Pardo GT75 Pardo Yachts Debuts GT75 Flagship

Pardo Yachts unveiled its GT75 flagship at the recent Cannes Yachting Festival. The 75-foot yacht is stylized with a reverse bow and sporty forward-leaning windshield. A brainchild of Cantiere del Pardo, the GT75's naval architecture was conceived by Zuccheri Yacht Design. Nauta Design also contributed to the ship's interiors and exteriors.

The GT75's enclosed superstructure provides complete protection, while a semi-open roof offers an airy lounge space to beat the heat. Her spacious cockpit is surrounded by large wraparound windows-most of which can be opened.

Van der Valk, a premier Dutch shipyard, excels in crafting bespoke custom motoryachts between 25 and 40 meters, combining solid design, expert engineering, world-class collaborations, and advanced facilities. Find out how their 100-strong team proudly showcases prowess beyond heritage in yacht building.

Horizon Yachts has delivered more than 910 yachts worldwide in 36 years. It is one of the 10 largest yacht builders in the world. The company has four specialized shipyards and employs 800 people-and, in the past four years, has taken dramatic steps to "rebuild."

Horizon's CEO, John Lu, added seven new bays for fitting out hulls, allowing for approximately 15 yachts to be under construction at any given time. This system eliminates the need to move hulls from one shed to another, saving time. Other upgrades include a 3D printer, a precision five-axis router and a cafeteria. A 1,000-ton ship lift is in the works too.

John Bayliss and his team of boatbuilders at Bayliss Boatworks in Wanchese, North Carolina, is accustomed to working with owners to create hand-crafted sport-fishing machines. That was certainly the case when Bayliss and his team took on their first walkaround build: the 60-foot Sequentis .

A walkaround design is similar to an express-boat layout, but it has deep alleys around the perimeter of the vessel. This setup gives anglers 360-degree access around the boat for fighting fish. And since Sequentis was designed for tournament live-bait sailfishing in South Florida, there's as much fishing to be done off the bow as there is from the more traditional cockpit.

Boat Fix, a recreational boating telematics company that provides a combination of real time remote monitoring, GPS tracking, sophisticated geofencing, and 24/7 live customer support, announced today its Admiral Club Member sponsorship of the National Safe Boating Council (NSBC).

"At Boat Fix safety is in our DNA and our goal is to promote safe, secure, and stress-free boating," said Steve Pitsos, CEO, Boat Fix. "To support the NSBC at this level aligns with this vision. We are excited to be a part of the organization and thrilled to help them in their mission of advocating for a safer boating culture."
