Each year, the prestigious Design & Innovation Awards celebrate excellence in naval architecture, groundbreaking styling, and advanced technology showcased in the most extraordinary superyachts delivered over the past 12 months. Recognized as a benchmark for innovation and design in the yachting industry, these awards highlight the craftsmanship and ingenuity that define modern luxury on the seas.

The finalists for the highly anticipated 2025 awards have now been unveiled, representing a collection of visionary vessels that push the boundaries of design and functionality. The winners will be announced during the Superyacht Design Festival, an exclusive gathering of industry leaders, designers, and yachting enthusiasts, held in the picturesque alpine town of Kitzbühel from February 2-4. This event promises to be a celebration of creativity and innovation, setting the stage for the future of superyacht design.

M | BOAT International Design & Innovation Awards in the Best Interior Design Category (499 GT – 40m+)!

M is the latest model from Sanlorenzo’s successful 500EXP series – and the only one currently available for purchase.

M was designed by Francesco Paszkowski, with interiors by Studio Indigo. She has a striking vivid blue hull, balanced against a crisp white superstructure. Accommodation is for 12 guests across five en-suite staterooms. The master suite aboard M is located on the main deck forward and features drop-down breakfast terraces that open out over the sea. She can also host 10 crew members.

M offers plenty of al fresco social space. She has a large sheltered sundeck complete with an observation lounge, a Jacuzzi, a bar, and plenty of sun loungers. The upper deck is just as casual, with a wet bar, and an extendable brunch table for five. Glass sliding doors provide direct access to the upper saloon.

The upper deck follows the same casual theme, with shaped furnishings and a crisp, neutral décor.

Delivered in August this year, M made her grand premiere at the Monaco Yacht Show, in which she turned heads. She is soon heading to the Caribbean and can consider charter requests for New Year from Dec 28th onwards.

As the latest in this successful explorer series, M combines sophisticated design with exceptional functionality. Her versatile aft deck provides not only additional living and storage space but also the exciting possibility of helicopter operations, making her a true go-anywhere superyacht.

Designed by Francesco Paszkowski with interiors by Studio Indigo, M boasts a striking dark grey hull complemented by a crisp Matterhorn-white superstructure. Inside, she accommodates up to 12 guests in five luxurious staterooms. Outdoor living is equally impressive, with a large, sheltered sundeck complete with an observation lounge, Jacuzzi, bar, and ample space to relax in the sun.

We are pleased to announce that the HANSE 588 has now joined the sales market with TWW Yachts.

This 2024 Hanse 588 is well suited for a singlehanded sailor of any ability looking to take to the waters with ease and comfort. With her fully electric in-mast mainsail furling, jib furling and winch systems, she really is a breeze and a pleasure to sail, the yacht can be fully controlled safely by one person from either of the helm stations!

After her commissioning in April 2024, she has enjoyed a quiet season in the Gocek area, all whilst receiving meticulous care by a professional captain on board who has helped iron out the usual post-delivery warranty items.

Selling due to upgrade, the owners will be sad to see her go after an enjoyable season onboard. The next owner will definitely see why!

TWW Yachts attends each year to stay up-to-date about the ever-evolving fleet of charter yachts in the region, meeting with captains and crew to develop a robust understanding of each vessel. With this knowledge, our brokers can provide the best insights for their charter clients.

Around 60 superyachts have already been confirmed, with a combined L.O.A. (Length Overall) close to 3 kilometres and an average length of 50 metres. Among the lineup are many charter favourites, including the 85.3-metre BOLD, 95-metre 60-metre CC SUMMER, COME TOGETHER, and 85.65-metre HBC.

The legendary 106.7-metre sailing yacht BLACK PEARL will also be on display, marking her entry to the charter market for the first time. Built by Oceanco and delivered in 2018, the iconic sailing yacht has been a closely guarded secret until now. ALFA NERO is also back on the market after being recently sold and unsanctioned. TWW Yachts will present three yachts this year, including the highly popular 39.3-metre S7.

Many activities and events are scheduled over the six days, including seminars, networking evenings, and the annual chef and tablescaping competition. This year’s theme for the Concours de Chef competition is the “Art of Charter,” where participating yacht chefs and crew will create a Michelin-standard immersive culinary experience. The competition involves three courses, with bonus points awarded for incorporating a “mystery ingredient” into at least one dish.

If there are any yachts on display you’d like TWW Yachts to inspect on your behalf, please don’t hesitate to reach out, and we’ll make all the arrangements. For more information about charter options this winter, our brokers are available to help you create the perfect itinerary.

Since its debut in 2018, the Abu Dhabi International Boat Show has grown year on year and now attracts around 35,000 visitors annually. It’s a premier event showcasing excellent boats, immersive experiences, and activities for the whole family.

Held under the patronage of His Highness Sheikh Hamdan bin Zayed Al Nahyan, this year’s event will feature more than 100 boats across the Waterfront, Marina, and 65,000 sqm of exhibition space in the Marina Hall. Over 700 brands from 53 countries will showcase everything from marine equipment to water toys.

A key factor in the Abu Dhabi International Boat Show’s success is its focus on experiences. Visitors can tour the most advanced research vessel in the Middle East, enjoy a magical parade of light and colour, embark on a VR journey, and much more.

Abu Dhabi is an emerging yachting hub, with spectacular coral reefs, lush mangrove forests, beautiful wetlands, and an abundance of incredible wildlife. The region, beloved by UAE residents, is fast becoming a major yachting destination—especially with Dubai just 60 nautical miles away.

Less than a day’s sailing from the capital lies the UAE’s largest coral reef, home to 40% of all coral species in the Arabian Gulf. Turtles, dugongs, sea snakes, and clownfish are commonly seen here. Nearby, the Marawah Marine Biosphere Reserve boasts 120km of pristine coastline and over ten islands, teeming with wildlife including the world’s second-largest dugong community, 70% of the UAE’s migratory birds, and more than 150 species of fish.

TWW Yachts offers a fleet of exceptional yachts available for charter in the Middle East, from the spectacular 162-metre Art Deco sailing yacht GOLDEN HORIZON, which can accommodate up to 247 guests, to the more intimate, adventure-ready Custom Line 28.4-metre motor yacht JYC. Contact us today to plan your yacht charter holiday in Abu Dhabi.

Here are three yachts not to be missed at this year’s event:

36m | REDUCE | SilverYachts | 2024

Australia’s SilverYachts, famed for its sleek and utilitarian motor yachts like the 85.3-metre BOLD and the 77-metre Silver Fast, shifted gears a few years ago to focus on 24-36m catamarans. SilverYachts has had tremendous success, and its new fleet is highly sought after.

For the Abu Dhabi International Boat Show, SilverYachts will present its largest multihull to date, the 36-metre REDUCE, which was delivered earlier this year. REDUCE, designed by Espen Øino International, offers accommodation for up to 10 guests and 8 crew. Her wide 13.6-metre beam and open-plan layout give the impression of being a floating villa. Key highlights include a swimming pool, a full-beam master suite with an ensuite bathroom, and private external deck space.

REDUCE is available for purchase. She is asking €21,700,000

23.87m | MARIE-JOSEPH | Sunreef Yachts | 2022

MARIE-JOSEPH, delivered in 2022, is the first yacht from the Sunreef 80 Eco series. The all-electric sailing catamaran is fitted with ultralight composite-integrated solar panels, embedded into her hull, superstructure, and bimini roof. MARIE-JOSEPH is also equipped with an advanced hydro-generation system to recover energy while under sail. The system generates around 15 kilowatts per hour while cruising above 7 knots.

Accommodation is for 12 guests. The owner’s suite, complete with a double bed, a pop-up TV, a sitting area, a vanity desk, and a large ensuite, is located in the starboard hull, alongside a VIP suite. The other two guest cabins are in the port hull. Despite being less than 24 metres in length, she offers an incredible amount of onboard space thanks to her 11.53-metre beam.

23m | Navetta 75 | Absolute | TBC

The Navetta 75, Absolute Yachts’ flagship, is surprisingly spacious. With huge windows, high ceilings, and a clever layout, the Navetta 75 leaves an impression that you’re on board a much larger yacht.

She offers accommodation for eight guests, with a full-beam owner’s suite, with private access from the main lounge and an en-suite bathroom, a VIP, a twin and a double cabin. Key highlights include an aft terrace cockpit with a glass rear parapet. She also has plenty of al fresco social areas to aft and forward.
