1 month ago | yachtsinternational.com | Wendy Mitman Clarke

NOAA’s National Weather Service today predicted another above-normal hurricane season in the Atlantic basin. At a news conference held in Jefferson Parish, Louisiana, marking 20 years since Hurricane Katrina, National Weather Service Director Ken Graham said forecasters expect 13 to 19 named storms, with six to 10 of those becoming hurricanes and three to five becoming Category 3, 4, or 5 hurricanes with winds more than 111 mph.
Luxury Redefined

The B.Now family of yachts is built on Benetti’s tried-and-tested platforms, but that doesn’t mean they’re all the same. Asani, the ninth hull in the 164-foot (49.9m) B.Now 50 series, has naval architecture by Pierluigi Ausonio and a streamlined three-deck exterior—and it’s the first hull with a twist on the interior layout. The main difference is a spacious main salon, thanks to an HVAC trunk being relocated from the formal dining area to outside of the bulwarks.
A True Explorer Yacht

Sales of explorer yachts have surged, driven by younger and more adventurous owners, but only some of these yachts are actually built for real long-distance cruising. Among them are Cantiere delle Marche’s tough, steel-hulled yachts under 500 gross tons.

Being adept at improvisation is a handy trait for a busy chef on one of the world’s most expensive charter yachts. “I always thought I’d be a musician,” says Sam Molyneux, head chef on the 400-foot (122-meter) Lürssen Kismet. “When I was young, I never considered cooking as a career.” Molyneux, 33, grew up in a small village not far from Bath in Wiltshire, U.K. By age 13, he was working as a dishwasher after school in a popular French bistro called La Flambé.

Producing exceptional design is not about reinventing the wheel, unless you’re Sophie Mallebranche. The French atelier’s expertise lies in crafting woven metal creations, taking materials that seem well known and turning them into works of art that are entirely new.
From the Editor: Is My Boat Thinking About Me Too?

Physicians have a knack for being hard to find when you need them, unless you have their mobile numbers to reach them on the golf course, at the beach house or on the ski slopes. There is one notable exception, though: They’re almost always available to talk about their boats. This has played out a number of times over the course of my career.
A New Era in Yacht Design for Multihulls

Seawolf X boasts several firsts. Rossinavi’s 140-foot (42.8-meter) aluminum catamaran is the Italian yard’s first multihull. It’s also a hybrid-electric yacht equipped with an artificial intelligence software system, developed in partnership with Videoworks, to enhance performance and the guest experience. “Her name is the Italian equivalent of a sea dog, someone who has a high appreciation for the sea,” says Federico Rossi, Rossinavi’s chief operating officer.

From the Masthead: Down to the Sea

Feb 18, 2025 | yachtsinternational.com | Kenny Wooton

Back in the days when I read a daily newspaper that was actually printed on paper, I started collecting obituaries. These weren’t the lengthy tomes penned by top-tier scribes celebrating the lives of vaunted celebrities, politicians and titans of business. These were personal reflections, typically written by grieving, stressed-out family members of ordinary folks who lived their lives without pomp or pretense.
Performance Artist: Chef Sean Connolly

South African chef Sean Connolly, at age 32, says he has hit his stride aboard the 154-foot (47-meter) explorer charter yacht King Benji. “I feel I am coming out of the shadows,” Connolly says. “I have discovered my own sense of self and choose now to make all of my work purposeful, and not have it be just another job.” It helps that King Benji has a galley layout that’s built for a star. Usually, a superyacht galley is separate from the guest area.
