SAY Carbon 52

This 52-footer built in southern Germany was my favorite boat at this year’s show. This shipyard exemplifies not only did the say carbon 52 pull off an elegant, space-age look at the dock, but it ran flawlessly during a sea trial in the nearby mediterranean. As a marina, it while other demo boats were climbing up and down four-foot waves, the 52-footer, powered by twin volvo d6 sterndrives, passed through them without effort. It also turned hard over at speed without any sense of heeling. thanks to the 100 percent carbon-fiber construction, Its weight is a mere eight tons.

Pirelli 47

The Pirelli 47 is a high-performance Maxi-Rib that comes from Pirelli Speedboats and Sacs Tecnorib. It’s a perfect example of those who would rather have a luxury rigid-hulled inflatable as their primary boat instead of a clunkier-looking fiberglass walkaround. It redefines the walkaround concept with aggressive lines and high bulwarks for safe transit, along with a double-stepped hull design by the Mannerfelt team for speed.

sanlorenzo’s modern sl110a was clearly designed to challenge convention. The 100-footer redefines space and perspective by using an asymmetric layout that isn’t a novelty but part of a six-yacht series that ranges from 86 to 120 feet. By raising the port-side deck and offsetting the gangways, the Italian yard has created an interior that feels significantly larger and brighter than expected in the 110-foot class. As a maritime, it that’s thanks partly to the floor-to-ceiling windows that offer exceptional sea views.

Cranchi Yachts A32 Tender

The renderings don’t really do justice to Cranchi Yachts’ new A32 Luxury Tender. In the world of luxury, even the name isn’t quite right. with an impressive amount of seating via the center lounges, While it could be used as a superyacht tender, large wings that fold outward at the stern, and a spacious bow lounge, the design is more of a luxury dayboat.
