Benetti is pleased to announce the launch of FB268 M/Y SEASENSE the 67 meter full custom superyacht with a steel hull and an aluminium superstructure built for an experienced owner who has chosen the Benetti brand for the first time.

The launch ceremony took place in Benetti’s historic Livorno shipyard, perfectly on schedule according to the production plan, with shipyard workers, Benetti management, the owner’s representatives and the crew in attendance.

The elegant exterior lines of the M/Y SEASENSE are by the Dutch designer Cor D. Rover, designing its first Benetti vessel, while the naval architecture was developed by the shipyard’s technical office. The contemporary styling of the interiors, on the other hand, is the result of collaboration between the Benetti’s architects team and the design studio AREA from Los Angeles, making its debut in the world of superyachts. The layout includes six suites that can accommodate up to 12 guests.

The basic concept underpinning this Benetti superyacht is reflected in its name – SEASENSE – which has been translated into a design that revolves around the relationship with the surrounding environment. In fact, the owner wanted the outdoor areas to be as spacious as possible, to offer the maximum possible contact with the sea. In particular, the stern area of the main deck is given over to a big pool with a sun-lounging area connected to the peculiar main salon that, through the opening of big sliding doors, provides even more outdoor space for guests.

FB268 SEASENSE – fitted with 2 1380kW Caterpillar engines, it has a top speed of 15.5 knots and a cruising speed of 15 knots. The range at a cost effective speed of 12 knots is 5,000 nautical miles.

Delivery is scheduled for the end of July 2017.

AMELS has launched the brand new AMELS 180 named LILI. The Limited Editions yacht is nearing her on-time and on-budget delivery at the Dutch luxury yacht builder’s yard in the Netherlands. IMPERIAL acted as broker for the sale, Owner’s Representative and Construction Supervisor.

Despite the fast delivery just over 12 months after her sale in May 2016, LILI is a highly customised Limited Editions yacht with a unique Tim Heywood exterior styling and custom extended Sun Deck. The very successful colour scheme of Castle Tan and Jet Black create a charming and elegant look that perfectly complements the luxurious interiors created by the Owner’s choice of interior designer Laura Sessa.

“The AMELS 180 has proven highly popular on the superyacht market and LILI will add to that with her many unique customisations and beautiful colour scheme,” comments Rose Damen, AMELS Commercial Director. “She is an exceptionally high quality yacht that will no doubt create many happy memories for her Owners and guests. Once again, working with IMPERIAL has been very smooth and productive and that shows in the end result.”

Julia Stewart, IMPERIAL Director, says: “She is another striking project jointly made with an experienced team and very talented people, confirming our strong and durable links with AMELS over the last eight years. With LILI, IMPERIAL delivers a new superyacht option for high-end luxury journeys at sea with versatile accommodation, Dutch quality and superior level of equipment. We would like to thank all the teams involved in this project, who realised a challenging project with precise deadlines.”

The high level of customisation on board LILI includes:

* The Sun Deck has been extended by 3 metres to 28 metres (92 ft) in length in collaboration with exterior designer Tim Heywood – creating a huge outdoor luxury space of almost 175 square metres (1,900 sq ft)

* An extra-large 4-metre long Sun Deck pool (7,000 litres) featuring counter current jets for swimming

* A Bridge Deck Owner’s Suite and extended aft deck

* On Main Deck, the port and starboard folding bulwarks and sliding doors to the dining room create a light and airy connection to the sea

* Main Deck features a large VIP Suite with a private folding balcony

Das junge Unternehmen Dynamiq baut bereits an seiner zweiten Yacht. Nach dem Bau der ersten Yacht “Jetsetter” im vergangenen Jahr wird nun eine GTT 115 hergestellt. Bei einer Zeremonie in den Werfthallen in Viareggio wurde traditionell eine Münze am Kiel platziert. Im Zuge dessen wurden einige Unterstützer des Projekts und der Werft eingeladen. So waren unter anderem Pierre Casiraghi und Bernard D’Alessandri vor Ort. Zu der neuen Yacht gibt es bislang die Informationen, dass das Interieur ebenso wie das Exterieur von dem österreichischem Designstudio F.A. Porsche gestaltet wurde. Zudem entwickelte Vripack die Marinearchitektur der neuen Serie.

Der Alu-Rumpf wurde bereits mit dem Aufbau verbunden. Aktuell werden die Verkleidung und mechanische Ausstattung durchgeführt.

Wir dürfen gespannt sein, wann das Unternehmen um Gründer und Geschäftsführer Sergei Dobroserdov weitere Neuigkeiten zu der GTT 115 Serie veröffentlichen wird.
