Rodriguez Design’s latest superyacht concept is for the new wave of seafarers. Christened Azua, the 207-footer was designed for “young owners looking for the thrills of a fast boat and the comforts of a superyacht,” according to studio founder Josh Rodriguez. The sailor-turned-designer adds that the next generation of owners appears to favor sleek, stylish, and speedy vessels over traditional displacement yachts with bulky profiles and modest power.

A $504,500 price drop has been announced on the 39.6-metre motor yacht Sarabeth, listed with Alex Rogers of Northrop & Johnson. Sarabeth was built in GRP by American yard Westport and delivered in 2013. The Gregory Marshall-designed vessel is MCA-compliant and ABS-classed. Westport's in-house team designed her interior.

This project harnesses cutting-edge technology, which the firms both say will set a new benchmark for sustainability in the leisure marine industry. The Archipelago zero.63 has a ‘parallel hybrid system’, combining the clean energy derived from a pair of methanol reformers and hydrogen fuel cells. This propulsion system allows the vessel to cruise silently at up to 10 knots. For high-speed performance, the design includes a direct-injection methanol engine, enabling the boat to reach a top speed of 22 knots.

CL Yachts just added another model to its best-selling B series. The sleek new 80-footer, known simply as the CLB80, sits midway between the line’s 88-foot flagship and two smaller models that measure 65 and 72 feet, respectively.

Moonen Yachts has turned the seventh steel hull in its Martinique series at the Talsma Shipyard in the Netherlands. Provisionally known as Project YN205, she is available for sale with delivery scheduled for April 2025. Exterior design is owed to René Van Der Velden, while the custom interiors will be styled by the team at Hollander Yacht Design, who have already worked on their first Martinique project. Naval architecture was completed by longstanding collaborator Diana Yacht Design.
