Italian brand Riva is debuting the new

Dolcevita 110 at the 2018 Monaco Yacht

Show in late September. A new fibreglass

flagship, the Dolcevita was overseen

by Officina Italiana Design and, at 33.5m,

is one of the largest boats ever built

by Riva. That means classically clean

Demand for explorer yachts – capable

of long-range voyages – is on the rise as

owners and charter clients look to travel

ever further afield. Italian superyacht

builder Sanlorenzo has created the

500Exp, a 47m explorer with an integral

helipad and a range of 4,500 miles, as

its flagship model. The 500Exp is unique

in its configuration, managing to fit in

the landing pad without compromising

deck amenities, which include a fold-out

sea terrace. The first 500Exp has been

named Ocean Dreamwalker III and is set

for a life cruising the remote waterways

of the Far East. sanlorenzoyacht.com

Electric power is the next big thing in nautical circles.

Superyachts aren’t quite ready for completely

silent running (although a few hybrids have been

launched), but smaller vessels are harnessing the

technology. The Q30 is by Q Yachts, the company of

Finnish innovator Janne Kjellman. The pure electric

design uses Kjellman’s own Oceanvolt system,

freeing up hull space for a sleek, minimal cabin below

deck. Q30, price on request, q-yachts.com

lines and interiors fit for the smartest

Milanese penthouse, complete with

glass ceilings in the living rooms. While

Riva is best known for its exquisite

speedboats, its larger yachts upsize the

chic sporting lines to create desirable

ocean-going beauties. riva-yacht.com
