November is a key month in the yachting calendar, as luxury charter yachts are taken out of the water for maintenance and refurbishment after their busy summer schedule in time for the Winter Caribbean season. We have already seen MI SUENO’s recent maintenance work at the ground breaking Rybovich centre and ECLIPSE has followed suit after her recent maintenance work at the Fincantieri shipyard. ECLIPSE, a 162.5m motor yacht is the world’s largest super yacht and took 70 workers and four weeks to complete at the Trieste San Marco shipyard.

Fincantieri are continuing with the construction of a second super yacht at its Muggiano facility, following the release of the 134m SERENE and the 140m VICTORY in 2011. Three concept projects are in the process of being released by Fincantieri, including the 88m VIRAGE88. the 145m FORTISSIMO which features a gas turbine by Ken Freivoch and the 142m ARMONIA, styled by Andrea Vallicelli.

O’MEGA is one of our favourite luxury crewed super yachts that is available for charter in the Mediterranean and is the ideal choice for exploring the natural beauty of the French and Italian Rivieras. She accommodates up to 30 guests in 15 cabins, allowing you to take all of your closest family and friends, as well as having great space to entertain them.
