28 of the best new yachts on display at the 2017 Monaco Yacht Show

The second largest yacht to date from Italian yard CRN, 74 metre Cloud 9 was delivered earlier this year sporting exterior lines by Zuccon International Project and palatial Winch Design interiors, totalling in excess of 1,000 square metres. Key features include a separate owner’s deck and a beach club with an extendable bathing platform.

Parent company Ferretti Group will also be giving a Monaco debut to its updated version of the Custom Line Navetta 33, which is due to be unveiled in Cannes a few weeks prior.

Configurable yacht specialist Dynamiq made a huge impact at last year’s Monaco Yacht Show with the 39 metre Jetsetter, and the yard’s 35 metre follow-up GTT 115 looks every inch as impressive. Studio FA Porsche helped to develop both the exterior styling and the achingly cool interiors, with Pepita houndstooth fabrics similar to those found on the latest Porsche 911 R edition sportscar.

The first Heesen yacht to combine hybrid propulsion with a fast displacement hull, 49.8 metre Home will be making her debut at Monaco this year. Italian design Cristiano Gatto created a chic, modern interior for this all aluminium yacht, which perfectly compliments her sleek exterior styling, which comes courtesy of long-time yard collaborator Omega Architects. And given Heesen’s reputation for top-notch hospitality, the 4.8 metre long sundeck bar should come in handy during the show.

Kalliente is the first hull of Dominator’s Ilumen range. The semi-displacement epoxy carbon boat lives up to its series moniker with floor to ceiling glazing in the saloon and a light-flooded master cabin, all wrapped in muscular lines penned by Alberto Mancini.

The first Swan 95 is a sailer built for slick performance, with twin rudders for responsiveness and easy manoeuvring, while a lifting keel can shrink her draught from 5.5m to 3.3m. Lot 99 features a semi-raised saloon, but a flush deck version of the 95 is also available.

Another Turkish titan hoping to take Monaco by storm, 47.5 metre Nerissa is hull number one in Bilgin’s 156 semi-custom series. Her curvaceous exterior is straight from the boards of Unique Yacht Design, who also contributed the naval architecture for the project, while British studio H2 Yacht Design worked up her bright, modern interior décor.

Yard owner Hans Georg Näder has commissioned Baltic for all six of his Pink Gin sailing yachts and the latest installment, Pink Gin VI, pushes the boundaries of sailing design in several key ways. Keep an eye out for multiple balconies cut into her 53.9 metre carbon-fibre hull, as well as her Design Unlimited interior of petrified wood, salmon skin, gilded bronze, hammered copper and velvet.

Italian yard Perini Navi has confirmed that it will be bringing a 60 metre sailing yacht to Monaco this year, with reports suggesting that it is the in-build project currently known as C2232, which was recently launched and named Seven. She is the third such yacht to be built by Perini, following on from Seahawk and Perseus 3, all of which benefit from Ron Holland's naval architecture expertise.

Hull number one in the Sanlorenzo 52 Steel range, Seven Sins has already been given the red carpet treatment in Monaco as part of her official unveiling last month. Returning to the principality in September, she will be fresh from her maiden season cruising the Mediterranean. No doubt her Belgian owner will have made good use of her fold-out beach club and aft-deck swimming pool.

Meanwhile, the 42.2 metre Ocean’s Four and as-yet-unnamed models from the SL118 and SD126 series will also be representing the Italian yard in Port Hercules.

The priorities of the UK yard, and its clients, are changing, from speed to comfort (although at 25 knots the 131 is still no slouch). The Sunseeker 131 is based on the 40M and 35M, but with enormous windows and cutaway bulkheads. We don’t yet know which hull will attend the show, but the first launch, Zozo (pictured above), boasts a subtle and restrained interior in American black walnut and Dark Emperador marble. The boat will be joined by a 116 and a 95.
