Turkish shipyard Sarp Yachts has released the first interior renderings of the XSR 85 RPH, a 25.9-metre raised-pilothouse model set to debut in late 2025. Developed in collaboration with Red Yacht Design and Van Oossanen Naval Architects, the yacht is described as having“more expansive interior and exterior spaces” compared to previous models in the XSR series.

Elegance, speed, and comfort are the three key words of the new Ice 52ST, the latest creation from Ice Yachts, which embodies a perfect blend of innovative design and high performance. Born from the fusion of the Ice 52 and Ice 53, the new Ice 52ST combines the strengths of both predecessors, retaining the agility and maneuverability of the Ice 52 while integrating the advanced features and technical solutions of the Ice 53. The result is a yacht that offers the best of both worlds, with cutting-edge design and outstanding performance, whether in racing or cruising.

Spanish studio Daroca Design has introduced Real, an 80-metre yacht concept developed as part of Oceanco’s Simply Custom collection. This approach allows clients to begin with a proven platform by Lateral Naval Architects, then customise both the exterior and interior.

Ocean Independence has unveiled Project Kumu, a 46-meter hybrid-powered yacht concept developed by a design team from D-ID in Winchester, with naval architecture by Southampton-based Lateral Engineering. Initially conceived for a specific client seeking a fast day-boat style superyacht constructed in aluminum and featuring a sailing yacht profile, the project evolved after the client did not proceed.

It’s hard not to be fascinated by the beauty of the new Pardo GT75 which, unveiled as a world premiere the Cannes Yachting Festival, has redefined the standards of this market segment in one fell swoop, presenting what, in my humble opinion, is not only the most beautiful motor yacht of the year, but also the one that, thanks to its solutions, naval engineering, and features, allows Cantiere del Pardo to leave behind (by a considerable margin) the elite of Europe’s top shipyards. A bold statement, which, even before analyzing how this beauty performs at sea, deserves to be explained thoroughly.
