The exteriors of the Magellano 30M are designed by Ken Freivokh. The vision that guided his design of the lines was to create an object of timeless, exquisite beauty. Destined for long-range cruising, she combines comfort and safety with high bulwarks and large windows to ensure constant contact with the beauty of the sea.

FLOODED BY LIGHT AND SOAKING IN CHARM

The unique main deck master basks in the wonders of two full-height windows. A perfect playground for the abundant natural light, from the unusually shaped furnishings to the fine and rich materials, every detail contributes to an environment far beyond traditional conceptions, yet warmly welcoming with an aura of organic wellbeing.

OUR ADVANCED TOOLKIT

Azimut-TF Carena-Eng

AZIMUT DUAL MODE HULL

The Dual Mode hull is a highly efficient semi-planing hull designed to reduce fuel consumption and CO2 emissions by up to 20% at medium speeds* , guaranteeing superior navigation comfort in a wider range of sea conditions. The double-chine hull, combined with the vertical bow, minimizes the impact of waves and thus offers greater freedom of navigation, cruising comfortably at low speeds for extended durations as well as at higher speeds.

*compared to vessels of the same weight and size with a traditional hard-chine hull

Azimut_TF-Magellano30M_Zero-Emission-Hotel-Mode

A 130kW/h lithium-ion battery pack can support the yacht’s hotel load for up to 4 hours during the day and up to 8 hours at night. Now, it’s possible to enjoy the full superyacht experience without the noise, vibration and emissions of the generators, making daytime activities more pleasant and nighttime relaxation more peaceful.

Azimut_TF_Air-treatment

A UTA air extraction system continuously refreshes and treats the onboard environments. The staterooms below deck benefit in particular from the continuous flow of clean air from the outside, filtered to eliminate the majority of airborn particles and odors.

30 meter yachts

30m -40m (98' – 131') Luxury Yachts For Sale

Why 30 - 40 metre yachts are the most popular size category, the sweet spot of yachting.

30-40m superyachts strike a balance in size that appeals especially to families and small groups. They require fewer crew members, usually five to six, allowing for a more personal and high-quality service experience while maintaining privacy. This size range is also more economical to operate, with lower fuel consumption, maintenance costs, and berthing fees than larger yachts. They comfortably accommodate eight to ten guests, providing both communal and private spaces, making them an ideal choice for those who value intimate, yet social settings.

VERSATILE OPTIONS

Providing a broad spectrum of designs due to intense competition among builders, this size bracket offers everything from mini explorers to fast open yachts tailored for thrill-seekers, along with a variety of hull types like planing, semi-displacement, and displacement. Each hull type caters to different preferences: planing hulls are best for speed, displacement hulls enhance comfort and range, and semi-displacement offers a balance of both. Additionally, this size is prevalent among sailing yachts, ideal for those looking to join the sailing community or participate in regattas.

PEDIGREE BUILDS

Most 30-40 metre yachts for sale are production or semi-custom builds, though full-custom options are still available. This allows for considerable personalisation, especially in the interior design, making it easier to tailor a yacht to personal tastes. The market is rich with esteemed builders, offering a variety of choices. Notable shipyards producing yachts in this bracket include Azimut, Benetti , Ferretti, Gulf Craft, Heesen , Mangusta, Perini Navi, Sanlorenzo , Sunseeker , and Baltic , each known for their distinct style and quality craftsmanship.

NAVIGATIONAL FREEDOM

Like their smaller counterparts, 30-40m superyachts can access most anchorages and cruising grounds, making them ideal for exploring diverse coastlines and docking in scenic marinas. Their size allows them to navigate shallower waters, such as in the Exumas , or cosy Mediterranean marinas with fewer restrictions than larger yachts which often have to cruise and anchor further offshore.

Case in point are the anchoring regulations and buoy camps used in key areas around the South of France and Corsica . Used to minimise the damage caused to Posidonia seagrass when anchoring they primarily cater to 24-40 metre yachts. Thus, vessels above 40 metres have to anchor further offshore and seek authorisation, resulting in limited access to some of the most scenic destinations in the Mediterranean.

UNCOMPROMISED LUXURY

30-40 metre yachts for sale deliver uncompromised luxury and comfort. Typically featuring four to five cabins, they offer ample space and privacy for 8 to 10 guests. Interior designs vary by style but generally include well-appointed, inviting living areas and generous outdoor spaces. Many yachts in this size also come with added luxuries such as Jacuzzis, enhancing the onboard experience. This size range achieves functional living with elegant aesthetics, and a deeper connection to the sea than many larger yachts, making this size bracket a preferred choice for those seeking a blend of comfort and luxury at sea.

Kohuba: The 30 metre man cave from Princess Yachts

Some superyachts hide their true nature with conventional white exteriors and timeless lines that, while handsome, give absolutely nothing away as to what lies within or how they will be used. The new Princess 30M Kohuba is not one of these yachts. For a clue to her ethos one has only to look up at the flybridge, where you’ll often find a motorcycle perched at the very edge, encased in a custom-made glass box like a rare collector’s item on display for all to see.

Hints that this is one big boy’s toy are far more subtle once you’re inside, but Kohuba has already revealed her hand. Refined masculinity rather than dark man-cave won out for the interior as the Princess Design Studio guided the owner’s vision for a smoking room motif and lightened it considerably. From the custom-made motorcycle enclosure to the bespoke design process, UK builder Princess Yachts has proved once again that it means business with its semi-custom M Class range.

Kohuba is the first Princess 30M, the smallest in Princess’s semi-custom fleet, falling in line behind the World Superyacht Award -winning 35M, launched just last year, and the 40M. The 30M replaces the 32M in the series and stands apart from its predecessor in more than just length overall, boasting an entirely new hull design, more practical layout and larger tender garage.

“Princess Yachts asked us to design a new yacht for the M Class range,” says Justin Olesinski, managing director at Bernard Olesinski Ltd , Princess’s long-time collaborator. “It had to have the potential to be an owner-operated craft with a sub-24 metre load-line length, with all the advantages of a larger yacht.”

Olesinski developed the naval architecture, propulsion, exterior design and interior layout for the 30M, incorporating large-yacht features and familial traits shared among all Princess yachts. Like her sisters, the 30M has refined, dynamic lines, accentuated by her dark blue hull. Even at 30 metres, she employs big custom superyacht features including expansive glazing, an optional balcony, sizeable tender garage and engine room, lifting swim platform and crew accommodation set forward.

The 30M is intended as a volume driver for Princess. The yacht can be constructed swiftly and the yard has ambitious plans to build six to nine a year — and eventually up to 12. “It takes six to eight months to build a 30M, depending on specifications,” says George Edwards, M Class technical sales executive. “One thing that allows us to build this boat at such speed is we built it modular. The whole lower deck is modular — the crew cabin and each set of cabins is three modules that are built in a separate building to the boat.”

This not only allows the various teams to get their jobs done without getting in one another’s way, but it’s what helps to make the boat so quiet, because each module is then fitted on anti-vibration polymer foam, much like a floating interior found on larger superyachts.

“It’s an interesting proposition for us. The 30M is between a motor yacht and the [larger] M Class yachts,” says Princess’s marketing director Kiran Haslam, noting that the next yacht below is the 26 metre Princess 88 Motor Yacht . “There’s a dynamic happening in the world, with people wanting to get more out of less. It stands to reason people want to get more out of a smaller package with yachts, too, and we’re doing that.”

At 30.45 metres length overall, the 30M is a sweet spot for an owner who is ready to go a little bigger and enter a different world of superyacht comfort, styling and customisation, yet still get their boat quickly. Kohuba has twin MTU 16V 2000 M94s, which offer a maximum speed of 25 to 27 knots.

Kohuba ’s owner, stepping up from his current Princess 72, is a prime example. Where his 72 had quite a dark interior, the Princess Design Studio interpreted his brief for masculine, Scandinavian design on Kohuba and imbued it with pale tones, creating a sophisticated, light-filled space.

The interior is a well executed blend of dark woods, deep blue leathers with greys and beige soft goods. There is a prevalence of glossy walnut — high gloss is making a comeback at the moment as Princess attests it’s the most popular choice among owners.

“He didn’t want to deviate much from our original design, more tweak and add some of his own personal style,” says Haslam. “For instance, the client changed the forward dinette bulkhead fretwork, that was handmade in Japan, from the standard grey to a more moody dark brown finish and matched the dining chairs in colour to create quite a masculine feel in this area.”

The owner also specified some rare stones for the main deck sideboards, inlaid rugs on the main deck and a dark wenge timber floor. Tactile materials are used skilfully — for example, the feature wall in the lower deck foyer has Venetian plasterwork crafted by artisans in London and bespoke to Kohuba .

At first glance the lower deck layout seems standard, with two doubles and two twins opening off a foyer, but the rooms feel much larger than you’d expect on a 30 metre yacht. The huge picture-box windows can be thanked for this, as can the well proportioned en suites, and each cabin has a small desk, ideal for work or beauty routines.

What’s especially clever is the twin cabins are convertible to doubles with the inboard bed sliding outboard, electrically operated by the touch of a button. This versatility is ideal for chartering, which Kohuba will be doing.

The uniformity of the layout is much appreciated compared with the 32M. “Anyone who knows the 32M knows the layout was a bit odd,” says Edwards. “You went downstairs, then had a cabin to the left, one off to the right, then a corridor going back, then two other cabins; it was bit disjointed. Here it’s a nice big open lobby and four equal-size cabins. You don’t have to pick your favourite guest.”

The best berth in the house is the main deck master cabin , of course (and what a master for a 30 metre!) An enormous skylight, which can be closed by electric blinds, and large windows let plentiful light in, giving the space a penthouse vibe. The bulwarks outside are angled to match the shape of the master windows, providing undisturbed views, while the deck level itself is high enough that anyone passing on the way to the foredeck can’t actually see into the master, ensuring privacy.

There’s a “man cave” touch here, too: a bar and fridge is built into the port side by the bed for that very necessary nightcap. The floating table to starboard is inspired by private jet interiors and the chairs are loose but sculpted to be slid perfectly into place. Both pieces are created in-house by Princess.

The yard also designed the motorcycle display unit, created to blend with the yacht’s standard design features. The owner wanted to be able to show off his motorcycle at events in the Mediterranean and offload it easily to take to the road at ports around the world. Made of double-curvature glass and glass-reinforced plastic with stainless steel supports, the case is visually pleasing and practical. It can be lifted via a crane on the aft deck and set on the deck. The case opens and the bike rolls out. The case then transforms into a bar for dockside entertaining.

The bike can be used when the yacht charters, or it can stay on shore. When the motorcycle and its case aren’t on board, rails are inserted into the aft deck and the space can instead host a Jet Ski.

To accommodate the glass case, the flybridge was redesigned with the superyacht spa pool turned athwartships to make room. There are two L-shaped settees forward of this, facing a TV screen that raises from behind the helm seats so the entire flybridge can be transformed into an outdoor cinema.

The 30M was held to the same high standards as her sisterships when it came to performance — and then some. “The 30M is designed to get up on the plane at much lower speeds and be much more efficient compared to the 32M,” says Edwards.

The hull lines were developed using Olesinski’s unique Hull & Hydro software. “The state-of-the-art hull form was optimised using the latest in computational fluid dynamic techniques, a series of towing tank tests and with reference to our extensive database of successful designs,” says Olesinski.

“We achieved a balance between maximum long-range cruising efficiency without compromising top speed or the quality of the ride.” Her official top speed may be 27 knots but on sea trials Kohuba exceeded that, and on journeys facing swells of four metres she has proven to be stable and comfortable.

This bodes well for an owner who plans to use his new toy often with family and his big group of friends, some of whom tagged along on the many occasions he visited the yard during build. “I have not known an owner to come to the shipyard as much as he did,” says Edwards.

“He just really enjoyed the experience of looking at his boat in process, talking about the specifications and seeing how it was coming along. And every time he came there was a new friend in the group!” Now the boys can enjoy the finished product and never have to choose between boat or bike — when both are ready for adventure.

Filippetti Navetta 30: sailing in total harmony with sea

The trawler: the ideal option for all those who love and respect the sea.

Filippetti Navetta 30 is designed to enjoy a responsible sailing experience in harmony with the sea.

Built with eco-sustainable materials, this 30-meter yacht is a perfect long-range cruiser with very low environmental impact, displacing hull, low emissions and exceptional water and fuel capacity.

THE OWNER FIRST

The main focus of the Filippetti Navetta 30 project is on the owner. Spaces are arranged and customised around the owner’s needs for a totally relaxing sailing experience. However, this long-range cruiser is not only designed for comfort: aesthetics is important, too. Two different layouts and a custom interior configuration make this yacht unique and inimitable. The owner can choose between two versions, with 5 or 6 cabins. The latter even includes an upper deck that is exclusively reserved for the owner. In both versions, the master cabin enjoys a breath-breaking panoramic view.

A VERY BRIGHT LONG-RANGE CRUISER

Light is one among the main features of the Filippetti Navetta 30 . In the bow, where the large owner area is accommodated, the enveloping windows flood the interiors with an incredible amount of natural light, offering an ample panoramic view.

A WELLNESS OASIS ON BOARD

Travelling on board the Filippetti Navetta 30 is synonymous with relax and quiet. The Owner Suite can house a SPA area with jacuzzi, steam bath and an extraordinarily large shower or  a private Gym. The bathroom is decorated with fine marble details and customizable according to the owner’s needs. Guests can relax on the large terrace on the upper deck: the ideal place to enjoy the sun and the distant view between sea and sky.

Ship Security Team Appears To Detonate Explosive-Laden Houthi Drone Boat With Gunfire

As the Houthi uncrewed surface vessel (USV) steadily approached the Liberian-flagged container ship Pumba in the Red Sea, its security crew fired about two dozen shots in about 14 seconds from their Steyr rifles . Video emerging from that encounter showed after the last of those shots, the USV exploded. The scenario, which took place July 20 in the Red Sea, offers a textbook example of how to defeat these threats, a maritime security expert told us.

“They are well-trained and followed the correct [standard operating procedures] SOPs, the expert told The War Zone . “They were a correctly equipped and armed security team.”

The USV blew up about 30 meters (about 99 feet) off the port side quarter, causing no damage, according to a timeline shared by the expert, who had first-hand knowledge of the attack. However, the “SOPs don’t really cover the distance aspect as you have to take into account the different weapons systems. Warning shots and escalation to lethal shots are important.”

The 138-second video posted on Twitter opens with the security team spotting the Iranian-backed rebel group’s USV several hundred yards off the port side quarter. As it got closer, that team, comprised of men from India, cocked their rifles and then opened fire before the USV got too close. While it appears that one of the shots caused the USV to explode, it is also possible that it was command-detonated or even exploded by accident.

The reaction of the Pumba’s security team stands in stark contrast to how the one aboard the M/V Tutor reacted last month to an approaching Houthi USV. That incident marked the first time one of the Houthi USVs successfully attacked a vessel during the Yemen-based rebel group’s current campaign launched in the wake of the Israel-Hamas war.

In a video that emerged at the time, one of the embarked security team members is seen looking at the USV through binoculars while two of them held their Hecker and Koch G3 rifles pointing inexplicably straight up instead of at the approaching threat. The three watched as it steadily came closer for about 30 seconds. The video cut away before the USV impacted. The video did not show the resulting explosion but instead cut to the security personnel racing to the bridge and the panicked crew inside trying to figure out what to do next.

You can see video of that incident below:

The USV that exploded before it could damage the Pumba was just part of a long and complex attack on the container ship, according to the timeline provided to us. It began about 64 nautical miles northwest of Al Mukha, Yemen shortly before 7 a.m. local time.

An aerial drone exploded between five and 10 meters (about 16.5 to 33 feet) off the starboard side, causing minor damage to containers on deck and starting a small fire that the crew was able to control. An unnamed coalition warship responded and assisted.

About 90 minutes later, the Pumba was approached by three skiffs, two of which were crewed and one uncrewed. This is the incident seen in the video.

What isn’t seen is that a Houthi missile exploded five meters off the starboard side, causing no damage. There were also two UAVs sighted close to the vessel.

Shortly after 8 a.m., a second Houthi missile was launched but exploded before reaching the Pumba . The crew could hear an explosion but were unable to determine exactly how far it was because of poor visibility. They estimated it landed about 30 to 50 meters (about 99 to 164 feet) away.

About three hours later, the Company Security Officer reported that one missile hit the water approximately 100 meters (about 330 feet) from the Pumba ’s starboard side. That’s when the crew discovered a hole about six meters (about 20 feet) above the waterline in Pumba ’s stern, resulting from one of the multiple attacks but unclear which one. It didn’t cause any issues with the ship’s stability or pollution concerns. There were no injuries and only minor damage. The Pumba then returned to its next port of call.

While the Houthis pioneered the operational use of kamikaze USVs  years ago in their fight against the Saudis and damaged one of their frigates , Ukraine has taken USV use to a new level. A nation without a fleet of warships of its own, Ukraine effectively pinned down Russia’s Black Sea Feet (BSF) in part due to a series of drone boat attacks against vessels and port infrastructure that began with a massive attack on Sevastopol in October 2022. Ukraine also used USVs to attack the Kerch Bridge , Vladimir Putin’s prized $4 billion span linking Russia with the Crimean peninsula it illegally occupies. Ukrainian USVs have achieved success despite Russian efforts to counter them with improvements to port security and ship-board defenses opening up on them. The ability of Ukrainian drone boats to conduct their attacks shows how hard it is to hit small and swift-moving USVs.

You can see one of those Ukrainian drone boat attacks in the following video:

Ukraine released a video from today’s attack on Sevastopol. It shows a naval drone targeting the Black Sea Fleet’s Admiral Makarov Project 11356 frigate, which Russian sources said was damaged (it replaced the Moskva as the Black Sea Fleet’s flagship). https://t.co/zdAeWUvDrb pic.twitter.com/TNnIu4OIap — Rob Lee (@RALee85) October 29, 2022

With Ukraine’s success, proliferation of similar capabilities around the globe is now occurring. Meanwhile the Houthis are making improvements on their designs too, and are ramping up their drone boat attacks as part of a multi-domain campaign against shipping in the Red Sea region.

The attack on the Pumba comes as U.S. officials have expressed growing concern about the inability to thwart the Houthis despite an international effort. In response to the ongoing attacks in the Red Sea region, the U.S. Navy and Air Force in October began fighting back against the Houthi. The U.S. and several allies have conducted attacks on Houthi assets in Yemen as well as against their missiles, air and sea drones launched against shipping . There are also two international task forces created to protect shipping, the U.S.-led Operation Prosperity Guardian and the European-led Operation Aspides . Yet the threat persists.

Army Gen. Erik Kurilla, commander of U.S. Central Command, “recently advised in a classified letter to Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin that military operations in the region are ‘failing to deter Houthi attacks on shipping in the Red Sea and that a broader approach is needed,” The Wall Street Journal recently reported , citing U.S. officials.

CENTCOM has been asked to prepare a broader list of potential targets, including specific militants, for possible strikes, the Journal reported.

“Some U.S. officials say, however, that more could have already been done to better protect the commercial shipping, including hitting larger weapons-storage facilities, targeting Houthi leaders and picking targets with a somewhat higher potential casualty count,” the publication stated.

On the same day the Pumba was attacked, Israel carried out a long-distance strike on Houthi facilities in Yemen, hitting fuel storage and other infrastructure the crucial port in the western coastal city of Hudaydah (also written Hodeida) on the Red Sea. The following video, posted by the Israeli Defense Forces, shows that strike in progress.

Israel, retaliating for a deadly Houthi drone attack on Tel Aviv a day earlier, said the target set was selected because it directly facilitates weapons transfers from Iran to the Houthis. Israel’s decision to decimate the fuel reserves in Hudaydah and take out the only two large overhead cranes at the port was clearly focused on sending a deterrent message. The port, however, plays a far greater role than just helping the Houthis. The United Nations has said in the past that approximately 80 percent of all humanitarian aid and the majority of all foreign imports into Yemen pass through this port. You can read more about that here .

The following video shows damage to the port days later.

That strike lowered the bar in responses to Houthi attacks. Whether the U.S. and allies follow suit with more intense attacks than they have carried out so far remains to be seen.
