Swan 80 Brings Maxi Yacht Performance Below 24 Metres ⛵

The all-new Swan 80 has been launched in Finland, bringing maxi yacht capability into a more accessible under-24-metre format.

Designed by Germán Frers, with styling by Lucio Micheletti and interiors by Misa Poggi, the yacht combines sleek lines, twin rudders, flexible accommodation and serious offshore credentials.

One of the most striking features? A near-flush deck that flows seamlessly into a transformable cockpit and beach club platform, creating a yacht equally suited to ocean passages, regattas and life at anchor.

With its world premiere set for Cannes and sailing debut planned for the Rolex Swan Cup, the Swan 80 is likely to be one of the most talked-about sailing yacht launches of the year.

Sound meets design at sea 🎧🌊

Videoworks has delivered fully integrated Bang & Olufsen audio systems aboard Custom Line 50 and Custom Line Navetta 38 for Ferretti Group.

From sculptural speakers to cinema-grade onboard screens, every system is seamlessly embedded into the yacht’s interior architecture — delivering immersive sound without visual compromise.

It’s a reminder that in modern superyachts, technology is no longer added on… it’s built in from the start.

Now that is what I call a boat! 💥

Speechless! 🤯

👏 Viking Norsafe Marathon S-900

09/06/2026

🤩 On my way to Seawork 2026, and this year’s line-up feels particularly strong across hybrid propulsion, autonomy and high-performance commercial craft.

Volvo Penta is leading the charge with its IPS Hybrid system, bringing electric capability into an established commercial propulsion platform used across ferries, offshore support vessels and workboats. It’s a clear step towards scalable hybridisation in real operational environments, not just pilot projects.

RAD Propulsion is another key one. Their Autonomy Core system is moving the conversation beyond propulsion into remote vessel operations - integrating control, propulsion and communications into a single platform designed for both new builds and retrofit applications.

I will be getting out on the water with Viking with its Marathon RHIB range, including the S-900 capable of over 80 knots! These are serious operational craft for defence, offshore wind and security roles. 🚤

Should be an awesome few days! 🙌

61m Tankoa Superyacht Reaches Major Build Milestone

The full-custom superyacht is designed around lifestyle-led living, featuring multiple pools, a large beach club opening on three sides, and a wellness area complete with gym, sauna and treatment rooms. One of the standout features is a sun deck designed as the primary social hub onboard.

With delivery set for 2029, the project reflects where the 60–70m superyacht sector is heading: more volume, more outdoor space, and increasingly complex onboard environments.

A glimpse into the next generation of custom yachtbuilding.

American Sailing has named David E. Taylor as its new CEO, bringing a rare combination of commercial leadership and lived sailing experience through the ASA system.

Taylor didn’t just join the organisation—he trained through it, earning multiple certifications, an International Proficiency Certificate, and a US Coast Guard Captain’s Licence after starting his journey in 2019.
Now he takes the helm of a global network with 400+ affiliated schools and 600,000+ certified sailors 🌊

His focus? Making structured sailing education more accessible, improving retention, and strengthening the pathway from first lesson to confident skipper.

It’s a leadership story shaped by the same waters ASA teaches on.
