Austin Parker knows that the easiest way to create a stylish vessel is to get two trusted design houses on the job. The Italian shipyard, which was acquired by Turkish entrepreneur Baris Nalcaci in late August, enlisted Pininfarina Nautical and De Simoni Yacht Design to bring its newest fleet member to life. The Italian studios recently set up a joint design boutique in the yachting mecca of Porto Lotti. This marks the duo’s second collaboration together after last year’s X2 concept.

Dutch shipyard Van der Valk has begun construction on a custom, 34.1-metre motor yacht known as Project 111.11. Delivery is slated for Q3, 2024.

They have been heavily involved with the design process, with Guido de Groot responsible for the functional exterior design and Carla Guilhem taking charge of the interior.

Her ultimate destination is the esteemed Feadship Royal Van Lent Kaag facility, where she will undergo meticulous outfitting.

Steve Kozloff developed his latest concept with a capable couple in mind. Christed 2US (To Us), the 134-foot sailing yacht is designed to be operated by two but it can also welcome additional seafarers, of course. Spread across five decks, the sprawling interior is outfitted with an owner’s suite measuring 380 square feet, one VIP cabin, and two twins. She also sports cabins for three crew.

Sanlorenzo has announced that its 50-metre superyacht, currently under construction in La Spezia, is expected to be delivered in summer 2024.
