 Burger 47 Hull 503 debuts as Burger Boat Company’s
largest yacht to date. Vripack designed the 46.6-meter megayacht as a refined
go-anywhere explorer. The custom tri-deck boasts 467 square meters inside and
386 square meters of exterior recreational space. Her "neo-classical" interior
motif is enriched by book-matched, raised-panel Honduras mahogany. The ultra-lux
king-size accommodations feature ensuite baths with heated floors. Her striking
stairways include the central interior staircase with a recessed mahogany
railing and a glass-enclosed exterior flydeck staircase. There is also a
wheelchair-friendly elevator that accesses all four levels. Twin Caterpillar
3058B engines grant this Burger-Vripack design a maximum speed of 15 knots and a
4,000-nm range. ABS-classed and MCA-compliant, she is ready to cruise the world.

Timmerman Yachts sent 46.5-meter Alexandra home in June, one year after
launching the Timmerman 47 at its Moscow shipyard. Vripack Yachting
International devised the yacht’s naval architecture and exterior styling, while
English studio Bannenberg Designs handled her interior. The four-deck vessel
sleeps 12 guests in five cabins, and there is additional space for a crew of 10.
With a range of 4,000 nautical miles from two 720-hp Caterpillar diesels when
cruising at 10.5 knots, this steel and aluminum yacht can travel around the
world on just five refuelings. Her reinforced hull even enables her to run
through broken ice. A Heinen & Hopman climate system ensures guest comfort
on board. www.timmermanyachts.com (Click image to enlarge)
 Wally Saudade An experienced yachtsman
commissioned the new Wally 148, Saudade, at the WallyEurope facility in
Fano, Italy. Developed from the smaller Wally 143 Esense, the 45-meter
performance sloop is the largest Wally yet. Her 150-ton displacement and lifting
keel combine to create an around-the-world vessel that is fast and spacious. The
low, aggressive deckhouse complements the yacht’s sleek lines. A permanent
bimini extends the structure. Up to 10 guests and six crewmembers may be
accommodated on board. Wally will also display the 30.5-meter Y3K, which
made an appearance at last year’s show. This smaller sloop evolved from the
Wally 94 Angel’s Share and is another expert combination of German Frers
lines and classic Wally styling. www.wally.com (Click image to enlarge)

Vantage series hull. Harle’s interior from Sinot Design Associates,
themed "Miami"—one of the semi-custom line’s four available finishes—features
classic art deco styling with contrasting wood paneling and clearly defined
spaces. The full-beam owner’s suite has a high central ceiling with a skylight.
There is room on the main deck for eight guests in four staterooms. Five additional cabins will house a crew of 10. Her twin 12V2000 M70 MTUs provide

Fitzroy Salperton The stunning 44-meter, ShowBoats
International Award-winning Salperton designed by Dubois Naval
Architects and Adam Lay Studio is also scheduled to make an appearance in
Monaco. She is the fourth Dubois design to be built at Fitzroy Yachts in New
Zealand. Both thrilling to sail and comfortable to live aboard, Salperton is characterized by a sloop rig design, sleek lines, a long
waterline and high-aspect-ratio sail plan. She draws 15 feet with her
daggerboard raised and 23 feet with it lowered. In addition to the owner’s
suite, Salperton has three guest staterooms finished in oak and walnut
joinery with wengé accents. Lloyd’s classed and MCA compliant, this 237-ton
aluminum yacht reaches a top speed of 14 knots assisted by an 875-hp C18
Caterpillar engine. www.duboisyachts.com Heesen 4400 Heesen Yachts’ semi-custom, semi-displacement
4400 series debuted last year with Sedation. Six hulls have sold
since the series’ launch. The third in the series and the latest hull,
Sibelle, splashed at the Heesen yard in April. Heesen will display one of
these 44-meter hulls in Monaco. Featuring in-house naval architecture and
exterior/interior design by Omega Architects, the 4400 is characterized by
smooth shapes and light-colored wood throughout. In addition to the full-beam
owner’s suite on the main deck, there are four lower-deck guest rooms and a
versatile skylounge that can serve as a media room or be converted into a VIP.
Three lower-deck cabins house a crew of six. Twin 16V4000 M90 MTUs give this
full-aluminum motor yacht a range of 3,200 nautical miles at 12 knots.

Mondomarine Panther 2 Mondomarine is set to premiere
its April launch, Panther 2, in Monaco. This 41.6-meter semi-displacement
motor yacht is the sistership to the original Panther launched in 2007.
While closely resembling her predecessor, exterior stylist Giorgio Vafiadis
added a few new elements, including the extended windows on the wide-body
area of the main deck. Her Luca Dini interior is where Panther 2
truly gains her identity, with a unique layout that includes a salon and owner’s
suite on the main deck, five lower-deck double guest cabins and a living room in
the open space of the upper deck. Punches of red accent the low, neutral-colored
furnishings. Two 2,255-hp engines power this light aluminum alloy yacht to a
cruising speed of 18 knots for a range of 3,000 nautical miles.
