The 27m Sirena 88 was designed by German Frers. This boat is the first three-story ship from Sirena Yachts.
According to the hull characteristics and design; the Sirena 88 is an evolution of her smaller sister the Sirena 64, a low resistance, sea kindly hull, that performs efficiently with a minimum amount of fuel consumption at all speed ranges, including high speed.
Accommodations space is very generous and includes the full width, main deck owner cabin with its own balcony to the sea, plus four en-suite cabins, one of them a very large VIP guest suite. Two formal dinner areas, one “al fresco” on the upper deck and a second on specially designated area on the main deck saloon are featured.
The fully fitted bridge is independent and separated from the rest of the interior accommodations with direct access to a double command on the upper deck. The foredeck it is fitted with special seating/sunbathing area on the foredeck fitted with an optional jacuzzi.
The key point for designers in creating the interior was the desire to make a warm and welcoming atmosphere by means of introducing neutral colors such as wood, fabrics and leather, to offer three alternative interiors, described as contrasting, warm and bright. Through all this, designers were able to balance the feeling of home with high-quality materials and soft carpets in natural colors.
Most of the interior furnitures are made by Sirena or its subcontractors, but there are also many well-known European brands, including Minotti, Tribù, Hermès, Loro Piana and Dornbracht.
For example, in the main cabin there is a full-sized window on both sides. This provides space for a small table or an alternative to a folding balcony. The mirror above the sinks in the owner’s bathroom can be raised by pressing a button to close the pool view, and through the front bulkhead there is access to a private swimming area on the front deck.
On the lower deck, the front VIP cabin has skylights and hulls. This space is finished in leather, gloss, dark oak and stainless steel. Each window has an opening section for natural ventilation.
Sirena 88 offers several build versions - the first with five cabins, with two double cabins and the second with a VIP cabin. Distributed over the entire width of the yacht, this cabin is isolated from the engine room by crew rooms, which include a small seating area. Designers also provides many other configurations.
According to Frers, the hull shape is effective in a wide range of boat speeds. The hull can reach speeds of up to 25 knots with two horizontal MAN V12s with a capacity of 1,550 hp, but it is also capable of speeds of up to nine knots, consuming just 5.3 liters per nautical mile. With an increased capacity of 16,500 liters, the 88 model has a transatlantic range of 3,100 nm.
The 58m superyacht Phi was caught during her departure from the Royal Huisman new build facility in Vollenhove. The shipyard has shared the latest picture. The yacht was launched in July. Her naval architecture is by Van Oossanen Naval Architects. Their specially developed Fast Displacement XL hull form allows this yacht to be long and sleek, yet still remain under the 500 GT mark. Developed and constructed below 500GT, Phi is by far the longest motoryacht in this category, based on current Classification rules. Her general concept, exterior design and interior layout were made by Cor D. Rover, although the interior was made by studio Lawson Robb.“Just take a look at our two current motoryacht projects: project 403, Phi, and project 406, a unique 52m sportfish yacht that will become the largest of its kind in the world. The individual aspirations and challenges of each of these projects were seen to be well outside the comfort zone by some yards. With the benefit of expert advice, each of these owners brought their highly distinctive individual projects to Royal Huisman, where fresh opportunities for creative problem-solving and innovation were enthusiastically welcomed. So what gives us so much confidence in Royal Huisman’s capability to build exceptional motoryachts? Here are two good examples of the ‘edge’ Royal Huisman has to offer. First, the expertise we have acquired from our unrivalled 55 years’ experience in aluminium construction. This enables us to maximise performance and efficiency through compact, lightweight and high strength engineering. Second, our ability to design and install complex operational systems in restricted volume hull areas provides the owner with more net space for amenities and further increases efficiency. Add to that a can-do mentality, seeking to optimize and enhance the ideas of the owner, their architects and designers, rather than trying to persuade them to scale back their ambitions to what the shipyard is accustomed to delivering. We think that’s a pretty good combination!”, says Jan Timmerman, Royal Huisman CEO. Owner’s Representative Guy Booth commented: “All of us involved in the creation of Phi feel a sense of privilege to have had the opportunity to contribute to this innovative project. The co-operation between the owner’s team, the architects, the designers and everyone at Royal Huisman has been exceptional. We can be justifiably proud of what we have achieved.”Phi is scheduled for delivery later this year. Royal Huisman is a Dutch shipyard established in 1884 in Ronduite, building and refitting custom luxury sailing and motor yachts at its shipyard in Vollenhove, the Netherlands.Credits: Tom van Oossanen/Royal Huisman

The 115 m project Enzo was launched by Lürssen in June. In September this bespoke superyacht started her sea trials. She was built for a repeat client. The project was managed and supervised by Moran Yacht & Ship. Renowned Nuvolari Lenard was responsible for the exterior and interior design. The three deck project Enzo was made for a family cruising and healthy environment on board, which include an attention for sports and wellness. As with all Lürssens, the yacht is equipped with state-of-the art technology and engineering systems. A heat recovery system in the generators heats the water for the pool, leading to reduced electrical power and emissions, while Dynamic Positioning enables electronic anchoring in sensitive and remote areas, protecting the seabed and allowing for safe mooring regardless of water depth.The shipyard has shared the short video of project Enzo during her sea trials by Charl van Rooy at Lürssen’s YouTube channel. Project Enzo will be delivered to her owner in November. Lürssen is a German shipyard with headquarters in Bremen-Vegesack and shipbuilding facilities in Lemwerder, Berne and Bremen-Aumund.
