- Sanlorenzo is to become a minority shareholder in PNC, which intends to take over the operational activities of the insolvent Italian Sea Group.
- The non-binding offer covers only the operational business, excluding debt; ongoing yacht-building contracts will require separate negotiations.
- TISG is subject to court-supervised reorganisation proceedings; board members have resigned, and a capital increase of around 100 million euros is being considered.

The Italian Sea Group: Sanlorenzo plans to invest

- “Matilde 7” is the first 33.5-metre vessel in Antonini Navi’s Seamore 34 steel series under 500 GT, with an interior volume of 299 GT.  
- Design: Hydro Tec is responsible for the exterior and construction in a workboat-crossover style, whilst Hot Lab has designed a light-filled interior.  
- Performance figures: 10 kn cruising speed, 14 kn top speed, range of over 4,300 sm, very low noise levels (39.2 dB(A) in the owner’s cabin).

- ‘Sigurna plovidba 2026’ targeted inspection campaign: 382 inspections, 182 breaches, fines totalling 79,208.49 euros, 115 staff members on 35 boats
- Checks included documentation, crew numbers, certificates of competence, passenger numbers, CIMIS reports, charter arrangements, wastewater and the behaviour of swimmers and divers
- More offences than in 2025 (133 out of 355 inspections); the operation also served as a preventive and educational measure in view of the rising number of vessels in the Adriatic

- Lengers Yachts B.V. ceased trading on 28 July 2026 and filed for insolvency; the Lengers Group remains in business.
- The reasons for this include a decline in demand following the pandemic-driven boom, increased stock levels, pressure on margins, and high financing, interest and fixed costs.
- An insolvency administrator is now reviewing the company’s assets, liabilities and options for continuing operations or selling off individual business units.

Shipyard News: Dutch yacht dealer Lengers Yachts has gone into administration

- With its Large Yacht Collection, ISA Yachts is developing customisable large yachts based on tried-and-tested platforms in a range of sizes.
- The first project is the Amarcord 82 by Nuvolari Lenard, part of the Large Yacht Collection by Palumbo Superyachts in Ancona.

Pros and cons: Are outboard motors a good option even on large boats?

- The choice of bow motor depends primarily on the size of the boat, the waters in which it will be used, comfort requirements and the necessary power reserves, rather than on the brand.
- 12-volt systems such as Minn Kota PowerDrive/Terrova are suitable for lighter boats and moderate conditions; whilst 24/36-volt systems are preferable in windier conditions, for heavier loads and with more intensive use.
- High-end and specialist solutions such as Minn Kota Ulterra, Ultrex QUEST, Garmin Force/Force Pro/Kraken and Lowrance Recon/Ghost X cater to comfort, performance and large-boat requirements.

Retrofitting Smartdock: Technology, Price, Safety

- Smartdock enables app control of the engine and bow thruster, making harbour manoeuvres easier, particularly for solo sailors and small crews.  
- In testing, the system responds instantly, is intuitive to use and allows the helmsman to position themselves freely, providing a better view of the harbour.  
- Smartdock makes the final few centimetres of manoeuvring easier, but it is no substitute for good seamanship and does not make anyone a better skipper.

- A stranding occurs when wind, waves or currents drive a boat that is unable to manoeuvre inexorably towards the coast, groynes, weirs or other obstacles.  
- Motorboats are particularly at risk due to their reliance on their propulsion system and risks such as a ‘dog’s turn’, an incorrect anchorage, an empty fuel tank or an engine that is too weak.  
- Maintaining a safe distance, consistently monitoring your position, planning your route and fuel consumption with foresight, keeping the anchor ready for use and making early emergency calls significantly reduce the risk of being driven ashore.

​Stranding: Just how dangerous is Legerwall for motorboats?

- Anni and Sven pass their SBF inland waterways licence and set off on their first weekend trip alone in their boat, the ‘Späte Liebe’.
- On Lake Müritz, they help a motorboat in distress whose propeller is blocked by a rope that has fallen into the water.
- Ironically, after successfully coming to the other boat’s aid, the engine of their own ‘Späte Liebe’ breaks down.

Column: The first trip after passing the recreational boat licence exam

- On the Moselle, 21 participants worked in rotating groups to practise lock and harbour manoeuvres intensively using various motorboats.  
- The focus was on practical exercises in large and small locks alongside large vessels, as well as radio communication, fender positioning, line handling and behaviour within the lock chamber.  
- A safety training course provided by Pantaenius on emergencies at sea, fire, life jackets, life rafts, man overboard (MOB) manoeuvres and signal flares complemented the practical boating training.

- The DSV is calling on sailors to take part in an expanded anti-fouling survey in order to ensure that the needs of recreational boating are reflected in regulations.  
- The results of the ten-minute survey, comprising 26 questions, will be incorporated into the Biofouling Management Conference on 1–2 October 2026 on Norderney.  
- The UBA Fouling Atlas and the BSH e-learning course with video provide in-depth information on antifouling, biofouling, invasive species, environmental impact and cleaning methods.

CURRENT IN THE BOAT MARKET

- During the laying of offshore submarine cables near Norderney, a Dutch wooden shipwreck dating back some 300 years was discovered.
- Visible parts of the wreck have been recovered and are being documented archaeologically; the remainder, which remains in the seabed, is being left in situ for its protection.
- The find is considered significant for our understanding of shipbuilding and seafaring during that era; according to the operator, the cable-laying schedule remains unchanged.

Norderney: Shipwreck dating back over 300 years discovered

- Off the coast of the island of Šolta, a 46-year-old Austrian skipper fell overboard from a charter catamaran during a storm.
- A large-scale search involving six vessels, an aeroplane, helicopters, drones and a PAN-PAN radio distress call has been underway since Sunday morning.
- The remaining six-member crew were unharmed; a stand-in skipper brought the catamaran to a safe harbour; the man remains missing.

Distress at sea: Skipper falls overboard off Šolta – search for missing person continues

Distress at sea 

- In Vinišće Bay, men in a rubber dinghy collect anchorage fees, sometimes using pressure and issuing only handwritten receipts.  
- Legally, the harbour authority is permitted to charge mooring fees there, but the lack of official receipts and threats of fines are seen as warning signs.  
- Experts advise asking to see identification, a price list and a QR receipt, and, if in doubt, contacting the harbour master’s office or the water police to verify the person’s identity.

- Vibrio bacteria are found in warm Baltic Sea and brackish water; infections are rare but can be fatal in people with underlying health conditions.  
- The risk increases at water temperatures of 20 degrees and above, in shallow water, harbours and lagoons; wounds are the main points of entry.  
- Protection: Clean and cover any wounds, wear water shoes; if symptoms develop, contact a doctor immediately and mention any contact with water; AI drones provide early warnings.

Vibrio bacteria in the Baltic Sea: What water sports enthusiasts need to know now

- Fire-fighting aircraft prefer to use sheltered bays and coastal areas for water collection, which are also frequented by water sports enthusiasts.
- Skippers should be able to recognise approach patterns, avoid operational areas, immediately maintain a safe distance (at least 500 m) during firefighting approaches and manoeuvre in a predictable manner.
- Obstructing water collection compromises safety, delays the firefighting rhythm and can significantly impair efforts to tackle forest fires.

- Heligoland’s South Harbour is being rebuilt to accommodate longer multi-purpose vessels operated by the federal government, including the extension and reinforcement of the breakwater and the deepening of the harbour basin.  
- Work on the southern breakwater is due to begin in spring 2027 and is expected to cost tens of millions; preliminary work is already underway.  
- Before construction begins, the harbour will be surveyed for unexploded ordnance; recreational craft will face restrictions due to offshore operations, a ban on anchoring in the outer harbour and construction work.
