/394463">“ER 40 represents the <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/1343" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="ER Yacht Design (Company)">ER Yacht Design</a> approach at its best: technically grounded, visually distinctive, and focused on turning a strong design idea into a yacht that can become a real, memorable, and lasting project,” the studio concluded.

Previously known as Project 155, her exterior design was crafted by <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/586" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Francesco Paszkowski (Company)">Francesco Paszkowski</a> and interiors drawn from the boards of <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/563" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Salvagni Architetti (Company)">Salvagni Architetti</a>.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/393700/image/large-756a29146f443a575e3121a58f3e7bc9.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/393700">“We are extremely satisfied about the appeal of the RJ series”, commented CdM CEO Vasco Buonpensiere. “We are also very honoured by the confidence that another of our existing clients has put in us to deliver such an extraordinary vessel, which undoubtedly, brings Cantiere delle Marche to another level.”<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/393702/image/large-3ea4a0cc3bd044b4ec2f14217073db7c.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/393702">From the outset, <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/12374" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Parati46.71m (153'3&quot;)Cantiere delle Marche (CdM)2025">Parati</a> is distinguished by an angled raked bow paired with angular yet expansive window cut-outs. In contrast to her aggressive forward profile, her design softens into fluid slopes framed by sharply defined edges.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/393703/image/large-89a8d58e8f27e71075895d8b8f9a8551.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/393703">The owner commented on this design: “My wife and I love elegant and essential style, nothing unnecessarily flashy and disconnected from practicality, this is the initial input we gave the architects,” explained the owner.What began as a single regatta experience in the Mediterranean during the 1990s gradually evolved into a lifelong passion for exploring the sea. Together with his wife, the owner moved from summer cruising in Liguria to increasingly ambitious voyages aboard larger yachts, eventually realising they needed a true explorer yacht.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/373962/image/large-f76faa94ca66a6cac29b462b7f6fade6.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/373962">Their search led them to <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/2354" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Cantiere delle Marche (CdM) (Company)">CdM</a>, whose craftsmanship and shared vision immediately resonated with them. The success of their first custom <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/2354" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Cantiere delle Marche (CdM) (Company)">CdM</a> yacht not only deepened their love for long-range cruising, but also inspired them to embark on an even more ambitious project tailored to their evolving needs.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/373963/image/large-d98875382aa9e966a4bd10d8136d53cc.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/373963">“Our first <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/2354" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Cantiere delle Marche (CdM) (Company)">CdM</a> was a 40-metre, because we were convinced that growing more would have limited us in our explorations between the small islands and small bays.” the owner added.“Everyone’s commitment was exemplary and the project became the shipyard’s flagship. In May 2021, the boat was launched and I remember how great the emotion we felt when we boarded the first time, we organized our maiden voyage in Greece and we fell in love with her.”The RJ 155 project came to life in collaboration with the shipyard over the course of roughly a year, just a few months after the RJ 130’s maiden voyage.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/393706/image/large-4d2a214398c0c926b38522f232a642a6.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/393706" 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; text-decoration-thickness: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; text-decoration-color: initial; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">Designed for an active, adventurous lifestyle, Francesco emphasises that the exterior has been conceived to create a seamless connection between indoor and outdoor spaces. To enhance this relationship, the gunwales along the main deck have been lowered towards the stern, opening up uninterrupted views to the sea. Generous storage has also been integrated for toys and equipment, ensuring practical functionality and supporting longer-range voyages and remote exploration.“It invites adventure without sacrificing elegance, showing how thoughtful design can redefine what a superyacht is and what it can be,” said the designer.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/393708/image/large-365eb9380cc3bacf1497cf22aac0a499.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/393708" 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;">Set against her exterior, the interior is conceived to evoke a sense of calm and clarity, shaped for Northern European owners who are passionate collectors of contemporary art. The owner’s brief called for a design that would reflect their cultural heritage: minimalist, but not ‘cold’.Salvagni explains: “From this brief, I developed what I call a ‘soft minimalism’: a language of natural gestures, curved lines, and gentle transitions, where every surface feels both essential and emotionally resonant.”<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/390456/image/large-3b5403dd1c6854004f41c33c53b57025.png" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/390456" 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;">He incorporates Japanese wood essence ‘light koto’, which brings a warm, near-butter tonality to the material palette. Throughout the yacht, softness is carried through curved panels, while the visual flow is occasionally interrupted by organically inspired forms. These elements emerge like coral branches from the ceiling, with handles evoking octopus tentacles and cabinetry where lighting appears to grow naturally from its base.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/390457/image/large-b46d7d207157d94dc8b966e29c3bdab2.png" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/390457">This design language continues into the main saloon, which serves as the heart of social connection onboard. The saloon flows directly aft into the cockpit, which transforms into an expansive swim platform sheltered by protective side wings. Moving forward from amidships, there is a spacious galley to port with an adjoining pantry, followed by a foyer leading to the dayhead and onward to the owners’ suite, which also incorporates a generous gym.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/390455/image/large-081b9c57b781a77aac4ec848f75f983b.png" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/390455" 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 data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/12374" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Parati46.71m (153'3&quot;)Cantiere delle Marche (CdM)2025">Parati</a> can accommodate up to 10 guests across five well-appointed staterooms, with four guest suites located on the lower deck. The layout comprises three double suites and one twin suite, while crew accommodation is provided in four dedicated cabins.The upper deck also provides generous spaces for guests to lounge and dine, with a spacious aft terrace designed for open-air dining. Forward, the wheelhouse serves as the yacht’s fully equipped command centre. Above, the sundeck is dedicated to social gatherings, featuring a modern bar that serves as the central hub of the deck.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/393707/image/large-e2930bf01957499d8b3253a10d2ac23b.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/393707" 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;">According to the captain, although the owners were very satisfied with their first RJ yacht, they requested a fully bespoke approach for the new build. They prioritised extensive storage, including large refrigeration and freezing capacity, a water purification system to minimise reliance on plastic bottles, and advanced waste management solutions such as a vacuum system and refrigerated garbage room to ensure high standards of hygiene during extended voyages.In terms of propulsion, <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/12374" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Parati46.71m (153'3&quot;)Cantiere delle Marche (CdM)2025">Parati</a> is 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> C32 engines, each delivering 895 kilowatts, enabling a top speed of around 15 knots.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/373946/image/large-edf85a89da2f99cf648cb7709d2bc9e3.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/373946">“Being entrusted for the second time by such an experienced yachtsman is a source of great pride for our shipyard and everyone has worked tirelessly to ensure the owners enjoyed their new yacht as scheduled in summer 2025,” Vasco concluded.

The design enables close inshore navigation and access to reef systems, with the designer describing her as being ‘for adventure, for the search.’With a low-draft, long-range platform, Shogun measures 9 metres in beam with a 2.5-metre draft and a sub-500 GT envelope, enabling access to shallow reefs and remote anchorages. These characteristics make her particularly well suited to tropical exploration and surf-led itineraries.<img src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/393750/image/large-eaa8d7a7ae0eb898dc3fd3d6d45e8de2.png?X-Amz-Algorithm=AWS4-HMAC-SHA256&amp;X-Amz-Credential=AKIA52TLVJASOPFTPHWY%2F20260518%2Feu-west-1%2Fs3%2Faws4_request&amp;X-Amz-Date=20260518T060306Z&amp;X-Amz-Expires=900&amp;X-Amz-SignedHeaders=host&amp;X-Amz-Signature=0c4e0ba93bdaf01cc3e6b9bfb233435ad913d4f641bc4f3378803f3a5584509f" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/393750">Her interior is defined by coastal minimalism and restrained luxury, with extensive glazing allowing the surrounding seascape to dominate the experience. The result is an environment designed to dissolve boundaries between interior and exterior, making her equally suited to remote surf destinations and Mediterranean cruising.Accommodation onboard Shogun is arranged for 10 to 12 guests, with a crew of eight. Her layout includes two main salons with an optional full-beam sky lounge configuration, while social spaces extend across open-air dining and lounge areas. A dedicated beach club aft, complete with hull-side openings and a transom platform, ensures direct and fluid connection to the sea. Completing the concept is a custom Salt A44 chase boat, designed by Salt Yachts.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/393748/image/large-9f71c2fecc4a0de852304bd14add643b.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/393748">In terms of performance, she is powered by twin propulsion, delivering a top speed of 15 knots and a cruising speed of around 10 knots, balancing efficiency with long-range capability. A curated selection of water toys, stored both above and below deck, further reinforces her exploration-focused mission.

Yet according to Maite Murillo Galimany, Commercial Executive at <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/2818" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Port Tarraco (Company)">Port Tarraco</a>, the nickname extends far beyond the vessels themselves.

"I would add that it’s the ‘Home of Giants’ as well for the professional team you find there including the companies set in the marina."Having recently celebrated her tenth anniversary at the marina, Maite has witnessed first-hand the transformation of <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/2818" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Port Tarraco (Company)">Port Tarraco</a> from a relatively quiet facility into one of the Mediterranean's most established technical yachting hubs.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/396338/image/large-fca205e48cc33ba9ee3fc59247f69023.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/396338">A decade of growthMaite joined <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/2818" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Port Tarraco (Company)">Port Tarraco</a> after working in the hospitality industry for numerous years.

Then we would be happy if we had all 20 berths full.” There would be time for her to get to know crew members and learn about the industry’s unique demands. For the past three years, during the high season, the 32 berths are constantly busy and it’s never quiet in the port - there is always something to do, someone to help, or a next event to organise.&nbsp;As <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/2818" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Port Tarraco (Company)">Port Tarraco</a> continues to grow, the challenge lies not only in meeting the increased operational demands, but also in preserving the company culture. Maite emphasises how “growth should enhance our service; it should never diminish the human connection that sits at the core of <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/2818" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Port Tarraco (Company)">Port Tarraco</a>.” It is precisely that view that makes <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/2818" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Port Tarraco (Company)">Port Tarraco</a> not just a well-functioning marina, but makes it a pleasant port to berth: there is attention to detail, service that includes empathy, and always that personal touch. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/396341/image/large-9c8de7b3c0dc25537ef0e8138716f5dd.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/396341">A human-first approachDespite the busyness of the port, Maite ensures she and her team are always available for those whose paths traverse through <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/2818" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Port Tarraco (Company)">Port Tarraco</a>. “I have always kept my sense of empathy towards others,” Maite shares, “we are working for people that are far away from home and their loved ones for months. Being conscious of the human side of the industry is the key to succeeding not just in this role, but as a marina."That philosophy remains central to <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/2818" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Port Tarraco (Company)">Port Tarraco</a>'s approach today. While the marina is renowned for its technical capabilities and infrastructure, the team places equal importance on creating an environment where crew, captains, contractors and guests feel welcomed and supported. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/64707/image/large-1ed133346042b25c7f81bc037d60865e.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/64707">Maite is like the fairy godmother of the port, referring to it as “a factory of dreams coming true.” Vessels and crew that visit the port tend to be there for weeks or months at a time so the goal is to make them feel as comfortable as possible, to provide a sense of home. For Maite and her team that means helping with any type of request that they may receive. “Sometimes it’s helping someone book accommodation, sometimes it’s finding second-hand golf clubs or taking someone to the doctor. Other times it is nothing more than going for a walk with someone who just needs a listening ear.”Sometimes the requests are more technical, like finding a last-minute berthing spot for a superyacht when the marina is technically already fully booked. “Making things like that happen makes you feel fulfilled," Maite shares, “it’s a really, really good feeling.”<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/396337/image/large-52265a745d7405de83cbd61a1434cb4b.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/396337">Entering the&nbsp;<a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/6623" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Ocibar (Company)">Ocibar</a>&nbsp;eraIn 2020, <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/6623" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Ocibar (Company)">Group Ocibar</a> took over management of <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/2818" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Port Tarraco (Company)">Port Tarraco</a>. Since then, the marina has grown exponentially, with an emphasis on creating quality experience for guests and employees alike. “There has been a huge change in <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/2818" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Port Tarraco (Company)">Port Tarraco</a>’s development when <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/6623" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Ocibar (Company)">Ocibar</a> took over marina management,” Maite says. “The company projects both commercially and on the staff structure were a game changer.”The impact has been visible throughout the marina, which is constantly busy, seeing most of the 32 berths occupied, as well as facilities being expanded and improved and the reputation of the marina within the superyacht community has strengthened. “We’ll have captains who are eager to return and make a quick call to reserve a berth. But we also get a lot of superyachts via referrals, like a captain who recommends <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/2818" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Port Tarraco (Company)">Port Tarraco</a> to another captain.”&nbsp;Another important element of the marina is her security. With 24-hour surveillance and glass walls surrounding the entire premise, guests can feel safe and secure, as well as controlled dock access. While Maite finds that the port “has the perfect package,” the most important element of the work lies in the human element: “by being nice, providing good treatment and service to the boats, both in a technical and personal way.” <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/396339/image/large-4fe39a4f831012eebfd1a87fd3917c28.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/396339">Enabling growthAs <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/2818" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Port Tarraco (Company)">Port Tarraco</a> continues to grow, maintaining a balance between innovation and experience remains a priority. “New and fresh ideas are always on the table but experience is the base that took us where we are,” shares Maite, “so we try to strike a balance between the two.” Commercial assistant Laia Vidaller, who only recently joined the industry, highlights how working in yachting has been “dynamic and unique, every day, I get to see different parts of the industry.”The philosophy extends across the entire team. Different personalities, backgrounds and generations bring varying perspectives, but everyone shares the same objective: continuously improving the marina and the service delivered to its clients. “Nani [the Sales Business Manager at <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/6623" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Ocibar (Company)">Ocibar</a>] is always running, he’s always one step ahead and has such a brilliant mind, this way of working has inspired me a lot,” shares Maite. While there are sometimes differences across departments, generations, or people, the overall goal is to create an environment that values the systems in place whilst looking towards innovative ideas to keep bettering the port. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/64712/image/large-3c9c102b9b04027c2f309de64732d9ef.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/64712">One such way in which the port is innovating, is by focusing its attention to greener projects. With a shift in the yachting industry towards a next generation of owners, who tend to be younger and more focused on eco-friendly and eco-forward innovations, the port is happily joining this movement. "The growth of both the industry and the marina is already moving at high speed when caring about the environment," says Maite. "We can clearly see a huge commitment from <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/6623" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Ocibar (Company)">Ocibar</a>."“We’ve placed solar panels on all the buildings in the port, helping us with lighting across the facilities and along the docks,” shares Maite. Another project, which has been in place since 2023, is the water bubble barrier, which works to prevent rubbish from getting into the marina. “We are focused on keeping the marina eco-friendly and safe, but simultaneously we are also introducing two other projects that help keep the water surface in the marina as clean as possible.”<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/396340/image/large-154331418f761509495fc13f2bd5694d.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/396340">When looking towards the future of <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/2818" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Port Tarraco (Company)">Port Tarraco</a>, one thing seems very clear: it’s centred on the people. While there is always an exciting new development in <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/2818" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Port Tarraco (Company)">Port Tarraco</a> and no day is the same, it is the people that make it all happen. “I still see this industry as a factory of dreams coming true,” Maite shares. Watching <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/2818" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Port Tarraco (Company)">Port Tarraco</a> grow and welcoming more yachts from around the world is a challenge that keeps me excited.”&nbsp;Having developed into one of the most established technical yachting hubs in the Western Mediterranean, <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/2818" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Port Tarraco (Company)">Port Tarraco</a> continues to grow and push itself in what it can achieve and provide for both its visitors and its team members. Working across generations and varying levels of expertise, the port relies on existing structure and knowledge, as well as continuously welcoming fresh ideas and innovations. Maite notes how "the never-ending momentum of the yachting industry and the commitment of the company to its growth and people, it’s a reality that should make anyone excited about working in a place such as <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/2818" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Port Tarraco (Company)">Port Tarraco</a>."
