SHERIDAN, WYOMING – March 4, 2026 – Custom Line has unveiled the Navetta 35, a new made-to-measure motor yacht designed to make cruising feel calmer, brighter, and more comfortable—especially for people who love long days on the water but don’t want to feel boxed in. The first unit is currently under construction at the Ferretti Group Superyacht Yard in Ancona, and the concept leans heavily into wide open spaces, natural light, and a strong connection between inside and outside living. In practical terms, this is about how life onboard actually feels: easier movement, more privacy when you want it, and more “together” areas when you don’t.

SHERIDAN, WYOMING – March 4, 2026 – CRN is bringing its recently delivered superyacht M/Y AMOR À VIDA to the Palm Beach International Boat Show, marking an American debut that blends high-end design with a clear shift toward quieter, more efficient cruising. The yacht will be shown from March 25 to 29, and it’s positioned as a major milestone for the Italian shipyard because it is the first CRN superyacht fitted with a hybrid propulsion system. For everyday readers, this matters because “hybrid” on a yacht is not just a technical badge—it’s about smoother time on the water, less noise at anchor, and a more relaxed onboard atmosphere that feels closer to a private floating residence than a roaring machine.

SHERIDAN, WYOMING – December 27, 2025 – Ferretti Yachts has launched the first unit of its refreshed 720 flybridge yacht, built at the brand’s new Ravenna production site—and the very first yacht off the line is destined for the American market.

A New Chapter From Ravenna, Built For Real Life On The Water

The first Ferretti Yachts 720 in this newly redesigned version was launched in November at the Ferretti Group shipyard in Ravenna, a modern facility spanning 100,000 square metres. That detail matters because a production site isn’t just a factory—it’s where a brand’s priorities show up in fiberglass, glass, and finish. In this case, the message is clear: the 720 is being shaped around comfort, smarter space, and that calm, settled feeling of being “at home,” even when you’re miles from shore.

SHERIDAN, WYOMING – December 27, 2025 – If you’ve ever dreamed of a boat that feels like a tailored suit and a summer memory at the same time, Riva’s newest limited edition is aimed squarely at that feeling.

A Collector’s Edition Built to Feel Timeless

Riva Cento is a special limited run of just twelve open yachts, created to celebrate the Sarnico brand’s unmistakable style while giving it a sharper, more contemporary edge. At 11.88 meters long with a 3.50-meter beam, it’s sized for day-making adventures—but also designed to make you want to stay out longer than planned. Think late-afternoon departures, golden-hour anchoring, and that quiet satisfaction that comes from owning something intentionally rare.

SHERIDAN, WYOMING – December 18, 2025 – If you’ve ever walked a boat show and thought, “It looks amazing… but how does it feel at sea?”, Naples is about to offer a very different kind of answer. The Napoli Boat Show (NBS) will debut March 18–22, 2026 at Marina di Stabia in Castellammare di Stabia (NA)—with a format built around one simple idea: boats shouldn’t just be displayed, they should be ready to sail.

A new storyteller for an iconic Italian brand

For fans, Alfa Romeo is more than a badge – it’s an emotional mix of passion, performance and unmistakable Italian flair. With Eugenio Franzetti stepping into the marketing lead role, the brand is clearly doubling down on that identity. Reporting directly to Alfa Romeo CEO and Maserati COO Santo Ficili, he takes over from Cristiano Fiorio, who moves to Maserati to lead Marketing while continuing his role as General Manager of BOTTEGAFUORISERIE.

SHERIDAN, WYOMING – December 5, 2025 – For many people with upper limb disabilities, driving isn’t just about getting from A to B – it’s about freedom, dignity and the ability to decide your own day. To mark the International Day of Persons with Disabilities, Stellantis has unveiled the Alfa Romeo Tonale for All, a specially engineered version of the stylish SUV designed in Italy to put that independence firmly within reach.

A premium SUV reimagined for different abilities

Tonale for All takes all the character of a modern Alfa Romeo – design flair, comfort and technology – and layers in thoughtful adaptations you don’t see at first glance. Instead of feeling like an “afterthought conversion,” the changes are integrated into the car with the same level of care as its original interior.

SHERIDAN, WYOMING – December 5, 2025 – Turin is stepping firmly into a new era of Italian mobility as production of the new Fiat 500 Hybrid gets underway at the historic Mirafiori plant, paired with an ambitious redesign of the site’s iconic Office Building. Together, the two projects celebrate the city’s deep automotive roots while pointing clearly toward a more sustainable, people-focused future.

A new Fiat 500 Hybrid, born in Turin

Orders opened on November 21, and Italian drivers will be able to see the car up close during the first “Open Days” at dealerships across the country this coming weekend.

SHERIDAN, WYOMING – December 5, 2025 – What happens when one of pop culture’s most unhinged villains crashes the world of luxury Italian furniture? You get “The Joker Throne” – a dramatic, conversation-starting piece that has just won a 2025 Archiproducts Design Award and officially pushed comic-book fandom into the realm of collectible art and interior design.

From Gotham to Milan: when design meets dark storytelling

Created by Stellantis Design Studio in collaboration with Italian luxury specialist Formitalia, The Joker Throne sits at the center of The Joker Collection, a bold furniture line inspired by DC’s infamous agent of chaos. Unveiled at Salone del Mobile 2025 and now crowned at the Archiproducts Design Awards in Milan, the piece was singled out by an international jury for its provocative concept and willingness to challenge traditional ideas of “good taste.”

SHERIDAN, WYOMING – December 2, 2025 – Standing just metres from a glowing lava lake, clipped into a rope 600 metres inside an active volcano, most people would be thinking about getting out as fast as possible – but for German adventure photographer and filmmaker Ulla Lohmann, that’s exactly where she feels most alive. For more than 25 years, she has chased eruptions, lava flows and extreme landscapes around the world, turning a childhood fascination with volcanoes into a dream career that blends travel, storytelling and science.

From childhood volcano fan to National Geographic storyteller

Ulla’s path into adventure photography started young. At eight years old, her father took her to Vesuvius, Campi Flegrei and Pompeii, where she fell in love with what she calls “the breath of the earth”. That mix of danger, history and raw power never left her.
