Everything You Can Possibly Expect...

Yacht Columbus Sport Hybrid 40m: The latest reports from the Palumbo Shipyard in Naples, Italy demonstrate that the 40m Columbus Sport Hybrid Project is progressing at a rate of knots. With the all-aluminum hull and superstructures now all but complete, the focus of attention is turning toward the interior fit out, conceived by Hot Lab Yacht & Design in Milan in conjunction with the shipyard and owner.

Yacht Jongert 3200P: Our favorite feature is the direct access to a private terrace from the owner's suite and an aft bulkhead that will be built predominantly out of glass, providing immense sea views and an abundance of natural light. This is a theme that runs throughout the yacht, with tall vertical windows below decks providing light and views to guest staterooms, while the upper deck superstructure features full height glazed windows. At the stern, the yacht's twin helm stations dominate the spacious main deck cockpit, which is intended to integrate entertainment and navigation functions, enabling guests to feel close to the action, if they wish.

Yacht Dubois 101m Sloop: GCA also worked on the 160' (53.5m) sailing yacht Nirvana, built by Vitters, and which bears Dubois' handiwork as well. The GA calls for four 387sqft (36sqm) guest suits, two of which will feather double beds while twin beds will occupy the remaining two. A full-beam owner's suite (almost 50' across), with separate his-and-hers bathrooms and dressing rooms, and a large, shared shower compartment, sits amidships.

Yacht Columbus Sport Hybrid 40m: According to Romano, diners will be seated around the custom table on eight comfortable compact armchairs, supplied by Moroso. Two large windows frame the salon itself and the airy atmosphere is further enhanced by two large sliding glass doors and opening bulwarks to better enjoy uninterrupted views of the ocean. While the owner enjoys well-lit on-deck staterooms, down below guest enjoy equally well-appointed cabins.

Yacht ISA's 41m Classic series: Currently enjoying a busy production schedule, the International Shipyard of Ancona (ISA) has a number of yachts currently under construction at the yard. Amongst the most eagerly anticipated is the first in ISA's 41m Classic series, with a full displacement steel hull topped with a lightweight aluminum superstructure. The 41m carries the purity of line and styling of this eponymous series, and is unmistakably the younger sibling of her larger sibling, ISA's 50m Classic launched in 2011.

Yacht Miss Tor 40m Schooner Her interior dcor will be one of light colors, with creams and whites reflecting the natural light through large picture window portholes in her hull and huge glazed surfaces in the superstructure, where the salon and dining room form the main living and entertainment space. An expansive cockpit provides a dining area for the yacht's guests, while a sundeck up above features a huge outdoor table forward overlooking the bows, with a Jacuzzi aft.

Yacht ISA's 41m Classic series: The design shows a curve of tinted glass picture windows at the transom, hinting at an attractive beach club area to supplement the semicircular sunpad serving the cockpit above. This positions the tender on the aft terrace of the upper salon, but plenty of exterior entertainment space remains thanks to a generous flybridge, complete with Jacuzzi. The owner's stateroom is on deck and makes full use of the 27'6" beam of wide-body format, while four guest cabins on the lower deck brings accommodation up to ten in double occupancy mode.

Yacht Dubois 101m Sloop: Despite a displacement of 2,000-tonnes, she will draw just 13' (4m) with her keel retracted. For blue water cruising, her keel will increase her draft to almost 40' (12.8m), providing additional stability beneath her 410' (125m) mast. To put the height of this vessel's mast in perspective, the Statue of Liberty's torch is 305' (93m) high, while the famous Big Ben clock tower in London stands 315 (96.3m) tall. If that doesn't impress you, consider this: Dubois' 331' (101m) sloop will feature a 137' (42m) mainsail boom - that's longer than the total length of most sailing super yachts.
