First Bering 70 Explorer Launches In Turkey
Bering's radically styled Bering 70 Explorer has been launched in Turkey.

Completion is expected to be swift with initial sea trials planned for mid-September and delivery in November. The bow is one of the main design features to change for Bering. Not only does it appear stylish it is also very functional...
New Benetti 116-foot 'Mediterraneo' Unveiled At Cannes Yachting Festival
On the third day of the ongoing Cannes Yachting Festival, Italian yacht manufacturer Benetti announced and unveiled the existence of a new model from their expansive portfolio. The new yacht is called the 116 Mediterraneo and the general concept for the yacht isn't a huge departure for Benetti but they certainly have updated the styling to the exterior design. Benetti's design for it has not stepped-away from their direction on squared windows on the new models and that facet can be seen incorporated here on the new 116 Mediterraneo...
Cerri 35-meter Model Unveils At Cannes Yachting Festival
Cerri utilized the ongoing Cannes Yachting Festival to 'launch' their newest model offering. The design was unveiled on the second day of the show and involves a 35-meter displacement motoryacht.

Sunseeker To Launch Sunseeker 95 In Spring 2016
Sunseeker has a new model in production, the new Sunseeker 95. This sub 100-footer is set to make a big splash in 2016. Sunseeker claims it has a superyacht feel with all the practical advantages of a yacht in this size category. Perhaps the standout feature onboard the new 95-footer is the unique main deck layout with a special master cabin triplex configuration for even greater flexibility and freedom on board. With the master stateroom berth on the main deck, a forward staircase leads to a mid level dressing area and large en-suite. It is really a unique feature perhaps not generally seen on a yacht in this size category...

Vantage Yachts Luxury Catamaran Vantage 86
Vantage Catamarans based in the UK is offering a new and finalized design for a 86-foot luxury performance catamaran simply called the Vantage 86. The yacht has a design by Nigel Irens and he said, “Vantage 86 has been a truly collaborative project from the initial concept right through the design process. After a year of interactive work between the design team, Green Marine and owner’s representative Synergy Yachting we have now reached the point where Green Marine can plan every detail of the build process. Although most yacht builders would advocate such an approach it is rarely achieved in practice and should result in a higher quality build – as well as a significant improvement in building efficiency and the weight of the finished yacht"...
Numarine 105HT Series Under Construction
Turkish builder Numarine is off to a decent start with its new 105HT (hardtop) series. The first hull is already well-underway in build with the hull itself already completed. The second unit has been sold as well and construction will start soon on that one. Naval Architecture is by Umberto Tagliavini while the rest of the design -exterior and interior- is in-house by Numarine's designer Can Yalman. The performance yacht series is a tad larger than their 102 FLY but still retains the sexy and hip racy feel of an open-type motoryacht...
50-meter Superyacht "Dusur" Delivered By Bilgin Yachts
Turkish builder Bilgin Yachts announced the delivery of their latest superyacht, the 50-meter "Dusur". According to Bilgin, Dusur was handed over to her Saudi owners and has since made her maiden voyage to her Mediterranean summer cruising grounds. The owner still has a couple weeks to enjoy his new yacht before having it displayed at the 2015 Monaco Yacht Show (MYS) later this month. A look at the exterior design oozes that of H2 Yacht Design. The rather stylish design is accentuated by the elongated eye-like glazing to the master suite forward on the main deck. The interior has also been done by H2 Yachts for this owner. The interior is pretty contemporary while in some spaces exuding the owner's local cultural background...
Glistening New Sailing Yacht "A" Coming Together at Nobiskrug
The highly-secretive Sailing Yacht "A" is quickly coming together at the German yard Nobiskrug. As much speculation circulated as to the complete type of superyacht she will be, that was definitively confirmed when photos of three insanely large masts emerged from Magma Structures UK facilities. Okay, with that part of the puzzle fitted it was safe to know she was going to be some kind of sail vessel. It was also safe to assume she will be a motor-sailer as with her huge size and displacement, sails alone won't be able to propel her very quickly. Already one of the Magma Structures masts have been stepped. The large booms are manufactured by Future Fibers while the enormous sail-plan is being finalized by Doyle Sails. What is also known now is that the name of this motor-sailer will be "A"...

The latest Sunseeker 115 Sport Yacht has been successfully delivered to her new and eager British owners. Sunseeker London were responsible for the handover.

Taking 8 months to build, this new 115 Sport Yacht is to the exact requirements of its new owners with a plethora of extra toys, features, and specially designed elements. It was only last week that the owners enjoyed the maiden voyage to the Mediterranean on their brand new yacht as they invited some members of the Sunseeker team along for the journey...
85-meter Project 'Sasha' Arrives At Lurssen For Completion
Lurssen is doing particularly well in the 85 to 92-meter market with many yachts within this range being launched and completed within the last couple of years for their happy owners. It doesn't appear that this trend is letting-up as yet for the German custom superyacht manufacturer. Very recently, the 85-meter Project 'Sasha' arrived at Lurssen's Rendsburg facilities for completion...
Three Luxury Yachts On Display At 2015 Monaco Yacht Show (MYS)
Italian manufacturer Benetti Yachts said they are displaying three luxury yachts at the 2015 Monaco Yacht Show (MYS) coming up in September. The three motoryachts are all brand new yachts too ranging from the largest at 63-meter custom down to a unit of the Veloce 14o series. Looking at the yachts closer, the 63-meter custom superyacht "11/11", 60-meter "Formosa" and the 42-meter "H" will be on display at this prestigious yachting event. H is having her European debut at the show while both 11/11 and Formosa are making their world debuts.The 63-meter mega yacht, built as FB265 has a special design and aesthetic factor that you notice immediately: her plumb bow, which allows for an increased dynamic tendency, literally cutting through the water. 11/11's interiors are just as original...
Feadship Launches 57-meter Superyacht "Halo"
Feadship has launched the 57-metre Halo in a private ceremony at the Feadship Kaag yard. The bespoke motoryacht was outfitted in a record time of just 33 months at the request of Halo’s owner, who had previously chartered the Feadship Helix and was sufficiently enamored by the experience to commission a new Feadship. The radical exterior styling by Eidsgaard Design was created in close cooperation with the owner.“From a quarter-front view, the signature silver arches appear to run up, over and down the aft end of the yacht,” Peder Eidsgaard explains. “As Halo drives past, however, observers will notice that the aft tip of the arch is actually turning upwards...
96-meter Hull XL1006 Arrives At Feadship De Vries Makkum Yard
Two days ago, Feadship's Slob Yard in Papendrecht that builds many of their hulls launched the 96-meter that is XL1006. Feadship could not have picked a more significant date to have this yacht-in-build to transit to the De Vries Makkum yard. It so happened that SAIL Amsterdam was also occurring and we are sure this did not happen by pure coincidence. Now that XL1005 - now "Royal Romance" - has been delivered to her owners, Feadship can work on this nearly 100-meter superyacht...
Nordhavn Launches Latest N43 Model For Owners
This new Nordhavn N43 has been built for a couple who wants to simply go out exploring. This yacht is pretty simple with nothing fancy or over-the-top. Simple and functional is how they wanted their new N43 to be. She is N4341 in the venerable N43 line from Nordhavn and features a teak interior that is simple but still sophisticated at the same time...
Second DL26 Motoryacht From DreamLine Launches
Italian builder DreamLine Yachts just launched their second hull in the new DL26 line. After the first hull hit the waves to much public acclaim, the second launches with slightly less fanfare. However, it is still good to see that production is still going ahead with the DreamLine Yachts company. DreamLine otherwise known as DL Yachts, has a number of units in the DL26 line in various stages of production. Actually, five of them have been sold to date and hull three, four and five are the boats in production in this series...
Hull 4012 Launches At Westport Yachts
The latest 130-footer from American builder Westport Yachts has been launched. She now represents the 12th hull in that series to come from the yard. The high performance tri-deck motoryacht will take her owner along at a quick zip thanks to her pair of MTU 12V 4000 M90 marine engines. We can expect a top speed of 24-knots from this proven hull and the particular engine set-up. With full fuel tankage for around 37,500 LTs, it should be enough for coastal runs or island-hopping like in the Caribbean, for example...
