New E56XO Model Unveiled By Horizon Yachts
Horizon Yachts is delighted to announce a brand new model called the E56XO. You’d be right if you thought it had anything to do with their very popular E56 model. In fact the E56XO is based directly off the E56 using its widespread appeal while working towards those who like the more sporty form-factor. Horizon says the E56XO has been designed primarily for the Australian market but it is easy to see how this yacht could easily have world-wide appeal...

34-meter Motoryacht "REM" Launches At Mengi Yay
Turkish builder Mengi Yay has launched their latest luxury yacht. She is a 34-meter motoryacht going by the name of REM.

The latest all-aluminium yacht from Dutch Yacht manufacturer Heesen has been launched and she is called "Amore Mio".
