Sunreef Yachts reveals the pictures of the luxury Sunreef 80 Grayone. This striking bespoke multihull craft boasts an imposing presence and refined style with her anthracite-grey hull and superstructure. Her custom-tailored interiors and outstanding alfresco lounging areas provide supreme comfort for both private getaways and high-end charters.
Grayone’s main deck houses a light-filled saloon with a dining area to portside and a comfortable lounging space to starboard with a large L-shaped sofa. Towards the bow portion of the saloon, there is a bar area with easy access to the yacht’s large foredeck lounge.
Sheltered from sun and wind, the aft cockpit boasts impressive proportions thanks to the Sunreef 80’s 11.5m beam. The area includes a raised dining table along with a movable sofa and chairs as well as a double daybed and wet bar.
The catamaran’s custom-designed hydraulic platform offers a fantastic spot for relaxation and watersports.
The flybridge is a vast and soothing retreat with numerous lounging, dining and sunning options along with a drinks bar with panoramic views. Grayone features a carbon mast and a boom with a jet-ski launching system.
The beautifully appointed interiors provide luxurious accommodation for up to 8 guests across 4 en-suite cabins with an elegant décor blending grey, black and cognac tones. The opulent master suite was fitted with a sofa, a double bed and a walk-in dressing as well as bathroom with a steam bath.
Two double cabins positioned forward in the port and starboard hull, provide a great level of comfort and ample storage. There is also a spacious twin cabin fitted with single beds. The catamaran’s galley is fully-equipped for top level service and features a refrigerated pantry with spacious shelving and freezers below decks.
Entertainment and sports gear on board include a Jet Ski, water skis, a floating swimming pool, an extra floating deck, pedal boards and fitness gear.
The Pearl 62 is to be showcased at the British Motor Yacht Show. Pearl Yachts will show the latest addition to the fleet in association with Berthon, the shipyard’s UK dealer. Not only are Pearl and Berthon proud to be British but interior designer Kelly Hoppen MBE and exterior designer Bill Dixon hail from the island nation as well, so it’s a homecoming event for Pearl Yachts.
Pearl Yachts is pleased to announce the yard’s participation in the 2021 British Motor Yacht Show 2021 from the 12th to the 20th of June in attendance with Berthon, Pearl’s dealer for the UK and France.
The Luxurious Pearl 62
Measuring 18.6M, the new model features a finely styled exterior by revered British yacht designer Bill Dixon, with interior design by Kelly Hoppen. The Pearl 62 is the only yacht in this size class to offer accommodation for eight guests across four cabins, including a full beam owner’s suite with a private entrance – plus the owner’s choice of a crew cabin or jet ski garage. Designed around optimizing the owner’s experience, other highlights include an aft galley open to the cockpit, a vast flybridge, a foredeck lounge all with the benefit of Volvo IPS pod drive propulsion and joystick control.
Commenting on the brand’s participation in the British Motor Yacht Show this year, Pearl Yachts Managing Director, Iain Smallridge said, “There’s nothing like being back at a boat show with a product you are proud to stand behind. At Southampton, we always meet wonderful people, new clients, and future partners, so it’s always an exciting time. The Pearl 62 will be on display this year, and we look forward to welcoming many new and familiar faces on board!”
The best loved sport-fly is now even more desirable. There are many reasons to fall in love with the new Riva 76’ Perseo, heir to and evolution of the multiple award-winning 76’ Perseo, which exceeds every expectation in terms of design, aesthetics, functionality, on-board liveability and performance.
The yacht was launched on Thursday May 27 in La Spezia, where the shipyard that produces the brand’s models from 76 to 130 feet is based.
“Only Riva can propel a legend into the future, because only Riva perfectly understands the codes of the brand’s tradition and its aesthetic and technological know-how,” said Ferretti Group CEO Alberto Galassi. “The result is Riva 76’ Perseo Super, whose prodigious beauty radiates elegance and sportiness. Super by name and also in reality.”
With an overall length of 23.25 metres (76 ft) and a maximum beam of 5.75 metres (18 ft), the new Riva sport- fly is the result of collaboration between the Product Strategy Committee led by Mr. Piero Ferrari, designer Mauro Micheli, the founder of Officina Italiana Design with Sergio Beretta, and the Ferretti Group Engineering Department.
Over 40 square metres of glazed surfaces on the hull and in the superstructure characterise the yacht’s sleek profile and enhance the sporty look of the exterior styling. The mahogany and polished stainless steel detailing, which has both technical and design functions, pays stylistic tribute to the authentic Riva tradition.
In the cockpit, designed for maximum conviviality, the dining area can easily become a spacious sun pad when needed, by lowering the table for eight and covering it with cushions.
Perfectly integrated into the yacht’s aerodynamic lines, the sun deck offers a place both to relax in total privacy and to pilot the boat from a privileged position, with a generous central sun pad of about four square metres, while forward, the central section of the second helm station is flanked by sofas on both the port and starboard sides.
The refined combination of sand-coloured oak and light or dark lacquer is a distinctive feature of the entire main deck, as well as of the yacht’s interiors as a whole. The owner can also opt for rosewood as an alternative.
In the standard layout, Riva 76’ Perseo Super accommodates guests on the lower deck in three cabins, all with en-suite bathrooms, but the owner can also request a fourth cabin, configured as always to ensure optimum comfort and liveability. Completing the lower deck are a small lounge and a separate galley.
The entire area is designed to ensure the best possible acoustic insulation, with supplementary soundproofing in all the forward and aft walls of the owner’s suite.
Already sold, Riva 76’ Perseo Super is ready to reach her owner for a wonderful summer and then, in September, will visit the Cannes Yachting Festival 2021 for her official debut.
At an online presentation reserved for the press, Azimut Yachts unveiled its new Azimut Grande Trideck flagship, the brand’s first yacht with three decks and an expression of the DNA that continues to give the company its signature ability to innovate in terms of design, style and construction.
Azimut Grande Trideck has three decks “plus one”. “Plus one” because Trideck has an extra deck in the stern in addition to the traditional three. The result is a cascade of four staggered terraces descending from the Sun Deck to the water’s surface.
The launch of the new flagship also gave Azimut Yachts the chance to bring forward the introduction of A-LIVE, a cutting-edge multi-sensory immersive digital experience that makes use of 360-degree vision to allow online users to move around the yacht and, above all, to convey the sense of openness and contact with the water.
Azimut Yachts again makes use of new digital tools and the presentation offered an opportunity to introduce A-LIVE, the immersive digital experience available on the brand’s website from May 29. This state-of-the-art multi-sensory system makes use of 360-degree vision – complete with sound design and unexpected plays of light and reflection that reproduce the images and sounds of the waves, the wake and the wind – not only to allow online users to move freely around the yacht and find out about the distinctive features of its design and styling, but also to convey the sense of openness and contact with the water that in the past could only be experienced on board.
This immersive, dynamic tour of the yacht is also enhanced by a series of In-Depth Hotspots, which when clicked on play videos containing details about all the advanced technology on board.
A-LIVE therefore represents an evolution of the A-ROOM, the digital space introduced by Azimut Yachts in January for everyone interested in finding out about new products in detail.
The technical data sheet, full description, and images of Azimut Grande Trideck will be available from Friday 28.
Launched last week, May 19, 2021, Evo V8 is the new flagship in the Evo Yachts fleet, the famous brand owned by the Mercuri brothers’ Blue Emme Yachts.
The owner and the Evo Yachts team watched the traditional launch ceremony from the dock at the Torre Annunziata marina near Naples, celebrating the outcome of months of careful planning and construction work involving the shipyard’s engineers and craftsmen. With Evo V8, they have showcased the construction capabilities, attention to detail, and drive for innovation that have been a feature of Blu Emme Yachts right from the outset.
The most eagerly awaited arrivals this season include the new 24-metre model, which has a refined minimalist design and is set to amaze the market with its hi-tech content and original ideas. The construction of Evo V8 has marked a turning point for the company, said Production Manager Paolo D’Orazio: “During these hectic months, the shipyard’s team have worked on this ambitious project with dedication, passion and commitment.
The creation of Evo V8 is the result of an important period of growth for the shipyard and this fills us with pride. At the same time, the launch is also a point of departure towards new increasingly ambitious and innovative projects.”
Evo V8 represents a revolutionary experience, a point of intersection between suggestions from the two worlds of sailing and motor yachts, transforming our perception of the cruising experience.
Compact and provocative,the new entry in the Generation X range is second to none
Self-assured and defiant, with a slew of new features and an incredible 48 knots of power: Pershing 6X expresses the boldest and most daring side of the brand’s character, the side that always appeals to people who love excitement on the water. Compact but in no way incomplete, it packs all the best of the brand’s leading-edge technology into a compact form factor. It refuses to be intimidated and is ready to fight its side on a level playing field.
18.94 metres (about 62 ft) long and 4.80 metres (about 16 ft) wide, Pershing 6X is the result of collaboration between Ferretti Group’s Product Strategy Committee led by Mr. Piero Ferrari, the design firm headed by Fulvio De Simoni, and the Group’s Engineering Department.
EXTERIOR DESIGN AND MAIN FEATURES
Pershing 6X has an eye-catchingly sleek and streamlined appearance, with exterior styling that shares the same family feeling as the other Generation X models. The new yacht turns heads with its highly aerodynamic profile and large glazed surfaces in the hull that flood the lower deck with natural light.
The main novelties include style features that clearly reflect Pershing’s approach to design in recent years, further improving functional and comfort-related design goals without affecting outstanding performance. They include the new styling of the big aft sun pad, the carbon and teak table in the cockpit dining area, and the chaise longue with reclining backrest positioned forward.
INTERIOR DESIGN AND LAYOUT
The most important new feature on the main deck is the helm station, made up of a dashboard with two 19-inch monitors, carbon fibre control panels and an electro-hydraulic steering system. Also available is an innovative joystick coupled to the surface drive with various advanced operating modes, including ‘easy handling’ for ground-breaking manoeuvrability in ports and confined waters. A large sunroof opens over the dashboard to take cruising enjoyment to the next level.
The first Pershing 6X unit has a layout with three cabins – owner, forward VIP and starboard guest – and three bathrooms with separate shower. The guest bathroom, which can be entered both from the cabin and the lobby on the mezzanine, also acts as day toilet. On the left side of the hull is the galley, strategically positioned to benefit from various sources of natural light, including a ceiling window. The version for the American market has two cabins – owner and VIP – with a living space replacing the guest cabin.
Both versions have a crew cabin entered from the cockpit, with a single bed and integrated bathroom.
Among the other novel features are new rectangular portholes that look even more like real windows.
The materials used for the interiors of the new 6X are in perfect Pershing style, with extensive use of plain and lacquered wood for the furniture, parquet floors, Mastrotto and Poltrona Frau leathers, and mirrored panels in the owner’s cabin. The lighting system features new horizontal LED bars in the ceiling that match the decor based on alternating smooth and undulated surfaces.
PROPULSION AND TECHNOLOGY
Pershing 6X confirms the outstanding performance standards set by the entire X Range: a top speed of almost 48 knots and a cruising speed of about 42 knots, with a pair of 1,550 mhp MAN V12 1550 engines.
Last week, Lusben concluded the refit of “Morning Glory”, Perini Navi’s 48-meter sailing superyacht, famous for having the Australian telecommunications magnate Rupert Murdoch as a previous owner.
The historic ketch, built in 1993 at the iconic Perini Navi shipyard in Viareggio, has been restored to her original splendor according to the wishes of her new Italian owner. Through the Forza 3 company in Milan, Lusben was chosen to carry out the ten-year refit of the yacht.
The Lusben team was responsible for painting the hull, living areas and part of the aft cockpit, as well as replacing the generators and refurbishing almost half of the teak deck. The deck work in particular has allowed the shipyard’s specialized workers to highlight their experience and know-how; more than 40% of the teak was replaced with slats of variable length from 4.5 to 6 meters, a notoriously complex operation. The standard slats are typically much shorter at just 3 meters, and work of this type requires greater care and precision on sailing boats than on motor boats.
The refit went on for a total of 5 months and involved almost 50 workers in total, including direct employees and external suppliers who worked in cooperation with the crew. The incredible team effort earned the expressed interest and satisfaction of the owner, who is now ready cruise the Mediterranean.
“Morning Glory” is the first of 6 Perini Navi boats to be launched this season. The remaining 5 are currently undergoing refits at the Lusben facilities in Livorno and Viareggio, planned for delivery to their owners in the coming weeks.
Despite the severe limitations imposed by the global pandemic, careful planning of activities has allowed Lusben to stay on shedule. Operations within the site’s premises have progressed without delay; in fact, this year the turnaround has been faster than usual. At the Viareggio site alone, the number of boats peaked at 23, from 28 to 50 meters, occupying the work stations at sea and on land.
Another 60 Sunreef Power joins the fleet of Sunreef Yachts’ custom motoryachts. The luxury catamaran is currently undergoing tests and sea trials in Gdansk, Poland, before making her way to her new home in Florida. Equipped with twin 730HP engines and intended for private navigation, the all-new 60-footer blends great performance, supreme comfort and bespoke interior design.
The catamaran was given a 4-cabin custom layout including 3 airy guest cabins as well as a large owner’s suite with a private fitness area.
On main deck level, the yacht’s saloon is split between an open galley and a relaxing lounging and dining area.
As all motoryachts’s from Sunreef Yachts new power range, the 60 Sunreef Power is equipped with a hydraulic platform, accommodating the tender. When lowered and levelled with the aft skirts, the platform offers a 10,7m-wide private beach club. The yacht’s garage provides plenty of room for a jet-ski and a selection of water toys. The flybridge of the catamaran offers an immense lounging space with oversized sunpands, a large c-shaped sofa and a bar.
Evo V8, the fascinating new project by Blu Emme Yachts brand Evo Yachts, is destined to be a talking point with its innovative design and remarkable technology.
An exterior and interior layout that can be transformed in seconds to cater for an unbelievable variety of uses, combined with the ambition to offer a totally new concept of cruising at the intersection between the worlds of sailing and motor yachts, make Evo V8 a unique and unprecedented concept for a new type of owner.
Evo Yachts’ exclusive new flagship, the 24-metre yacht initially known as the Velar 78 concept and today officially named Evo V8, is the first model in the new V line and a highly original proposal that will amaze the market with all its innovative features.
With its understated and refined design, this extraordinary model has been developed to offer an unprecedented onboard lifestyle and an alternative to anything seen before, marking a clear break from the stylistic imprint of its predecessors in order to offer a new interpretation of life at sea.
Evo V8 is a boat designed to excite and amaze, like a Russian matryoshka doll hiding multiple nested surprises. And while the designer and shipyard promise to reveal all these secrets when the yacht is officially presented at the Cannes Yachting Festival 2021, some first glimpses can already be seen in the newly released renders of the vessel.
For Blu Emme Yachts, the shipyard behind the fortunate Evo Yachts brand, the realisation of this model and a new product line represents a major watershed. With a design penned by Valerio Rivellini, Evo V8 springs from the desire to find the point of intersection between suggestions from the two worlds of sailing and motor yachts, with the aim of taking the best of both and revolutionising the cruising experience.
The project is an invitation to see life on board as a time for socialising and relaxation, even when cruising under power at high speed. As the designer explains, “motor yacht lovers begin their holiday when they reach their destination, either at anchor off the coast or in port, whereas sailing yacht owners start their holiday right away, as soon as they step on board. Evo V8 combines the speed of a motor yacht with the comfort and relaxation of sailing”.
One of the main results of this mixed approach is the fact that there are a remarkable four helm stations. The first station on the Main Deck forward of the main salon and the second on the Roof Top, fitted with a retractable steering console, are joined by two yacht wheels on the port and starboard sides of the Main Deck. A clear reference to the world of sailing, they are an invitation to enjoy cruising in close contact with the water, as well as being very practical when manoeuvring. The space between the two helm wheels is completely free, but the side seats and the couches around them invite socialisation between the driver and their guests, something that isn’t usually possible on a motor yacht.
The particularly innovative layout of Evo V8, which sets it apart from other boats on the market in the same category, is even clearer to see in the beach area, which can be provided with direct access from the master stateroom at the owner’s request.
The beach area is an open space on the water, just 70 cm above the waterline, designed to be able to enjoy seamless contact with nature and an unbroken 180-degree panoramic view thanks to hull sides that open, eliminating all visual barriers and conveying the sensation of being at one with the surrounding environment. Three steps connect the beach area with a low lounge area that precedes the master stateroom and has big sliding glass doors, allowing it to perform two functions: an open air patio for daytime use, separated from the interiors and offering shelter from the wind and sun, and a private living area for the owner at night, when the door to the exterior deck is closed, transforming it into an exclusive open space suite 12 metres long.
Evo V8 has a fully customizable layout, with two different stairways leading from the Main Deck directly to the Lower deck, so that the crew and guest flows can be kept separate. The first unit has three cabins sleeping seven and a cabin for the crew of two. The Lower Deck contains the master stateroom, two guest cabins and a crew cabin. On the Main Deck, the spacious salon with a dining area is surrounded by big windows that can be lowered almost entirely for even more contact with the outside environment and to limit the use of the air conditioning: an option that makes Evo V8 even more like a 24-metre open with hard top.
Evo V8 will be launched in the coming months and handed over to the Italian owner, a loyal customer and a great fan of the Evo Yachts brand.
