Horizon Kamaxitha Drettmann, a company based in
the Balearic Islands that distributes the Elegance Yachts range built in Taiwan
by Horizon, presents the 39.6-meter Kamaxitha in Monaco. Kamaxitha
is the combined effort of naval architect and exterior stylist Tommaso Spadolini
and interior designer Claudia Drettmann. The 200-ton yacht features a
state-of-the-art cockpit, plush staterooms and a Jacuzzi on the flybridge. Power
comes from two optioned M91 MTU diesels. The first Horizon Premier 130+, Miss
Rose, is expected to join Kamaxitha on the water in Port Hercules.
This tri-deck motor yacht is the largest megayacht ever built in Taiwan. She
features a modern design from Florida-based stylist J.C. Espinosa.

Westport Oras Hull No. 1523 of Westport’s restyled 130
series generated great excitement and garnered several sales when it appeared at
last year’s Fort Lauderdale boat show. On the 39.6-meter Oras,
raised-panel mahogany with crotch veneers replaces the usual cherry interior. A
few walls found on the old 130 are also missing, adding interior light and
enhancing ocean views. Moving the skylounge dayhead behind the television opened
up the stairway and made space for an office/library, while creating a sightline
from the seating area to the bridge. Doing away with a kitchen doorway and wall
opened up the galley’s starboard side. Architectural hardware from SA Baxter
upgrades the previous push-pull button latches. A long list of premium standard
features enhances the cruising experience for guests when speeding along at a
brisk 28 knots. www.westportyachts.com Timmerman Kitty
The first Timmerman 40 oceangoing superyacht,
built for Russia’s Nakhimov Corporation, launched in late April. Formerly a
serial design, the 39.5-meter custom-built Kitty underwent 50 principal
changes to her construction and systems to satisfy her owner. The steel and
aluminum yacht, constructed and styled by Vripack, sports a sun deck atop a
light gray hull. Dutch designer René van der Velden created her modern-classic
interior in cooperation with the Cannes-based interior design company
Larvor. Four decks accommodate 10 to 12 guests in five cabins, while four
additional cabins provide sleeping quarters for a crew of eight. The DNV-classed
Kitty purrs across the Atlantic on two Caterpillar engines at speeds up
to 12.5 knots. www.timmerman-yachts.com (Click image to enlarge)

Sanlorenzo 40 Alloy The first hull of Sanlorenzo’s
new 40 Alloy series, 4H, will take home this year’s ShowBoats
International Award for Best New Series Under 40 Meters. Like 4H,
the second 40 Alloy on display at this year’s show features general concept,
exterior styling, interior layout and décor by Francesco Paszkowski. The
innovative 38.5-meter yacht, built by Sanlorenzo’s new Viareggio division,
marries the open-air lifestyle of a sailboat with the luxury and performance of
a motor yacht. To create this feel, four hydraulically operated terraces were
incorporated into the main-deck bulwarks—two off the salon and one each off the
master and the gym—connecting those on board with the sun and the sea. Twin
12V4000 M90 MTUs power this all-aluminum vessel to a 28-knot top speed for a
range of 800 nautical miles at a 25-knot cruise.

Hakvoort Perle
Bleue Well-known yachtsman Stanley Bey and his
wife scaled down when they moved from their 45-meter Hakvoort Campbell
Bay to the 38-meter Perle Bleue by the same Dutch builder. Winner of
this year’s ShowBoats International Award for Best Full-Displacement Motor Yacht
Under 50 Meters, Perle Bleue features an imaginative interior by Donald
Starkey that displays French Moderne living spaces and an Indochine-styled
master stateroom. The walls of the stunning main-deck dayhead reveal the artful
joining of a mirror and a slab of rare marble. The wood-paneled interior
accommodates eight guests, including generous room for the captain and crew.
Naval architecture by Diana Yacht Design meets Lloyd’s and MCA regulations.

 Maiora 38DP The new Maiora 38 from Italy’s Fipa Italiana
Yachts comes to Monaco straight from her debut in Cannes. The newest 38-meter
hull displays a clean profile and wide exterior areas. The upper deck’s
panoramic fly is equipped with a bar, barbecue and central folding table.
Another table with comfortable seating is found in the roomy cockpit. From here,
two side stairs lead down to the bathing platform. Her interior spaces,
featuring warm wengé furniture and light-colored leather sofas, resist
ostentation. Belowdecks, a spacious owner’s suite spans the yacht’s full beam.
Four additional staterooms are devoted to guests, while four fully equipped crew
cabins house crewmembers. The vessel’s centralized air-conditioning and
stabilization systems improve life on board. Twin 16V2000 M90 MTUs provide her
with a 32-knot top end. www.maiora.net (Click image to enlarge) Perini Navi P2 Launched last June, this 38-meter "gentleman’s
yacht" is the first of a new breed for the Italian company geared toward
performance achieved in comfort and safety. P2’s hull is constructed of
Sealium to provide greater mechanical strength and lessen corrosion, while
reducing the yacht’s overall weight. The 50-meter carbon-fiber mast has a
734-square-meter sail area, ensuring quick speeds and strong regatta finishes.
The vast cockpit and spacious deck salon create an inviting living space. The
cockpit can be fully protected or converted into a sunbathing area. Designer
Philippe Briand worked to maintain the refined comfort and style for which
Perini is known. One MAN engine gives this 155-ton world sailer a range of 1,700
nautical miles when cruising at 10 knots.

 Custom Line 112 Next As the flagship of Ferretti’s
Custom Line fleet, the 34-meter Next completes the line of planing hulls
alongside the 97. While retaining the line’s sleek design and powerful
performance, Next is an evolution of the Custom Line 112, with a restyled
superstructure and the addition of Ferretti’s trademark water-level windows. An
added hardtop, as used on the 97, provides extra shade up top. Spacious interior
areas, such as the 45-square-meter salon, are highlighted by American walnut and
bright color schemes. Custom Line clients can personalize the interior décor
from a wide variety of woods and fabrics. The result of yet another successful
collaboration between Zuccon International and Ferretti’s AYT engineering
division, the composite-construction vessel reaches 27 knots at half load from a
pair of 12V4000 M90 MTUs.
