Sunseeker Manhattan 52 To Launch For Summer
Sunseeker is set to unveil their smallest flybridge motoryacht in over ten years coming this Summer. The 2016 Manhattan 52 is the model making a comeback and reaffirms Sunseeker's idea of re-establishing their position in that market segment. The flybridge yacht features two full internal decks (lower and main) and the open-air flybridge. The flybridge will be a hit, being fairly large (for the yacht's size) it features ample seating for the full-guest complement onboard. There is also secondary helm-station situated to the forward starboard side of the deck...
Delta Marine 72-meter "Albatross" On The Verge Of Delivery

She has been working hard to conclude an intense sea trial schedule in preparation for her delivery to the owner. "Albatross" is the name of the 72-meter superyacht and she is expected to leave the U.S perhaps in a few days for her Atlantic crossing bound for the Mediterranean to meet up with the owner...

With the world-debut of the first Tankoa 70-meter (S701) "Suerte", Italian yard Tankoa Yachts is pressing on with the construction of the sistership to her -the second hull-.

41-meter "Serenity" Launches At IAG Yachts
IAG Yachts have launched their first yacht of 2016 and she is a 41-meter luxury vessel named "Serenity". The design is uniform and relatively balanced but one of the stand out features onboard is the proliferation of balconies. Perhaps this is why the model is known as the Terrazza edition. Diesel-electric engines are onboard that allows her to run at a top speed of 18-knots...
Feadship 96-meter Hull 1006 (Vertigo) Under Construction

With a long bow there is a helipad on the bow and that helipad has a dedicated garage for the helicopter below. There is an expansive beach club on the aft lower deck...
New 25M SWATH Vessel By Abeking & Rasmussen
SWATH (Small Waterplane Area Twin Hull) is a hullform that many yacht builders generally do not build but German company Abeking & Rasmussen recently launched a 25M yacht with this hullform. The petit looking vessel is actually more spacious than you would think because of its wider footprint thanks to the twin hulls. There has been no name released so far for the vessel but it was built as hull 6500...
New AB100 30-meter Yacht Launched
AB Yachts launched a brand new AB100 performance luxury yacht recently. The two-toned metallic grey yacht appears to be the first AB100 to be launched for the year 2016 so far from the Italian yacht manufacturer. This yacht does not play, there is serious power below-decks to propel the 30-meter vessel to an astounding 52-knots. Of course, in typical AB style, three engines are linked to three waterjets to produce this blistering performance...

New E56XO Sport Yacht From Horizon Hits The Water
Horizon Yachts unveiled the E56XO Sport Yacht a couple months ago at the end of 2015 but now the actual yacht has hit the water. The new yacht has been splashed and undergone seatrials already.

As the name suggests, E56XO, it is based on the popular E56 model but Horizon made it in a much sleeker profile and package resulting in a sporty appearance...
Lurssen On The Cusp Of Launching 100+Meter Project 'Mistral'
In two days, German custom superyacht manufacturer Lurssen will launch yet another superyacht. Although the length is not confirmed by Lurssen, they say it is 100+ meters long but we believe it is in the region of 106-meters. They also confirm when the new superyacht is going to launch, Saturday April 16th! Details surrounding the build are tight-lipped as usual but it appears to be an exciting design by Espen Oeino. There is a prominent design line integrated into the hull similar to what Tim Heywood does on many of his designs... the major difference is this 'Espen line' doesn't swoop-down to the anchor pocket to copy blatantly. She will launch from the floating dock 31 months after her keel was laid in 2013. Project Mistral will be delivered later in the year and will be the second yacht Lürssen will deliver in 2016...
