CL Yachts has started a new line of yacht, the X or Crossover, with its new flagship the CLX 96. The plumb bow is a design that has seemingly taken over the industry as it’s efficient from a handling characteristic as well as a design scheme providing more interior space. 

The Riviera 78 is a much-anticipated entry into the motor yacht market and it’s sending a clear message that the competition just got a lot more interesting. This is a yacht that breaks all the molds at Riviera and puts the builder on a solid foundation for the motor yacht industry. 

The Pearl 72 is the fourth of a series of upscale luxury yachts that was originally designed to fill the space between the company’s 62 and 80 models, but she quickly came into her own with some remarkably desirable features such as two master staterooms.  

The 63 is Dyna’s newest model. She fills a void in the fleet that had a gap between the 52 and 68 models. She’s made in the yard in Taiwan and what most differentiates this yacht from others in class is Dyna’s unwavering attention to detail. No half measures are seen anywhere throughout the yacht.

CL Yachts' “B” series is defined as a more traditional-looking yacht. These yachts won’t have the plumb bow or forward-raked windshields of an expedition yacht. Instead, they have the more classic and traditional lines that will never become out of date.

Sirena Yachts' goal with the 68 was to create an efficient cruiser with a wide range of speed parameters on a semi-displacement hull. Her capable hull form gives her long-range capability while optional engine choices increase the top end.

Fairline pulled all the stops when the design team went to work on the new Squadron 68 — the flagship of the builder’s 11-model fleet. The Squadron 68 has a flying bridge with three discrete entertaining areas and four accommodation options with three or four en suite staterooms. She is powered with twin CAT C-18s or C-32s for speed and reliability. 

The Kadey-Krogen 58 is a full-displacement yacht designed and built for long-range cruising at economical speeds and owner comfort. She is a semi-custom robust vessel designed to go most anywhere. She is powered by twin 160-hp John Deere diesel engines. With these engines, she has a range of more than 2,900 miles at 7.5 knots.

Docking control is simplified by twin “wing stations” to port and starboard on the aft deck which control the engines and bow and stern thrusters. She has large rudders and is remarkably responsive to the helm. An owner can pretty much design the layout. Her interior finish work is up to world-class motoryacht standards, and is ruggedly constructed.

The Fleming Yachts 78 is a long-range cruising yacht targeted at experienced owner-operators. Because her stem to transom measurement is under 80’ (24.38 m), most insurance companies will allow the owner to command this vessel, given appropriate experience.

With the 70 Luxury Power Cat, Aquila says it wants to enter the luxury yacht segment. She has premium features, appliances and appointments and is available with a galley up or down layout with up to five staterooms plus crew quarters. She’s powered by twin 1,000-hp Volvo Penta diesel inboards.

The new Power 67 is based on Fountaine Pajot’s Alegria 67 sailing cat. She’s designed for long-range cruising and at 10 knots, she can run for nearly 1,100 nautical miles. Her layout offers comfort to a boatload of guests with her 5+2 or 4+2 cabin layouts, all with ensuite heads. As for amenities, there are multiple gathering areas, places for sunning, ample deck space for lounges and even an optional two-person jacuzzi in the bow. 

The Ocean 63 is the first boat in Hunt Yachts’ new series. She’s a flying bridge motoryacht with a Downeast look and feel that will appeal to seasoned cruisers. The Ocean 63 has the proven deep-V bottom design that was pioneered by C. Raymond Hunt. She can spend a day entertaining friends close to home or slow down and take some close friends on an extended passage.

Riviera’s 6000 Sport Yacht Platinum Edition is targeted for the discerning, experienced cruiser who wants a bluewater express motoryacht that stands out from the crowd with her stunning paint treatments on the exterior and premium amenities on the inside.

CL Yachts is a division of the Cheoy Lee shipyards and focuses on yachts under 100’ (30.48 m). The yachts are further divided into two categories, A and B. The A-series is the more express series of yachts while the B class is the more traditional long-range cruising yachts. So, what we have here is the CL Yachts CLB72 – the 72’ (hull length) (21.95 m) version of the B series yacht.
