Craftsmanship Articles
Craftsmanship is poetry of the hands, a virtue well encompassed by the Dutch yard Van den Hoven. Annually, they only create a limited number of boats, all unique masterpieces, encompassing the heart of the builders into the soul of the boat. Their most recent marvel, the Van den Hoven Voyager 50, is no exception to this aspiration.
Beautifully showcased at the British Motor Yacht Show, the Voyager 50 enhances its appeal with a distinct aura of exclusivity. It is a product of meticulous attention to detail and commitment to perfection unparalleled by assembly line productions.
imbued with an allure and strength that promises longevity. Evoking the genius of Dutch naval architect René van der Velden, the Voyager 50 is more than a vessel—it’s a nautical delight, a home-away-from-home on the tides.
Signalizing a new maritime era, renowned Italian yacht builder Sanlorenzo has officially inked the contract for its latest 500EXP superyacht variant. This 47-metre luxury marvel, brimming with ‘standard-setting’ features not seen in its predecessors, has been procured by a Greek owner who boasts a seasoned seafaring background.
Deriving from its 460EXP sibling, this upgraded model showcases an extended aft deck capable of accommodating a helicopter, and a heightened capacity for housing an array of sea toys, including tenders up to nine metres long. Engineered under the genius of Francesco Paszkowski, this superyacht series imbues rugged sophistication. Each unit weighs just under 500 gross tonnes, defying traditional size thresholds for luxury yachts.
