It’s time to pack for the first of many (many!) flights! ✈️

Normally I’d hate this task but I’m actually pretty excited this year….. 🤩

Mainly because these Henri Lloyd clothes are actually UNREAL! ❤️

Totally kitted out for the show season! 💁‍♀️

Thanks Henri-Lloyd 🙏

💪 The UK has landed its biggest-ever warship export deal, sending five Type 26 frigates to the Norwegian Navy.

This is a major boost for UK jobs, with 4,000 roles supported, many at BAE Systems in Glasgow!

What does this mean?
🔹Firstly, a stronger NATO with 13 anti-submarine frigates keeping an eye on the North Atlantic and Russian submarines.
🔹But also, (and I love this bit!) world-class shipbuilding right on the Clyde.

Some critics in Norway prefer other options, of course they do, (🇫🇷 😬) but this deal puts the UK front and center, showcasing the talent of British shipbuilders and our role as a global defence leader!

Deliveries will start by 2029!

Let’s do it UK! 🇬🇧

🎤 BOATBUILDING NEWS: ON TOUR! 🎥

The Boatbuilding News tour is almost underway and I’m SO excited to be heading to some of the most iconic shows in the superyacht and marine calendar this year. ✈️

From champagne-fuelled catch ups to behind-the-scenes interviews with the industry’s biggest names, I’ll be bringing all the stories, insights and sparkle straight from the shows to you. ✨

📍Tour dates are on the poster - with maybe one more surprise location to be added 👀

If you’re exhibiting, launching something exciting, or just fancy chatting all things yachts, craftsmanship and the future of boatbuilding, I’d LOVE to connect! 🙌

Here’s to a season of superyachts, show floors, and seriously good conversations.

Lets do it! 💥

🤷‍♀️ I don’t usually feel the need to explain the content I put out, I’m unapologetically myself and always aim to keep things as real as possible.

Authenticity is everything to me. 💁‍♀️

BUT , I did want to take a moment to talk about that recent video of the electric outboard boat test (which, by the way, is absolutely amazing — highly recommend if you get the chance to try it!).

The video looks fast, fun, and full of energy, and that’s kind of the point. It’s been edited, sped up, set to music… you know the drill. We wanted to capture attention and make the product, and the industry, look exciting. That’s literally my job. 🤓

In reality, the boat was mainly tested within the safety of a harbour, and we spent very little time at any kind of serious speed. I had a full team with me on board, and we had a chase boat alongside the whole time.

Also, yes, I’m aware I’m not wearing a life jacket in the video. Not ideal, I know. Safety is something I take seriously, always. I’ve spent enough time on the water to know how quickly things can go wrong.

The kill cord was on and properly attached the whole time, and I put a lot of trust in the people I work with out there. I trust my team with my life, I was never in any danger. 😮‍💨

⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️

That said… I’m actually looking for a new life jacket. So if anyone’s got a favourite or a solid recommendation, send it my way! 🙌

⬆️⬆️⬆️⬆️

My final note, there are people behind social media profiles. 🙏 🙏 🙏

To sum up….

⭐️ The outboard? Incredible.
⭐️ The video? A bit of fun.
⭐️ The reality? Safe, controlled, and done with a lot of respect for the water and the people around me.

Thanks to everyone who’s messaged and commented across all platforms, I always appreciate the feedback. 😘

If it’s a new explorer I just know I’ll LOVE it!

🚨 Numarine launches New 40MXP flagship explorer superyacht 🚨

Built for those who want to explore the world and enjoy the Mediterranean lifestyle, the 40MXP is the amazing 37XP with new design features including:

❤️ An extended aft deck with glass-transom pool
❤️ Alfresco dining, bar, and lounge area
❤️ Full-beam hydraulic swim platform
❤️ Transatlantic capability with a 6,000 nm range at 8 knots

Retaining the explorer ethos of the XP line, the 40MXP also offers:

❤️ Six-suite accommodation for up to 12 guests
❤️ A full-beam master on the main deck
❤️ Vast tender and toy storage, plus a generous flybridge

🖊️ Built with performance in mind by naval architect Umberto Tagliavini and styled by Can Yalman

🌍 This yacht can cruise the the Med in comfort but is solid enough to cross oceans, with two more units already in build and deliveries set for 2025!

Spotted…. 👀

The mystery is starting to lift around the 100-metre Feadship 824, as she was seen out on sea trials in the North Sea!

🕵️‍♀️ She quietly left the Feadship Amsterdam facility last week for a river run along the Noordzeekanaal, and now she’s stretching her legs properly for the first time.

Launched just this past May, she’s been a closely guarded secret since construction began back in 2021.

The first real glimpse came in September 2023, when she was transported through the Netherlands to Feadship’s Royal Van Lent Kaag facility, loved seeing that!

Some highlights:
🔹 I love the exterior design by Jarkko Jämsén (Aivan)
🔹 In-house naval architecture beautifully done by De Voogt
🔹 Built with a steel hull and aluminium superstructure(by Bayards)
🔹 Inside is an unreal cascading aft staircase - seriously stunning!

Feadship is keeping tight-lipped about the details, but the apparently is she’s around 3,000 GT in volume.

Another incredible build from the Feadship team, can’t wait to see more of this! 👀
