14 of the best new yachts at the 2018 Miami Yacht Show

Famed for its custom sportsfish yachts, North Carolina-based Hatteras also has a strong line in motor yachts with its M range, the most recent being the M90 Panacera. The star of the show on this model is the enormous forward galley, which is bathed in natural light, thanks to a vast sunroof.

Making her worldwide debut at the 2018 Miami Yacht Show is the fourth hull in Horizon’s RP110 series. Launched back in 2017 and recently delivered, she is laid out in a five-cabin configuration and is propelled to a 21-knot top speed by a pair of 1,900hp Caterpillar C32 ACERT engines.

A relatively new name to the American yachting market, Pearl made its Stateside debut at the 2017 Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show. The 24 metre Pearl 80 is its current flagship (hull one will be at Miami, with two more under construction) and visitors can also learn about the yard’s forthcoming new 29 metre, the Pearl 95, which is due to launch later this year. Pearl works with Dixon Yacht Design to create the naval architecture for all its of models, while the chic, modern interiors come courtesy of Kelly Hoppen.

Boasting sleek, modern lines and a sporty turn of speed, the Princess 30M is sure to make a big impression at the 2018 Miami Yacht Show as the centrepiece of the British yard’s display on Collins Avenue. Key features include a hydraulic swim platform and a garage that is large enough for a 4.5 metre tender.
