New yachts from Feadship, L\u00fcrssen, Benetti, Oceanco, and other big yards will be the hottest deliveries this year. Here’s the backstory on each.<\/p>\n
The upcoming year promises to be an exciting time for the yachting industry, with new design trends, fresh materials, and advances in eco-friendly propulsion systems already shaping the fleet.<\/p>\n
As many yacht owners\u2019 appetites for adventure grows and the explorer market continues to boom, we can see a trend for expedition-style features with long range, increased food storage, and rough-and-ready exteriors all becoming increasingly popular. On the other side of the spectrum, there\u2019s been a resurgence in slightly retro or traditionally styled yachts, with some designers stepping away from uber-contemporary plumb bows and modern superstructures.<\/p>\n
Space also continues to be an important factor in the yacht designs of the moment, with naval architects looking for more ways to add in extra gross tonnage without extending the overall length. Other variables, like alternative propulsion systems and more focus on crew spaces, are additionally having an impact on what yachts look and feel like in 2025 and beyond.<\/p>\n
With the new year here, these are the most exciting yachts to look out for in the next 12 months.<\/p>\n
After hitting the water in 2022, Project Shackleton has a highly anticipated delivery date at the end of 2025. The build started at the naval military division of the prestigious German shipyard L\u00fcrssen\u2014a testament to its explorer capabilities and hardy nature. Norwegian design studio Salt Ship Design had a mammoth 6,500 gross tonnes of volume to play with, so gave the vessel a distinctive reverse bow and open aft deck that\u2019s primed for helicopter ops.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
One of the most exciting deliveries of 2025 will be Feadship\u2019s fuel-cell-assisted Project 821, now known as Breakthrough<\/em>. True to its name, the yacht is a landmark launch that harnesses liquid hydrogen to power both on-board amenities and coastal navigation. The vessel marks a series of groundbreaking firsts for the industry. Behind the elegant exterior penned by British studio RWD, the interior has unusual details that include a coffee corner, library, and two-bedroom owner\u2019s apartment.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Like all Oceanco projects, Y722 is shrouded in secrecy. What we do know is that this Espen \u00d8ino-designed yacht will join a fleet of privately owned vessels that will aid in scientific and environmental research. According to the yard, the 364-footer was \u201cborn from a desire to showcase the extraordinary things a yacht can and should do.\u201d Features like diesel-electric propulsion and easy-to-maintain systems put functionality and practicality front and center.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
With an interior style that\u2019s described as penthouse-style and full of \u201chybrid\u201d socializing zones, JAS is a cool new addition to the Admiral fleet. The distinctive exterior lines, which include massive lengths of glass windows to create a light-bathed interior, will make the new Admiral easily recognizable wherever its cruises. British design studio Mark Berryman designed the interior using a mix of woods, marbles, and leather.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
On track to become the largest Dutch-built motoryacht in the world, Project Tanzanite is currently in the outfitting phase at Amels\u2019 facility in the Netherlands. The Espen \u00d8ino-designed yacht has an interior by French studio Zuretti and is expected to be elegant and refined, yet warm and convivial, with features like a large aft deck pool as well as many statement marble designs.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
Another yacht joining the Feadship fleet will be One<\/em>, a sleek and masculine 248-footer which also happens to be for sale about $179 million (\u20ac172.5 million). Parisian studio Gilles & Boissier was brought in for the interior, while Feadship\u2019s in-house design arm, de Voogt, completed the exterior. Highlights include a touch-and-go helipad and a glass-bottomed pool that sends cascades of light into the beach club.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
Katana<\/em> is the fourth yacht in Perini Navi\u2019s 60-metre (196-foot) series, but the first monohull to be built under the Perini Navi brand since it was acquired by the Italian Sea Group. Ron Holland and R\u00e9mi Tessier came together for exterior and interior design respectively, and the yacht features a number of technical upgrades and innovations that will improve handling under sail.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
Turkish shipyard Turquoise has kept Project Toro largely under wraps since the project was sold in 2021. But as the yard\u2019s new flagship, the 259-footer is an ambitious undertaking that will include a semi-submerged underwater observation lounge and seven-cabin layout. British design firm Harrison Eidsgaard was called in to lend a contemporary touch to the yacht\u2019s exterior and interior.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
Set to be delivered early this year, Juno\u2019s 7<\/em> is a classic in the making from Italian shipyard Benetti. The vessel is the largest yacht in this particular Benetti series and features a clean profile with a flared bow and proportionate decks penned by Giorgio M. Cassetta. \u201cThis yacht represents Benetti\u2019s excellence and tradition combined with a modern interpretation. [The designers] have been able to reinterpret the style of the interiors with great skills,\u201d Benetti sales director Daniela Petrozzi tells Robb Report.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
In the Netherlands, a new yard called Leapher Yachts is working on a robust new explorer called Project Lazarus designed for traversing the globe. The 1,710 GT yacht, pictured here in the initial build phase, can cruise 40 days autonomously and has the ability to visit some of the planet\u2019s most out-of-reach destinations, thanks to its ice-class capacity. Features will include a 23-foot pool and storage for a car.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
