The 24.6-metre power catamaran Royal Rita has joined the market with the brokerage team at Yachtzoo. Built in GRP in 2016 by Sunreef Yachts and updated in 2022, the catamaran was designed entirely in-house.

The Amels superyacht, Lady E, measuring 74.5 meters, has been successfully sold in an internal transaction. The deal was facilitated by Stuart Larsen and Josh Gulbranson from Fraser, who not only introduced the buyer but also represented the seller. Mark Woodmansey of Burgess joined them as Joint Central Agent. Originally delivered in 2006 from the Netherlands, Lady E underwent an extensive rebuild in 2020 at Pendennis, extending her length by an additional six meters. Classified by Lloyds, the yacht showcases the collaborative design expertise of Walter Franchini Architetto for both its interiors and exteriors, with naval architecture by Amels.

Push forward the throttles on Maiora Yachts’s 115-foot Lady Nina and the boat morphs from laid-back, family cruiser to a hard-charging speed machine capable of a 40-mph top speed. Her secret? A wave-slicing, fast-planing hull that rides on top of the water rather than pushing through it like a typical displacement yacht. That, and triple 1,925 hp Caterpillar C32 turbodiesels mated to Swedish MJP waterjets.

The 71.6-metre Nansen Explorer has joined the market with James Pool of Y.CO. Built in "special steel" in 1983 by Finnish shipbuilder Laivateollisuus, the 1A ice-classed vessel has recently been owned, refitted and operated by expedition specialists. Her exterior was designed in-house by the yard and her interior is by NMI and Åshild Landevaag, Landz Arcitects.

Vento Yachts introduces the Vento 85 X-One, a dynamic 25.8-meter sports model set to commence construction in late December, with delivery scheduled for the end of 2024. Crafted by Turkish design firm Pose Yacht Design, the yacht boasts a robust composite build, evident in its muscular profile and expansive lines.
