Lioness V – The Timeless Family Yacht with a Heart (Monaco Yacht Show Review)

Lioness V – The Timeless Family Yacht with a Heart (Monaco Yacht Show Review)

There are yachts that impress you with their size, their shine, or their sheer engineering power. And then there are yachts like Lioness V — vessels that stay with you not because of their scale, but because of their soul.

During my visit at the Monaco Yacht Show, amid the polished giants and freshly launched flagships, Lioness V stood quietly confident. No loud statements, no exaggerated styling. Instead, she carried the unmistakable presence of a yacht that has truly lived — and has been loved.

In a harbor filled with newcomers, Lioness V felt like a beautifully crafted novel in a room full of glossy magazines.

TANKOA S501 “VERTIGE”

TANKOA S501 “VERTIGE” — A Masterpiece of Elegant Efficiency and Modern Italian Craftsmanship

When I toured the TANKOA S501 Vertige during the Monaco Yacht Show 2024, it was immediately clear why this yacht has become one of the most respected 50-meter platforms in the entire charter and private ownership segment. Built by Tankoa Yachts, a boutique Italian shipyard known for precision engineering and refined aesthetics, and represented by Ocean Independence, Vertige strikes a rare balance: she is undeniably luxurious, yet never loud; technologically advanced, yet intuitively human-centered.

From the moment I stepped on board, her proportions, silence, and layout logic made an impression that is difficult to replicate. Unlike many yachts that try to stand out through excess, Vertige stands out through restraint: clean architectural lines, timeless furniture choices, and a clever use of glass that brings the sea indoors without overwhelming the senses. This is an owner’s yacht, a designer’s yacht, and a traveler’s yacht all at once.

In this article, I’ll walk you through what makes Vertige extraordinary — from her performance credentials to her interior design philosophy, her charter potential, and her position as one of the most thoughtfully engineered 50-meter vessels in the world.

Sanlorenzo SP110: Open-Plan, High-Performance Mediterranean Yacht Built for Speed, Light and Freedom

The Sanlorenzo SP110 marks one of the most progressive steps in modern yacht design. When she premiered at the Monaco Yacht Show, she immediately stood out—not just for her sharp, aerodynamic profile but for a radically different spatial philosophy inside. SP110 is the first model in Sanlorenzo’s “Smart Performance” line, integrating advanced hydrodynamics, high-efficiency propulsion, and architectural interior design in a way that reshapes how a 33-meter yacht can feel.
