Onboard
Azimut has revealed the first images of its new 26-metre Seadeck 9, offering a closer look inside of the flagship that defines the next chapter for the Italian builder's Seadeck
Series. The model evolves the range with a reimagined outdoor sanctuary and advanced low-emission engineering, and introduces what the shipyard describes as a new 'Pool Deck'
concept.Designed by Alberto Mancini, with interiors penned by Matteo Thun & Antonio Rodriguez, the Seadeck 9 evolves the series' signature Fun Island into a 180-degree Pool Deck,
conceived to strengthen the connection between the yacht and the surrounding seascape.Unfolding into tiered terraces, the aft section flows from the swim platform into the main
saloon, creating a single living space that extends from the water's edge into the yacht's indoor spaces. Fold-down bulwarks, a flush-deck plunge pool, movable sunbeds and a
convertible dining table are available for guests to adapt between waterside leisure, entertaining and dining.Stepping inside, the main

New Designs
Italian builder Picchiotti has unveiled the first details of its 53-metre superyacht concept P53, developed by The Italian Sea Group's Research & Development Department and
Picchiotti Centro Stile. The concept inaugurates the shipyard's P-Fleet series, offering a contemporary interpretation of the historic Picchiotti brand, while remaining below 500
GT.The P53 represents the latest evolution of the brand, signalling a departure from its more classically inspired Gentleman Fleet. The yacht embodies a more architectural design
language that prioritises openness and flexibility, redefining contemporary living on the water with spaces that adapt to the modern explorer.With a 10-metre beam, the vessel will
be built with an aluminium hull and superstructure. According to the shipyard, the P53 has been conceived to combine generous onboard volumes with efficient operation, creating a
yacht that balances privacy, comfort and long-range cruising.Outside, P53 is defined by a near-plumb bow, a sweeping glazed superstructure and expansive dark glazing that
seamlessly connect the decks.

Luxury has always been central to yacht design, but what defines luxury is changing. Where once the focus centred on expansive entertainment spaces and lavish amenities, today's
owners are placing greater value on something less tangible: wellbeing.
Across luxury residential and hospitality design, wellness has evolved from a desirable addition to a fundamental design principle. The same shift is now taking place within the
superyacht industry, influencing not only the features incorporated on board, but also the way designers think about space, materials and the overall onboard experience.For yacht
designer Carla Guilhem, whose career spans luxury residences, hospitality projects and yacht interiors, the change has been impossible to ignore.
"I began noticing the shift several years ago as clients started prioritising quality of life over traditional luxury," she explains. "Conversations moved beyond aesthetics and
entertainment spaces towards how environments could support health, recovery, longevity and emotional wellbeing."

Founded in 2018 as an extension of Xtenders’ work in the superyacht sector, Xquip initially focused on lightweight boarding and deck equipment designed to match the quality and
finish of the tenders being delivered. The business grew out of repeated demand from shipyards and designers for products such as swimming ladders and awning systems that reflected
the same emphasis on design, weight efficiency and usability. Since then, Xquip has expanded its range and developed its production capabilities, increasing its presence within the
superyacht deck equipment market.
Its relationship with Xtenders continues to shape how the business operates today. The two companies share engineering expertise and production knowledge and may collaborate on the
same yacht, with tender solutions and deck equipment developed in parallel to create greater consistency in design, materials and user experience. This also allows Xquip to offer
shipyards, designers and owner’s representatives a more coordinated approach across different parts of a project.Expanding the

Today's superyacht owners and captains expect more from a marina than a safe berth. As homeports become an increasingly important part of the ownership experience, the most
successful destinations combine operational excellence with a lifestyle offering that enhances every day spent ashore. Marina Port Vell has become one of the clearest examples of
that evolution. Few marinas can claim such a close relationship to the city that surrounds them. Just beyond the pontoons lies one of Europe's most vibrant cities, where
Michelin-starred restaurants, luxury shopping, world-renowned architecture and excellent international transport links are all within easy reach. Situated within walking distance
of Barcelona's historic centre, Marina Port Vell has become a unique waterfront setting, established as one of the city's most exclusive venues for luxury events, private
celebrations and corporate hospitality.
The port’s reputation has always been strong, but has gained international recognition since becoming the preferred superyacht marina during the 37th America’s Cup. While

Maintaining and modernising existing superyachts is a process that requires dedicated expertise and precision - both of which are deeply integrated into the philosophy at Abeking &
Rasmussen. Each project that enters the yard, whether a new-build, refit, rebuild or maintenance, receives unparalleled care.Refitting excellence
For more than a century, Abeking & Rasmussen have branded themselves not only as a builder of some of the most groundbreaking superyachts, but they also have a strong refit and
services facility - one that has, over time, become a crucial element of the yard.
Working with an existing structure, the refit process differs from that of a new-build. There are more restrictions to work with and varying factors to consider, unlike working
with a blank canvas. While every refit is different, depending not only on the brief of the client, but also on the technical elements of the yacht being refitted, the yard has

As contemporary superyacht design continues to prioritise light, openness and seamless connections to the sea, glass has evolved from a purely functional element into a defining
aesthetic feature and, with the use of significantly larger glass panels, has become an essential structural component. Expansive glazing now shapes not only the visual identity of
a yacht but also its engineering framework, requiring a far more integrated and technically rigorous approach.
For German specialist TILSE, this shift represents both an opportunity and a responsibility – to ensure that increasingly ambitious designs are matched by uncompromising structural
integrity, durability and precision.Integrating glass from the concept stage
Larger glass surfaces have fundamentally changed how glazing is approached in yacht construction. No longer a late-stage addition, glass must be embedded into the superstructure
concept from the earliest design phases, with engineers analysing how forces move through the pane, adhesive bond and surrounding structure.

Anchored among the fjords of Norway, the 73-metre Lürssen superyacht Starfire is currently moored off the city of Bodø, according to AIS data.
Previously known as Saint Nicolas, the yacht was delivered by Lürssen in 2007 and re-emerged in March 2025 following a 12-month transformation at Abeking & Rasmussen. The extensive
refit saw her exterior reimagined by Pascoli International and her interiors redesigned by Patrick Knowles Design, alongside significant technical upgrades and structural
modifications.
Now featuring a striking black-and-white exterior, Starfire retains elements of her original character while introducing a more contemporary aesthetic. Inside, the existing Zuretti
woodwork was preserved and complemented by updated materials, finishes and lighting to create brighter, more modern living spaces.
Among the most notable upgrades was a stern extension that expanded the swim platform, creating a larger waterside area for relaxation, water activities and alfresco dining. The
sundeck was also transformed into a wellness-focused space featuring a gym, sauna, cold plunge

Seen here anchored at the Vathiavali Beach in Greece is the 31.75-metre Benetti motor yacht Miamaa, a Tradition 105 launched in 2012.
Built in Viareggio, Italy, the yacht was custom designed for Swiss owner Luca Regusci and his wife Monica, who worked closely with Benetti and designer Roberto Del Re to create a
true second home at sea. Miamaa’s name is derived from a Northern Italian dialect, meaning “not bad at all,” while also serving as a play on the phrase “mi ama,” which translates
to “he/she loves me.”
