Hamburg Ancora Yachtfestival : The show premieres part 3: from Oyster to X and Y

, Michael Good

 ·  19.05.2022

The premieres

(As of 16.5.2022, changes are possible at short notice, please read the official exhibitor list )

She is the smallest ship in the exclusive line from Southampton, but still over 15 metres long. The Oyster 495 will be making its European debut at the trade fair in Neustadt. As the successor to the Oyster 475, the new entry-level model comes with a whole series of significant innovations. The high centre cockpit now has two helm stations and remains open to the aft. The layout of the centre cockpit yacht features a large master cabin with en-suite bathroom aft. There is a further double cabin with toilet room in the foredeck.

Saffier SE 33 Life

More attractive fun machine than comfortable motorhome: the Saffier SE 33 is a fast-sailing, well-built and well-equipped weekender. For this, the Dutchwoman was honoured with the award for European Yacht of the Year 2022 in the category of special boats. Those who wish to spend the night on board can do so. Despite the limited space, the interior is surprisingly cosy (test YACHT 24/2021). The Saffier SE 27 Leisure, SC 8m Cabin and SC 650 Cruise models are also on display.

More info: Test Saffier SE 33 (Video) The complete test as a PDF download

Strong performance under sail, exciting looks, outstanding quality. The smallest boat in the exclusive Solaris Yachts programme in Italy is a successful package. The design by Javier Soto Acebal comes with two rudder blades and a comparatively high, sporty rig with a self-tacking jib. Simple, straightforward and unadorned structures dominate below deck. Three cabins and two toilet rooms are standard. The Solaris 40 (YACHT 19/2021 test) will be presented as a novelty at the Yacht Festival in Neustadt, where it will be moored side by side with the Solaris 44 and the Solaris 47.

More info: The complete test as a PDF download

Sunbeam 32.1

The design is extravagant. Negative bow, wide flight deck above, huge hull windows, an electrically retractable bathing platform, an outer shell over the superstructure and an open interior from fore to aft with wet room: the package is polarising, as it should be. The Sunbeam 32.1 from Austria is designed as a weekender for the whole family and aims to be both a good sailor and a comfortable beach club. It is therefore somewhere between a daysailer and a pure cabin yacht. Around 35 units have already been sold.

More info: Test Sundbeam 32.1 (Video) The complete test as a PDF download

A comprehensive revision of the X 4.3 was announced (YACHT 17/2016 test). In reality, however, the latest model from X-Yachts under the same name was in fact a completely new development. The hull now has a very distinctive rear chine for greater dimensional stability. In return, the rig can now be slightly higher. A self-tacking jib is now also available. Below deck, there are essentially no visual changes. X-Yachts will also be showing the X 4.0 and the XC-50 in Neustadt.

Despite its impressive size, the boat is as simple as its name, in keeping with the shipyard's motto: reduce to the essentials without sacrificing comfort. The entry-level model from Michael Schmidt Yachtbau in Greifswald is a full-carbon performance cruiser with a lifting keel and two engines and is available on the market in a revised version. The lightweight boat delivers good performance and sailing fun even in light winds, which was a shipyard goal. The layout and the interior are customised according to the owner's wishes. Report in YACHT 6/2021.

Azimut|benetti group shows strong growth at cannes yachting festival.

• Share to Facebook
• Share to Twitter
• Share to Linkedin

In attendance at the Cannes Yachting Festival last week, Azimut|Benetti announced robust revenue for ... [+] 2023-2024, an ambitious forecast ahead despite uncertain market conditions, and a new collaboration with Volvo Penta. Pictured here is the Azimut Fly 62, presented at Cannes, with reinvented forward cockpit and open stern.

Italian yachting group Azimut|Benetti broadcast rather pleasant news at a press conference at the opening of the Cannes Yachting Festival , September 10, 2024. Noting a strong upward trend in the Group's fiscal status, the team announced revenues were up from $935 million (€840 million) in 2020-21 to $1.45 billion (€1.3 billion) in 2023-24, signaling a robust 55% growth.

Azimut|Benetti By The Numbers

The financial year to August 31, 2024 provided a 30 percent increase in profitability, year-on-year, citing business growth and increased operating efficiency. Additionally, new orders as of January 1, 2024 ensure continued success totalling $2.9 billion (€2.6 billion). That backlog distribution comes from a broad mix of 40 percent European, 37 percent from the Americas, and 23 percent from MEA APAC customers. Azimut|Benetti expects double digit growth in 2024-25, aiming at a new revenue target of $1.7 billion (€1.5 billion).

To continue the trend, the Group has a €160 million investment plan supporting the company's strategic priorities. Additionally, a further $48.1 (€43.2 million) is earmarked for R & D and new product development, and $15.5 million (€13.9 million) to go toward digitalization and virtual reality used in prototype, design, and communication with owners throughout the purchase and build of their yachts.

Some might think these numbers optimistic, but from Azimut|Benetti's point of view, the outlook is not only realistic, but reassuring.

"After a period of unprecedented growth, we are now experiencing a physiological contraction of the market, which the Group can manage from a position of strength thanks to the significant order backlog," states Marco Valle, Azimut|Benetti Group CEO. He continued, "In this scenario, the Group's strategies have made and will make the difference: innovative yachts and the correct positioning of the Azimut and Benetti brands, a broad-based international presence and ongoing production evolution."

Azimut's Seadeck 7 was on display at last week's Cannes Yachting Festival, September 10-15, marking ... [+] a first for the collaboration between Volvo Penta and Azimut.

Azimut|Benetti and Volvo Penta unveiled the world's first yacht boasting a combination of Volvo Penta with hybrid power. The new Azimut Seadeck 7 piloted Volvo Penta's helm-to-propeller hybrid-electric package for the first collaboration with Azimut.

The Seadeck 7, using hybrid-electric technology, can cruise in pure electric mode up to 11 knots and can stay at anchor with zero emissions for up to 12 hours. It marks a unique milestone as the first time a yacht will use diesel engines, electric motors, and batteries paired with the efficiency of Volvo Penta IPS drives , operating in hybrid mode without use of a generator.

"When it comes to reducing CO2 emissions, our approach is aimed at generating tangible results now, also by developing new solutions that we are already implementing at a prototype stage," notes Giovanna Vitelli, Chair of Azimut|Benetti Group.

Vitelli further explains that, "The Volvo Penta hybrid-electric package installed on the Seadeck 7 has a mode of use similar to that of cars, meaning that it shifts from electric to diesel based on speed." That ensures the yacht is easy to use, consumes less fuel, emits less CO2, and improves the on board experience for guests. "Everything is in place to change the rules of the game,"Vitelli concludes.

Additional features of the Seadeck 7, displayed at the Cannes Yachting Festival from September 10-15, include joystick docking, joystick steering, dynamic positioning system, and a glass cockpit system with hybrid-electric driver interface view displaying important data.

More News At The Upcoming Monaco Yacht Show

Ahead of the Monaco Yacht Show , Azimut|Benetti will again take the spotlight for a media conference at Hôtel Hermitage in Monte-Carlo on September 26, 2024. Entitled "The Shape of the Future," the presentation will be dedicated to innovation, design, and advanced technology.

Stand Azimut is scheduled to be located in Port Hercule along the Quai des États-Unis at QE7, featuring the Magellano 30-meter, the Grande 36-meter, and the Grande Trideck, docked at E01, E03, and E04.
