Nautor Julie-Marie
Arriving in Monaco fresh from the yard, Julie-Marie is
the seventh Swan 100 and the third 100 S model ("S" stands for semi-raised
salon) to come from Nautor. The Swan 100, which is also available in FD (flush
deck) and RS (raised salon) versions, has a clean and uncluttered appearance
thanks to a low superstructure and open deck. This sleek, 99-foot sailer remains
very customizable despite being one of the world’s largest series-produced
yachts. Julie-Marie was designed with a personalized deck layout to
provide additional seating areas facing aft. Nautor’s design team worked with
the owner to create the custom interior, which complements the German Frers
exterior. Her almost-plumb bow, sleek stern and broad bow mark her high
performance potential. www.nautorswan.com

Wally Y3K
 Wally’s new 100-foot Y3K (pictured) evolved from the
smaller Wally 94 Angel’s Share. The larger sloop is another expert
combination of German Frers lines and classic Wally style. Y3K builds
upon her predecessor’s performance with upgraded PBO fiber rigging and keel with
trim tab. Inside, from bow to stern, she accommodates guests in an owner’s
stateroom, two double cabins and one Pullman with bath. The aft salon with
dining table opens onto a "sea terrace" that acts as a second social area, below
which is a tender garage and large sunbathing pad. Also in the water in
Monte-Carlo will be 2006’s 24-meter Tango and the 29-meter 2005 launch
Open Season. www.wally.com (Click image to enlarge)Custom Line 97
 The Custom Line 97, like the company’s newer Navetta 26, is the
result of the collaboration between Ferretti Group Engineering and Zuccon
International. Featuring a number of new design solutions this time around, the
97-footer has a spacious master cabin forward complete with a chaise lounge to
starboard, enabling those aboard to recline as they watch the sea slip by.
Guests are housed belowdecks in two doubles and two twins. The flybridge offers
ample sunbathing room, and an outdoor grill and dining area provides alfresco
dining. The garage can house a 4.5-meter tender and a Jet Ski, and when open its
teak door operates as a platform for access to the sea. Twin MTU engines propel
the 97 at speeds of up to 29 knots and a 27-knot cruise. www.customline-yacht.com (Click image to enlarge)

Moonen Nilo
Bigger, lighter and faster than the 84-foot model that inspired
her, Nilo is Hull No. 1 in Moonen’s new Fast Yacht Series. The sporty
94-footer’s increased length expands the popular four-cabin layout of her
smaller counterpart, with roomier accommodations forward, an extended swim
platform, larger lazarette and a longer engine room for more powerful
engines—two high-performance Caterpillar C32s. René van der Velden is
responsible for the 94 Alu’s aerodynamic exterior; her round-bilge,
semi-displacement hull is from Stolk Marimecs; and her interior is by Art-Line.
Servogear provided her controllable-pitch propellers and custom-designed
rudders. Tank tests predicted a 27-knot top speed. www.moonen.com

Pershing 90
Last October this Ferretti Group company launched a new version
of its Pershing 90 catered to the American market. This version offers a new
layout that expands the VIP cabin and bathroom area to include a second
belowdecks dinette with a sofa and flat-screen TV. The 90’s superstructure,
based on her 115-foot sister, makes her easily identifiable as a Pershing. The
more compact 90 shares many other features with the company’s larger flagship,
including three windows on each side of the master cabin. Designer Fulvio De
Simoni worked with Pershing and the Ferretti design and engineering departments
to give the 90 a megayacht-level interior and feel. The 90 open model is fast,
topping out at 44 knots with two MTU 16V2000s paired to Arneson surface drives.

Custom Line Navetta 26
Custom Line premiered the new 26-meter model of its Navetta
line in January at Germany’s Düsseldorf boat show. Ferretti Group
Engineering teamed with Zuccon International to incorporate a modern design
while keeping an eye toward classic lines. The Navetta 26’s master cabin,
located forward on the main deck, ensures privacy while providing spacious
accommodations. The lower deck layout can be configured to offer three or four
cabins, and the customizable interior allows the owner to decorate to his taste.
The Navetta 26 comes equipped with Mitsubishi ARG stabilizers to help prevent
rolling while anchored. Two MAN V8 engines provide a top speed of 16 knots, and
with an optional MAN V10, the yacht can reach speeds of up to 17.5 knots.

Riva 85 Opera Super
The 2006 85 Opera Super first debuted at last year’s Cannes
boat show. The restyled 26-meter features an innovative flybridge with a large,
versatile space for lounging and a sun bed at the bow. An extra large window
added to the side windows affords more natural light belowdecks. Inside, Mauro
Micheli of Officina Italiana Design contrasts warm woods with dark-hued leather.
A complete reconfiguration of her crew cabins provided more space to
comfortably accommodate four. Exceptional performance can be expected from her
two 16-valve MTU engines, which grant the Opera Super speeds of up to 33.5 knots
and a range of 310 nautical miles when cruising at a 30-knot clip.
