The Discover Boating Miami International Boat Show is back after a year hiatus with an impressive showcase of the biggest names in yachting. This year the Miami International Boat Show and Miami Yacht Show have joined forces to present one of the biggest boat shows in America. Here are some of the yachts to look out for...
Ocean Alexander 30R
Ocean Alexander has teamed up with longtime collaborator Evan K. Marshall to create a modern interpretation of the shipyard's successful 100 series. The 30 metre motor yacht features a signature Revolution vertical bow and offers owners more interior space than its predecessors. The upper deck can be configured as a sky lounge or as a 'new generation' pilothouse with a foredeck lounge for secluded sunning.
Azimut 38m Grande Trideck
The 38 metre Azimut Grande Trideck is the new flagship of the Azimut fleet and represents the shipyard's first foray into tri-deck superyachts. The new model is described by Azimut as “three decks plus one” due to an extra deck at the stern that serves as a sea view terrace.
Gene Machine and Gene Chaser
The 55 metre Amels 180 Limited Editions Gene Machine and her matching Damen Yachting support vessel Gene Chaser have both confirmed attendance at this year's show. The pair have been cruising in tandem since 2021 and offer over 100 metres of superyacht amenities between them.
Spritz 102
The 31 metre Spritz 102 is one of the first offerings from newcomer Alpha Custom Yachts. The model has been designed inside and out by Giorgio Casetta with naval architecture by Laurent Giles. Highlights include a tiered aft deck with a plunge pool and a fold-down sofa on the swim platform. The second hull in the series, named Vivace, will be on display at the Miami International Boat Show and is available for charter with Denison Yachting.
Thunder
Oceanfast motor yacht Thunder is used to turning heads and will no doubt gather quite the crowd in Miami. The 50 metre superyacht is easily one of the most eye-catching designs by the late Jon Bannenberg thanks to its jet fighter-style exhausts, oversized air intakes and sparkling silver paint job. Thunder was built in 1998 for an owner looking for a hyper-fast boat and is now offered for sale with IYC.
Custom Line Navetta 42
At 42 metres in length, the flagship of Custom Line's Navetta range is one of the largest boats on display at this year's Miami International Boat Show. Highlights include an owner’s suite with a private fold-down terrace, a sundeck Jacuzzi and a foredeck sun lounge with oversized sun pads.
Il'Barbetta
The 44.2 metre Benetti motor yacht Il'Barbetta joined the market in October 2021 and will be on display in Miami this week. Listed for sale with Merle Wood & Associates, Il'Barbetta was delivered in 2009 and features an interior by Bannenberg & Rowell with exterior styling by Stefano Righini. She is offered for sale fresh from a multimillion-dollar refit including an exterior repaint and new teak. Plus, she is the only yacht in her class fitted with a three-person elevator.
Venera
Venera was built by Dutch shipyard Van der Valk and joined the market last year. The 28.5 metre motor yacht was designed by Guido de Groot as a no-nonsense, trawler-style explorer with an industrial-style interior. Venera is the latest evolution of Van der Valk's explorer offering and is listed for sale with Eastwind Yachts.
Another One
The 38 metre Another One is one of the latest members of Sanlorenzo's SX112 crossover series. Fresh from the shipyard, she was delivered earlier this year and is now listed for sale with Burgess. Zuccon International Project designed the exterior with a 92 square metre aft deck and fold-out terraces.
