jacht Navigathor 30

DISCOVER NEW CLASS OF YACHTS

Timeless design, inimitable line, design which opposes with market trends. All this aura, created by the model NAVIGATHOR 30, is the interpretation of the modern yacht and the signature of Our yard.

Navigathor 30 is a new houseboat on 2 hulls. Its timeless design leads the eye along the flowing lines of the hull, presenting all its beauty. It delights and, at the same time, raises the desire for possession.

STAY CLOSER TO NATURE

Sit with your companion at the helm of Navigathor 30. Monuments, sounds and scents will bring you closer to nature thanks to the flybridge at the top of the deck. The 360 degree view will allow you to comfortably and safely control your journey. With open space you can admire the environment and feel more connected to it.

FEEL SAFE LIKE NEVER BEFORE

Imagine that on a sunny day you set out on your dream cruise. Weather changes cause huge waves. This often leads to difficult situations, which startle a helmsman on the water. Do not worry, this does not concern you. You can feel safe thanks to the 2-hull construction. The yacht is more stable in comparison to single-hull yachts and less susceptible to tilt due to lateral waves.

Discover Navigathor 30 from all sides

Imagine that it is how your new NAVIGATHOR 30 might look like. These are only preliminary visualizations. In reality it will make even bigger impression.

SEE OUR SPACE

We focused our attention on the interior’s functionality. Thanks to the placement of the cockpit (flybridge) on the outer part of the yacht, we have gained a spacious living space.

DISCOVER PRACTICAL SOLUTIONS

We were able to design a functional space thanks to the fact that the yacht is 3.2 m wide (at its full length). In the main living room there is a large sofa bed (measuring 210x120 cm) that will accommodate 2 adults. Height in the cabin is 2 meters – it guarantees freedom of movement. Large kitchen cabinets, a 150-liter CARGO refrigerator and a comfortable bathroom with a bathing area are the hallmarks of our yard.

SEE THE DECK

Leisure on the water involves spending time outdoors. For this purpose we have designed an open relaxation zone at the top of the yacht. The upper deck includes a comfortable mattress for 2 adults and seats in the bow of the yacht. Feel comfortable when sailing on NAVIGATHOR 30.

LEARN THE TECHNICAL DATA

SEE OUR HULLS

Our 2 hulls were designed in a way to ensure the least possible feeling of tilt in bad weather conditions. The construction is unique in its kind. In order to guarantee additional safety, the keels of the hulls were covered with 3 millimeter tee beams. You can feel safe in case you flow on something.

ASSESS THE QUALITY OF INSTALATIONS

We never save money on our customers. Their safety is the most important. Therefore, when designing electrical and hydraulic systems we have chosen the components of the highest quality. We do not use any substitutes, each element is carefully selected and compliant with regulations. The electrical system was designed in details in cooperation with Intelle. This guarantees the highest quality and energy security at every level.

DISCOVER THE FUNCTIONAL SPACE

Inspired by modern interior design, we have created a residential area of the yacht, which combines functionality and spontaneous energy expressed in unconventional shapes of equipment. We used all the space solely for the utility purposes. Feel like at home while discovering the benefits of our yacht.

ENTRANCE DOOR

Main living room (messa), kitchen (kaboose), prow cabins.

KOTNIZ sliding doors guarantee the comfort and safety of your yacht. They’re nearly 90cm wide. Now the communication between the messa (main living room) and the cockpit (outer part) is simple and convenient. In addition, we used 6mm thick tempered glass in gray, structural system of profiles with directly glued glass which improves the look.

We were able to design a functional space that will accommodate 6 people thanks to the fact that the yacht is 3.2m wide (at its full length). In the main living room there is a large sofa bed (measuring 210×120 cm) that will accommodate 2 adults. Height in the cabin is 2 meters – it guarantees freedom of movement.

We also gained additional space by locating the wheelhouse in the flybridge outside. We used this space to build a large kitchen (caboose). All cabinets were designed specifically for our yachts. They are very capacious and 60 cm deep. In addition, we have designed a large 150-liter refrigerator in the form of a pull-out CARGO cabinet.

2 prow cabins – each for two adults. They have independent roof windows (hatches) for safety and comfort of use. Carefully designed finishing elements are a trademark of cabins. Headrests, cabinets, lighting, USB connections, 230V are the elements that each cabin is equipped with.

A large, comfortable bathroom is the trademark of NAVIGATHOR 30. The specifically designed bathroom with separate toilet and bath parts will remind you of home. The toilet has a cabinet with a wash basin and the bath section has a separate shower.

The cockpit is equipped with a seating area for 6 people and a large, 70cm wide swimming platform.

The wheelhouse located in the upper part of the yacht. Was designed together with future NAVIGATHOR users. Each functional element was designed for the helmsman and the accompanying person.

FEEL THE TASTE OF DETAILS

Step inside and the special features of this yacht will draw your attention to details. Unique rounded element shapes, delicate lines – it’s what helps us give our clients more than standard yachts.

UNIQUE ELEMENT SHAPES

Composite countertops, grohe fittings, tampered glass.

Most of the NAVIGATHOR 30 elements were hand made. The unique shapes of the bathroom door or the sleeping cabin are already trademarks of our yard.

We used high quality composite countertops of SOLID SURFACE type. They are completely resistant to high temperatures, liquids (even most difficult to remove), germs, viruses. These countertops give huge design possibilities and have a 10-year warranty. It creates an aesthetic whole together with a ceramic hob that was used.

We use natural and modified veneers also known as restructured veneers. We choose products of different manufacturers while maintaining the principle of high quality. Thanks to the use of modern production technologies our realizations satisfy the needs of every client.

We use stain and water resistant fabrics. Fiber technology protects against dirt. You will easily remove ketchup, coffee or ink stains. Enjoy the comfort of clean surroundings every day.

GROHE fittings are an important part of our yachts’ interior. This guarantees the highest quality and reliability.

On the yacht we have used high quality tempered glass (6mm). Windshields are definitely more durable than typical plexiglass or polycarbonate solutions. They are more resistant and are not as easily scratched as the materials mentioned above. They improve general comfort.

CREATE YOUR OWN NAVIGATHOR 30

Yacht production is a unique event. It is often comparable to a house construction. The inspiration can come from anywhere. You know best how your future yacht should look like. If you want to do more than the standard look of NAVIGATHOR 30, we will cooperate with you at every construction stage. We will show the design drawings and give you information concerning materials which can be used during the construction.

CONTINUE YOUR JOURNEY

The first design work concerned our model NAVIGATHOR 26. We spent nearly two years to build and test the model. We tried to develop every element in the best way. Based on this experience and your opinions, we have decided to implement solutions which guarantee you much greater comfort. That’s why we have decided to implement a new larger flagship unit – NAVIGATHOR 30.

Poland: Europe’s quiet achiever, major innovator

• December 15, 2022

Poland remains Europe’s leading producer of outboard motorboats, many for international brands, yet the country is also a hotbed of innovation and ambition. This year alone, Sunreef has launched two sailing catamarans from its pioneering Eco series, Galeon has released three models ranging from a 50-knot outboard to an 83ft flagship, while Conrad launched its biggest luxury superyacht to date.

Galeon has been celebrating its 40 th anniversary in 2022

Marking four decades since it was founded in 1982 during Poland’s communist era, Galeon has been celebrating its 40th anniversary in 2022 with a bang.

One of the world’s leading mid-range luxury yacht builders, Galeon has about 1,600 staff working in Gdansk on 30-49ft models in its inland site in Straszyn and yachts 50ft upwards at its bigger site along the Martwa Wisla river, where it has its own marina.

Galeon’s flagship 800 Fly

This year’s new models from its two facilities in and around the north-coast city have included the 375 GTO, 440 Fly and long-awaited flagship 800 Fly, which was a world premiere at the Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show in late October.

The 375 GTO and 440 Fly had their global debuts at the Cannes Yachting Festival in September, although seven weeks earlier the former was unveiled for its Polish premiere at the third Polboat Yachting Festival in Gdynia, a nearby sister city to Gdansk. (The fourth Polboat Yachting Festival will be held from July 27-30, 2023).

Galeon’s 375 GTO

Galeon was again the leading exhibitor at the Polboat Yachting Festival, which was held at Marina Yacht Park and organised for the third year by Polboat (Polish Chamber of Marine Industry and Water Sports).

The builder displayed the 375 GTO alongside the 325 GTO, the first model of the brand’s Grand Touring Outboard series, and also showed a 400 Fly, 460 Fly and 680 Fly, a 425 HTS sport cruiser and a 510 Skydeck.

Galeon display at Polboat Yachting Festival

However, the 375 GTO was the star attraction, as the first example of the new GTO series growing in length. There was also extra interest because the unit on show was built for speed … serious speed.

Engine options on the 38-footer include triple 300hp or 400hp Mercury outboards, but if you really want to muscle up, you can upgrade further to twin 600hp Mercury V12 Verado outboards. This was the case on the second hull, chosen for the model’s Polish premiere.

Pawel Gorski, Galeon’s Business Development Manager, said the effect of these twin beasts was astonishing. “We almost touched 50 knots. We were basically at 49.5 knots,” he said. “It’s sharp, very stable but very fast, so you have to hold on when you’re turning at speed. It’s a really nice ride.”

BOATBUILDING FORCE Sunreef Yachts, which employs 2,000 staff across its two shipyards in Gdansk, displayed a 60 Power catamaran at the Gdynia show, but otherwise the models were typically smaller, more in keeping with the Central European country’s status as a world leader in the production of small outboard motorboats.

The 2022 Polboat Yachting Festival featured about 100 boats

Boasting a population of 38 million, Poland has 112 yacht builders employing 48,800 staff plus 121 boat accessory and marine equipment manufacturers with a further 6,780 employees, according to figures from Polboat.

Last year, the country’s production of 24,000 boats included 22,000 outboard motorboats up to 39ft, with small sailing boats making up two-thirds of the remaining 2,000, according to Polboat figures. Most are for foreign brands and 90-95 per cent are exported, whether it’s north to Norway, west to Germany, Netherlands and France, or across the Atlantic to the USA.

The Polboat Yachting Festival is held at Marina Yacht Park in Gdynia

Since its modern economy emerged post-communism, Poland has become home to production facilities for many leading international brands including several from yachting’s two biggest conglomerates – France’s Groupe Beneteau and USA’s Brunswick Group. In 1992, Jeanneau became one of the first foreign companies to build boats in the country.

Most yachts are built in four northern regions: Western Pomerania (Szczecin), Pomerania (Gdansk, Gdynia), Warmia-Masuria (Ostroda, Olecko, Gizycko) and Podlasie (Augustow) to the east.

Polish brands and Polish-built models dominate the Polboat Yachting Festival

An hour’s drive southeast of Gdansk, Groupe Beneteau has a huge facility in Ostroda that builds Beneteau and Jeanneau boats. In 2018, Groupe Beneteau added a second facility in Poland – and another brand – when it bought Delphia Yachts, one of the country’s biggest yacht builders and now focused on motor boats at its Olecko facility.

Brunswick brands like Sea Ray, Bayliner and Quicksilver are also built in Poland, while other foreign companies with boats built in the country include Germany’s Hanse, Denmark’s X-Yachts, Norway’s Windy and Askeladden, and Finland’s Axopar and Saxdor.

THIRD POLBOAT FESTIVAL International brands at this year’s Polboat Yachting Festival included the likes of Nimbus, Bayliner, Saxdor and Windy, but the show is a far bigger occasion for local builders such as Parker, Northman, Balt, Cobrey and emerging companies including D-Boat, Vulcan, Nautic and VTS.

Polboat Yachting Festival featured fellow local builders like Balt, Northman and Parker

Parker showed four models, Cobrey showed three including its 50 Fly, Vulcan presented its JP 47, Balt debuted its flagship 37 Grand, while the Northman 1200 was among other boats in the water.

In the mid-1980s, Parker entered the leisure boat business in Poland as the distributor for Mercury Marine then started building boats in the 1990s, initially focused on RIBs. Today, the company has about 1,000 staff split between building Parker boats up to 38ft and for foreign brands including Nimbus and Windy at its Model Art boatyard.

Cobrey, founded in 2004, showed three motor yachts including its 50 Fly and 42 Fly

Meanwhile, D-Boat co-founder Szymon Zielinski was proud to announce 16 sales to date – including four to the US – of the 37-knot Diamond 550, an impressive return since exhibiting the first hull at the show’s predecessor in Gdynia in 2019.

Back then, Zielinski was a first-time boatbuilder and part-time DJ, but is now fully focused on D-Boat, proudly making the step from start-up to production builder.

The four-day show featured regular water toy demos and trials

This year’s exhibition also offered lively watersports demos and a variety of toys including SeaDoo and Kawasaki water scooters, RIBs from Sportis, Airslide hovercraft, as well as Awake jetboards and Hobie kayaks presented by Passionautica. Mercedes-Benz BMG Goworowski was among the event’s luxury partners, while Marina Yacht Park owned by PHN Group was a strategic partner.

“Poland is one of the world’s best-performing exporters of boats and yachts, so it became obvious that we should have an exhibition like the Polboat Yachting Festival,” said Michal Bak, General Secretary of Polboat, whose representatives attended this year’s Cannes Yachting Festival and Monaco Yacht Show, before hosting a booth at Metstrade in Amsterdam in November.

“The third edition was a huge success. We see a lot of improvement compared to last year and have been receiving great feedback from exhibitors and visitors. This year, we brought in more luxury brands and international exhibitors, and truly believe the 2023 show will provide an even greater experience for visitors.”

LUXURY CATS FROM SUNREEF A Sunreef catamaran hosted the opening ceremony for the second year, with the 60 Power playing the role a year after Double Happiness, the Sunreef 80 sailing cat that was the star of the 2021 show.

The 60 Sunreef Power in front of the tented booths

Like Galeon, Sunreef has been hosting a notable anniversary this year, having been founded in the Gdansk Shipyard in 2002 by Francis Lapp (click for 20th anniversary feature) . The French entrepreneur, who has also held Polish citizenship since 2014, has overseen the company’s growth to become the world’s premier builder of large luxury catamarans, highlighted by the launch of the 100 Sunreef Power in late 2021.

As the company celebrates its 20th anniversary, Lapp reflected on why he chose to build in Poland, where he had already been working for a decade before building his first luxury sailing cat, the Sunreef 74 Che launched in 2003.

A 60 Sunreef Power hosts the opening ceremony led by Polboat President Sebastian Nietupski

“Poland has a lot of experience in boat building,” Lapp said. “When I started Sunreef Yachts, I was already established in Poland with my business. I knew the country’s potential and had no doubt that it was the right place to start building yachts.”

Sunreef currently employs about 2,000 staff across its Gdansk Shipyard site and its new 80,000sqm site further east along the Martwa Wisla river.

Fernando Alonso on the first Sunreef 80 Eco, which debuted in 2022

Over the summer, during a tour of the two shipyards, Sunreef was building 36 yachts simultaneously, a remarkable figure considering the best-selling models are the Sunreef 80 sailing cat and 80 Sunreef Power, while the smallest models are the Sunreef 50 and 60, and 60 Sunreef Power.

Furthermore, the complexity of models has increased with the launch of the Eco range, in which an advanced solar-panel ‘skin’ is integrated into the hull sides, superstructure, hard top roof and even the mast on sailing models.

The first Sunreef 60 Eco also launched in 2022

Other green tech on Eco models can include hydrogeneration, wind turbines, ultra-light lithium batteries, and sustainable materials used in the finish and décor or even superstructure. This year, Sunreef has launched the first 80 Eco and 60 Eco sailing models, as the builder works hard to keep up with demand.

“The Gdansk Shipyard has a great reputation and has access to many skilled workers, although finding enough workforce for both sites has been a challenge recently,” Lapp said. “That’s why we employ many workers from abroad and are on a constant search for more staff.”

SUPERYACHTS CONRAD Conrad Shipyard, named after Polish-British writer Joseph Conrad, was founded in Gdansk in 2003, a year after Sunreef. The brand was created as a luxury-yacht arm of the Marine Projects shipyard established in 1989 and today the companies have about 400 staff between them.

The 40m Viatoris, the first C133 by Conrad

Mikolaj Krol, son-in-law of the shipyard’s owner, is CEO of Conrad and has overseen the company’s up and downs for almost 20 years.

“I was green when I started, but my father-in-law had faith in me running the company. If I had known at that time how hard the work would be, I would never have done it,” laughed Krol, who was initially an architect. “Anyway, after many years of superhuman effort by everyone, I’m proud of where we are. We’ve outlasted some competitors elsewhere in Europe.”

There’s good reason for his optimism. Conrad’s business started with the 27m Bill Dixon-designed Escape S (now Chillin ) launched in 2005 and has included a hugely diverse range of custom motor and sailing yachts, refits and short-lived series.

Interior of Viatoris

The early years also included two stylish 15m tugboats developed with Polish designer Juliusz Strawinski, the jet-powered Capo series of aluminium motorboats, and the 55-knot SUC Docksta line of luxuriously finished patrol-boat-style vessels built for Middle East clients.

Later models included Lunar (2013), the 35m aluminium ketch motorsailer, and Bellkara (2016), a 28m aluminium sloop, while in 2014 the yard completed a refit of the classic 46m steel schooner Malcolm Miller launched in 1968.

However, it was the 40m Viatoris for a repeat client that put Conrad on the luxury superyacht map, especially following its world premiere at the 2018 Monaco Yacht Show.

The 44m Ace is the first C144S by Conrad

Featuring an exterior by UK-based firm Reymond Langton and naval architecture by Dutch studio Diana Yacht Design, the C133 model won multiple awards and inspired the upcoming C144S that has received not one but two orders.

Like the 393GT Viatoris , the C144S is designed by Reymond Langton and Diana Yacht Design but is bigger in every way, with an overall length of 44m, a beam of 8.9m and a volume of 494GT. The S is for ‘straight bow’, with the plumb bow adding extra volume for a yacht with an owner’s suite, four VIP guest cabins, four double cabins for crew and a captain’s cabin on the bridge.

Notably, the C144S is the first Conrad yacht to not feature interior design by Krol himself, with Italy’s m2atelier taking on the role. The first hull, Ace, launched in October (click for article) and was handed over to its Swiss owner in December, while the second hull sold to a French client is scheduled to launch in 2023.

“The C144S is like a big sister of the C133,” Krol said. “The first hull is for someone who liked Viatoris , but wanted a more modern silhouette, a plumb bow and more volume for crew. Both have timeless designs and I think both Viatoris and the C144S will still look great in years to come.”

After years of one-off superyachts, Conrad will mark its 20 th anniversary in 2023 with ongoing production of their biggest model to date while promoting the C133, C133S, C144S, C155 and other designs on the board.

“We’re now in a position to start building customised superyachts on a more regular production scale,” said Krol. “However, there’s a special spirit at Conrad because we’re not too big and every client can still discuss everything with me directly. I’m personally connected with each yacht – they’re like my babies.”

• 80 Sunreef Power Eco the most advanced electric yacht in the world

Published: 2023-05-31   Image Crédits : Sunreef Yachts

Sunreef Yachts, a Polish yacht builder, launched its first 100% electric catamaran in Gdansk, Poland. The 23.8 meter 80 Sunreef Power Eco was commissioned by an experienced family of eco-conscious yacht owners who are fascinated by sustainability.

This magnificent luxury catamaran has been customized to its owner's exact specifications and uses the latest eco-technology to achieve the highest levels of energy efficiency and sustainability.

The owner has commented in interviews that; "The design capability of the Sunreef yacht has allowed for significant input and choice on our part." He added, “My wife and I, along with our captain, designer and broker, worked directly with Sunreef throughout the entire project. While we've never designed and built a yacht, we've brought our style and ideas from our home and hospitality projects and enjoy learning about and shaping our maritime future home!”

The 80 Sunreef Power Eco is equipped with two 360 kilowatt motors and a 990 kilowatt hour battery pack. The Eco superyacht is equipped with Sunreef Yachts' revolutionary solar energy system. Approximately 2,152 square feet of solar panels have been integrated into the composite exterior and will generate up to 36kWp of clean energy used to power it or can be stored in batteries.

Thanks to innovative technology, the 80 Sunreef Power Eco provides unrivaled solar power for extended range and a clean cruising experience. “The climate impact of large motor yachts is significant. We take extensive measures to impact climate crises, therefore, we could only consider a motor yacht if it incorporated technologies that are rapidly growing in other sectors, such as solar energy and electric vehicles”, said the owner of Sunreef.

The interior of the catamaran, with layout and decoration according to the ideas and tastes of the owners, has 4 generous cabins to accommodate eight people in total luxury. Decor combines sleek contemporary furnishings with a subtle palette of neutral tones that complement the gleaming gold hull.

With an energy-saving air conditioning system and smart energy management, this electric yacht sets new standards in luxury and sustainability to be used in future eco-cruising yachts.
