From Epic Sailing Vessels to Rugged Explorers: The 10 Best Superyachts That Will Launch This Year

Beyond size, this year's launches are unusually diverse, including motoryachts, sailing vessels, explorers and even a giant sportsfisherman., julia zaltzman, julia zaltzman's most recent stories.

Oceanco Koru Superyacht

With a combined length of 2,929 feet, the world’s top 10 superyachts scheduled for delivery this year are moving away from the idea that yachting is about whose boat is bigger. The trend is now more about mission than size. This year’s launches will be wide ranging, from motoryachts to sailing vessels, explorers and even a giant sportfish.

The list includes offerings from German shipyard Lürssen , which has two 400-foot-plus yachts ready to splash this year, with noteworthy deliveries from other shipyards in Germany, Italy, and the Netherlands showcasing different definitions of design, power and performance.

Here are the yachts we can’t wait to see.

‘Koru’ (564 feet) Oceanco

models on yacht

Jeff Bezos’ first yacht, Koru , was spotted last week on sea trials. The Amazon founder chose to make a bold design statement by commissioning the world’s largest sailing yacht, not to mention the longest pleasure vessel, motor or sail, ever from The Netherlands. Built by Oceanco, the titanic sailing machine is an incredible 3300 GT, powered by kinetic energy generated by the sails. Besides its massive length, its classic canoe stern, a double-deck wooden coach house and navy hull with a red stripe differentiate Koru from any other vessel on the water. The project remains hush-hush. Even the designers remain a secret.

‘Liva’ (387 feet, 1 inch) Abeking & Rasmussen

models on yacht

Launched late last year and scheduled to be delivered in early 2023, Liva is the largest yacht built by Abeking to date, overtaking the German shipyard’s previous flagship Aviva by 65 feet. The French studio Joseph Dirand Architecture was commissioned to pen both the exterior and interior, which is reported to include a semi-submerged underwater observation room on the lower deck, a supersized pool, helipad, spa with sauna and beauty salon, and a lower-deck beach club.

‘Alchemy’ (216 feet, 5 inches) Rossinavi

models on yacht

Commissioned by a private American client, the 216-foot multi-deck motoryacht Alchemy is one of three yachts to be launched by Italian shipyard Rossinavi in 2023. Exterior design is by Philippe Briand, with interior styling by Enrico Gobbi’s Team for Design. Little information has yet to be revealed, though it’s visible from images that the custom yacht features an axe bow, drop-down side terraces at the stern and large floor-to-ceiling windows that afford views from all levels.

Project Jag (400 feet) Lürssen

models on yacht

The 400-foot displacement motoryacht known only as “Project Jag” is reported to be the owner’s third Lürssen. His most recent is Kismet . It is set for delivery in late 2023. Capable of sleeping 20 guests and 40 crew, the gigayacht is equipped with a helipad, spa, swimming pool, two cinemas, gym and storage for a sub. Italian design firm Nuvolari Lenard designed the steel yacht’s exterior, while UK studio Reymond Langton has crafted what is rumored to be a “bespoke homage to the owner’s lifestyle”—whatever that means.

Project Luminance (426 feet, 5 inches) Lürssen

models on yacht

Project Luminance is a 426.5-foot motor yacht that Lürssen claims will be one of the largest and most technologically advanced boats in the world. It’s also the largest yacht due to deliver in 2023. Construction began in 2018, yet few details have been revealed. What we do know is that the seventh-largest project to ever come out of the German shipyard to date features state-of-the-art propulsion systems, advanced navigation and communication systems, as well as next-generation entertainment.

‘T52’ (170 feet) Baglietto

models on yacht

The first model in Baglietto’s T52 line, which splashed in February 2023, features sleek lines and aerodynamic grills penned by Francesco Paszkowski Design. Power comes from a diesel-electric-hybrid propulsion system. The yacht celebrates outdoor space, including a large multi-level beach club at the stern with a fold-down transom, oversized sunbeds and a swimming pool with a floor that rises flush with the deck. Sliding windows on the upper deck convert space into an open-air sky lounge and a 78-foot sundeck with a glass-encased hot tub.

Project 406 (170 feet, 6 inches) Royal Huisman

models on yacht

The Dutch shipyard Royal Huisman made its name building some of the world’s largest sailing yachts, including 296-foot Athena , but now it’s hitting the record books again with the impending launch of Project 406 , the world’s largest sportsfisherman. Naval architecture, exterior and interior are by Dutch studio Vripack. The firm gave the six-decked aluminum yacht a towering profile promising spectacular front-row views of the big game fishing action. The team balanced its height by a long bow, high bulwarks and uncluttered fishing cockpit.

‘Black Shark’ (252 feet, 6 inches) Nobiskrug

models on yacht

Black Shark first began construction in 2019, but all work ceased when Nobiskrug later filed for insolvency. In March 2022, following the German shipyard’s acquisition by entrepreneur Lars Windhorst, work on Black Shark recommenced, with delivery set for 2023. The 252-foot boat, designed by Winch Design, gets its name from its predatory profile and mast shaped like a dorsal fin. A reverse bow, black matte hull and metallic silver superstructure will also help to enhance the marine connection.

‘Ultra G’ (196 feet, 8 inches) Heesen

models on yacht

Heesen is renowned for building fast boats, so it’s no surprise that Ultra G , equipped with a propulsion package totaling 22,000 horsepower, with four water jets and a top speed of 37 knots. The Dutch yard hailed this as its most powerful project to date. The motoryacht was commissioned by an avid sportfisherman, with a fighting chair and storage for 40 rods. Entertainment was also a big mandate for the design, stretching from Samsung’s “The Wall” screen, an infinity pool, and a dedicated self-cleaning “dog park” for furry guests.

‘Maverick’ (145 feet, 3 inches) Cantiere delle Marche

models on yacht

Maverick is the first Flexplorer 142 to soon be delivered by Cantiere delle Marche (CdM), bought by a young German who is a keen sailor and serial owner of both sailing boats and motoryachts. The owner’s itinerary will see him cruising the Mediterranean, before heading to the Northern latitudes to cross the Northwest Passage and put Hydro Tec’s bold exterior design and running surface to the test. Key features include a custom-built A-frame crane that sits flush on the deck when not in use, collapsible bulwarks that fold-down to reveal a 1,450-square-foot beach club, and an infinity pool at the transom.

7 New Yachts for a New Season

  • By Kim Kavin
  • March 27, 2023

Eclipse 505 and 605: South African Stunners

The Eclipse 505 and Eclipse 605 are both Michael Peters designs that use the company’s Stepped-V Ventilated Tunnel (SVVT) hull. The Michael Peters team also contributed to naval architecture on both models, alongside Du Toit Yacht Design in South Africa. That’s where these boats are built, by Two Oceans Marine Manufacturing in Cape Town. It’s a yard that was founded in 1989 and that has specialized in custom and semi-custom catamarans from 27 to 150 feet length overall. The Eclipse 505 has two staterooms and two heads, while the Eclipse 605 has three of each. The hull drafts are minimal (2 feet, 11 inches on the Eclipse 505, and 3 feet, 3 inches on the Eclipse 605) so the boats can be used in cruising grounds like the Bahamas.

Eastbay 60: The Largest Eastbay So Far

The Eastbay brand has been on the water with many models since 1993 but has been revitalized since 2014, when GB Marine Group—the parent company of Grand Banks and Eastbay—got a new boss. He charged the team with creating the Eastbay 44, which incorporated GB Marine’s V-Warp technology. Customer demand then led to the creation of the new Eastbay 60, which has the same technology, along with an extensive use of carbon fiber, and updated accommodations with an eye toward luxury. Preliminary sea trials, according to the builder, show a 27-knot cruising speed and a 33-knot top speed with optional 900 hp Volvo Penta IPS1200s. Optional 1,000 hp Volvo Penta IPS1350s take those numbers up to 30 and 38 knots, respectively.

Apreamare Gozzo 45: Walkaround Design

Apreamare , which has been building boats in Italy since 1849, has a new Gozzo-line flagship model: the Gozzo 45. Designer Marco Casali of Too Design, working with Cataldo Aprea and the Apreamare technical department, is primarily responsible for creating the Gozzo 45. They describe the boat as a “classy cruiser” that stands apart from other, “increasingly redundant” models of the same size in the marketplace. The cockpit table is intended for entertaining with eight to 10 guests, while the two-stateroom, two-head accommodations plan belowdecks is set up for weekends on the hook. (An optional three-stateroom, two-head layout is also available.) Engine packages can be traditional shaft-line or Volvo Penta IPS installations.

Aquila 42: A Sleek Catamaran Ready to Entertain

Aquila Yachts has announced plans for a 42-foot power catamaran that is on track to make its debut in February 2023. The model will join the company’s existing lineup of power cats that go as big as 70 feet length overall. So far, Aquila has revealed that the 42 will have two staterooms available in multiple configurations, along with a utility cabin and twin 230 hp or 300 hp Volvo Penta D4 diesels. This will be a great option for someone looking for a small, yet mighty cruising boat . Guest relaxation areas will be concentrated on the flybridge, in the cockpit and on the foredeck. The new boat will be built to the standard known as CE Certification Category A, which means it will be suitable for seas up to 13 feet as well as winds above 40 knots—in other words, get ready for some serious, longer-distance cruising itineraries.

Prestige M48: First Model in a New Line

The M48 is the first model in the new M-Line of catamarans from Prestige Yachts in France, which also makes three additional lines of motoryachts from 42 to 70 feet length overall. The M48’s open cockpit has seating for as many as eight people, and a nearby aft platform lowers electrically so it becomes flush with the twin transom platforms, creating a nearly 20-foot-wide space that can be used as a beach club or a tender launch. The flybridge has guest seating and dining. The master stateroom is positioned forward with a king-size berth, while owners can choose the layouts and berth sizes for guest staterooms. Prestige reports a cruising speed of 15 knots and a top-end speed of 20 knots with standard Volvo Penta engines.

Azimut Grande 26M: A Low-Emission Yacht

The Azimut Grande 26M, which was presented at the Cannes Yachting Festival in September, has the Italian builder’s Large POD propulsion system. It is designed to reduce fuel consumption and carbon-dioxide emissions by 20 percent—a big selling point, according to Azimut, which reported 22 hulls sold as of early December. This is a five-stateroom yacht that includes a full-beam owners’ stateroom on the main deck. Exterior designer Alberto Mancini says one of the prime spaces on board is the oversize cockpit: “We wanted to extend to give the yacht a fully fledged dining area overlooking the water.” In terms of performance, Azimut says the 26M cruises at 24 knots with a top hop of 28 knots.

Arcadia A96: Coming This Fall

Arcadia Yachts in Italy is planning for the premiere of the Arcadia A96 at this autumn’s Cannes Yachting Festival. The power package is unusual, with four (count ’em) Volvo Penta IPS1200s, or optional IPS1350s. The setup allowed Arcadia to devote more space to guest areas forward of the powerplants, and to give skippers features at the helm such as joystick maneuvering and dynamic positioning. There is also an optional silent-mode system that uses solar panels for eight to nine hours of operations overnight without the hum of a generator. The builder says the boat has a “quiet-running” system for air conditioning too, further helping to keep the ambience for guests on board, ahem, perfectly chill.

WHAT ARE THE YACHT TRENDS FOR 2024?

yacht trends 2024

When looking towards the future of yachting, the trends seem to have remained the same - create more space for activities, open up the interior to the exterior as much as possible, and integrate technology throughout the boat to make it more like home. Moveable, unfixed furniture is no more common on cruising yachts, a trend that allows owners to move their sofas and chairs around to make the most of their space. Refinement of some of the usual yacht trend talking points are likely to stick around for 2024 as well including solar energy, electric engines, apps for control of your yacht's systems from your mobile device, and of course, better capabilities to run your business while on your yacht.

NEW ELECTRONICS TREND FOR 2024: STARLINK STANDARD

starlink service for yachts

High-speed internet while out cruising on your yacht is not a new thing, but yachts for sale on the brokerage market that already have Starlink set up will sell better in 2024. "More and more boats are now either being ordered with Starlink as an option or owners are equipping their yacht with it after its delivered," said Jay Hendrix , Vice President of SI Yachts. "If it's already on there and we list the boat for sale, we find that to be a feature that helps sell that yacht over others on the market." Starlink can now delivery 5TB of data to all guests and crew on board with only a latency of less than 99MS.

MOST USEFUL PRODUCT IN 2024: QUICKSTEP YACHT BOARDING SOLUTION

WILL 2024 HAVE MORE AVAILABLE YACHTS FOR SALE?

viking sportfish factory - yacht buyers guide 2024

It's no secret that the last few years of surging boat buying activity increased the wait time for new yachts built at the shipyards, but also depleted the inventory on the brokerage market. Will buying a yacht in 2024 be any easier? "We are starting to see much more normal wait times when you custom order a yacht," said Jay Hendrix. For Viking and Princess, you can receive your yacht within 12 months in most cases. SI Yachts is also ordering more inventory from the manufacturers to have boats on hand at our locations.. The brokerage market continues to be down overall in number of listings compared to 2018-2019 levels. Late-model, pre-owned yachts that have been well-maintained and have service records seem to still sell fast and for close to asking price.

Celebrities Accused Of 'Yachting' In Hollywood — And What Being A 'Yacht Girl' Really Means

Rumors suggest some women are paid to play..

By Micki Spollen Written on Jan 11, 2022

woman on a man's shoulders partying

It’s easy to be envious when seeing the Instagram photos of young, carefree celebrity women seemingly having the time of their lives on yachts floating in exotic waters and in the VIP sections of the most exclusive clubs.

However, rumor has it there is much more than meets the eye when it comes to these ‘yacht girls’ and their extravagant lifestyles.

What is a yacht girl?

According to Urban Dictionary , a yacht girl is “an attractive young woman who finds ways to get access to luxurious surroundings by being available to wealthy men.”

For example, you may follow a woman or two on Instagram who always seems to be partying or vacationing somewhere expensive (notably without ever showing who she’s actually with). This is a person you could potentially describe as being a yacht girl.

And it’s not just those Instagram models and wannabe stars that are considered yacht girls. As you work up the wealth chain, you may be surprised to recognize some celebrity names synonymous with yachting.

What is 'yachting' in Hollywood?

In Hollywood, the term yacht girl essentially means a woman who works as an escort for high-end clientele , not just on yachts but for any social event.

While the practice has only somewhat recently gained mainstream notoriety, if you think back on the many tabloid photos of models and actresses on yachts from years past, it appears to be something that's gone on in Hollywood “for 60 years,” according to Elie Nahas, who ran a Beirut-based modeling agency before being arrested on charges of running a prostitution ring in 2007.

In 2013, "The Hollywood Reporter" ran a feature describing this so-called yachting during the Cannes Film Festival.

“Every year during the festival there are 30 or 40 luxury yachts in the bay at Cannes, and every boat belongs to a very rich person. Every boat has about 10 girls on it; they are usually models, and they are usually nude or half nude,” Nahas told THR.

At the end of the night, each woman would receive a “gift,” a generous amount of money that the client would put in an envelope for her.

And while many of these women were self-proclaimed local prostitutes and escorts, the Cannes Film Festival is, of course, known for its celebrity attendees — and it’s rumored that celebrity women trying to fast-track a name for themselves in Hollywood become yacht girls, too.

“Women installed on yachts in Cannes during the film festival are called ‘yacht girls,’ and the line between professional prostitutes and B- or C-list Hollywood actresses and models who accept payment for sex with rich older men is sometimes very blurred, explains one film industry veteran,” Dana Kennedy wrote for THR.

RELATED:  What Is Instagram Face — And Which Celebrities Have It?

Some women in Hollywood have accused their celebrity peers of being yacht girls.

A 2017 blind item (celebrity gossip that doesn’t outwardly name the celebrity) allegedly written by a struggling actress describes being lured by another actress into the world of yachting :

“The actress I was talking to made it sound super easy and that she only had [sex] a few times with guys while yachting and that it was mostly partying and being arm candy,” she writes, explaining that eventually she agreed to try it for $25,000 upfront, but admitting that the experience was less than glamorous.

Blind item readers guessed that Canadian actress Vanessa Lengies wrote the blind item and further surmised that it may be one of the Glee actresses Naya Rivera or Heather Morris that introduced her to yachting. None of these claims have ever been substantiated.

If you believe the rumors, it would seem that yachting is a rite of passage for women hoping to “make it” in Hollywood, and even some celebrities we now consider A-List are thought to be former yacht girls.

In an excerpt from her 2021 memoir , “My Body,” Emily Ratajkowski details being paid $25,000 at the start of her career to go to the Superbowl with now-disgraced Malaysian financier Jho Low, who "‘just liked to have famous men and women around,’” she explains her manager told her at the time.

She writes about attending the star-studded Coachella on someone else’s dime, having drinks paid for at clubs, and attending afterparties with Oscar-winning actors before actually becoming a celebrity herself.

One could infer from this recollection that, in order to be able to tell these stories, Ratajkowski was herself a yacht girl. “My Body” suggests as much, and in it, she subtly gives away the identity of another celebrity woman who yachted alongside her.

Ratajkowski describes watching as Low gave shots to a Victoria’s Secret model. While she doesn’t name drop, Ratajkowski gives just enough information for readers to figure who that model likely was.

“Now she kept her eyes locked on him as he took his shot, throwing her head back dramatically as he did, only to quickly toss the alcohol over her shoulder,” Ratajkowski writes. “When he faced her again, her eyes sparkled and the famous dimples appeared on her cheeks.”

Low has since become a fugitive wanted for allegedly running an international money laundering scheme, and in 2017, Reuters reported that model Miranda Kerr — known for her dimples — was being ordered to return “diamond pendants, earrings and other jewelry worth about $8 million” that Low allegedly gifted her to government agents.

In 2017, Ratajkowski also posted a video on Instagram potentially outing Bella Hadid and Hailey Bieber as yacht girls as they danced aboard a yacht during that year’s Cannes Film Festival.

Many people have also accused Meghan Markle of yachting (but then again, what haven't people accused Markle of at this point).

People have pointed to an old photo of Markle on a yacht as proof that she’s a former yacht girl.

RELATED:  How Meghan Markle Is Related To Prince Harry

Another old blind item also suggested the former actress was available to “rent.”

"If you see B actress post scantily clad photos of themselves on Social Media, this is often a Comm to [them] that this person is available to ‘rent’ for a weekend of ‘yachting,’” the tweet says, including a photo of Markle in a swimsuit.

"If you see B actress post scantily clad photos of themselves on Social Media, this is often a Comm to [them] that this person is available to “rent” for a weekend of “yachting”.

Markle’s close friendship pre-Harry with actress Priyanka Chopra has naturally led some to guess that Chopra once yachted as well.

Another actress that faces endless rumors of yachting is Russian actress Irina Shayk , which according to THR, is par for the course as the outlet writes that yachting your way to stardom happens with “disturbing frequency,” particularly when it comes to foreign-born actresses.

According to THR, who claims to know “of at least one now-prominent actress who made her first connections on a Cannes yacht and quickly landed her debut role in a U.S.-shot movie,” such as with Shayk’s 2014 film “Hercules,” it’s “a red flag any time you see a foreign-born actress with no credits suddenly make her way into a U.S.-shot movie.”

Of course, when it comes to yachting in Hollywood, all of these claims appear to be unfounded.

These rumors make for good gossip, whether you’re talking about low-level social media influencers or high-profile celebrity actresses.

However, nothing is proven, leaving us to wonder any time we see a photo of women on a yacht.

EV boat maker Arc debuts a premium wake sport model for $258,000

By lora kolodny,cnbc • published february 21, 2024 • updated on february 21, 2024 at 11:36 am.

  • Arc Boat Company started taking orders for its second fully electric model in three years on Tuesday.
  • The Arc Sport is a 23 foot, battery-electric boat designed for wake sports enthusiasts.
  • Founded by Ryan Cook and Mitch Lee in 2021, Arc has raised $110 million from investors including the NBA's Kevin Durant and Klay Thompson.

Arc Boat Company began sales of its second electric boat model in just three years this week. The new $258,000 Arc Sport was designed for wake sports enthusiasts and follows the company's earlier Arc One, a limited-edition luxury cruiser.

While the startup produced fewer than two dozen of those earlier boats, it is gearing up for continuous production of the new model, which it unveiled on Tuesday.

The 23 foot Arc Sport can carry up to 15 people at a time. It boasts a large battery with enough power to last for four to six hours and has a top speed of 40 miles per hour. At its price, it will compete with high-end models sold by traditional boat makers such as Nautique, MasterCraft and Malibu.

Arc is one of a handful of promising startups aiming to electrify boating for sports and leisure including GM-backed Pure Watercraft and Stockholm-based X Shore.

Traditional fuel-burning boats contribute to significant environmental problems including noise pollution, smog and water pollution that is visible floating on the water around them.

Arc co-founder and CEO Mitch Lee said he spent his younger years water skiing, kneeboarding and wakeboarding on the Sacramento–San Joaquin River Delta near Stockton, California, and always noticed the stench of burning diesel at marinas and runoff from engines.

He wanted to do something to reduce the negative effects of these sports and partnered with a former SpaceX engineer, Ryan Cook, who is now the chief technology officer at Arc, to make that, and a "better boating experience," a reality.

Arc's leadership team also includes veterans of boating, automotive and transportation companies including Tesla , Rivian , Lyft , Brunswick and MarineMax , which helped the EV boat maker convince investors their designs and technology could work.

About $110 million in early-stage funding for Arc was raised from a mix of celebrity angel investors and venture capital firms including the National Basketball Association's Kevin Durant and Klay Thompson; actor Will Smith; and venture capital funds Andreessen Horowitz, Eclipse Ventures and Menlo Ventures, among others.

Arc was able to design and start building its fully electric boats within a relatively short time frame, under three years, because the automotive industry had already invested years and billions of dollars building up a supply chain for components that go into electric vehicles, Lee said.

Buying components from trusted suppliers, rather than creating many from scratch like electric auto manufacturers Tesla and Rivian had to do in their earliest days, made it possible to get from concept to the dock in a few years rather than in a decade, the CEO emphasized.

Can the Rivian R2S Right the Ship?

Despite Rivian’s production successes, its third (and more affordable) consumer EV is a long time away.

a car parked in a garage

  • Rivian plans to lay off 10% of its salaried staff, the EV maker has announced, as part of continuing cost-cutting efforts.
  • The EV maker posted a $5.4 billion loss in 2023 and expects high interest rates and other issues to affect its performance in 2024.
  • The Rivian R2S sport utility, due to be revealed March 7, will not arrive until 2026 by which time it will have plenty of competition in its own segment, and other Rivian models will face more direct challengers as well.

At first blush, these seem like positive bits of news.

But the EV maker has just revealed that it is laying off 10% of its salaried staff, after posting a $5.4 billion loss in 2023. And it doesn't exactly expect an easy 2024.

"Economic and geopolitical uncertainties and pressures, most notably the impact of historically high interest rates, have informed Rivian's expectations for 2024," the EV maker said in a statement this month. "With these market conditions, the company expects to produce 57,000 vehicles in 2024, in line with 2023 production."

To be fair, the $5.4 billion loss in 2023 was smaller than the $6.8 billion that ended up in the red in 2022, but it still paints a picture of an EV maker in a precarious position, just as EV demand has been described by a number of automakers as slowing, as evidenced by some frantic price cuts, production line cutbacks, model cancelations, and debut pushbacks.

Rivian CEO RJ Scaringe echoed concerns over flagging demand in comments to analysts on the latest earnings call, citing high interest rates as well as a number of other challenges.

"We firmly believe in the full electrification of the automotive industry, but recognize in the short-term the challenging macro-economic conditions," Scaringe said in a statement.

.css-ov6gys{font-family:Paralucent,Paralucent-roboto,Paralucent-local,Arial,sans-serif;font-size:1.5rem;line-height:1.1;margin:0rem;}@media(min-width: 48rem){.css-ov6gys{font-size:2.1875rem;line-height:1.2;}}@media(min-width: 64rem){.css-ov6gys{font-size:2.625rem;line-height:1.2;}}.css-ov6gys b,.css-ov6gys strong{font-family:inherit;font-weight:bold;}.css-ov6gys em,.css-ov6gys i{font-style:italic;font-family:inherit;} The Rivian R2S won’t have a truck version, contrary to earlier expectations.

Rivian has already seen personnel cuts in 2022 and 2023. But there is only so much savings to generate from continued personnel cuts before they begin to affect operations.

The Rivian R2S, which will be revealed March 7, will land in a segment that is already seemingly at capacity, with new arrivals still landing every few months.

By contrast, five years ago Tesla was pretty much the sole player in this general price and size category with the Model Y, and the Ford Mustang Mach-E was not even on sale.

The Rivian R2S will have to compete not only with the aging but still relevant Tesla Model Y, but with just about every other electric SUV and crossover in the $40,000 to $60,000 range. And it won't have a truck version, contrary to earlier expectations.

But the R2 won't actually arrive until 2026, which on screen looks like a distant date from some sci-fi film. We can't even be sure what the map of Europe will look like in 2026, to put it another way.

By 2026 Rivian will also have a new, US-based competitor in the form of Scout Motors , aiming to offer a lineup that won't be too dissimilar.

So as much as the R2S is seen as needed boost for Rivian at the moment, it is by no means around the corner.

It's anyone's guess what the EV market will look like by the time the R2S actually begins shipping, but it's clear that its list of competitors won't shrink by that point in time.

Can Rivian hang on to its slice of the EV pie, or will larger competitors, as well as Scout Motors, dilute its uniqueness in the coming years? Let us know what you think in the comments below.

NEWS... BUT NOT AS YOU KNOW IT

Popular holiday island ‘heading for disaster’ due to sunken cruise ship

Cruise ship

A sunken shipwreck is threatening a popular holiday island as campaigners say it’s polluting the environment surrounding it.

The cruise ship, which sunk off the coast of the Greek island of Santorini in 2007, was left to rot under the sea for years.

And now experts fear the MS Sea Diamond is releasing toxic waste into the water which could affect the holiday hotspot.

Two passengers died when the 22,000-ton cruise ship sunk off the coast of the Greek island nearly 17 years ago.

Local people have been fighting for years to get the wreckage removed, worried about the consequences of the pollution caused by the ship’s fuel tanks.

And residents have this week demanded the necessary and immediate removal of the ship in a letter to the Greek Parliament’s Special Standing Committee for Environmental Protection.

Mandatory Credit: Photo by Sipa/REX/Shutterstock (655236a) A picture by one of the Spanish tourists aboard the Greek cruise ship 'Sea Diamond' shows the cruise ship listing heavily after striking rocks off the Greek island of Santorini. The 'Sea Diamond' sank 15 hours after the accident occurred. The evacuation of passengers from the Greek cruise ship 'Sea Diamond', Santorini, Greece - 05 Apr 2007

The letter read: ‘The shipwreck remains on the seabed and continues to pollute, at a slow but steady rate, it erodes daily and at any time it can cause an incalculable ecological disaster.’

But so far local authorities have failed to salvage the shipwreck.

It’s causing a long-running dispute on the island, which could spell disaster for the future of Santorini.

Campaigners told The Sun that the popular island is ‘heading for disaster’ if something isn’t done soon to tackle the wreckage.

They added that the government has ‘failed the community’ and the lack of action may lead to an environmental disaster.

There are fears that toxic waste could spill out of the sunken ship and poison Santorini’s coastlines, which would make it dangerous for people to go to the beaches and swim in the sea.

The shipwreck contains huge volumes of motor fuel and lubricants as well as hundreds of litres of battery electrolytes.

It also contains copper cables, toxic heavy metals and other dangerous chemicals.

Experts say it could take up to 400 years for all of these pollutants to fully decompose.

Now they have called the island a ‘ticking time bomb’ as the wreck could cause a catastrophic event impacting the popular destination.

Loucas Lignos said: ‘All these carcinogenic substances are dangerous for humans. At the same time, desalination procedures cannot filter through the dangerous heavy metals.

‘The main problem is that these chemicals can enter the human body through bioaccumulation – either via desalination of the water or by fish consumption.

‘If that happens it will be a huge environmental disaster for the Santorini beaches.’

The wreckage is around 800m from the port and around 100m underwater.

The ship, owned by Louis Hellenic Cruises, sunk on April 5, 2007, on a reef. It was carrying 1,195 passengers at the time.

Most of the people on board, who were mostly Americans and Canadians, were safely rescued but a French dad and his teenage daughter died.

The bodies of Jean Christophe Allain, 45, and his 16-year-old daughter Maud were never found.

In the months immediately after the wreckage there was an attempt made to decontaminate the waters around it.

This was followed by an unsuccessful effort to sort the problem with a pumping operation.

All Ships And How To Get Them

Every pirate needs a ship and Skull and Bones features a variety of different options to choose from. Each ship has its own different pros and cons, with some of the better options locked behind high-quality materials and Infamy Ranks . Each ship also has a base level that they start at, and the ship level increases as you deck it out with better weapons and equipment.

Below you can find a list of every ship, along with their cost and where to find each blueprint. Each ship also has a checklist option next to it , so you can keep track of which ships you already have.

All Ships in Skull and Bones

Click below to jump to:

Hullbreaker

The starting ship is the Dhow, a small ship that doesn't have any weapons or furniture slots. This ship is given to you as part of the tutorial and while it won't be your go-to for sailing the high seas, it does serve a purpose outside of the tutorial.

Not only can the Dhow reach some hidden materials in small waterways that the larger ships cannot fit in, it is also the only ship that allows you to hunt sea creatures with a spear. Some animal skins are used in crafting, so you will need to go out on the Dhow occasionally. Once you obtain multiple ships, you can swap between them whenever you go to set sail at a dock.

Skull-and-bones-rammer-bedar.jpg

  • Ship Class: Bedar
  • Ship Size: Small
  • Ship Type: DPS

The Rammer is a small DPS class ship. It is also the first combat ready ship you will gain access to and is practically gifted to you as part of the early game quests. Once you reach Sainte-Anne after the opening sequence, you will need to have this ship built in order to get to plundering. The blueprint is purchased from the Shipwright for 660 Silver. Once you have the blueprint, you will still need to provide the Shipwright with the necessary materials, along with a small fee.

The Rammer features three weapon slots, two furniture slots, and one armor slot. It's designed for pirates looking to get up close and personal with enemy ships, as it's perk offers 25% extra damage when ramming and reduces the slowing effect of torn sails by 50%.

Skull-and-bones-defender-hulk.jpg

  • Ship Class: Hulk
  • Ship Type: Tank

The Defender is an early game Tank class ship, meant to be able to take a ton of damage during battle. It offers a starting health pool of 30,000, which makes it perfect players looking to conserve their Repair Kits during the heat of battle.

Its perk Ironclad reduces the Brace Strength depletion by 20% when being hit by enemy fire, allowing you to reduce the damage of attacks before needing a break.

The Defender's blueprint can be purchased from the Fara Warrior in Scared Tree. You need to reach Infamy rank Rover 1 to build this ship.

Skull-and-bones-cutter.jpg

  • Ship Class: Cutter
  • Ship Type: Support

The Sentinel ship is an early game Support ship and features one of the best perks in Skull and Bones. It starts with a base level of 2 and its perk, Unburden , heals Severe Damage and Hull Health by 0.5% per second, both in and out of combat. You can also maximize your healing by equipping furniture and weapons that provide healing to both you and any other ships in your party.

The blueprint for the Sentinel can be obtained from the Lanitra outpost to the Northwest of Saint-Anne, costing 1,080 Silver and requiring a Rover 1 Infamy level. To craft the Sentinel you will need Bronze Ingot x6, Iroko Plank x6, and Fine Jute x12.

Skull-and-bones-barge.jpg

  • Ship Class: Barge

The Firebrand ship is a base level 3 DPS ship, designed for anyone looking to set fire to enemy ships. Its Wildfire perk allows you to apply the Ablaze affect to nearby enemy ships, spreading within 125 meters of the initial ship hit. It also increases the damage of Ablaze by 20%.

Burning damage increases the Ablaze charging speed by 150%, so naturally you will want to deck out the Firebrand with fire-enhanced weaponry, like Fire Bombard and Sea Fire, to take advantage of its proficiency in fire.

The Firebrand blueprint can be purchased at the Kaa Mangrove outpost in the Coast of Africa, found west of Sainte-Anne, for 4,950 Silver. You will need to be at Infamy rank Buccaneer in order to purchase the blueprint.

Skull-and-bones-sloop.jpg

  • Ship Class: Sloop

The Blaster is a base level 3 DPS class ship focused on explosives and taking down structures, letting it excel at plundering outposts. It's perk Outburst adds a 50% chance per explosive hit to trigger an additional explosion dealing 1,500 damage to a random enemy within 150m radius. It also does increased damage to structures, like guard towers, and increases any explosive damage done by 15%.

Decking the Blaster out with explosive weapons will maximize the amount of destruction you can cause. The Blaster blueprint can be purchased for 4,950 Silver from the Sunken Goldmine in the Coast of Africa, Northwest of Sainte-Anne. You will need to have reached at least Buccaneer Infamy level.

Skull-and-bones-padewakang.jpg

  • Ship Class: Padewakang
  • Ship Size: Medium

The Bombardier is good for two things: dealing massive amounts of damage and carrying more loot than any one pirate could ever need. This massive DPS ship, with a starting rank of 5, has similar explosive perks to the Sloop, but offers much more fire power. Its Detonate has a 75% chance to deal 1,000 explosive damage to enemies within 125m whenever you land explosive hits. The effect is increased by 100% if the enemy is Ablaze and it deals extra damage to structures.

The Bombardier is also a difficult ship to build. The blueprint can be purchased for 5,280 Silver from the Shipwright in Telok Penjarah, requiring an Infamy rank of at least Brigand. The materials for this ship require you to sink a ton of enemy ships to collect, which can be difficult if you are playing solo or underleveled.

Skull-and-bones-snow.jpg

  • Ship Class: Snow

The Vanguard is one of the more powerful Tank class ships you can get in Skull and Bones. As the class implies, this massive ship is excellent for getting into the heat of battle and withstanding whatever is thrown at it. The Tenacity perk recovers 4% of Brace Strength per second while Bracing, allowing you Brace for longer. It also increases Brace Strength by 50% and Brace Strength recovery by 150%

It has a base level of 5. The Vanguard blueprint can be purchased at the Khmoy Estate in the East Indies, to the Northwest of Telok Penjarah. It costs 10,560 Silver.

Skull-and-bones-brigantine.jpg

  • Ship Class: Brigantine

As the name implies, the Hullbreaker is a base level 5 DPS ship that specializes in ramming enemy ships. Its perk, Bullhorn , increases ramming damage by 45%, letting you knock enemy ships to the bottom of the ocean without firing a single cannon. The duration of the Torn Sails effect, which slows down your movement, is reduced by 80%. Ramming an enemy ship inflicts the Flooding effect, which reduces movement speed.

The Hullbreaker blueprint can be bought in the Ruined Lighthouse in the East Indies, to the South of Telok Penjarah. It costs 15,840 Silver and requires the rank of Cutthroat.

Skull-and-bones-sambuk.jpg

  • Ship Class: Sambuk

The Pyromaniac is one of the best ships in the game for dealing damage, but it is also one of the hardest to acquire. The main reason it's difficult to get is that is costs Pieces of Eight and not Silver.

The Pyromaniac's Scorched perk deals 5,000 burning damage to anyone effected by Ablaze and Ablaze is applied to enemy ships within 150m. It also increases Ablaze damage by 50%, making it a perfect fire-breathing vessel to rule the seas with.

It costs 5,000 Pieces of Eight to purchase the ship from the Black Market in Telok Penjarah or Sainte-Anne from the Shipwright.

OpenAI’s Sora video-generating model can render video games, too

models on yacht

OpenAI’s new — and first! — video-generating model, Sora , can pull off some genuinely impressive cinematographic feats. But the model’s even more capable than OpenAI initially made it out to be, at least judging by a technical paper published this evening.

The paper, titled “Video generation models as world simulators,” co-authored by a host of OpenAI researchers, peels back the curtains on key aspects of Sora’s architecture — for instance revealing that Sora can generate videos of an arbitrary resolution and aspect ratio (up to 1080p). Per the paper, Sora’s able to perform a range of image and video editing tasks, from creating looping videos to extending videos forwards or backwards in time to changing the background in an existing video.

But most intriguing to this writer is Sora’s ability to “simulate digital worlds,” as the OpenAI co-authors put it. In an experiment, OpenAI fed Sora prompts containing the word “Minecraft” and had it render a convincingly Minecraft-like HUD and game — and the game’s dynamics, including physics — while simultaneously controlling the player character.

OpenAI Sora can simulate Minecraft I guess. Maybe next generation game console will be "Sora box" and games are distributed as 2-3 paragraphs of text. pic.twitter.com/9BZUIoruOV — Andrew White (@andrewwhite01) February 16, 2024

So how’s Sora able to do this? Well, as observed by senior Nvidia researcher Jim Fan ( via Quartz ), Sora’s more of a “data-driven physics engine” than a creative too. It’s not just generating a single photo or video, but determining the physics of each object in an environment — and rendering a photo or video (or interactive 3D world, as the case may be) based on these calculations.

“These capabilities suggest that continued scaling of video models is a promising path towards the development of highly-capable simulators of the physical and digital world, and the objects, animals and people that live within them,” the OpenAI co-authors write.

Now, Sora’s usual limitations apply in the video game domain. The model can’t accurately approximate the physics of basic interactions like glass shattering. And even with interactions it  can model, Sora’s often inconsistent — for example rendering a person eating a burger but failing to render bite marks.

Still, if I’m reading the paper correctly, it seems Sora could pave the way for more realistic — perhaps even photorealistic — procedurally generated games from text descriptions alone. That’s in equal parts exciting and terrifying (consider the deepfake implications, for one) — which is probably why OpenAI’s choosing to gate Sora behind a very limited access program for now.

Here’s hoping we learn more sooner rather than later.

OpenAI’s newest model Sora can generate videos — and they look decent

EV boat maker Arc debuts a premium wake sport model for $258,000

thumbnail

  • Arc Boat Company started taking orders for its second fully electric model in three years on Tuesday.
  • The Arc Sport is a 23 foot, battery-electric boat designed for wake sports enthusiasts.
  • Founded by Ryan Cook and Mitch Lee in 2021, Arc has raised $110 million from investors including the NBA's Kevin Durant and Klay Thompson.

Arc Boat Company began sales of its second electric boat model in just three years this week. The new $258,000 Arc Sport was designed for wake sports enthusiasts and follows the company's earlier Arc One, a limited-edition luxury cruiser.

While the startup produced fewer than two dozen of those earlier boats, it is gearing up for continuous production of the new model, which it unveiled on Tuesday.

The 23 foot Arc Sport can carry up to 15 people at a time. It boasts a large battery with enough power to last for four to six hours and has a top speed of 40 miles per hour. At its price, it will compete with high-end models sold by traditional boat makers such as Nautique, MasterCraft and Malibu.

Arc is one of a handful of promising startups aiming to electrify boating for sports and leisure including GM-backed Pure Watercraft and Stockholm-based X Shore.

Traditional fuel-burning boats contribute to significant environmental problems including noise pollution, smog and water pollution that is visible floating on the water around them.

Arc co-founder and CEO Mitch Lee said he spent his younger years water skiing, kneeboarding and wakeboarding on the Sacramento–San Joaquin River Delta near Stockton, California, and always noticed the stench of burning diesel at marinas and runoff from engines.

He wanted to do something to reduce the negative effects of these sports and partnered with a former SpaceX engineer, Ryan Cook, who is now the chief technology officer at Arc, to make that, and a "better boating experience," a reality.

Arc's leadership team also includes veterans of boating, automotive and transportation companies including Tesla , Rivian , Lyft , Brunswick and MarineMax , which helped the EV boat maker convince investors their designs and technology could work.

About $110 million in early-stage funding for Arc was raised from a mix of celebrity angel investors and venture capital firms including the National Basketball Association's Kevin Durant and Klay Thompson; actor Will Smith; and venture capital funds Andreessen Horowitz, Eclipse Ventures and Menlo Ventures, among others.

Arc was able to design and start building its fully electric boats within a relatively short time frame, under three years, because the automotive industry had already invested years and billions of dollars building up a supply chain for components that go into electric vehicles, Lee said.

Buying components from trusted suppliers, rather than creating many from scratch like electric auto manufacturers Tesla and Rivian had to do in their earliest days, made it possible to get from concept to the dock in a few years rather than in a decade, the CEO emphasized.

Arc plans to begin deliveries of its new battery electric Arc Sport to customers this year. Don't miss these stories from CNBC PRO:

Girls basketball: Highlights from the opening round of the state tournament

models on yacht

The opening rounds of the NJSIAA girls basketball tournament take place Wednesday and Thursday, setting up the public sectional quarterfinals for Monday (even-numbered groups) and Tuesday (odd-numbered groups).

The North Non-Public A/B tournaments begin Friday, with the quarterfinals on Monday.

Here are the highlights and takeaways from first-round action, as well as a look ahead to select quarterfinal match-ups.

BRACKETS: Live NJSIAA girls basketball results from every section in North Jersey

River Dell scores big

The highest team total in North 1, Group 3 belonged to No. 4 seed River Dell (17-7), a 74-60 winner over No. 13 Montville. The Hawks also employed Thursday’s top individual scorer in the bracket, as sophomore Alexa DePol netted 34 points.

Next up, coach Lindsay Steffner’s squad hosts the team she coached from 2012-15, No. 5 Demarest (20-7). The Norsewomen advanced to the quarterfinals by dispatching No. 12 Morris Hills, 52-33.

Senior Taylor Miller recorded a double-double (14 points, 14 rebounds) for Demarest, which reached the 20-win mark for the second time in coach Jenny Jurjevic’s nine-year tenure. The 2018-19 team went 22-7 and reached the sectional semifinals.

Emerson ekes one out

The only close game in North 1, Group 1 that involved a North Jersey team was No. 7 Emerson’s 51-48 victory over No. 10 Wallkill Valley. Sophomore Gabriella Micucci tied a career high with 24 points and added 7 rebounds and 4 steals for the Cavos (13-14), which will visit No. 2 Mountain Lakes in the quarterfinals.

The Bergen County matchup to watch next in the section will be No. 5 Hasbrouck Heights (17-7) at No. 4 Cresskill (15-11). Both teams feature four-year letter-winners in the post: Sam Russo (791 career points) for the Aviators and Erin Fahy (1,219) for the Cougars.

North 2, Group 1 also has an All-Bergen quarterfinal lined up, as No. 6 Wood-Ridge (12-13) travels to No. 3 North Arlington (15-9). The Vikings prevailed when the same teams met in the 2022 opening round, though they have split four meetings over the last two years.

Leonia makes the leap

In North 1, Group 2, Leonia scored its first state-tournament win in 23 years by stifling No. 11 Lodi, 50-17. The No. 6 Lions (20-6) advance to face No. 3 Glen Rock (18-6), which won the brackets other Bergen vs. Bergen matchup against Indian Hills, 47-17.

A dive into The Record archives showed that the last Leonia postseason win came on Feb. 26, 2001 – that, too, was against Lodi in the same bracket, 52-51.

The Lions have strung together consecutive winning seasons for the first time since the mid-1990s, though last year’s 15-9 campaign ended quietly.

“We missed out on the state playoffs last season,” coach Joe Prenenski said. “Even with our record, we came up two power points shy of making it.”

West Milford wings it

The No. 10 seed in North 1, Group 2, West Milford (14-10) scored its first playoff win since 2016 and is assure of its first winning record since that same season.

Five different Highlanders made multiple three-pointers in Wednesday’s 66-38 victory at Elmwood Park, which sends the team to No. 2 Mahwah for the quarterfinals. Senior guard Avery Vacca drained 4 threes en route to 14 points and joined Laurel Space (14) and Adison Arciniega (12) in scoring double digits.

Eastside stunned by No. 16

The surprise of Wednesday’s action happened in Paterson, where 16th seed Livingston (9-18) eliminated last year’s North 1, Group 4 runner-up. The Lancers rallied from a 22-15 halftime deficit to topple No. 1 seed Eastside, 40-37.

The Ghosts (20-5) ended with two straight losses after falling to Wayne Hills in the Passaic County final. They faced Livingston without guard Jianni Dickson, who got hurt late in the county title game, and “unsung hero” Jhy’Deisha Stewart also was limited by injury.

“Stewart tried to gut it out but couldn’t play much,” Eastside coach Brandon Pilgrim said.

The Lancers held a 41-32 advantage in rebounds to earn a quarterfinal meeting with No. 8 Passaic Tech.

Ridgewood rights the ship

The No. 11 seed in North 1, Group 4 also sprang an upset in Paterson, as Ridgewood (13-13) sank 7 three-pointers in a 48-26 victory at No. 6 Kennedy (16-11).

Sophomore Catie Klemm (15 points) and senior Alysha Arora (9) each made three shots from behind the arc, helping the Maroons pull away with a 17-1 second-quarter run. The win was their second straight after losing 5-of-6, and it sets up a quarterfinal trip to No. 3 West Orange.

Junior My’Shayla Clancy led the Knights 15 points, 8 rebounds and 4 steals.

Check back Thursday evening for analysis of North Jersey games involving Groups 1 and 3.
