The 27 must-see new yachts at the 2016 Monaco Yacht Show

The latest Custom Line flagship arrives in time to celebrate the Ferretti Group’s 20th anniversary. A high bow and huge windows, including the sleek wrap-around glazing on the upper deck, defines the profile. The entire main deck forward is dedicated to the owner, and has a wide-body master suite.

Wider Yachts’ 46 metre transformer superyacht Genesi – its first superyacht yet – will show off its ample beach club, spacious cabins, breezy indoor/outdoor living areas and large matching tender at the 2016 Monaco Yacht Show.

This is afforded thanks to an innovative hybrid propulsion system that places the engine room in the bow, and also provides impressive performance on this quiet Italian superyacht.

The Turkish built Giaola-Lu is heading to Monaco this year to show off the fine craftsmanship of Bilgin Yachts. Her Mexican owner specified a high-tech interior for this 46.8 metre yacht, including smartphone controls for the Harman Kardon sound system, curtains, air conditioning, lighting, televisions and security cameras.

With a cherry-red paint job and sleek lines by Hot Lab — note the steep stern rake — Mondomarine’s 49.2 metre Ipanema demands to be noticed. Contrasting the powerful, sports car exterior, the interior is classically inspired. Columns, friezes and bas-reliefs abound, and more than a dozen different kind of marbles were used.

Part of Feadship’s new 34 metre semi-custom range, Kamino is heading to the 2016 Monaco Yacht Show. With the highest proportion of superstructure glazing in any Feadship to date, this semi-displacement yacht features bright and airy interiors by London-based studio Bannenberg & Rowell and 2.45 metre high ceilings in the main saloon. Twin 1,800hp MTU engines will propel Kamino to a top speed of 19 knots.

Flagship of the Finnish yard and one of the best Nautor’s Swan sailing yachts to date, the Swan 115 merges cruising comfort and racing prowess. The first to launch had a semi-raised saloon, while hull number two, Shamanna, is a low-profile Flush Deck version, offering uncluttered deck spaces and lean lines. Germán Frers designed the hull with performance in mind, allowing for maximum downwind speeds.

Launched earlier this year as the fourth hull in the Wally Ace series, Wally Casa will be attending this year’s Monaco Yacht Show. This 27.33 metre superyacht was commissioned by an American owner and features interiors that were developed by Wally Yachts in collaboration with Luca Bassani Design.
