Pardo GT65 | Sporty by Design
Pardo Yachts expands its GT series with this crossover model that blends the performance of a day yacht with cruiser accommodations. Exterior lines and interior layouts are by Milan, Italy-based Nauta, with naval architecture by Zuccheri Yacht Design. The exterior profile is pure Pardo, with a plumb bow, reverse windshield and deckhouse wrapped in glazing. Highlights include a tender garage, a cantilevered sunbed aft, a concealed grill and a lower galley that frees up space in the salon. Three staterooms are below. Twin Volvo Penta D13 IPS1350s engines should deliver a top speed of 35 knots.
Pershing GTX90 | Sportbridge Living
This is the fourth model in Pershing’s GTX lineup, which spans from 70 to 116 feet long. The GTX90 is a four-stateroom yacht with the raised cockpit shown in the image below. With those foldout side terraces open, the dance space is nearly 400 square feet, giving everyone plenty of room to gear up for snorkeling, paddleboarding or playing with the Seabobs that can stow beneath the sunpad. There’s also outdoor relaxation space up on the sportbridge, with sunbathing aft or dining in the hardtop’s shade. Note the lack of tenders in sight; the yacht’s double garage houses a Williams SportJet 395 and a Sea-Doo Spark Trixx.
Sirena 118 | The New Flagship
The docks of the Cannes Yachting Festival will be the stage for the world premiere of the Sirena 118, which is the Turkish builder’s new flagship. Sirena’s in-house team created the exterior styling, with naval architecture by Germán Frers and interiors by Cor D. Rover. The layout can include as many as six guest staterooms, or owners can choose what the builder is calling a two-level loft suite that connects the main deck stateroom with a private lower-deck space that has direct water access. Power is a pair of 3,100 hp MAN V-12s with a reported top speed of 16 knots. An optional 3,800 hp package takes the top speed up to 21 knots.
Riviera 645 SUV Series II | Time to Level Up
Good boats never die; they just get better. Case in point: the Riviera 645 SUV Series II, the next generation of the adventure yacht that premiered in 2021. The bluewater hull is the same, but the interior is redesigned, and there’s more smart technology on board, including Starlink internet connectivity and a Praxis Composite Solar charging system. Owners have more opportunities to personalize their build, too. What doesn’t change: the expansive cockpit and the single-level main-deck layout that’s ideal for entertaining. Three or four staterooms are available. Engine options are twin 1,300 hp or 1,550 hp MAN diesels.
Forte 47 Gran Turismo | 47 Knots of Fun
The 47 Gran Turismo will be the official market debut for Forte Yachts. It’s an Italian brand backed by West Navaltech, which builds high-performance aluminium vessels and superyacht components. The Gran Turismo is the outboard-powered version of the 47, which also comes in a Lounge Deck version with an inboard Volvo Penta IPS system. With the triple 600 hp Mercury V-12 Verados, the boat’s top hop is 47 knots, according to the builder. Umberto Tagliavini handled naval architecture and engineering. The designer is Paolo Giordano, who created a standard two-stateroom, two-head layout that can be largely customized.
Numarine 27XP | Super Silent Cruising
The Numarine 27XP will make its world premiere at the Cannes Yachting Festival, alongside the 40MXP that will make its European debut. Five hulls of the 27XP have already been sold, with design inside and out by Can Yalman. Naval architecture is by Umberto Tagliavini. A notable feature is Numarine’s Mk2 Super Silent Pack, developed with the team at Sleipner. It has a 48-volt energy architecture and integrated hybrid power center, combining a 92.8 kWh lithium-iron-phosphate battery bank with 5.6 kW of solar generation. The result, according to the builder, is less energy loss and quieter, more stable electrical performance.
