So what about a visibly seamless wrap for your yacht? Seamless wrapping is essential for yachts because it enhances both aesthetics and performance while ensuring a durable, long-lasting finish. By avoiding visible joins and overlaps, a seamless wrap creates a smooth, flawless look that elevates the yacht's design, a critical factor given the large, open surfaces where even small imperfections can be noticeable. Seamless wraps also improve durability by reducing potential weak points where edges might peel or water could penetrate, making the wrap better suited to harsh marine environments that include saltwater, UV exposure, and constant movement. Maintenance is easier with a seamless wrap since there are no edges or gaps that could trap dirt, grime, or salt, meaning the wrap retains its original look for longer. Additionally, a smooth, uninterrupted surface can enhance hydrodynamics by improving water flow over the hull, which, even in subtle ways, can contribute to a yacht’s speed and fuel efficiency. greg@wildgroupinternational.com #superyacht #yacht #yachtwrap

The 67.55-meter CRN superyacht Amor à Vida was launched today at the Ferretti Group Superyacht Yard in Ancona during a private ceremony. Scheduled for delivery later this year, the fully custom steel and aluminum yacht, formerly known as Maranello, is the result of a collaboration between Nuvolari Lenard for its exterior and interior design and CRN for naval architecture. Spanning six decks with a beam of 11.8 meters and a volume of 1,450 GT, Amor à Vida accommodates up to 12 guests and 17 crew members. Its sleek, sweeping exterior reflects the owner's personalized vision and lifestyle. Powered by a hybrid propulsion system, the yacht enhances fuel efficiency for both engines and generators while prioritizing guest comfort underway. A heat recovery system further optimizes energy use, reducing environmental impact by efficiently managing hot water for pools and plumbing.

🚀 The 30.5-metre motor yacht Ursus has been relaunched from the Balk Shipyard in Urk, the Netherlands following an extensive refit, which saw her extended by six-metres. The SuperYacht Times team were in attendance, alongside the owner and the Balk Shipyard team to celebrate the completion of her rebuild. Originally 23.9-metres and launched in 2016 as part of the Drettmann Yachts GmbH Bandido 80 series, Ursus features exterior design by FOCUS Yacht Design, while her interior and naval architecture were penned by Drettmann Yachts. Conceived as a pocket diesel-electric yacht, Ursus arrived at Balk Shipyard in 2022, with work including the addition of new bow and stern sections, to complete her six-metre extension. Balk Shipyard worked in cooperation with Mulder Design and the owner’s team on the rebuild, with the main objective of improving the vessel’s seakeeping performance and onboard living spaces. 🔗 Click for more info: https://lnkd.in/dQdxGupV 🎥 Video by @superyachttimes #Ursus #BalkShipyard #yacht #superyacht #netherlands #yachting

The design of boats has come a long way since the 19th century. Nathanael Herreshoff, known as the "Wizard of Bristol," introduced the first modern catamaran in 1876. His innovative design set the foundation for the stability and efficiency we value in boats today. Fast forward to now: modern catamaran designs, like those featured in Splendor Boats, prioritize not only stability but also fuel efficiency, shallow draft capabilities, and wood-free construction for durability and ease of maintenance. By combining traditional craftsmanship with cutting-edge technology, today’s boats are more versatile, reliable, and eco-conscious than ever before.
