New Dutch yacht brand Seaver launches three debut models

 Dutch yacht brand Seaver has officially debuted at its inaugural Seaver Gallery event with a new yacht range and its unique ownership model.


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

The design showcases a bold, flexible living space that reflects the yard’s performance-driven philosophy.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/399040/image/large-dc3a6cc5c34a7a83361424681e775474.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/399040">Performance-driven design and optimisationThe first hull of the Baltic 80 Café Racer features naval architecture by Javier Jaudenes of <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/2857" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Surge Projects (Company)">Surge Projects</a>. Externally, the yacht retains the series’ signature performance-led identity, developed through extensive CFD analysis and <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/758" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="North Sails (Company)">North Sails</a>’ virtual wind tunnel technology. This results in a lightweight carbon-fibre hull designed for competitive performance in coastal and maxi-class racing environments.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/399047/image/large-ca68ba19522824b1334cd742884e86c6.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/399047">A total of twenty-one hull configurations were evaluated using an advanced dynamic VPP model, enabling designers to refine sail trim and assess full-motion behaviour under varying conditions. The final design combines powerful hull lines with low resistance in light air, while maintaining form stability and control as conditions build. Performance optimisation is further enhanced by a generous J dimension, allowing a larger genoa for improved acceleration and strong reaching performance alongside a dedicated jib-top configuration.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/399048/image/large-cacd9ba2729d515c3f047ddc9cc48f68.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/399048">In addition, two rig setups are available, offering a wide spectrum of sailing styles: from relaxed, family-oriented downwind cruising to fully crewed, rail-down racing. According to the yard, the yacht is expected to compete at the upper end of Maxi Class 3, with a projected IRC rating of 1.480.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/399046/image/large-e5d8157d48c3c132df83c7143a2f7c96.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/399046">Flexible loft-style interior designThe first hull of the series introduces a striking loft-style arrangement, where the galley, dining area and saloon flow into a single open space. The design prioritises light, volume and sociability, creating an onboard atmosphere more reminiscent of a contemporary apartment than a traditional yacht interior.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/399049/image/large-0b668346ea7c430d52595626418f680e.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/399049">Rather than committing to a fixed layout, the concept has been intentionally designed to offer flexibility. Owners can opt for a semi-enclosed or fully enclosed galley configuration, while the main saloon can be tailored with either individual lounge armchairs or a more relaxed extended sofa arrangement. This modular approach allows each yacht to reflect its owner’s sailing and lifestyle preferences.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/399050/image/large-0585f9e8a143267419686e85d47f0d77.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/399050">Interior designer Mark Tucker from <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/329" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Design Unlimited (Company)">Design Unlimited</a> noted that the concept “invites the next owner to take it somewhere completely their own.”<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/399043/image/large-4653d58efe52f51e550d0b90946700f4.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/399043"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/399044/image/large-18b83df8c0f5b2224850118d7fb488d0.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/399044">Drawing on experience from <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/10936" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Raven34.0m (111'7&quot;)Baltic Yachts2023">Raven</a>, the record-breaking foil-assisted 111-footer delivered in 2023, construction of the first hull is progressing using a carbon fibre female mould. The method allows tighter tolerances, reduced fairing, and improved overall performance. The use of prepreg carbon further enhances weight reduction and structural efficiency. The first hull will feature a 6.5-metre beam and a displacement of 29 tons.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/399042/image/large-2c88150ed3813ffab581ec62879f0207.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/399042"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/399041/image/large-0e4d08534bd2b91e9b226151299b8084.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/399041">Owners of the Café Racer 80 series will be able to select from a palette of bold hull colours, including red, yellow, deep grey, and turquoise. Lamination is scheduled to commence in August, following the Finnish summer break, with delivery expected in summer 2027. Male plug construction is currently underway as part of preparation for the female carbon tooling.

74m Amels superyacht Avanti in Portugal

With war now raging in Ukraine and international governments posing heavy sanctions on Russian companies and oligarchs, questions are being raised about how this war in Europe may impact the superyacht industry. With superyacht crew already being displaced and the supply chain coming under pressure, we take a look at the possible toll on the superyacht industry and all of those who work within it.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/205458/image/large-6687a12b95045b221a5f21133da703ed.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/205458">Russian owners made up 9% of all superyacht owners in 2021, making them the second largest ownership country behind the United States. While by region Eastern European owners, including Russian and Ukrainian, make up 18%. Russian owners are also the second largest owners of new-build yachts, with 13.2% of the market share of new-build superyachts over 40 metres in 2021-2025 (according to SYT iQ). The Head of Intelligence at SYT wrote in 2021: “The US, Russia, Turkey and the UK remain the most important buyer nations for in-build superyachts over 40 metres,” and this is thrown into a stark light when we consider the possible impact of this war on the yachting industry.With 9% of the market share and some of the largest superyachts in the world (14.7% by volume in 2021), clearly their financial contribution to the industry is significant, particularly in the case of Northern European shipyards. As further sanctions are introduced, will they be able to continue the build of yachts due for launch in the coming years? If not, will we see a number of partially completed 60 metre-plus hulls returning to the market in an echoing of the events following the 2008 financial crisis? There is also an ethical question here about whether shipbuilders will choose to continue their work with Russian owners.But it is not only the new-build market that could be hit. As yachts prepare to return to the water in the coming months ahead of the Mediterranean season, some are speculating that refit yards will be burdened with yachts whose refits have not been paid for. As of today, a number of the largest Russian yachts in the world are sitting in harbours and shipyards across the Mediterranean and questions about their possible seizure continue to raise concerns.Brokers are also concerned about the knock-on impact this could have on the market as a whole, and whether uncertainty about the world economy will make potential owners more cautious of investing in superyachts.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/100171/image/large-7317203457bc91981793f01da270be03.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/100171">So what are the sanctions and how else could they impact yachting?While the list and severity of sanctions on Russia are changing, the nations within NATO and the EU, as well as Japan, Switzerland, Australia and Taiwan, have all hit Russia with injunctions. Among the most severe sanctions is the banning of the Russian banks from the SWIFT payment network. As a consequence the Russian stock market and currency has plummeted, with the Ruble dropping by more than 30% in value.&nbsp;While this is happening, many countries are freezing the assets of Russian owned companies and oligarchs. The White House tweeted this statement on Wednesday "This coming week, we will launch a multilateral Trans-Atlantic task force to identify, hunt down, and freeze the assets of sanctioned Russian companies and oligarchs - their yachts, their mansions, and any other ill-gotten gains that we can find and freeze under the law." As a result, many Russian-owned superyachts are leaving contentious waters and heading for locations where they are less likely to face seizure, including the Maldives.&nbsp;As these actions progress they could impact the charter market, where a number of Russian owned vessels are among the most coveted charter yachts in the world. A discussion currently on the table among charter brokers is whether owners will put yachts into charter in order to pay crew and vessel fees. Whether charterers will wish to charter Russian-owned yachts is another question.Read:&nbsp;<a data-gid="gid://syiq/Article/54694" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Are Russian superyachts being seized?

We have already seen a Ukrainian crew member act against a Russian owner this week when the <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Article/54666" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Crew member attempts to sink €6.5m superyacht Lady Anastasia (2022-02-28 16:15:00 +0100)">chief engineer aboard Lady Anastasia opened the sea valves in an attempt to sink the 47.73-metre vessel</a>. Elsewhere stories are emerging of yachts being abandoned by crew.There are also questions being raised about how best to protect crew working on Russian and Ukrainian yachts in the case of owners falling into financial difficulties. The Nautilus International institute, the union for seafarers, is urging crew members to get in touch in the case that sanctions imposed on owners impact their salaries.&nbsp;Beyond possible payment issues caused by sanctions, it is also likely that crew from all over the world will no longer wish to work on Russian owned yachts. Facebook groups dedicated to Russian-speaking crew have been inundated with messages of support for Ukrainian colleagues, but also with Russian crew looking for new positions. One Facebook group called ‘Russian speaking yacht crew’ has shut down, with the founder citing “In light of recent events, this group should no longer exist.”&nbsp;Crewing agencies have widely bemoaned the lack of experienced crew over the past year; the possibility that Russian owned yachts will have even greater difficulty finding crew members raises concerns about whether some yachts will be operable. Crew safety is also in question and the publication of yacht owners’ occupations, home addresses and yacht names is adding kindling to the flames. With vandalisation of Russian owned assets beginning to be seen, some crew members may be at risk.&nbsp;With the condemnation of Russian supporters being widely shared across the globe and international corporations shutting down business with Russia, other firms have begun to boycott Russian owned yachts. Stories are emerging of companies refusing to distribute supplies to superyachts. If true, this will impact those yachts put into charter as owners and management teams attempt to use charter as a means to allay costs. &nbsp;While this story continues to develop, the implications – both ethical and practical – for the superyacht industry and all those who work within it will become pronounced and possibly more divisive.&nbsp;

How might the war in Ukraine impact the superyacht industry?

Questions are being raised about how this war in Europe may impact the superyacht industry and we have outlined some of the possible toll here.

A number of yachting industry companies have now issued statements in regard to the war in Ukraine.

Yachties United is one such organisation. Founded by a team of ex.yacht crew, the organisation is sharing information, go-fund-me donation boards, news and useful links to assist anyone looking for information or assistance in relation to the war in Ukraine. With a bulletin board that advertises host families for stranded people, donation locations and more, the website is a fantastic resource for anyone in the industry looking for assistance, or looking to assist.

Businesses respond to Ukraine war

A number of businesses within the yachting industry have responded to the war in Ukraine, we have outlined the details here.

The yachting industry reacts to the war in Ukraine

Yesterday the European Commission announced a fourth package of restrictive measures against Russia, announcing that there will be a full prohibition on transactions across different sectors, an EU import ban on steel products, a ban on new investment across the energy sector and, significantly for the yachting industry, an EU export ban on luxury goods. In addition, the package included an extension of the list of sanctioned individuals to include more oligarchs and elites whose businesses are linked to the Kremlin. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/208219/image/large-9dc35f12b6573ba37922f63059572cc1.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/208219">These final two points are particularly impactful for the yachting industry, with all yacht and boat exports now banned from Russia and the expansion of the sanctions list may well include additional yacht and superyacht owners. However, it is very likely that the EU import ban on steel products will also impact the yachting industry. According to the Global Steel Trade Monitor of the International Trade Administration, Russia is the world's third largest steel exporter, exporting steel to more than 130 countries globally, in 2018 alone exporting 33.3 million metric tonnes of steel.With many superyacht builders relying on steel for the construction of superyachts, not only for the superstructure but also for the mechanical and technical elements of the vessel, this will without a doubt have a major impact on an already pressured supply chain. The EU cited the ban as "amounting to approximately € 3.3 billion in lost export revenue for Russia."The release yesterday added; "These sanctions will further contribute to ramping up economic pressure on the Kremlin and cripple its ability to finance its invasion of Ukraine. They have been coordinated with international partners, notably the United States."

EU commission bans Russian export of boats

The EU Commission has placed an export ban on Russian yachts and the importation of steel.
