With the conclusion of the Cannes Yachting Festival and the prestigious Monaco Yacht Show last month, when many leading shipyards have debuted exciting new designs and groundbreaking technology, we take a closer look at some of the biggest news so far in the evolving world of yachting, as well as offer a sneak peek of what's to come.
The top yacht trends for 2023 have shown a big focus on greener yachting solutions (including hybrid and electric yachts, together with sustainable on-board features), groundbreaking technology, exciting design solutions, and a changing demographic with a younger yachting clientele. While North America and Europe remain the world's largest yacht markets, Asia has now overtaken Europe as the second-largest UHNW region. And by 2024 Asia-Pacific will boast almost a quarter of the global population of UHNWIs. At the same time, the millennial influence on the yachting sector continues to increase, with the average age of superyacht owners now predicted to be between 35 and 45.
Here's a round-up of some of the vessels in 2023 that we are most excited about - either released earlier in the year or at the Cannes and Monaco shows.
BENETTI B.YOND LIMITED EDITION
To celebrate its 150th anniversary, Benetti is presenting a new, limited-edition voyager yacht called B.Yond. Spanning 40m, the vessel cleverly distributes spaces and volumes, offering extraordinary comfort comparable to larger mega yachts. With four elegantly developed decks, the magnificent boat provides various relaxation areas for guests to enjoy or from which to admire the surrounding panoramas. Notably, the stern features a spacious, well-equipped area, whose generous dimensions include a sunbathing spot and a scenic infinity pool with a glass bottom, providing guests with the mesmerising sensation of nearly touching the sea.
