The brief was for a lot of loose furniture so the yacht could be changed according to an owner’s taste, but overall the brief was to create something different.”<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/294732/image/large-10ad39816e40606170716d1506c8f8c1.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/294732"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/294725/image/large-80d47e7b1f31cdc2d87eed2201d19455.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/294725">“One thing we like is calmness, and calmness comes usually through the materials we choose. We like very natural colours – we chose oak for the wood in this design – and we tried not to make it too dramatic, because it’s all about subtle detailing. Some call it simplistic, but it’s absolutely not – it’s about letting the materials breathe and stand out on their own,” commented Nerhagen.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/294726/image/large-3a6e1d18bff72ac8f68f384b8261a0eb.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/294726"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/294732/image/large-10ad39816e40606170716d1506c8f8c1.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/294732">Elegant functionality underscored the design inspiration behind the catamaran. <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/809" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Tillberg Design of Sweden (Company)">Tillberg Design of Sweden</a> thoughtfully chose specific design elements that would mirror <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/82" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Espen Øino International (Company)">Espen Øino</a>’s exterior details and fuse the two together. Nerhagen stated, “We’ve used some of <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/82" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Espen Øino International (Company)">Øino</a>’s shapes from the exterior in interior elements. You can see that in the shapes of the dining table, and in things like the armrests of the chairs. We really tried in a subtle way to play with the shapes from the exterior, and then worked to make the transitions seamless. We did the exterior furniture and elements like the deckheads, then brought those colours and materials into the saloon as well.”

The motor yacht houses four staterooms situated on her lower deck, while her owner’s suite can be found on her main deck, each stateroom is equipped with an opulent ensuite. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/299492/image/large-2057dd27fb48d1d2fe970b789a119145.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/299492"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/299489/image/large-4c55fd0b925249cb8b9f7fa1f1d8efa9.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/299489">The explorer yacht Project Fox is fittingly named after Falmouth born scientist Robert Were Fox the Younger, who encouraged polar exploration in the 19th century through his development of an improved form of compass.

Pendennis yacht Project Fox nears completion

The 34.9-metre Pendennis explorer yacht Project Fox is nearing completion, with an expected delivery of spring this year.

Construction update: 35m Pendennis explorer yacht Project Fox nears completion

Data from <a href="https://sytiq.superyachttimes.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="">SYT iQ</a> reveals an approximate 20% growth in 30-metre plus yachts delivered in 2023, rising from 170 in 2022 to 201 in 2023. This surpasses the forecast of 190 deliveries stated in the <a href="https://www.superyachttimes.com/market-reports/the-state-of-yachting-2023" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="">State of Yachting 2023 report</a> and represents a 35% increase from the 150 yachts delivered in 2018.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/299473/image/large-0abf1aa412c99d933405f9829d2f6173.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/299473">The increase in yacht deliveries in 2023 can primarily be attributed to a continued relatively high order intake, leading to a backlog of orders. The yacht industry encountered considerable supply chain disruptions throughout 2021 and 2022. These disruptions significantly impeded yacht construction timelines, resulting in widespread delays that subsequently contributed to the increased number of deliveries observed in 2023. <a href="https://sytiq.superyachttimes.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="">SYT iQ</a> indicates that some of the largest deliveries in 2023 were the 146.35-metre <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/23" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Lürssen Yachts (Company)">Lürssen</a> motor yacht <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/8520" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Opera146.35m (480'2&quot;)Lürssen Yachts2023">Opera</a>, the 127-metre <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/64" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Oceanco (Company)">Oceanco</a> sailing yacht <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/7500" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Koru127.0m (416'8&quot;)Oceanco2023">Koru</a>, the 118.2-metre <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/44" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Abeking & Rasmussen (Company)">Abeking &amp; Rasmussen</a> motor yacht <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/7928" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Liva O118.2m (387'10&quot;)Abeking & Rasmussen2023">Liva O</a> and the 111.85-metre <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/1732" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Freire Shipyard (Company)">Freire</a> motor yacht <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/7970" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Renaissance111.85m (366'12&quot;)Freire Shipyard2023">Renaissance</a>.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/280947/image/large-fcc36a753c85e4eab89be06b9d99818b.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/280947">A closer look at <a href="https://sytiq.superyachttimes.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="">SYT iQ</a> data reveals that while the average length of yachts delivered has been decreasing, the total length has been increasing, as illustrated in the graphs below. The average length of yachts delivered in 2023 was 42.6-metres, which while unchanged from 2022, represents a 6% decrease from 2018, where the average length was 45.4-metres. In contrast, the total length of yachts delivered in 2023 reached 8,567-metres, marking a 20% increase from 2022 and a 27% increase from 2018, when the total length was 6,771-metres.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/299460/image/large-e50864c03cf5069606a3b6a50f5ff056.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/299460"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/299459/image/large-142ca79adc7d9c46ddc57240c03d1f8b.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/299459">This trend can be explained by the increased delivery of the smaller yacht segment, particularly those between the 30-40 metres, in 2023 compared to 2022 and previous years. This rise in the delivery of yachts in this size category potentially explains the decrease in the average length, while also contributing to the overall increase in total length. Notably, there were 124 yachts between 30-40-metres delivered in 2023, an increase from the 107 delivered in 2022, as depicted in the graph below.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/299467/image/large-d0eff554504270081dd3565626e38a83.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/299467">In addition, data from <a href="https://sytiq.superyachttimes.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="">SYT iQ</a> indicates a consistent upward trend in the number of motor yachts delivered over the past six years, mirroring the overall pattern observed in all 30m+ yacht deliveries. From 2018 to 2021, the growth in deliveries was steady, albeit modest.

This points towards a more balanced pace of growth in the industry as it adjusts to a post-pandemic landscape.To find out more about <a href="https://sytiq.superyachttimes.com/" target="_blank">SYT iQ</a>, <a href="https://sytiq.superyachttimes.com/" target="_blank">reach out to the team to book a demo today.</a>

136m Lürssen superyacht Flying Fox returns to the charter market amidst ongoing US restrictions

In Livorno, Italy, a long-term vision is taking its first steps towards becoming a reality as the local Port Authority, under the leadership of Luciano Guerrieri, has recently initiated plans to establish a shipyard for the construction of superyachts.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/299429/image/large-c4df5354665dba1dfb4e42be59ea2db4.jpeg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/299429">The Port Authority has just issued tenders for the concession of four out of five areas, totaling approximately 53,000 square-metres, spanning between the Calafati Docks and Pisa. These tenders are designed to facilitate the continuation of existing activities, involving several companies such as the Fratelli Neri group, the Castalia environmental protection consortium, Gestione Bacini ship repair company, Tommaso Montano&amp;Figli, and Romoli Roberto, all engaged in various maritime operations.Notably, these new concessions will be valid only until mid-2026, with the fifth concessionaire, Lorenzoni Luigi e Fratelli, set to expire at the end of the same year. This appears to align with the launch of an industrial plan recently published by Adsp (the Port Authority). Adsp commissioned this plan to <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/1457" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="RINA (Company)">RINA</a> Consulting to evaluate the transformation of these areas into a shipyard exclusively dedicated to the construction of superyachts.The plan presented by <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/1457" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="RINA (Company)">RINA</a> Consulting suggests the necessity of implementing technical adjustments and administrative procedures, as well as considering the possibility of demolishing or renovating certain structures and making infrastructural improvements to the docks. These investments, as recommended by <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/1457" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="RINA (Company)">RINA</a>, would fall under the responsibility of future concessionaires.Moreover, the plan aims to reconfigure the area into four sections from the existing five. This involves a restructuring and optimisation of current activities while potentially discontinuing or relocating some. Depending on the extent of these changes, <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/1457" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="RINA (Company)">RINA</a> Consulting outlines two scenarios for the development of shipbuilding and nautical activities, both offering significantly improved economic returns and job opportunities compared to the current concession holders.According to <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/1457" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="RINA (Company)">RINA</a>, the driving force behind these changes lies in the substantial demand within the luxury yacht industry for dedicated spaces for the manufacturing of luxury yacht vessels to address the order backlog . This surge in demand is underscored by a collection of declarations and press releases from key industry players such as &nbsp;<a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/374" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Sanlorenzo (Company)">Sanlorenzo</a> , <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/6533" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Confindustra Nautica (Company)">Confindustria Nautica</a>, <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/1364" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Permare s.r.l. (Company)">Permare</a>, and <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/212" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Benetti SpA (Company)">Benetti</a>.According to the document, the current concessionaires have a combined turnover of less than €12 million and employ fewer than 50 people. In contrast, the worst-case scenario, which allocates fewer spaces to the new shipyard, predicts a turnover exceeding 26 million euros and the employment of 148 people, with an average gross salary surpassing 52,000 euros annually. This growth is expected to be driven by the construction of a 50-metre yacht (estimated at 50 percent completion, considering the two-year construction period), an average-sized refitting project, and comprehensive refitting of two vessels measuring 40 and 60 metres.More optimistic projections, under the 'high' scenarios, envision at least three or four new construction projects annually and 7-8 refitting operations, resulting in revenues ranging from €79 -81 million and 442-484 employees (under the same economic conditions). Furthermore, existing activities that are retained, including workshops and services for Olt and Castalia, are expected to benefit from synergies that would increase overall profitability to over €17 million and employ around 90 individuals.
