From Eye-Catching Designs to Historic Overhauls: The Boating Chronicles of November 2025
Maritime aficionados looked on with bated breath in November 2025 as the nautical world unfolded an array of compelling stories. The paramount narrative was the grand delivery of Leviathan, a 111-metre superyacht from the acclaimed Dutch yard, Oceanco. Now at the service of the yard’s new owner, American video gaming titan Gabe Newell, Leviathan successfully completed sea trials off the coast of Stellendam, the Netherlands. Forged with intricate payloads of operational efficiency and crew wellbeing, the diesel-electric vessel represents a visionary collaboration between the owner, crew and builders.
As historic restorations write one chapter of this nautical journal, conceptual brilliance by Royal Huisman drafts another. The Dutch yard unveiled Sky, an 81-metre sailing yacht concept sporting none other than the world’s tallest Rondal carbon rig, standing proud at 93 metres. This high-reaching design, set to equal the height of the Statue of Liberty, comes to life via the ambitious collaboration of Malcolm McKeon Yacht Design and Winch Design.
Yachting events of November 2025 thus galvanized the maritime world with stories of pioneer pursuits, preservation efforts of maritime antiquity and audacious design concepts set to redefine the sailing landscape. Embracing such a diverse range of narratives, the yachting universe continues to navigate a course where heritage, innovation, and grandeur converge, ensuring the tides of excitement never cease for those enamored by the vast oceanic expanse.
