AQUARAMA KNIFE AND RIVAMARE
Among the many items traditionally associated with yachting, the sailor’s knife certainly ranks high on the list and still hasn’t been supplanted by its digital counterpart.

Riva, together with cutlery manufacturer Saladini from Scarperia, has developed two types of accessories. The first one is inspired by the classic Riva Aquarama boat, so the knife handle is made of wood and the blade is made of polished steel. The second accessory with its lines resembles the modern yacht Rivamare, so that the knife is made of alloys and brushed steel. The materials used to create both knives provide an incredible tactile sensation.

The set includes an elegant leather case that will allow you to take the accessory with you and become an “ally” during yachting. Both items can be mounted on an elegant plexiglass support. Thanks to this, they also serve as art objects, ideal for home or office decoration.

Italian shipyard CRN has announced the construction of a new 67m steel and aluminum yacht. The project, hull 143 and named ‘Maranello’, will be completely custom, as will the other yachts of the shipyard. CRN M/Y 143 aims to be a unique yacht that combines CRN expertise, design solutions and high quality. In addition, Carlo Nuvolari and Dan Lenard from Nuvolari Lenard Studio are involved in the project, and the project is managed and managed by Moran Yacht & Ship.

With her sleek, aerodynamic lines, this yacht is distinguished by an incomparable style that fully reflects the vision and requirements of its owner. In particular, the desire for the rational use of resources will be clearly traced here. All of this echoes the shipyard’s own passion for the environment. Thus, the CRN M/Y 143 is an innovative and environmentally friendly pleasure yacht with a state-of-the-art hybrid diesel-electric propulsion system to improve energy efficiency and significantly reduce fuel consumption.

A non-trivial synthesis of creativity and personality is a short description of the CRN M / Y 143, which will be the eighth creation by CRN in partnership with Nuvolari Lenard since 2001. CRN is currently building 4 more custom yachts: the 62m CRN M/Y 138, the 72m CRN, the M/Y 139, the 60m CRN M/Y 141 and the 52m CRN M/Y 142.

More details about the interiors, the number of cabins and other technical specifications have not yet been disclosed.

While we are waiting for the appearance of serial flying machines, the Italian designer Pierpaolo Lazzarini is not sitting still and is actively expanding his collection of innovative and slightly extravagant projects. His new company, Floating Motors, will turn vintage cars into electric powerboats.

Called resto-float, this method can give a second life to any legendary supercar of the past. It involves the restoration of any old model, but without the use of a technical automotive platform. The car body will be installed on a multihull base (catamaran) or will be equipped with hydrofoils.

The length of such a “toy” can vary, depending on the wishes, and all of them will receive the possibility of extended motorization, including one or a pair of electric motors from 20 to 270 hp. Also, the boat can be equipped with outboard engines from 40 to 350 hp as standard.

Floating Motors’ current offerings are a stellar lineup of refurbished classic cars including VW Microbus, Fiat 500, Mini Cooper, Porsche 550 Spyder and Jaguar E-Type. Basically, such carbots can be used for coastal waters or as a pleasure boat on lakes. But the company also plans to offer them as a tender for a superyacht or water shuttle from the beach to the hotel.

The Yacht Festival was the first yacht show in Europe to re-open its doors after the pandemic, and it should be noted that this event went especially well. All 6 days the festival was filled with energy and enthusiasm shared by all participants, visitors, partners, service providers and organizers. It brought together 575 exhibitors, 620 boats (including 141 world premieres) and 54,400 visitors, 50% of whom came from abroad, and came to admire the best French and international motor, sailing, monohull and multihull boats. The number of visitors to the 2021 festival is identical to that of 2019, which was a record year. The festival has managed to successfully fit into this year’s challenging conditions and offer a wide range of brands, new products, boat types and services. Despite travel restrictions that were introduced for some countries, the festival received not only clients from Europe, but also visitors from all over the world. The yachting festival took place on the territory of both ports of Cannes, as well as the first time, the Old Port and Port of Canto. “Our goal was to prepare and conduct the festival in the same way as in 2019, despite COVID, in terms of the number of participants, boats and visitors. If the total number of exhibitors (-7%) and boats (-4%) slightly decreased compared to 2019, then the number of boats presented as world premieres increased by 10%, while the number of visitors remained the same. We are proud and very pleased with these results. This festival presented a real challenge at every stage of its organization. We have continually taken into account new organizational constraints in the course of legislative changes, and we have worked closely and effectively with the Prefect of the Alpes-Maritimes, the Sub-Prefect of Grasse and their departments, to whom I thank. The closer the opening date got, the more we felt the motivation, enthusiasm and growing impatience of our exhibitors and visitors to meet again in Cannes. The 2021 event was incredible in terms of preparation and experience, both for them and for me and my team, it was an incredible experience. 2021 will remain unforgettable in many ways ”! – concluded Sylvie Earnoult, Director of the Yacht Festival. The port of the Old Town during this period was completely dedicated to the water transport industry with more than 480 boats from 3 to 50 meters. An entirely new space has also been created for electric or hybrid boats, with a dozen boats from Boote Marian, Candela Speed ​​Boats, E-Sense of Blue, Ecoline, Say Carbon Yachts, Vita Yachts and X-Shore, among others. vessels and a test site (which was located outside the route of the visit), in order to facilitate test drives and make the Festival safe by reducing maritime traffic within the port.

The new Custom Line 140 ‘will be the shipyard’s third project, with exteriors designed by Francesco Pashkovski and interiors by Margarita Casprini in collaboration with Custom Line Atelier. Designers drew inspiration from residential architecture during its creation, and many new features will be seen on board, including improved shapes and volumes.

The Custom Line 140 ‘has a gross tonnage of about 400 gross tons and will become not only the flagship of the shipyard, but also the largest yacht ever built by the brand. It will be 42.15 meters long and 8.57 meters wide. In addition, innovative technologies for lighter weight and hybrid materials will be actively used on board to maintain high performance, strength and safety.

It is also an improved displacement hull, which allows the yacht to develop high speeds, in particular, the maximum speed is declared at 21.5 knots.

Exterior

The CL 140 ‘has a sporty aesthetic, with precise lines from bow to stern. Smooth yet powerful lines clearly convey the brand’s planing yacht family. The hull portholes are generous in size, and floor-to-ceiling glazing in the cabin provides direct contact with water.

To enhance the effect of open space, the bulwarks have cutouts on both sides. Another important detail is the painted aluminum handrail with Y-pillars – it will become an elegant and functional element of the exterior design. In addition, Pashkowski has taken care of an exciting alternation of materials and colors, where light textured surfaces are replaced by dark mirrored glazing.

Main characteristics and interior

On board the three-deck yacht, the flows of guests and staff are clearly separated, and in the living area, the outer and inner spaces smoothly flow into each other. Emphasizing this approach to layout, a staircase on the port side directly connects the main deck to the sun deck via the upper deck.

At the stern, the beach by the water was created in order to offer guests special conditions for relaxation and communication. There are no service or technical areas in this part of the boat, so the space can be furnished at the request of the owner with maximum comfort. And the descent and ascent of the tender is carried out through the ramp on the left side.

On the main deck, in addition to the spacious saloon, there is a full-deck master suite with two dressing rooms and bathrooms. As an option, it is possible to equip the cabin with a panoramic terrace, which will open in order to provide the owner with an additional area in direct contact with the sea. On the lower deck there are four more cabins: three VIP and a guest room with two twin beds. On the upper deck there is a sky lounge with panoramic glazing, and the captain’s bridge is equipped with a Teamitalia dashboard.

The sundeck area on Custom Line 140 ‘is a panoramic area where you can enjoy complete privacy. There is also a relaxation area with a hot tub, free-standing furniture, and a sun deck can be protected from the sun by a bimini top.

The bow is essentially an open lounge, and the technical equipment area is gracefully integrated into the deck. An additional garage can also be placed here, which is convenient to use for placing a tender or a jet ski.

Technoligies

The Custom Line 140 ‘will be powered by a pair of 2638 hp MTU 16V 2000 M96L engines. The architects have paid maximum attention to comfort during the transitions to ensure an acoustic “peace” based on a detailed mathematical analysis of each individual noise source and its location. For example, solutions used include stabilizing systems, special materials and additional insulation between bulkheads and in ceilings. Another contribution to acoustic comfort is the installation of silent engine exhaust systems and mechanisms specially designed to absorb vibration.

The Custom Line 140 ‘, like all the latest generation of Custom Line yachts, will be certified according to IMO TIER III standards, which protect the environment in the shipbuilding industry by reducing toxic emissions of nitrogen oxides (NOx) in exhaust gases. The yacht also meets the requirements of the international MCA certification.

The long-awaited exhibition, which did not take place last year, is starting very soon! It will be the first major event to open after the pandemic.

The Cannes Yachting Festival will take place from 7 to 12 September at the Old Port and the Port of Pierre Canto.

The Cannes Yachting Festival is expected to bring together around 500 representatives from the French and international yachting industry. 600 motor boats from 3 to 45 meters are announced for participation, which will be exhibited on water and on land in the Old Port, as well as 150 sailboats - in Pierre Canto.

The Kairos project is the result of a collaboration between renowned design studio Pininfarina and superyacht shipyard Oceanco, while Lateral Naval Architects are responsible for technical design and engineering.

The name Kairos comes from one of the ancient Greek words for time. In this case, it is a time that will be filled with opportunities, triumph and potential for the future. The Kairos project received such an ambitious name for a reason. It is focused on providing an unrestricted experience on board. That is why the E-Hybrid propulsion system will be used on board. Solar panels will become the main source of energy for the movement of the boat, as well as for powering the hotel complex.

The Kairos project is also based on Oceanco NXT’s Green Technology and Innovation Initiative. The shipyard is actively promoting sustainable yachting ideas that are likely to be the future of the superyacht industry.

“Kairos is a remarkable creation, created by three dedicated and enthusiastic partners: Pininfarina, Lateral and Oceanco,” comments Marcel Onckenhout, CEO of Oceanco. “When owners see a project from Oceanco NXT, they know they can expect a decent standard of living on board that is consistent with the new vision of sustainability.”

“Our main goal as designers is to create new yacht interior concepts that can add charm to every moment on board,” adds Paolo Pininfarina of the Pininfarina design studio.

In the midst of the Cannes Film Festival, let’s remember the legendary Italian mahogany Riva boats that can be seen in the masterpieces of world cinema.

Welcome onboard and stock up on popcorn.

The first article is dedicated to the Italian shipyard of luxury boats Riva. Over the 178-year history of its existence, Riva has taken over the cinema, appearing in a variety of blockbusters with world-famous stars since the middle of the last century. No wonder, combining traditional style and modern technical characteristics, these boats harmoniously fit into pictures, where the director’s idea involves showing the status, taste, style and wealth of their characters. In a classic runabout, made in wooden cladding, both the sex symbol of the 40s Clark Gamble and the women idol, Chris Hemsworth, could ride with a breeze. There is an overview where you can meet variety of films where Riva has become an integral part of the movie scenes.

Le mépris (1963)

The dramatic film with the inimitable Brigitte Bordeaux in the main role tells the story of a love triangle in which the actors experience the whole spectrum of doomed and contemptuous feelings for each other. Those who don’t really like drama might be discouraged while watching the movie, but Bardo’s beauty on the Capri neutralizes any boredom. When she sits over the Riva’s board and goes deep into the Gulf of Naples, it seems that mankind will not come up with a more harmonious picture. The only sad thing is that this magic moment did not last long.

Manon 70 (1968)

Five years later the unsurpassed Catherine Deneuve entered the rivalry with Brigitte Bardot. The twists and turns of love in this French drama were as thrilling as the sea rocking the wooden Riva with seething and frothy waves of the Côte d’Azur. Although the film failed, not collecting a large box office and many rave reviews, it gave us Catherine, who cuts thru the waves on the legendary product of the elite Italian shipbuilding industry.

Deadlier than the Male (1967)

Deadlier than the Male is a British painting in a James Bond style. The main character, an imposing middle-aged man, fights two no less attractive criminals who are armed with firearms, hypodermic and paralyzing injections, skillfully placed time bombs in apartments and cigars loaded with bullets. The plot unfolds in the struggle for Saudi oil. Absolute madness combined with humor, stylish characters and beautiful landscapes will plunge the viewer into the incredible atmosphere of the mid-20th century. And, of course, there were a couple of Riva boats plying the picturesque expanses of the Ligurian Sea in northern Italy. True, due to an unfortunate coincidence of circumstances, one of them mercilessly explodes at the very end of the film, but what sacrifices you will not make for the sake of art!

For Your Eyes Only (1981)

Worth saying that Riva is not uncommon for the Bond film itself. Exclusive boats appear in different parts of the movie where James Bond was played by the inimitable Robert Moore, and later, in 1995, it meets in the “Golden Eye” with the young handsome Pierce Brosnan in the main role. And even later, Riva appears in the movie “Casino Royale”, where 007 was played by Daniel Craig. Over time the relevance of the exquisite gloss of vintage Riva only gains momentum. And the release of films about the super agent, from the 60s to the present day with its participation only confirms this.

Nikita (1990)

“Nice boat. Redwood!”, – says one of Luc Besson’s heroes, sitting on the boat in the middle of the Venetian canal. Nikita and her companion’s trip to Venice begins with Riva Ariston and it is impossible to argue that it is beautiful.

The Italian Job (2003)

The action of the first part of the Hollywood action movie “The Italian Job” takes place in Venice, the Italian capital of canoes, single-deck small boats and small cruisers. Therefore, it would be surprising if Riva never flashed and delighted the eyes of the audience. Here it happened in the stellar company of Mark Wahlberg, Charlize Theron, Jason Statham and Edward Norton.

Ocean’s Twelve (2004)

Riva has been synonymous with “status” for more than a decade, and its name often flashes alongside the brands Rolls-Royce, Ferrari, Cartier. It is natural that Riva Aquariva appears in the sequel to the cult Ocean’s Eleven in the episode where the action takes place on Lake Como. By the way, George Clooney, who played the main character in the film, bought the same boat for himself shortly after filming, celebrated his wedding on it and later starred in an ad for the Swiss watch brand Omega.

Killers (2010)

An easy and non-trivial plot plus a bright duet of Ashton Kutcher and Katherine Heigl, multiplied by stylish and elite places in the south of France, give us a pleasant looking picture that can brighten up a romantic or family evening. And the Aquariva plowing the open spaces of the Cote d’Azur and cutting along the coastal mountain serpentines Ferrari from the first seconds of the film make it clear that the producers did not spare the budget for the film.

Men in Black: International (2019)

A fairly fresh film, a spin-off to the already classic film about super-agents who save the planet from intergalactic terrorists and space monsters, was released two years ago. The movie got average ratings and reviews from film critics, mainly for predictable plot and mediocre direction. However, it is worth watching, if only for Chris Hemsworth, who is sailing across the sea in a brand new Riva. You can endlessly look at fire, water and how other people work. But this little episode can also be added to the list.

It looks like the pandemic is on the wane or has given a little respite, so yacht shows may gradually return to offline format. The Ferretti Group has confirmed to host its annual Private Preview at the Monaco Yacht Club, and will also take part in the 43rd Cannes Yachting Festival, which will take place from 7 to 12 September 2021 on the Côte d’Azur. Several models will be presented for the first time – the Riva 68 ‘Diable and 76’ Perseo Super, Pershing 6X and Wally WHY200. Also, everyone will be able to see the Ferretti Yachts 1000, which was officially premiered a few months earlier at the Venice Boat Show in Italy. Style, innovative technology and comfort – all of which you can enjoy aboard Ferretti Yachts, Pershing, Riva and Wally.

RIVA 68 ’DIABLE

It is the diamond in the open yacht range, combining dynamism, innovation and comfort. The new 20-meter model Riva 68 ‘Diable embodies design innovation and, at the same time, love for tradition and detail, which are the hallmark of the brand today. One of the memorable features is the new hardtop with an elegant design, in which all technical components are hidden from prying eyes. It protects the central part of the deck: the dining area, the kitchen and the helm. Equally impressive is the sliding structure in the hardtop, which can be opened from several sides for maximum comfort while walking. The Riva 68 ‘Diable will be powered by two 1550 hp MAN V12s. in the standard version or with a pair of 1650 hp engines as an option.

The lower deck has a classic layout. The master stateroom is located at the widest part of the deck, on the port side there is a suite with two single beds and a VIP stateroom in the bow. Each cabin has its own bathroom, and they revolve around a common versatile space with a kitchen and a small lounge.

RIVA 76 ’PERSEO SUPER

It is an innovative successor to the model of the same name, which has earned high marks in terms of design, aesthetics and ergonomics. The Riva 76 ‘Perseo Super has a length of 23.25 meters and a deck width of 5.75 meters. Glazing of the hull and superstructure with an area of more than 40 m2 make the profile even more streamlined and emphasize the sporty character of the yacht. Mahogany and polished stainless steel details, which not only have a practical function, but also serve as a decoration for the exterior – a tribute to the original tradition of Riva.

The exterior features a glass roof with an opening section, allowing the lounge to be filled with light and fresh air. In the cockpit, the dining area can be easily converted into a spacious sunbathing area if required thanks to a table mechanism that lowers on telescopic rails.

The standard layout of the lower deck of the Riva 76 ‘Perseo Super is designed to accommodate 6 guests in three en-suite cabins with a separate kitchen. The saloon is also provided in the same layout, however, a fourth cabin can be placed instead.

PERSHING 6X

The Generation X series has been replenished with another model that reflects the most daring side of the brand, namely speed. The Pershing 6X will be able to develop a maximum of 48 knots with two MAN V12s of 1550 hp each.

At 18.94 meters long and 4.8 meters wide, the Pershing 6X brings together all of the shipyard’s advanced technology in a compact form factor. The model immediately catches the eye thanks to the aerodynamic profile and extensive glazing that floods the lower deck with natural light. Also on board was a spacious sunpad aft, a carbon and teak table in the dining area and a reclining chaise longue. The first Pershing 6X hull has a layout with three guest cabins – a master suite, a VIP in the bow and a guest suite to starboard.

FERRETTI YACHTS 1000

Almost 30 meters long, the FY 1000 is not only the flagship of the shipyard, but also the first Ferretti Yachts with a hull shape similar to that of a displacement yacht. Composite materials were used for its construction, and the superstructure and hardtop are completely made of carbon. The shipyard has fundamentally changed the approach to onboard layout with unprecedented designs and interior moods.

At the heart of the FY 1000 is the idea of unrivaled comfort, both outdoors and indoors. The latter, among other things, can be performed in completely different moods. Classic interior design uses soft, balanced color tones and subtle contrasts, while modern color schemes create bolder hues.

The FY 1000 will receive a pair of 2217 hp MTU 16V 2000 M86L engines. in the standard version, and the optional motorization assumes two 2638 hp engines.

WALLY WHY200

Wally is targeting the compact superyacht segment with the 27m WHY200. The designers were able to amazingly provide guests with more than 200 m2 of indoor spaces and 144 m2 of outdoor areas. The lower deck – depending on the chosen layout – can accommodate three or four double guest cabins.

The new WHY200 stands out not only for its ergonomics, but above all for its technical characteristics. This is Wally’s first hybrid yacht optimized for sea crossings in both displacement and semi-displacement styles. Simply put, she can be both a fast yacht and move with economical fuel consumption. Thanks to its unique hull and the latest generation of powertrain, the WHY200 reaches 23 knots.
