Cantiere delle Marche has delivered the Darwin 86 Empire

Cantiere delle Marche has delivered the Darwin 86 Empire , which now joins the shipyard's fleet of 12 Darwins that range from 86 to 112 feet length overall.

"The Darwin Class is still giving us a great satisfaction, confirming the validity of a model that stands the test of time," Vasco Buonpensiere, co-founder and CEO of Cantiere delle Marche, stated in a press release.

Empire is owned by an American who wanted a custom design that's capable of long voyages in high-latitude regions. Hydro Tec handled the aesthetics.

Connoisseurs of high-end travel are always looking for the next best idea. Even at the upper extremes of luxury, there might be a way to tweak this piece or twist that part in a way that creates an even more perfect offering for an audience that wants a certain type of experience. Crewed yacht charter? It's a fantastic option that already comes in many tantalizing flavors. But what about crewed yacht charter and… all the additional possibilities that last bit might include?

Such is the thinking behind two new initiatives that allow vacationers to experience top-brand yachts in new ways. Motoryachts built by Sunseeker in the United Kingdom and by Azimut in Italy have long been considered prime-quality options for recreation on the world's waterways.

This 40-footer combines all-day entertainment on the water and luxurious extended stays to create a premium express cruiser.

The three-stateroom, 27-knot wallywhy100's single-level layout eliminates barriers between inside and outside.

When Wally penned the wallywhy100-the smallest of the boatbuilder's three-model why series, which also includes the wallywhy200 and wallywhy150-the goal was to create a vessel for those who like coupe-style yachts but want more performance and increased onboard comfort.

The wallywhy100 aims to achieve its mission in a few ways, starting with a single-level, main-deck layout. From the yacht 's shaded teak cockpit to the helm station forward, the real estate is open and surrounded by a low-profile glass superstructure, enhancing the airy vibe inside while creating a chic line outside.

After just over three years of design and building, Heesen Yachts christened and delivered its 164-foot YN 20350, MY ALP with a maiden voyage from the Netherlands to its new owner in the Mediterranean.

ALP belongs to Heesen's 50-meter semidisplacement series, and work on this vessel began on May 3, 2021. According to a news release from the yacht builder, celebrations began on June 10 in Hellevoetsluis, South Holland, where ALP was berthed following the successful completion of extensive testing in the North Sea.
