Now that we’re ending the first full week of the New Year, you’ve probably heard and read your share of “year in review” stories. But what about the year ahead? In the yacht world, there’s plenty to look forward to. Here’s a sampling of just some of the most anticipated deliveries coming within the next several months:

Sycara V. Yes, a fifth yacht is in the works for Americans Ray and Elsie Catena. They’re not disappointed in their new Burger; rather, they commissioned this one, illustrated above, while the Burger was under construction, and they have this one for sale. Measuring 68 meters (223 feet), Sycara V is being built at Nobiskrug. Styling and interior design is from Craig Beal, and highlights include a light-tone interior, bridge-deck owner’s suite, and accommodations for 12 guests. She should be finished in March. Asking price: €75 million (about $107.6 million).

J24. With accommodations for 14 in the owner’s party plus 26 crew/staff, J24 won’t be ready until autumn, but once this Lürssen is, she’ll keep people comfortable. The 45-foot beam and 280-foot LOA should see to that. Interesting enough, the guest staterooms are spread over three decks, while the owners get a duplex that includes private access to sunpads and a Jacuzzi. Andrew Winch is responsible for the styling and interior design.

Pestifer. Referred to by Feadship as Hull 680, this yacht is nearing completion at Royal De Vries. Measuring 65 meters (213 feet), she replaces a 50-meter (164-foot) same-named yacht built by CRN. Naval architecture is courtesy of De Voogt Naval Architects, with styling by Clifford Denn. The interior, a collaboration between the owners and François Zuretti, “harks back to the glory days of yachting with a 21st-century execution,” according to Feadship. The crew-to-guest ratio should ensure no one lacks for anything: 3 to 1 (24 crew, eight guests).

Kokomo. Alloy Yachts will be delivering Kokomo in a little over a month, in time for her owners to view the Louis Vuitton Trophy from her decks in March. She’s pictured here, shortly after she splashed late last year. She measures 58.4 meters (about 192 feet) and marks the second time these owners have worked with Alloy, having taken delivery of their first Kokomo, a frequent cruiser and regatta participant, in 2006. Interior design is by Redman Whiteley Dixon.

CII. Another repeat teaming of an owner and builder, this motoryacht should be completed by HJB in May. She’s the successor to Cassiopeia, measuring 42 meters (about 138 feet) and will be similar in style, though featuring much more interior detailing. Her classic looks come from Bill Langan. She’s made all the more notable because HJB has mostly concentrated on sailing craft since opening its doors in 1996. In fact, Cassiopeia was the yard’s first power craft.

Mi Sueno. Also known by her hull number, T045, this 190-footer is at Trinity Yachts’ facility in Gulfport, Mississippi, and she’s also for sale, for $54.8 million. The all-aluminum yacht has panoramic views from the owner’s suite forward on the main deck. One of the four guest staterooms is also handicapped-accessible, as is the elevator connecting three decks. Interior design is by Patrick Knowles.

Amels 212. Part of the Amels Limited Editions series, the 212 was conceived as a high-volume yacht. Hull number one, whose name is being kept anonymous by the yard, is expected to be delivered within a few months. Andrew Winch is overseeing the interior design for the seven staterooms – which includes a bridge-deck VIP suite – gym, and other gathering areas, while Tim Heywood created the styling. The 212 should see a top end of 17 knots and a cruise speed around 13 knots.

Cakewalk. Practically every time this yacht is mentioned, it’s done so with the fact that Cakewalk will be the largest yacht to be built on American soil since the 1930s. Derecktor Shipyards’ facility in Connecticut is a few months from delivering the 281-footer. All six staterooms are above decks, and the owners have a private saloon/theater in their suite, along with a gym. The owners are stepping up from a 204’5” Feadship.

Y705. Oceanco is withholding the name of this 85.47-meter (280-foot) yacht, at the owner’s request. However, plenty of details are permitted for public knowledge, such as the bridge-deck lounge being able to serve as a disco, complete with lights. The owner’s suite features two balconies, plus a study that can serve as a guest stateroom if needed. There’s also a “sea terrace” entry near the crew-level VIP stateroom, a second formal entryway. Sadly, the late Björn Johansson didn’t live to see his teal-hulled design come to fruition, but no doubt the following video, made for Oceanco, would have made him proud of his accomplishments he would be proud.
