Draak traded her helideck for a tender deck and her beach club for a dive centre with a decompression chamber.

At 305 feet, she’s the largest yacht confirmed for the show and the only one on our list that isn’t new. Delivered in 2014, she’s been rebuilt by Oceanco as the companion to the 364-foot Leviathan, supporting scientific research and marine exploration.

The main deck saloon is now a crew mess and chef’s lab, and the decompression chamber is the first Oceanco has installed on a yacht.

Beach club or dive centre on a yacht this size: what’s your pick?

Princess has been building yachts for more than 60 years, and never one with outboards. Until the C48.

It’s also the first Princess with a stepped hull. With triple 600 hp Mercury V12s, the 49-foot C48 is projected to reach up to 53 knots, which Princess calls the fastest it has built.

The Open version is made for the day, with a hardtop, an aft sunpad, folding seats and an outdoor galley with a grill, plus a cabin below for a night aboard.

The C48 Open makes its world debut in Fort Lauderdale, and it’s only the third time Princess has held a world premiere in the US.

Would you swap a flybridge for 53 knots?

65 feet on paper, closer to 80 on the inside.

That’s the twin-hull advantage on the Prestige M8 EVO, which we stepped onboard at Cannes in September.

The biggest change from the M8 is up top, where the flybridge now spans the full width as an open-air lounge. Below, the galley is bigger and sits beside the helm, and the full-beam owner’s suite now has a walk-in wardrobe, an office and a relaxation area.

Fort Lauderdale is its US debut, and our reel from Cannes is in our feed.

Monohull or catamaran: what suits your style of boating?

On Absolute’s flagship Navetta 75, the stern is reserved for crew. On the new Navetta 66, it goes to a guest cabin just above sea level.

Its sofa turns into a double bed at the touch of a button, and the cabin sits right by the swim platform.

Four cabins sleep up to eight guests, with a full-beam owner’s suite forward and a large flybridge above with a wet bar. A glass bulwark keeps the water in view from the aft deck.

The 64-foot Navetta 66 made its world debut at Cannes in September and now makes its US debut in Fort Lauderdale, at Absolute’s first American show since its rebrand.

Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show 2026 is just around the corner, and several yachts are crossing the Atlantic from Cannes and Monaco to be there.

Five yachts attending this year have caught our eye, and over the next few posts we’ll show you why.

Starting off with the Pearl 100 Hybrid, making its world debut in Fort Lauderdale. At just under 100 feet, she’s the largest yacht Pearl has built and its first with hybrid propulsion.

Twin MAN diesels pair with electric motors, and the power pack is designed to run the yacht’s onboard systems without a generator. Kelly Hoppen’s new Monochrome interior wraps around five ensuite cabins.

We don’t work against the industry. We work within it, for the buyer.

With years on the brokerage side of the yachting world, we understand the dynamic and respect each role in it. Where buyers are left with gaps, we fill them with advocacy.

Here’s what good broker relationships look like from the buyer’s side.

14/10/2026

Did you know that 70% of the yachts we inspect for our clients are off-market?

If you’ve ever felt like you've seen every listing and nothing feels right, that's probably why. Some owners sell privately, to selected buyers through trusted networks, so the right yacht may never be advertised.

Access to them means more options, less competition, and a more discreet search.

Buying new means taking the steepest part of the drop in value. Buying brokerage means confirming the condition before you commit. Which one makes sense depends on the buyer.

Part two of two: swipe through how they compare on depreciation, condition and warranty, and where each one fits, with advice from Michael Donnan.

Survey reports don't come with a pass or fail.

They record a vessel's condition, and what the findings mean for your purchase is left for you to decide.

Normal wear sits alongside items affecting structure, steering, fuel or fire systems. A moisture reading is a pointer, not a verdict. And few findings come with a cost attached.

Our role is to translate every finding into plain terms for our clients: what it is, how serious it is and what it will cost to put right, so they can decide whether to go ahead, renegotiate or walk away.
