Northrop & Johnson announced the in-house sale of the 39.01m Palmer Johnson motor yacht Aphrodite by Yacht Brokers Kevin Merrigan, Todd Rittenhouse and Wes Sanford. Palmer Johnson launched Aphrodite in 2000, a custom tri-deck motor yacht that combines old Florida charm with refined elegance. A recent 2021 refit has further enhanced her appeal, bringing new hull paint, exterior varnish and new interior and exterior soft goods.

Kaohsiung, Taiwan, China,-based luxury yacht builder Horizon Yachts aims to grow its share of the European market with two new models in the builder’s FD series scheduled to debut at Düsseldorf.

The second-generation Twin Vee 400 GFX, the Aquasport 24 Center Console, and the Twin Vee 280 GFX Dual Console are the latest additions to the company’s lineup. “The launch of these three new boat models signifies our relentless pursuit of innovation. We’re dedicated to meeting the evolving needs of our customers and providing them with unparalleled quality, performance, and choice,” says Joseph Visconti, president and CEO of Twin Vee PowerCats. “Even in challenging times, we remain focused on diversifying our lineup and inspiring new and existing customers, as well as the broader recreational marine industry.”

The 39.01-metre Palmer Johnson motor yacht Aphrodite sold in an in-house deal at Northrop & Johnson with brokers Kevin Merrigan, Todd Rittenhouse and Wes Sanford representing both the buyer and the seller.

Turkish builder Mazu Yachts is best known for custom chase boats for superyachts, including a 38-footer, 52-footer, and even an 82-footer with a bulletproof pilothouse. But the shipyard recently launched a vessel that’s very different from its bread-and-butter designs—a series of superyachts. The Mazu 92 DS, which Robb Report toured at last year’s Cannes Yachting Festival, is the first in a line of full-displacement vessels that will eventually include 112- and 132-footers.
