Heesen announced the delivery of 51-metre full-custom motor yacht YN 18151 Irisha after sea trials in the North Sea. The yacht’s exteriors and interiors were designed by Harrison Eidsgaard, using curved glazed glass that gives the yacht the appearance of a fighter jet, and a unique color scheme that changes from metallic blue to dark olive-green hues depending on sunlight.
El Leon was launched at a ceremony held in the Navicelli area, in Pisa; it is Overmarine Group's first ship of their new fast displacement line in aluminum. The vessel was designed by Alberto Mancini, with sophisticated and aerodynamic lines that are characteristic of Mangusta, but with the aggressiveness suited to a sporty RPH yacht.
Officina Italiana Design, in collaboration with the Villa Croce Museum of Contemporary Art and the Monaco Boat, presents the B&CxR art project to photography enthusiasts in an exhibition that pays homage to the Bergamo yard, where Riva’s entire range has been built for the last 25 years. Photographers Mario Cresci and Gabriele Basilico captured the soul of the yard, the incredible work that goes into building the prestige boats and the dedication each one embodies, seen through the eyes of the photographers/artists.

The Mangusta Maxi Open 94 is the seventh yacht of a new series created for the American market with the goal of meeting owners’ expectations, which include being able to navigate in the shallow waters of nautical paradises like Florida and the Bahamas, or the Hamptons in the summer period.
Palumbo Superyachts sold the Columbus S 50 Meters project to a previous costumer. Luca Dini Design was in charge of interior and exterior design, customized by the owner. The vessel can accommodate 11 guests in five cabins on the three-deck layout, plus a crew of 11 in seven cabins.
Turkish shipyard Numarine Yachts announced that its first flagship, M/Y Marla, won in the “Best Explorer Yacht” category at the Asia Boating Award 2018. The 32.5 meter yacht was delivered to its owner last summer. Its design is minimalistic and sophisticated—the perfect example of a compact explorer yacht. Despite its size, the vessel offers incredible volumes of internal living spaces on board, accommodating 12 guests comfortably with ample space and a variety of materials chosen by the owner, such as marbles, woods, leather, and brass.
M/Y “Uriamir” is the second model in Benetti’s Class product line—28.95 meter displacement vessel with an exterior design by Giorgio M. Cassetta, a fiberglass hull and a carbon fiber superstructure. The design is meant to be an upgrade from the previous Delfino 93’, with an emphasis on comfort, reliability and Benetti’s high quality standards.
The Van Der Valk shipyard recently received an order for the third 28-meter motoryacht in their Explorer line. The yacht is scheduled to be delivered to its owner in the spring of 2020.
