CL Yachts, a brand born from the esteemed Chinese shipyard Cheoy Lee in 2017, has made waves by selling its first 29.5-metre CLX96 motor yacht. The luxury yacht, now christened ‘Reunion’, symbolises a revolutionary shift in yachting design and a nod to the new age of luxury sea travel.
The sale was brokered with David Johnson from Denison Yachting representing the buyer, while Panu Virtanen of CL Yachts represented the seller. ‘Reunion’ was delivered in 2022 and showcases a wealth of grandeur and superior sea capabilities.
A trailblazer in his field, the boat’s designer Jozeph Forakis is known for marrying functionality with artistic flair. In ‘Reunion’, his unique rugged profile combines with a commitment to versatility and high performance, all without compromising on style. It’s an effect that truly redefines the idea of a luxury motor yacht.

With a reputation for innovation and design, Invictus’s newest flagship offering, TT550, breaks away from the conventional with its trendsetting styling and luxurious detailing. The striking reverse bow and a sweeping carbon-fibre hardtop are just starters as the design amps up the charm with a long hull window mirroring an equally impressive bulwark cutaway.
Yet, what truly makes the Invictus TT550 a remarkable feat of design is its emphasis on creating a strong bond with the sea through its exterior layout. Over 40% of the boat is dedicated to an expansive aft beach club, boasting a spacious aft-facing dinette, a central sunbed with a reversible backrest, an open transom, dual drop-down terraces, and a submersible stern platform. This focus on ‘day spaces’ reinforces the underlying design philosophy of the boat - to help occupants connect with the sea.
