J&J Design, in collaboration with the Beneteau design team and RND, sets a new standard for performance cruiser aesthetics and functionality with the delivery of the sleek, innovative deck for the First 60 Hull #1.

Leveraging decades of naval architecture expertise, J&J Design partners with Aquila Yachts to redefine the cruising sector. The all-new Aquila 50 Sail merges the luxury and innovation of power catamarans with the soul of a high-performance sailing vessel.

Barche a Motore celebrates 35 years with a personal selection of the standout boats seen and tested in 2025—and the Catana Group’s YOT 53 is on the list for its bold, modern concept and sea-facing lifestyle. Here’s why the YOT design (including our YOT 50 design DNA) is being recognized as a new benchmark in the 15-meter catamaran segment.

Elan Yachts presents the Elan SixtyFive, a 65-foot carbon-epoxy cruiser that blends racing pedigree with luxurious comfort and effortless shorthanded sailing. Designed by J&J Design and Guillaume Verdier, this groundbreaking yacht sets a new standard for speed, safety, and bluewater cruising.

CELEBRATING EXCELLENCE IN DESIGN

The BIG SEE Product & Fashion Design Awards honor innovative designs that redefine products and fashion to inspire creativity and enhance how we express, experience, and interact with the world.

Originally launched in South-East Europe, the BIG SEE Awards have expanded into a global platform recognizing outstanding achievements in product and fashion design.

This year the prize was awarded to the Wiszniewski W43 poweryacht.

The KORKYRA 650 Pro adds a wide front-loading platform for smoother boarding and simpler cargo handling—designed for divers, cyclists, and passengers with reduced mobility—and now proudly holds the CCIS Golden Award for innovation.

Luxury meets adventure! The Aquila 42 Coupé—in its latest inboard engine version—isn’t just another boat. It’s a floating escape that blends high style, smooth cruising, and smart innovation in one unforgettable package.

Aquila will expand from power into sailing catamarans with three new models—the 44ES, 50ES, and 63ES. Featuring hybrid propulsion and contemporary layouts, the yachts are set for a first public showing at Annapolis in 2025, followed by a Miami unveiling in 2026.
