I need to tell you about the Highfield ADV 7! 🚤

I thought I knew my favourite rib in this size range but now… I’m not so sure! Help! 😱

This 7-metre beauty is everything you’d want in a boat – and then some. Whether you’re into adventure, family outings, or just chilling on the water, the ADV 7 has it all.

Here’s the low down 🤓
👉It’s got this deep-V hull with a 22° transom deadrise, which basically means you’ll feel like a pro slicing through the waves.
👉Two big sundecks, a 2m-wide internal beam, and a super-social aft area. Perfect for lounging, (cocktails!) chilling..
👉A galley for snacks, an optional toilet (essential!), and super easy water access with its clever stern platforms.
👉You can even tow it behind a regular family car – and I’m sold!

🖊️ Designed by some seriously talented folks at VOM Creations Yacht Design, Alpha Studio, and the legendary naval architect Andrej Justin this boat is a total head-turner. It looks sleek, feels spacious, and has so many cool features!

😮 They called the ADV7 a bold move – feels Beckham to me and I’m 100% here for it!

If you’re at boot Düsseldorf, you HAVE to check it out.

Trust me on this one!

✨ A super spacious upper deck, perfect for chilling!
✨ Fully customizable layouts. So flexible!
✨ Room for up to 8 guests, with clever design features everywhere you look.

❤️ It’s been a favourite ever since I first saw it in Southampton International Boat Show!

When I heard it was available to tour at boot Düsseldorf WOW!

😮 Ok - I just saw Honda’s new BF300 V8 engine, and it looks like an absolute machine!

💥 Honda is taking their marine game to the next level with this beauty. It’s all about power and style and making life on the water as smooth as possible!

Following the success of their V8 BF350 its time to meet the V8 BF300!

Here’s the low down 🤓
👉 A 5-litre 60 degree V8 engine with Honda’s renowned VTEC tech—you know it will take off like a rocket!
👉 From crazy-good torque - thanks to BLAST (Boosted Low Speed Torque) to fuel efficiency with ECOmo tech, this has everything! And when you want to go fast, the VTEC (Variable Valve Timing and Lift Electronic Control) kicks in for that extra boost.
👉 Sleek, modern, and available in Aquamarine Silver or Grand Prix White - it’s stunning! The 3D chrome logo - a vibe! Shaped to cut down on drag, it’s not just a pretty face!
👉 The new flush-mount control system is a game-changer. with its 7-inch touch display integrating Honda’s iST (Intelligent Shift and Throttle) Basically, spend less time messing with controls and more time having fun!

I promise you - This isn’t just another engine!

🇺🇸 60% of the market is governed by US buyers.

🤔 Has the unusually slow season been because this chunk of the market has been holding off waiting for the outcome of the election?

So what now….

Ok let’s start with the positives (as always 🤩) there’s a lot of talk about how Trump could extend provisions from the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (TCJA) past its 2025 expiry.
If that happens, we’re looking at some major tax breaks, which could lead to more disposable income for high-net-worth individuals
👋 Hello, superyacht sales!

BUT…

😧 There are some who are worried that Trump’s administration might bring back tariffs to protect American manufacturing. If tariffs are implemented, it could drive up the cost of imported materials, making yachts more expensive for consumers! Ar!

If costs go up, buyers might hesitate, and that could slow down new builds. 🤦‍♀️

Unfortunately even I don’t own a crystal ball 💁‍♀️
So, unfortunately it really is a bit of wait and see until the political landscape becomes clearer..

👀 Watch this space!

👋 Ok back again

📸 More NYC spam. 🤔 Is this review number 4?

No idea - what day is it even?

Oh we love to talk about “sustainability” in this industry don’t we?

🌍 GREEN
🌍 ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY
🌍 SUSTAINABILITY
🌍 REDUCED EMISSIONS
🌍 CARBON-FREE

These buzzwords were everywhere at 2024’s boat shows.

🤓 For many builders, improving efficiency and lowering emissions are realistic goals. Even without alternative fuel systems, builders are making strides by embracing efficient hull designs, lighter interiors, variable-speed gensets, waste heat recovery, batteries, smart HVAC systems, foils, vanes, and solar panels. More advanced setups like diesel-electric or hybrid propulsion also offer significant gains by replacing large main engines with variable-speed diesel generators that power everything from hotel loads to propellers.

🙄 But come on, let’s get real!

The numbers are still tiny. Out of 1,138 superyachts in this year’s Global Order Book, just 45 have hybrid setups, 36 are diesel-electric, and only eight are fully solar-powered. It’s clear the industry still has a long way to go.

💰 The reality is many builders lack the resources for extensive R&D, waiting instead for off-the-shelf solutions or client-funded projects.

Some examples, Feadship ‘s hydrogen fuel cell project. CEO henk de vries has committed to making all new Feadships hybrids of some kind.

Lürssen is exploring methanol reformers for fuel cells.
Sanlorenzo Yacht is working on a 50-metre yacht with a methanol system set to debut in 2027. The yard has already delivered a hydrogen-powered foiling chase boat for the US America’s Cup team.

😬 Greenwashing makes me nervous!

The progress is undeniable, but the numbers show we’re only scratching the surface.
Sustainability in superyachting is no longer a far out dream—it’s a work in progress.

❓ The question is, are we working quick enough to can turn these promising innovations into industry standards?

Hope you are enjoying my reviews!
