SAY Carbon Yachts is among the very few shipyards that have truly leveraged the full potential of Carbon Fiber Yacht construction, and it has recently introduced its new flagship model, the SAY 52, marking a significant step forward in high-performance yacht design.

Yacht Pro Hub was born with an ambition that is both bold and practical: helping owners develop a deep understanding of their boat, guiding them not only through technical management but also towards genuine awareness of the craft they sail.

On an increasingly digitalised vessel, the SIEL flowmeter becomes much more than a measuring instrument: it is a sensor capable of providing valuable information for a more efficient, responsible and sustainable management of onboard water resources.

Nautech spoke to AkzoNobel ahead of this year’s Metstrade about how complete, engineered coatings systems have become an integral part of composite yacht construction.

Sensors, control units, communication buses and diagnostics illustrate EsiWelma’s evolution towards a new generation of on-board electronic systems.

The Finnish company Mirka advocates spending more time on surface preparation using a wider grit sequence and dust-free sanding, reducing the polishing needed afterwards.

After appearances at several international shows, Maxim Yachts showcases the Comfort version of its 13-m walkaround at the Palma International Boat Show, bringing the model to its Spanish home waters.

In the world of luxury yachting, the best technology is that which seamlessly integrates into the vessel’s aesthetic. NXAnyButton has been developed with this objective: to provide immediate, elegant, and intuitive Yacht Control of the onboard environment, reducing user interaction to a single, simple gesture.

Industrial expansion, range development and a new flagship: Cantiere del Pardo’s sailing strategy takes shape with the Grand Soleil Plus 80.

Acoustic comfort on board has become an increasingly central requirement in contemporary yacht design. Whether underway or at anchor, every component contributes to overall noise levels: diesel engines, generators, bow thrusters, air conditioning systems, and structural vibrations from bulkheads and decks.
