Leo Messi becomes part of the Sunreef family with the order of a new ULTIMA 88, currently under construction at the company’s state-of-the-art shipyard in the United Arab Emirates.

Leo Messi

One of the most recognized athletes in the world has chosen a luxury catamaran Sunreef for his MIM Ocean fleet, based in the Balearic Islands, offering his guests an exclusive experience at sea, designed for moments away from prying eyes.

On board, four guest cabins create intimate and private spaces for family and friends, while the full-beam owner’s suite offers a luxurious and tranquil retreat. The signature of Sunreef Yachts, the Ocean Lounge, brings life closer to the water for swimming, water sports, and relaxing with uninterrupted ocean views.

A dedicated garage for watercraft keeps equipment within reach, while spacious outdoor lounge areas and a generous flybridge create spaces dedicated to leisure, fitness, and moments to be enjoyed under the open sky. Characterized by sleek architecture and twin 1,000 HP engines, Leo Messi’s ULTIMA 88 will offer a perfect combination of speed and maneuverability.

Leo Messi

The ULTIMA 88 reflects Sunreef Yachts‘ vision of contemporary life at sea: fluid, spacious, and deeply connected to the ocean. Every element is designed to make life simpler, intuitive, and open, allowing the yacht to transform into whatever the moment requires. For Francis Lapp, Founder and CEO of Sunreef Yachts, welcoming Leo Messi into the House of Sunreef reflects a shared vision of what true luxury means today.

Leo messi

Leo Messi embodies an extraordinary level of excellence, but what makes this new chapter particularly meaningful for us is what happens away from the spotlight. At Sunreef Yachts, we believe that true luxury is the freedom to choose how to spend your time, with the people who matter most. The sea offers us this freedom in its purest form. We are incredibly proud to welcome Leo Messi and his family to the House of Sunreef.

For Leo Messi, time spent at sea is already part of family life. His choice of the ULTIMA 88 transforms this instinct into a space of his own: a place to leave the coast behind, spend leisurely days, and decide together where to start the next day. There is a very special kind of privacy that only the sea can offer. A quiet anchorage. An open bridge before the day begins. Hours measured by where the family wants to take the next swim, rather than by a schedule.

It is a true pleasure to become part of the Sunreef family. My family and I have always loved spending time at sea whenever we have the chance. Sunreef yachts have the style and features that I truly appreciate, and they fit perfectly with what I am looking for. I can’t wait to try the ULTIMA 88 and enjoy it with my family.

Leo Messi now joins a distinguished group of owners and members of the House of Sunreef, alongside other world-class athletes.

Hot Lab, a Milanese studio founded in 2004, develops meticulous projects through style and design research, thanks to the collaboration of Antonio Romano, business manager, and Enrico Lumini, design manager. Their latest interior design project is dedicated to a superyacht: the 77.4-meter expedition vessel Aqua Lares. A unique icon in exploration circuits, Aqua Lares was previously known as Legend and has navigated routes in remote places such as Antarctica and the Svalbard, thanks to its high-strength Class 1 icebreaker hull.

Legend had previously undergone significant refit work at the Damen Ship Repair yards in the Netherlands; it was originally a Soviet icebreaker, transformed into a luxury explorer yacht in 2016 with a major reconstruction effort by Icon Yachts. For the design of the newly renovated interiors, Hot Lab worked closely with Aqua Expeditions’ Design Director, Birgit Galli Zugaro.

Hot Lab, a refit between preservation and innovation

Enrico Lumini, Co-founder and Design Director of Hot Lab: Aqua Lares has an extraordinary history and a very distinctive character, with elegant proportions and a timeless atmosphere that has developed over the decades. The brief did not ask to reinvent it, but rather to restore a sense of coherence to various areas that had been modified over time and no longer reflected the yacht’s original identity. Our goal was therefore to reconnect the renovated spaces with the overall aesthetic language of the vessel, creating a more harmonious experience throughout the yacht while introducing a refined contemporary touch. The main challenge was to find the right balance between preservation and innovation: respecting the yacht’s heritage and elevating the guest experience through updated materials, details, and comfort.

Aqua Lares is the world’s first superyacht to offer both single cabin bookings and private charters for expeditions that embrace both East Africa and the Norwegian Arctic. For guests aboard Aqua Lares, the African itinerary includes trips of 5, 9, 10, and 11 nights through the Seychelles, Tanzania, Aldabra Atoll, and Zanzibar. During trips in East Africa, passengers can discover extraordinary biodiversity hotspots and explore remote islands, including the African Banks, often inaccessible to larger vessels.

In the Arctic, expert-designed itineraries guide guests to discover the pristine and glacial nature of Svalbard, offering the chance to observe incredible spectacles such as polar bears, walruses, and imposing glaciers. More adventurous guests can take advantage of an array of equipment that includes five private tenders (three 6.5-meter Zodiacs and two 8.5-meter Rafnar Tenders), as well as paddleboards, mountain bikes, kayaks, and snorkeling and diving gear.

hot lab

What makes it particularly unique is the authenticity of the experience offered: guests can access some of the most remote destinations on Earth while enjoying warm, refined, and meticulously curated interiors. This combination of exploration and high-level hospitality is what truly sets Aqua Lares apart, marking a new chapter in a story that has lasted for over fifty years.

For the designers at Hot Lab, the opportunity to contribute to this story has been the most rewarding aspect of the project. Antonio Romano, Commercial and Marketing Director of the Viken Group and Co-founder of Hot Lab, adds:

We had the opportunity to contribute to the ongoing evolution of a vessel with an extraordinary history. The refit never aimed to create a dramatic impact; rather, it was about carefully enhancing the existing strengths of the yacht and ensuring that its interiors were in tune with the exceptional experiences offered to guests. We believe the result is a more cohesive, comfortable, and timeless environment, destined to best serve Aqua Lares and its guests for many years to come.

Pearl Yachts is preparing to join the Barcelona International Boat Show (October 14–18) with one of the most representative models in its lineup: the Pearl 63, which was officially inducted into the prestigious Hall of Fame with the YB 5 Star Trophy in 2025. The participation is being organized in collaboration with long-standing dealer Mallorca Marine Group and reaffirms the brand’s commitment to one of the Mediterranean’s most dynamic and strategically important yachting markets.

The show follows an exciting period for the shipyard, which recently celebrated the highly anticipated debut of the new Pearl 73 at the Cannes Yachting Festival and also announced the world premiere of the flagship Pearl 100 at the upcoming Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show.

Pearl 63: A Masterpiece of Design and Onboard Living

Designed by the acclaimed Dixon Yacht Design and featuring interiors curated by Kelly Hoppen Interiors, the Pearl 63 offers a unique blend of contemporary elegance, comfort and practicality, with intelligent use of space, an innovative layout and superyacht-inspired features.

Particularly noteworthy is the shipyard’s focus on creating welcoming spaces for socializing on board, especially in the aft cockpit. Two fold-down side balconies expand the usable deck space and provide two ideal platforms for diving straight into the sea.

The two dinette tables can be combined to create a single dining table. They are also height-adjustable and foldable: lowering them to seat level creates an expansive chaise longue, while folding down the backrests transforms the area into a large sunpad where guests can stretch out and relax.

The Pearl 63 also features a forward lounge area, easily accessible via well-protected side decks, complete with sunpads and a folding table.

For those seeking the perfect panoramic views, the flybridge offers sunpads, a seating area, a bar and a barbecue. An hardtop provides shade over the forward section of the flybridge, leaving the entire aft area open to the sky. This space is ideal not only for sunbathing but also for relaxing on the two L-shaped sofas positioned in the aft corners.

Below Deck

The Pearl 63 features four luxurious guest cabins, including a full-beam master suite with a private entrance. The suite includes generous closet space, with separate wardrobes for him and her, a sitting area with a table and armchairs beside the king-size bed, and, of course, an en-suite bathroom designed to evoke the relaxing atmosphere of a spa.

The remaining guests are accommodated in two mirror-image twin cabins amidships and a VIP cabin in the bow. Two bathrooms serve these cabins: one is exclusively dedicated to the VIP cabin, while the other, accessible from the hallway, is shared by the two twin cabins.

All interior spaces benefit from abundant natural light, thanks to large windows throughout the yacht.

In terms of propulsion, the standard configuration features two 800-hp Volvo Penta D13 engines paired with IPS1050 drives. Optional upgrades include the 900-hp D13 engines with IPS1200 drives and, at the top of the range, the 1,000-hp D13 engines with IPS1350 drives, delivering a top speed of 33 knots.

The growth we are witnessing in view of the 2027 edition, with a 52% increase in confirmed exhibitors compared to the same period last year, is a concrete sign of the market’s response and allows us to look to the future with great confidence,” comments Pier Paolo Ponchia, Managing Director of Easyfairs Italia. “The pace of registrations is leading to a rapid definition of exhibition spaces and confirms the growing relevance of Seaquip for the sector. Our goal is to connect its protagonists through a dialogue that continues throughout the year and increasingly looks to the international market.

seaquip 2027

The presence of the delegation from Seaquip at the SMM in Hamburg, at the Cannes Yachting Festival and at the Monaco Yacht Show, has allowed for strategic appointments to continue the dialogue with the international market, intercept its developments, and share the progress of Seaquip 2027. The registrations collected and the new confirmations confirm an edition that is increasingly representative of the sector.

Participation in the main industry fairs helps to consolidate Seaquip’s positioning as a B2B platform dedicated to components, accessories, and services for boating. After the success of the first edition, the event continues to engage the community with initiatives developed throughout the year, increasingly establishing itself as a reference point for the sector.

Santasevera 42 brings the brand’s language to a more compact dimension, while still maintaining a strong sporty component without sacrificing elegance and comfort, designed by Francesco Guida, founder of Santasevera, who has worked on the relationship between the hull shape, space organization, and the way of living on the boat.

“Clean and fluid lines outline a yacht that conveys dynamism even when stationary. Every mile is traveled with ease, every movement is precise: a smooth and safe navigation, in any condition. The spaces adapt naturally to the different moments of life on board, following one’s way of living the sea” emphasizes Francesco Guida.

Santasevera 42, Sport and HT


The Santasevera 42 is offered in two configurations, Sport and HT. In the first, the windshield and the large side windows, supported by inclined geometric pillars, envelop the helm and effectively protect the cockpit, while maintaining a strong sense of openness to the outside. The HT version introduces the hardtop and is intended for more Mediterranean use.

The helmsman sits on a large adjustable leather chair, which ensures comfort and support even during longer navigations. The console is ergonomic, with a large central display and two inclined panels with control buttons. The forward position of the driving station is one of the choices that determine the organization of the Santasevera 42. In addition to ensuring optimal visibility, it allows for freeing up space in the cockpit.

The deck of the Santasevera 42 has a walkaround layout: the two side walkways connect the central area to the bow and the respective sunbathing area, allowing for free movement.

The interiors of the Santasevera 42

The wide and rounded hull allows for maximizing the available volume for the owner’s cabin, organized with a king-size bed and storage spaces along the sides. The bathroom, with a separate shower box, is located immediately to the left of the three steps leading below deck, while a small sofa is placed to the right.

Product, service, and sustainability are the three categories chosen by the Paris Nautic Show for Cap Innovation 2026. Three areas that, beyond the competition, illustrate how the value of innovation is changing in a market where the purchasing decision is becoming longer and more selective.

Cap Innovation 2026

New or renewed models alone are no longer enough to support a purchasing decision. Especially when the market becomes more selective and details increasingly enter into the reasons for choice.

In France, between September 2025 and August 2026, sales of new boats decreased by 5.2%. This decline is accompanied by a change in buyer behavior: according to the Fédération des Industries Nautiques, consumers are paying more attention to spending and are taking longer to mature their purchasing decisions. The used market is declining less, while maintenance and refit show a greater ability to hold steady.

Cap Innovation 2026: market projection, not just simple categories

It is in this context that the three categories identified by the Paris Nautic Show for Cap Innovation 2026 gain significance: innovative product, innovative service, and eco-responsible innovation.

Three categories that broaden the very concept of innovation. The product is called to provide concrete answers to new needs, through unprecedented technologies but also significant improvements to existing solutions. The service, on the other hand, shifts the focus beyond the boat, towards new ways to access, use, and manage navigation. Finally, sustainability now permeates materials, production processes, consumption, propulsion, and the reduction of the impact of nautical activities.

Cap Innovation 2026

This is not an isolated signal. A few weeks ago, the Cannes Yachting Festival dedicated its Innovation Route to 47 projects selected from 120 applications. The two competitions are not connected organizationally and adopt different formulas, but they indicate a common direction: at the shows, innovation is becoming less of a collection of novelties and more of a tool to interpret the transformation of the sector.

Cap Innovation 2026 also takes a further step compared to the previous edition: the competition is open to those who do not exhibit at the Paris Nautic Show. Builders, equipment and engine manufacturers, service companies, start-ups, associations, and project holders can apply for free until October 30.

The finalists will be announced on November 16, and the three winners on November 26, during the show scheduled from November 25 to 29 at Paris-Le Bourget.

In a market where choosing takes more time, the question seems to shift: not just what is new, but what problem that novelty truly solves and what value it can generate over time.

Docking in a crowded marina, managing variable wind or current conditions, or approaching a particularly tight berth are among the operations that can challenge even the most experienced captains. It is precisely to simplify these operations that the Simrad® AutoCaptain™ Autonomous Boating System was created, the innovative automatic docking and maneuvering system that Saxdor Yachts has decided to integrate into its range of boats. The debut takes place at the International Boat Show in Genoa, where the Finnish manufacturer presented the new technology together with Navico Group.

Simrad AutoCaptain


Simrad AutoCaptain: how it works

The system offers a real-time 360-degree view of the surrounding environment, helping to drastically reduce stress at the helm and provide greater safety, control, and predictability during maneuvers.

Integrated directly into the boat’s design, AutoCaptain is exclusively compatible with advanced propulsion systems from Mercury Marine and features a dedicated App on Simrad® displays for a smooth and intuitive user experience.

“Simrad AutoCaptain perfectly aligns with our approach to technology on Saxdor boats: it’s not just about automating a task, but making the entire experience more intuitive and providing the captain with greater safety,” explains Ludvig Liljequist, Chief Technology Officer of Saxdor Yachts.

The shipyard also highlights a milestone: it is the first boat manufacturer outside the United States to integrate AutoCaptain into its range.

sistema autonomo ormeggio


A digital ecosystem designed around the boat

For Saxdor, AutoCaptain represents another piece of a larger project aimed at building a true digital ecosystem around the boat, made up of cutting-edge solutions that demonstrate the shipyard’s ongoing commitment to technological innovation.

Among these tools is Boat IQ, an artificial intelligence-based assistant integrated directly into the boat. Boat IQ works on the onboard multifunction displays and is connected in real-time to Saxdor AI, the knowledge platform developed in collaboration with Cadentia. At the helm, the owner can therefore make specific requests related to their boat without having to switch to a separate application.

Since its launch at the beginning of 2026, Saxdor AI has handled over 10,000 customer requests, engaged hundreds of boat owners, and has been adopted by over 40 dealers in 30 countries.

“Bringing this system directly to the helm alongside Saxdor and Navico represents an important step for the industry”, comments Tatu Heikkilä, CEO of Cadentia.

With MySaxdor App, Saxdor AI, Digital Showroom, Boat IQ, and now AutoCaptain, the Finnish manufacturer is thus building an increasingly connected range.

There are companies that tell their story and companies that are part of it, F.lli Razeto & Casareto Spa is certainly a company that is part of it, rooted in the territory of Sori, a picturesque fishing village located in the Ligurian Riviera of Levante, about 15 kilometers from Genoa, for over 100 years, designs and produces customizable components and accessories for cruise ships and yachts, gaining over the years a leadership position at the international level.

The company is an official supplier to the main shipyards Italian and international, its products are installed on both private vessels and large cruise and cargo ships, today despite its unbreakable bond with the territory, it is appreciated and known worldwide for its quality and innovation.

Strengths and Operational Sector

Among its most notable innovations are the LED Light Handles (OSSH – Open Safety Security Hardware) with integrated lighting in the handles for safety on board and emergency or home automation indication. With a flashing red light, it signals any alert states, while the strong white light is functional in case of blackout, to illuminate cabins and corridors.

Surfaces and handles treated with silver ion technologies for high-traffic environments or naval hygiene needs, leveraging the natural properties of silver ions applied to metal surfaces through nanotechnologies, eliminates and prevents the proliferation of bacteria, fungi, and viruses on the surface of the handles without altering the aesthetic yield or the resistance of the marine finish. Another innovation from F.lli Razeto & Casareto inspired by the scarab is the Freego handle, its design celebrates the remarkable navigation and orientation ability of this sacred insect, revered by the ancient Egyptians as a protective amulet.

F.lli Razeto & Casareto, haute serrurerie is laid bare

F.lli Razeto & Casareto Spa

The “haute serrurerie” is usually hidden inside doors and what appears on the outside is very little compared to what is concealed behind each single mechanism and how important the mechanics that allow it to function are, a mechanical universe of extraordinary complexity, where security is not a conceptual illusion, but a matter of millimetric tolerances. The sensation of the “mechanism,” the sharp and precise click, is the result of a meticulous study of friction and masses.

F.lli Razeto & Casareto Spa

In a world where appearance often prevails over substance, the high-security lock represents an opposite philosophy. Haute serrurerie celebrates silent protection: a protection that does not need to flaunt its strength on the outside, because it knows that true power resides in the architecture hidden behind the door panel. For this reason, F.lli Razeto & Casareto has decided to present during the Genoa Boat Show the handles stripped of their external dress made of design and material research and show the true soul of the internal mechanics.

Azimut returns to the Genoa Boat Show with four units making their debut in Italy: Fly 70, Seadeck 9, Magellano 27M, which inaugurates the third generation of the crossover of the seas, and the flagship Grande 44M.  

Azimut returns to the International Boat Show of Genoa where it has exhibited for the first time in Italy four new models that express the different souls of the brand, a fleet of 12 models in the water showcased the Azimut collections, ranging from Fly models, to the Magellano and Seadeck families, up to the Grande Series. 

AZIMUT FLY 70: The contemporary Flybridge

With the Italian preview of the Fly 70, Azimut enriches the exhibition at the Genoa Boat Show and showcases the expressive maturity of the flybridge, a segment that Azimut has placed at the center of the nautical imagination – determining its global success – and which continues to evolve without betraying its original vocation: to combine the sporty soul of the exteriors with the sophisticated architecture of the interiors to shape the demands of today. And  the Fly 70, more than ever, embodies the yacht as a meeting space, quality time, and contact with the sea.  

It is precisely by responding to these current values that Azimut’s Flybridge series reaffirms itself as a benchmark for the entire sector. Shaping the new generation is a pair of exceptional designers: Alberto Mancini for the exteriors and Fabio Fantolino for the interiors, already known for the acclaimed Fly 62, Fly 72, and Fly 82.  

AZIMUT SEADECK 9: The time to live at sea

Azimut Yachts

If writing about music is like “dancing with architecture,” describing the Seadeck 9 — the new model of Azimut’s Seadeck Series — is like trying to encapsulate the ocean itself in words. An impossible challenge, to which Azimut has responded by creating its most open vessel ever: if you cannot contain the sea, you can become part of it. 

This 26-meter yacht reinterprets the classic outdoor – indoor relationship in an immersive way, creating a bridge that completely merges with nature, embracing the very elements of the sea: light, sun, and water reflecting in the sparkling plunge pool at the stern. Imagining this space animated by adults chatting and the splashes of children, it is easy to understand how Seadeck elevates the concept of wellness into wholeness, transforming the experience into life. 

AZIMUT MAGELLANO 27M: The crossover   

Azimut Yachts

Magellano 27M opens the third chapter of a story that began in the early 2000s thanks to the vision of Paolo and Giovanna Vitelli. They were the first to have the courage to unite two worlds, the sense of freedom of the American trawler and the elegance of Italian design, giving rise to a completely new category: the crossover of the seas. With this new model, today, the third generation of the Magellano Series is born, combining the Nordic design of Jarkko Jämsén with the great Italian architecture of Michele De Lucchi and AMDL Circle. 

Magellano is therefore a sublimation of opposites, expressed both by a design capable of elegantly enveloping generous volumes intended for long voyages, and by the technology of the first Dual Mode hull. Characterized by a vertical bow and a double-chined hull, the highly efficient hull, a hybrid straddling displacement and planing, reduces consumption and mitigates the impact on waves compared to traditional hulls. An innovation designed to offer the pleasure of navigating at one’s own pace, from speed to tranquility, maintaining the freedom to go to sea even in the most challenging conditions. 

Azimut GRANDE 44M: the flagship

Azimut Yachts

The debut of the first unit of  Grande 44M marks the success of the strategy that over the years has led Azimut to achieve leadership in the segment of superyachts. Today, over two-thirds of the brand’s production value is represented by models over 24 meters, a sign of a business vision rewarded by the market and the trust of shipowners, supported by the expansion of the range and celebrated by the new Grande 44M, which debuts in the water with seven units already sold to end customers. The new flagship marks the culmination of Azimut’s journey in defining the contemporary superyacht, combining the evolution of the design language – signed by international design excellence – with continuous technological innovation.   

The use of carbon fiber, employed for over 50% of the surfaces of the vessel, is the keystone of the project: the reduction of the overall weight of the superstructure has allowed the introduction of a new four-deck architecture on a 44-meter yacht with a sporty character that disrupts the traditional layout. The fourth deck, which houses the steering gear and is perfectly integrated into the sleek profile designed by Alberto Mancini, frees the Upper Deck from any technical space, transforming it into an entire deck dedicated to the owner with private terraces overlooking the horizon. Here, at the bow, there is a Skylounge with enormous windows that break down visual boundaries and free the view to 180° towards the external lounge where, around the firepit, people gather to watch the sunset over the water.  

Azimut also showcases the Seadeck 7 equipped with the Volvo Penta IPS Hybrid system. This is the first installation of a project born from the shared vision between Azimut Yachts and Volvo Penta for a more conscious boating experience, capable of redefining the onboard experience through hybrid propulsion and the functionalities of silent mooring.

Eliminating the superfluous to leave space only for what is truly needed on board. This is the idea behind EX, the brand new range unveiled for the first time worldwide by Jeanneau.

The acronym stands for Elements and Crossplatform and encapsulates the shipyard’s desire to offer an essential vessel, designed to experience the sea in all its purity, without frills or complications, accessible to everyone, from the experienced sailor to anyone wanting to set sail for the pure pleasure of enjoying contact with the sea, without the limits and worries of a difficult-to-handle vessel or one solely focused on performance.

Jeanneau ex 34 rendering

Jeanneau EX 34: the flagship of the range

The Jeanneau EX 34 is the first model of the new lineup, offered in two versions – Hardtop and Cabin – which we had the pleasure of visiting during the recent Cannes Yachting Festival.

Born from the collaboration between the shipyard’s design department and Centkowski & Denert Design, both configurations share the same basic architecture, distributed over five areas: aft platforms, aft cockpit, central salon, command station, and bow lounge.

The beating heart of the vessel is the convertible salon with integrated kitchen: an open space but appropriately sheltered by the roof, perfect for cooking, sharing a meal, or simply enjoying a moment of relaxation.

Descending below deck, the welcome continues with two cabins and a separate bathroom, designed to offer true comfort even at night.

jeanneau ex 34 postazione comando

Jeanneau EX 34 Hardtop

The EX 34 Hardtop is the quintessence of freedom signed by EX: a masterpiece of design aimed at breaking down every barrier between those on board, the sea, and the horizon.

The aft cockpit, spectacular and practically enormous, is an explicit invitation to let the sun kiss you and touch the water with a simple gesture. And if the weather conditions should worsen, the very practical soft closure with quick assembly offers immediate shelter, preserving all the magic of an authentically open-air experience.

Jeanneau EX 34 Cabin

On board the EX 34 Cabin, the same extraordinary structure is enclosed in a true protected oasis that maintains a deep connection with the sea.

The rigid helm, entirely glazed and enhanced by an impressive sliding opening, guarantees total protection, breathtaking visibility, and overwhelming brightness.

With the possibility of integrating air conditioning or heating, the pleasure of navigation transcends every seasonal boundary, while the driving station elegantly transforms into a stylish lounge overlooking the waves.
