1. Cloudbreak - @superyacht_styles
The 78-meter explorer Cloudbreak was listed among the largest superyachts on display at Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show, where she was spotted in all her glory on November 4.
Built by Abeking & Rasmussen in 2016, she owes her name to a big wave in Fiji that very few surfers dare defy. For a good reason, she is often described as a high-tech floating chalet, able to accommodate 12 guests in 6 cabins within her interior space, designed by Christian Liaigre. Her amenities, conceived to suit the lifestyle of a young and adventurous owner, include playing, airfield, comfort and party zones, as well as a research and sports center. Cloudbreak is a substantial go-anywhere vessel with a steel hull and aluminum superstructure.

Delivered in 2016, she is another collaboration between the Dutch yard and the London-based studio Eidsgaard Design, responsible for her interior styling. The focal point of her full-height atrium is the large free-standing staircase flanked by a glass wall. Vanish also boasts 2 touch-and-go helipads, an outdoor cinema and an array of water toys. As for the performance, she can reach a maximum speed of 17.5 knots and cruise at 12 knots.
3. Pacific - @ronraffety
Also known as Project Josi, Pacific is a custom built superyacht of 85.20 meters in length, delivered by Lurssen in 2010. Her interior was designed by the London-based studio Bannenberg & Rowell Design, while she features exterior styling by Argentinean architect German Frers. The imposing yacht belongs to Russian art collector and entrepreneur Leonid Mikhelson, who purchased her for $150 million.
Being quite active in oceans, she reportedly has been seen in places like the South of France, Italy, Australia, Indonesia, Costa Rica, Hawaii and Florida. Fort Lauderdale was the boat’s most recent port call, where she was snapped on November 8.

The 162-meter Eclipse was spotted last week in Gibraltar.
Built by Blohm+Voss – now part of Lurssen Group – for Russian billionaire Roman Abramovich in 2010, as the largest yacht in the world, she yielded her title in 2013 to the 180-meter Azzam. However, now she is still considered the second largest private yacht. Refitted in 2015, Eclipse boasts a 56-meter private owner's deck, a 16-meter swimming pool that can transform into open deck and can carry up to three helicopters at a time.
Before Gibraltar, Eclipse didn’t go unnoticed while cruising on the French Riviera, Fort Lauderdale, St Martin and in May this year also in Gibraltar.

Cantiere del Pardo has introduced the Grand Soleil 65 Performance, a performance-oriented evolution of its 20-meter sailing yacht series. Following the Long Cruise version, this model emphasizes speed and responsiveness while retaining onboard comfort. The yacht made its debut at the Palma International Boat Show in May.As part of the Plus Line for vessels over 18 meters, the 65 Performance involves owners in the customization process from initial design stages. Franco Corazza, project manager for the Plus Line, stated: "The 65-footer is the result of a totally Made-in-Italy design process that brings together a team of professionals representing Italian excellence in the yachting sector." Naval architecture was handled by Matteo Polli, structural design by Marco Lostuzzi, and layout by Nauta Design.Environmental considerations include sustainable teak, laminated glass insulation, linen-reinforced composites, water-based paints, and solar panels. The hull utilizes epoxy-infused biaxial fiberglass and carbon reinforcements, with construction processes meeting strict quality certifications.Matteo Polli's design adapts features from the larger Grand Soleil 72, including a V-shaped bow for reduced drag and improved light-wind performance. The sail plan positions the mast aft to maximize the foretriangle, with a self-tacking jib as standard for simplified handling. Underwater, an inverted T-keel and single rudder balance stability and maneuverability, offering draft options of 3.5 meters (standard), 3.0 meters (shallow), or telescopic configurations.Nauta Design optimized deck space and interior flow, lowering the saloon to align with cabin levels for improved continuity. The coachroof's tapered profile distinguishes it from the Long Cruise version's panoramic windows. Massimo Gino of Nauta Design noted: "Our challenge was to convey a sense of motion and energy while preserving comfort, functionality, and style."Interior materials are customizable, with owners selecting finishes from the shipyard’s portfolio. No pricing or delivery timelines were disclosed.Cantiere del Pardo was founded in 1973 in Italy. Pardo Yachts, the brand of Cantiere del Pardo dedicated to powerboats, was born in 2016.
