90' (27.4 m) Pershing 90
In keeping with Italian shipyard Pershing’s speed-demon philosophy, the new 90 open model is fast, topping out at 46 knots when lightly loaded.

Two large windows on each side of the superstructure give her the Posillipo Technema stamp and also provide guests with spectacular views.

77' (23.5 m) Rodriquez Yachts 800 WideBody
Rodriquez Yachts, the Italian yard that builds vessels from 50 to 200 feet in length, has created the feel of a much larger yacht in its new 800 WideBody model. Designer Francesco Paszkowski and Rodriquez staff member Pietro Camilli were the creative team behind this sporty yet comfortable yacht. They maximized her interior living space by eliminating the main-deck walkarounds and expanding the salon out to full-beam width. This open, relaxing space is trimmed in wengé wood and cream-colored leather. An owner’s suite and three guest staterooms lie below. The upper deck provides a much larger entertainment area than is typically found on a 77-footer capable of 30-knot speeds. www.brbyachts.com (Click image to enlarge)

Known for its high-tech engineering, Ocean Alexander uses carbon-fiber–infused composite and a vacuum-bag layup technique in building its new 74 motor yacht. The resulting boat is lightweight, yet tough enough for offshore passages. Although she is a production model, the Asian shipyard offers owners quite a bit of flexibility in her layout. The flybridge has a variety of seating options, and a dayhead is available. The main-deck salon and galley come in different configurations, and the owner’s suite is offered with his-and-hers heads or a single head and walk-in closet. The 74’s interior, richly trimmed in sakura wood, also holds two guest staterooms and a crew quarters. www.oceanalexander.com (Click image to enlarge)

76' (23 m) Moloka’i Strait 75 Hercules
The first model in the new Moloka’i Strait 75 series, Hercules is an expedition yacht designed for ocean voyages in all latitudes. Her steel displacement hull features double-bottom construction and five watertight compartments for ultimate safety. But while her exterior is rugged enough to take on punishing seas, her interior is finely finished to luxury yacht standards, with satin-varnished woodwork and granite countertops. Sponberg Yacht Design created her layout, which includes three large staterooms located amidships for comfort while in a seaway. Although crew quarters are included in her general arrangement, Hercules was designed to be operated by an experienced owner. www.molokaistrait.com (Click image to enlarge)

74' (22.6 m) Viking 74 Convertible
Sleek and swift, the 74 Convertible is the new queen of New Jersey shipyard Viking’s sportfishing fleet. Twin MTU 2000 M93 diesels give her a top end of 39 knots and a cruising speed of 33 knots. The business end of the boat is the huge, 218-square-foot teak-soled cockpit, which includes a wide mezzanine deck overlooking the action. The yacht’s interior features hand-finished high-gloss teak joinery. Four staterooms with ensuite heads are standard, including a separate crew cabin aft, but a five-stateroom layout is also available. The Viking 74’s flybridge features a custom-built helm pod with single-lever electronic controls for precision maneuvers. www.vikingyachts.com (Click image to enlarge)
