This 36-foot power catamaran joins the 28- and 47-foot models in Aquila’s Molokai line. It’s designed with anglers in mind, starting with all-around visibility from the helm. The carbon-fiber hardtop can be outfitted with a tuna tower, and the pair of livewells that are visible aft in the image below come standard. The bow seating sits atop dry storage or an optional insulated cooler, there’s flip-down seating at the transom, and the console abaft the helm can be ordered with an optional grill and food-prep station, or with standard stowage and a bait station. Inside, there’s a cabin with a head for overnights. It can be air-conditioned.

It’s hard to know where the outdoors end and the onboard experience begins with this yacht, whose upper and main decks have sizable open-air spaces in addition to foldout platforms aft that add more direct contact with nature. Solar panels and Volvo Penta IPS pod drives help with energy generation and performance, with a reported top hop of 21 knots and an 18-knot cruise speed. Inside, accommodations are for 10 guests in five staterooms, with two cabins that sleep four crew. Gross tonnage is 131, for a feeling of spaciousness all around. There’s seating with a table high up and far forward with broad views.

Available power packages include twin Volvo Penta IPS800s or twin Volvo Penta IPS950s. Courtesy Invictus Yacht Invictus ST550 / The ST Range is Born

The Invictus ST550 is the first model in the builder’s ST range, with the S standing for space. Invictus is premiering this boat alongside the TT550, which is the new flagship model in the TT range. The ST model has protected interiors for year-round cruising in climates where the weather shifts, while the TT550 is more open for regions where cruising almost always happens under the sun. Both models are customizable with various materials, accessories and color schemes, and Invictus has added more upholstery options to what was available on previous models. Look for the ST550 with “spectrum blue” style this fall.

Numarine says maximum range with the 40MXP is an exploration-ready 6,000 nautical miles. Courtesy Numarine / Kerem Sanliman Numarine 40MXP / New Flagship of the XP Series

The M in the model name MXP means Mediterranean, reflecting a lifestyle that revolves around outdoor living and the yacht’s beach club. The 40MXP is longer than Numarine’s 37XP, and the doors leading inside to the salon are positioned farther forward. The result of these design adjustments is that the aft deck is significantly enlarged on the 40MXP, allowing owners and guests space to dine, sit and chat at the bar, hang out in the lounge area, or relax in the pool at the transom (which has a glass outer wall for great views). Accommodations are for as many as 12 guests in six staterooms, including a full-beam master on the main deck.

Power is a pair of 150 hp Yanmar 4LVs. Owners can also opt for twin 250 hp power plants. Courtesy Omikron Yachts Omikron OT-60 / Eastern Mediterranean Style

Omikron Yachts in Greece is offering a Club version and two Owner’s versions of the OT-60. The difference is on the lower deck. The Club version splits the master space forward into two separate staterooms. The Owner’s versions have two different setups for the master stateroom, one with an aft-facing berth on centerline and the other with a forward-facing berth to starboard. Owners can wake up just about anywhere they care to set a waypoint: At 8 knots, this yacht can reportedly cruise for 1,000 nautical miles with a fuel burn that’s less than a half gallon per hour. Draft is 2 feet, 10 inches, making it possible to get close to shore.

Maximum speed is reportedly 23 knots. At cruise speed, the builder says, range is 2,000 nautical miles. Courtesy Sanlorenzo Yachts Sanlorenzo SLX120 / Volvo Penta’s IPS Professional Platform

Sanlorenzo’s SLX120 is the first mega-yacht in the world with Volvo Penta’s IPS Professional Platform. This system uses twin 1,000 hp engines per pod, providing the performance of larger engines with a smaller footprint for reduced fuel consumption and lower emissions. An eco mode automatically adjusts engine power based on real-time demand. This model is also Sanlorenzo’s largest crossover yacht to date and the new flagship of the line, coming in at 270 gross tons. It is intended to combine the best elements of flybridge and explorer yachts, with features such as a 750-square-foot beach area and the glass-wall pool shown below.

Frers Naval Architecture drew the lines on the Sirena 58. Sirena’s in-house team updated them for the Sirena 60, with a plumb bow and an extended swim platform. Windows in the main salon are bigger, and the foredeck lounge has larger seating and a foldout table. Up on the flybridge, the bar now has a Corian top, the helm seats present a more modern look, and the sunpad is more comfortable with a headrest. Inside, there’s more interior volume that translates into things like the galley being 20 percent bigger with better stowage and an optional wine chiller. This yacht has three staterooms, including a full-beam master.

In 2021, Cantieri del Pardo announced the acquisition of VanDutch. Then, in 2023, Calzedonia Group acquired Cantieri del Pardo—with a promise of international growth and new models to come. Making its debut this autumn is the VanDutch 75, which evolves the brand’s design language to add contemporary Mediterranean flair. Exterior areas are now more practical and comfortable, with features such as custom-designed seats. There’s a carbon-fiber hardtop available with a low-profile vibe. The natural teak deck is offered with white caulking for a more contemporary style. Top speed, the builder says, is 40 knots.
