As the curtains fall on 2025, the marine world basks in the afterglow of yet another year of audacious superyacht design. Serving up an enticing menagerie of space-maximising catamarans, trailblazing sailing technologies, security-centric masterpieces, and futuristic conversions, this year witnessed another stride in the ceaseless march of nautical luxury and innovation.
Leading the line was EkoKat Yachts with its ground-breaking catamaran model. Unveiled at the prestigious 2025 Cannes Yachting Festival, the so-called ‘disruptive’ EkoKat model set itself apart as the world’s ‘first 60-foot superyacht’ despite its modest length of 18.9 metres. Barely contained within this impressive catamaran is the interior volume you’d usually associate with its 30-40-metre cousins. From an expansive flybridge to a solar-room powerhouse supplying a staggering 600 kW to the onboard batteries, the phrase ‘compact luxury’ takes on new meaning.
The prestigious world of yachting has a new star. Damen Yachting announced the sale of its latest unit from the distinguished Amels 60 series. This grandiose superyacht, referred to as hull 6008, was initially introduced to the public in July of 2021. As of now, this nautical marvel is being given its finishing touches, undergoing intricate outfitting works after successful sea trials earlier this autumn.
This luxurious vessel boasts an impressive exterior, designed by acclaimed designer Espen Øino, and encompassing geometric windows that have become a signature of the series. Adding to its esteemed lineage, the Amels 60 series includes noteworthy sisterships like ‘Come Together’, which was sold earlier this year, and the ‘Entourage’, recipient of a Neptune at the World Superyacht Awards.
