Sea trials have been completed for the new yacht that marks the debut of Forte Yachts. The construction of the Forte 47 Gran Turismo is supported by a highly experienced team and aims to raise standards in the segment; the performance has confirmed the success of a project based on excellent design and uncompromising quality.
Power is not lacking in the Forte 47 Gran Turismo; the three powerful Mercury Verado V12 outboards with 600 HP allow it to reach the thrilling speed of 47 knots. Tests have confirmed that the naval architecture and engineering by Umberto Tagliavini have achieved the goal, finding an optimal balance between performance, comfort, and maneuverability.
“The acceleration is breathtaking, and the navigation is stable and responsive in a wide range of marine conditions,” said partner and technical manager Livio Franchini. “Beyond the simple numbers, this boat is a true pleasure to drive and has incredible presence on the water. We at Forte Yachts are excited about the team that helped us turn our nautical philosophy into reality. The vision of a distinctive design, refined details, and superyacht quality makes the Forte 47 Gran Turismo an exceptional boat.”
The striking appearance of the yacht is the work of designer Paolo Giordano, whose experience spans all nautical fields, from dinghies to superyachts. The designer immediately understood the brand’s values and transformed them into the yacht’s hull and deck lines, communicating power and simplicity at the same time.
The foldable terraces transform the cockpit into a 40-square-meter platform, creating a seamless connection with the sea. On the starboard side, both the helm seats and the deep lounge sofa at the stern are open to the sun and refreshing breeze. On the left side, the unit housing the sink and induction cooktop transforms into a true bar with space for stools on the terrace.
Access to the sea is also very simple, thanks to an electric gangway hidden in the transom that can extend the steps underwater (or to the dock). When it’s time to relax, the L-shaped sofa transforms into a cinema room for family or a group of friends. A large flat-screen TV is positioned behind the driver’s seat, with speakers carefully hidden from view. The refrigerator and ice maker integrated into the bar unit make drinks easily accessible, and the full-width hardtop provides excellent shelter.
Interiors designed by Paolo Giordano have created an oasis of peace and tranquility below deck, a space that can be configured at the owner’s discretion. Thanks to the hull construction entirely of aluminum, no internal support structure is needed, which means that creativity can be unleashed in the division of this space.
As expected from a highly customizable yacht, many elements of the Forte 47 can be adapted to the specific needs of the owner.
The timeless elegance of Riva meets the myth of Formula 1 in the heart of the Principality.
Riva, a symbol of beauty and Made in Italy style, was a partner of the “Cavallino Classic Monaco,” the new and exclusive edition of the international event dedicated to the Ferrari universe, held from April 23 to 26, 2026, in the heart of the Principality.
In the year of its 35th anniversary, the Cavallino Classic indeed inaugurated a new chapter in its history with the first Concorso d’Eleganza in Monaco, entirely dedicated to Ferrari Formula 1 single-seaters. The event took place at the Yacht Club de Monaco, where the cars were displayed along the Marina throughout the weekend, with direct access to the legendary circuit, home of the Grand Prix de Monaco Historique, visible from a privileged position at the Riva Aquarama Lounge, where guests and owners could experience exclusive moments overlooking the Marina and watch the adrenaline-fueled hot laps of the Ferrari single-seaters.
In this unique context, Riva was present with a splendid 1986 Aquarama Special, displayed at the Yacht Club de Monaco and restored by Riva Classiche, the brand’s division dedicated to the preservation of vintage boats. The iconic hull is also the first specimen to have obtained the Certificate of Authenticity issued by Riva Classiche, which certifies the full compliance of the boat with the original standards of the shipyard, guaranteeing its originality. The certification process, reserved for boats over 20 years old, takes place at the Sarnico shipyard, where rigorous technical and aesthetic checks are carried out, accompanied by dynamic tests in water. Certified according to RINA ISO 9001 standards, the process involves assigning a score that expresses the degree of authenticity of the boat and concludes with the delivery of an exclusive mahogany box containing the official documentation.
Another major highlight of the event, the largest Riva ever built to date, the majestic Riva 54 METRI, accompanied by a Riva 76’ Perseo Super and some of the most iconic yachts from other brands of the Ferretti Group: Custom Line Navetta 38, Custom Line Saetta 140’, wallywhy150, wallytender48, Ferretti Yachts INFYNITO 90, and Pershing GTX70, brought to Monaco by their respective owners for the event.
During the weekend, collectors and participants also had the opportunity to experience an exclusive driving experience on the Monaco circuit, thanks to the collaboration with the Automobile Club de Monaco, and hospitality moments at the Yacht Club. Among these was the Party Under the Stars by Riva, one of the most anticipated events of the occasion.
Riva provided a refined tender service between the Marina and the paddock of the Grand Prix Historique, aboard a Riva Iseo and, during the award ceremony of the Concorso d’Eleganza, awarded the Riva Steering Award to the Best of Show.
Riva – A brand of Ferretti Group
Founded in 1842 on the shores of Lake Iseo, Riva is today one of the most famous shipyards in the world. With over 180 years of history, its iconic boats have redefined modern boating: from classic wooden motorboats, like the Aquarama, “the boat” par excellence, capable of enchanting royals, celebrities, and protagonists of the international jet set, to fiberglass boats with aerodynamic lines and powerful engines, to full custom superyachts in steel and aluminum ranging from 50 to 90 meters.
In 2000, Riva became part of Ferretti Group, a world leader in the luxury boating sector. This partnership marked a new phase of growth, allowing the brand to expand its range and integrate advanced technologies and contemporary design solutions, while fully respecting its heritage. Riva now has three production sites: the historic shipyard in Sarnico, dedicated to the construction of yachts from 27 to 68 feet; the shipyard in La Spezia, inaugurated in 2004 and specialized in the production of Riva yachts from 76’ to 130’; and the Riva Superyachts Division, established in 2014 in Ancona, for the construction of steel boats from 50 to 90 meters in length, produced in the Ferretti Group Superyacht Yard in Ancona, one of the largest production facilities in Europe in the nautical sector.
In addition to boating, Riva expresses its identity through the Riva Brand Experience, which includes the collection of exclusive accessories from the Riva Boutique and the refined international lounges known as Riva Destination.

Arcadia Yachts confirms its leadership in the yacht segment between 80 and 100 feet with the sale of the seventh unit of Sherpa 80. The delivery, scheduled for spring 2027, adds to the other three units already ordered, bringing the order portfolio to nearly 30 million euros.
Sherpa 80, a highly successful model now in its seventh unit, embodies all the distinctive elements of Arcadia Yachts: spacious volumes, extremely low consumption, and a unique connection with the sea and the surrounding nature, fully in line with the company’s values of slow yachting.
The deliveries of another three units with lengths between 80 and 96 feet position the Arcadia brand among the most sought-after and iconic in the industry, thanks to its uniqueness and distinctiveness. Confirming the success of the latest offerings from the shipyard, such as A96new and A80new — the first models of the brand’s new direction, based on a vision of authentic and lasting well-being — in the coming years, the shipyard will continue its development with the launch of new models.
[modula id=”6760″]
There are also advanced negotiations for additional units towards strategic markets, such as the Asian market, geographically distant from the Mediterranean. A sign that confirms the dynamism generated by the recent innovation cycle of the Arcadia Yachts range and paves the way for a possible international expansion in areas that have so far been only marginally explored by the brand.
The Series that has brought Azimut international success since its inception births a new yacht, the Fly 62. More than a step forward, this new model represents a milestone in the evolution of flybridges, led by the unprecedented Beach Cockpit.
Avigliana, July 31st, 2024 – Looking at the history of motor yachting, it is impossible to think of the modern flybridge without thinking of Azimut. Today, the Shipyard’s path of innovation continues in the wake of the promise made to owners and enthusiasts: to offer, with each new model, uses of spaces and solutions that do not yet exist and that surprise. The latest innovation, launched on July 29th at the Avigliana production plant, is the Fly 62, not just the new model of one of Azimut’s most representative Series, but a milestone in the evolution of the segment.
This boat, that represents the purest concept of design know-how, harmonizes creative imagination with owners’ desires. Here, the desire is to draw ever closer to the sea, even, for the first time, on a flybridge designed for long stays on board. For a segment traditionally characterized by a more separate access area to the water, Azimut’s response, radical in its apparent simplicity, is to reinvent the cockpit and turn it towards the stern, creating a progressive descent towards the sea.
Thus, the Beach Cockpit was born. The transom opens outwards, and, with a synchronous movement, the sofa is lowered, eliminating all physical barriers, creating a large sunbathing area close to the water with a connection to the sea that is unique for a yacht in this segment. On board the Fly 62, you can have lunch facing the sea and you can live immersed in nature through spaces designed to accommodate various generations and activities. Some rest in the shade and some swim, others have an aperitif and the rest sunbathe – all while maintaining the sense of sharing those moments.
The exterior design is by Alberto Mancini, who redefines the canons of the category with inspiration from the most recent trends in the automotive world and the functional and aesthetic revolution of SUVs. The volumes of the Fly 62’s superstructure advance towards the bow, allowing the cockpit to be developed while maintaining and evolving the sporty stylistic figure of the Azimut Fly Series, recognized by lines that chase each other and increasingly clean surfaces. The new hardtop designed by Alberto Mancini stands out for its hyper-modern lines, which marry with the linearity of the horizontal development of the hull windows.
For the interiors, Azimut renews its collaboration with the architect Fabio Fantolino for his second project with the shipyard. Fantolino has created “open” spaces, free of visual obstacles, for a feeling of unrestricted closeness to the sea, and has interpreted the interior environments with a clean and fresh design, made up of a few essential details.
The Fly 62 is scheduled for a global debut at the Cannes Yachting Festival 2024, held from the 10th to the 15th of September.

Pictures show a boat that is quintessentially Greenline, with an elegant S-shaped sheerline, 360-degree glazing and a streamlined roof. This is a yacht designed to take on wind and sea in perfect confidence, bringing you comfortably and efficiently to your destination. All the brand’s fundamental DNA around smart, practical boating is here, rethought from first principles.
Contemporary design, inside and out
The Greenline 42 has a more contemporary finish to it, building on the successful collaboration with designer Marco Casali on the larger Greenline 58. He has brought a touch of Italian flair to the exterior look of the boat while improving the guest experience on board by borrowing features from the larger boats in the range, such as the foredeck lounge.
“New models are rare occurrences at Greenline Yachts, because we pride ourselves on the longevity of our designs,” said Global Business Director and Chief Experience Officer Alessandro Lorenzon. “We started by collecting feedback from our owners and, when we looked at their experiences, a few things became clear. They wanted more cockpit space for relaxing, higher speeds under power and a more modern design language. The new Greenline 42 supplies all that and more.”
Flexibility redefined
Working with the Greenline design team, Casali remodelled the cockpit to offer more space and flexibility than ever before. There is now room for a generous four-person table on the centreline of the boat with comfortable sofa seating on either side. Alternatively, Greenline has introduced options that include a drop-down aft platform and an open space for sunbathing and lounging.
Then, by using the existing space more effectively, the new boat gives the sense of being bigger. Slide down the windows either side of the galley and open the aft doors completely, and the interior part of the saloon effectively disappears, joining the cockpit in one big indoor-outdoor space. This way, you can be busy preparing drinks or a meal in the galley, without feeling cut off from those outside.
Galley equipment is naturally excellent, including an electric oven and double induction hob. Add extra fridge or freezer space as you want, and enjoy almost unlimited fresh water, thanks to the 400-litre tanks. As with every Greenline, that all-important storage is excellent, with hanging units above the worksurface, a line of cupboards along the starboard side as well as lockers under the floor. In many ways, it’s just looking cooking at home.
The power of comfort
Comfort and convenience on board is second-to-none, thanks to Greenline’s uniquepower management technology. Ten solar panels flush-mounted on the coachroof candeliver up to 4.5kW of energy in the heat of the day. The surplus is diverted into the 22kWh house battery bank, which can be upgradedwith additional batteriesto as muchas 66kWh if desired. In this way, Greenline boats can run on silent electric power for 48 hours or more, even with the powerful aircon turned right up.
Plentiful power underpins the comfort of life at anchor, but it can also be extended tothe propulsion system as well. Like every Greenline, the new 42 can be supplied with anefficient diesel-only powertrain using twin 250hp Yanmar engines. But the best resultscome from the economies of a true hybrid system
Hybrid performance
Greenline’s proprietary H-Drive 6G inserts powerful 23kW electric motors between the diesel engine and the propeller. These can manoeuvre the boat in silence and achieve speeds up to 6.5 knots. What is more, they will harvest wasted energy from the engines when the boat is operating in diesel mode, using it to recharge the batteries. This way, the batteries are full when you arrive at your destination, ready for another 48 hours-plus of silent hotel operation.
Impressively, the new Greenline 42 will manage a top speed under diesel power of 25 knots – some 3 knots faster than the Greenline 40, for the same sized engine. Quite simply put, the hull shape designed by naval architects at Micad is faster and more efficient, allowing you to do more with less. And that’s without sacrificing any of Greenline’s legendary seakindliness – in fact the new hull is even more stable!
Spacious, elegant interior
Accommodation in the 42 benefits from that little bit more volume compared to the existing Greenline 40. The boat is still fundamentally a two-cabin design, with a spacious owner’s cabin forward and a flexible twin/double for guests to port. But now there is the option of a second heads compartment, offering more privacy for the owner. The bathroom has been given a touch of luxury with its designer basin and shower fittings, while storage for clothes and other belongings is still class-leading.
Casali’s updating of the exterior lines has also found full expression with a new palette of contemporary interior styling. His focus has been on creating refined shapes and living spaces rather than using expensive, exotic materials. He has curated two different ‘feels’ around the woods that form the mainstay of the interior: ‘honey teak’ and ‘modern oak’. And the cabins also benefit from fantastic natural light that gives a sense of real volume.
“With the new Greenline 42, there was a tightrope to walk,” said Casali. “We wanted to rework the Greenline 40 without giving the sense that everything was ‘new’. There was a big focus on the forms you see around the boat, so we have avoided curved cabinetry in favour of more linear edges. This echoes the masculine profiles seen in the cut-away bulwarks and the coachroof.”
Originally, the idea had been to develop a worthy successor to the Greenline 40 – one of the longest-standing models in the range, with more 100s of boats sold since 2012. But as the project developed, Greenline owner and CEO Vladimir Zinchenko realised that they were not talking about a model replacement.
“With the feedback we gathered from our existing owners and commercial prospects, we began to see that the Greenline 40 still had a hugely loyal following,” Zinchenko said. “There remain many good reasons for people to buy that boat. Demand for a boat between the current 40 and 45, also incorporating the new ideas built into the Casali-designed Greenline 58, was something separate and distinct. So, I decided to add a new model rather than replace an established one.”
