A very impressive 65sq m spa on the lower deck has an elliptical whirlpool, steam room, sauna, gym and beauty area, and the vessel accommodates a total of 12 guests in six well-appointed staterooms. heesenyachts.com The all-aluminium WiLder 60 has been designed inhouse by the Centro Stile Wider team to add a new category to its portfolio.

With spacious decks, she will also catch the eye with her versatile accommodation – up to four guest cabins and two VIP cabins that can transform in one larger VIP on the main deck. And thanks to the raised pilothouse, a dedicated owner’s deck, including a private breakfast nook and hot tub, confirms the very modern approach of layout that Dutch brand Feadship has produced. feadship.nl With a steel hull and aluminium superstructure, the 67m Calex is a customised project for a Californian owner. The renowned Italian studio Cassetta Yacht Design has developed a streamlined, well-proportioned exterior sheer line with large windows on the main deck. Spanning five decks – excluding the sundeck – precious marbles (white statuary and crema marfil marble) and fine woods (maple and American walnut), light and dark colour shades, ivorycoloured leathers are features throughout. A fitting way to mark the Italian shipyards 150th anniversary. benettiyachts.it PHOTOS PHOTOS CXXXXXXXXX CLOCKWISE FROM TOP: © HEESEN, © WIDER, JEFF BROWN, © FEADSHIP 64 CENTURION-MAGAZINE.COM
