Will President Donald Trump's provocative "Drill, baby drill" during his inaugural speech lead to meaningful policy? Time will tell. But as the yachting industry continues a sensible move to "clean up" (if only for the sake of better PR) and companies like Italian yacht builder Sanlorenzo Yacht announce their latest initiative in achieving more sustainable yachts, this time in partnership with German engine manufacturer MAN Engines - A Business Unit of MAN Truck & Bus SE at Boot Düsseldorf, this feels a bit like whiplash. In the US, the mighty diesel engine is still the go-to choice for most yacht owners, because diesel is an energy-dense fuel and it's more than proven (and by Jove, those engines better start up). Incremental improvements on efficiency on new builds has been the way to go. In addition, the yachts in service here tend to be a bit older (30+). However, a vast majority of the larger yachts are built in Europe where most still seem to think there must be a better way to build and power yachts (although the industry is not quite sure yet where the solution lies). Yet a large portion of superyacht buyers are in the United States, with the Americas representing nearly half of some builder's production in some cases (especially since the Russian market went away). So what impact will this presidential statement have on the course of the yachting industry? What are YOUR thoughts? #futurefuel #yachtingindustry #diesel #gas #superyachts #newregime #drillbabydrill #yachtbuilding #energy

Do you wonder how carbon yachts are made? And how the first ZEN50 hull production looks like? To satiate your curiosity, here is a 3 minute timelapse of the first 3 months of production. Every minute represents 1 month of careful and passionate craft by our Production Team. They have poured their heart into this yacht and we are happy to share this little snippet of carbon fibre yacht building craftsmanship with you! In this video, you will see the fabrication of the wave cutter and of the hull skin until the infusion is completed (you can see the resin flowing through the starboard side of the hull toiwards the end of video). The thin film covering the boat in the last third of the video is to maintain constant temperature while resin cures. Stay tuned as we will be regularly posting more insightful ZEN50 production videos! #carbonfiber #boatbuilding #yachtbuilding #solarenergy #cleanenergy #zeroemission #carbonneutral #ev #electricvehicle #cleanmobility #solarboat #solaryacht #electricboat #electricyacht #solarelectricboat #solarelectricyacht #wingsail #wingsailyacht #solarwingyacht #swy #yacht #catamaran #ecoyacht #yachtlife #yachting #boating #zeroemissionnautic #zen #wingsail #ayro #zen50 #sailzen

SANLORENZO Q1 2024 RESULTS Net Revenues New Yachts at €194.8 million (+6.0% YoY), EBITDA at €34.1 million (+9.5% YoY), EBIT at €25.7 million (+6.5% YoY). Sound backlog at €1.2 billion, 88% sold to final clients, with scheduled deliveries up to 2028. Confirmed 2024 Guidance, envisaging a sustainable growth rate of the main metrics over time, in line with strategic targets. Massimo Perotti, Chairman and CEO of Sanlorenzo, commented: «Sanlorenzo starts 2024 with a first quarter performance in line with forecasts and our strategy of sustainable and profitable growth over the long term. Backlog as of 31 March remains in the region of €1.2 billion, with a 2024 Guidance coverage of over 70% after only one quarter, and approximately €560 million of net backlog relating to subsequent years; 88% is already sold to end customers, so we are keeping sell-in-sell-out dynamics always under control, confirming Sanlorenzo's unique business model within the international yachting scene. With the acquisition of Simpson Marine Group closed on 5 March, we have started to work quickly on integration, especially at a commercial level, in terms of optimising the product portfolio but also in the global development of services such as chartering, synergically with the international hubs of Sanlorenzo Group. We continuously invest in product innovation, from concept design to the latest green technologies. As proof of the ambitious “Road to 2030”, in March we launched the BGH-HSV – the America's Cup chase boat with dual foil-fuel cell technology – now undergoing sea trials to be delivery to the New York Yacht Club's American Magic syndicate. At the same time, the 50-metre fuel cells Superyacht is ready for launching on 18 May at the La Spezia shipyard. It is the first in the world with the futuristic Siemens reformer-fuel cell methanol green for the production of 100kw for hotellerie and reduced autonomy in hybrid version, with the only waste product being residual water vapour, 100% sustainable, which returns to the sea. In parallel, we invest in strengthening direct distribution and production infrastructures, reinvigorating every day the competitive advantages which underpin our leadership position. The Group maintains, even after acquisitions, enviable equity soundness and liquidity, which will allow us to promptly assess and seize any further opportunities, also in terms of growth by external lines».

SANLORENZO H1 2024 RESULTS Net Revenues New Yachts at €415 million (+6.9% YoY), steady increase in profitability at all levels, and Net Backlog of €950 million, above a full year of revenues. Confirmed 2024 Organic Guidance, Nautor Swan’s contribution being on top. Massimo Perotti, Chairman and CEO of Sanlorenzo, commented: «In the first half of 2024 and until today, we have faced and overcome several challenges with determination and a dynamic approach, fully reflected in our positive results. First and foremost, we have maintained our planned growth trajectory, further expanding margins and consolidating a robust net backlog, in the context of a complex and uncertain global macroeconomic and geopolitical environment, from which even high-end luxury has not been immune. We successfully completed two avant-garde projects, key milestones in our ambitious roadmap toward increasingly sustainable yachting. In the summer, we delivered the 50Steel equipped with the green methanol reformer-fuel cell system for on-board hotellerie services, as well as the two BGH tenders with hydrogen propulsion built for two America's Cup challengers. In line with our sustainable product portfolio strategy, the acquisition of Nautor Swan, completed in early August, demonstrates our ability to identify investment opportunities with significant value creation potential, and integrate them with a long-term industrial rationale consistent with Sanlorenzo's philosophy. Swan is an extraordinary brand with which we can develop significant synergies, contributing importantly to the Group's results. We move forward with great optimism, fully aware of our strength and the validity of our strategic choices.» Read the full press release (ITA): https://lnkd.in/dBWhXRJK Read the full press release (ENG): https://lnkd.in/dDVjBSuC   #SanlorenzoYacht #MassimoPerotti #H12024Results

⚓ As the call for a more environmentally responsible yachting sector grows, sustainable design and innovation will be essential in reducing its environmental footprint.   We interviewed SEA Index valued collaborator Chris Craddock, Performance, Design, and Environment Manager at Lloyd's Register, as he talks about how fuel cell technology is being applied to yachting, the process of CO2 certification, and why third-party verification matters more than ever. Chris also shares his perspective on the need to rethink yacht design, unlocking potential to transform the industry.   👉 We invite you to read the full Q&A : https://lnkd.in/dhQEnSRU   #Yachting #FuelCellTechnology #Yachts #Superyachts #yachtdesign #SEAIndex #LloydsRegister Image : AI-Generated Yacht Club de Monaco SEA Index Superyacht Eco Association

Azimut Yachts and Volvo Penta have won the prestigious collaboration award at the Boat Builders Awards, organized by International Boat Industry and the marine trade exhibition METSTRADE.
