Fossil-Free Yacht FUTURA // Vripack
Vripack unveiled fossil-free project FUTURA with regenerative blue diesel biofuel made of food waste from Finland.
Futura is a 66m hybrid yacht, powered with biofuel made of food waste. Even the battery packs are made of bio-based batteries made of plants, sand, and salt. Furthermore, the 100 % biodegradable battery bank is rechargeable by a kite that is connected to an electric winch to be released by a push on a button.
“That’s the beauty of naval architecture,” says co-creative director Marnix Hoekstra. “First and foremost, you should mimic nature in the sense that you use as little energy as possible when crossing through the waves. We were driven by that goal from the outset.”
Bart Bouwhuis – co-creative director at Vripack, says:
“What Futura offers owners is choice by approaching sustainability as a design challenge, we’re not waiting for owners to request this technology, we’re presenting them with a concept based on sustainable solutions that currently exist. The answers are out there; the supply is out there, owners just need to want it.”
Vripack designed the interior as a “split and merge” concept with mezzanine to have a loft-styled interior concept.
The hybrid propulsion of the steel/aluminum/glass yacht contains four Caterpillar C32 Acert diesel engines. FUTURA features the classifications of +100A1, SSC, YACHT(P) MONO, G6, (Malta Cross) LMC, UMS, SCM, and Green Passport.

Project CASTOR // Heesen Yachts
CASTOR has been launched at the Heesen Yachts facilities in Oss.
CASTOR belongs to Heesen Yachts’ 55m Steel Class with the Fast Displacement Hull Form by Van Oossanen Naval Architects. Although the shipyard follows the Dutch guidelines of physical distancing, Heesen Yachts launched the yacht on schedule.
“By halving the number of employees working in the shipyard at any one time by working in two shifts, we did not lose productivity and increased flexibility.”
Photo by Dick Holthuis
CASTOR accommodates up to twelve guests in six cabins. There is a VIP suite on the bridge deck, the rest of the layout is traditional with the master suite on the main deck forward, two double cabins and two twin cabins have been placed on the lower deck.
The cruising speed of the yacht is 13 knots with a range of 4,500 nautical miles, while the maximum speed is 15.5 knots.
Rivale 78 // Valerio Rivellini
Valerio Rivellini created a 24m modern classic sailing yacht.
The RIVALE 78 features classic lines like a long overhang aft that serves as access to the water with a fold-out ladder; even so, the yacht also has modern elements like a deckhouse made of carbon-fiber with skylights or a very eye-catching steering wheel without spokes. Furthermore, even mast and boom are of carbon-fiber. The whole design appears very clean with a flush deck.
Arksen 85 - Explorer Yacht with optional fractional ownership
The Arksen 85 is one of four yacht sizes with a focus on sustainable yachting to support a foundation and opportunity of fractional ownership.
The 26m explorer yacht has been designed by the naval architects of Humphreys Yacht Design, while the interior of the Arksen 85 comes from Design Unlimited.
To reduce the environmental impact of these motor yachts, the vessel has an efficient design. Even the building process has a focus on reducing the carbon footprint. The chosen materials can be recycled when the boat’s life comes to an end. The hybrid propulsion offers a range of 7,000 nautical miles at 8 knots and 4,000 nm at 10 knots. The top speed is 14 knots.
“Every Arksen vessel is fitted with a modular and flexible monitoring system to analyse the water quality continuously. These include a flow-through system, often seen on ferries, to automatically feedback data to institutions around the world to live track crucial water parameters.”
Interior
The standard layout has the master cabin on the lower deck, together with guest cabins. Furthermore, galley and saloon on the main deck. Layout can be changed with galley on the lower deck and master cabin on the main deck forward. The enclosed flybridge offers additional seatings and helm station.
Fractional Ownership
The fractional ownership, branded as Adventure Syndicate, offers to own a part of the yacht without the whole costs of the vessel. Owners can use the yacht 25 weeks per year and 13 weeks of commercial charter. They can also sell the ownership at any time.
Arksen has a calculation example. More on the website:
“Alice is from the UK and has chosen to join a European syndicate that is buying an Arksen 70. She has decided to buy two weeks of adventure on-board per year for her friends and family. For these two weeks of usage Alice will pay £485,000, spread over 18 months (which she may choose to finance), and will have 8% ownership of the vessel. For every year of membership to the syndicate, Alice will expect to pay approximately £32,600 to cover her share of the upkeep of the boat. The commercial charter of the vessel should keep this number down. These costs represent significantly less than half of the cost of chartering a vessel for the same period.
Alice expects to enjoy the benefits of flexible ownership for 10 years. At the end of this period, Alice will receive a share of the proceeds of the sale of the boat equal to her percentage of ownership. If she owns 8% and based on 54% depreciation over the period, she would expect to receive a little over £220,000. At this point, the net cost to Alice over 10 years will have been approximately £326,000 or £2,720 per month.”
Arksen Foundation
The non-profit Arksen Foundation offers a platform for research to identify new species and preservation of existing species. Moreover, to create media to understand the complexity and fragility of the ecosystem around.

50m Support Vessel // Echo Yachts
Australian shipyard Echo Yachts unveiled the 50m Project Echo – HSV Humanitarian Support Vessel with a catamaran hull, designed by Bannenberg & Rowell.
The 50m catamaran-hulled support vessel features naval architecture by Incat Crowther and has been made to compete with heavy seas. The layout of the support vessel is flexible to use for the owner’s own adventures or to support disaster reliefs in remote areas.
Dickie Bannenberg of Bannenberg & Rowell:
“There is a history of London / Western Australian collaboration in the Bannenberg studio of course, and we have been very pleased to continue that with Echo Yachts and Incat Crowther on this new design initiative.
Support Vessels are an interesting and growing segment of the market but not necessarily one populated with vessels which combine both form and function as we believe the Echo Yachts vessel does.
The catamaran platform offers stability, fuel efficient range and space – providing an ideal mother ship for adventure and humanitarian operations whenever the need might arise. It’s good looking and practical. Echo Yachts are able to offer many technical and yacht finish options to suit any need and it has been a pleasure working with them.”
Landing craft tender and helicopter to support land crews from support vessel ECHO
The open aft deck has a knuckle-boom crane with a capacity of 12 tonnes to move 10 feet container with medical goods and drinking water onto a 12m catamaran tender, designed by All-seas Design and the boatbuilder Vikal. To operate away from the coast, a helicopter can land on the aft deck. Furthermore, people can be evacuated to the vessel’s medial rooms.
Chris Blackwell of Echo Yachts:
“This new customizable design is offered at a lower price point than our previous Project Echo – ‘ASY’ Adventure Support Yacht model and sees the removal of the large flush-deck A-frame crane from the stern, yet remains very capable of launching and retrieving large watercraft and submersibles with its 12 tonne knuckle-boom crane. Our pricing, our 100% customizable design philosophy and timely delivery are further improved due to the low Australian Dollar and our immediate newbuild project capacity”.
Brett Crowther of Incat Crowther Naval Architects:
“Incat Crowther is pleased to support the development of the newly designed ‘Project Echo’ Humanitarian Support Vessel’. Working under Echo Yachts’ lead, and in conjunction with Bannenberg & Rowell for exterior styling, Incat Crowther brings our well-proven offshore catamaran hull form and engineering capability to underpin the concept perfectly.
Ideally suited to the specific operational requirements of this concept, our catamaran hull has a large and functional deck space with the ability to carry significant cargo and ancillary equipment, custom tenders, and other deck equipment, together with fuel and provisions for a four thousand mile operational range.
Together with its high deadweight capacity and exemplary propulsive efficiency, this Incat Crowther hull form has already been well proven in tough oceanic conditions, and is the benchmark solution in the commercial offshore oil and gas industry, where superior sea keeping, ruggedness and performance offshore are paramount.”
Luxury Water Taxi with Hybrid Propulsion // Nuvolari Lenard
Italian design studio Nuvolari Lenard created a luxurious water taxi for the channels of Venice, built by Cantieri Vizianello.
Carlo Nuvolari and Dan Lenard are known for their exciting designs of superyachts and yacht tenders. Now they created the water taxi THUNDER with a luxurious signature like the limousine tenders of megayachts but with the style of the classic Venetian water taxis. Moreover, the water taxi comes with hybrid propulsion to drive free of emissions in electric-only mode through the channels of Venice. The water taxis also drive in open waters to the airport where they can reach higher speeds with diesel engines so that the boat can recharge the batteries.
Protecting the heart of Venice
Carlo Nuvolari says:
“As Venetians, Dan and I feel a strong connection with the city and have experienced first-hand the damage that is being caused to its delicate structures, through air and noise pollution as well as physical erosion. We felt that it was crucial to address the problems facing our beautiful hometown, and that Nuvolari Lenard was well placed to lead the charge in finding a solution, through a unique project dedicated to helping Venice.”
Currently, Nuvolari Lenard discusses another prototype equipped with a hydrogen fuel cell propulsion for an Asian car manufacturer.
THUNDER seats up to 14 guests in a luxurious ambiance

RIBELLE // VITTERS // Malcolm McKeon // Rémi Tessier
RIBELLE is a 33m sailing yacht by Vitters, designed by Malcolm McKeon Yacht Design (exterior) and Rémi Tessier (interior).
RIBELLE is one of my favorite sailing yachts – a masterpiece inside and outside. The boat features a very modern, radical yet elegant exterior design with reverse bow and the stern with rounded teak deck elements that are also on other Malcolm McKeon designs like LIARA and MISSY. Furthermore, an eye-catching deck house with tinted windows that gives character to the clean deck design. Green Marine built the carbon-fiber hull of the 33m yacht in the UK, Vitters launched the completed boat in 2017. The owners wanted a comfortable cruising yacht but also a fast sailing yacht to compete in international superyacht regattas. Alongside the carbon hull, Harken delivered carbon-fiber winches – furthermore, there are lightweight materials like rails made of titanium.
Thanks to the self-tacking jib, RIBELLE can be sailed with a small crew in cruising mode. The crew can change the cruising sails with high-tech sails to transform into the racing mode.
The power management features a hybrid system with two lightweight generators and a massive lithium battery pack. The 90-tonnes yacht has a cruising speed of 10 knots and a maximum speed of 12 knots (under the engine).
The yacht is for sale with a price on request.
Warm and modern interior with Wintergarden
Award-winning designer Rémi Tessier created a modern interior design with warm colors. The glazed deck house establishes a kind of winter garden to enjoy dining under the sky, even in colder evenings and nights. The style is characterized by white leather and bleached teak wood.

Exclusive Center Console Boat Design // SFG Yacht Design
Franco Gianni of SFG Yacht Design unveiled a new fresh exclusive design of the center console boat called F18 with a length of 18 meters and inboard engines and the smaller F16 with outboard motors.
Italian yacht designer Franco Gianni with offices in Miami and Italy, uses the Corona lockdown phase in his Italian home studio to create some artworks. Here are the F18 and F16 – two stylish center console boats to cruise in comfort but also with high speeds and, of course, with style.
“The teak deck on this boat is a work of art in itself, using a combination of colors to match the boat and a fishbone layout to really make it pop. I had to be careful to not over design her. I figured that a couple key pieces should standout and be defining, the aft deck table and the dashboard, to say the least. These two pieces are carefully thought out to not only look great but also be functional at the same time. The dashboard is a custom, single piece of dual curved glass with a giant custom, multipurpose navigation screen hidden underneath”
F18 - 18m Version with inboard engines
The F18 has two MAN 1900 12-cylinder engines with 1,900 hp each, connected to surface drives. The engine type meets the TIER III regulations.
More hull weight instead of "paperweight"
“Instead of building an all carbon fiber, epoxy infused, super light boat as many custom yards would prefer, I’m going with a heavier hull with carbon and Kevlar reinforcements and then doing the deck and all components in carbon to keep the center of gravity low for better sea keeping capabilities, I want this boat to be a true offshore machine not an 18 meter paperweight.”
F16 - 16 meters with ouboard engines
The smaller sister is powered by four 627 hp outboard engines by Seven Marine. Instead of sunbeds and bathing platform, the boat has a daybed aft with view on a big screen to watch movies.
Dynamiq GTM 90 Klassen Edition

At a speed of 15 knots, the range extends to 900 nm. The bathing platform aft can host a Williams Jet Tender 505 that can be added in the configurator for €71,000. Moreover, a 5,5m x 5,5m inflatable FunAir pool can be stored to transform the stern into a beach club with a seawater area, protected by a net from the open water.
The price for the yacht starts at €7.500,000 and has a build time of 18 months.
Interior
The Dynamiq GTM 90 has a full-beam owners’ cabin that features a round bed on the lower deck. Moreover, three guest cabins and twos crew cabin for four people with separate ladderway and direct access to the engine room.
“The rich and sophisticated interior features a forward salon and a bar/galley area overlooking the aft beach club, which can remain open on sunny days or be closed when the evenings turn chilly to create almost a winter garden effect. Fold-down bulwarks and sliding glass doors help increase natural ventilation. Head heights are a generous 2.20m throughout the main deck (Dynamiq provides another option of the main deck layout where salon and dining area are united to form a larger space for groups of up to 16 people). A Bowers & Wilkins audio system delivers an incredible high-end sound experience throughout the yacht.”
