One of Essence 125’s standout features is her sundeck flybridge, which not only functions as the yacht’s control centre, but also a sunbed for guests to admire panoramic views.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/329201/image/large-803394bc471136dedbaf2173b61e4fbe.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/329201"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/329206/image/large-c3666d81b4caaec1b1ffa6866e0f6468.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/329206">Developed to be both “lightweight and robust” according to <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/7578" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Tribale Yachts (Company)">Tribale Yachts</a>, Essence 125 is fully constructed in carbon fibre, reinforcing her reduced weight, while augmenting her performance and fuel efficiency without sacrificing structural strength. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/329207/image/large-42526c4523f0e95822cdb84f05678510.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/329207">&nbsp;While the flybridge is a standard feature, clients can opt for the ability to pilot the yacht from her sundeck, so that they have the opportunity to drive from an elevated position in the sunlight. Further sunlight can also be found on the sundeck flybridge, where large sunbeds and a seating arrangement pave the way for relaxation. &nbsp; <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/329210/image/large-102dce1ff9e305ac0c1ac62b2e77a2bb.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/329210"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/329208/image/large-3d458b67bf2aeff68d30efaecb8b3501.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/329208">Essence 125's aft section is also customisable, and can house a beach club in place of the pool, or store a tender and several water toys during navigation. The model also offers numerous configurations of the space at the front of the helm, which can function as a tender garage, a spacious storage area, or be converted to a lounge with an optional Jacuzzi, depending on owners' wishes. Moreover, a generous storage space for toys and additional equipment can &nbsp;be found in this section, which is accessible from the stairs located between two cockpit sofas. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/329204/image/large-349a149b15205490929d556af7df4222.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/329204">Moving to the lower deck, clients can choose to configure this space to host as many as five guest staterooms in addition to crew quarters. Alternatively, the deck can be customised to feature three or four staterooms alongside a meeting room, making the vessel well-suited to onboard business or work. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/329203/image/large-8dc9842441da29eb5ba12ce2f8afc36b.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/329203">Performance-wise, the Essence 125 is powered by either triple or quadruple <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/1441" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="MAN (Company)">MAN</a> engines, or with <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/1441" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="MAN (Company)">MAN</a> Sustainable solution with Hybrid Zero Emission mode.

During the press conference, Mangusta highlighted that their extensive research into glazed surfaces and strategic technical modifications have eliminated barriers across all decks.&nbsp;This ensures a lifestyle experience typically found on larger 60-metre yachts. The design prioritises seamless visual integration between indoor and outdoor spaces, with the main deck being a prime example. The area is predominantly glazed, especially towards the aft, where storage trunks have been relocated externally to maximise openness.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/330171/image/large-4361909aaaef0e1e10a3c998ca0fc598.png" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/330171">Several notable features include the master stateroom situated on the upper deck. This forward-facing suite offers a private retreat with a 180-degree panoramic view of the horizon. Floor-to-ceiling windows bathe the space in natural light, capturing the tranquil beauty of the landscape. Adjacent to the suite, the private outer deck features the expansive 'Mangusta Signature' infinity pool. A staircase from this deck provides access to the highly adaptable patio lounge on the main deck, which can be transformed from a gym to a lounge area with ease.Regarding accommodation, the Mangusta Oceano 52 features two guest/VIP staterooms positioned on the main deck, a location typically reserved for the master stateroom. This strategic placement affords these staterooms enhanced natural light and spectacular views, greatly enriching the indoor experience. Additionally, four more guest staterooms are situated on the lower deck, providing ample space and privacy for guests."The Mangusta Oceano 52 stands out for the bold design choices it embraces, with neat, streamlined lines defining the shapes and proportions of a dazzling superyacht that commands a powerful and imposing presence in the water, coming across as much longer than her 52-metres," says <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/3025" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Alberto Mancini Yacht Design (Company)">Alberto Mancini</a>.“Following a thorough market analysis, we decided to redefine our concept in the 500 GT segment, introducing unprecedented features in this yacht class; across all decks, innovation and modularity allow the Owner to enjoy the lifestyle of a mega yacht,” adds Mangusta's President Americas Stefano Arlunno, who directly supervised project development with the Company’s Engineering Department.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/330173/image/large-aad7b570cc502dce2c9764cc87890a1b.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/330173">The project team's in-depth design research has resulted in a vessel whose modularity means the owner can enjoy the space they dream of for themselves and their ‘inner circle’, experiencing cruising at best and exploring new destinations.

(Company)">Tankoa</a> has always been very strong, but which also further highlights our capabilities as a true boutique shipyard able to satisfy every need with unique projects,” comments Vincenzo Poerio, CEO at <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/1661" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Tankoa Yachts S.p.A. (Company)">Tankoa</a>.&nbsp;With a beam of 8.9-metres, she accommodates guests across a four ensuite stateroom layout located on the lower deck, which is also home to crew areas, a gym, or potentially a private lounge and beach club, depending on the owner's wishes. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/330152/image/large-f4bf0f784dd4f5712d5625aa43e9f75b.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/330152">Furthermore, the main deck, full-beam owner's suite spans 60-square-metres, exhibiting an array of materials including glass, brass, metal, and marble, with a primarily neutral colour palette of white and tan complemented by light wood floors.The owner's suite is also decked out in a study area, a large main stateroom with a private terrace to starboard, and a forward full-beam ensuite bathroom with the option of several configurations. The ensuite bathroom is similar to that "of a 70-metre yacht rather than a 50-metre yacht," <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/1661" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Tankoa Yachts S.p.A.

Once again, light woods are employed for the flooring, and are also reflected in the ceiling, while rounded lines and circular lighting fixtures create a Zen-like atmosphere. The upper deck saloon is also accompanied by a fifth VIP suite behind the bridge.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/330138/image/large-75678598cc225ba02d4c4eb9a0581581.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/330138">Moving outside, the exterior profile of the T520 Fenice makes an impression with a silver-grey hull, mimicking the lines of the shipyard's 68-metre model and drawing inspiration from automotive design.“This second model in the Fenice range revisits several key elements of the T680’s exterior design, with a particular focus on proportions,” says Enrico Gobbi, CEO of <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/1197" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Team for Design - Enrico Gobbi (Company)">Team for Design</a>. “This careful attention to proportional design has meant sleek, elegant and dynamic lines while offering spacious and generous areas onboard." &nbsp;<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/330139/image/large-107200e4f195be86d6c9778e0b0536c7.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/330139">In terms of outdoor entertainment, guests are invited to relax or socialise on the sundeck, which offers 105-square-metres worth of open air entertainment space, including a lounge and dining area, with one of the two Jacuzzis found onboard. Moreover, the inclusion of Louvre windows shield the exterior dining area from the natural elements.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/330140/image/large-21af7b3286573eee472fd3120f3dbd60.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/330140"> <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/330145/image/large-f30892f7a077edb55fa400885cb6999c.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/330145">The T520 Fenice's beach club contains an infinity pool fitted with a "hidden lounge" one level below, developed as a response to the growing demand for privacy, in contrast with an open stern design. Additionally, the gym connects to the beach club and a private aft lounge with a water feature running through. One of <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/1197" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Team for Design - Enrico Gobbi (Company)">Enrico Gobbi'</a>s unique creations for this concept is a waterfall from the beach club pool running behind the stairs to the lounge. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/330144/image/large-22d16c0e2f4b7a2e8154e97802877dd3.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/330144">The T520 Fenice's forward garage located under the foredeck is able to stow a 6.5-metre guest tender, a crew tender, and a selection of watertoys. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/330146/image/large-2607c9b99948a363cd4f8a36f44f5a1f.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/330146">Regarding her performance, the T520 Fenice, which has a draft of 2.7-metres, can reach a cruising speed of 14 knots alongside a top speed of 17 knots, over a transatlantic range of 4,000 nautical miles.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/330150/image/large-c200843a80094c2829996bda2e88e906.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/330150">

The relaxed-feeling interiors of the yacht can also be customised by prospective owners.&nbsp;In terms of her accommodation, Sirena 118 offers guests a six stateroom layout with the option to include an owner's suite that occupies two decks. These three decks of accommodation are rounded off with a spacious sundeck.

Thanks to this arrangement, a VIP suite and as many as four guest staterooms can be placed on the lower deck, whereas the forward area of the main deck is dedicated to the owner's suite.“The Sirena 118 will be the largest GRP yacht we have built to date,” comments <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/4910" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Sirena Yachts (Company)">Sirena</a> CEO Cagin Genc. “This superyacht is being carefully developed as the highest expression yet of the values that have made <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/4910" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Sirena Yachts (Company)">Sirena Yachts</a> and Sirena Superyachts so successful around the world.

Further opportunities for dining can be found on the table and wet bar situated on the upper deck, as well as on a more secluded exterior deck.&nbsp;Additionally, Sirena 118 is developed to support a crew of five members, which can also be increased to seven members with the presence of the captain's cabin on the upper deck. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/327707/image/large-62ef5c00a7d87ad9a107aae85b018e81.png" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/327707">Performance-wise, the Sirena 118 yacht benefits from a fast displacement hull form, and is powered by twin <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/1441" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="MAN (Company)">MAN</a> V12 engines developing a total of 3,100hp, which propel her to a top speed of 16 knots and a cruising speed of 11 knots.

A new yacht brand called GX Superyachts has been unveiled at the <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Event/224" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Monaco Yacht Show - 2024">Monaco Yacht Show</a> in Port Hercule. With a range of aluminium yachts spanning from 24-metres to 56-metres in length, the brand’s first 42-metre model, the GX42 RPH, is currently in-build. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/329927/image/large-156a8d236f953dbd5298652e1af5cc01.jpeg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/329927">GX Superyachts is described as “the brainchild of the team behind <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/7839" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Greenline Yachts (Company)">Greenline Yachts</a>”, a brand that has already been producing yachts under 58-feet for over 15 years.&nbsp;The team harnessed that same experience to provide pioneering hybrid propulsion, a smart hull design, and solar charging for this new range. GX Superyachts is equally committed to <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/7839" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Greenline Yachts (Company)">Greeline</a>’s ethos of responsible yachting, and will strive for eco-friendly yachting through <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/7839" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Greenline Yachts (Company)">Greenline</a>’s unique serial hybrid drive and powerful solar arrays that comprise part of the yacht’s structure. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/329928/image/large-67a2f74c94e373c85173ecc433f06600.jpeg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/329928">“Our journey started with <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/7839" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Greenline Yachts (Company)">Greenline Yachts</a>, where we pioneered the world’s first serial production hybrid yacht over 10-metres back in 2008,” commented yard owner Vladimir Zinchenko. “With more than 1,000 yachts delivered globally, <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/7839" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Greenline Yachts (Company)">Greenline</a> has been at the forefront of innovation in the boating industry. Throughout that time, we have tried to further our vision of responsible yachting - from sourcing raw materials right through to the operation of the yacht itself.”Andrea Armas has been appointed by GX Superyachts as consultant to the Board of Directors. Armas stated, "I am backing GX Superyachts because I admire their ambition and vision. My goal is to help the team translate their decade-long experience in hybrid recreational boat building into the highly regulated superyacht sector." <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/329925/image/large-8dc7d907fd9eac0055bce16a1a2f3659.jpeg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/329925">The goal to expand upon <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/7839" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Greenline Yachts (Company)">Greenline</a>’s commercial and environmental success in the industry first came about during the Monaco Yacht Show 2018, when <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/7839" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Greenline Yachts (Company)">Greenline</a>’s all-electric 9.99m yacht received attention from His Serene Highness Prince Albert II of Monaco, who requested an escort to the Monaco Yacht Club in the boat.&nbsp;“Each yacht in our GX Superyacht range is equipped with our innovative hybrid propulsion system, allowing for both efficient electric cruising and powerful diesel performance when needed,” explained Chief Commercial Officer, Luca Raumland. “At 6 knots in electric mode, these yachts can achieve an incredible range of up to 100 nautical miles. In diesel mode, they can cross the Atlantic at 12 knots, while the max range is 11571 nautical miles at six knots. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/329924/image/large-951b4eb280110b5c5249acfd2c95f7ba.jpeg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/329924">In addition, the GX range strives to have 40 percent fear carbon emissions than that of a conventional yacht. Similarly to <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/7839" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Greenline Yachts (Company)">Greenline Yachts</a>, GX Superyachts are developed to bear an intricate solar array as well a large lithium battery bank, which pair together to allow the yacht to lie silently at anchor for upwards of 48 hours. Throughout this time, full hotel systems including aircon run off the batteries without the need to fire up a generator. Consequently, the vessel is free of noise, vibration or smell from combustion.Construction of the first 42-metre GX42 is underway, as the keel laying ceremony took place on 1 June 2024, and more than 50 percent of her hull has already been welded. The yacht is due to be delivered to her owner in 2026. GX signed with custom specialist <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/1556" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="SES Yachts (Company)">SES Yachts</a> of Tuzla, Turkey, in order to build their aluminium yachts. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/329919/image/large-24a838b9c891ba017c93fbfcb44104d7.jpeg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/329919">"There’s no better time to launch this project than now, as we mark the 50th anniversary of our activity,” said Elif Yıldırım, Managing Partner of <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/1556" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="SES Yachts (Company)">SES.</a> “We embrace custom and semi-custom projects, and the new GX Superyachts range plays perfectly to the skills we have in house. What’s more, we understand and share the principles behind the brand, being a family-owned business ourselves and just as concerned about sustainability. Collaboration on the first model has been very smooth, and we are looking forward to building more yachts with GX.”<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/329921/image/large-1a01923c335e286ab94157426e3c48af.jpeg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/329921">The sleek exterior design of the GX range was imagined by <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/4335" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Marco Casali Too Design (Company)">Marco Casali</a>, who marries a practical low-profile superstructure with generous interior volumes.Two variants of each model are on offer, with the Coupé version displaying a long, curved superstructure roofed with gleaming solar panels, which slide apart at the touch of a button to expose a huge hidden sun deck containing a Jacuzzi and bar. Meanwhile, the RPH version is defined by a large flybridge with a notably contemporary aesthetic, as well as a volume of 353 GT. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/329923/image/large-a2223a5ceca86196c7fbaf1cedcaca82.jpeg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/329923">Casali was also enlisted to create the interiors, which boast a “natural, harmonious progression” all the way from the main saloon to the flybridge, according to the brand.The yacht’s bathrooms are decked out in Antonio Lupi porcelainware and Dornbracht faucets, while her loose furniture hails from Poltrona Frau and Rugiano, and Foglizzo leathers and natural wood flooring by Cadorin are present throughout. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/329922/image/large-144198ea8d2564205ac82c684cfe74aa.jpeg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/329922">“Our studio has long worked with <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/7839" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Greenline Yachts (Company)">Greenline Yachts</a>, so we understood exactly what the new GX Superyachts brief required,” stated Marco Casali, founder of <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/4335" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Marco Casali Too Design (Company)">Too Design</a>. “I am proud of the way we have reinterpreted the timeless looks of the smaller yachts to give soul and purpose to the lines of the new superyachts. And it is a real pleasure to be responsible for both the exterior and the interior, which results in a really harmonious finish. The challenge around sustainability is particularly close to my heart.”When it comes to the technical blueprint, Francesco Rogantin of <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/2051" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="NAMES by Francesco Rogantin (Company)">NAMES</a> has penned an underwater long, slim hull that optimises both stability and speed potential. This means the GX superyacht delivers efficiency between her maximum speeds and cruising speeds. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/329928/image/large-67a2f74c94e373c85173ecc433f06600.jpeg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/329928">“It felt like a very natural partnership with GX Superyachts, who knew exactly what they wanted: a hyper-efficient and stable displacement hull,” concluded Rogantin. “The challenge was to analyse the different operational scenarios and ensure that the hull and appendages performed to their best for each one. We deployed a powerful suite of tools to achieve this.”GX Superyachts also announced a new line of yachts to join the GX42 RPH, including the GX34 Coupe, the GX34 RPH, the GX42 Coupe and the GX56 Coupe, which boasts an impressive 499 GT of interior volume.

Images of the yacht are yet to be revealed, but <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/29" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Feadship (Company)">Feadship</a> describes the yacht as having “an unforgettable profile” and “broad expanses of glass.”<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/329791/image/large-7f882fce8a7f2ee33c1af50e034c565e.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/329791">Due to her expansive use of glass, the interiors of C are illuminated by natural light, to create a fluid living space for guests onboard. The exterior design of C also blurs the lines between her decks, with her fore and aft sections offset by a half-level to create a smooth transition between each space.Senior Designer Rudd Bakker's inspiration for the concept involved witnessing the Amsterdam diamond cutting workshop of Gassan Diamonds in order to "learn how the facet patterns draw light into the stone, reflecting and magnifying it," according to the shipyard. &nbsp;<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/329796/image/large-8a5869f60433644aca84b5efce4c492e.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/329796">Other design innovations onboard Care the partially enclosed lower deck sea lounge that can be used at anchor or underway, a beach club with sea-level dining, a duplex owner’s suite and an articulating crow’s nest rising from a private observation deck.The superyacht's elevator is notable in that it creates a seamless transition between floors through a central court that keeps "them visually and literally connected like a three-dimensional chess board", <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/29" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Feadship (Company)">Feadship</a> explained.&nbsp;<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/329801/image/large-5537bceb9be1be4cf09c1f78f730fab1.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/329801">In terms of exterior deck spaces, C is equipped with a pair of infinity-edge hexagonal pools, which aim to match the shapes of her various seating arrangements and atrium. “There’s nothing rough about this diamond in <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/29" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Feadship (Company)">Feadship</a>’s concept collection,” explained <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/29" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Feadship (Company)">Feadship</a>. “As with all <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/29" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Feadship (Company)">Feadship</a> concept yachts, C is completely researched and buildable.”Forward of the sea lounge, a gym and separate full-featured spa are located, each of which are complete with opening terraces. Situated opposite is an unusual sea-level dining room off of the lower lobby, which is also fitted with a broad opening terrace on the sea for seaside dining.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/329802/image/large-cf970bd038c06b16868bd8602da34e43.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/329802">C will also showcase Feadship’s next evolution in adaptive technology, with a command centre positioned on the lower deck between her crew area and beach club. This fully digital operation and navigation hub includes the latest in intelligent situational awareness technology, with cameras and data fusion.Sporting a length of 75-metres, C’s flared bow pays tribute to the designs of the late Frits de Voogt, whose craftmanship of <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/29" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Feadship (Company)">Feadship</a> bows still lives on in the Dutch shipyard's creations today. &nbsp;<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/329798/image/large-fb97fe7145a19a3246dcad16ea0b317a.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/329798">“This layout and the smaller single-level engine room, supported by the fuel cells, maximises prime owner and guest space, creating more value to an owner within the same gross tonnage,” added <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/29" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Feadship (Company)">Feadship</a>.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/329795/image/large-87fa1fd195c7be9222850291ea2a71a2.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/329795">Based on her hull shape and fully-electric propulsion system, C is an evolution of the <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Article/35229" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="New Feadship future concept Breathe unveiled in Monaco (2010-10-06 00:00:00 +0200)">Breathe</a> concept announced at Monaco Yacht Show 2010 and <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/29" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Feadship (Company)">Feadship</a>’s 83.5-metre superyacht <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/5598" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Savannah83.5m (273'11&quot;)Feadship2015">Savannah</a>, which was launched in 2015.Mirroring <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/29" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Feadship (Company)">Feadship</a>'s interest in sustainability, C’s faceted exterior and angled windows along with wide side deck and stern overhangs work to reduce the heat generated by expanses of glass.

"We have created a very simple profile," explained designer Peder Eidsgaard of <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/168" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Harrison Eidsgaard (Company)">Harrison Eidgaard</a>. "We have given her smooth lines that run from her bow and across all three of her tiered decks."Monte Carlo&nbsp;has been specifically designed to appeal to a new generation of owners who are spending more time onboard. With an impressive 11.5-metre beam, her interior configuration showcases open spaces to direct the eye through the length of the yacht.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/329279/image/large-e7b0a81a664265ea770fde1ec4f58bb2.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/329279">The yacht features a four deck arrangement, with an entire deck dedicated to the owners suite on the upper deck. The remaining guest accommodation will be split across the main and lower decks, with <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/168" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Harrison Eidsgaard (Company)">Eidsgaard</a>’s design proposing a mix of up to five spacious VIP staterooms and comfortable double staterooms for the accommodation of up to 14 guests."We moved the guest staterooms up to the main deck, which allowed us to move &nbsp;the master suite up above to provide the owner with a great view forward and a penthouse feel. The suite includes a forward-facing bed, his-and-hers wardrobes, an owner's office and a Jacuzzi on her foredeck," commented Peder Eidsgaard.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/329281/image/large-0f898ed0f3a0233f0706b11f54b17861.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/329281">The superyacht will be one of the largest yacht's by volume ever built in Oss. <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/54" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Heesen Yachts (Company)">Heesen</a>’s CEO, Niels Vaessen, explained that the design is a direct response to trends they are currently seeing in the market. “It is unusual for us to build a four-decker, but we have had a few requests for such a boat from former clients, so it made sense to create one. We are addressing a key market of owners that are looking to maximise space and experience on board to share with family and friends.”Peder Eidsgaard highlighted that the owner’s deck offers supreme privacy and could be utilised in different ways depending on their reference. “It is a very open master suite, with the bathtub, shower and office all interconnected,” he said.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/329280/image/large-d733ce7e3d20a41971a74d33ee1225c9.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/329280">“The benefit of this arrangement is that an incoming owner can easily toy with the space devoted to each area. The potential is huge; you expand the master suite to include a private foredeck with its own sundeck, Jacuzzi and a fold-down balcony to starboard. From his/her office, the owner can walk straight out onto the balcony and take a seat.”Monte Carlo's design&nbsp;includes a large 23-square-metre pool, with glass sides giving the impression that you are swimming in the sea and fold-down wings on the aft deck that allow you to sit right over the water. This multi-level space also has direct access to the wellness centre below, which is equipped with a large gym, sauna, juice bar and hammam. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/329282/image/large-0992a6b0b1763ba0d7e3273ec8f38a1d.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/329282">Other key spaces include a ‘beach lounge’ on the main deck, where low-slung sofas offer an informal dining area for up to 14 guests, with sliding doors again connecting the yacht to its surroundings. There is also a firepit observation lounge under the mast, an outdoor kitchen, and a semi-open sky lounge seating area, including a hidden pop-up TV for movie nights."Her multi-level roof top terrace offers guests a great view of the horizon, with her seating area and firepit providing the perfect spot for relaxation. Her awning hoop also allows guests to enjoy the stars at night and can be closed in the day time for protection from the sun," added Peder Eidsgaard.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/329283/image/large-b5678775dbec9d28a808c083b261d22c.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/329283">The yacht’s beach club is also ideal for launching water toys, and its impressive storage will ensure that Project Monte-Carlo can be equipped with the latest toys available, including e-foils, wave runners and a diving kit. Additionally, the yacht has storage for two tenders, which are used for easy excursions back to the shore.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/329278/image/large-20bb5d97e52e0de451726cd1b49e39e7.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/329278">The yacht has also been designed alongside <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/54" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Heesen Yachts (Company)">Heesen</a>'s BlueNautich strategy, and is technically enabled for serial hybrid propulsion, with space for a large battery bank. It also has a methanol-ready tank layout for future conversion to hydrogen combustion or even a fuel cell. Monte Carlo is powered by twin 1,500 kilowatt <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/1409" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="MTU (Company)">MTU</a> engines with a range of 16 knots and 4,500 nautical miles.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/329287/image/large-6105faff0ba68bbd7053e881b898e3cd.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/329287">“We see that our owners are increasingly interested in minimising their environmental impact,” added Peter Van Der Zanden, <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/54" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Heesen Yachts (Company)">Heesen</a>’s General Manager for Design &amp; Development. “By planning the yacht around tried-and-tested green solutions, we are helping them make good decisions that don’t add much time and cost to the build.”

For our latest Entrepreneur in Yachting feature, Francesca Webster sits down with her friend Mariangela Oliveri to discuss her luxury linens business <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/7884" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Oliveri Linens (Company)">Oliveri</a>. Established in 2011, <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/7884" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Oliveri Linens (Company)">Oliveri</a> has evolved into one of the premier sustainable linen companies for the yachting and aviation sectors over the past decade. We explored its inception, the challenges Mariangela faced in establishing a sustainable business before sustainability became a trend, and her conviction that quality and service are the keys to success in the superyacht industry.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/331994/image/large-c16f54ec63cb14a14d02590c1d28c25c.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/331994">What was the origin of the business and what is your background?&nbsp;Throughout my business degree my goal was to set up a company within the realm of luxury materials so I approached every class during my five year degree as an opportunity to develop the business plan. In fact, the original concept for <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/7884" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Oliveri Linens (Company)">Oliveri</a> was the final essay at university, so although the company was founded in 2011, it had really been with me for years before then.&nbsp;After university, I decided that before establishing my own business, I needed to learn how to work within a team and to grow in practical experience. It felt presumptuous to assume I had all the answers without appropriate training, so I joined a company in Asia for five years importing luxury furniture design manufacturers. During that time I learnt how to work with different people, from various backgrounds and cultures and it taught me the skills that you need in order to manage your own team and your own clients. It was an incredible learning experience and gave me the opportunity to work in a varied and complex environment, and after five years I returned to Italy and began the research process for the business. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/331999/image/large-21757ca123fc9e37a78d60e699868147.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/331999">Why did you decide to focus on high-end, sustainable linens?&nbsp;I’ve always had a deep passion for quality and for me Italian linen is the supreme material with an amazing heritage, however the sustainable approach was not in my original concept. I wanted to offer the lineage of linen with a modern twist, but I didn't yet know what that twist was. I am an observer by nature and when I returned from Asia in 2011 sustainability was beginning to become mainstream, with eco foods in supermarkets for example and the demand was increasing . Sustainability was also becoming a buzz word in the media and I could see that it would only increase in significance, so I decided that founding the business with a truly green heart would set <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/7884" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Oliveri Linens (Company)">Oliveri</a> apart from the rest of the market. That is when the struggle really started.At that time it was impossible to find refined sustainable fabrics. Everything on the market was rough and completely unsuitable to luxury linen products. That was a period of frustration and of almost giving up because once I'd set my heart on the sustainable element of the business there was no way that I was going back. It became absolutely central to my belief in the company.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/331998/image/large-5f21af1057a168c58caf722e89ffeb08.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/331998">How did you overcome that hurdle?I met with the owner of Italy’s largest fabric producer, and after an eight hour meeting managed to convince him to invest in a certified sustainable production line. He said, “If I can't convince you to change your mind about this approach in eight hours, you must be able to see something I haven't seen yet, so we will try it.” That was an amazing moment. Two years later, he had certified the entire production line of the company and had become one of the first sustainable fabric suppliers in Italy.&nbsp;So your investment in creating the business sustainably delayed the foundation of the company – why did it become so important to you?The answer is twofold. The first is ethical, but the second was strategic. I could foresee that sustainability would become an important factor of businesses in the future and fortunately reality has shown that my instinct was right. The decision to create a certified business from the ground up also means that everything we do is done in a sustainable way – our materials, work standards and business practices are routinely reviewed to ensure that we are maintaining the certified standards. When I see companies today launching ‘sustainable lines’ I know that it is greenwashing. You cannot be sustainable in one collection, it is a hypocrisy, either you believe in it and practise it throughout your business, or it is a gimmick to sell your products.&nbsp;What are some of the challenges you’ve faced since establishing the business?Well, aside from the initial challenge of finding the suppliers, we have faced many challenges in the past 13 years. Our first line was a kids bed linens collection because I thought mothers would be sensitive to the sustainability aspect, but it really didn't go as expected. I invested a lot of money and almost went broke. I realised that the market wasn’t ready for the sustainable topic to be the main focus of the business, so I developed the business model focusing on the concept of Italian quality, with an international service approach.&nbsp;Italian’s make wonderful products, and Made in Italy still carries a lot of weight internationally, but Italian companies are not good at marketing, customer service etc. So I decided to focus a lot of investment in our service offering, utilising my international experience to create something different and that is how <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/7884" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Oliveri Linens (Company)">Oliveri</a> came to the yachting industry, where quality and service are most recognised.&nbsp;<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/332000/image/large-90fdc1caae0a58aa21af956ebab21436.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/332000">When did yachting linens become the focus of the business?In about 2013 we decided to approach the yachting sector, making our first sales in 2014 and pulling the company out of some challenging financial times. Then things progressed quickly because we secured <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/6046" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Azimut-Benetti Group (Company)">Azimut-Benetti</a> as one of our first clients. In fact when I went to Benetti to pitch our business, they had an array of linen suppliers on show, but by the end of our meeting we had secured our position as the exclusive supplier for the shipyard and that really established our relationship with the yachting sector.&nbsp;What do you think they saw in your products? What set&nbsp;<a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/7884" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Oliveri Linens (Company)">Oliveri</a>&nbsp;apart?The quality of every single detail. Every piece that carries our label is checked by hand right down to the stitching because I want my team to be proud of every piece. We will take as long as it takes for it to be perfect and I think that sets us apart from other companies. I have a huge amount of respect for Hermes, which I believe is the only true example of true luxury brand. They continue to make their bags by hand, they aren’t interested in speed or numbers, they are focused on quality and that is my focus for <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/7884" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Oliveri Linens (Company)">Oliveri</a>. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/331993/image/large-f12efeba8de238fae187efa8cfdede06.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/331993">How have you maintained that level of control and what do you think are some of your keys to success?With a lot of saying no. The success of a brand is more in the no’s than the yes’s. We’ve been approached by retailers offering display space, but you will never find <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/7884" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Oliveri Linens (Company)">Oliveri</a> products on the shelf, we’ve also been approached to create products for under famous brands. Our know-how is precious to me and we will never supply our products under someone else’s label.The company is also completely self financed, so there are no investors telling me to cut budgets and increase production at the sacrifice of quality. I will make no compromises and that is really important to who we are. I also think that the most important thing when you’re an entrepreneur is that you involve everyone in your dream. From your suppliers, to your employees, you have to make them believe and in order to do that, you have to truly believe in yourself and in what you're doing. You have to be incredibly resilient as well, because it doesn't always go well, there are going to be challenges and in those times that belief is extremely important.&nbsp;This article was originally published in the 50th issue of the SuperYacht Times Newspaper,&nbsp;<a href="https://www.superyachttimes.com/newspaper/newspaper-issue-50" target="_blank">available for download here.</a>
